After beating all the concubines, the little palace maid who went to pick up Sister Xin and the two eunuchs were also escorted up.

Hui Lan swept around them, "I heard that you discussed going to report the news, right?" ”

"Back to the words of the concubine, yes, we are indeed forced to do so, the queen wants me to wait for the funeral, we haven't touched the princess, please Niang Mingjian, spare our lives."

The palace maid knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"Well, I asked, it's true, I didn't lie, but if I make a mistake, I will be punished, come to someone, twenty boards per person, if you can survive, I will spare your life from now on, Chang Ji sent them to the concubine to serve, and they are not allowed to enter the harem."

"No, someone."

Press a few people to the bench to hit the board.

"Thank you for your kindness."

The little palace maid and the eunuch thanked one after another, this is already the best result, it may not be bad to go to the concubine, at least the life is safe.

There was a sound of slapping boards in the air, and it hurt to listen to.

The concubines were beaten and fainted, where did they suffer such a crime when they were delicate and weak, and they fell into a coma after a few boards.

"Take it down to heal the wound, let Imperial Doctor Xu heal, don't die to be cured, don't try to slander me."

Hui Lan stood up and stretched, "The Zhou family is extremely evil, not one of the three hundred and eighty-five people is left, all of them will be beheaded, and none of them will be allowed to go." ”

After saying this, his eyes swept over Li Yi, raised the corners of his lips, laughed loudly, and was arrogant, Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly stepped forward, held her arm, and left Yongning Palace.

Li Chengze sighed, "It's time to remember the lesson today, Chang Ji, pass on my order, the Zhou family is full of beheading, the queen loses her virtue and takes away the title and honor, takes back the phoenix seal and treasure book, demotes the crown princess, and is buried in the concubine's mausoleum with the rites of the crown princess." ”

"No."

"Go back too, don't listen to what your mother told you about some things that are not messy and bad for your heart. I am still young, and my son is gone. ”

put aside this heartless sentence and strode away.

Leaving the four children like wilted eggplants, wilting and drooping, this time they were beaten a little hard.

Hui Lan returned to Yongshou Palace, and without saying a word, Xiao Yuanzi poured a cup of spiritual tea and served it to her, "Master, the princess still has to send a few more skilled little eunuchs to accompany her." ”

"You go and choose, let Pei Liang find me a few little girls to practice martial arts with the princess, and let him train a few maids who are good at martial arts. Let's order eight first. ”

"Yes. Master, will there be any criticism on the other side of the previous court? ”

"I don't care, I've grabbed this queen's position, whoever wants to go against me, go and be with the Zhou family, hehehe!"

Killing more than 300 people in the Zhou family has one purpose, and those who stand in my way will die!

Hui Lan has gradually changed her mentality over the years in Hongchen, she can't protect her children without rights, she really didn't care about this right before, what cultivators seek is the strength of their own strength, not power.

But now my mind has changed, and the scenery I see from a high position is different, and my thoughts and thoughts are completely different.

"Yes, the slaves are afraid that the Qian family will turn against each other."

Xiao Yuanzi's expression was a little hesitant and gloomy, the Qian family has the eldest prince Li Yi, and the situation has obviously changed in the past two years.

"If there are too many people who tout, they forget how many catties and taels they have, Li Yi, his qualifications are mediocre, whether it is talent or martial arts, he is not as good as Li Zhou. What about a famous family, it is better for a palace maid to teach children. ”

"You are wise, among the four princes, Li Zhou's grades have always been firmly in second place, and he has never been promoted and no one has grabbed his position, and the slave feels that he is deliberately hibernating."

"It's not necessarily a good thing, his mother's status as a concubine is low, teach the children well, and it is also good to be a powerful prince in the future, fighting for the throne is a matter of life and death, how can you go all the way to the dark."

Huilan does not agree with the second prince's approach, but thinks that the eldest prince is a smart person who knows current affairs, you see that now the two brothers are good, and the mother concubine is also taken home to the two sons' houses to take turns to live, often go out to play, these days live in the countryside farm to play with the grandson, not to mention how comfortable the days are, this is the real smart person, take a step back and open the sky.

"You're saying that I'm sending someone to keep an eye on me."

"Go ahead, help me watch Sister Xin. Yongshou Palace still has to rely on you to preside over the overall situation for me, your sister Dingxiang is an honest person, not good at scheming, Qiuyun still lacks a little experience, is not ruthless enough, Yan Mama is old, and her energy is not enough, I can only count on you. ”

"Yes, the slave is duty-bound."

Xiao Yuanzi is in charge, it is impossible for him to go to another family in this life, so he naturally has to worry more about his master.

"This bottle of medicine is for you, take it leisurely, the medicine is poisonous and not easy to discharge. What comes from penance is one's own. ”

"Yes, minion keep it in mind."

Xiao Yuanzi clenched the medicine bottle and bent down.

Li Chengze came in, and Huilan turned around and went to the inner room and leaned on the bed, ignoring him.

He followed him into the inner chamber, sat down beside her, and lay down with her, without speaking.

The atmosphere between the two was a little cold and a little heavy.

After a long silence, no one refused to break the deadlock, and Li Chengze did not speak, nor explained, perhaps saying that there was no need to explain, this matter belonged to the tacit understanding and understanding between their husband and wife.

I don't know how long Li Chengze was silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and scooped the person into his arms, and kissed her forehead, "I'm sorry I neglected Zhou Ying's head, I underestimated the enemy, I thought that a woman who was panting loudly when she spoke no longer had any threat." ”

In the end, he still apologized, he didn't dare to imagine what Sister Xin would do if something happened?

In the past three years, he has been taking care of his children, and no one understands many hardships more deeply than his father, and he is closer to Sister Xin, so he acquiesced to Huilan's killing, which is also what he wants to do.

"If you don't do it, I will do it, I won't let Zhou Ying continue to live."

"I can tolerate everything, but I can't tolerate my children being hurt and wronged."

Hui Lan closed her eyes and spoke softly.

"I know. Tell Sister Xin the truth, there is no room for innocent and stupid children in the palace, when our protection is strict and negligent, you are right, you are the most reliable when you are strong, Sister Xin must grow up. ”

Li Chengze finally stopped hesitating and agreed to let Sister Xin come into contact with some not-so-beautiful things, so that she could learn to become stronger.

"Okay."

This matter did not pass like this, three concubines died, and all the girls of the Li family died, how could the Li family spare Huilan, and there was a disturbance in the court.

But he was beaten back by Li Chengze, who had been prepared, and Yu Shi and Li Tong and others jointly impeached the Li family for many crimes, and Li Chengze decided to investigate thoroughly.

The Li family had to stop fighting, and now they can't take care of their two dead daughters, and they are also a mess of bad debts.

Back then, the first emperor told Li Chengze privately not to trust the Li family too much, his family is not loyal, but those courtiers who follow him and the neutral party can be won over and trusted, and easily turn their backs on the emperor, and the great ability should also be used carefully.

Now that the words of the first emperor have all come true, yes, in the decades of emperor's power career, he has seen more far-reaching than Li Chengze.

The Li family was the second batch to be investigated, and the first batch was the Zhou family and the party that followed his family, all of whom were raided and exterminated.
