Chapter Twenty-Eight: Punishment and Deliverance

Where would Qingyi have expected such a situation, seeing Concubine Rong so angry, she knelt down busily, and hurriedly said, "Concubine Rong, concubine doesn't know what you're talking about?" If the concubine collides with you, please forgive me! ”

Rong Concubine waved her hand lightly, and the maid Shuangwen Wenyan hugged the ball, Rong Concubine took it easily, as if she was extremely pitying, took the rabbit gently, and gently hugged it in her arms, and said: "Originally, this rabbit is just a small thing, and it is not like a human being with thoughts, even if it collides with people, it is inevitable." But! ”

Concubine Rong changed her words and replied: "But! This palace is afraid, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will use this rabbit to instruct him to hurt people, if this is the case, it is really not good. ”

"Is Niangniang suspicious of concubines? The concubines didn't dare to kill them. ”

Liwen beside Concubine Rong was only teasing the little rabbit with Concubine Rong on the side, and when she heard Qingyi say this, she said softly: "Don't dare, Zhang Niangzi, our Niangniang is not this consciousness!" It's just that you, the rabbit, did something wrong and scratched Su Xiu's skirt of Concubine Rong's new dress. This is what His Majesty rewarded a while ago! When she said the last sentence, Liwen's face was already extremely proud, and the ostentatious air in her tone was clear and audible.

"Niangniang, it's all the fault of the concubine, it's the concubine who didn't raise this little rabbit well, and I ask the concubine to forgive her sins."

"Mrs. Zhang, why don't you understand? Our mother is the most kind, and she will definitely not be dissatisfied with this little thing. It's just that the things given by His Majesty have been damaged, and even the mother can't afford it! If Your Majesty asks back, you say, how should our mother explain? After Li Wen said that, she slapped her palm lightly twice, only to see a palace maid holding a tray. Liwen reached out and picked up the skirt on the tray, shook it slightly, and displayed it in front of Qingyi.

Qingyi took a closer look, and saw that there was a big hole at the bottom of the bright red Suzhou embroidered spring flower-like pleated Ruyi moon skirt, and there were still silk strands of fabric connected between the holes, and it seemed that only the extremely strong force of the bite would cause such traces. However, even if it is clear, although the rabbit sometimes goes crazy and bites things and causes destruction, even if the bite force is strong, it will never be like this. Then there is only one to take it, and there is a sleeve waiting for you behind it.

Qingyi calmed down, and her heart calmed down a lot, "Concubine Rong, the concubine didn't mean it." This rabbit is not intentional, and please forgive the mother! If you damage your clothes, the concubine will compensate according to it! ”

Concubine Rong thought about it, and only smiled on her face: "Zhang Cairen deserves to be the newly promoted position!" This His Majesty personally sealed it, but it is different, but it has confidence! ”

"It's a pity!" Concubine Rong smiled coldly: "This imperial gift is unique in the world!" Where are you going to accompany you? The more Concubine Rong spoke, the more ruthless her face became, and her tone became more and more harsh.

Qingyi knew that Concubine Rong would embarrass herself, but she was choked by Concubine Rong for a while, and she didn't know what to say, but Concubine Rong smiled lightly: "If Sister Zhang wants to give up, it's okay." Originally, it wasn't your fault that you choked, sister! In the final analysis, this mistake is also attributed to ......" Concubine Rong glanced at the dumplings lightly and said, "It's all the fault of this animal!" That's it, this palace has to teach this rabbit to bear the mistake! ”

Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and only looked at Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong became more and more proud, and said to everyone fiercely: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you peel off this rabbit? ”

When everyone heard Rong Concubine's words, they rushed forward to gather in one place to take the rabbit from Rong Concubine's arms, one pressed the ball to the ground, one took a knife from elsewhere, and the other brought a basin of hot water, as if it was ready, it was for Qingyi to scare Qingyi.

Qingyi looked at it, and her heart was flustered, so she also lost her mind, walked to Concubine Rong on her knees, and pleaded: "Concubine Rong, it's all the fault of the concubine, and the concubine can't control the small things she raises." also asked the mother to punish the concubine, but this rabbit doesn't understand anything, and it must not have a heart. Please forgive your sins, don't worry about this rabbit! If you are angry in your heart, you can punish your concubines! ”

Concubine Rong didn't need to look at Qingyi with a straight face at all, she only said in a weird manner: "How dare this palace punish my sister!" You are a talented person personally promoted by His Majesty, if this palace punishes you, then won't Your Majesty blame this palace? This palace only dares to be angry with this rabbit! Rong Concubine Fu urged the palace people serving below to hurry up.

In response to Concubine Rong's words, everyone hurriedly stepped forward with a posture of wanting to do something to the rabbit, and a few palace people came over and held down Qingyi and Qiu Niang, for fear that Qing Yi and Qiu Niang would come forward to stop it.

Qingyi was held down, but seeing that the group was under the blade, he couldn't care about it, so he only used his elbow to fight back, and broke free from control while the two palace maids were unprepared. She quickly ran to the group and stepped forward to snatch the knife in her hand from the palace people, "Niangniang's forgiveness is all the fault of the concubine's poor upbringing!" However, I am afraid that it is not wise for you to be angry with the little rabbit like this, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will know about it, and you will not be able to afford it! ”

Seeing this, Concubine Rong gently outlined a smile that would not be noticed by people at the corner of her mouth, and immediately returned to the extremely angry fairy weather: "Someone! Zhang Cairen roared at Weiyang Palace late at night, his words were disrespectful and he was holding a sword in his hand, intending to plot against this palace, so he didn't hurry up and catch her!"

As soon as the words fell, more people came forward to surround Qingyi and Qiu Niang's master and servant, Qingyi used all his strength, and he was no match for those palace maids and eunuchs with huge strength, so he had to be captured like this.

"Zhang Cairen is disrespectful to the palace, and he still wants to use knives and guns! Hongu is categorically unbearable! It's not a full punishment yet!" Concubine Rong's voice became louder and louder.

The so-called foot punishment is to take a thick Xichang wooden board and beat the heart part of the foot under the feet of the palace dependents. The heart of the foot is the more fragile part of the human body, and the use of thick wooden planks to beat it with force will undoubtedly damage the vitality of the person, and the palace family is more delicate, according to the punishment of the punishment, a punishment is undoubtedly the same as murder.

Qiu Niang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly begged Rong Concubine: "Rong Concubine Niangniang, our lady is unintentional!" She didn't mean to run into you! You don't care about the villain, so you forgive our lady!"

Concubine Rong didn't look at it, but said arrogantly: "Isn't Fang Cai still very bold?" Now begging for mercy? It's too late!" She cleared her throat and said, "Zhang Cairen disrespectfully instructed the beasts he raised to collide with the palace, and he wanted to use a knife to be unfavorable to the palace!" Even if this palace is stupid, it can't bear it! Let's give Hongu a good fight! You can't stop until this has a pair of feet!"

Concubine Rong ordered, and immediately two inner prisoners stepped forward with wooden boards, and two middle-aged elders stepped forward to take off Qingyi's shoes and socks and began to punish them.

Another point, the pain of foot punishment is abnormal, and to take off the shoes and socks of the palace maid's relatives to expose the jade feet in front of people, this dynasty has always believed in Cheng Zhu Lijiao, and has always had very high requirements for women, so bare feet in front of people, it is naked humiliation.

Qingyi was struggling to the death, but the inner prison who held her down was already extremely strong, and only pressed her legs hard, and the two palace maids took advantage of the situation to take off Qingyi's shoes and socks. For a while, the pair of snow-white jade feet were revealed in front of people, and Qingyi only felt that her feet were cold, and she was actually poured cold water.

Concubine Rong's eyes closed slightly, yawned, and said lazily: "I'm really sleepy this day!" Let's do it! Hongu is sleepy! Don't want to wait any longer!"

Rong Concubine spoke, where did everyone dare to disobey? In the blink of an eye, Qingyi's feet were already hit with two heavy planks.

The moment the plank touched the skin, it was undoubtedly a pain in the heart. Although Qingyi is not a pampered person, but now that she has been a concubine for a long time, she is also very well maintained. Now that Zhou's body is finely skinned and tender, how can he withstand such a toss? Even twice, I felt that half a life was gone.

Qingyi endured the pain, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart also jumped up, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she only said to Concubine Rong: "If the concubine is at fault, the mother should be punished." It's just that if the mother convicts the concubine with just one mouth, then she really convinces people with virtue instead of oppressing people with a high position! If it is spread like this, everyone will praise you for your virtue!"

Although Concubine Rong was domineering, she was not stupid, she naturally heard the meaning behind these words, and immediately became a little more angry, only pointing at Qingyi and scolding: "You! Death is on the verge of unrepentance! If this palace doesn't kill you today, this Weiyang Palace won't have to sleep peacefully!" After saying that, she glared at the first few executioners with her eyes, and said, "Hurry up for this palace!" All with great effort! Didn't you have any meals?" The anger on that face, which was almost like a mountain of flames, could clearly illuminate half of the sky of the entire Western Sixth Palace, as clear as day.

Qingyi was still able to have some spirit, but after a long time, even the iron body couldn't stand it, and he gradually lost consciousness, only to feel that his strength and reason were gone with the beating of the wooden plank.

Half-awake and half-dizzy, Qingyi only felt that he was being picked up by a pair of extremely powerful hands, and then he fell into an extremely strong and powerful embrace. It was like a phantom in despair, and she seemed to see the former young man, who was riding a horse towards her.

He always has such a beautiful smile on his face, and he comes slowly and leisurely on a white horse. Immediately, his face changed, and he hurriedly dismounted, quickly ran to him, and picked himself up at once.

The most powerful, the warmest. For a moment, Qingyi's mind was not clear, and he slowly closed his eyes, with a shallow satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Rong shouted almost silently.

"I'm very disappointed with Concubine Rong!" Li Chun hugged Qingyi and strode towards the Weiyang Gate, only to turn around and say to Concubine Rong. Immediately, he continued walking.
