Chapter 179: Torture from the Queen Mother
"Fortunately, the queen is not pregnant." Hua Feng said.
If the girl of the Mu Yan family is allowed to get the prince first, even if she is a princess, she will have more protection, and the Mu Yan family will become more and more proud under the emperor's deliberate actions, and in the long run, the Erji family will be suppressed incompletely.
"Dingli has frequently come up with new strategies this year, and its strength has risen sharply, if it can win over its power in the imperial court, it can solve the urgent need."
I don't know why, the Queen Mother always feels that this year's Dingli is different, although the former Dingli is the second master, although he is resourceful and far-sighted, and has a good way of doing business, but it is not as strong as this year.
I heard that just a few new policies were promulgated, and Dingli's income increased exponentially, you must know that the business has reached such a point, it is difficult to go further, but they can easily do it.
Not only that, but even Dingli's status in various countries has improved, and it seems that the royal families of many countries have begun to have close contacts with Dingli to discuss cooperation.
"Our people searched the Ilgen Mansion and didn't find the jade pendant, so it is unknown whether there are any of them." Hua Feng sighed.
At the beginning, the clan also received secret news, saying that Dingli had cultivated a group of its own forces in the court, and the family was constantly looking for clues in order to expand its status.
It is said that the top and bottom of the power are all recognized by the master, and with a jade pendant, he can command all the shops and the hidden strength of the court.
After the death of the previous ruler, it was only at all costs that he obtained information about the people related to him, so that the entire family was wiped out.
But I searched through their old mansions, but I didn't find the shadow of the jade pendant.
It is impossible to confirm whether there are really hidden forces in the DPRK and China, after all, after so many years of exploration, there is no trace of it.
"It won't be wrong, the first emperor once left that slut a list, and the people we want are on it." The Queen Mother's eyes burst with resentment.
The first emperor favored the slut of the Shen family all his life, and for the honor of the family, she put the bet on the three princes.
designed to arrest the Shen family, so that the third prince thought that the fourth prince killed his biological mother, forcing him to make his last determination, and had to win Ying'er in order to win over the family, and it turned out that she was right.
I was going to kill the Shen family after the deed was completed to vent the hatred in my heart, but I accidentally learned the list in her hand, and I didn't expect that the first emperor had already intentionally paved the way for her mother and son, otherwise he would not have kept that slut to this day.
"Really? Shen has not always been in your hands, if it is true, let her spit it out! Hua Feng said urgently.
The affairs of the family could not be delayed any longer, and he didn't understand the role of his sister keeping the Shen family for so many years.
So so, if she can hand over the list, the Erji clan will be unmatched.
"That slut has a very strict mouth, and he refuses to confide in half a sentence for so many years, it's not easy to do." The Queen Mother sighed.
She asked many times, but there was no progress, and she also thought about whether it was in the palace where the Shen family once lived, but she searched through the entire palace and found no information about the list.
The Shen family is soft and hard, and once the Shen family is killed, no one will know the whereabouts of the list, and she really has nothing to do.
"No matter what method you use, you have to ask for the result as soon as possible!" Huafeng can't wait.
The Queen Mother nodded, secretly ruthless, she must let the slut of the Shen family explain the clues to the list, and for now, she should appease her brother first.
Then the two said a few more words, and the harem maid was very respectful, and Hua Feng didn't want to stay long, so he left.
"Let's go, accompany the mourning family to meet the Shen family."
Not long after Hua Feng left, the Queen Mother got up, tidied up her robe, Mama Li held the Queen Mother's arm, and the two walked to the courtyard together.
Since the little eunuch guarding the Changcang Palace reported that after the emperor went there, she ordered someone to move the Shen family to her palace overnight.
No one knew the Queen Mother's reaction when she heard this, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Fortunately, the emperor was not curious to explore, and after thinking and meditating for a long time, he decided to guard people in his palace The most assured, there is a way, the most dangerous place is the safest.
The emperor rarely comes to Shou'an Palace, sometimes hindering the rules and reputation, occasionally comes to ask for peace, but also sits and leaves, never stays more, and will not wander around in her palace to inquire, naturally the most assured.
Now, Concubine Shen is locked up in a remote room in the northeast corner of Shou'an Palace, which is the first time that the Queen Mother has come to see her after Concubine Shen was locked up in Shou'an Palace.
The wooden door was old and mottled, and Mama Li stepped forward to push it open, and she heard the sound of the wooden planks shaking, and the light in the room was scarce, only a flickering candlestick on the broken wooden table, flashing with a faint light.
The Queen Mother took advantage of the sparse sunlight shining in from outside the door to see the scene inside, and Concubine Shen sat on the couch, looking at a book of poems she brought from the Changcang Palace.
Even though the surrounding environment is in tatters, Concubine Shen still looks cold, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Especially the beautiful face like back then, the more the Queen Mother looked at it, the more her heart burned.
"Back then, it was this delicate appearance that knew how to chant poetry that seduced the emperor, and now he is a prisoner, who else is he showing this appearance!"
The Queen Mother took out the book in Concubine Shen's hand and threw it on the ground, stepped on it, and the bottom of the thick flower pot suddenly printed two black marks on the neat pages.
Concubine Shen raised her eyes slowly, her eyes were faint, neither noisy nor dry, and she didn't know what to say.
Waiting for the person on the other side to clarify the purpose of coming today, or rather, waiting for her next move, after all, it is not the first time that she has come to humiliate herself when she has nothing to do.
"What is your attitude? When I saw the Queen Mother, I didn't kneel down and salute! ”
Mama Li stepped forward with a wave of her old hand, grabbed Concubine Shen's hair and dragged it hard, forcibly pulled the person to the ground, and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.
"Hey, Mama Li, this is Concubine Shen, it stands to reason that she should also be an equal person with the mourning family, how can she be willing to bow down to the mourning family."
Having said that, Mama Li still didn't let go, and the Queen Mother didn't blame her.
How can you blame it, Mama Li is the queen mother's confidant, and she naturally knows that the queen mother hates Concubine Shen in her heart.
But as the queen mother, some things are not easy to do by herself, so she can only be done by her, the person who serves by her side.
The more she did it, the more comfortable the Queen Mother became.
Her hair and scalp were pulled back fiercely, and Concubine Shen was forced to tilt her head and look at the Queen Mother, "After so many years, how long are you going to torture me." ”
"Heh, when?" The Queen Mother sneered.
Think beautifully! Torture? It's not enough at all, she can't hate to pick up Shen's skin and pull Shen's bones, she has loved the emperor for so many years, served with all her heart, and never made any mistakes, but she didn't get the heart of the emperor.
This woman, this woman, why? With a bewitching face, she easily made the emperor favored for so many years, paved the way for her careful planning, and gave birth to a son!
The son is even more annoying, originally still under his control, who knows that in the past few years, he has grown older, and his ability has also become good, vertical and horizontal, scheming is deep, not exposed, and difficult to peep!
Now it has even attracted the attention of the Erji family!
Thinking about it, the Queen Mother hated it even more.
Raised his foot and stepped on Concubine Shen's fingers, grinding it hard and slowly, torturing Concubine Shen's mind a little bit, "Unless you tell the whereabouts of the list!" "She might also consider leaving you a whole corpse.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the Queen Mother crushed Concubine Shen's fingers one by one, and the pain went into her heart.
After all, she was a weak woman, and tears had already hurt in the corners of Concubine Shen's eyes, and she bit her lower lip hard, and finally couldn't help but cry out: "Ah! ”
"The slave advises you to say it as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to keep your slender jade fingers!" Mama Li's expression was vicious, she gritted her back molars and said cruel words, and the strength in her hands became heavier.
"I advise you, still, dead this heart!" Concubine Shen spit out a sentence with difficulty.
Concubine Shen looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes were firm, and she bluntly told the Queen Mother that it was impossible for her to hand over the list.
I thought that the Queen Mother was here to torture and mock herself today, but it turned out to be for the list.
Concubine Shen is weak, but not stupid, this is the first emperor to give her life, the first emperor knew that the queen mother had been targeting her, when he was there, he was protected, the queen mother naturally did not dare to take her, but once she died, this is her life charm, which can prevent herself from being persecuted by the queen mother's family.
If she handed over the list, there was only a dead end waiting for her.
Although there were times when she couldn't hold on and wanted to cut herself and die, God let her meet Yuqing and gave her hope.
She hasn't seen her son yet, she hasn't told the emperor how much she misses him, how can she die easily.
"The mourners see that you don't see the coffin and don't cry!"
Concubine Shen's refusal to obey completely angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother increased the strength under her feet, but Concubine Shen clenched her teeth and did not open her mouth when she died.
"Ahh Concubine Shen cried out in pain, her tears were uncontrollable, her threads were dripping like beads, and her fingers were already bloody, "You don't want to know in your life!" ”
"You slut!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she slapped Concubine Shen in the face, and the force was so great that she slapped the person to the ground.
I can't ask anything today, the Queen Mother is very angry, and she throws up her sleeves and leaves, "Go!" ”
When he walked to the door, he stopped in a hurry, and said to the little eunuch at the door: "From today on, I will only give her one meal a day until she says the answer that the mourning family wants!" ”
"Yes! Minions obey! The two little eunuchs had been outside the door, hearing the screams inside the door clearly, and their hearts were palpitating, and they knelt down to send the Queen Mother away.
When the Queen Mother walked away, one person turned around and closed the door, and when she saw the situation in the house, she paused, and was glared at by another person before she reacted, took the door, and locked it.
In the house, Concubine Shen still maintained the posture before the Queen Mother left, sitting on the ground sideways, her body tilted to the side, supported by her hands, staring at the ground, and couldn't stop crying.
The place where the cheek was slapped was already high and swollen, there was still a trace of blood at the corner of the mouth, the wooden door creaked and reopened, and Concubine Shen thought that the Queen Mother was going and returned, so she sneered, and said without raising her head: "Isn't the torture enough, what do you want?" ”
A pair of dark soap boots fell in front of her, and Concubine Shen looked up, black clothes with purple dark lines, and the iceberg face that had not changed for 10,000 years, it was the night charm!
