Chapter 51: Punishment
Finished!
This was Jian Xiaozhu's first thought.
Even with the help of Bai Ningshuang, fortunately he can escape the fate of marrying far away and being a concubine in a foreign country, but he will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the empress dowager in the future.
What's more, it would be difficult to refuse Bai Ningshuang's request to match her and Zhu Yan after that.
Although, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with marrying Zhu Yan......
Thinking of Zhu Yan's handsome face that was more beautiful than a woman, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that if the two were really matched, she would still earn it.
It's just that it's hard to say whether Zhu Yan will like her. After all, Zhu Yan is unwilling to go on a blind date with a beautiful woman like Zhang Ruohe, and matching himself and Zhu Yan is probably wishful thinking on the part of Bai Ningshuang.
What's more, Zhu Yan himself was not only innocent with Concubine Xiao, but also cuckolded his brother-in-law. Moreover, in the novel, he is still a little villain who owes a lot of romantic debts and finally receives a bento.
Jian Xiaozhu sighed: "Alas, it's too difficult......"
But on the side, Bai Ningshuang said: "Don't worry, if the Empress Dowager blames her, I will ask the emperor to intercede." What's more, the six princes won't be unhappy with me for a palace maid. ”
Hearing Bai Ningshuang's words, Jian Xiaozhu felt a little relieved, and then said, "Guifei Niangniang, your great kindness, the slave and maid will always remember it in their hearts." ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Ningshuang said softly: "Don't thank me, after all, Biyu is gone, and I need someone by my side who can be trusted." I can see that you really don't want to marry the Sixth Prince. You don't value glory and wealth, but are willing to disobey the Empress Dowager's marriage for the sake of Ayan. So I'll help you anyway. ”
Hearing Bai Ningshuang's words, Jian Xiaozhu was full of black lines. After all, she is not here to resist marriage, and she is not a person who does not value glory and wealth. It's just that as a modern woman, she accepts the concept that prosperity and wealth must be earned by working with her own hands, rather than marrying away to be someone else's little wife.
Before Bai Ningshuang went to find Murong You, Murong You came to the Condensing Frost Palace first.
Bai Ningshuang, who was still nervous in her heart, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Murong You, but she still took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Murong You's eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine has disobeyed the will of the Empress Dowager and is willing to be punished." ”
Murong You hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Ningshuang get up: "I know that you are affectionate and righteous, how can I punish you?" Just ......"
Murong You looked coldly at Jian Xiaozhu, who was kneeling behind Bai Ningshuang: "This palace maid boldly resisted the decree, naturally she will be punished." ”
Jian Xiaozhu was frightened, and quickly kowtowed: "The emperor spares his life." ”
Seeing this, Bai Ningshuang also explained to Murong You: "Your Majesty, the concubine has never told you that Yunzhu has already secretly promised the concubine's cousin Zhu Yanfang that the two are in love, and the concubine has already planned to fulfill them." Therefore, the concubine had the courage to let Gonggong Xu tell the imperial grandmother about the matter, hoping that the imperial grandmother could be an adult. ”
After that, Bai Ningshuang added: "After all, the concubine is left with Ayan's relatives." ”
When Murong You heard this, he sighed in embarrassment: "It's okay." I have already told Yuan Heng about this matter, but he can see it and is willing to be an adult. It's just that the emperor's grandmother wants to ask for an explanation, so the palace maid Zhang Yunzhu disobeys Yi's will, and the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is inescapable. For the sake of her being your personal maid of the concubine, let's pull it down and hit the twenty boards. ”
When Jian Xiaozhu heard Murong You's words, her mind instantly appeared in the TV series, those palace maids were so frightened that they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, if the twenty boards go down, the slaves and maids will die." ”
"yes." Bai Ningshuang echoed: "Yunzhu is a girl's family, how can she withstand the twenty big boards." Biyu is dead, and the concubine doesn't want to lose Yunzhu anymore. ”
Murong Yu looked at Jian Xiaozhu with a gloomy expression: "Then the ten boards, there can't be any less, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the imperial grandmother." ”
Thinking that the top ten boards would not be killed, and Murong You's side obviously would not give in anymore. So Bai Ningshuang kowtowed: "Thank the emperor." ”
Seeing that Bai Ningshuang said this, Jian Xiaozhu also kowtowed: "Thank the emperor for sparing his life!" ”
At Murong You's behest, a guard walked into the Condensing Frost Palace and said to Jian Xiaozhu, "Palace maid Zhang Yunzhu, please come with me to the Internal Affairs Mansion to get the board." ”
Jian Xiaozhu walked out of the Frost Palace with him, and when he walked to the door, his legs were unstable because of weakness, and he fell to the ground. Behind him, there was an exclamation from Bai Ningshuang, and Murong You said to Bai Ningshuang in a gentle tone: "Concubine, don't worry, the top ten boards, you can cultivate for a few days at most, you can't die." ”
Hearing Murong You's words, Jian Xiaozhu, who was facing away from him, rolled his eyes, even if he couldn't die, he would be useless!
Walking into the Internal Affairs Mansion, Jian Xiaozhu was asked to lie on the bench. It's just that at the moment when he lay down, Jian Xiaozhu saw that the guard with a thin bamboo board was called to the door, and someone seemed to have said something to him outside the door. I saw that he was surprised at first, then nodded, and walked out. At the same time, a grim-eyed guard took the bamboo board and walked in.
After the guard walked in, he put the thin bamboo board aside, and instead picked up a thicker board made of wattle sticks, and walked to Jian Xiaozhu's side coldly. Jian Xiaozhu intuitively felt that something must have happened, so he asked, "Why did you change people, and even the board was changed?" ”
But instead of answering her, the guard lifted the board and struck her in the back. Jian Xiaozhu wanted to struggle to get up, but her body was held down by the other two palace maids and she couldn't move. The thick wooden board fell on Jian Xiaozhu's body with strong force, and the pain of the bones about to shatter made Jian Xiaozhu's brain go blank in an instant, and the extreme pain made her cry out.
It hurts, this is a pain that Jian Xiaozhu has never felt. She could feel that this guard must have used all his strength, not only did he show no mercy, but even wanted to kill her. If it goes on like this, let alone staying up until ten boards are finished, maybe three more boards, and her life will be gone.
I didn't expect that in the end, I would die in this world in such a painful way. It's just that who wants to kill her?
As the second board went down, Jian Xiaozhu was in severe pain and could no longer think.
There was already a blur in his eyes, and Jian Xiaozhu only felt that his back hurt to the extreme, and he was gradually numb. Although, very unwilling, however, no one can save her.
Overhead, the scythe-like plank of death lifted up toward her again. Jian Xiaozhu was already powerless to struggle, so she could only close her eyes......
However, in such a desperate situation, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Stop!"
