In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Wuyao of the Great Liang, the Son of Heaven decreed that the daughter of Pei Xi, the Duke of Huaiguo, was hired as the crown princess, and she got married at the following year and entered the East Palace;

In the spring of the twentieth year, the East Palace rebelled against marriage.

At that time, the king of Qin Xiao chased the prince Xiao Di to compete for the throne, and at the end of the year, the emperor abolished the king of Chu on the grounds that the prince was not governed. Before long, the daughter of Pei Gong was reinstated as the princess of Qin, and the king of Qin ascended to Yong, changed to Yanping, and Princess Pei became the queen.

In the fourth year of Yan Ping, Empress Pei had a difficult birth, collapsed in Changqiu Palace, and his son also died.

The monarch mourns, and the whole country mourns.

Three years later.

Pei Yaowei woke up from the severe pain all over her body.

Since she lost her breath in the Changqiu Palace that year, her soul has been subject to a nameless force, trapped in a sword, and almost unaware of external objects.

Trapped in such heart-wrenching pain, she couldn't escape, and gradually, she even thought that the sword was hell, and she had to trap herself for an eternal life, but now, she ......

What's going on here?

"Dare to play dead?! Kneel for me! ”

The sinister drink came down from the front not far away, Pei Yao knelt on the ground, moved her eyelids with difficulty, and a few rays of sunlight took advantage of the situation, stabbing her dizzy.

The wind in the court was bone-chilling, and the snow was piled up into a mountain, but it was the color of the world.

But, who rules the world here?

Is it difficult to be like this...... Is it alive again?

As soon as this ridiculous idea came to her mind, she unconsciously sneered and blurted out, "How is this possible......

Before he could finish speaking, he was whipped on his back.

"Hiss——!"

The whip-wielding mother-in-law was behind her, pulling her hair like a yaksha and asking, "Poor hoof, what are you muttering about?" Isn't it resentful and cursed?! ”

Thanks to her pull, Pei Yao took advantage of her strength to straighten up.

Ten steps away from the corridor, there is a charcoal basin warm couch, a woman committed to the couch, wrapped like a live mink, clearly beautiful complexion, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows always have some shrewdness of a small family, which makes people look away and annoying.

Still, she recognized who the woman was.

——The stepwife of the Duke of Jiyang County, Zuo.

When she was still in Changqiu, this Mrs. Zuo went in and out of the harem, and also went to the middle palace several times to meet her.

Thinking of this, Pei Yaowei laughed again.

Seeing this, the maid on the side said: "Madam, look at her, she was caught secretly poisoning her sister-in-law, and now she is still laughing when she is punished, this is clearly provoking the majesty of your housewife!" ”

Another mother-in-law said: "The fifth girl was almost disfigured, she was good, she only knelt for an hour and pretended to be crazy and sick here, according to the old slave, that is, your heart is too kind, this punishment is so light, and it is not worthy of the arrogance of our four girls!" ”

"But I was negligent...... Mrs. Zuo opened her mouth lazily, looking at the people on the ground like ants: "Then according to you, what kind of punishment is there to be worthy of the noble status of the fourth girl?" ”

The people below peeked into the master's mind, and one by one they added fuel to the fire.

Pei Yaoyan was already dizzy, but now she was getting more and more headaches from the noise.

More than just headaches. When she saw her current situation clearly, she sighed in her heart, and she couldn't complain that she was in pain everywhere.

- In the snow, she was kneeling on a thorn-made mat, in which two iron rings were embedded, like shackles, and the man knelt on the mat, and fastened a pair of calves, and was so picturesquely imprisoned that he could not move.

When the previous dynasty revised the "History of Xiao Wall Punishment", he gave this sentence a rather unique name -

"Oh, the remnants of the red stream are green and ......"

Pei Yaowei sneered and looked at Mrs. Zuo, tried to move her legs, and sure enough, she didn't get anything but the sharp pain to the bone.

She asked: "Such a vicious punishment in the inner court, Queen Pei has already decreed that it will be abolished, and it is strictly ordered that no one will be allowed to see each other in the country, otherwise it will be punished as a crime of torture and murder, madam...... Don't you want to die? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zuo sat up and shouted with a vicious face: "Dead girl! Are you still dreaming? Can the remnants of that person protect you? ”

“…… Oh, don't say that Empress Renyi has been dead for many years, even if she is still alive - what are you? Still pointing out that the mud bodhisattva queen who has fallen out of favor can protect you? Haha, what a joke! ”

Pei Yao listened carefully to her words and couldn't help frowning.

It seems that 'Pei Yao' has indeed been dead for many years.

Listening to the words of these people, the owner of his current body should be the fourth girl of this Xiang family.

Four girls, that should be......

Together?

Pei Yao's heart moved, thinking, wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Mrs. Zuo was instructing her mother-in-law to bring other torture instruments, and she was determined to clean up this concubine who didn't know the height of the sky, but at this time, a mother-in-law outside the front door hurriedly ran in to report the news, saying that the prince suddenly came back!

Mrs. Zuo's face turned pale suddenly.

"Who?! Who are you talking about? ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Madam, it is indeed a good son, the old slave heard from the person who came back first that it was the emperor who decreed that the prince returned to Beijing, and now I am afraid that he has already entered the house!" ”

Mrs. Zuo pondered for a moment, glared at Pei Yaowei unwillingly, and ordered her subordinates to erase the traces of torture in the court, but in the end it was still a step too late.

The sound of the soles of the boots stepping on the snow stopped behind Pei Yao, blocking the cold wind that was coming.

"Ma'am."

It's the voice of a baby.

Pei Yaowei held back and didn't dare to raise his head.

Mrs. Zuo tried her best to hide her panic, and greeted her with a strong face: "Changchu, why did you come back suddenly?" It's a cold day, it's hard to walk on the road, right? ”

In the face of this prince, Mrs. Zuo not only did not dare to reprimand him for trespassing into the inner court, but also hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare hot soup and hot drinks for him.

Xiang Ying only said that he didn't have to.

He didn't speak, and everyone held their breath and stared, not daring to take half a step beyond the thunder pool.

Xiang Ying lowered his eyes and glanced at the person who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Madam, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has returned to Beijing, and the Queen Mother intends to hire a wife for Her Royal Highness, does Madam know which girl the Queen Mother has a crush on?"

Xiang Ying said, intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at the people on the ground again.

Pei Yaowei raised her head to meet this look, and was almost shocked.
