Chapter 70: House arrest
Seeing this pot of violently churning asphalt, the monk was already frightened, his eyes stared at the pot of asphalt, and he shouted vaguely: "The factory spares his life, the factory spares his life......"
"It's too late for you to confess your sins now, or you can taste enough of this boiling asphalt!" Huo Weihua half-squinted, smirked smugly, and the chill in his tone made the little monk shudder.
The little monk has no personnel in the end, and he doesn't know what kind of trap he has fallen into, and he is still desperately explaining: "Please...... Please believe me, I ...... I didn't, I didn't......"
She looked at the little monk, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, at this moment, she was afraid that admitting her sins would be death, and if she didn't admit it, she would die!
"Stinky monk, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" As he spoke, Huo Weihua picked up the scoop on the wooden cart, scooped up a scoop of asphalt, and slowly walked towards the little monk, his half-squinted eyes exuding a fierce light, which made people tremble.
"Please, don't, don't ......" The little monk stared at Huo Weihua's hand with his eyes, begging with his mouth, supporting the ground with both hands, and moving his body backwards with great effort, but in a moment, large beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly, Huo Weihua snorted, waved his right hand, and the asphalt in his hand had already been viciously splashed towards the little monk!
"Ah~~~~" With a miserable scream, the little monk rolled on the ground in pain, and his face instantly turned pale.
She gasped and turned her face sideways through her teeth, unable to bear to look any further. You must know that the boiling point of asphalt is two or three hundred degrees, and if it is splashed on people, no one can imagine what it will taste like.
At this time, Huo Weihua scooped up another scoop of asphalt, his eyes were vicious, and he was about to splash it again.
"Don't, don't ......," the little monk kept praying and wailing.
"Are you recruiting or not?"
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything......" The little monk was already in pain, and when he saw that he was going to come again, how could he resist it.
"Wouldn't it be nice to recruit early? You don't have to suffer like that. Factory father, Mrs. Fengsheng, this stinky monk has been recruited, murdering the emperor, the crime deserves death, the factory father looks at ......"
Already recruited? Is this called a trick? What did he recruit? It's not even a trick!
She was indignant, but she was in the palace at the moment, the emperor was already seriously ill, and the queen seemed helpless, if she rashly exposed her identity as a little concubine of King Xin, I am afraid that she would not be able to protect this monk, and she would harm King Xin, she could only watch!
"Does this Chitose still need your instructions on what to do?" Wei Zhongxian raised his eyes lightly, with a displeased expression, it seemed that something that belonged to him had been snatched away by others.
"Yes, yes, yes! It was Weichen's momentary gaffe, and he asked the factory to forgive me. Huo Weihua was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would suddenly change his hexagram, and he would be even more submissive.
"The emperor's poisoning has now been confirmed, Huo Weihua, the right attendant of the military department, was framed by a traitor and suffered an injustice. He also felt that he was loyal to the emperor, and the bounty was one hundred taels. ”
As soon as he heard this, Huo Weihua was already smiling, and kowtowed to thank him: "The factory is wise, Xie is the factory is clear, and the minister is innocent." Huo Weihua did not hide his pride at all.
"Ahem" Mrs. Fengsheng coughed lightly twice and rolled her eyes at Huo Weihua.
"The monk of Qingchan Temple has personally confessed to poisoning the emperor, come on, the monk of Qingchan Temple can hurt the dragon body, the crime deserves death, and the punishment of skinning is specially given to set an example!"
Wei Zhongxian glanced down, his face was light and breezy, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and there was a cold chill in his eyes.
Skinning Punishment ...... When I heard it, it was terrifying, and all the palace eunuchs were shocked.
The punishment of skinning is no less cruel than Ling Chi. When peeling, the spine is cut down, and the back skin is divided in half with a knife, and the skin and muscles are slowly separated with the knife, tearing it apart like a butterfly spreading its wings.
I have long heard that the 9,000-year-old is good at using the punishment of skinning, but the punishment of skinning is different from the usual, before it was to skin the dead, but the 9,000-year-old likes to directly peel the living!
This sounds extremely terrifying, could it be that today, 9,000 years old, is going to carry out the punishment of skinning at the gate of this Qianqing Palace?!
At this time, Wei Zhongxian's factory guards had already tied the little monk to a door panel, he was so frightened at this time that his soul was scattered, he hung limply on the door panel and trembled, and his mouth couldn't stop trembling: "The factory man spares his life, the factory man spares his life......
At this time, she knelt on the ground suddenly, and after that, many palace maids and eunuchs followed and knelt on the ground, but before she could speak, Wei Zhongxian's cold tone had already come: "Whoever dares to intercede will be punished for the same crime." ”
All the palace eunuchs shut up and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the fire would burn on them.
She only felt that her chest was suffocating, and she rushed forward, but Siming, who was kneeling behind her, had already dragged her to death, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only kneel in place and stare at Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Fengsheng!
"The factory has been given the punishment of skinning, what are you still doing in a daze!" Huo Weihua shouted to the factory guard behind him.
"Yes!"
When several factory guards heard the order, they immediately took out the hot asphalt boiled into liquid from the large iron pot in the middle of the courtyard with a small porcelain cylinder, and poured it evenly and meticulously from head to toe to the whole body of the little monk who was nailed to the door panel, even sparing every fingertip.
For a moment, the smell of scorched lakes and the smell of meat spread in the air, and a sensational low howl from the depths of the little monk's chest emanated from the blocked throat.
Her brain kept buzzing, and she didn't dare to look at it sideways, but when the smell of human flesh came, she still vomited. At this point, many others squatted down and vomited, others were even better, and they just fainted in fright.
And Wei Zhongxian was drinking hot wine in a small golden cup at the moment, admiring the work of his subordinates, and giving advice from time to time.
"You have seen carefully, this is the end of the murder of the emperor!" Wei Zhongxian took a sip of wine and licked his lips with a taste.
When the asphalt on the little monk's body was dry, as soon as Wei Zhongxian signaled, several little eunuchs who were already waiting on the side smiled fiercely, some with a knife to cut, some with a wooden hammer, almost all of them were the craftsmanship of a first-class chef and a first-class tailor, and completely peeled off the whole human skin of the little monk.
Because of the asphalt, the human skin stood on the ground, and it was almost a completely hollow person standing there. The little monk had not yet taken his breath, and his eyes were still seeing his "leather coat" standing in front of him, and his frightened expression could still be seen on his face with no skin and only muscles.
She heard the movement, glanced at it inadvertently, and instantly her brain went black and she fainted with fright.
In a trance, he seemed to hear Wei Zhongxian's voice, "Come on, make a two-sided drum from the peeled human skin, and hang it at the gate of the East Factory to show the ring." ”
She was unconscious. "Don't, don't......" She woke up suddenly, her blank eyes full of horror, and her fluttering hands were still frozen in mid-air.
"Xin'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... King Xin grabbed her trembling body and wrapped her hand in the palm of his hand.
Hearing the familiar voice, she opened her eyes dimly, and said vaguely "letter ......", the warmth of King Xin's arms penetrated into her skin, she gradually settled down, and fell asleep in a groggy state.
There was still some residual heat in August, but the person in his arms was cold.
Holding her stiff body, King Xin was full of pity, but as a prince, he couldn't give her such a paradise life, but he was extremely reluctant to let her come into contact with the dark side of the palace.
Her world is too clean, and he is afraid that he will bring a stain to her world, so he rarely takes her into the palace, and even the routine palace visit on the second day of the wedding is also tried to shirk it.
And today, he never expected Xin'er to enter the palace regardless of the danger, and he didn't expect that the damn Wei Zhongxian would be so bold and openly kill people at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, allowing Xin'er to witness such a terrifying picture with his own eyes!
Hmph~ Wei Zhongxian, based on this alone, this king will definitely let you die without a place to be buried!
When she woke up, it was already the morning of the second day, and after a night's rest, although she still had palpitations, she was not as frightened as last night, after all, she was no longer as weak as before after the experience of leaving the palace of the king of letters.
She took a deep breath and realized that she was now lying in a palatial palace, could she still be in the palace? What about the King of Faith? Where's King Shin?! She panicked for no apparent reason.
She was about to get up when she noticed a commotion at the door.
"Presumptuous! Now this king is going out, and this king wants to see who dares to stop this king! King Xin's cold drink came, although he deliberately lowered his voice, but there was anger in his words that could not be concealed.
"His Royal Highness the King of Faith forgives his sins, the Emperor has decreed, please His Royal Highness the King of Faith to stay in this side hall for a few days, so that he can pass it on." The guard's voice, though respectful, was also cold and unresponsive.
"Lord Wang......" Seeing that King Xin was about to be angry, she hurriedly got up and called him, now as long as King Xin is safe, nothing else matters.
"Xin'er, I woke you up......" Seeing her, King Xin's cold face eased slightly.
She shook her head, ignored the guards, and dragged King Shin directly into the house.
"Why should the prince be angry with them, they are just doing what they are told, the prince is wise, and he must know who trapped us here."
"This is clearly house arrest! The imperial brother will not be like this, I'm afraid there is only Wei Zhongxian! Hum! ”
"If someone wants to keep us here, how can they let us out so easily."
"What Xin'er said is, let's wait and see, I'll see what they want to do!"
retracted her cold eyes, but all she had on her was doting and worried: "Xin'er, you ......"
She smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm worried." It's hard to completely erase that picture from her mind, but she is not the Tian Xiuying she used to be after all.
"That's good, Xin'er, you scared me to death last night."
Last night? By the way, she fainted, and then what? You won't be aware of your identity.
"Don't worry, no one else has found out." He wouldn't let others find out that there was no better place in this palace than the palace of Xinwang, and he definitely couldn't put her in danger.
"That's good!" Buried his head in his arms and gently wrapped his arms around his waist, no matter what, he was fine, so it would be fine.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind the bookcase in the palace, and when she heard the sound, she and King Shin immediately became alert.
I saw a moment of effort, the bookcase moved slowly, and a doorway appeared behind it, it turned out that there was a secret door in this palace! She and King Shin glanced at each other and were secretly surprised!
When they looked again, a figure appeared in front of them in a flicker. They don't know whether they are friends or foes, but they prefer to believe that the one who comes is not good.
King Xin had already clenched her fists at this moment, and she also secretly clenched the silver needle in her hand.
Only then did I find that the person in front of me was wearing an atmospheric and luxurious official uniform, wearing a dragon and phoenix pearl crown, wearing a red large-sleeved shirt, adding a xia veil on the clothes, a red Luo long skirt, a red jacket, and a dragon and phoenix ornament on the special bun of the first suit, and the clothes were embroidered with woven gold dragon and phoenix patterns.
"Fifth brother, don't panic, it's the palace."
"Imperial sister-in-law, why are you?" The two of them were stunned for a moment, and let go of their clenched fists and hands to meet them.
This...... Why is the queen dressed up so much at the moment but not with a palace maid?
She was stunned at first, but she also reacted quickly and hurriedly saluted: "The queen mother is auspicious." She was still wearing palace maid clothes, so she had to bow down.
"The side princess doesn't have to be polite!" The queen hurriedly helped her, didn't the king say that no one had her identity, so how did the queen know her identity?
"Fifth brother, the matter is urgent, and the palace won't tell you much, you can go with me immediately."
Seeing that the queen was dressed up like this, and her expression was flustered, King Xin also guessed a little, so he didn't ask much, only nodded at her slightly, and hurriedly pulled her to the secret door with the queen.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a long dark passage inside. The secret door behind the bookcase slowly closed, and it became pitch black inside, and under the guidance of the queen, they groped all the way and suddenly stopped.
"Your Majesty......" the queen suddenly called cautiously.
"Yan'er, did anyone bring it?" There was a whisper behind the door.
"Back to the emperor, yes."
"Come on in!" Although the voice was weak, it was also full of excitement.
There was only a loud sound, and a dazzling light shone in, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously not used to such a strong light.
King Xin had already heard the emperor's voice, and hurriedly followed the queen out, and his steps could not help but be anxious, but even so, his hand was still holding her tightly, and after the events of last night, he no longer dared to leave her alone.
As soon as she walked out of the secret door, she realized that they were now in the Qianqing Palace, and it turned out that the Qianqing Palace and the side hall were actually connected by a secret passage! Looking at his face from the side, King Shin was also full of surprise.
Seeing the emperor lying on the dragon couch, King Xin's heart swelled with sourness.
"Brother Huang...... Brother to the royal brother greetings! ”
"The concubine greets the emperor!" Now that the queen knows her identity, the emperor must also know, and there is no need for her to hide it anymore.
"The fifth brother and the side princess should get up, cough cough~~" The emperor's breath was weak, and even coughing seemed so laborious.
"I have secretly summoned four cabinet ministers today to announce something of great importance."
Following the emperor's gaze, she realized that there were four other ministers in the same Qianqing Palace.
What is this posture about? She couldn't help but wonder, could it be...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, what she was afraid of was finally coming......
