Concubine Li knelt on the ground in single clothes, the cold north wind blew, and her thin body shivered.

Concubine Qing held the tea bowl in one hand, pinched the tea lid in the other, gently stroked the tea leaves floating on the surface, lowered her head and slowly blew on the floating leaves, the blue leaves were blown by her, and she took a sip gently, then put down the tea bowl and stared at the people kneeling below.

Li Concubine used to be her person, as early as when she was in the palace, Li Concubine was a dog under her Concubine Qing.

Concubine Qing finally knows now that it is either a domestic dog, or it is unreliable, and when she is proud, she will bite her owner.

Concubine Li, she was just favored by the emperor for one night, and she didn't know how many taels of flesh she had in her body! Dare to ignore her Qing Concubine!

With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said with a crisp smile: "Yo, Sister Lifei, what did you say." Wearing so little, kneeling in the tuyere, turning around and catching a cold, can't you feel sorry for the long live lord? ”

Concubine Li knew Concubine Qing's methods, and she also knew that she couldn't fight Concubine Qing just by virtue of one night's grace. At that moment, he shrank and said tremblingly: "Niangniang, Niangniang, please spare me!" ”

"Spare you? Sister Li Concubine, this palace wants to spare you, but the palace rules are here! I said sister, you are really, the emperor just pampered you for one night, you dare to hold on, and even dare to miss the time to ask the queen mother for peace! The Queen Mother is kind, that's it, the emperor was almost delayed in the early dynasty, don't you know how those imperial histories were admonished? Yes? ”

"Mother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time."

Concubine Qing's smile suddenly retracted, and there was a sense of anger on her face, and she said to the left and right: "Concubine Li is also an old man, why is it still me now!" Teach her the rules first! ”

Left and right, go up and open the bow left and right, it is twenty mouths.

Concubine Li's mouth was red and swollen, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Concubine Qing picked up the tea bowl again, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Sister Pei Concubine is grounded, this harem, the Queen Mother asked me to help first!" I just took this errand, and you can give me such a show. Don't say I don't help my own people, but how can this teach me? You can't make the emperor embarrassed for you and the courtiers, right? So, Sister Lifei, I can only wronged you! ”

Concubine Li endured the pain and kowtowed to Concubine Qing and begged for mercy.

Concubine Qing said fiercely: "I can't spare it! Come on, drag it down and gag it, and beat forty sticks! ”

Immediately, two stout eunuchs stepped forward, tied them up first, then gagged them, and dragged them down.

Concubine Qing said to her henchman Baozhu again: "What about the throat-destroying medicine?" Pour it on her later! The fox is domineering, use your singing voice to seduce/lure the emperor, I'll see how you sing in the future! ”

Baozhu asked hesitantly: "But Niangniang, if someone asks about ...... afterwards"

Concubine Qing glared at her and said, "Stupid! On such a cold day, she is in the wind again, and it is difficult to ensure that she will not be frozen out of illness! Somehow, my throat is bad, understand? ”

Baozhu suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The slave understands." ”

There was a dull sound of sticks outside the house, and Concubine Qing listened pleasantly, showing a satisfied smile.

After only twenty strokes, Concubine Li had already fainted, and Baozhu poured her throat-destroying medicine while she was fainting. The medicine is not dumb, it just destroys the vocal cords and makes a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

Concubine Li was choked awake, Concubine Qing swayed in front of her, and said with a soft smile: "If you continue to fight, I'm afraid your life will be gone, and this palace doesn't want to have a ruthless reputation!" Since you have had enough of the punishment, this palace will spare you. The remaining twenty sticks, that's it. However, if you are still so disobedient in the future, you will have to suffer from those twenty sticks! ”

Li Concubine struggled to speak, but she found that the words she said with all her might were very unpleasant. She has always been very confident in her voice, and the emperor also said that her singing voice is beautiful, but ...... But now...... Her eyes were first frightened, then hateful, and then glared at Concubine Qing as if she was going to eat people, and in that look, it seemed like she was about to drip blood.

Concubine Qing didn't care, waved her handkerchief, and said, "The palace still wants to give the queen mother a life, and you still don't send Concubine Li back?" She stayed in the tuyere for a long time, and she was beaten again, and listened, her throat was frozen. Send it back to raise, don't freeze your bones too, the emperor may want her to serve in the future! ”

Concubine Qing said that the clouds were light and light, but Concubine Li knew that she originally entered the palace as a singer, and the emperor favored her, and it was nothing more than because of her singing. Now that her vocal cords have been destroyed and she can no longer sing, how can the emperor come to favor her again?

Two palace people came over and dragged her back, but she couldn't walk, allowing her legs, which were numb to pain, dragged a long blood mark on the ground.

Concubine Qing walked away proudly, not caring at all about the resentful gaze behind her.

The place soon regained its calm, no one noticed, hidden behind the laurel tree, that beautiful figure, and that quiet and cold eyes.
