The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and everything in the palace is back on track. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Liangren of Jiuhua Hall was executed, and now there is no owner in Jiuhua Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs inside have to be rearranged, and the queen mother received news that the late Yang Liangren had violated the palace rules before, and secretly brought a third-class palace maid to Jiuhua Hall without telling the queen.

According to the testimony of some palace maids, it was this third-class palace maid who first violated the palace rules and ignored her own errands, and found Yang Liangren first, so the queen mother dealt with it according to the palace rules and took this palace maid to the Shen Penal Division for execution, and as for life and death, she resigned herself to fate.

If she was alive, this palace maid would be relegated to Langyue Pavilion to do rough work, and if she died, she would be thrown to Yongxiang to find someone to take her out and bury her.

The other palace people in Jiuhua Hall had their own places, but Ning Lan was escorted out by two eunuchs. When he saw Rong Ya and Yun Yao, his face was full of resentment.

"Yun Yao, you are really clever in your means, you can't bring you down like this!, but you wait, if I don't die, I will make you pay!" Ning Lan said viciously to Yun Yao.

"Ning Lan, if you say such unashamed words in front of the queen's mother, don't you put your mother in your eyes?" Yun Yao said lightly, not bothering Ning Lan.

She knew that the Shen Criminal Division never showed mercy, and if she went to the Shen Criminal Division, she could live, and she couldn't find three people in the entire Daning Palace. Whether Ning Lan can live or not is another matter.

What's more, there are many ways in the palace to make people die quietly.

"The queen mother is generous, naturally she will not worry about small people like me, and you don't have to use the queen mother to press me. Ning Lan said, "You'd better pray that I die in the Punishment Division, otherwise I won't let you go." ”

As soon as Ning Lan said this, she was taken away.

Yun Yao didn't argue with her anymore, she just felt that all this was inexplicable, Ning Lan's hatred for her was inexplicable, and even such a declaration of war was inexplicable.

Because Yun Yao didn't know that Aunt Yuehe had promised Ning Lan the position of the next aunt in charge, when Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan overthrew Aunt Yuehe and shattered Ning Lan's dream with their own hands, this made Ning Lan unwilling.

In addition, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan later entered the inner palace successively and became female officials, and became the envy of everyone in the Yeting Palace, which made Ning Lan feel even more unconvinced.

Sometimes hating a person doesn't need a lot of reasons, it's enough to be unwilling and unconvinced, when all the grievances are pressed in the bottom of the heart, take advantage of the day to rush out, out of control, and become the source of all hatred.

Ning Lan was taken to the Shen Criminal Division, because of the queen's orders, so the people in the Shen Criminal Division did not dare to slack off, and all the torture instruments beckoned to her, regardless of whether she could bear it or not.

Because Rong Ya knew that this time Yang Liangren and the guards were reluctant to do something, it should have been a bureau set up for Yun Yao, and this bureau was so vicious, not only ruining Yun Yao's reputation, but also ruining Yun Yao's innocence.

She didn't even dare to imagine that if this strategy really came to pass, then the difference between Yun Yao and General Gu would no longer be a difference in identity, but a chasm that could never be crossed, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

There are too many variables in this palace, if Ning Lan is allowed to live, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it may be counterattacked by Ning Lan at an inadvertent moment, and then die without a place to be buried.

So, Ning Lan can't live.

In the Shen Punishment Division, Ning Lan was tied to a cross-shaped stake, her arms outstretched, trapped to death, and her body was also tied to a pillar, just like the punishment that Yun Yao and Su Xin had received in the water prison of Yeting Palace in the past.

The saltwater-soaked whip struck Ning Lan's body, but in a few moments, her skin was open and her flesh was blurred.

Although it is autumn now, there are still very few clothes to wear, and when the whip goes down, the clothes are all torn, and Ning Lan's original delicate skin is also whipped by these whips, leaving traces of blood red.

After beating Ning Lan with a hundred whips, he saw that Ning Lan was about to die, but he took her off and threw her into a wooden bucket filled with water next to her.

The bottom of the barrel was filled with iron nails, and if you stand on it, your feet will soon be punctured, and blood will flow everywhere. And the water in the barrel was not clean water, but salt water, and it was not enough for them to beat it with a whip soaked in salt water, but also to throw Ning Lan directly into the salt water.

"Ahh

only heard a miserable scream, and Ning Lan, who was about to faint, was attacked by a sudden stinging sensation, which made her wake up again in an instant, and let out a terrible scream.

However, if this scream had been placed elsewhere, it would have brought tears to the eyes of those who heard it, because it was so miserable that it was unbearable. But this is the Shen Criminal Division, screams like this have long been commonplace, and there are even more tragic than this, so the palace people of the Shen Criminal Division are expressionless, what should they do.

The two mothers-in-law grabbed Ning Lan and pressed her head into the salt water, then quickly scooped her up again and continued to press it.

After pressing it several times in a row, Ning Lan had been tortured by them and didn't even have the strength to struggle and scream, she wanted to faint, but the pain all over her body reminded her that she was very conscious now.

Ning Lan didn't know if she wanted to die or not. She didn't want to be tortured so painfully anymore, and she didn't want to continue to be tortured here, she really wanted to die, but she thought of Yun Yao again, why could Yun Yao live peacefully in the palace, but she could only suffer such a sin?

She must live, live well, and then wait for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Yun Yao.

With this thought in her mind, Ning Lan silently endured all the pain, and she told herself that even if she was fighting for her breath, she would live.

"I didn't expect this girl to have very hard bones, come on, pull out my nails-"

One of the mother-in-law said this, and soon, two people came over with pliers, one of them grabbed Ning Lan's hand and spread her five fingers, and the other person clamped her nails with pliers, and then pulled them out so hard that a whole nail fell off Ning Lan's hand.

Although Ning Lan did rough work and her hands were not so delicate, she had never suffered such a sin. It is said that it is ten fingers connected to the heart, which was directly pulled out, which really hurt her to the bones.

The pain and screams continued, and she didn't know how long it took, but she finally couldn't help it, and fainted from the pain, and she no longer had any clear consciousness.

Before she fainted, the only thing she felt was the sliminess of her hands, which were her own blood, the blood that had been plucked out of her nails, sliding down her palms and permeating her entire palm.

Then, with a tilt of her head, she didn't know anything.

Two hours later, the people from the Shen Penal Division went to the Hehuan Hall to tell the queen, saying that Ning Lan was overwhelmed in the process of being tortured, failed to survive, and died in the Shen Penal Division, and now she has been sent to Yongxiang.

When Yun Yao heard the news, a trace of amazement flashed in her heart, as if something was wrong, but she didn't know where this wrongness came from.

"It's a matter of concern now, Sister Yun Yao, you don't have to be wary of Ning Lan everywhere. When Rong Ya heard the news from the Shen Criminal Division, she finally relaxed and spoke.

"That's what the mother said. Yun Yao nodded, "But having said that, the slave maid has always been a little uneasy in her heart, maybe the slave maid is too worried." ”

"Okay, don't think about it, the people who often stir up trouble in the palace are gone, and the days may be calmer in the future. Rong Ya said, "Finally, I can live a comfortable life for a few more days." ”

Yun Yao looked at the longing look on Rong Ya's face, and couldn't help but smile. Although the queen is smart, she is a child's heart after all, and she has not yet fully matured, maybe she was protected by Princess Ning Yuan and Xuanyang Hou too well.

I have to say that although the relationship between Princess Ning Yuan and the Marquis of Xuanyang is very complicated, on the surface, they seem to respect each other, but in fact they hold a grudge against each other, but they invariably make the same choice - to protect Rong Ya.

Even if this is not the crystallization of their love, they are also close relatives, and they are reluctant to let Rong Ya be hurt, so they bury all the contradictions in their hearts and do not let Rong Ya see any clues. For so many years, Rong Ya only knew that there was no real affection between her parents, but she didn't know that her biological father poisoned her mother.

However, what they don't know is that some things are always unexpected, and even the most intelligent people can't control every sudden accident in their hands.

In Changming Palace, Lu Yingquan is still doing what the emperor should do, after these months of training, she has not only helped Shen Ze classify the folds, but even when she looks at the folds, she also has some of her own opinions.

Every time he had any ideas, Lu Yingquan would use notes on paper, and when Shen Ze reviewed the folds, he could discuss them with him. Shen Ze often frowned when he reviewed the excerpts, and he was a little helpless about the current situation in the DPRK, but often after listening to Lu Yingquan's words, he would suddenly open his mouth.

"Yang Yushi's trip to the south, I have basically figured out the position of the ministers in the court, and Zhou Taichang's collusion with Beidi has also allowed me to almost eliminate some people who can be cleansed, but the power of the Queen Mother is still deep-rooted. Shen Ze looked at the fold in his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Wen has Prime Minister Wen and Wu has Qin Yuankai, both of whom have a lot of deterrent power in the Korean and Chinese armies. ”

"Did the emperor see that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to draft a draft and fill the folds of the harem?" Lu Yingquan heard Shen Ze's exclamation, so he asked.

"Not bad. Shen Ze nodded, "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng used the reason that the harem concubines lost two people in a row, so that I could fill the harem and extend the heirs. ”

"Why should the emperor be angry, this harem has a distinct level, the queen is still young, although she has been in charge of the harem, but it is difficult to convince the public because of lack of experience; Jiang Meiren was born in a family of military generals, but General Jiang refused to accept the queen mother's wooing, Xu Liang and Du Liangren's status is too low, not enough to be in charge alone. The queen mother naturally wants the emperor to select more concubines to enter the palace, so as to become her pawns to consolidate the harem. ”

Lu Yingquan now has bright eyes and a bright heart, and he has a very thorough view of the situation in the harem of the court, and he is very good at analyzing it.
