Chapter 43: Punishment

One

Dengli took Shu'er back to the dormitory, but he didn't know what to do with her for a while.

It stands to reason that whether it is a maid or a concubine, the crime of fleeing is punishable by death. The difference is that escaping from a maid can be punished with a canonical sentence, but escaping from a concubine is an unspeakable ugly thing.

However, she is a woman who is close to Datang, so she should be able to open the net. Dengri thought so.

It was getting dark, and Nominri was getting more and more irritable. What should I do with this tricky woman?

Locked up in jail? I can't bear it. Staying in the dormitory? Inappropriate.

It hurts hotly in the mouth. This woman, with her teeth sharpened. Peeking in, this woman, changed her clothes, took a bath, and sat there in a big way, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made him hate it even more.

Shu'er combed her hair and said casually, "Okay, thank you Khan for letting me clean up before I die." How are you going to torture me? Whether it is killing or chopping, listen to it. ”

Dengli said angrily: "You slut, you dare to provoke? Someone comes, take her down, lock her up first, and then try her again. ”

The palace man stepped forward and asked, "Where are you locked up?" ”

Dengli said hatefully: "First lock her up in the side hall." ”

In the side hall next to Zhengyang Palace, there are several lower rooms, which are the closest to the Khan's bedroom, which is a place for the attendants and palace maids on duty to rest, which is convenient for temporary service.

The palace people took Shu'er down, found a room at random, let her in, and then locked the door.

Dengli breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Shu'er disappear from her sight.

Headache, real headache.

Only he himself understood in his heart why, let her bathe and leave her in his nearest place.

Subconsciously, he was giving himself time to think about how to conquer this woman who was bent on escaping from him.

Other women tried every possible way to get close to themselves and gain their favor, but she chose to flee.

Do you dislike yourself like this?

She hated herself, hated herself for reducing her to a servant girl and living a humble life. If only that's it, this one is easy.

It's just that she resents that she killed her good sister Qingmei, but she can't do anything about it.

How to melt the hatred in her heart?

Perhaps, there is another reason?

Dengli sulked dejectedly, at a loss.

"The queen has arrived." The voice of the attendant Ding Si sounded outside the door.

It must be for Shu'er, the king has to be quick later, Dengli thought.

Two

The news of the Khan's personal capture of a fugitive concubine spread throughout the royal court, albeit secretly.

When Rong Lan heard the news, her first reaction was to gloat.

With Dengli's temperament, this woman is completely self-defeating.

This is the way you don't go to heaven, and there is no door to hell for you to enter. Bengong kindly let you go, let you be a slave girl, you are not convinced, you want to escape, this time, hit the knife edge, no wonder others.

Rong Lan has been holding her breath for the past few days.

First, the Khan sent someone to bring fruit to Shu'er, and later he even sent a roe deer meat like himself, which made her even more jealous and hateful.

A maidservant, like herself, enjoyed the food given by the Khan, and Rong Lan was eager to spit out the roe deer meat that she had eaten.

She also knew that Dengli had already thought about this toad-like woman. Although he was prescient and took precautions, he still let Shu'er take advantage of the loophole, and he didn't know what trick to use to seduce Dengli.

When Khan sent Doctor Ge to treat Shu'er again, Dengli's thoughts were already clear.

Rong Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Doctor Ge had returned in vain.

As long as Shu'er is still ill, the Khan will never favor her, even if she is tempted for a while, after a long time, it will gradually fade away, just like the dead first Khan.

A woman's favor cannot only rely on a beautiful face, compared to the appearance, a living female body is a fatal temptation for men.

What is the use of a toad-like body, even if it is as beautiful as a fairy?

The Khan was only momentarily bewitched by her appearance.

When he really touches her body, any desire will disappear.

Therefore, Rong Lan's peace is like this.

Now, Shu'er eloped and ran away, committing the taboo of Dengli, if she added a fire at this time and put her to death, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it.

Rong Lan has been in a good mood lately. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Khan rarely went to Anya's, and after dealing with political affairs every day, he only accompanied her, making her feel like she had returned to the past. She didn't want to make a fuss and have another opponent.

Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles.

Therefore, Rong Lan ignored her somewhat bulky body and lost no time in coming.

Rong Lan said in a panic: "It's all because the concubines are not strict in managing the harem, so that there was a case of a maidservant escaping, but fortunately, the khan captured the woman who didn't know what to do, so as not to lose her dignity." Please hand over this audacious slave to the concubine, and the concubine will be disciplined well in accordance with the palace rules. ”

As the queen, Rong Lan manages the harem, which is exactly where her duty lies.

Dengli hesitated.

In the hands of Rong Lan, Shu'er must be dead or alive.

He clearly remembered that time, when he was forcing Princess Ningguo to be martyred, Shu'er stepped forward to plead, but before she could speak, Rong Lan had impatiently ordered her to be demoted to the Huanyi Bureau.

Women are natural enemies, and there is some truth to this.

When he was a child, he witnessed his mother being tortured by the queen.

A woman's jealousy is sometimes a sharp dagger.

Dengli smiled and said: "There are already many affairs in the palace, and the queen's health is important, how can she worry about such a trivial matter?" I'll take care of it, you can raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

Rong Lan said: "So, what does the Khan plan to do with her?" She smiled faintly, staring at Dengli with a pair of bright eyes, and she could see that Dengli was a little weak.

Dengli said sharply: "This woman, dare to turn her back on Ben Khan, if it weren't for the fact that she is the lord of Datang County, Ben Khan will definitely break her body into pieces." ”

Rong Lan pretended to be panicked and said, "Khan is angry. She was also confused for a moment to make such a rebellious act. Please look at the concubine's face, take her lightly and spare her life. ”

Dengli was slightly stunned, and asked casually, "The queen intercedes for her?" ”

Rong Lan sighed: "How can I say it, it's also a sister, how can I bear to see death and not save it?" It's just that she has committed a big crime, and it is difficult to convince the public without punishment, and she can't cheat for personal gain because of the concubine's intercession, which is really embarrassing. ”

"So, in your opinion, what should you do?" ”

Rong Lan looked at Dengli steadily, and said slowly: "If you make a mistake, you must always be punished, otherwise, the law of Sen Sen will become a dead word." In our Tang Dynasty, there is a popular saying, 'The prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.'" Of course, the law is nothing more than human affection, and since he is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, he still needs to be extrajudicial and merciful. Rong Lan's words were in retreat, but he stopped at this time.

Dengli wondered: "What does the queen mean, is it punishment or forgiveness?" Why can't I understand it? ”

Rong Lan straightened her sideburns and said lightly: "The concubine thinks that it may be difficult to set an example for such a fugitive maid to be punished slightly. ”

Dengli listened quietly to her.

Rong Lan finally said: "Break her legs, make her unable to move an inch, see where else she escapes?" ”

Dengli was taken aback.

Dengli was originally just bluffing to test Rong Lan's meaning, and even hoped to use her excuse to intercede and let her hair fall lightly, but he didn't expect Rong Lan to be so vicious after talking eloquently.

Dengli was silent for a long time, nodded, and said: "The queen is thoughtful, not only sparing her life, but also killing a hundred people." ”

Rong Lan only said that he was reluctant to Shu'er, but he didn't know that Dengli had turned a thousand times in an instant, and he had a trace of disgust for her in his heart.

Dengli looked a little tired and said: "This matter is up to the Khan, so don't worry about it." ”

Rong Lan said with concern: "Does the khan still want to interrogate her personally? She was sick, but it was better for Khan to stay away. The dragon body matters. ”

Dengli wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words in his stomach.

If she knew that Shu'er had recovered, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow.

"Ding Si," Dengli instructed, "It's dark, you personally send the queen back to Fengyi Palace." ”

Rong Lan hurriedly said: "Khan." ”

Dengli interrupted her words and continued to instruct Ding Si: "Tell the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair safely." ”

Ding Si agreed repeatedly.

Rong Lan chose to come here when it was dark, just so that she could stay in Zhengyang Palace for the night, although she couldn't get close, she didn't want him to get close to other women, and she didn't expect Dengli to send her back to the palace.

Dengli smiled and said, "Let's go back and rest early." ”

Rong Lan had no choice but to withdraw with Ding Si.

He was in a bad mood, maybe he wanted to be quiet. A delicate rose, but with thorns piercing the hands, can not be climbed, the taste, I think only he knows.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you can't openly shelter a fugitive maid.

Rong Lan sneered.

What a beauty with a broken leg will look like, Rong Lan is really looking forward to it.

Three

Shu'er was locked up in a simple but tidy room. In the room, there is only a bed, a table and a chair.

What he will do with himself, Shu'er doesn't care much.

From the moment I fled, I thought of what would be a failure.

It's a big deal.

After thinking it through, I am not afraid.

What is really scary is that to live, it is better to live than to live.

Looking at the appearance of Dengli, I am afraid that I will not kill myself.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Shu'er's heart pounded.

She had a hunch that tonight, Dengli would definitely come.

His actions, his eyes, all told her that he had to get her.

Shu'er's heart was in turmoil.

As a Tang woman, she has been deeply influenced by the tradition of etiquette since she was a child, and the three obedience and four virtues are the unswerving moral integrity in her heart.

is already pregnant with Donmohe's child, how can he accept another man?

What a shame it is.

How can you allow such a ridiculous thing to happen to yourself.

However, Shu'er is not allowed to sort out her chaotic thoughts, and things have happened unmistakably.

Outside the door, Dengli's deep voice sounded: "Open the door." With a few chains, the door was opened. Shu'er knows that what she should face is always inescapable.

Denri stepped in and closed the door casually.

Shu'er knew that she was scared at this time.
