Concubine Lian's heart was happy, but the emperor recalled the fun of the two of them playing in the water in this Huaqing Pond in the past, and wanted to relive the scene at that time.

Concubine Lian sent a wave to Yin Huan, and said in a flattering voice: "The emperor still remembers the first encounter with the concubine, and the concubine is really happy in her heart. Your Majesty, do you want to come down and play with your concubines in this Huaqing Pool? ”

Yin Huan ignored Concubine Lian's hint invitation, and only said lightly: "It's cold today, don't let Concubine Ai freeze her body in this Huaqing Pool, come up." ”

Concubine Lian couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly waded through the water, walked to the edge of the pool, and was about to go ashore.

Yin Huan pressed Concubine Lian's head into the pool water after Concubine Lian walked to the edge of the pool, and no matter how Concubine Lian struggled, she was not allowed to float her head out of the water to breathe.

Concubine Lian didn't expect Yin Huan to treat her like this, Concubine Lian choked on a few mouthfuls of water, struggling to put her head out of the water to breathe, but was pressed by Yin Huan, Concubine Lian was in the water like this, and gradually the movements of the struggle became smaller and smaller.

Just as Concubine Lian's consciousness was gradually blurred, Yin Huan lifted her out of the water.

Concubine Lian took a big breath of fresh air, and after her consciousness gradually cleared up, Concubine Lian looked at Yin Huan with wide eyes in horror.

Yin Huan looked at Concubine Lian expressionlessly, as if it was not him who had just set out to kill Concubine Lian.

Yin Huan's voice couldn't hear the emotion, and said to Concubine Lian: "It's cold, Concubine Ai should feel extremely cold when she stays in this pool, I will warm up Concubine Ai's body, okay?" ”

Of course, Concubine Lian wouldn't believe that Yin Huan really wanted to kill herself one second, and the next second she would care about herself and warm herself up.

Concubine Lian begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... You spare the concubine......"

Yin Huan said: "What did Concubine Ai do wrong, and do you need my forgiveness?" ”

Yin Huan turned his head to the eunuch who was standing a few steps away and said, "Bring me the lantern in your hand." ”

Concubine Lian had a faint premonition of what Yin Huan was going to do next, but she could only murmur and beg: "Your Majesty...... You spare the concubine......"

Yin Huan ignored Concubine Lian's pleas for mercy, took the lantern handed over by the eunuch, removed the lantern cover, and took out the candle inside the lantern.

Concubine Lian instinctively wanted to leave the edge of Huaqing Pond and retreat, but Yin Huan didn't give her this opportunity, pulled Concubine Lian closer, and burned the flame on the candle to Concubine Lian's jade hand.

Concubine Lian's slender white fingers were curled up by the heat, desperately trying to pull her hand away from Yin Huan's hand.

Yin Huan grabbed Concubine Lian's wrist tightly and scalded the back of her hand.

The flames danced in Yin Huan's pupils, and Yin Huan's eyes carried a hint of madness.

"Hehe, in the court today, he actually repeated his old tricks and defeated me again with that kind of paper that can't be extinguished."

"Concubine Lian, your hands are so white, just like the white paper like snow."

Concubine Lian smelled the smell of burning in the air, and the burning pain in her hands reached the extreme, and Concubine Lian wailed out in pain.

Yin Huan finally removed the candle from Concubine Lian's hand, and Yin Huan picked up the back of Concubine Lian's hand, which was no longer as smooth and white as it was just now.

Yin Huan sighed and sighed, "Why can't your hand resist the burning of this flame?" ”

Concubine Lian temporarily escaped the pain of the fire, enduring the burning pain that still existed on her hands, Concubine Lian cried profusely, and looked at Yin Huan with tears in her eyes begging for mercy.

Yin Huan didn't have any intention of pity for the jade, as if he had discovered some novel and good things, Yin Huan looked at Concubine Lian's face, his voice was filled with irrepressible excitement, and said: "I just found out that Concubine Ai's face is even fairer and more beautiful than her hands. ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Concubine Lian to hide back, Yin Huan quickly licked the flame on the candle on Concubine Lian's slender neck.

Concubine Lian wanted to sink down in pain and buried her neck in the water, but Yin Huan reached out and grabbed the other side of her neck.

Yin Huan slowly and carefully burned the flame from the candle to Concubine Lian's cheek, back and forth, over and over again, tirelessly.

Gradually, Concubine Lian lost the strength to wail, closed her eyes weakly, lost the strength to struggle, and let Yin Huan torture.

Yin Huan directly burned the cheeks on the side of Concubine Lian's neck to the flesh and blood before he stopped.

Yin Huan saw that Concubine Lian under his hand was already a dying person with less air intake and more breath, and felt that the body of Concubine Lian under his hand was getting heavier and heavier, Yin Huan knew that this was because Concubine Lian could no longer maintain her standing posture on her own.

Yin Huan indifferently let go of the hand holding Concubine Lian's neck, and let Concubine Lian's body fall into the Huaqing Pool like a broken rag doll.

Yin Huan stood up and threw the candle in his hand into the Huaqing Pool in disgust.

The candle "popped" and sank into the water.

The water surface of Huaqing Pond has returned to calm.

Yin Huan turned around and was about to go back to the dormitory, but at this moment, there was a "bang", and the calm of the water surface of Huaqing Pool was broken.

Concubine Lian's hands climbed onto the shore of Huaqing Pond, struggling to lean her whole body on the edge of the pool.

Concubine Lian's voice was weak but extremely firm, and she said to Yin Huan: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not a useless person, and please ask the emperor to leave the concubine a cheap life, and the concubine will definitely not live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Concubine Lian actually came out of the pool with her last breath, which really surprised Yin Huan a little.

Looking at the weak woman like an ant at her feet, Yin Huan said with interest: "Concubine Ai is really smart and knows what I need." ”

"Since Concubine Ai asked for her own life, I will allow it."

Concubine Lian continued weakly: "The concubine will find a way to go undercover in the Yin Mansion and cooperate with the emperor inside and outside, so that the emperor can deal with Prince Yin's family in the future." ”

Yin Huan laughed and said: "Concubine Lian, Concubine Lian, I really underestimated you before, I just need such an undercover agent, it just so happens that your appearance is ruined at this moment, Prince Yin and his family will definitely accept you, a poor woman with a disfigured face, who would have thought that you were once a beautiful and immortal Concubine Lotus!" ”

Concubine Lian heard Yin Huan say that her appearance was ruined, and her hatred surged in her heart, and after a long time, she said to Yin Huan: "The concubine thanked the emperor......

Yin Huan brushed his sleeves and left with a laugh, Concubine Lian waited for Yin Huan to walk away, used her last strength to crawl out of the Huaqing Pool, and then fell weakly on the edge of the pool, closed her heavy eyelids, and before losing consciousness, Concubine Lian had only one voice in her heart that kept reminding herself to wake up: Live, live, you can't just die here so meaninglessly.

The next day, Li Gao came to Prince Yin's mansion with the rare treasures that the emperor had rewarded to the Yin Mansion.

Yin Zhu led the family to receive the reward in the hall.

Yin Jiuyue watched Li Gao walk like he was fine, not at all like the person who had just received ten big boards yesterday, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, this Yin Huan wanted to beat Li Gao, and sure enough, he was just making a show for himself.

But Yin Jiuyue was a little strange, why did he order to beat Li Gao yesterday, why didn't this Yin Huan pretend to send other eunuchs to come over and reward things. Now send Li Gao over, isn't it just for show before.

Li Gao was expressionless, still reading out the list of the treasures rewarded by Yin Huan in a sharp voice, calm on the surface, but hateful in his heart.

Li Gao hated Yin Jiuyue and hated Yin Huan.

Since Yin Huan ascended the throne, Li Gao has always been a celebrity and cronie by Yin Huan's side, and he has won the trust of the emperor. Li Gao has always felt that although he is only a eunuch, he is under one person, above ten thousand, and infinitely glorious. Li Gao has always felt that he and Yin Huan are a community of interests, after all, many of the shady things that Yin Huan did in private were done by Li Gao instead of Yin Huan.

And Yin Huan, because of Yin Jiuyue's coercion, chose to sacrifice Li Gao. Although Li Gao knew that Yin Huan was just putting on a show, this was something that Li Gao couldn't bear. Thinking about how majestic Li Gao was in front of hundreds of officials before, but yesterday he was so embarrassed in front of hundreds of officials, after that, I don't know how many people will secretly mock him Li Gao in private.

The most important thing is that Li Gao sensed the crisis, and Li Gao realized that as long as it was for the emperor's own interests, he, Li Gao, could be sacrificed casually.
