Chapter 6: Concubine Wu

"Auntie, when I handed over the Jinpa to you yesterday, you checked it, and if I hurt you, what good will it do me?"

In the cold palace, in addition to this embroidery work, I can maintain my livelihood, not to mention that I can't do anything else, I have no way at all.

The power of this line is in the hands of Aunt Liu, and if I offend her, I won't end well.

Aunt Liu should also want to know this, but she still yelled at me knowing the reason: "Bai Qing, I know that you have powerful methods, and you will also be able to obstruct your eyes, like you Jiang Guo's demon concubine, if you don't have demon skills, how can you be good when I check Jinpa, and when I take it out and sell it, it will be rotten?" ”

Aunt Liu pushed me again, but I frowned but couldn't argue.

My name as a demon queen is because I look like a demon and a country and a city, not because I know what kind of witchcraft.

Aunt Liu knows, but what else can I say if she is forceful?

"No matter what you do, since this Jinpa is from you, you must be responsible for it to the end."

She kicked Jinpa at my feet, pointed at me and yelled: "If you don't change well within three days, don't say that I Liu Fengyun is ruthless at that time, you won't be able to eat a full meal in the Yuanyuan, hum!" ”

She left angrily, not wanting to hear anything more from me.

Looking at her distant back, I knew that she was a straightforward paper tiger, except for a little love of money, in fact, she was not a wicked person at all.

That's why I'm going to take over from her, because it won't be long before she's going to be a great help to me in the cold palace.

I picked up all the brocade and counted them, and there were 11 of them.

Yesterday, I handed over 30 to Aunt Liu, and almost half of the Jinpa was torn, which really surprised me.

I raised my eyes again and looked at the courtyard, Xiaohuan had already heard the movement and hurriedly ran out.

Looking at her light body and quick movements, I really didn't expect that there was such a master hidden by my side.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Xiaohuan ran in front of me, looking at the direction of Aunt Liu's journey.

She pretended to be ignorant, but I could see her nervousness.

"It's okay, I guess Aunt Liu deliberately made trouble for me and tore Jinpa apart and asked me to rework."

I said this on purpose to reassure Xiaohuan.

"Hmph, the people in this good palace just think that we are easy to bully, just an aunt from the seventh grade, who dares to climb on the head of the mother to spread wild, I am really angry."

Xiaohuan stared at me and hugged me, I didn't bother to watch her act, and walked into the room quietly.

"It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, right?"

"Hmm!"

Xiaohuan helped me clean up the mattress, and turned his back to me in response, avoiding my gaze.

She didn't know that I didn't come home all night last night, and she didn't see that I slept in bed, but I did it on purpose. If she had been more clever, she would have seen that I had come back from outside, because I was still wearing a cloak, and if I was called out by Aunt Liu, I wouldn't have had time to straighten myself out early in the morning.

Unfortunately, she was too nervous to observe me.

"Let's go!"

I took the lead and walked out of the door towards the prison department in the cold palace.

We, the concubines in the cold palace, are all guilty concubines, so we have to accept a certain punishment on every designated day.

This is the rule of the cold palace, and no one is an exception.

Cold Palace, Criminal Prison Division.

Before I entered, I saw a gray-haired old woman walking into the torture chamber with a gold cane.

There are many flowers around her, and at a glance, there are no less than eight palace maids.

These palace maids are wearing brocade cotton that should be worn by first-class palace maids in the harem, and if they are replaced by ordinary aunts in the cold palace, they will either be cut corners or changed fabrics.

I can see so many big palace maids here still serving an old man, if she has no background, it can only be said that I have no eyesight.

"Niangniang, she is Concubine Wu, the adoptive mother of today's saint!" Xiaohuan leaned close to me and whispered.

I looked at Concubine Wu's back again, and then I realized that it was Xuanyuan Yi's adoptive mother, as far as I know, Xuanyuan Yi's biological mother died early, and Concubine Wu succeeded Xuanyuan Yi because she had no children under her knees.

In this good palace, people who know this concubine Wu say that she was a generation of concubines and was deeply favored by the emperor, but they don't know why, and suddenly one day they offended the emperor, everyone only knew that this matter was related to Xuanyuan Yi, but they didn't know why.

However, I also know that since Xuanyuan Yi ascended the throne, he would come to the cold palace every month to greet this concubine, and he also had great respect for her.

I hesitated for a moment, strode over like a meteor, got a sign after reporting the name of the female officer, and walked into the torture chamber.

Looking sideways, I saw Concubine Wu sitting upright on the chair next to her, with a graceful expression and a good complexion.

She closed her eyes and said something in her mouth, and the Buddhist beads in her hand walked by one by one, as if everything that happened next to her could not disturb her.

Around her, there were also four palace maids standing, surrounding her in the shape of a 'mouth'.

On the execution platform, there were also four palace maids, but around them was a peacock brocade robe embroidered with a gold and black background.

"You can be careful, this dress was just made by the concubine, if it is broken, you can't afford it." The palace maid standing next to the brocade robe gave a fierce warning.

I really didn't expect the eunuch in charge of punishment here to be so careful when administering punishment.

They were sweating profusely, and they didn't even dare to breathe for breath, for fear that they would lose their lives if they broke the garment.

My eyes moved to a wall behind the torture chamber, where there was a wooden cross with a woman with a haggard appearance and messy hair tied to it.

She was flogged, and her pale blue clothes had more than a dozen blood marks printed on them.

It seems that her punishment is not light, to say the least, there should be more than twenty lashes.

I walked two steps and found that the woman's phoenix eyes were closed and motionless, and she should have passed out.

And her eunuch in charge of the punishment didn't know how to sneak a glance at the concubine Wu behind her, carrying a bucket in her hand, and bounced a little water at the woman's face.

I didn't pay much attention, and walked directly to a eunuch who was in charge of punishment, and handed him the penalty card in my hand.

The little eunuch lowered his head and deliberately didn't look at me, and when he saw that I was still handing over the sign, he glared at me with a look of 'you are so uninteresting'.

I smiled slightly, lowered my eyebrows and whispered: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I only have ten boards, and I can still bear it." ”

With that, I climbed onto the bench and grabbed the edge of the bench with my fingers to give myself some strength.

The eunuch had no choice but to raise the staff and hit me between my waist and hips.

He was merciful, because he was afraid that I would not be able to eat and make a noise. But he is in charge of the board all the year round, and the kung fu of the eunuch who is in charge of the board is also practiced as pure as fire, even if the board is not loud, but each board can open the skin and flesh of the person.

Xiaohuan stood in front of me and counted me, and when I counted to seven, I probably saw blood stains oozing from my clothes, and exclaimed in fright, 'Seven-'.

I was so painful that I couldn't speak, so I forcibly raised my head and made a boo gesture at Xiaohuan.

Fortunately, the ten boards passed in one fell swoop, and by the time I climbed down from the bench, Concubine Wu's punishment had already been completed.

I saw her slowly stand up with the support of the palace maid, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and after glancing at me and showing a sneer, I left the torture room.

With a bang, the eunuch in charge of the back wall poured a whole bucket of water on the head of the flogging woman, and the whip had already fallen on her body before the woman was fully conscious.

"Ahh

I shuddered at the heart-rending screams, and I looked back at her hideous face, but I only glanced at it, and walked straight out of the torture cell.

"Concubine Jiang!"

Outside the Criminal Prison Division, Concubine Wu left a palace maid behind, and made a gesture of invitation when she saw me.

In fact, I have long seen that Concubine Wu will summon me, even if I don't appear in the Criminal Prison Department just now, it will be a matter of time before I meet her.

"The concubine wants to see you, please ask Concubine Jiang to come with the slave."

The palace maid led the way in front and led me to the easternmost part of the cold palace.

It has excellent natural light and a large courtyard, making it the best place to live in the cold palace - Fukka-in.
