Chapter 12: The Poison of the Heart
The cold and terrible night finally passed, and as soon as the day dawned, the door was pushed open by an old woman.
"Please get up and learn etiquette!" Mama said loudly, although it was please, there was no hint of deference in her tone.
Luo Lianyi crawled out of the thin quilt and got out of bed with a yawn. Feng Lin had already stood up from the couch and followed Luo Lianyi.
"What manners do you learn and where do you learn them?" Luo Lianyi rubbed her eyes, the place where her arm had been pricked by needles was swollen, and she screamed "oops" in pain.
"It's swollen!" Feng Lin was busy showing her.
"Yes! It hurts! Luo Lianyi cried with a sad face.
"County Lord, please hurry! The queen has an order, be sure to learn all the etiquette today, Mama Zhou, Mama Li are waiting for you over there! The old lady kept a straight face and urged her impatiently.
Luo Lianyi hurriedly followed her, turned left and right to a room, and there were really a few old women waiting there in the room.
"Please learn to kneel first!" A grandmother pointed to a chair in front of her, and she said, "The county lord is the emperor and the mother sit here, please kneel down the county lord!" ”
Luo Lianyi looked left and right, several grandmothers were glaring at her fiercely, she had no choice but to kneel down and learn to sing on TV: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, mother, mother, thousand years, thousands of years." ”
"Please raise your hands and eyebrows!" Mama said with a straight face.
Luo Lianyi raised his hands and eyebrows.
"Please bow to the ground! Still raising his hands and eyebrows. ”
Luo Lianyi had to lie down as she said. The center of her eyebrows was swollen, and when she lowered her head like this, she only felt that her head was uncomfortable.
"Raise your knees, still raise your hands and eyebrows!"
Luo Lianyi stood up.
"The county lord's posture is wrong, please do it again!" Mama said.
Luo Lianyi turned her head to look at her, but Mama didn't look at her, and repeated mechanically: "The county lord's posture is wrong, please do it again!" ”
Luo Lianyi was helpless, so she had to do it again, but she didn't expect that after doing it a few times, the old lady didn't let her go at all, and kept repeating it mechanically, asking her to redo it.
"Are you kidding me?" Luo Lianyi finally got angry, she put her hands on her waist and shouted at Mama.
"County lord, it is the queen's will to teach etiquette, you are disrespectful to the mother, you are disrespectful to the mother, I'm sorry, the slave wants to punish you on behalf of the mother!" Mama stood in place and said expressionlessly.
"What's it?" Luo Lianyi didn't understand. The wind forest next to him was taken aback and quietly slipped out of the room.
"Please face north, bend down and hug your legs!" Mama said. Luo Lianyi did as she said, facing the north, bending down and hugging her legs.
"Please don't bend the county lord's body!" Mama is like a robot, commanding from the side. Luo Lianyi had to bow her body straight, fortunately, she had practiced dancing when she was a child, and her body was very flexible, otherwise she would not be able to stand this movement if she couldn't hold on for a minute. After about five minutes, she looked up and asked, "Okay?" ”
"Please stay in charge for an hour." Mama was still expressionless.
"An hour! Do you want my life? Luo Lianyi stood up straight and shouted.
"Torture Instruments!" The grandmother glanced at the few grandmothers next to her and said.
"It's coming!" The one next to him took out a box from his pocket and opened it, and there were rows of silver needles in the box.
"What do you want to do? Lynching me again? I'm going to the emperor and cut you all down! When Luo Lianyi saw the silver needle, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, screaming to scare them.
"Hahaha, sister of the county lord, do you still expect to see the emperor at this moment?" A burst of laughter came from outside the room, and with the eunuch's announcement that "the queen's mother has arrived", the queen has walked in surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Luo Lianyi turned around, glared at her in annoyance, and said, "Queen, I'm going to Xiling, and I don't have any conflict with you, why are you torturing me?" ”
"Humph!" Gao Yan sneered and said, "This palace wants you to know what happened to the fox emperor, three years later, you'd better not count on it, and come back to share the emperor with this palace!" ”
"Cut, three years later, who knows what the situation will be, I don't know if the emperor can take Xiling, you are too prepared." Luo Lianyi scoffed.
"Bold! Dare to say such a rebellious thing, Mama Zhou, go to punishment! The queen was furious, and her two-inch-long nails pointed at Luo Lianyi's face.
The grandmothers rushed up, and Mama Zhou, who was holding the needle, smiled and pinched a silver needle and stabbed it at Luo Lianyi's shoulder.
"Ahh Luo Lianyi screamed in pain.
Silver needles stabbed at her mercilessly, and she almost fainted in pain, and her screams became weaker and weaker.
Let's say that after Fenglin secretly ran out, he didn't know where to find the emperor, guarded by heavy guards, he was a palace maid, where did he dare to trespass, and he couldn't help but be anxious to go around in the verandah.
A eunuch came over, Feng Lin looked familiar, it seemed that he had seen him in the prison that day, the eunuch also saw him, stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Father-in-law, help! Father-in-law! Feng Lin grabbed him and almost fell to his knees.
"What can I save you?" The eunuch was puzzled.
"The county lord is in trouble, for the sake of her intercession for your father-in-law and grandmother in front of the emperor in prison that day, father-in-law save her!" Feng Lin was so anxious that tears came out.
"You hurry up and wait for the emperor outside the Ming Zheng Palace, the emperor should go down at this hour." The father-in-law pointed out, and Fuchen pointed in the direction of the Ming Zheng Palace, and hurriedly left.
"Ming Zheng Palace! Ming Zheng Palace! Feng Lin trotted all the way in the direction the eunuch pointed.
He panted and ran to the bottom of the stairs of the Ming Zheng Palace, just as the emperor came out of the palace surrounded by hundreds of officials, Feng Lin fell to his knees, and shouted "The emperor helps!" ”
Qi Yu was stunned, a little palace maid dared to stop the road outside the hall and shout "help", did she not want to die?
"Bold! Which house are you a minion? I don't know the rules like this! Dare to disturb the emperor! The eunuch beside Qi Yu shouted.
"The slave is the maid of His Royal Highness the county lord!" Feng Lin raised his head with tears in his eyes.
"County Lord!" When Qi Yu heard the county lord, he hurriedly got down the stairs and asked Fenglin, "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”
"The county lord was tortured by the grandmothers in Zhongling Palace! The emperor is going to save the county lord! Fenglin cried.
"How can this be true? Walk! Qi Yu was furious and strode towards Zhong Ling Palace.
In Zhongling Palace, Luo Lianyi was lying on the ground, she had fainted, and the queen walked over, took out a pill from her sleeve, and ordered Mama Zhou to feed it. Mama Zhou took the pill, helped Luo Lianyi to sit halfway, pinched Luo Lianyi's chin with one hand, opened her mouth, stuffed the pill into her mouth, and the other Mama brought water and handed it to her, Mama Zhou poured the water into Luo Lianyi's mouth, and swallowed the pill and water together.
Luo Lianyi took a sip of water and woke up, her lips trembled, and she glared at the queen fiercely.
"Sister, you have taken the Netherworld Heart-Eater Scattering of the Palace, if you don't take the antidote on the night of the full moon every month, it will be like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, ten thousand ants eating meat, and the pain is unbearable, are you afraid?" The queen crouched down, long nails running lightly across her face.
