Hearing that Xue Jinian was a little annoyed and angry, Hua Qian hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful.

Xue Jinian didn't really annoy her, but this girl's habitual mouth was not covered, and he was a little worried that she would suffer a secret loss in the palace. The moment he abducted her into the palace, he never thought that one day he would be so attentive to this girl.

"I'll be busier in the next time, don't run around in the palace, follow Changle with nothing to do."

If she doesn't follow Changle, who is she going to follow? No one wants to play with her.

However, Hua Qian was not ready to tell him, anyway, she didn't do anything that was contrary to Yang and Yin, so she replied vividly: "I understand, if she doesn't come to me, I will definitely not go to her." I will obediently stay in the Feique Palace and wait for you to come. ”

Xue Jinian: "......" The tips of his ears quietly crept up to red, although he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was reluctant to let go of the girl in his arms.

Who knows, Hua Qian didn't think it was enough to flirt, she took a step back, took out a pink handkerchief from her arms, covered her head, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, do you think I look like a bride?" ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

Hua Qian continued: "In order to make up for your regret of losing the chapel today, you will just lift my red hijab." ”

She smiled and grinned, not serious at all.

But Xue Jinian didn't move, Hua Qian stopped, wondering if he was joking too much, and was about to tear off the handkerchief himself, but heard him say, "Don't move." ”

Then she felt him take a step closer to her, she looked down, and saw his black official boots, which were obviously just a joke, and she suddenly felt nervous, as if she was really a bride sitting on the wedding bed, anxiously waiting for her newlywed husband to lift her red hijab.

The handkerchief on her head was gently removed, and Xue Jinian's beautiful face was reflected in her eyes.

She looked straight at him, and between her eyes, there was only a clear small image, deep in the hearts of both parties.

"Xianggong, you lifted my hijab, I am your person, and in the future, honor and disgrace will accompany you in life and death, you can't leave me."

She never forgot to remind Xue Jinian of this.

As for whether she herself will forget? Then it depends on when the antidote is in hand.

Xue Jinian stared at her tightly, his eyes sparkling: "Hmm." ”

Although his expression was calm, only he knew that the hand holding the handkerchief hanging by his side was faintly shaking, which was the uncontrollable tension and excitement in his heart.

Although there is only one word, Hua Qian has no reason to believe that even if there is only one word, this word weighs more than a thousand catties.

Dongchang Imperial Prison.

Xue Jinian took Xue Qi into the cell.

Xue Yan's cursing could be heard from far away. I have to say that Xue Qi's level of scolding is far from Changle, and he is also asking Hou Xue Qi's ancestor, but he still owes Hou Huo, so that he wants Xue Qi to chop him into meat sauce every minute.

Xue Qi's face was gloomy, and he was as silent as ever behind Xue Jinian. When he came to the prison door, a guard immediately stepped forward to open the iron lock, Xue Qi pushed the door open, let Xue Jinian in, and then turned around and went out, quietly guarding the door.

Even when he heard Xue Yan's arrogant foul language inside, he still didn't have any expression, he just lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xue Yan coldly from the crack in the wooden fence, and then turned his gaze.

He was thinking about it seriously, and when the overseer was done with the interrogation, would it be better to drag it down and chop it into minced meat to feed the fish, or chop it into pieces of meat to feed the dogs?

It's hard to decide.

Xue Xian's arms were tied wide, and two sharp iron shuttles pierced into the stake through his palms, nailing him firmly to the cross. Blood flowed down his wrist and into his neck, staining the entire cuff red. He was still wearing the same dusty clothes as he had been that day, and there were a few dark stains on the front of his chest, apparently from internal injuries.

Seeing Xue Jinian enter, Xue Xi suddenly became excited: "Overseer, overseer save me." He wanted to plead at Xue Jinian's feet as usual, but when he moved slightly, his palms hurt to the bones, and cold sweat flowed down again.

Xue Jinian glanced at him gloomily, which made Xue Xian's originally happy gaze suddenly condense.

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and spoke: "Overseer......" His voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.

Xue Qi waved his hand, and the two guards entered, stepped forward to untie Xue Yan's rope, and pulled out the iron shuttle pierced in the palm of his hand with an expressionless face, and the wound that was almost solidified suddenly splattered blood. Xue Yan wailed, shrunk his arms and fell to the ground, his body almost convulsed in pain.

Although the pain was deep to the bone, he still didn't forget to question Xue Qi who was standing at the door: "Xue Qi, why are you holding me?" ”

After noon, he went out to do some errands, and as soon as he came back, he met Xue Qi coming towards him, and he said hello to Xue Qi from afar. Who knew that the other party didn't say a word, and when he got closer, he suddenly took the scimitar out of its sheath and went straight to the front door.

Although Xue Yan didn't know what to do, he was not to be outdone, and the two fought directly in the backyard for more than ten rounds, Xue Yan was defeated, and Xue Qi kicked and broke his ribs, and his body flew several meters away.

Xue Qi was not enough, and in Xue Yan's incessant begging for mercy, he ruthlessly broke Xue Yan's hamstrings.

At first, Xue Yan thought that Xue Qi was going to feed him with tricks, and Xue Jinian sat in the digital army, and when there was no task, they would often make moves with each other and exercise their reactions to the enemy. But Xue Qi never fought with them.

Xue Yan didn't expect that the first time Xue Qi fought with him, he would abolish his muscles, and this was by no means a competition between colleagues.

Sure enough, Xue Qi's next move confirmed his conjecture. He was dragged into the cell by Xue Qi, and a jailer came over, and he scolded him sternly, but the other party hung him on the torture rack neatly with his hands and feet.

"You are so bold, you ...... Yes! ”

No one paid attention to him, and what answered him was Xue Qi's unblinking eyes, and blood was splashed everywhere.

Dongchang Imperial Prison has always been a place where prisoners were interrogated. Xue Xi himself was a cool official and a good interrogator, he didn't expect that one day, he would switch roles and become the one being interrogated.

He is very skilled in using all the torture tools here, and he looks very kind on weekdays, but one day, when these things are used on his body, he can't resist them at all.

After hanging him up, Xue Qi glanced at him coldly, turned around and left, not caring what Xue Qi said and scolded......

In the past, Xue Xi had a lot of complaints about the taciturn Xue Qi, and now he scolded him without any scruples. But no matter how loud the scolding is, no matter how vicious the curse is, it can't get a look from the other party. He suddenly remembered that afternoon, when Princess Changle pinched her waist and sprayed wildly into the sky, he was terrified.

The only people who can leave alive after entering the edict prison have been Changle and Changning since he took office. But people are princesses, what about him?

Xue Jinian paced two steps in the narrow cell with his hands in his hands, and suddenly spoke: "Xue Yan, your master is gentle." ”

The tone is gentle, and the meaning is firm.

Wen Wan, the mother of the Great Jin Dynasty, the current queen, and the biological mother of Princess Changle.

Xue Yan was stunned, and then trembled: "Governor, Governor, what are you talking about?" The subordinates didn't understand. The subordinates have always been loyal to the Overseer, and there is no second heart. Xue Qi harmed his colleagues for his own selfish interests, and begged the overseer to make decisions for his subordinates! Ignoring his lame legs, he fell deep on the ground and kowtowed.

Xue Jinian didn't seem to hear his defense, and continued: "On the way back to the palace from Tianguan Temple, you were also ambushed all the way, right?" ”

Xue Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, widened his eyes in horror, but his head shook like a rattle, and he denied it: "No, my subordinates are wronged, and my subordinates will never dare to do such a traitorous act." Ask the Overseer to find out! ”

Xue Jinian smiled coldly: "Ming Cha? This inspector has been long enough! Otherwise, you think you're alive today?! ”

"On the occasion of the Governor's departure from Beijing, he wantonly eliminated dissidents, secretly leaked the secrets of the factory, and colluded with his henchmen to murder the Governor, intending to replace him. Has the Governor's words wronged you? ”

With Xue Jinian's words, Xue Yan's face became whiter and whiter, and he was almost colorless at the end.

Xue Yan raised his head in shock, his body trembled for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Since the Overseer has already discovered it?" Why didn't you eradicate your subordinates after returning to Beijing? ”

After Xue Jinian returned to Beijing, it could be said that there was a river of blood in Dongchang, and thinking of the blood stains that could not be wiped clean all over the ground, Xue Yan's arm hanging on the floor twitched nervously.

"If Ben Governor says he wants to give you a chance, do you believe it?"

Believe it? How can it be? How could the ruthless Xue Jinian give the betrayed person a chance?!

Seeing Xue Yan's stunned but disbelieving face, Xue Jinian said in a low voice: "So, you don't believe it." Indeed, the Doge himself did not believe it. ”

He has some regrets, but it seems to be taken for granted, people in this world basically look at him like this, except for Hua Qian.

Up to now, Xue Xian's argument is irrefutable, although the cold sweat is like rain, he is still making the final dispute: "Until now, the subordinates dare not deceive, it is all the meaning of the concubine, although the subordinates are unwilling, they have to obey." ”

"Huh? The concubine? ”

Seeing that Xue Jinian's expression seemed to be a little relaxed, Xue Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly added: "It is the imperial concubine Niangniang, Niangniang asked her subordinates to keep an eye on the overseer and return to the factory at any time." "Zero-One Reading Network

"Is it staring at me, or is it going to take its place?"

"My subordinates would never dare to have such thoughts!"

"Don't dare?"

Xue Jinian sneered coldly, why don't you dare? The Admiral of Dongchang is in a high position, who is not stepping on the white bones to ascend to the top?

The same goes for himself!

"Then ambushing Bendu halfway, is also the meaning of the concubine? Ben Du is dead, what good is it for the imperial concubine? ”

"Subordinates, subordinates don't know, subordinates are forced to act as a last resort, subordinates ......" he muttered at a loss.

"You are indeed acting on orders, but not on the orders of the noble concubine." He slowly took a step closer to Xue Yan and said in a low voice: "You are loyal, and you still don't forget to sow discord when you die." ”

"Overseer, Overseer......"

Xue Jinian asked with a soft face: "Xue Yan, you said last time, how many years have you been with Bendu?" ”

Xue Xi supported the ground with both hands, the two hideous blood holes on the back of his hands were still bleeding out, his body trembled like a leaf in the wind, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out two words: "Three years." ”

He has been with Xue Jinian for three years, so he knows a lot about this master. The more gentle he is, the worse his fate will be. Because in Xue Jinian's eyes, he is already a dead man.

"Three years, tsk, if you can't let this governor see a person clearly in three years, I'm afraid that this governor has already changed hands."

"Overseer, Overseer, Overseer, Overseer......"

Xue Xian couldn't care about anything else, he cried, he was originally a rootless person, he listened to people's words for a while, and fell to the point where he is now, but even so, he also wants to seek a glimmer of life.

Ignoring the limbs that had been picked off, he crawled in front of Xue Jinian and kowtowed in blood: "Overseer, they are all subordinate ghosts, it was Princess Anping who said that if you can make it impossible for you to return to Beijing, she will let me sit on the master of Dongchang." Overseer, please spare your subordinates, your subordinates will not dare again......"

Don't dare anymore?

With him, how did he ever give a betrayer a second chance?!

@@@

Hua Qian returned to the palace, and as soon as he stepped into the Feique Palace, he saw the bright yellow robe.

Empress Wen took Changle to sit next to the bookcase in the main hall of Feique Palace, her long armor slightly cocked, and she was on the jade porcelain cup, knocking it again and again. The palace maids and eunuchs all over the ground shrank and knelt aside, obviously waiting for Hou Huaqian for a long time.

Hearing footsteps, they all looked at her. Hua Qian's heart gasped, the big thing is not good.

"Where did you go?" Although Empress Wen's voice was not harsh, the hearts of those who listened twitched.

Hua Qian's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, and he immediately knelt on the ground as soon as his knees bent, and replied honestly: "Erchen is out of the palace." ”

"Who did you see?"

Hua Qian pursed her lips and continued to tell the truth: "Xue Jinian." ”

Even if she doesn't say it, according to the current battle, Queen Wen will already know about it.

Boom...... A teacup flew past her forehead and slammed into the doorframe not far behind her.

Hua Qian trembled, Queen Wen's eyesight of smashing the bowl was really tricky, and she flew over close to her skin, and the residual heat of the porcelain friction still remained on her forehead, but Hua Qian knew that there was no broken phase.

Quasi-push!

Empress Wen's face changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, stared at Hua Qian, and shouted: "Changning, you are so bold, you dare to ignore the order of the palace and leave the palace without permission!" ”

Hua shallow shrank, and timidly raised her head to look at Changle beside Empress Wen. She obviously accompanied Changle out of the palace, but in Queen Wen's mouth, she was the only one.

Princess Changle stirred the handkerchief, obviously very nervous, and when she came into contact with Hua Qian's gaze, she was even more at a loss, and her face was full of desire to speak.

Empress Wen lost her temper, "Changning, what else do you have to say?" ”

Hua Qian knelt down on the ground: "Erchen has nothing to say." ”

What else could she say? She really left the palace without an order.

Seeing Hua Qian's negative attitude, Princess Changle struggled in her heart for a while, but she still lifted the corner of her skirt very righteously, knelt down beside Hua Qian, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, it's the fault of the son-in-law." It was the retainer who dragged the imperial sister out of the palace, and it was none of the imperial sister's business. ”

"Shut up!" Empress Wen glared coldly, stared at Changle and said sharply: "If you say one more word, go back to Feiyun Palace immediately!" ”

"I ......" Princess Changle moved her knees, full of anger and helplessness, Hua Zhi quickly stepped forward and pulled her up from Hua Qian's side, Princess Changle was unwilling to say something, was pulled by Hua Zhi's sleeves, and persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, the queen mother is angry, don't mess with her again." ”

Princess Changle stared at Queen Wen's frosty face, held back, and really didn't speak again. She glanced at Hua Qian apologetically, pursed her lips and stood aside.

Seeing this, Hua Qian also understood that it was not about Changle, it was purely because Queen Wen didn't like her.

Regardless of whether Changle is stirred up in it or not, Empress Wen will only sprinkle her anger on her.

"Changning, how many times have you made mistakes since you returned to the palace? This palace originally understood that you grew up outside the palace, and did not understand the etiquette in the palace, so it tolerated you everywhere. But now, you have been in the palace for half a year, and you still do not repent, and you have repeatedly challenged the orders of the palace. ”

Hua Qian didn't raise his head, and shook slightly, knowing that he was afraid that he would suffer some flesh and skin today. She knew in her heart that this was just an excuse that Empress Wen had given herself to beat her.

Still tolerant everywhere? When did she tolerate? As for the lack of discipline, what else did she teach besides locking her up in the Feique Palace?

At this time, Hua Qian no longer had the same naïve thoughts as when she first entered the palace, what replaced Yin Yuli's last wish to take good care of her mother? Where does her mother need to be cared for?

She just wants to take care of herself now!

Seeing Hua Qian kneeling in place without begging for mercy, Queen Wen's eyes sharpened, slapped the table violently, and shouted: "Princess Changning has no palace rules to disobey the will, and the punishment of the cane will be picked up, come on!" Pull it down! ”

Hua Qian couldn't believe it, although she was mentally prepared, but Queen Wen was so resolute that she would be punished, was she too anxious? She also told herself before that she would never let Empress Wen find a chance to break her legs.

It turns out that one person doesn't like the other, and when he wants to beat you up, he can find a reason every minute.

It's not the first time that she has gone out of the palace without permission, and Princess Changle has more. This time, it was Princess Changle who made it happen, she just pushed the boat along the river, she didn't believe that Queen Wen didn't know.

But in the end, she was the only one who was punished.

There is no fairness or injustice, and there is a difference between relatives and aliens among biological daughters, not to mention that she is still a fake, and she has no confidence to argue.

It's useless to fight.

The place of execution was in the front yard of Feique Palace, and in front of the palace attendants, a palm-wide wooden staff fell down and smashed heavily on her back.

From the first staff, she understood how sophisticated the executioner was.

The sound sounded, and the internal strength was even stronger, she turned her head in a cold sweat and glanced at the palace eunuch, and she resisted with internal strength, but she didn't expect to be hurt even more.

After picking up the cane, Hua Qian almost fainted, cold sweat broke out layer by layer, wetting all the clothes, and even the hair was dripping. The qi and blood in the body surged, the internal organs screamed in pain, Hua Qian's face changed several times, and after enduring it, a mouthful of blood finally came out.

"Princess!" Jinxin knelt not far away, saw Hua Qian vomiting blood, didn't care about Queen Wen's presence, crawled over on her knees, trembled and helped Hua Qian, suppressed her crying: "Princess......"

The fight has already been beaten, Queen Wen didn't care about Jinxin's actions, but just said to Hua Qian, who was pale on the ground: "This palace remembers your first offense, so you are not bound by the prudent department, if you dare to commit it again in the future, don't blame this palace for not thinking about the relationship between mother and daughter." ”

After the vicious threat, Empress Wen flicked her sleeves and led everyone out of Feique Palace.

Hua Qian smiled silently and bitterly, the love of mother and daughter? How did she ever care?

Luckily, she's not really her daughter either.

Fortunately!
