When I woke up the next day, my head was still groggy.

Qi Jin went down to the court and led the imperial doctor to see me. The doctor diagnosed the pulse and said that breathing more fresh air is conducive to the discharge of toxins from the body. Qi Jin had to go to the Qianqing Palace for a while, so he asked Xi'er to accompany me to the imperial garden to breathe, and asked Wang Xi to follow. When I was enjoying the good spring light, the little eunuch and palace maid trotted in front of me, and of course, she didn't forget to say hello to me. Xi'er asked:

"Where are you in a hurry?"

A little eunuch replied with a panicked expression:

"The servants are in a hurry to go to the torture room, and the queen mother asked everyone in the palace to go and watch at this moment."

"What are you going to watch in the torture chamber?" I asked.

"Looking back to Lord Huan, there was poisoning in the palace a few days ago, and the queen found out the culprit, and she is being tortured in the torture room at the moment."

When the little eunuch had finished, Xi'er waved his hand at them, and they trotted away.

Poisoned?

It can't be Shi'er, right? I ran quickly in the direction of the little eunuch just now, and Xi'er chased after me and called me.

The inner three floors and the outer three layers are surrounded, and the sound of clubs hitting inside can still be heard clearly. When I opened them, I saw that the ground was covered in blood, and the people in the blood-soaked sacks were still convulsing. I sat down on the ground in fright, my face pale. Xi'er chased after me, saw me sitting on the ground, and hurriedly helped me up, I grabbed Xi'er's arm stupidly, and asked tremblingly:

"Is there a person in it?"

Xi'er avoided my gaze and nodded silently.

The strong smell of blood is disgusting. I retched, and Xi'er and the other two palace maids almost dragged me out of the scene. On the way back to Moju Garden, I kept thinking of the scene just now, the person in the sack convulsed unconsciously because of the pain, and the skin and flesh were broken due to the hit of the stick, and the blood flowed endlessly. I knelt on the ground, Xi'er asked the palace maid who had just helped me to get water, and at the same time helped me pat me on the back, and Qiqi, who was walking not far away, saw me fall to the ground and hurriedly came over to ask me what was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Qiqi squatted down and looked at me with concern. As soon as I raised my eyes, I cried, for the first time I saw a person beaten to death in front of me!

"They killed!"

"Who!"

"They beat people to death! A lot of blood, a lot of blood! I cried and spoke incoherently, and Qiqi patted me on the back and let me lean into his arms. Xi'er explained the words of the little eunuch on the side, and Qiqi understood.

"I didn't let you go, what did you run to join in the fun? I scared myself. ”

"There's a lot of blood, they're still fighting! Qiqi, you're Baylor, can you go and save that person? ”

"Do you know who's in there?"

I couldn't hold back my sobs and looked at him with wide eyes.

"The Queen's personal maid, Shi'er. After you were poisoned that day, Sixteen took the poisonous spring flower to hold the emperor accountable, and the emperor gave Shi'er to Sixteen in order to prove that she had nothing to do with the matter. The act of poisoning in the palace was exposed, but it was a capital crime of the nine clans, and the emperor said that he would make an example of a hundred, so there was the scene you just watched. ”

I looked at Qiqi in disbelief, and Qiqi tapped me twice on the back and lifted me up from the ground.

Back in Moju Garden, Xi'er asked someone to bring me a soothing soup. I drank three bowls in a row, and my panic still didn't subside. My mind was full of bloody images. I couldn't eat dinner, and even my dreams at night were bloody patches, bloody sacks, and convulsive corpses in sacks. I woke up screaming, Xi'er ran in from outside the house in a panic, and I hugged Xi'er and cried.

I'm scared.

It's a real person.

The flesh and blood that were beaten alive blurred to death.

The civilized society of the rule of law in the 21st century has never seen such torture.

Since that day, I have had nightmares every night, and I always wake up in the middle of the night and cry uncontrollably. Xi'er set up a small bed next to my bed, and she said, "County master, the slave is with you, you don't have to be afraid." Because of sleep problems, I turned pale and my whole mental state was not good.

Qi Qi led the imperial doctor to see me every day.

"The imperial doctor said, you are weak and scattered. So that you don't have to think cranky, rest and recuperate. Qiqi sat down in front of my bed and said to me.

"I just have nightmares a lot at night and then I can't sleep."

"I was still shocked that day."

"Hmm."

"Otherwise, let's recuperate in another place for a while. If you continue like this, you really can't do it. ”

"Somewhere else?"

Qiqi didn't say where to go. I didn't continue to ask.

Qin Bi took Qing'er into the palace to greet the imperial grandmother, and came to Moju Garden by the way. The palace maid and eunuch in the garden took Qing'er to play, and Qin Bi sat with me on the stone bench next to me and drank tea. Xi'er brought refreshments, and Qinbi beckoned Qing'er and asked the nurse to feed him snacks. The little guy is very active, which is not at all like Qixi. Keiki is always angry.

"A few days ago, I heard that you were sick, but I didn't say what the disease was, and today I look at you, my complexion is really bad."

In the end, there will be no rumors of intrauterine scandals such as poisoning. I rubbed my temples and smiled:

"It's that I get very sleepy in the spring, and I sleep all day, and the people who sleep feel wasted. I can't lift God. ”

"Then you still have to go around, although your garden is good, but if you always stay in one place, it is inevitable that you will be bored and sleepy."

"The second sister-in-law is right. It's got to go out and walk around. ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve that night......" Qin Bigu said to herself, looking at me and smiling:

"You and your sixteenth brother are indeed a good match. The sentence that the sixteenth brother said, Qi Nianhuan and praying for Jin, is really enviable. ”

She smiled, but I couldn't see a hint of joy in her smile. As soon as Xi'er heard Qin Bi say that Chinese New Year's Eve, she was excited:

"What Fu Jin said is that although the slaves and maids are standing on one side, it is indeed true, when the prince knelt on the top of the hall and said that he wanted to marry our county lord, his eyes were bright!"

"Yes, maybe it's because of the light." I laughed, and Qin Bi laughed too:

"Why don't you say that the sixteenth brother is revealing his true feelings, Xi'er can really see it on the side. Eh, these flowers of yours are growing well.

"Xi'er takes care of it every day, if it doesn't grow well, it's strange."

"I don't know what the flowers in Prince Duan's Mansion have grown into now." Qin Bi said unintentionally, and suddenly felt that he was speechless, and looked at me apologetically:

"Look at me, I'm talking nonsense."

"If I have the chance, I want to see it. I haven't been there once in all these years. ”

"Now that you are the Prince of Yu Fujin of the Imperial Finger, it's better not to go."

"Yes, the second sister-in-law reminded me."

"Huang Ama was seriously ill and remembered the fifth brother, this morning just issued an order for the prince to tidy up the Duan's palace. If you read it, let the master help you see it. ”

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

"There are many concubines in Prince Yu's mansion, you need to be more cautious when you become the master in the future, the sixteenth heart is the best protection in you, but you yourself must always think about yourself, so as not to be bullied."

"Before she got married, the second sister-in-law began to pass on her experience. Good second sister-in-law, if you encounter these in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice. ”

"Sixteen has no heirs now, servant

But one of the concubines was pregnant, and she would give birth in the middle of summer. ”

I was caught off guard by the news. imagined that there were many concubines in his house, but he never thought that he was about to become a father. And once I enter the house, I will become a stepmother. I was stunned, and Qin Bi reached out to shake me before I reacted.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay, I'm tired of making an appointment. I was very sleepy the other day. ”

"Drowsiness? Is it bad to rest on weekdays? Looking at it this way, your complexion is indeed a little worse. ”

"It's okay, it's been a lot better in the past two days."

"That'll be fine."

Qin Bi took it away, and I wrote a letter and asked Xi'er to go to the cabinet and hand it over to Qixi.

I want to go to Prince Duan's Mansion.

I want to see what the garden flowers in Prince Duan's mansion look like now over the years.

Xi'er came back from the cabinet with a message from Qixi:

Tomorrow, I'll pick you up.

Qi Jin came over in the evening and said that he would see me before leaving the palace. I spun around three times, then put my arm around his neck and said I was fine. He put his arm around my waist, kissed me lightly on the forehead, and then asked:

"Second sister-in-law came to see you today?"

"How do you know?"

"The second brother said that he will leave the palace with his second sister-in-law and Qing'er today."

"The second sister-in-law took Qing'er to ask the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and came to sit with me by the way."

"But what did you say?"

"Say, you and I are a good match, on Chinese New Year's Eve, you knelt on the main hall and said that you want to marry me to make her envious."

"They are all canonized by the emperor's order, and before that, no elder brother took the initiative to ask for marriage in front of everyone. I was the first. ”

"Isn't it supposed to be something special? It's an important thing in life. ”

"Marriage proposal? It's a new term. ”

"By the way, where's my ring?"

"Rings?" Looking at Qi Jin's blank appearance, I was happy in my heart, but my right hand had already reached in front of him:

"Eh, I have to ask for a ring when I propose~"

"This is the first time I've asked for a ring, but I've never heard of a ring. So be it, I'll give you this ring."

With that, he took off the gold emerald ring he was wearing on his index finger and solemnly put it on my right index finger. But the ring is bigger. Then he put it on my thumb and said:

"Why are your hands so thin, I just wear them well. You can wear it. ”

The thumb is just right to wear. A good ring, I wore it as a wrench.

"Okay, finally put it on."

Qi Jin took my hand with the ring and looked at it carefully, nodded and said:

"Beautiful."

"I don't want this ring."

"What's wrong?"

"This look is a man's ornament. Moreover, I am talking about the ring to be worn on the ring finger of the right hand. ”

"Ring finger? Which finger is it? ”

"This." I moved my ring finger, and Qi Jin looked at me confused:

"The second, seventh, and ninth sisters-in-law all wore several rings on their hands, and they didn't see them wearing ornaments on this finger every time. I feel like you know something they don't even understand. ”

Nonsense, sister, I came through it.

"Of course, you have to have a ring to get married. As for this ring of yours, I'll keep it for you first. When you have the ring ready, I'll give it back to you. ”

"What you say, it's what it is~"
