Chapter 189: Imprisonment (4)
Lan Ruo laughed angrily and said, "Abuse of lynching? What evidence do you have that Hongu abused lynching? Don't say that this palace is useless, even if it is used, what do you think you are now? Qiao'er, teach her a lesson-" Qiao'er stepped forward when she heard this, and the palace people around her understood, and immediately stepped forward to restrain Ruyi and He Xi, Ruyi wanted to protect He Xi's side, but the force behind her made her unable to move, she hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the palace dispatches palace people, although there is a master's command, but it should also be assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, you are so unruly, you-"
Before the words fell, there was a solid slap on the face, and the grandmother said angrily: "Bold, what identity do you think you are, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of the queen?" β
The strength of the grandmother was extremely strong, Ruyi's face swelled up in an instant, she struggled desperately, and on the other side, Qiao'er also walked in front of He Xi and said, "Little master, I have offended." β
Saying that, he slapped He Xi in the face, He Xi turned his head and stared at Lan Ruo, the coldness of his eyes made Lan Ruo have an illusion for a moment, as if he knew her, He Xi said word by word: "Queen Mother, you also beat the concubine, can you return the ugly child to the concubine?" β
Where had Lan Ruo seen He Xi look so humble, she felt comfortable in her heart, and suddenly said: "It depends on how the palace is in a mood, Qiao'er, continue-"
When Qiao'er heard this, she pursed her lips, raised her hand and slapped her two times, He Xi only felt that her head was buzzing, and her mouth was also fishy, she didn't say a word, and said to Lan Ruo: "Please also ask the queen to let go of the uglyββ"
Lan Ruo suddenly hesitated, she had already checked He Xi's identity, but Chou'er was just a maidservant, no one had paid attention to it, what her father said, someone had seen Chou'er in southern Xinjiang, which aroused her suspicions, but He Xi is now so maintained, if it is really a person from Mu Wangfu, why is she so reckless?
Qiao'er saw that Lan Ruo didn't speak, so she raised her hand, and slapped her hard, He Xi endured it, Chou'er is still in Lan Ruo's hands now, since she came back this time, she has not hated her powerlessness so much.
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fuqing saw the little eunuch coming in a hurry, and he said in a low voice: "What's the matter, panicked, Your Majesty is reviewing the folds, if you disturb it, see if I don't punish you?" β
The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Manager Fu, the slave is from Chuxiu Palace, and there is something to bother my father-in-law to say." β
Saying that, he got closer and said in Fuqing's ear, Fuqing's face changed greatly, and said, "But really? β
The little eunuch said: "How dare the slave lie about this matter, our little master said that only my father-in-law can save the little master-"
Fuqing waved his hand and pondered for a long time, Xu is voice was a little louder, and Tuoba Chen in the inner hall heard it, and raised his voice: "Who is outside?" β
Fuqing's face changed, and he glanced at the little eunuch, the little eunuch understood, retreated, Fuqing straightened his cuffs, and turned around and entered the hall.
He stood aside with his hands down, and did not speak, and when Tuoba Chen saw him standing far away, he said, "What happened?" Fuqing smiled wryly: "Are you arguing with Your Majesty?" The slave should be damned, it's just a few little eunuchs chewing the root of their tongues, and the slaves have already reprimanded them. β
Tuoba Chen put down the pen in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Since when did you dare to deceive me?" β
Fuqing hurriedly knelt down and said repeatedly: "The slave doesn't dare." Tuoba Chen said: "Don't dare to say, what happened?" β
Fuqing peeked at Tuoba Chen's expression and said, "A few people just said that something happened to Weiyang Palace, and the little master Xi went to ask for someoneββ"
Tuoba Chen frowned, and said, "Why is she again-"
There was some complaint in his tone, and there was some helplessness, hearing Tuoba Chen say this, Fuqing's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "It's just a big deal left and right, it's just that the little lord Xi is still grounded, without His Majesty's will, he left the Autumn Dew Hall without permission, I'm afraid that the queen mother will not let it go easily." β
Tuoba Chen glanced at Fuqing, Fuqing's heart that had just been put down was raised again, he knew that Tuoba Chen had always been suspicious, and he changed his words and said: "It's just that I heard that the cause was the ugly slave with the mask." β
Tuoba Chen rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "What the hell is going on, tell me everything you know." β
Fuqing answered, and then said 1510, and after speaking, he was like a bystander, and he was silent.
Tuoba Chen was suspicious: "Why is the queen suddenly interested in what Jiangnan?" Besides, if you really want to know, just summon the cabinet bachelor, what can a palace maid know? β
Because of the affairs in Shuzhong, Tuoba Chen was already a little dissatisfied with the queen, in his opinion, half of Tuoba Yue's current achievements are due to Lan Ruo's idea at that time.
Fuqing didn't dare to answer, for fear that he would leak a little emotion, Tuoba Chen stood up and said: "Let's go, go to Weiyang Palace to have a look, this harem is full of smoke and miasma all day long, how can my world be stable?" β
Fuqing said in a loud voice: "Drive Weiyang Palace-"
This night was destined to be an extraordinary night, but the little eunuch who had sent news to Fuqing before did not return to Chuxiu Palace, but spared a few circles and went from the trail to the back of a palace.
Flashed in, it was Xu Qing'er's Ice Spring Palace.
In the hall, Xu Qing'er was lighting a candle, holding her cheeks and not knowing what she was thinking.
The pothos walked over, moved the candle into the distance, and said, "Little master, be careful that the smoke of this candle smokes your eyes. β
Since Xu Qing'er's defeat, the whole person of Luluo has not carried forward the domineering temperament as before, but has become calm.
Xu Qing'er came back to her senses and said, "Li Yu is back?" As he was talking, he heard the voice of a little eunuch under the window: "Niangniang-"
Green pothos said: "Niangniang is talking about it, isn't this coming back-" Saying that, he got up and opened the door, Li Yu flashed in, knelt in front of Xu Qing'er respectfully and said: "The matter that Niangniang handed over to the slave, the slave has already done it, and the slave heard that His Majesty has gone to Weiyang Palace." β
Xu Qing'er nodded and said, "You did an excellent job, go down." β
Li Yu nodded, but did not move, and when the pothos saw this, she asked, "What, do you still want to ask for a reward from Niangniang?" β
Li Yu hurriedly shook his head and said: "The slave doesn't dare, it's just that the slave doesn't know anything, so he wants to ask the mother for guidanceββ"
Xu Qing'er relaxed, and her mood became much more friendly, she said: "You want to ask, why did I let you say that you are from Chuxiu Palace?" β
Li Yu nodded as acquiescence, Xu Qing'er sighed lightly and stood up, and the green pothos hurriedly stepped forward to help, her belly was already high and bulging, like a small hill on the flat ground.
Xu Qing'er said: "In this harem, there are eyes and ears everywhere, I let you go because of the mistakes made in this palace, but let you say that you are a person from Chuxiu Palace, it is also for self-protection." β
Li Yu thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized, he leaned down and said, "The slave has been taught, Xie Niangniang instructed." β
The corner of Xu Qing'er's mouth raised a smile and said, "Okay, let's go down." β
Green pothos helped Xu Qing'er to the bed, and she said: "But little master, why don't you let Xi Cairen know, at least she can receive this friendship." β
Xu Qing'er looked at the pothos and repeated: "Friendship? The word swirled in his lips and teeth, and he only felt bitter.
She seemed to say to Luluo, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Between us, where is there friendship at all, Luluo, if Sister He Xi is now favored, do you think the queen dares to detain the palace maid beside her?" β
Pothos is no longer talking.
The night can always cover up a lot, He Xi crouched on the ground of Weiyang Palace, and just repeated a sentence: "Please also ask the queen to return the ugly child to the concubine." β
Rao is Qiao'er who has been slapping He Xi, and she can't help but be a little moved, in this harem, she is used to holding high and stepping low, and the slave is more like a chess piece to the master, and when necessary, she will give it up in order to protect herself.
He Xi is like this, but she has never heard of it and never seen it. She took a step back, and as soon as the mother-in-law who was restraining Ruyi loosened her hand, Ruyi rushed up and hugged He Xi, her fingers gently wiped the blood from the corner of He Xi's lips, and cried: "Little master, how are you, little master?" β
Lan Ruo also got up slowly, He Xi pushed away Ruyi's support, forced herself to stand up straight, and said: "Queen Mother, I beat you too, and I punished you, can you give me back the ugly child?" β
From beginning to end, she was just repeating such a sentence, Lan Ruo was a little impatient, and suddenly, she said to Qiao'er: "Since Xicai people want to see that cheap maid like this, Qiao'er, bring people up, let them meet the master and servant, and there is someone to accompany you on the Huangquan Road." β
Qiao'er seemed to hesitate, Lan Ruo saw that Qiao'er was motionless, and urged: "What's the matter, don't you listen to the words of this palace?" β
Qiao'er looked embarrassed and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, it's justβjustβ"
She snorted, and seemed to have a lot of courage to say to Lan Ruo: "Niangniang, our people are a little heavier, and people are afraid that they are-"
Lan Ruo was stunned, she didn't expect this, but it was only a moment's work, she said: "You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death, so let's show Xicai people and bring them up." β
Qiao'er passed the order, and after a while, she heard the sound of chains behind her, and the cold chains rubbed against the rough bluestone floor, making a screeching sound.
He Xi turned around, and saw several people walking over with one person, the blood in her body froze at that moment, her mind was blank, she couldn't believe it was ugly. She even said that she didn't feel like it was a person.
Because there was no intact place on the body, the original pink palace clothes had been soaked red with blood, and they were barefoot, but the skin and flesh on the feet were turned out, and they were dragged over, leaving a long blood stain.
