Chapter 18: The Cold, the Cold, the Cold

With the help of Qiaoxin, Xing'er had a general understanding of the residences of the masters of the imperial city, and finally came to a hidden place in the northwest corner of the imperial city. Xing'er jumped forward.

"Aunt Liyue, Xing'er is here!" Xing'er shouted happily

Liyue turned to look at them, her face was serious, frosty, Xing'er stopped, Liyue was a little scary at this time.

"Aunt Liyue......" Xing'er's voice became smaller and quieter, and by the end it was almost inaudible.

"What kind of place is this?! Who gave you permission to shout! "Liyue has changed her usual gentleness and amiability.

Qiaoxin was far away, and she didn't dare to come closer, except for the last time she disposed of Lingxin, this was the first time she saw Aunt Liyue's face so ugly.

"Qiaoxin, come close!" Liyue roared sharply, with a cold shiver, and stepped forward tremblingly.

Syllable! A crisp slap fell on Qiaoxin's white and tender face, a palm print, and five fingers were distinct. Qiao covered his face in distress, immediately knelt down, crying and begging for mercy.

"Aunt Liyue, please go around me, Qiaoxin really doesn't know what mistake she made? Woowoo woo ......"

"I asked you to take Xing'er to familiarize yourself with the Forbidden Palace of the Imperial City, why don't you understand the rules at all?!" Liyue snapped, "What kind of place is this?" Yelling! ”

"Aunt Huiyue, it's a respectful room, and the slave knows it's wrong." Qiaoxin sobbed and whispered back.

Xing'er was not far away now, she was just stupid, she couldn't believe that this was the Liyue who coaxed her to sleep every day and gently stroked her cheeks and forehead...... After a while, she suddenly had a spirit, and seeing that Liyue was still going to be clever, she quickly ran over and hugged Liyue's thighs and cried.

"Aunt Liyue, Aunt Liyue, don't beat Sister Qiaoxin, it's Xing'er who yells, it's Xing'er who doesn't understand the rules, aunt punish Xing'er, please, please...... Woo woo woo ......" Xing'er shook Liyue's body, crying and pleading.

Liyue turned her face away, no matter how Xing'er shook her and said her, she was unmoved.

"Two grandmothers, are you waiting for me to do it?! Don't slap her mouth yet?! Liyue said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, a grandmother stepped forward and opened the bow left and right, and after a while, Qiaoxin's face was already swollen.

Xing'er saw that Qiaoxin was beaten, and then turned to Qiaoxin, blocking the slap for her, saying that the time was in a hurry, and after a while, several slap prints had already fallen on Xing'er's body, Xing'er screamed in pain, and Liyue immediately covered her mouth.

"Still don't you have a long memory?!" Liyue screamed.

"Auntie, Qiaoxin and Xing'er both know that they are wrong, and they both know that they are wrong." Hurriedly kowtowed, Liyue glanced at them and turned her back.

"Mama Ganchun, let's stop." As soon as Liyue's words fell, Mama's hand stopped.

"You remember, always remember your identity, words and deeds, a person's mistakes, may affect others to be punished, if you serve the master in the future, the master makes a mistake, we are not reminded in time when the wooden cart is not reminded, it may affect the slaves of the palace to be punished! Or even die! With the last few words, Retsuki raised her voice.

"Remember?" Retsuki looked back at the two of them.

"Remember, remember, slave and maid don't dare anymore." Qiaoxin nodded vigorously.

"What about you?!" Liyue's serious gaze moved to Xing'er's face.

"Xing'er wrote it down." Although Xing'er said that he had written it down, there was indignation, incomprehension, and a trace of stubbornness in his eyes. These rites are all in the eyes.

"Good! Just remember! Retsuki straightened her clothes.

"This is the respectful room, the place to manage the chamberlain and the palace e, that is, the place to manage the palace maids and eunuchs, Mama Ganchun, tell these two ignorant people, who has the final say here?!"

"The Jingshifang is under the management of the Internal Affairs Office, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who make the book, all the eunuchs and palace maids are under the exclusive management of the Jingshifang, the chief eunuch of the inner chamber is the chief manager of Zhou Liang, and the chief eunuch of the palace is the aunt of Liyue. However, the two eunuchs have the right to assist and discipline the unruly chamberlains of each palace. ”

"Got it?!"

"Back to my aunt, I understand." The two spoke in unison.

"I have called you here today to teach you the rules. Mammies lead the way. ”

"Yes!" The two grandmothers led the way in response and pushed open the door of the worship room.

The courtyard of the worship room is a long and narrow three-entry courtyard, which is divided into many places, the premises for managing the eunuchs and the palace maids are separated, and the courtyards are also separated, the eunuchs are in the outer courtyard of the first entrance, the palace maids are in the middle of the courtyard, and there is a courtyard in the innermost.

The two grandmothers led the way into the third courtyard, this courtyard, which may be the northernmost four high walls of the imperial city, is now evening, this courtyard is particularly gloomy and the atmosphere is depressing.

The rooms in the courtyard are also taller than the two courtyards outside, but here the rooms have no windows, only low and narrow doorways.

In the middle of the courtyard, four cast iron Wugong cases, surrounded by a bronze statue, that statue is the Donghua Emperor in charge of Xing Prison's life and death, the incense burner of the four cases are full of cigarette smoke, and the tribute on the case is sufficient.

The two grandmothers led a group of people to the door of a room on the right-hand side, at the door, there were two palace people standing at the door, and when they got closer, it turned out to be Juanxiu and the two.

When they saw a crowd coming, they both owed a picture.

"I've seen the eldest aunt, the two deacons, the eldest grandmother."

"Qiaoxin, see? You should take Xing'er to learn this! Now that you've entered the palace, don't treat her as a child anymore! "Lessons from the Rite Month.

"If you know that you are wrong, you must correct it."

The redness and swelling on Qiaoxin's face had already explained everything to Juanxiu and the others, and the two of them were also surprised and more careful.

"All four of you come in with me and the grandmothers."

Saying that, Liyue entered the narrow door, and the three-hearted fish entered, and Xing'er looked at the black hole inside, a little timid, and raised and lowered her little feet, not daring to move forward.

It was Qiaoxin who turned back, took her slightly cool little hand and walked inside.

In this room, it was very dark, and the road on the ground was not very smooth, and in it was a cell, and in the cell there were two fires, which were two torches, and under the light of the fire was a narrow long plank, like a chair and a bed, and several thick iron chains hung from either side.

"Where is this?" Xing'er gently tugged at Qiaoxin's sleeve.

Qiaoxin compared a silent action, Xing'er quickly shut up, covered her mouth with her little hand, and the memory of being beaten just now is still fresh.

"Su Chun Mama is here?!" The grandmother named Gan Chun shouted.

A small door in the room opened, and a grandmother walked out, and this grandmother Xing'er recognized it at a glance, it was another grandmother next to the Queen Mother.

"Aunt Liyue, Mama!" Su Chun saw the ceremony, "Bring it out!" ”

Two little eunuchs, carrying a soft body, walked out of the small room.

Everyone recognized that person was the Lingxin who was belittled by Liyue and imprisoned in the bottom compartment of the phoenix boat, and Lingxin had passed out at this time.

"You've been tortured?!" Liyue asked.

"When I went back to my aunt, no, I changed her torture clothes, and she passed out."

"Useless stuff! Hum! This kind of goods dare to be arranged to the side of the Queen Mother! Retsuki smiled contemptuously and snorted. Let's get started! ”

After Liyue finished speaking, the two little eunuchs put their spiritual hearts on the narrow wooden torture platform, and their hands, feet, legs, and waists were all fixed with iron chains to form a sitting position. The little eunuch took a small incense burner and got drunk in front of Lingxin, who immediately woke up.

Liyue led everyone to hide in the shadows, allowing Xing'er and Sanxin to watch all this quietly.

"Where am I?" The spirit is weak.

"Where else could it be?" Gan Chun's voice was hoarse and difficult.

"Girl, this is the Shen Penal Division, and it is inevitable that you will suffer when you come here," said another named Ning Chun's grandmother.

"Ahh Lingxin exclaimed, "No, no, no, it's just that Aunt Liyue punished me with thirty boards, and nothing else!" Mammas, is there a mistake?! Lingxin cried out in panic, and his voice trembled.

"Girl, it's better for you to recruit yourself, lest we do it, you fine-skinned and tender-skinned?!" Granny Ning Chun's whip was dipped in water, and then gently swept across Lingxin's cheeks.

Lingxin's eyes widened in horror, her body trembled, and she didn't say a word.

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you have to try the means of the Prudent Criminal Division?!" Mama Gan Chun suddenly raised her voice.

"Lingxin doesn't know what Mama is talking about, please tell Mama ......"

"Okay, good, pretend to be confused with me?"

Gan Chun Mama walked around to Lingxin, grabbed Lingxin's hair and pulled it back, Lingxin screamed in distress.

Hearing Lingxin's scream, Xing'er shrank down, when had she seen such a violent scene, she was so frightened that she instinctively shrank behind Qiaoxin, Qiaoxin was also very afraid, but after all, she was older, and subconsciously hugged Xing'er with one hand.

Juanxiu and her two hearts also clenched their hands, and they were so frightened that they squeezed together. Only Aunt Liyue always held her chest up, looked up and watched Lingxin being tortured.

"Spiritual girl, have you remembered something?!" Mama Gan Chun asked again.

"Mama, Lingxin really doesn't know what you're talking about?!" When he said this, Lingxin's entire head had been pulled back by Gan Chun's mother.

"Okay, then let me give you a heads-up." Mama Ning Chun stepped forward.

"The chrysanthemums in front of the Yukun Hall have bloomed this year."

Mama Ning Chun slashed the water-stained leather whip across Lingxin's cheeks and long hair again.

Lingxin was obviously surprised by Mama Ning Chun's reminder, her expression was pale, and the expressions on her face kept changing, all of which were in the eyes of Liyue and Mama Suchun.

"Mama, Lingxin doesn't know what you're talking about." The spirit is still hard-mouthed.

"Good, good. Then I'll show you the skills of the Criminal Division! ”

Saying that, Mama Ning Chun shook her hand and only listened to "pop"! A crisp sound, followed by a scream of the heart.

Sanxin and Xing'er shrank together in fright, Xing'er almost shouted, skillfully covered Xing'er's mouth and took her in his arms. Xing'er was frightened and sobbed and cried, but she didn't dare to make a sound, and she hugged Xing'er with her eyes closed. Juanxin and Xiuxin also shrank together.

"Girl, the chrysanthemums in the Yukun Hall are not as beautiful as your delicate skin and tender flesh! Have you figured out what to hire?! Mama Ning Chun grabbed Lingxin's chin.

"Mama...... Lingxin really doesn't know what you're talking about......" Lingxin responded in anguish.

"Come on! Bring the bamboo board with the palm mouth. ”

Soon, a little father-in-law handed over a bamboo board that was as wide and narrow as the palm of his hand, and the thickness was even more amazing.

Syllable! With a bang, the bamboo board hit Jing'er's left cheek, but it seemed to hit the hearts of onlookers, and the recipient was in pain, and the viewer was even more painful and afraid.

Lingxin's face was bleeding, she couldn't stand the pain anymore, and she began to cry, and now the left side of her face was swollen twice as high as the right face.

"Girl, do you understand what Mama said?!"

"Woo woo woo...... Ling Xin cried and nodded, "Mama, please let me go...... Leave me alone, I'...... It's just a slave, what do you do...... Listen to the master's words......"

"Then what did the master of your Yukun Hall tell you?" Mama Ning Chun temporarily withdrew her hand.

"Mama...... Please spare your heart, woowoo......"

Mama Ning Chun raised the bamboo board again to play the second board, suddenly stopped, and took half a step back.
