The door of the room, which had been closed for two days, was opened from the outside, and Zhao Jingyi had a headache since the second half of last night, and then she lay on the low couch in front of the window, and then she barely fell asleep.

The palace maid who came in was wearing a pink and blue palace dress, her figure was petite, she squatted down, the food box in her hand was placed on the ground, and the other hand reached out and touched Zhao Jingyi's cold wrist, and whispered: "The slave maid sends food to Concubine Jing's mother......"

Zhao Jingyi didn't even bother to move her hand, she hadn't eaten water and rice for two days, and she could still stay awake while being weak, and the palace maid opened the food box, which contained two dishes and a bowl of rice.

From the degree of mixing, this is the so-called leftovers.

Zhao Jingyi let the other party pick up the rice bowl with an expressionless face, fed it one bite at a time, and then ate numbly, and her actions made the palace maid smile in surprise.

However, she was happy a little early.

"Hmm...... ...... vomit"

I just vomited out all the food I had just eaten, Zhao Jingyi always liked to fast and chant for the past two years, and her stomach was tormented, and she naturally couldn't stand eating this cold rice, she slowly fell to the side, the palace maid was so frightened that she rushed over to help her, screaming in her mouth, but Zhao Jingyi felt more comfortable, pinched her hand and moved, panting lightly, "Help me to lie down." ”

The interior and exterior are actually similar, because there is no light in the room, and it is gloomy and dim.

Covered with a cold quilt, Zhao Jingyi sneered, this is the inner courtyard of the deep palace, some people are full of flowers, and some people are scattered into mud.

"Mother? Do you hear the slave and maid speak? The palace maid who delivered the meal put away the food box, cleaned up the floor for her in the outer room, and talked to her at the same time, "The slave maid hopes that you can cheer up, you can't do this without eating or moving...... Now I vomited again......"

"You go to sleep first, and the slave maid will go and ask the steward of the Shangshan Bureau to help make a bowl of broth...... I'll send it to you later. ”

babbled a few more words, but Zhao Jingyi didn't listen carefully, she was dizzy and groggy...... was awakened by the crying in her ears, her head suddenly hurt, there was still some fishy smell in her mouth, and she couldn't help but vomit and vomit all over her body, and she helped her palace maid to help her breathe, Zhao Jingyi vaguely saw her holding a bowl of soup, but the smell was by no means broth.

"Mother."

Suoqiao entered the house with things, and then avoided Brother Zhan, who was learning to walk, and went to Shen Tingnian, who was watering the bluegrass in front of the window, and whispered the news that Concubine Jing was dead.

Shen Tingnian was stunned, so fast-"Caught that palace maid?" Can anyone judge who instructed ......?"

"The palace maid's name is Liu'er, she is a person from Ci'an Palace, the queen mother has never gotten up since she fell that day, and the queen led people to serve the sick over there, and she was embarrassed when she heard the news."

As soon as Concubine Jing died, the mastermind of Brother Zhan'er's abduction was a foregone conclusion.

Shen Tingnian looked at the green and shiny bluegrass leaves under her hand, she was a little hesitant, giving death to Concubine Jing should have been something she had done by herself, who would do it so quickly and weigh her heart like this?

Is someone helping her, or is someone eager to get rid of Concubine Jing?

"What's going on with Concubine Chen? Still refusing to recruit? Shen Tingnian deceived Zhao Jingyi with the scene of his fake death, but Concubine Chen didn't believe it easily, and after the emperor returned to the palace, she was still very calm.

"Since the emperor ordered them to be locked up in the violent room and interrogated one by one, only Wu Jieyu recruited them, Chen Concubine and He Guiren pretended to be stupid and didn't speak, and the other would only cry ......"

Wu Jieyu should have been frightened by Shen Tingnian's funeral, not only did she send the news to Zheng Wanghai, but also said that the existence of this secret path was told to her by He Guiren, but how He Guiren knew that the secret passage was dug under the Lantang Palace, she didn't know.

But He Guiren refused to admit it, crying and begging to cry out for injustice, saying that Wu Jieyu was jealous of her and framed her...... The two insisted on their own words, slandered each other, and completely forgot the love of visiting the garden hand in hand at the beginning of entering the palace.

Shen Tingnian was not interested in their mutual climbing, she just wanted to pry open Concubine Chen's mouth. Although Concubine Jing only mentioned it a little, Shen Tingnian had a hunch that Concubine Chen must know a greater secret.

If you have been a chess piece for a long time, you may have become a chess player instead. Sometimes in addition to the mastermind, there are also accomplices, Concubine Jing may not want to move Yan Xitang at the beginning, the most important thing in the palace is to fan the flames, and she has always felt that person is Concubine Chen.

After the queen reported the news of Concubine Jing's death by drinking arsenic to the emperor, a holy decree was issued on the second day of the sixth palace of Xiaoyu.

The emperor's eldest son was kidnapped by bandits on the first birthday banquet, and the mastermind behind the investigation was given the death of Concubine Jing, Wu Jieyu deposed her identity and imprisoned Yongxiang for life, and Zheng Wanghai was beheaded all over the house.

This should be the most severe punishment made since Pu Yangxu took power, and the ministers were shocked, but after knowing the inside story of the emperor's heir, no one dared to rashly write a letter to intercede.

Everyone was watching the reaction of the Zhao family, and after waiting for a few days, they found that Zhao Xiang only went to the fold once to ask for guilt, and when others asked him, he also said that the Zhao family had no way to teach, and the emperor punished him like this, and he had no objection.

Zheng Wanghai himself has not yet been arrested, but his home in Zephyr City has been raided, and more than a dozen people have been imprisoned, and at the latest, he will be beheaded after the autumn. And Zheng Wanghai will not be arrested for a day, and he will not know why this person wants to kidnap the prince.

On this day, Pu Yangxu returned to the palace from outside, and walked in a hurry, his face was not good-looking, Chen Luo greeted him into the Qinzheng Palace, thinking that he was going to Yanxi Hall after a little freshening and changing, but Puyangxu called Qian Tian to follow, and hurriedly walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.

The sound of the door opening was loud, echoing through the dark passages, a dark dungeon.

The walls of the aisles are lit with oil lamps, which flicker and flicker as the figures shake, and the shadows reflected on the walls are ghostly.

On the iron and stone frame hung a man, and by the shape of his body, he knew that it was a woman.

"I heard that you want to see me." Pu Yangxu was covered with a black coat, walked over, and said, "I'd rather die than say it, but it's hard bones." ”

The secret guard who followed Pu Yangxu in untied Chen Yuyi's hand at the signal, and then without warning, let people fall from mid-air to the ground, and the whole person rolled over.

Underneath him was a cold, hard ground, cold, and his face burned like fire when he smashed on the ground.

Chen Yuyi covered his face and raised his head on the ground, and asked directly, "You finally want to see me." ”

Pu Yangxu squinted, "Zhao Jingyi is not kind to you, this is how you repay her?" ”

It doesn't matter if Zhao Jingyi lives or dies, but he hasn't even had time to explain this matter to the Zhao family, and the person died first, which made him very unhappy.

"Kill her...... The meaning of the Queen Mother. Chen Yuyi moved slowly, but as soon as she moved, Pu Yangxu took a step, and even avoided the hem of her clothes as if she were contaminated.

"Do you think I will believe it, is it also the intention of the Queen Mother to collude with bandits to kidnap the little prince?"

Chen Yuyi shook his head, "It's me...... But I'm not doing this for myself. ”

"I'm for the emperor."

"Ridiculous!" Pu Yangxu couldn't listen anymore, he turned around, "Since you have no intention of repenting, you will go crazy to death in this dark day!" ”

He thinks Chen Yuyi is a crazy person, in fact, she herself thinks she is crazy, she knows that he won't believe the truth, but she wants her to lie, is the world ridiculous, or are they too ridiculous?

"Wait-" Chen Yuyi knelt and climbed a few steps again, and came to the front of Pu Yangxu, she tried her best to look up into his eyes, Pu Yangxu's eyes were as dark and cold as a deep pool of black jade, she looked at him without blinking, "Everyone has weaknesses and dead holes in their hearts that can be exploited, Your Majesty, if the Chen family is wiped out because of me, and more than 100 people are killed, how can I bear it?" Sometimes, even if you know that it is a trap and kill, there is only one way to go, but you can only sacrifice your body, do you know that kind of despair? ”

There was a slight tremor of fear in her voice, Pu Yangxu frowned, the corners of her lips pursed, and her voice was even colder, "They said, you have been tortured for the past few days and refuse to tell the truth, I have no time to waste." ”

After speaking, Pu Yangxu turned his head sideways and ordered, "Let them in." ”

Chen Yuyi's face turned pale, and he called, "Your Majesty, what I said is the truth, you believe me......"

It was the torturers who had been serving her for the past few days, and unlike the previous whipping and cane scolding, this time they had several trays of blades of various sizes and thicknesses, each of which was glowing with a dim cold light.

"This torture with a thousand knives is a punishment that I specially let the officials eliminate after I ascended the throne." Pu Yangxu took a few steps back and snorted coldly.

Chen Yuyi said in horror, "Don't, the emperor ......"

She knew that anyone could use some words to intimidate and extract a confession, but only the person in front of him would not, he didn't bother to waste time, and when Chrysostom opened, he never retorted.

No one can stand the punishment of deboning, Chen Yuyi closed his eyes in despair, bit his lip, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Tingnian had been flipping through his treasury booklet for several days, and it was also a headache to find something that was better but not very valuable than anyone dared to receive, "Yuezhu, Suoqiao, what do you say you want to give them three rewards?" It's best not to be too ostentatious, for fear that they won't be able to hold it down at a young age. ”

"Niangniang, Xiao Youchun, didn't they say that they shouldn't be rewarded? The emperor has already rewarded each of their families with fields and several house deeds, especially Xu Ruoxian's family, and also promoted her uncle to two levels. ”

Although he is still a magistrate, there is still a difference between a small sesame official becoming a big sesame official.

"I've rewarded it, and there's no reason why they don't want it."

It's also very domineering.

When a few people were discussing, Xiu'er poked her head out at the door, Yuezhu saw it at a glance, so she quietly gestured to her and told her to wait for a while, Shen Tingnian inadvertently looked up and saw it, took their expressions in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "What is Xiu'er doing?" I have something to find you, Sister Yuezhu, why don't you tell me? ”

Xiu'er immediately cramped her hands and feet didn't know how to put them, and came in to greet Shen Tingnian, her voice was softer than a mosquito: "It's the slave who can't make up her mind about something, so she wants to ask Sister Yuezhu first." ”

Shen Tingnian was just the time to rejoice in them, so he naturally didn't care about her unruly places, "I'm just about to find a reward for you, what do you want, just say it." ”

These little girls are cautious on their faces, and their ideas in their hearts are bigger than the other, and the Xiu'er in front of her is also a must, and when she rolls her eyes, even she can't tell whether it is true or false, this is probably a natural skill.
