The screams and screams in the torture chamber of the inner palace have been repeated recently, and it makes people's hearts chill to hear. Yun Zhaorong never knew that he had fallen into a trap, and for the sake of Emperor Yuan's discretion, he sold Qi Mansion and Yun Mansion cleanly. Tao Yao couldn't stand the punishment and died early.

Qiu Rong, the palace maid who poured the pulp from the Scholar's Division, and Ah Qi, the chamberlain who sent swill, went to half their lives, and they also recruited thoroughly. Emperor Yuan threw confessions on Qi Xing's face, and since the beginning of the dynasty, the Qi family has never suffered such humiliation.

But cunning is Qi Xing's strength, and he is very good at stabbing someone in the back, and several sophistries have pushed all the charges to Yunfu.

But because of this incident, the vitality was greatly damaged, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Emperor Yuan handed over the punishment to Yu Cheng. Seeing that the wind made the rudder, the people had the intention of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and their power was greatly reduced for a while. Qi Xing looked at it sadly, but he could only endure it silently, and couldn't help but hate Yu Zhao even more.

The bloody smell of the torture room was permeated, and Yun Zhaorong was dying and hung on the torture rack. With a sigh of relief, she waited for the people of Qi Mansion Yunfu to come and save her. I never thought that Yu Zhao would descend to this dark place in person, and he struggled to see the faces of the people who came, and roared with all his might: "Slut! When I get out, I'm going to kill you!" ”

The chains rattled with his struggles, unkempt and screaming and invective, and he was in a state of madness.

Yu Zhao looked at the bloodstained torture instrument in the torture room with interest, and looked at her incorrectly. "This palace will take you out today to see if you have the ability to kill me."

Yun Zhaorong instantly stared at her with wide eyes. "What do you want to do, if you treat me well, neither the Qi family nor the Yun family will let you go."

The threat was met with a contemptuous snort. "You trust Qi Xing like this, and put all the charges on your family, Your Majesty has issued an order to punish the three clans of the Yun clan." Yu Zhao's tone was flat, and he picked up the soldering iron next to him and gestured. "Before you die, tell you to make you blind."

"I don't believe it!" Although her words were tough, her heart was flustered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Yu Zhao turned around and ordered the people standing next to him to lower Yun Zhaorong from the torture rack and drag him to the open space outside.

In the open space, the harem concubines stood in a line, and Zhuo Yao moved a chair to help Yu Zhao sit down.

People related to this matter were all brought out, knelt in a row, most of them swallowed carbon, and begged for mercy inarticulately, Yun Zhaorong was held down, his face was on the ground and he was still scolding: "Little slut, what are you?" This palace is the cousin of the former queen, and I entered the palace with her to serve Your Majesty, and I dare to raise my sister-in-law beyond me, and this palace will not let you go. ”

Yu Zhao listened, his face did not change at all, and he took a sip of tea slowly. opened his mouth and said to the concubines behind: "Although the palace is young, I have to teach you another lesson here today. Why does Your Majesty trust me so much? Just because the palace can divide the relationship between the harem and the previous dynasty, the idea of protecting the mother clan is understandable, but if you rely on the power of the mother clan to do evil in the palace, this is the end. You all keep your eyes open and watch well. If you have any bad intentions towards the prince in the future, think about this scene today. ”

Raise your head to the person next to you. "Execution."

Immediately someone came up and pulled up the hair of the man lying on the ground and poured medicine into it. If you take a closer look, it is the poison that Chu Ziyi was in that day. After a while, it was all poured down, and some people who tried to survive quickly grabbed their throats and wanted to vomit. I don't want to be pulled up again, so I pour a poison that can increase the effect of the poison.

Immediately, the patches of erythrophy that emerged from those people's bodies became more and more serious, and blood gradually oozed out, and there was a wail. Someone else took a bucket and threw it on it.

Suddenly frightened, the concubines screamed again and again, and the things that were splashed on them were wriggling leeches. Stained with the body, and smelled the smell of blood, he drilled straight into the wound, greedily sucking the blood. Seeing this scene, Yu Zhao was stunned in his heart, thinking of Chu Ziyi's painful appearance that day, he had the courage to force himself to open his eyes.

The field was silent, no one dared to speak, and a few timid people fainted. Zhuo Yao ordered people to come up and carry them away, and none of the rest who were not faint were allowed to leave, and they were forced to look at this terrible scene, all of them pale.

I don't know how long it took, but as the last terrible wail fell, Yun Zhaorong lost his breath. Yu Zhao asked without looking back, "Concubine Li, have you learned?"

Concubine Li has been quiet in the palace for many days, and she has always heard that Concubine Chen is powerful, and she still doesn't believe it when she comes out to see that she is a white and pure little girl. Who knew that Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen, who were arrogant and domineering in the past, were obedient. also watched cautiously, and now that she saw this method with her own eyes, she only felt a chill sweeping over her body, and when she heard her point to herself, she hurriedly saluted and replied: "The concubine knows, and she doesn't dare to have bad intentions." ”

Yu Zhao nodded, then waved his hand to let everyone go. With permission, they all hurried out of the courtyard as if fleeing for their lives, and Concubine Liu clutched her chest and kept chanting: "Amitabha...... It's scary......"

Concubine Shen's face was not good-looking, and suddenly saw Concubine Feng, who had always been taciturn, her face was as usual, and she said strangely: "You have always been a weak person, but you are not afraid?" ”

Concubine Feng plucked the rosary and replied calmly: "There are no ghosts in my heart, so why be afraid." ”

Shen Concubine snorted disdainfully and parted ways with everyone.

When the people dispersed, Zhuo Yao secretly lowered his voice and told Yu Zhao. "The last interrogation, Yun Zhaorong's personal palace maid recruited that Qi Xing had the content of the conversation with Lord Yu when the provincial relatives returned to the house, so he hurriedly urged Yun Zhaorong to poison the Fifth Highness."

Is it like this? Yu Zhao thought carefully in his mind, he and Yu Cheng met in the morning, Yun Zhaorong met Chu Ziyi at lunchtime, why did the news spread so quickly.

Suddenly, a bold speculation appeared in his mind, Yu Zhao couldn't believe it, but other than that, I was afraid that no one had such a ability. After being slightly surprised, Yu Zhao smiled secretly in his heart, Yu Cheng, Yu Cheng, I'm afraid your backyard is on fire.

After carefully maintaining it for nearly half a month, Chu Ziyi regained his former liveliness and began to laugh again. It may be that it hurts, and it has learned a lesson, and it is not as abrasive and naughty as before. Yu Zhao still felt guilty in his heart, and became more and more vigilant after that.

As she grew up, Chu Ziyi's mother's cry was sweet, and she began to distinguish between joy, anger and sorrow. One of the big wolfdogs gave birth, but the big dog didn't make it through. Chu Ziyi got the news, sat on the stone steps and hugged the puppy and cried, and persuaded for a long time to no avail. It wasn't until Chu Zikai brought a rabbit that he choked and went to the kitchen to get a cabbage to feed, and gradually stopped crying.

Suddenly, seeing Chu Zikai also handing him something, Yu Zhao raised his head, it was a delicate bow. "This bowstring is flexible and light, not easy to hurt your hands, and you can play with it in the near future."

"Not available." Yu Zhao refused, looking at Chu Ziyi, who was feeding the rabbits. "You have to look at Ziyi."

Chu Zikai persuaded: "You raised him too squeamish, it's not good." As he spoke, he put it down on his own, sat down next to her, and asked her again, "Do you want to learn to ride a horse?" ”

Yu Zhao was indeed interested, but still shook his head.

Chu Zikai said: "Then it's decided, I'll go and mention to my father that he will go to the horse farm to practice the day after tomorrow, and you can come with me." After saying that, he pulled his legs and went to the imperial study.

"......" looked at his back, Yu Zhao didn't take it to heart, and was sure that Emperor Yuan would not force himself to learn.

Lunchtime

Emperor Yuan talked loudly in Chaohui Palace.

"The prince's proposal is very good, it is really useless to only learn archery, not to learn to ride a horse. It's decided in this way, you follow him to study hard, and when the time comes, I will show my hand when I hunt, and I will be very face-saving. ”

Yu Zhao is now convinced that thick skin is probably hereditary.

The next day, I got a lot of light clothes with sleeves, took off the wide-sleeved clothes, Jin Yubu shook them off, and put them on this dress, as if taking off the shackles, making people open their bodies and feel very free. came to the horse farm with Emperor Yuan, but saw that Chu Ziyang and Yu Zhu were also there.

Yu Zhu sat on the horse, and Chu Ziyang was teaching. Yu Zhao had never seen her smile so happily. Seeing that a few people from this side were coming, and were about to come to salute, Emperor Yuan waved his hand to stop. "Ride your own, don't pay attention to me."

It is rare to see a lover finally married in the Gaomen Palace, and Yu Zhao smiled gratefully at Yu Zhao at this moment. Happy for her in his heart, Yu Zhao also nodded in response.

After waiting for a while, Chu Zikai came on horseback, and when he saw Yu Zhao in light clothes, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Emperor Yuan instructed him to take Yu Zhao over slowly, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he led people to the more open field.

Chu Zikai asked Yu Zhao to wait, and he didn't know where to run, so he brought a very docile dragon horse and helped her up.

Began to lead her to get used to it, and told her how to hold the rope, Yu Zhao learned the essentials after a while, and tried to make the horse trot, Chu Zikai saw this and hurriedly got on the horse to keep up, and guarded beside him.

Suddenly hearing the crisp sound of the bell, Yu Zhao looked over and saw that what Chu Zikai was holding in his hand was his own bell, and he was about to open his mouth to return. Chu Zikai took the first step to hold her hand and wanted to bring it to her.

Yu Zhao is not familiar with riding skills now, he doesn't dare to let go of the reins, he is holding hands, and he doesn't dare to struggle, and the bell is not tied with a red rope, but it is replaced with a bracelet with a beautiful pattern, and it takes some strength to put it in. Except for Yu Lu, it was the first time that Yu Zhao's hand was held tightly by someone else. Chu Zikai's palms were warm, so warm that people felt very comfortable. Yu Zhao's hands were slightly cold all year round, but at the moment he was nervous and all cold sweat, and when the bell was brought up, he quickly broke free and wiped it on his clothes.

"You hate me like that?"

In fact, I knew in my heart that she was nervous, and she still wanted to tease her on purpose.

Yu Zhao recovered his face as usual as soon as possible, and only replied: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." "Pull up the reins and go forward, trying to get to the place where there are people as quickly as possible. I was guided by Chu Zikai all the way, and I had already learned well by then, and I wanted to give Emperor Yuan an errand. Unexpectedly, he rode his horse and ran happily, as if he was very happy, and the guards who followed behind him were a little helpless, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. Yu Zhao's expression was subtle, dignified, and he was indeed like an old naughty boy when he played.

I didn't want to disturb his interest, and walked to the shed next to him to rest. It just so happened that Chu Ziyang Yu Zhu also came over at this time, and seeing Yu Zhao beside her, Yu Zhu hurriedly came over to talk to her. "Concubine Chen, Your Royal Highness was poisoned and killed that day, is there a big problem?"

"It's already done." Yu Zhao replied, seeing that Yu Zhu seemed to be much more cheerful than before, he praised: "You have changed a lot, this is very good." ”

Yu Zhu had a smile in her eyebrows, and looked at Chu Ziyang a little shyly, "I have to thank Niangniang for finding a lover for me." As he spoke, he took the kettle and teacup out of the basket. This is the milk tea I cooked, and I will try it. ”

When she handed it over, Yu Zhao was reaching out to pick it up, and suddenly saw a small snake falling from the tree behind Yu Zhu, because of the shadow left last time, although it was far away, he was still scared and his hands trembled. The tea in the cup was sprinkled but he didn't care about it, and pulled Yu Zhu and hurriedly retreated away.

The guards on the side hurriedly came over to clear the little snake when they heard the sound. Yu Zhu saw that her sleeves were all wet, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her sleeves with tea. also cared: "Recently, the weather has been getting warmer, and there are more snakes and insects, so Niangniang can use some herbs to avoid snakes and insects...... Carry the sachet, you can not be afraid. ”

Yu Zhao thanked and agreed, and when he saw that the bell on his wrist was still stained with some tea, he carefully wiped it clean with a silk scarf, and sighed silently.
