Chapter 42: Confess Yourself
Gu Chengen got up slowly, and walked towards the two little eunuchs, and said quietly: "It just so happened that this servant Lang newly researched a kind of torture yesterday, called 'grooming'. But ......"
"Grooming is not a woman's grooming, but first pouring boiling water on the prisoner several times, and then the iron brush grabs and combs the flesh off the person one by one, just like the folk kill pigs with boiling water and then remove the hair."
"Until the skin and flesh are brushed out, revealing the white bones, and the tortured person will die of anger before the end, the punishment of grooming is similar to Ling Chi."
Life is easy, death is easy, life is not as good as death.
As long as it falls into the hands of Gu Chengen, the "cold-faced Hades", it is simply more painful than frying in an oil pan.
"Woo woo woo ......" The two little eunuchs were tied up with five flowers, and at this time their mouths were still gagged with rags, so they could only shake their heads and whimper with trembling.
Not only did their faces turn earthy, but the others couldn't help but tremble with fear when they heard this.
Gu Jinli naturally recognized the two people in front of her, they were the murderers of the Eighth Prince.
Goodbye, Hua Qiong secretly gave Concubine Li a look from time to time, and her mind flowed.
The eighth prince is young, and although he does not pose a threat to the battle for the throne, he is raised under the queen's knees.
The queen is the niece of the Empress Dowager Fang, and the entire Fang clan is the biggest backer of the queen and the eighth prince, and it will also be a great help for the eighth prince to join the battle for the throne in the future.
Qi Hao holds the power of the army, and King Xuan has also formed his own faction, and Concubine Li cannot shake their position in the court for the time being.
Rather than waiting for the Eighth Emperor to be full-fledged in the future, she should take advantage of the present to clear the obstacles for the Qing King......
Pulling the rags from the little eunuch's mouth, Gu Chengen said with pity: "Chen Er, Wang Wu, do you explain by yourself, or will this servant help you loosen your mouth?" ”
"Slave...... Minion...... Explain it yourself, explain it yourself! ”
"Bang bang bang", the two of them didn't care to look at Concubine Li, and while kowtowing their heads, they said incoherently: "The emperor...... Your Majesty, is it ...... It's Concubine Li, Niangniang...... She commanded! ”
"Dog minion!" Concubine Li's face immediately lost color, "snapped", the red nails clenched in response to the sound were broken, and she said angrily: "How dare you slander this palace? Have you eaten bear's heart leopard gall? ”
"Don't forget, if this palace hadn't treated you well on weekdays, your parents, brothers and sisters would have a good life today?"
The phoenix eyes glared fiercely at Chen Er and Wang Wu who were kneeling below, and the threat hidden in those words was very obvious.
Sure enough, the two looked at Concubine Li, and then at the sneering Gu Chengen, shrunk their necks, and struggled.
Concubine Li took advantage of the hesitation of the two of them, changed her fierce words just now, and hurriedly turned to the emperor and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, someone must have bought these two dog minions and deliberately framed the concubines, you have to be the master of the concubines!" This basin of sewage concubines can't stand it! ”
Pinching the handkerchief, she forced her composure.
"Yes, yes, father, mother, she was wronged!" Hua Qiong nodded like pounding garlic, and immediately said in a nervous voice: "Besides, the mother concubine has no reason to harm the eighth brother!" ”
The emperor took in the panic hidden under Concubine Li and Hua Qiong's delicate faces, and the anger between his eyebrows faintly jumped out again.
"Father." At this time, the eighth prince tugged at the emperor's sleeve and said softly: "It's windy at night, so let's let Concubine Gu go down and change her clothes first." ”
Although his facial features have not fully opened, his delicate eyebrows and eyes make people feel soft when they look at it.
The emperor saw that Gu Jinli was indeed dripping with water, so he waved his hand with a calm face, which was regarded as a favor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jinli's heart moved, and she added: "Thank you Eighth Prince." ”
After saluting, she retreated to the side hall with the palace maid.
"No way!" Hua Qiong finally seized an opportunity to get rid of Gu Jinli, how could she be willing to give up, so her head was impulsive, and she didn't spare her: "Gu Jinxiu attempted to kill someone, you can't spare her!" Father......
"Enough!" The emperor scolded angrily, and his sharp eyes were like two cold swords, which startled Hua Qiong to shut up.
