Chapter 8: Catching Rape in the Cold Palace
Yuan Ming crossed the palace guards and came to a deserted side courtyard, which was once the place where the emperor imprisoned the concubines who fell out of favor, after the death of the emperor, Yuan Qi ascended the throne, and all the concubines guarded the mausoleum, and some were expelled from the palace. The same goes for the concubines in the cold palace, in short, this place is idle.
Su Yingxue is the first concubine to be beaten into the cold palace since Yuan Qi ascended the throne.
Yuan Ming quietly walked to the outside of the cold palace, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he flew up, crossed the somewhat broken wall, and went to the dilapidated attic inside.
The moment Yuan Ming pushed the door open, he was immediately coughed violently by the musty smell inside, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. But in an instant, he lowered his hand, because the goddess in his heart was still inside, and he didn't have much time to adjust to the environment here.
"Cher, Cher, are you there? Are you alright? I'm Yuan Ming. ”
Yuan Ming shouted softly, but there was a deathly silence around him, he hurriedly lit a fire, but found that Su Yingxue was lying on the ground with bruises all over her body at this time, her face was already red and swollen, and she didn't have her original pretty and lovely appearance.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, wake up, wake up, how can the imperial brother be so cruel to you, it's just too hateful."
Yuan Ming clenched his hands into fists and made a gurgling sound, he couldn't get it, but the person who got it so easily didn't know how to cherish her. He called out twice, gritting his teeth.
Yuan Ming shouted for a long time, but found that Su Yingxue did not move, as if she was dead. He reached out to Su Yingxue's snort with trembling hands, and after a while, he often breathed a sigh of relief, but it was quickly replaced by a new worry, Su Yingxue did not die, but she had a high fever.
"What can I do? If the fever does not subside quickly, I am afraid that my life will be in danger. ”
Yuan Ming said to himself, looked around, and saw a dilapidated bed and a quilt, so he hurriedly walked over, planning to tidy it up and put Su Yingxue on the bed. Who knew that as soon as the quilt was lifted, a few mice ran down, accompanied by a musty smell, which is nothing, the most important thing is the quilt, there are traces of being bitten by mice.
"This can't be done, you can't let Xue'er sleep on such a quilt and bed, healthy people can't stand it, not to mention Xue'er is still injured, I have to find a quilt for Xue'er."
After Yuan Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Su Yingxue on the ground, took off his heavy coat, put Su Ying's small wings on it, turned around and threw himself into the night, quickly got out of the cold palace, and went to the "Splendid Pavilion" where Su Yingxue once lived.
After a stick of incense, Yuan Ming came back, holding a quilt and a mattress, and a bowl of medicine in his hand.
He cleaned the bed first, laid out the bedding, and then carefully picked up Su Ying from the ground, gently placed it on the bed like a ceramic doll, and fed the bowl of medicine to Su Yingxue.
wiped the wound on Su Yingxue's face with the ointment he specially brought.
Yuan Ming finished all this, looked around, but saw that both the seat and the ground were covered with a thick layer of dust, he frowned, walked outside the house, fetched a basin of water, and began to clean up.
Time flies, and busy people don't feel the speed of time.
As a prince, he rarely does physical work, but now he is a little tired after working all night, so he sat on Su Yingxue's bed, looked at Su Yingxue obsessively, and began to talk to himself:
"Xue'er, why did you insist on entering the palace back then? What exactly is the reason? Is it really because I love him? Is it worth it? He has so many women, he won't know how to cherish you at all, you have paid so much for him, but he doesn't even have the least trust in you, although this king doesn't know what happened? But if you say that you will kill his heirs, this king will never believe that you are such a kind and gentle woman. ”
Xu said that he was tired, Yuan Ming looked up at the sky outside, the ugly time had passed, and soon it was the time of Yin. Yuan Qi usually gets up at Yin Shi, and he must leave before Yuan Qi gets up.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ming touched Su Yingxue's forehead, the fever had subsided at this time, and he often breathed a sigh of relief. The wound ointment in his hand was gently placed next to Su Yingxue's pillow, after all, Su Yingxue was not only injured on her face, but also on her back. That's where he couldn't wipe her down. Although Yuan Ming likes Su Yingxue, Yuan Ming can't do anything that takes advantage of people's danger, because he doesn't want to blaspheme her.
At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao, who crossed into Su Yingxue, was having a sweet dream, dreaming that she was on a hot kang head, and her mother was stroking her forehead with her gentle big hand, so warm and comfortable, that she couldn't help but want to grab her mother's hand.
Just when Yuan Ming wanted to leave, the back of his hand was suddenly hugged by Su Yingxue, and then Su Yingxue muttered:
"Don't go, I love you so much, don't go, don't leave me alone."
Su Yingxue's dream cry made Yuan Ming's heart beat faster, and he sank into it, unable to extricate himself.
"Cher, Cher, are you telling the truth? So it was really my imperial brother who forced you back then, right? ”
Yuan Ming's voice was full of anger, and he couldn't help but ask.
But Su Yingxue just turned over, hugged the back of Yuan Ming's hand and fell asleep again.
Yuan Ming couldn't bear to pull out his arm, for fear of waking up Su Yingxue, so he could only keep convincing himself that if he stayed for a while, just for a while, it should be fine.
And Yuan Qi was really sleepy after reviewing the recital, so he fell asleep in the imperial study. Until the sky was bright, Yuan Qi woke up:
"Yunyou, Yunyou, what time is it?"
Hearing Yuan Qi's shout, the little eunuch Liu Wen walked in and said:
"Back to the emperor, it's time for the emperor."
Yuan Qi glanced up at Liu Wen and said:
"Change my clothes".
Then he asked with a hint of surprise: By the way, what about Yunyou? Isn't he supposed to be on duty all night today? ”
The little eunuch Liu Wen said while changing Yuan Qi's clothes:
"Back to the emperor, last night, there were two thefts in the palace, and Lord Yun took people to search the palaces."
"Theft? But what important things are missing? ”
Yuan Qi frowned, and asked incredulously, stealing in the palace is not a small crime, and ordinary people would not dare.
Therefore, it is rare to lose things in the palace, so Yuan Qi felt surprised, who is so bold.
"Back to the emperor, in fact, what was lost was not too important, I heard that last night the lady lady used to live in the "Splendid Pavilion", lost two quilts. There are also people in the Tai Hospital, who were all knocked unconscious last night, and there is just a little lack of medicinal materials. ”
Liu Wen reported according to the truth.
Yuan Qi asked and analyzed even more suspiciously: "This thief doesn't steal gold, silver and jewelry, but steals quilts and medicinal herbs?" It's a strange thing. Could it be someone who did it? He knew that Concubine Shuniang was beaten into the cold palace by me, and thought that no one lived in the "Splendid Pavilion", so he dared to act recklessly? As for stealing herbs because you are sick? ”
"Emperor Shengming, Lord Xu Yun also thinks so, and is investigating where people live, and I believe that the results will come soon."
Just as Yuan Qi and Liu Wen were talking, a coquettish voice came from outside:
"Your Majesty, are you awake? The concubine has something important to report and asks to see the emperor. ”
Yuan Qi nodded at Liu Wen, and Liu Wen walked out with understanding, and after a while, he saw a person walking in.
This person was wearing a snow-white fox fur jacket, red lips like blood, delicate facial features, as if out of a painting, his eyes flashed, and he slowly walked towards Yuan Qi.
"Concubine Ai's body hasn't healed yet, why did she get out of bed?"
Yuan Qi hurriedly stepped forward, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, the concubines were entrusted by others to come and confirm something to the emperor."
"Who is entrusted by the concubine? And I asked me what was the matter? ”
Yuan Qi stopped Mu Lingdi's waist with his hand and asked softly.
"Just now, there was news from the concierge that King Xiaoyao has not left the palace since he went to the banquet last night. They didn't dare to disturb the emperor, and the concubines wanted to ask the emperor, but he was discussing with the emperor? ”
Mu Lingdi knew that Yuan Ming was not there, but he deliberately asked in a rhetorical tone.
Yuan Qi's eyes were as gentle as water, and he instantly became cold, and a cold murderous aura overflowed from his body, and he pushed away the Mu Ling Disc that was nestled on him, and said coldly: "Liu Wen, send Concubine Zhen back, I have something to deal with." ”
"The concubine retires!"
Mu Lingdi's purpose was achieved, so he gave Yuan Qi a salute with interest, and without saying anything, he withdrew from the imperial study.
Watching Mu Lingdi disappear into the imperial study, the flames of anger burned in Yuan Qi's chest, burning all his sanity, if Yuan Ming really didn't leave all night, then he could only go to one place, and that was the cold palace where Su Yingxue was.
In this way, if you lose the quilt and medicine last night, you have a reasonable explanation, it must have been stolen by Yuan Ming to Su Yingxue. This night the lonely man and the woman were in the same room, what did they do?
Yuan Qi's nails sank into the flesh, and he said to himself, damn slut, if you dare to cuckold me, I won't spare you.
"Touch," after the sound of a teacup breaking, the earth-shattering roar also resounded throughout the imperial study at the same time:
"Come on, let Yunyou withdraw all the people who are tracked down, and come to see me immediately."
"Yes".
One of the guards came in and saw a fragment of the ground, and did not dare to delay for any time, and took the order.
Yunyou received the order, trotted all the way to the imperial study, and saw Yuan Qi with a gloomy face, standing there, with fragments on the ground, his heart was uneasy, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:
"The emperor is angry, it is not good to do things in a lowly position, let the thieves enter the palace, please give the lowly time, the lowly position will definitely find out the thieves, and this matter will not happen again."
"No need ......"
Yuan Qi hadn't finished speaking, Yun You thought that Yuan Qi was planning to punish him, and said with a bang:
"Ask the emperor to spare his life, give the lowly generals a chance to make up for their mistakes, and ask the emperor to spare his ......life."
Yuan Qi was upset, kicked Yunyou and said:
"Get up, I mean, don't check, you immediately take a few people with a more strict tone and follow me to the cold palace."
"Cold Palace? Where does the lady live? ”
Yun You looked confused, not understanding this early in the morning. Why did the emperor go to the cold palace? Aren't you planning to come back to Concubine Xing?
No one gave Yun You a solution, and he didn't dare to ask, seeing Yuan Qi walking out of the imperial study, Yun You called a few people, and then followed.
