Chapter 44 Beating
Ling Xi walked into the Flying Feather Hall again, since she left the Inner Guard Mansion, Wang Shuyue was grounded, just like she was at the beginning, but she was banned because Xiuzhu was poisoned, and it is said that Wang Shuyue was banned because of the emperor's disgrace and mental trance. Xiang Hongxuan already knew the truth, but did not ask Wang Shuyue in substance, which shows that Xiang Hongxuan may not be able to punish the Wang family, so how should the poisoning end?
Ling Xi's heart couldn't help but feel apprehensive, what did Xiang Hongxuan mean? Her steps became heavy, every time she came to the Flying Feather Palace, she had a depressed mood, she didn't like to be summoned to the Flying Feather Hall by Xiang Hongxuan, it seemed that she came to this Flying Feather Palace, she had a feeling of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, the first few times Xiang Hongxuan was summoned, she was walking on thin ice, and this time what would she do?
Xiang Hongxuan sat in the hall with an expressionless face, there were three trays in front of him, covered with yellow cloth, and Ling Xi couldn't see what was in these trays.
"Queen, choose one." Xiang Hongxuan said quietly.
Then Xiang Hongxuan uncovered the imperial cloth on the tray one by one, and daggers, wine and white silk appeared in front of Ling Xi's eyes, Ling Xi was shocked, Xiang Hongxuan wanted her to die. As soon as her legs were weak, she immediately knelt in front of Xiang Hongxuan.
"Your Majesty wants your concubines to take it for others?" Ling Xi said unwillingly.
Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan in despair, she lost the bet again, and she was about to lose her life. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in front of her eyes, something strange about this.
Since ancient times, after the death of the concubine, the emperor will not come forward in person, this kind of thing that hurts the relationship between husband and wife, and can't pull down his face, why should Xiang Hongxuan do it himself? And the concubine should not choose the way to die by the concubine herself, the queen has the dignity of the queen, not that any way to die is in line with the queen's identity, that is to say, Xiang Hongxuan is intentionally testing her? Ling Xi remembered Xiang Hongxuan's usual intimidation methods, which was Xiang Hongxuan's style, should she gamble again?
"The Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse, I can't make the Queen Mother sad, I can only grieve the Queen." Xiang Hongxuan said lightly, the corner of his eye swept over Ling Xi's face, he wanted to know how Ling Xi would protect himself in order to survive. If Ling Xi really brought out the Ling family and the Jiang family to protect himself, then he would no longer be able to tolerate Ling Xi.
"Does Your Majesty want your concubines to choose the way to die? But these concubines don't like it, can the concubines choose other ways to die by themselves? ”
"How does the queen want to die?"
"The concubine wants to die in the Jiaofang Palace."
Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but sneer, he thought that Ling Xi would say something to protect himself, but it turned out to be just a joke, can this woman be serious. Was he overestimating this woman?
"Didn't the queen think that if she was amused, she wouldn't have to die?" Xiang Hongxuan said jokingly.
"Does Your Majesty think it's funny? But the concubine felt sad, it was not the concubine who wanted to enter the palace, it was His Majesty who appointed the concubine as the queen, and after the concubine entered the palace, it was His Majesty who deliberately snubbed the concubine, and in the end His Majesty let the concubine walk out of the Jiaofang Palace, and now His Majesty wants the concubine to die unjustly, doesn't Your Majesty feel sad for the concubine? ”
Ling Xi questioned Xiang Hongxuan, she didn't want to enter the palace from beginning to end, she avoided it, but in the end she couldn't hide
, she was unwilling to die unjustly. Although she wasn't sure if Xiang Hongxuan really wanted to kill her, even if she really wanted to die, she had to make it clear the bitterness in her stomach, and she had to die without regrets, and she had to feel guilty to Xiang Hongxuan, so that her death would be worthwhile.
Xiang Hongxuan walked in front of Ling Xi, he squatted down and looked at Ling Xi's somewhat angry and stubborn eyes.
"The queen doesn't want to die?"
"The ants are still greedy for life, and the concubines naturally don't want to die. But since ancient times, if the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and His Majesty wants the concubine to die, and the concubine will definitely fulfill His Majesty's wish. After speaking, Ling Xi slammed his head on the ground.
Tears from the corners of Ling Xi's eyes flowed down her face to the cold ground, at this moment, her fate was in the hands of the man in front of her, this man who ruined her life's happiness was about to take her life, thinking of this, Ling Xi's tears of grievance and unwillingness continued to gush out of her eyes. Xiang Hongxuan gently lifted Ling Xi's face with one hand, and Ling Xi's face was full of tears, looking at him with resentment.
Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he had seen the dull and wooden Ling Xi, he had also seen the cunning Ling Xi in his eyes, and he had also seen the dying and stubborn Ling Xi, but he had never seen the tearful Ling Xi, it was indeed as the woman in front of her said, she did nothing wrong, and her misfortune came from him. Xiang Hongxuan's heart didn't know what was going on, and he was entangled together, which was very uncomfortable.
"If I spare the queen's life, how will the queen repay me."
"The concubine knows that she has no talent and no virtue, and she is not the person that His Majesty loves, but the concubine will use her life's bad wisdom to share the worries of Your Majesty in the harem, Your Majesty's harem will definitely be what Your Majesty hopes, and the concubine will give Your Majesty the most comfortable harem to prove the loyalty of the concubine, and the concubine will be a useful queen."
Xiang Hongxuan slowly helped Ling Xi up from the ground, and one of his hands wiped away the tears on Ling Xi's face.
"The queen remembers what she said, be a virtuous and virtuous queen, and don't live up to my trust."
"Your Majesty, how should Concubine Shu's poisoning case be resolved?"
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi, who was unwilling in his eyes, he turned around and strode to the main seat and sat down.
"The palace man Xiuzhu was jealous and hateful, poisoned the concubine, persecuted the imperial heir, Xiuzhu was executed in Lingchi, and the nine clans were exterminated." Xiang Hongxuan said coldly.
Ling Xi was startled, her body trembled slightly, this time she escaped the fate she had suffered for others, so what about the next time? But Xiuzhu paid a terrible price for her stupidity, and Ling Xi walked out of the hall in a bit of despair.
"Queen, remember your own promise, be my queen, Xiuzhu's fate is a lesson from the past."
Xiang Hongxuan's words came from behind Ling Xi, sure enough, the Flying Feather Hall was a purgatory ground that escaped death, if she could, she would never want to come to this Flying Feather Hall again in her life.
Xiang Hongxuan took out the abolished Yi Zhi from his arms, his hands were still stained with wet and salty tears, he remembered Ling Xi's somewhat infatuated complaint just now, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly, and silently tore up the Yi Zhi in his hand.

..................................................................................................................
Ling Xi stood in the Outer Imperial City, a cold wind blew, she wrapped the robe tightly on her body, but it didn't stop the biting chill from invading her body, she couldn't help coughing a few times.
After returning from the Flying Feather Palace, she was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said that she was infected with wind and cold, but Ling Xi knew that she was frightened, and she didn't have time to think carefully about whether Xiang Hongxuan was tempting or beating herself that day, and the Queen Mother collapsed, which made Ling Xi even more panicked.
Wang Shuyue will send the Queen Mother's coffin to the Imperial Mausoleum, and will guard the Mausoleum for the Queen Mother in the Imperial Mausoleum for the rest of her life, that is to say, Ling Xi once thought that she would be an obstacle to Xiang Hongxuan to prevent Wang Shuyue from winning the throne, but now it seems that she has no effect. There is no favored queen, no matter how good she is, her future can be imagined, either she will spend her life in the cold palace, or she may die, and this time, Xiang Hongxuan will not give her another chance.
She sighed wistfully, she remembered the military report she saw in Xiang Hongxuan some time ago, if there was no Nanxi war, Xiang Hongxuan needed Jiang and Ling to serve on the battlefield, and Xiang Hongxuan would be impatient to abolish himself. From now on, she has to be careful to live in the harem, and she has to desperately let Xiang Hongxuan know that she, the queen, is useful to Xiang Hongxuan, she is a little confused at this moment, is she entering the palace to live so humbly?
"Queen Mother, Mrs. Wang is ready, and the team to see off the Queen Mother's coffin can set off." Ginkgo walked quickly to Ling Xi's side and whispered.
Ling Xi looked at the carriage in the distance, Wang Shuyue slowly got down from the carriage and was walking towards her.
"Queen Mother, I didn't expect that it was you who saw off the concubine in the end."
Wang Shuyue glanced at the palace gate of the Imperial City outside Ling Xi's body, after stepping through that palace gate, she would never have the opportunity to enter this imperial city again in her life.
"This palace is in accordance with His Majesty's will, to see off Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang rest assured, the Queen Mother has already taken care of the imperial tomb before her death, you will not suffer when you get there, Your Majesty also prepared some supplies for you, which are your usual favorite use, you can be in the imperial tomb to atone for your sins in this life."
Wang Shuyue sneered, and suddenly she approached Ling Xi, her body leaned slightly to Ling Xi's side, she put her head close to Ling Xi's ear, and whispered, "Sin? Which woman in this harem is not guilty? A woman who is not guilty has been killed a long time ago, Queen Mother, one day you will be like a concubine, the concubine can see that the Queen Mother, your city and burden are not less than that of the concubine, you just haven't reached a dead end, one day if your heart hurts, if your family is in danger, you will be more vicious than the concubine. The concubine can't see it, the first time I see you, the concubine will be my biggest opponent, but unfortunately the concubine doesn't
The opportunity is up against you. After speaking, Wang Shuyue straightened up a little lonely, and she turned around and was about to leave.
"Your Majesty has a message for this palace to bring to you." Ling Xi said softly.
Wang Shuyue immediately stopped, she hesitated a little, and slowly turned around.
"What did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty said that you asked him in Yixiang Palace that day, and he said, there is no if, you should not withdraw from the marriage and enter the palace."
Suddenly, Wang Shuyue's eyes moistened, and she fell to her knees and kowtowed respectfully to the east.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
Suddenly there were snowflakes falling from the sky, and Wang Shuyue looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, falling on her brocade clothes one by one, slowly melting on her clothes. It's snowing, winter in Eupong is coming, and her winter will always be there.
Mama Qin came from a distance, and she helped Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Madame, let's get on the road, if there is snow on the road, the mountain road will be even more difficult."
Wang Shuyue looked at the palace door again, a teardrop of her slid across her face, and before the tears fell to the ground, she quickly turned around and walked towards the carriage not far away.
Ling Xi looked at the send-off procession in the distance, slowly disappearing into the snow.
"Queen Mother, does Your Majesty have something to bring to Mrs. Wang?" Ginkgo asked puzzled.
"Well, this palace made it up."
"Why do you bother?"
"People always have to be a little relieved, so that they can have some thoughts, and they can live in a place like the imperial tomb."
"But Niangniang, how do you know what Mrs. Wang asked Your Majesty?"
"After she was grounded, she once asked the palace people to go to the Feiyu Hall to bring a message to Your Majesty, and Aunt An inquired about it."
Wang Shuyue still has her lies to comfort her, so what about her? Ye Muzhi's life and death are uncertain, Xiang Hongxuan is moody, she bears Ye Muzhi, she is not worthy of Ye Muzhi's heart, and she does not want to enter Xiang Hongxuan's heart, of course, she can't go in, and she has to survive in Xiang Hongxuan's beating, what should she rely on in her future harem life?
