Chapter 48: Torture (Ask for Collection)

April followed the maid who passed the word, passed through several corridors, walked through several moon gates, and finally came to Changchun Courtyard.

After being briefed, she was brought into the main hall.

Princess Liu knelt on the couch with a dignified and serious expression.

April took a few steps forward and bowed.

"Grass people Yuan April visited the princess Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."

"Raise your head and let Hongu take a look." Princess Liu is full of energy, and when she listens to the voice, she knows that she is in good health and full of energy.

April slowly raised his head.

It was the first time she had faced the princess, and it was still so close. Princess Liu's face was slightly rounded, her lips were red, and she only had a few headgear on her head, which looked very plain. Dressed in a dark red robe, the body is tightly wrapped, looking dignified and charming.

This is a woman with ambitions. This was April's first impression of seeing the princess.

Dignified elegance can't hide her inner ambition, and she wants her own son to take the throne. The premise is that the son must be pulled off the horse.

Princess Liu is also looking at April, well, she is a beautiful girl, and she does have the capital to attract the attention of the seventh child. Aunt Zhang said that Yuan April was not like a countryman, and she was not wrong.

"Sit down!" Princess Liu's grace.

April sat down on his knees in front of the low table.

The kneeling posture makes people have to straighten their backs and always maintain their mental concentration.

"I heard that your hometown is in Yunyang County. The Lu family seems to be in Yunyang. ”

April lowered her head slightly, "Back to the princess, Yunyang does have a Lu family." ”

"Before I got married, I played with the girls of the Lu family, and it was really a time worth remembering. I heard that you sell tofu. ”

"Yes. Life was difficult, so I found a tofu livelihood. ”

"No wonder everyone calls you Tofu April, you can afford it. White and tender, not like a countryman. I heard you've read books? "Princess Liu showed great interest and kept inquiring about the situation in April.

April bowed slightly, "I just know a few words." ”

"Don't be humble. In the countryside, it's a girl, and it's amazing to be able to read and write. Although the main palace has not been outside for many years, the general situation is still understood. How have the past two years been in the countryside? Can you get by? ”

What is the purpose of this question?

April replied as he pondered it: "The DPRK and China have increased taxes, which is not as good as in previous years. ”

"Hey! Fighting everywhere, there is no way for the imperial court to increase the endowment. but it has afflicted the people. Princess Liu sighed with emotion, and April was almost shocked.

Could it be that the princess still has a heart that loves the people?

Can't!

The Liu family is a well-known big landlord and a wealthy man in Jizhou. The acres of land occupied are innumerable. I don't know how many people worked as tenants for the Liu family, and how many people died and sold to the Liu family as slaves and maids.

Think about it. How to say it is another matter.

April took a deep breath and said softly, "The princess is kind. ”

Princess Liu chuckled lightly, Nunu mouthed. Aunt Zhang immediately brought a book.

Liu said: "Since you are literate, I will accompany this princess to read." ”

April looked at the thick book and bowed down, "No! ”

"That's great!"

Princess Liu leaned on the couch, pillowed the pillow, and slowly closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.

In April, he held the book and slowly recited it word by word, "The ministers of the Qin clan all said that the king of Qin said: The princes come to work with Qin, ......"

April lowered her voice a little to make her voice sound more textured. She loves to read, but it's obviously hard to sit on her knees and read.

In order to relax, April had to be lazy and occasionally twist his body to relieve fatigue.

The maids and servants were all on the side, silent, as if they were invisible.

"Can't you sit still?" Princess Liu suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

April hurriedly said: "Princess Qiyu, the grass people are pregnant and inconvenient, please forgive me." ”

"Oh!" Princess Liu made a sudden realization, "You are already pregnant." Hongu remembered that someone had mentioned this matter before. Go ahead! ”

April had no choice but to continue studying.

It was getting dark, and the room was lit up.

April has been persevering, gritting its teeth and persevering.

If the princess wanted to make her succumb through such torture, or get rid of the child in her womb, she couldn't admit defeat. Actually, she wanted to say, but she didn't have to.

If you want to get rid of her child, you can just give an order.

Or does the princess have a habit of torturing people personally?

"Mother, mother, it's getting dark." Aunt Zhang quietly woke up Princess Liu.

"Is it dark? Before you know it, another day has passed. Princess Liu sat up from the couch, stretched her waist, and saw that April was still studying, and raised her eyebrows, "Why are you still there?" ”

"The princess didn't say let the grass people go, but the grass people didn't dare to go." April put down the book and bowed slightly. This posture actually relaxed her stiff body a little.

"It's getting dark, let's go back. This princess is not unkind. ”

"Thank you, princess."

April took a deep breath and tried to stand up, but her legs were already stiff.

It was a little maid who helped her that she was able to stand up and leave in a hurry.

A soft knife kills without blood, but it is enough to torture people to madness.

Princess Liu took a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth, "There is no movement over there?" ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, "It's been a day, and Bibo Courtyard hasn't sent anyone over to ask." ”

"Humph!" Princess Liu snorted coldly, "Lao Qi is calm. ”

Perhaps, Qilangjun doesn't pay attention to Yuan April at all. As for keeping the child, it is Shichiro-kun's seed after all. Aunt Zhang said thoughtfully.

Princess Liu sneered, "What is not planted, Lao Qi doesn't care about these at all." He came out of my belly and I know him. He just took a fancy to Yuan April, so he let Yuan April keep the child. ”

"I can't!"

"How could it be. After observing for a day today, what do you think of this Yuan April? ”

"Bearable! I didn't cry out bitterly. ”

Princess Liu sighed with emotion: "There are more country girls who can endure and endure hardships." However, there is no country girl who is literate and pregnant with the seventh child. Looking at the way she answered, she was a person who had seen the world, not as dull as ordinary girls. ”

"That's what the princess said. What about it...... Yuan April's pregnancy, do you want to interfere? ”

Princess Liu laughed, "The seventh doesn't care about his concubine, so why should I worry about it." After tonight, if Yuan April doesn't move after he goes back, the child can be saved, so don't worry about it in the future. If she doesn't survive tonight and the child has a problem, it will be providential. Providence forbade her to give birth to this child. ”

"Niangniang is reasonable, everything depends on the will of God."

April was very uncomfortable, and she leaned against the wall and moved back to Bibo Courtyard step by step. I really didn't have the strength, so I sat down directly against the wall and took a breath.

As soon as Liu Cheng turned the corner, he saw her.

"How do you sit on the ground. The ground is cold, you are now a pregnant person, take care of yourself. ”

April opened her eyes and showed a tired smile, "It turned out to be Sister Willow Orange." I'm so tired, let me sit down for a while. ”

Liu Cheng squatted, "What are you doing here?" How tired you are like this. Let's go, I'll take you back to the kitchenette to have a bite to eat, and then to make a fire. ”

"I don't have to ......"

"Don't do it."

Liu Cheng helped April back to the small kitchen, a bowl of hot soup in his stomach, April suddenly felt alive again.
