Chapter 11: The Battle of the Harem

As the fingers tightened, the pain intensified. Concubine Hua's expression became extremely painful, clenching her teeth hard, and the pain of her ten fingers connected her heart made Concubine Hua's body begin to struggle desperately, but at this time she was tied to the pillar, even if she tried her best, she still couldn't break free from the torture brought by this finger swing.

And Concubine Xiao was even more distressed in her heart, but she had to continue to tighten her fingers, and Concubine Hua's advice to her was still echoing in her ears: "If you want to win Guo Qiuyue, you must learn to be ruthless, you and I are no longer sisters, but enemies, enemies ......"

This voice has been circling in Concubine Xiao's mind, and she almost collapsed after being tortured, and suddenly Concubine Xiao roared madly: "Ah-" and then used all her strength to tighten her fingers.

Concubine Hua couldn't bear this inhuman torture due to the severe pain, her face began to turn pale, and cold sweat flowed from her forehead. The back was already wet, and seeing this scene, Guo Qiuyue on the side laughed constantly, with a proud face.

The servants and a few maids next to him saw this terrifying scene, and their legs were weak in fright, and they didn't dare to breathe. Standing to the side in a daze, looking at Concubine Hua, who was extremely arrogant when she was favored in the past, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

Since Guo Qiuyue entered the palace, this palace has become a formidable hell on earth, and everyone has become cautious in their words and deeds, for fear that if they accidentally anger Guo Qiuyue, they will be tortured to death by her. Her behavior was so vicious and bloody that the maids and servants beside her were like little sheep with tigers and wolves as companions. At all times, they are in danger of dying without a place to bury.

Concubine Hua couldn't bear the severe pain and fainted again. At this time, Concubine Xiao let go of her hand, she really couldn't bear to torture Concubine Hua again, but she had to pretend to turn a blind eye to Concubine Hua's pain. I struggled inwardly, but I had a smile on my face.

"Concubine Guo, Concubine Hua has fainted to death. Do you want to wake her up again?"

Guo Qiuyue glanced at Concubine Hua, who had been tortured, and waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I can't let her die." It's too cheap for her to die, and before she stakes Shang Yuetai, leave her alive for the time being. ”

Then Guo Qiuyue turned around and said, "Come on, put Concubine Hua in prison and keep her under strict supervision." No one is allowed to approach Concubine Hua without my orders, and anyone who violates my orders will be killed. Did you hear me?"

Everyone nodded and said, "Slave, slave obeys Concubine Guo's order." ”

Guo Qiuyue waved her cuffs and said, "Drive back to the palace!"

Concubine Hua was imprisoned for cursing Guo Qiuyue with witchcraft, and Concubine Xiao successfully used bitter meat tricks to gain Guo Qiuyue's trust, and successfully approached Guo Qiuyue, temporarily eliminating Guo Qiuyue's killing intentions against herself.

But Guo Qiuyue did not let go of the torture of Concubine Hua because Concubine Hua was imprisoned, a few days later. Guo Qiuyue came to the prison and tortured Concubine Hua again.

This incident alarmed the current queen mother, since the death of the first emperor, the queen mother of Xiaojia moved to Jianing Palace to recuperate, I thought that there is Zhao Yin of the current Xiangguo to preside over the overall situation, Emperor Wu Wei will be much more restrained, but never thought that Emperor Wu Wei was confused by the demon concubine, and actually arranged the first emperor to his auxiliary ministers to gouge out his eyes, pierce his ears, and cut his tongue.

He also forced Jiang Bing, the secretary of Dali Temple, to death, and this Emperor Wuwei killed loyal ministers and good generals soon after he ascended the throne, which was repaid. Now Guo Qiuyue has occupied the harem again, although the current queen has a real name, she is empty. Guo Qiuyue was in charge of the affairs of the harem, and the queen knew that she was not Guo Qiuyue's opponent, so she chose to calm down.

Every day, only incense is burned in the ancestral hall to worship the Buddha, and the Buddha recites sutras. Now that she heard that Concubine Hua was fingered, the queen couldn't bear to let this great country be ruined in the hands of Guo Qiuyue, so she had to go to the Empress Dowager Xiaojia to stop Guo Qiuyue's tragic atrocity and suppress Guo Qiuyue's arrogance in the palace.

If it weren't for the current queen Han Xueruo, who came to Jianing Palace to tell the Empress Dowager Xiaojia about all the things that happened during this time, the Empress Dowager would not know at all. Guo Qiuyue is insidious and vicious, and she is a servant and maid in the palace. They didn't dare to say a word in this palace, for fear of provoking Guo Qiuyue and being poisoned.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately became furious: "What? Today, Zhao Yin of Xiangguo was poisoned, and Jiang Bing died tragically at home. Why the old body doesn't know at all, Zhao Yin followed the ancestor emperor at the age of sixteen to fight in the south and the north, and made immortal contributions to the Dongsheng country, and was the founder of the country who assisted the three emperors. ”

"Wu Wei, how can my son do this to him because of his advice, a snake and scorpion poisonous woman like Guo Qiuyue must no longer let her do whatever she wants, mess with my dynasty, and destroy my Dongsheng country's foundation. Ruo'er, help the mother to get up, the queen mother will go to meet this poisonous woman. ”

Empress Han Xueruo hurriedly helped the Empress Dowager Xiaojia to get up, and then said, "Queen Mother, Ruo'er still doesn't know whether to say it for a while?"

Empress Dowager Xiaojia held Han Xueruo's hand with one hand, patted her arm lightly with the other, and said with a kind face: "Ruo'er, it's okay to say it directly, if there is anything, the old man is your master." ”

Then Han Xueruo said embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, now Guo Qiuyue is fascinated by His Majesty, and every day she either drinks and has fun in the Xiaoyao Palace, or she secretly mingles with Guo Qiuyue in Yongle Palace, and she has not come to my Qingning Palace for a long time." ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen wants to give birth to a son and a half daughter with His Majesty, so as to continue the dragon vein, and beg the Queen Mother to help Erchen think of a way. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, pointed at Han Xueruo, who was shy, and said, "Ruo'er, why are you so shy, don't worry about the queen mother's decision for you." ”

Guo Qiuyue tortured Concubine Hua privately, she had no royal law, and she committed the following crimes, she thought she could be the master of this harem. If the queen is here, it is not her turn to be powerful in this harem, and this matter must be severely punished. Ruo'er, let's go ......"

At this time, Guo Qiuyue was in prison and used torture on Concubine Hua. Last time, Concubine Hua's hands had not healed due to torture, and within a few days, she was destroyed by Guo Qiuyue again, but this time Guo Qiuyue cut off all ten of Concubine Hua's fingers.

After pinching off his fingers, he hung Concubine Hua up and beat him severely, this time it was Concubine Xiao who was executed, and Concubine Xiao was beating hard.

Suddenly, the voice of the big internal official came from outside the cell: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

As soon as she heard the queen mother, Concubine Xiao immediately stopped beating in a panic, Guo Qiuyue was stunned at first, then regained her calmness, and stepped forward to salute: "The son has seen the queen mother." ”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, and said with dissatisfaction on her face: "Excuse me, what crime did Concubine Hua commit? Why is she imprisoned in this deep prison?"

Guo Qiuyue hurriedly greeted her with a smile and said, "After enlightening her mother, Concubine Hua performed witchcraft and cursed her concubines not to die well, and her behavior was bad. He had to be punished severely, so he was imprisoned here. ”

The Empress Dowager still looked angry, glanced at Guo Qiuyue and said, "Oh, even if Concubine Hua behaves badly, the queen should also uphold justice. Even if Concubine Hua is guilty, it should be tried by Dali Temple, what crime should you be guilty of using the punishment privately?"

Guo Qiuyue was speechless for a while, and said hesitantly: "This, this ......"

The queen mother waved her hand and said: "Someone came, tied up Guo Qiuyue, handed it over to Dali Temple for trial, handed over the matter of Concubine Hua to the queen to deal with, and Concubine Xiao helped to take her away for abuse and drove back to the palace." ”

Guo Qiuyue was arrested by the queen mother because she had no royal law, and Concubine Xiao was also arrested for participating in the matter, and the two were handed over to Dali Temple to hear the matter.

Concubine Hua was taken to the queen's bedroom, and the queen did not ask too much about this matter, who is who is not the queen or very clear, after returning to Qingning Palace, she found a royal doctor to treat the wound, and asked the imperial dining room to make some black chicken soup for Concubine Hua to nourish her body.

When Emperor Wu Wei heard that Guo Qiuyue had been arrested, he was anxious. Hurriedly ran to Jianing Palace to intercede for him, and as soon as he entered Jianing Palace, he said with a worried face: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, why do you want to lock up Concubine Guo? Concubine Hua used witchcraft to curse Concubine Guo, and the sons agreed that Concubine Guo punished Concubine Hua, and the queen mother should blame the sons and daughters!"

When the queen mother saw Wu Wei coming to intercede for her, she was angry and didn't fight anywhere. Guo Qiuyue not only confused Wu Wei to kill Zhongliang, but also made Wu Wei indulge in wine and ignore the government from then on. The hundred-year-old foundation of Dongsheng Kingdom will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and he will die one day, how should he face his ancestors.

Then the Empress Dowager got up angrily and said: "Bold, as the king of a country, you are not diligent in governance, and you are fascinated by Guo Qiuyue all day long, and your playthings are discouraged, are you right about your ancestors?"

Although Wu Wei was tyrannical, he still had filial piety to his mother. Seeing the queen mother's anger, she immediately smiled and said courteously: "Queen Mother, don't be angry, your sons will change, you must change." As long as the queen mother is willing to forgive Concubine Guo, I will listen to you for everything. ”

The queen mother was half angry, and she glanced at the poor Emperor Wu Wei angrily, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, as long as you promise the queen mother one thing, the queen mother will let her go." ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Wu Wei was excited and hurriedly said: "Promise, I will promise the queen mother everything, don't say one, I will promise the queen mother ten and one hundred things." ”

The Empress Dowager sat on the top of the main hall and said: "Well, the queen mother has long hoped for her grandson, if your child is the queen, if you can't give birth to an heir for Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate, so let's do it! ”

Wu Wei was a little embarrassed after hearing this, after all, he didn't have any feelings with the queen, if it weren't for the fact that the first emperor would marry him the daughter of General Han Zhenbei, who guarded the frontier and had an army of 200,000, and killed him, he would not agree, but he was still the prince at that time, and marrying Han Xueruo was also a helpless move.

It's good now, but the queen mother forced him to sleep with Han Xueruo in the same bed, and he had to be husband and wife. Although Han Xueruo is the queen, Wu Wei has never touched her. Han Xueruo is the mother of a country, and the mother is the world. I don't know how to please Wu Wei, I have been very strict since I was a child, I have always been reserved, and I don't know how to scratch my head and make a posture.

There is no way to capture Wu Wei's favor for her at all, if Han Xueruo didn't care about it in the past, after Guo Qiuyue entered the palace, she realized the threat, if Guo Qiuyue was allowed to get the dragon son first, but she has always been so unfavored, if Guo Qiuyue's child becomes the prince in the future, won't she have no support in this deep palace.

Therefore, Han Xueruo took the initiative to seek the help of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally did not want Guo Qiuyue to give birth to the dragon son first, at this time, Guo Qiuyue was arrested because she had no royal law, and just coerced Emperor Wu Wei to forcibly share the bed with Han Xueruo.

As long as Han Xueruo gives birth to a dragon son, she will become the prince smoothly. With this kind of relationship, Han Zhenbei will be determined to the ground, and then have no other heart to defend the frontier for Dongsheng Kingdom, so that the queen mother will feel much more at ease.

But Wu Wei didn't want to do so much, he knew that Dongsheng was strong and strong, and the treasury had enough grain and grass, and no one dared to offend. That's why he has no fear, drinks all day long, and ignores the government.

Although Wu Wei is embarrassed, Guo Qiuyue is still imprisoned in prison, and the queen mother can't be offended, so he can't be allowed to go against his mother's wishes.

Then he said reluctantly: "Okay, since the queen mother wants a dragon grandson, how can the son refuse." This matter is the son of the minister promised the queen mother. ”

Since then, the battle between the deceitful and deceitful in this harem has begun, thus hastening the decline of the Dongsheng Kingdom......
