Chapter 6: Shame and self-judgment
Yun Ying continued: "The person who monitored the Fifth Master reported that she didn't tell the Fifth Master too much about you, and it is strange to say that the Fifth Master asked mostly about your preferences. It's that the eighth master has been using her to find out something from you. ”
Butterfly Ying looked at the three of them and asked me, "Master, what to do now, you have to have an idea." ”
I thought, I thought, what should I do? How to fool this matter with Kangxi Ye, and what should I do with Lan Qi's matter? Why did the prince kill me? Why did the eighth master kill me? Kangxiye ...... What does that mean exactly?
After secretly making a decision, I spoke: "Those waist cards, keep them safe, you can't make any mistakes, they may be useful in the future." As for Lanki, which of you is going to bring her to me now. ”
Liu Ying volunteered: "Go down." ”
Soon, Liu Ying took Lan Qi back to the secret room, and I asked him, "No one has seen it?" ”
"Don't worry, master."
Lan Qi had already woken up, and knelt on the ground with her eyes open in horror, and I motioned for Liu Ying to pull out the lump of cloth that was blocked in her mouth, and Lan Qi opened her mouth and shouted, "Gege! Gege, what are you going to do? ”
I bent down, put my finger on her lips, and said, "Quiet, it's not good for your health to have such a big mood swing, you just had a miscarriage." You and the eighth master's child, gone. ”
She shook her head in horror: "Gege, Gege spare your life." Gege spares his life! ”
"Silly boy, spare your life? What have you done to ask me to spare my life? ”
"Gege, the slave is wrong. The slave and the maid should not hide it from Gege, Gege should spare the slave and the maid. She cried.
I shook my head and said, "Hide it from me? What are you hiding from me? Are you hiding it from me, you and the fifth master? Or are you hiding it from me, you have an affair with the eighth master? Or is it a betrayal of Bengege? ”
She was just about to quibble, when I asked softly, "Where is Bengege sorry for you?" You have followed me on the grassland for forty-six years, and I have been worthy of you for these two years! You sold your master's life? Sold to the eighth master? Why, do you still expect him to become the emperor and make you a concubine in the future? ”
"Gege, Gege, slave is wrong! Slave I'm sorry for you! It's the eighth master, the eighth master said that he would make the slave and maid a concubine in the future, and the slave and maid were obsessed with their hearts, so they betrayed Gege! Forgive the slave! ”
"Humph! Named you a concubine? You don't want to know what your background is? Do you deserve it? You are a woman from the family of the five banners of the Han Army, a concubine? What is the surname of the concubine? Which one is not the grid of the three flags? Why are you so stupid? Not to mention that he Babel Ye didn't plan to let you return to the capital alive at all. Even if he does ascend the throne, do you think you can live to be a concubine? The Fu Jin of his family is the Gege of Guo Luoluo's family! That's the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le! My voice was low and soft, and it was especially cold in this dark secret room. Lan Qi kowtowed and cried, "Gege, Gege! The slave is wrong! The slave is wrong! ”
"Shut up!" I said angrily: "I still thought that I would pick a good person for you to marry, although it is not as beautiful as the family of the prince and grandson, but to be a main room, I will not live too wronged with my support." You're good! Can't wait to hook up with this, hook up with that! Can you become a phoenix when you fly on a branch? Isn't the eighth master's mother, Concubine Liang, a living example? ”
Lan Qi slammed her head on the ground, crying and saying, "Gege, the slave is wrong. Forgive the slave this time! ”
"Want me to forgive you? Okay, tell me, what have you been looking for in my room for more than a year? ”
"Gege, it's the eighth master, the eighth master asked me to turn it. He asked me to find something special, a jade pendant or something I could take with me. But the pattern should be very special. She cried out, "Gege, Gege! Please, it's all the eighth master who deceived the slaves! The slave is wrong! Forgive me! ”
I pinched her chin, forced her to look me in the eye, and said to her tenderly, "Forgive you? I can forgive you for coveting glory and riches, but why do you say I should forgive you for being unfaithful to your character? If you just have an affair with the eighth master, it's a big deal that I will give up this face, promise you to him, and let him accept you. But you betrayed me, and did not guard your master and me when I was seriously ill! The last time I vomited blood and fell into a coma, you weren't in the hospital when I woke up. How many days have you taken care of me for more than a year? Lanqi, do you know that some minions can be forgiven for betrayal, and some cannot. If you were coerced, I will forgive you. But you betrayed your master for your own selfishness. A minion like you must die! ”
"Gege don't want it, Gege don't want it! Gege, spare the slave and maid! Gege, please spare the slaves! Lan Qi's head was bloody, but I didn't have a trace of sympathy in my heart.
I slapped her hard with a "snap", walked to the table and sat down, and said to Liu Ying: "Liu Ying, Lan Qi had an affair with someone, unfortunately miscarried, and was ashamed to cut herself. ”
Liu Ying nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, master!" The subordinates will make it seamless! ”
"Check, what the hell is the eighth master looking for. What is the idea of the prince...... As for the Emperor...... I don't believe he's going to kill me, check it out! Is it someone who bought those forbidden troops, or is it ......" I bit my lip and stabilized my mood before continuing: "Huang Ama won't kill me!" Go ahead, I'm going to sleep too......"
Early the next morning, Lan Yue had just finished combing my hair when I heard the screams of the little maid who had been sent to bring breakfast to Lan Qi. I hurriedly asked Lan Yue to take a look, and Lan Yue came back to me after a while and said, "Master, Lan Qi is hanging from the beam in the room." ”
I already knew this result, but when Lan Yue told me, my mind came back to forty-six years when I looked up and saw Lan Qi and Si Ling coming over with medicine, and she has been following me ever since, except for more than a year that I don't remember, she has also followed me for two years......
After two years of getting along day and night, I finally sentenced her to death......
Tears welled up in my eyes, and Lan Yue hurriedly handed the silk handkerchief to me: "Gege, don't cry!" ”
I didn't wipe my tears, my hands clutched the silk handkerchief, I gritted my teeth, and reluctantly said, "Notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, notify her family." Let's just say that I was overly frightened yesterday and died violently. Let Zhang Lao bury her well, send some money to her family, how much to send, you can see what to do. It's all done, tell me. Go ahead. ”
After Lan Yue left, I looked at my pale face in the mirror, I got up and wiped my face again, took out the rose paste and rouge for wiping my face from the small drawer of the dressing table, and looked at my cheeks and lips in the mirror with some blood, I got up and changed my clothes and walked out of Fei Ling Ju. Mr. Zhang was waiting at the gate of the main courtyard, and I instructed him: "Let people lead the horse to the door, I will go out." ”
"Yes, Gege."
