Chapter 146: Old Injuries Recur
Tian Zhaorong and Zhao Xian were desperately kneeling in front of Nan Jingpei, listless, as if they had lost their souls. Nan Jingpei glanced at Tian Zhaorong and sneered secretly in his heart. He had long suspected Tian's children, but because of Shen Yunzhen, he had never delved into the matter, but now that this matter has reached the point of being out of control, he has to take care of it if he doesn't want to.
"Come east, go to the dormitory and bring the child over." He said lightly.
Donglai answered, went to the small bed in the side hall of Yuxiu Palace and hugged the baby, he was sleepy, and was suddenly disturbed, crying out of breath. Tian's heart suddenly tightened when he heard the child crying.
"You dogs and men." Nan Jingpei squinted at Tian Zhaorong, revealing coldness in contempt.
"Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine's explanation, the concubine made a big mistake after being confused. These things have nothing to do with others, if you want to punish the concubine, you will punish the concubine alone, don't pursue the concubine's mother's family, the concubine begs you! ”
She made this set of words in one go, and when she heard it, she knew that she had weighed it many times in her heart before she could blurt it out.
Nan Jingpei sneered, even if you want to steal someone, you should choose a good one, how can you look at Zhao Xian such a wreck? Tian Zhaorong dared to act boldly, but her concubine shrank her head and shrunk her tail, this Zhao Xian. The more Nan Jingpei looked at it, the more he hated it, he used a virtuous character in his name, and everything he did was disloyal and unfilial.
"Come to the east, spread my will, Zhao Xian, the guard of Yuxiu Palace, his hands and feet are not clean, he steals chickens and dogs, and he will be sentenced to death by Ling Chi."
Ling Chi was the most cruel punishment in the court, which was to be completed in three days, and the person was cut into 3,600 pieces, no more, no less, and the prisoner was not allowed to die during this period. He wanted to see himself neatly laid out on a plate, and see his white bones and internal organs slowly oxidize under the erosion of the air.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life! Ask the emperor to spare the life of a dog! Zhao Xian suddenly cried.
Where Zhao Xian was dragged out, two shallow scratches were left. Tian Zhaorong was a little desperate, she was blind and fell in love with such a spineless man. He hit the emperor's knife edge in a daze, just like he climbed into her bed in a daze.
"Give this kid with him to Captain Yeting." Nan Jingpei rubbed his eyebrows: "I'm tired, and the decree will be postponed by two hours tomorrow morning and changed to noon." If there is any major state event, it will be submitted to the internal history. ”
He only took a few steps before he was pounced on by Tian Zhaorong: "Your Majesty, the emperor's concubine begs you, let the child go, he is innocent." Everything is the fault of the concubine, you have to kill or punish, and the concubine bears it alone. ”
Naturally, he wanted to punish her, but he hadn't decided whether to kill or imprison. Tian Zhaorong's tears rippled, and the pear blossoms brought rain, but in his opinion, it couldn't arouse his slightest pity. Perhaps infected by the mother's crying, the baby also cried so hard that it seemed to be trying its best to howl. The body is small, but the strength is great, like a straight carp, trying to break free from the arms of Donglai.
Nan Jingpei was upset by the mother and son crying, and suddenly roared angrily: "Come from the east! Put these two bastards on death row for me! ”
The arrow wound on his back had not yet healed, and such a big attack undoubtedly caused the old wound to recur, and he only felt a sharp pain on his back like a crack, sweeping through his body, and instantly draining all the strength in his body. The light and shadow in front of him gradually dissolved into a blur, and gradually turned into tiny specks of light, and darkness swept towards him like a tide. He shook a few times and fell on his back.
"Your Majesty!" Donglai suddenly threw away the baby and pounced on him to help him. Tian Zhaorong snatched the baby over and hugged it tightly in his arms. When the internal guards heard the shouting, they rushed in and carried the emperor back to the sedan chair.
"Pass on the Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
Donglai hurriedly walked out, and no one could take care of this poor mother and son. Tian Zhaorong held the child in one hand, and grabbed the corner of Donglai's clothes with a crawl: "Father-in-law, ask my father-in-law for help and help me pass on a message to Concubine Liang." ”
Donglai suddenly cooled down and stared at her for a while: "Tian Zhaorong, you did it yourself, don't drag others into the water again, right?" ”
"She'......"
Donglai's eyes had the taste of these coercion, and Tian choked for a while, and finally understood. Concubine Liang is the tip of the emperor's heart, and anything that is unfavorable to her should not appear.
"I just want to beg Concubine Liangniang, save my child, I don't have any other thoughts, father-in-law, I confessed my sin, I should have confessed a long time ago, but the child is innocent."
Donglai sneered: "I said Tian Zhaorong, are you dizzy?" Concubine Liang and the emperor are in love, so they naturally have to think about the emperor's reputation. Why did she save your little bastard? The emperor is so angry with you that the old injury has relapsed, do you still want to make Concubine Liang Niangniang sick? I think you should think about how to ask the emperor for guilt, think about your mother's family, and think about how many people you have to implicate. ”
……
Nan Jingpei was hurriedly carried back to the warm pavilion of the imperial study, and Donglai took off his clothes for him, only to find that the cracked blood had soaked half of his bedclothes, and his entire back was soaked with blood. He was awakened by the pain, and the white medicine that stopped the bleeding sand the wound painfully, and he clenched his fists tightly, squeaking his knuckles.
Wang Pintang secretly wiped a cold sweat, he didn't know why the emperor was so angry, but he didn't dare to ask.
"Who's out there?" Nan Jingpei asked through gritted teeth.
Wang Pintang glanced out and said in a low voice: "It's Concubine Liangniang who is here, and the east comes to say that there is a lot of blood in the room, so I didn't let Niangniang come in for fear of scaring Niangniang." ”
"Let her go back, I'll be fine." He lay on the soft pillow, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain. Wang Pintang replied softly, and then heard Nan Jingpei say: "Find a few proper minions and send them back." ”
Wang Pintang was stunned for a moment, this Lantai Palace and the imperial study are only five or six hundred meters apart, and they are all blue bricks and flat ground, and they are just a walk. Why bother sending someone back? He didn't understand what Nan Jingpei was worried about, but he felt that he wouldn't tell in vain, so he answered softly.
He went to the door and passed the word, and said to Donglai: "The emperor told you to go in." ”
Nan Jingpei held Donglai's hand and drank a mouthful of the decoction to stop bleeding, the decoction was bitter, and the bitter tongue was numb, but there was a moment of soberness, as if someone had covered your forehead with a cold handkerchief, refreshing.
"Tian is her old friend, if she knew about the Tian family's east window incident, she would have to make a move, but what that person wants is for her to make a move, and this matter is simply against her."
Donglai lowered his eyes slightly, his thoughts coincided with the emperor, the Tian family was not favored, and the child was not favored. Who would take such two people in their eyes? Their target must be Shen Yunzhen, who is behind the Tian family. They expected that something would happen to the Tian family, and Shen Yunzhen would inevitably intercede for her, thus angering Sheng Yan.
"Also," he squeezed Donglai's hand vigorously: "The little palace maid who came to report the news today is very strange, not like someone from Yuxiu Palace, someone must have deliberately lured me to see this." You find out who this person is. ”
"Yes. The minions remembered. ”
Some people want to muddy the waters and get the most out of them, but it is not known who this person is. Anyone in this palace can be jealous of Concubine Liang, and it may also be the one who sent the palace maid to report the news. Donglai bit his lip, looking for a little palace maid in this huge harem is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
When Nan Jingpei slept peacefully, Donglai dared to withdraw from the warm pavilion, and arranged a proper little palace maid to serve inside. The night wind blew him shivering, he wrapped his clothes tightly, and only heard Wang Pintang beside him whisper: "It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop." ”
Donglai sneered disapprenously: "This is just a long-term illness, and sooner or later it will have to be turned out." Eh, if you doctors encounter this kind of thing, how do you usually treat it? ”
Wang Pintang sighed, since it is Shen Ke, there is very little reason to be cured, and it can be suppressed for a while.
"What the hell is going on?" He looked at Donglai with some curiosity.
Donglai frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "There are some things that you don't know the best, hold it in your heart, and never ask." ”
Donglai pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the court, he had only heard of the horrific picture of Ling Chi's execution, and heard that sometimes, before the execution was over, the executioner was frightened crazy. He stared at the dark and endless night sky, and a trace of wind passed in his ears, bringing a terrible scream.
It's miserable, but it deserves it. It had been many years since Captain Ye Tingwei had received Ling Chi's will, and he was still a little surprised to hear that Ling Chi had been executed today. But when he heard the eunuch say that this man was only guilty of stealing chickens and dogs, he was a little suspicious in his heart. As a rule of thumb, this person must have committed the crime of deceiving the king before he was sentenced to death.
Zhao Xian had been stripped naked and tied to the cross naked, his head drooping, his eyes were dull and he was half dead. The corners of his lips were still covered with turquoise bile, falling on his bare body one by one.
Captain Ye frowned, this prisoner was already frightened.
The executioner plunged into the meat one by one, removing the next piece of meat of equal size. Every time he stabbed a piece, Zhao Xian would scream miserably, and within a few slashes, he fainted, was woken up by cold water, and continued to cut meat.
It's really tragic, Captain Ye Tingwei couldn't recognize his tongue, and asked the eunuch in a low voice: "What did he steal?" ”
The eunuch glanced at him angrily and whispered, "A woman who shouldn't be stolen." ”
The woman who shouldn't have been stolen was put on death row, and it was the first time in her life that she had come to such a gloomy and terrifying place. The jailer threw a blood-red gown with the word death printed on it to her: "Change it!" ”
The baby in his arms was still crying desperately, Tian hugged him tightly, the place was very cloudy, cold and damp, and the walls could almost seep water. She could see that the child was hungry, but she had no milk, so she could only lift her clothes and let the child bite and see. The baby was so hungry that he tried desperately to pull out, but only sucked out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"My poor son......"
