Chapter 288: There is someone behind Concubine Li
Concubine Li fainted from the pain, but was woken up by a bucket of cold water.
"Concubine Li, you know best, since you have been brought here, it means that the regent has found conclusive evidence, why are you quibbling here?" Tang Yingying's eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold.
Concubine Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she cried and said, "Miss Tang, I really don't know what happened. I think I usually stay in the palace in peace, and without His Majesty's summons, I won't even take a step through the gate of my palace."
Tang Yingying hooked her lower lip: "Concubine Li still doesn't want to say it well, it seems that the bones are too hard."
She said to a few grandmothers, "You slowly help Concubine Li loosen her bones, you must make her comfortable, you can't make her feel uncomfortable at all, you know?"
Several grandmothers answered "yes" and forcibly tied Concubine Li to the torture rack.
Concubine Li was so frightened that her voice became sharp and trembling: "Don't! Regent, my Majestic's concubine, you have no right to interrogate me, you have no right to do so. I want to see Your Majesty, I ask to see Your Majesty!".
"Concubine Li's mouth is really hard enough." A grandmother took a whip full of barbs and threw it the ground.
"Smack".
Concubine Li trembled a few times, and her already pale face was almost transparent: "Regent, I, I really don't know what happened. You can't do this to me, I ask to see Your Majesty."
Mo Chen raised his eyelids.
Mama raised her hand and slammed a few whips on Concubine Li's body: "Concubine Li has been in the palace for many years, and she knows the criminal law in this palace best. If you still have a hard mouth, the punishment of the Prudential Division will let you taste it one by one."
Concubine Li screamed incessantly, and kept saying that she didn't know what had happened, and that she wanted to see His Majesty.
Hearing Tang Yingying's sneer, she looked at the trembling eunuch who was kneeling there: "Are you honest and confess, or will you confess after being punished?" I see, all the punishments here are quite suitable for you."
Immediately, two grandmothers stepped forward and dragged the eunuch to be tortured.
"The minion said, the minion said!" The eunuch's shrill voice was split.
As soon as Tang Yingying waved her hand, the two grandmothers put down the eunuch, and she said lightly, "Say it well. If you say a lie, or hide even a little, I will let you taste all the punishments of the Penal Division."
The eunuch glanced at Concubine Li, who was being tortured, and was almost frightened: "Slave, the slave was originally serving in Concubine Li's palace, and he was a miscellaneous eunuch, and he happened to be the same villager as Concubine Li......
According to what he said, he was originally an inconspicuous existence in Concubine Li's palace, and no one noticed him. However, one day, Concubine Li learned out of nowhere that he was her hometown, so she specially summoned him and asked him a lot about his hometown.
At the time, he didn't think much of it, and he didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have. It wasn't until Concubine Li sighed and said that life in this deep palace was not easy, that he realized that there was a problem.
Concubine Li said that she was not favored, His Majesty favored Concubine Li and Princess Lanyue, and she had no children to live by, so the situation in this palace was very difficult. He also said that if she could be favored by His Majesty, or if she had a son and a daughter, she would be better off in this palace.
As soon as he heard this, he knew Concubine Li's purpose, but he didn't dare not help.
"The slave has been serving in Concubine Li's palace for a long time, and she knows too well that Concubine Li looks kind and easy to get along with, but she is actually a vicious, cautious, and cruel person. If anyone makes her unhappy or offends her, she can't take revenge on the spot, and she will use all means to solve the other party afterwards, and it will ruin the other party's reputation.
For the sake of his life, the slave had to take the initiative to say that he was willing to help Concubine Li. At that time, the slave couldn't understand why Concubine Li would find the minion. Later, the slave realized that Concubine Li was for the slave's incense-making skills.
The slave ancestral incense was made, but when his father's generation declined, and in desperation, the slave entered the palace and became a eunuch. According to Concubine Li's request, the minions made special spices, and then found palace maids to use them on the clothes that His Majesty often wears, and the rest of the minions don't know."
Tang Yingying looked at Concubine Li in disgust: "Concubine Li, are you still unwilling to explain? Or do you want to enjoy enjoying more
The punishment of "comfort"?"
"By the way, I have to tell you something, even if you don't tell the truth today, you won't be able to get out of the Sentencing Division alive today. Moreover, from now on, there will not be another Concubine Li in this harem, there will only be one Concubine Li."
Concubine Li gritted her teeth and still didn't speak, the hatred and anger in her eyes were about to materialize.
Tang Yingying didn't care either, and told Mama to continue the punishment, she didn't believe that the pampered Concubine Li could withstand so many punishments.
Concubine Li really couldn't bear a few punishments.
When the fourth punishment came, she couldn't hold it anymore: "I said, I said it all."
The tortured grandmother stepped aside.
Concubine Li stared at Tang Yingying with scarlet eyes, and her words were full of jealousy and unwillingness: "A person like you who marries a good family will never understand my pain."
"Why should I understand your pain?" Tang Yingying spread her hands.
Concubine Li choked, and she said hatefully: "When Your Majesty was still in the Hidden Mansion, I followed him, and my qualifications were not much higher than Concubine Li's. However, just because I can't coax men, I don't know those *** tricks, Your Majesty has forgotten me and favored Concubine Li."
Tang Yingying found that these women had a common problem, what they couldn't get, they would use all kinds of dirty thoughts to each other, as if this would make them more comfortable.
For example, Concubine Li, no matter whether Concubine Li used bad means or not, that is also one of her skills, but Concubine Li used her qualifications to make a fuss, no wonder she lost so completely.
Concubine Li tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing her recollection: "I think at the beginning, when Your Majesty was still in the hidden mansion, how good it was to me."
"Her Majesty didn't treat her well at the time." Mo Chen said indifferently, "Concubine Li once betrayed Your Majesty."
Tang Yingying saw Concubine Li's face change slightly, and said in surprise, "Regent, what's going on?"
Mo Chen explained: "When His Majesty was still the crown prince, the first emperor was provoked by female cadres, and he grounded His Majesty, and deliberately abolished His Majesty. It was during that time that many of His Majesty's concubines chose to betray His Majesty for the sake of themselves and their families, and Concubine Li was one of them."
"She stole some secrets of the Prince's Mansion and wanted to use them for her own benefit, but Her Majesty found out. At that time, she did not repent at all, scolded His Majesty, and said that what she did was right, which was the reason why His Majesty snubbed her after he ascended the throne."
At that time, only the mother concubine and a few palace concubines were by His Majesty's side.
Tang Yingying understood the reason, and looked at Concubine Li's eyes as sarcastically as she could: "Your Majesty is willing to spare your life, and you can still eat and drink to raise you, which is already a great gift, you still dare to complain, and dare to design to harm Your Majesty."
"For a wolf-hearted person like you, Your Majesty shouldn't have spared your life back then."
I don't know if her words stimulated Concubine Li, she yelled out of control, "What do you know? What do you know? I did that back then for the sake of my life and that of my family. Anyone else would have made the same decision as me when faced with such a choice."
She didn't do anything wrong, she didn't do anything wrong.
Tang Yingying sneered, "Don't think that everyone is the same as you. I don't need to ask to know, presumably, there was a palace concubine who was by His Majesty's side as always."
Seeing that Concubine Li's expression froze, she said again, "To put it bluntly, you are just using these words to cover up your selfishness and viciousness."
Concubine Li, who was exposed to her true face, roared angrily: "Shut up! You shut up...... Ahh
Mo Chen slapped her and swollen half of her face: "If I hear you say yes to Yingying again, I will let you experience the taste of life being worse than death."
Concubine Li shuddered a few times, and all her resentment was like being drenched in a basin of ice water: "Don't dare, don't dare."
She was well aware of the regent's methods, and she didn't want to be tortured again.
Mo Chen asked Concubine Li to continue.
Concubine Li didn't have the courage to talk about those who didn't, but there was resentment and unwillingness in her tone: "I've been in the harem for so many years, and Your Majesty hasn't seen me once. The key is that my position is still slowly taken by the concubines when they are promoted."
"I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling! Why can a *** like Concubine Li become a concubine and take care of it on her behalf
Take care of the harem, but I can only be an unfavored concubine, and I can't even see His Majesty?
Therefore, I want to destroy Concubine Li and Princess Lanyue, and I want this mother and daughter to die in agony! Aren't the mother and daughter very proudly favored? I want them to fall from a great height!"
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen were aware of the problem.
"You deliberately asked Your Majesty to agree to Princess Lanyue's participation in the affairs of the court?" Tang Yingying asked.
At this moment, Concubine Li had nothing to hide: "It's not me. I'm not so stupid to let Princess Lanyue participate in the affairs of the court. As a harem concubine, I know very well what it means to participate in the affairs of the court."
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen glanced at each other, and lo and behold, the problem came out.
"And what did you do?" She asked.
Concubine Li: "Originally, I was going to blame the incense on Concubine Li's mother and daughter. I've arranged all of this, and I'm just waiting for the time to come and get it done, but something went wrong."
Tang Yingying narrowed her cold eyes slightly: "What went wrong?"
Concubine Li raised her head and sighed, "It may be that God is helping Concubine Li's mother and daughter. According to my plan, it should be that there was a problem with His Majesty's dragon body, and then it was found on Concubine Li's mother and daughter. But for some reason, the incense thing has not been exposed, but Princess Lanyue has become more and more favored."
Tang Yingying crossed her hands and tightened slightly: "No one will help you?"
"Who's going to help me?" Concubine Li laughed at herself: "I am an unfavored palace concubine in the harem, and no one will help me."
Tang Yingying: "Then how did you know that this eunuch was your fellow countryman?" No matter how unfavored you are, you are also one of the four concubines, and he is an inconspicuous miscellaneous eunuch, you will not know him."
When Concubine Li heard this, she sensed the problem: "You mean, I was being taken advantage of?"
