Chapter 6: Hidden hatred reveals poisonous hearts
Female official Su summoned the little palace maid together violently, holding a larger rattan in her hand, staring at these people with fierce eyes, her face was swollen like pig's blood, her eyes seemed to burst out, her fat forehead was bulging with green tendons, and her upper and lower lip pieces had been separated, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Stand up for me obediently, I can still punish me a little lightly, if you are found out, then you are not far from death!"
The little palace maids who were kneeling all over the courtyard didn't dare to speak, they lowered their heads deeply, and they didn't dare to breathe. At the feet of Lady Su was a pile of broken vases, I heard what kind of tribute vases, the emperor gave them to Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu rewarded them. Just looking at the beautiful luster in the fragments, you know that it must be worth a lot. Female official Su is very fond of it, placing it in the house, sending people to wipe it every day, which is very rare. But when she entered the house today, she saw that the vase was shattered all over the ground, and she was so angry that she must break the body of the bad person into pieces!
"Don't admit it, do you? All right! Then you can't escape! Come on, give me a slap in the face! ”
Female Officer Su sat down on the chair behind her, her plump body spread out, and with a wave of her big hand, there was a person next to her who walked to the side of the little palace maids, raised her hand, and saw that she was about to fight! All the little palace maids couldn't help but tremble, they had seen the ruthlessness of Female Official Su, and they were all afraid that disaster would befall them.
"Smack!"
"Ahh
With a crisp slap sound, the first little palace maid also shouted, followed by two "pops", and suddenly the palace maid's face was swollen and tall, and the bloodshot was clearly visible. They are all children, how can they withstand such a great force, their heads are buzzing, and their eyes are almost black.
"Smack!"
The second little palace maid was also severely punished.
"Female Officer Su spares her life! I...... I know who ......"
The third maid was about to be beaten, and she suddenly spoke.
Female official Su fixed her eyes and saw that it was a palace maid named Fan Xuege, she squinted her eyes and asked:
"Say! Who is it! ”
Fan Xuege's voice trembled, with a hesitant tone, and said:
"Yes...... Be...... Tao Qingling......"
What the!!! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing if it was because they were surprised to hear this fact, or because they were relieved that they had finally found the culprit and didn't have to bother themselves. Tao Qingling is the one who quarreled with others because of the position of the bed before, and then had a verbal dispute with Chu Feiyan. Subsequently, everyone's eyes looked at Tao Qingling, and even some people were resentful, especially those who had been beaten before, angry because of why she didn't admit early that she had been beaten for no reason. At this time, Tao Qingling, who was surrounded by sharp eyes, was stunned there.
"Tao Qingling! Get out of here! ”
Female Officer Su finally found the person who damaged her beloved thing, and her anger was even more fierce, her eyes were like copper bells, and she yelled angrily.
"Female Officer Su, I didn't! Not me! ”
Tao Qingling hurriedly defended herself, but was soon put out by the two palace maids and thrown to the ground, Tao Qingling's whole body was thrown there, and a red mark was rubbed on her face.
"Beat me to death!"
"Yes!"
Female official Su didn't listen to her explanation at all, and as soon as she gave an order, the palace maid next to her immediately took the rattan in her hand, opened the fight, and was about to start fighting.
"Female official Su, the slave and maid are wronged! You can't just listen to other people's nonsense and think it's me, it's really not a slave who did it! ”
Before being beaten, Tao Qingling hurriedly but clearly said this sentence, and when Female Officer Su saw that she was still denying, she spoke sharply, thinking that she couldn't just listen to what others said for a while, as if she didn't speak justice.
"Okay, don't admit it, do you? You! Fan Xuege, are you sure it's Tao Qingling's broken tribute bottle? ”
Fan Xuege hurriedly knelt down and crawled over, crouched at the feet of Female Officer Su, and said with great flattery:
"Back to the Su female officer, the slave maid passed by in front of your room today, and heard a 'bang' inside, and then saw Tao Qingling come out of the inside in a panic, at that time the slave didn't know the details, didn't think much about it, now in retrospect, it was the sound of the vase breaking, I didn't expect ......"
After Fan Xuege finished speaking, Tao Qingling's eyes widened in disbelief, and said:
"How can you talk nonsense! I was delivering clothes to a female officer, and I didn't hear the sound of the vase falling on the ground, how could it be me? Besides, I'm not panicking! ”
"Ah, not you? Oh well......"
Fan Xuege's tone was similar to perfunctory, which aroused Tao Qingling's anger even more.
"What do you call that well! You ......"
"Shut up!"
Female Officer Su couldn't bear it anymore and scolded loudly:
"Tao Qingling, someone saw you running out of my house, and you admitted it, what else is there to quibble! Call me! ”
"Female Officer Su! No! Yes! It hurts! ”
"Smack! Syllable! ”
The rattan whipped on Tao Qingling's body one after another, the pain of pulling the flesh and skin made people hurt to the bone, every time the rattan fell, Tao Qingling's body twitched, and when the strip flew up, there was a trace of blood on it, and the surrounding ground was also dragged on a bright red, coupled with Tao Qingling's painful wail, the scene was really miserable. It was the first time for the little palace maids to see such a bloody scene, and they couldn't help but tremble.
"Female officer, slave and maid are wronged! Yes! Yes! ”
"It's still hard-mouthed, the evidence is conclusive, so stubborn, give me a hard beating!"
The palace maid increased the strength in her hand even more, Tao Qingling couldn't help herself in pain, she couldn't struggle, curled up, her face was against the ground, the scratches of the gravel were already unconscious, and the fear in her heart completely covered up the anger, and in the end she could only be beaten and hummed, but this voice made people feel creepy.
Han Ying was on the side, and she really couldn't bear to look at it anymore, the palace was really strict in the law, but if she broke something, she would lose her life. She closed her eyes, she really didn't ask for anything now, as long as she could live a stable life, be careful in everything, and live well...... No one around dared to intercede, and they all knew that Lady Su was killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and she reprimanded all the little palace maids on the grounds of Tao Qingling, and finally said:
"No matter how honest you are, this is the end! Okay, don't kill it, recently the princess of Jianing in the palace is going to get married, and this is taboo. ”
Finally, Tao Qingling was saved, but the whole person had already fainted, her body was soft, her clothes were tattered, and she was dragged into the dilapidated room next to her like a bloody person.
Everyone dispersed, Lady Su had something to do, so she left first, and everyone quickly bypassed the blood on the ground and ran into the house.
"You say, will Tao Qingling die like this? That's too unlucky! I'm still sleeping next to her! ”
One of the maidens was still terrified, and the other replied:
"I don't know, it looks like it's no longer good!"
"Alas, she is also to blame."
Everyone sighed, and they all stayed away from the place where Tao Qingling used to sleep, which was now like a ghost animal.
Han Ying was very worried about Tao Qingling's situation in her heart, and felt that everyone was like this, it was a bit excessive, even if she did something wrong, and now she was punished like this, shouldn't she be sympathetic? But she also knew everyone's concerns, so she didn't speak, turned around to look for Chu Feiyan, and wanted to talk to her about the blockage in her heart. But he did not see it, so he went out of the house and went into the courtyard to look for it. She saw that the blood on the ground had been cleaned up, so quickly. Han Ying wondered where Chu Yanfei went, so she kept looking for it, and suddenly, in a hidden corner, she heard Fan Xuege's voice:
"Thanks! If you have this in the future, you can come back to me! ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so bold, and you acted so really."
It's Chu Feiyan, why are they sneaking around here? Han Ying walked over quietly, and heard Fan Xuege say again:
"It's not because of your money, but you're much better than me, and you arrange things seamlessly. asked Tao Qinglingbai to carry the pot for you, and you also took revenge. ”
"Okay, don't say more, go back quickly, don't be discovered!"
After Fan Xuege entered the house, Chu Feiyan came out, and suddenly, she saw Han Ying standing in front of her angrily, she walked over and said with a smile:
"What's wrong Hotaru?"
Han Ying couldn't imagine how a girl with such a gentle tone to herself could do such a vicious thing! Withstanding her anger, she said:
"I hear it all!"
Chu Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then understood, she put away her smile, came to Han Ying, and said:
"It was she who broke my pearl hairpin first, that was my mother's favorite when she was alive, and then she didn't admit it, can you accept this matter on you?"
It turned out that Chu Feiyan was so grudgeful, and that kind of thing could actually make her calculate Tao Qingling like that, Han Ying still couldn't believe it.
"Then you can't do that, she's dying, you know?"
Chu Feiyan glared angrily:
"That's her own fault! Besides, I didn't know that Lady Su would be so ruthless! ”
Han Ying's eyes were slightly red, she didn't expect that the person who had always been a good sister would actually do such a frame-up thing, she was extremely disappointed, and she knew that she couldn't talk about her, so she wanted to turn around and leave.
"Why are you going?"
Chu Yanfei shouted, then ran over and said:
"Are you going to denounce me?"
Han Ying stared at Chu Yanfei's unrepentant face and said:
"Tao Qingling is wronged!"
Chu Yanfei sighed, grabbed Han Ying and said, sincerely:
"Hotaru, if you go and say it, then I'll be the one who will be beaten again! In the end, Tao Qingling and I will both die! I also said, I lost the most important thing of my mother first, why can't I take revenge? Do you think it's all my fault? ”
Han Ying was speechless, in her heart, Chu Yanfei was the best person for her since her family had an accident, except for Aunt Wang. I usually always think about myself, if I have delicious food, I will give half of it to myself, and the female official Su will secretly help in the assessment, which is indeed very sincere. Seeing that Chu Feiyan had already cried, Han Ying was cowardly, and she couldn't bear to let her sister suffer such a punishment again, but what should Tao Qingling do? Han Ying had no choice but to take care of both sides, so she had to close her eyes and say:
"Don't do that again."
Chu Feiyan saw that Han Ying had forgiven herself, and burst into laughter, and then said to her in a serious tone:
"Firefly, I saw the danger of the situation early, and even more so in the palace, you must be careful every step, otherwise if you don't provoke others, you will also find you. Don't expose yourself completely, learn to hide your truth, you can live better, you know? ”
Han Ying nodded, she knew Chu Feiyan's kindness, indeed, in the scene just now, if Tao Qingling could endure it, maybe he could reduce the punishment, and if he had a hard mouth, it would also bring him a more serious disaster.
Two days have passed since the incident, Han Ying is still a little depressed, she has always felt a little guilty about Tao Qingling in her heart, she knows the truth, but she can't say it, what is the difference between this and cover-up? However, things are already like this, and if the truth is told again, it will be a mess, and it will affect more, and Tao Qingling's injury will not be healed. Han Ying came to Tao Qingling's broken house, pushed open the door, and a smell of blood wafted in the room, she walked over and saw Tao Qingling lying on the bed in a mess, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. The fluffy hair covered the face, and Han Ying relied on her courage to walk over and call softly:
"Qingling?"
