CHAPTER XV
"What else do you know?"
"Back to Liang's father-in-law, I don't know." She lowered her eyes and said, "I really don't know why my aunt is like this, I ...... when I first came"
Speaking of this, her voice changed from hesitant to firm: "When I first came, my aunt said that she was going to leave the palace at the end of September to get married, no matter how she said it, she shouldn't do it. I also asked Liang's father-in-law to be aware of everything and return my aunt's innocence. ”
Liang Jiugong laughed, he didn't care what Dai Jia's family died for.
He just laughed: "I want to know where the poison in her hand came from." ”
"I don't know."
Liang Jiugong laughed: "Take her down and wake up your mind." ”
The dull sound of the board lapping against the flesh and the stuffing of cloth in his mouth made him unable to even make a sound of begging for mercy.
One person was beaten by ten boards, and was about to go to the second scene, when Xiao Meng's father-in-law came in and whispered in Liang Jiugong's ear: "The emperor has returned to the palace." ”
In order to cut the three feudatories, Kangxi has been to the court very frequently in recent years, and he has changed the previous system of only going to the court once in ten days.
Liang Jiugong is the big eunuch next to Kangxi, and he has to pass through his hands everywhere.
After Kangxi went to court, he took the time to take care of this matter.
Now that Kangxi has gone down to court, he naturally has to go back and wait.
He glanced at the imperial table, lowered his eyes, and said, "The minion is late." ”
Kangxi glanced at him and didn't say anything, looked at the music on the table, stepped out, and went to Cining Palace.
Liang Jiugong followed.
Kangxi walked for a while, and suddenly said: "There was a Fucha clan before, and I wanted to exchange military merits for relatives, and I have already promised to go out." ”
Liang Jiugong's expression froze, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, Long Live Lord said this before, and the minions all remember it." I have already asked for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am waiting to take over her work. ”
Kangxi said casually: "Yesterday, they were asked to choose a good day and an auspicious day to canonize the prince, and I just thought about it, and I plan to do more good deeds and accumulate blessings for the prince." ”
He paused: "The prince's biological mother died early, so I naturally have to think more about him." ”
"After all, she is a person around her, so I will reward her with two embroidery horses, a pearl, and two hundred taels of silver as an addition, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs do it."
Liang Jiugong hesitated.
Kangxi stopped, turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
Liang Jiugong knew that he couldn't hide this, so he said: "That palace maid drank a donkey, and she went at night, but she couldn't save it." ”
"That's right." Kangxi sighed, walked a few steps, and said, "Then send her body back, let her family bury it well, and send it to the dowry according to the number to be used as the funeral fee." ”
"Long live the kindness of the lord." Liang Jiugong responded.
Kangxi thought for a while and added a few more words: "Life and death, blessings and misfortunes, ordinary people are unpredictable." and she were in the same palace, and each person was rewarded with twenty taels of silver as a comfort. ”
He muttered to himself: "You should give the prince a blessing." ”
Liang Jiugong responded, and when Kangxi entered Cining Palace, he let Xiao Meng's father-in-law return to Qianqing Palace to stop the punishment.
The three of them were sweaty and hungry, Chen Jiayi threw herself into Ma Jiarongrong's arms and trembled and cried, and Wu Malu knelt and sat on the side, silent.
Xiao Meng's father-in-law glanced at it, with a little sympathy in his expression, and he said: "Don't hurry up and rest, for a while, the emperor wants to use people." ”
The others are gone, and everyone else.
Umalu came in with water for the three of them to wipe their bodies, and rubbed it on the leg of the fifteen-board beater, and couldn't help but shiver.
It hurts, but it hurts.
Tears welled up in the eyes of all three of them.
Ma Jia Rongrong comforted in a low voice: "If you want to open some, let's save our lives for the time being." ”
Chen Jiayi cried so much that she was almost out of breath, and after Ma Jiarongrong wiped herself, she put on her inner clothes and wiped Chen Jiayi's body.
Umalus didn't say anything.
She did things in silence.
Today's punishment - being beaten is nothing, it just hurts. When the back began to "paste the official", one after another wet paper was pasted on her face, she couldn't breathe, and suspected that she was about to die of suffocation, she finally realized it clearly.
This is not a time-traveler in novels, TV series or movies, with a golden finger, he can kill all sides, he can not care about all the feudal etiquette of the society in the current era, and he can always resolve all kinds of tribulations just right.
This was a feudal era, where imperial power reigned supreme.
Therefore, Liang Jiugong, who served the emperor, could punish them indiscriminately.
This is not her time, not her society, not the company she is what she does, there are no human rights and laws here, only the contempt and trampling of people by the supreme power.
At the moment when she was about to die of suffocation, she was extremely sure that even if she was beaten to death and buried in the palace, no one would speak for her.
She thought that her aunts were right about her.
She is in the palace to be cautious and honest. Only then will the damage be minimized. However, even if this is the case, it is inevitable to be implicated.
A question arose in her mind, what should she do?
In her time, the most cruel thing she could experience was being dumped by her colleagues, being squeezed by her boss, being scolded by her parents, and being disliked by her friends.
At that time, she couldn't be a big deal and walked away.
But what about now?
Where can she go?
She didn't know.
She tightened her hopes of going home, like holding on to the last straw.
She repeatedly thought in her heart that she would definitely be able to go back, and she would always find a way to go back.
She read it over and over again, and her trembling hands gradually regained their composure.
She took out the things that Aunt Dai Jia had given her before she died, and placed them on the table, which were hairpins, earrings, and bracelets.
She said, "This is what Aunt Dai Jia left us. ”
Chen Jiayi said in a sharp voice: "You know that she is going to die, why don't you stop her?" ”
"I don't know......," said Umalu, who herself felt that such a defense was too pale, "and when I came back, I only heard my aunt crying. In the middle of the night, I felt someone stuffing something into the bed, and I thought it was a dream, so I didn't pay attention. ”
"Lie, lie, you're a liar." Chen Jiayi blamed her.
Ma Jiarongrong couldn't listen to it anymore, and gave her a slap on the leg, which was deliberately slapped on the place where she hit the board.
The severe pain made Chen Jiayi lose the strength to speak all of a sudden, she stood up and changed her clothes, picked up the things on the table, and walked out quickly, screaming fiercely.
"You don't deserve to keep what your aunt gives."
Ma Jia Rongrong poured out the dirty water with her.
The house was not cleaned up, because I didn't know what Liang Jiugong's father-in-law would do next.
They don't want to be punished again.
Ma Jiarong apologized to Wu Malu on behalf of Chen Jiayi: "Don't blame her, my aunt is her distant aunt, and they are relatives." Because of her aunt, she came to the tea house, and she didn't suffer too much grievance. She was stimulated, and she was not sober for a while and said the wrong thing, it was her fault. ”
