Chapter 29 You are quite sensible

"Pull it down"

Fangrui wanted to give some advice.

The queen gave her a sharp look and she immediately shut up.

Lin Ximeng was quickly taken to the darkroom of Jiaofang Palace.

There are rules in the palace. The master is not allowed to abuse lynching and beat or scold him at will. No one will go to Gong Zhengsi's prison cell easily.

But it is inevitable that the masters have some bad feelings and dislike everyone.

At this time, each palace master will have his own method.

For example, Jiaofang Palace

The queen set aside a separate room as a darkroom to punish the palace maids and eunuchs who had committed crimes but could not tell anyone about them.

The criminal law here is extremely horrific.

It can not only torture a person to the point of wanting to live, but also make the wound invisible to outsiders.

The only thing that can be seen is that he is not in good spirits and looks bad. At this time, just saying that he is sick can cover up everything.

Lin Ximeng was taken to such a darkroom.

There was no punishment on the first day, just the cold.

During the first lunar month, I had to freeze all night in an empty room, with no charcoal basin, no quilt, not even a piece of straw.

She huddled in the corner all night and couldn't even walk when she got up early the next day.

During the day, someone brought her a bowl of cold rice.

Lin Ximeng held back her teeth from chattering and wolfed down the food, feeling better at night.

But she still started to have a high fever in the early morning of the third day.

When the person who came to deliver the meal reported the news to the queen, the sixth prince was trying the medicine for the queen.

The queen smiled softly.

"What a weak and spoiled guest. She has been exhausted for just two or three days and she can't stand it any longer. Your Majesty, you'd better take her back as soon as possible. The empress is already much better. There's no need for her to waste time here."

"Since she was sent to serve her mother, how can she be taken away at will?"

Xie Chenyu personally fed the queen the medicine, spoon by spoon carefully.

"If it hadn't been for the mother's upbringing these years, the child's life would have been lost long ago. Even though the son is ridiculous, he still understands these principles."

The Queen shook her head in pain: "You can call me Queen, and there will be no need to mention these things."

"Since you have filial piety, let her stay for a few more days before coming back. It will be considered as fulfilling your filial piety for you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother"

"But let's make a deal first. If your beauty gets sick again, you can't blame the queen mother."

"Don't worry, my son knows it"

After coming out of Jiaofang Palace, Xie Chenyu left without looking back.

After returning to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to ensure safety, he immediately called several of his confidants.

"Go and find out where Jiao Fang Gong Lin is?"

For two days in a row, no one had seen him. Just being sick alone was not enough to convince him.

No one knows these tricks in the palace better than him.

The boys clasped their fists and left. Xie Chenyu sat alone in the study, leaving only Zhao Hai standing guard outside the door.

——

"Hey Master Zhao, it's not that I don't want to inform you, but I am really busy. You might as well come back another day?"

Zhao Hai stopped Zhao Liangdi while crying and laughing.

"Sister Lin came to the palace to fulfill her filial piety for the master. I only regret that I am incompetent. I only stewed a few cups of soup to supplement the master. No matter how busy the master is, he still has to eat and drink, right?"

Zhao Liangdi, who was born in the Wu family, has no idea what elegance is.

He was carrying a food box in both hands, dodging Zhao Hai's obstructions from left to right.

"Master Liangdi, would you like me to carry it in for you? When Master is free, I will definitely present it to you and say you did it for me."

"Are you really that busy?" Zhao Liangdi was obviously unwilling. She had not seen her master for a long time.

"How dare I lie to you? You see, there is not even a single waiter in the study. The master specifically ordered that no one be disturbed." Zhao Hai started to grin.

"Oh well"

Zhao Liangdi reluctantly handed the food box to Zhao Hai, and turned around and left, not forgetting to remind her over and over again that she made it.

"I understand, Master, please come back."

Zhao Liangdi was finally sent away, and Zhao Hai was about to go in with a food box, only to hear one sentence coming from inside.

"Get out"

"Master, this is..."

"roll!!"

Zhao Hai rolled away in a hurry.

The cold wind at the door was biting. He took the food box, smoothed his messed up hair, and turned back to his house.

Next to the glowing red charcoal fire, Zhao Hai sat on a felt chair and put his feet on the side of the brazier to roast. He took a big sip of the hot soup cup and felt so comfortable that he shivered all over.

"Hey, if the master doesn't drink, it will be an advantage for the slave."

"Codonopsis pilosula, black chicken, stewed with wolfberry, nourishes yin and yang and replenishes qi. This old slave has enjoyed it all his life."

At this time, in the backyard, Zhao Liangdi was holding her stomach in frustration.

"I almost vomited after drinking the abortion pill, and my master didn't even come to my house."

"My master was here before, but ever since Lin Ximeng came, my master no longer sees me. How can I get pregnant if I go on like this?"

Aunt Zhao obviously also realized the seriousness of the matter.

In the past, the master was considered favored, and there was still hope after drinking some abortion pills.

Now the master doesn't come at all, and no matter how much medicine he drinks, he can't turn into a child.

"In the final analysis, it is the Lin family who is too evil, seducing the master to pamper her alone."

"If it is really such a hindrance, then it has to be removed," Aunt Zhao agreed.

"But how could I ever have the chance to do it? I buried the Zhou family with my own hands last time!"

Recalling the experience of that mass grave, Zhao Liangdi would not dare to think of these crooked ideas even if she died.

"But what if she got sick and died?" Aunt Zhao blinked thoughtfully.

"What's the meaning?"

"You said Mrs. Zhou, why did she die?"

"My master beat him to death, he died so tragically," Zhao Liangdi curled her lips.

"Yeah, it's such a tragic death, so..." Aunt Zhao hesitated before speaking.

Zhao Liangdi didn't understand and kept asking questions.

She just smiled and said these things were left to her.

Zhao Liangdi couldn't ask, so she had no choice but to ignore it.

——

Two days later, Lin Ximeng still had a high fever. She was talking nonsense and her will began to blur.

After all, the queen couldn't kill her, so she called the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her.

In this way, the news flowed out directly.

After learning that Lin Ximeng was ill and was locked in a darkroom and tortured, Xie Chenyu pursed her lips and sat in front of the desk without saying anything for a long time.

In Jiaofang Palace, two hours after Lin Ximeng drank a bowl of bitter black concoction, her fever finally subsided.

At this time, Lin Ximeng was kneeling in front of the Queen's bed.

"Thank you for your grace, please spare my life."

"Do you hate me?" the queen said condescendingly.

"I don't dare"

"It's okay if you don't dare," the queen chuckled.

"I want to let you live just to tell you that no matter what tricks you dare to play, the Six Kings will not save you, and they will definitely not be able to save you."

"I know that this life was given to me by my empress, and I am willing to go to any lengths to repay my empress."

Lin Ximeng was respectful, holding her breath and concentrating, not daring to breathe.

The queen stared at it for a long time and found nothing wrong, so she had to wave.

"Get up, you are quite sensible and know what you should do."

Lin Ximeng stood up and was about to step aside, but the Queen stopped her again.

"You said you have a way to take care of my body, but is that true?"

Lin Ximeng's heart skipped a beat and she raised her head suddenly.

“It’s true”
