"Eniang." The Thirteenth Brother was frightened and called Lan Qi softly. She came back to her senses, patted the child lying next to her, coaxed him a few times, and then called the wet nurse to take care of the Thirteenth Brother.
Brother, take it away.
Huan Chun had already stood up from the ground, standing weakly holding on to the chair beside him. Lan Qi said angrily: "You used to beat Xiangyue Yukui and the others, and your hands were very strong. Today, you are so tired.
Is it okay? I see you didn’t hit hard enough."
"Master, if you really don't feel sorry for me, why are you still crying?" Huan Chun lowered his head and said with tears, "My hands are so weak. The fourth elder brother is such a good boy. It's not a big mistake, so why should I beat him?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Sooner or later, Thirty-Four will be spoiled by you guys like this." Lan Qi said tough words, but her expression was not strong. Instead, she begged Huan Chun to lay her down. If she leaned against her like this for a while, her waist would be too much to bear.
When Huan Chun came up to serve him, Lan Qi saw that the mouth of her palm was red and a layer of skin was slightly worn away, so she blurted out: "It's been so worn that you hit him hard?"
"Are you finally feeling distressed?" Huan Chun laughed through tears. After carefully laying his master down, he touched his hand and said, "I don't remember this. I was reluctant to use force at first. You scolded me a few times before you used it a little."
The force is strong, but when I saw Brother Si trembling, I really couldn’t be cruel, but after hitting him for more than ten times, no matter how gentle he was afterwards, it would be useless.”
"He deserves it." Even so, the mother's eyes were filled with distress.
Huan Chun was puzzled: "Why does the empress insist on beating the Fourth Brother? There is really nothing wrong with telling this matter."
She let out a long sigh and said: "No one would believe such a reason as fishing. I beat him because he lied, but after beating him like this and he refused to tell me, I knew I couldn't ask any more questions. Besides, I never
I told him not to get involved with the prince, but he did something like this. I didn't really prevent him from getting in touch with the prince. After all, they are brothers, but other people wouldn't think so. I beat him because
Do it for others to see, so that others won’t throw dirty water behind your back.”
Lan Qi stretched out her hand to hold Huan Chun and said: "Yin Zhen will not hold any grudge against you. I will tell him properly later that if I had not been able to get up today, I would have beaten him myself. Fortunately for you, I feel less guilty."
.I can’t bear to hit my son’s body and hurt my mother’s heart.”
Huan Chun gasped and said: "My slave's hands are still shaking. Why did I feel relieved when I beat Xiangyue in the past? I just beat the fourth brother and my soul is gone."
Just as Xiangyue and Yukui came in with the medicine, Xiangyue smiled and said to Lan Qi: "Sister, she used to beat me to death."
Yukui pushed her away and said: "Master, the prince has a fever. The fever is very severe. The emperor has asked the Queen Mother to take care of him in Ningchun Hall. Our fourth brother cannot be negligent. Maybe it has not been issued yet. Please don't punish me again."
Well, at least wait until your body recovers."
Lan Qi was worried about the prince and sighed at them: "When the little brothers grow up, you will not be allowed to do this. I will still discipline them in the future."
Several people agreed to wash themselves and take medicine. Huan Chun also went to clean up because he was crying. Outside the door, he heard a few young eunuchs saying: "I don't know where Eunuch Liang is going. The one who is following Master Long Live today is his apprentice. Is it okay?"
Will Eunuch Liang ask the emperor to sack him because of the prince's affairs?"
Huan Chun was also a little curious, so she simply sent someone to inquire. Sure enough, Eunuch Liang was nowhere to be found in the garden. When she turned around to talk to her master, Lan Qi asked, "Have you gone back to the palace?"
At this moment, in the Changchun Palace in the Forbidden City, the palace maids and eunuchs are also recruiting people. Early in the morning, Yanzhu said that he was going to the minister's room but he didn't come back. The affairs in front of the master are also handled by others. Concubine Hui is used to Yanzhu recently, so naturally she cares about it.
Where did she go? No one down there could tell her why, so they had to send someone to look for her.
But after a morning of searching in the palace, no one saw her in the royal room, and no one in the palace had even seen her. Concubine Hui gradually became a little uneasy, wondering if Mingzhu had been looking for her, how could she
Thinking of it, Mr. Liang returned to the palace overnight last night and sent people to guard outside Changchun Palace early in the morning. He told him to arrest Yanzhu whenever he saw him, regardless of whether there was anyone around at any time. What a coincidence, she ran out without knowing it early in the morning.
What are you doing? You are almost rushing to be arrested.
There is a secret room in the Shenxing Department, which is the "underworld" that not many people in the palace know about. When Eunuch Liang was brought here by his master and told about this dark place in the palace, he was so frightened that his legs were weak and he almost crawled out, but as soon as he
Over the years, he has learned to be ruthless and ruthless, and now he is sitting there drinking tea, leisurely.
Yanzhu was tied to a shelf and had been whipped several times. She fainted and was doused with cold water twice and was now dying. There were several iron brands on the stove nearby that were burning scarlet, as if they would be used to roast her at any time.
Skin and flesh, the last little bit of persistence is about to collapse and disintegrate.
But when he saw Eunuch Liang coming over with a teapot, he tutted: "Yanzhu, we are about the same age, but you are better than me. A well-rounded person, you will not be able to do anything in the future. Even if you are released now, you will not be able to get married and have children."
It's not difficult, I can give you a bright road to take, but if you are unwilling to take it, there is nothing I can do."
Yanzhu was breathing heavily. People would instinctively want to save themselves in desperate situations. She had just been caught and whipped a few times. She thought that if she insisted that she didn't know anything, they would let her go, but obviously that wouldn't work. She
She was found to have known something, and what awaited her now was an even more vicious punishment.
A wretched-looking eunuch on the side wrapped a handful of iron irons in a thick cloth, picked it up and put it into the bucket. Smoke evaporated from the charming eyes with a sizzling sound. Yanzhu screamed in horror, and everyone laughed ferociously.
An eunuch came up and slapped her in the face and said, "Have you thought clearly about what Manager Liang asked you? If you don't answer, your lower body will be burned to death. We will not be able to see you well even if we have no roots."
As he spoke, he pinched her lower body hard. Yan Zhu was so scared that his eyes turned white, but his chin was quickly pinched and he asked, "Are you going to tell me?"
Yanzhu cried miserably: "I said... Manager Liang, let me live..."
An hour later, Eunuch Liang walked out of the "underworld". The world outside was free of blood and crying and howling. He also took off his vicious mask and let out a long sigh of relief. The matter was finally clarified and he could finally give birth.
The emperor gave an explanation. A eunuch followed behind him, and he handed over General Manager Liang's hat diligently, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work, General Manager. Now you have to go back to Changchun Garden to run an errand? Otherwise, Xiao De must have prepared wine and food to show his respect."
You, you are so busy traveling that you didn’t bother to take a sip of the good tea.”
Eunuch Liang felt a little nauseous. She was indeed someone who had been in the Sentence Division for many years and was indifferent to the shouting and killing. At least she didn't want to touch meat for ten days and a half after watching Yanzhu die.
The eunuch from the Shenxing Department asked again: "General Manager, what should I do with the body of the palace maid?"
Eunuch Liang straightened the hat on his head, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and said slowly: "Take ice and freeze it first. I will tell you from Changchun Garden whether to throw it away in a mass grave or find another place to go."
My words."
After saying these words, Eunuch Liang hurriedly left, rushing back to Changchun Garden before dark. The emperor must be in a hurry. If it took him several days to deal with a palace maid, then he would not continue to eat this meal.
When he returned to Changchun Garden, he didn't bother to ask about the prince's fever and the beating of his fourth brother, and went straight to Qingxi Bookstore. Unfortunately, Master Mingzhu answered in the study. He felt guilty and hid aside, waiting for Mingzhu to leave.
When he arrived in front of the emperor, Xuan Ye asked, "Did you collide with the Pearl?"
Eunuch Liang said that he had avoided it and did not dare to talk nonsense and said quickly: "Long live my lord, I pried it out of Yanzhu's mouth. The matter of the wolf in the garden this time was indeed done by Master Mingzhu, but not by Concubine Hui."
Knowing this, Master Mingzhu asked Concubine Hui to tell the eldest brother not to be in the limelight in front of you. Thinking that the two things go hand in hand, they were afraid that the eldest brother would rescue people. The servant asked Yan
Zhu, that wolf was obviously raised by the prince's uncle and grandpa. How could Lord Mingzhu find someone to bring him into the garden? Yanzhu said she didn't know, and the slaves tortured and interrogated but couldn't find out anything. But he told Lord Mingzhu to bring a message to the palace.
, I really told Concubine Hui that what happened this time was the adult’s idea, and that Concubine Hui must tell her eldest brother well, if you don’t force yourself to come forward, don’t risk your life. There is one more thing..."
Eunuch Liang paused for a moment. Seeing that the emperor was impatient, he quickly said: "Yan Zhu said that Master Mingzhu and Concubine Hui are thinking of ways to let the eldest brother go to the battlefield as soon as possible to make contributions."
Xuan Ye sneered: "It's unnecessary, I had such a plan." For some reason, it was confirmed that it was the Mingzhu group who did it. Xuan Ye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Surprisingly, he was not angry. It seemed that he had thought this way. More importantly,
The eldest brother didn't lie to him. The child really didn't know about this. And the prince... thinking of the prince, he couldn't help but feel worried.
But he won't conclude that this matter has nothing to do with Suo'etu based on Yanzhu's few words. Two old foxes are competing and know themselves and the enemy. Just as he can plant spies in any corner, Suo'etu and Mingzhu will do the same to each other. Then,
It is now unknown who the person who raised the wolf belongs to, but how could Suo'etu not see such a thing? It may not be that he deliberately pushed the boat to make mistakes. Anyway, it is an obstacle for them, no matter how big or small, it will be cleared away.
good.
What reassured Xuan Ye was that this time the children were all innocent and no one had lied to him.
Thinking of this, the incident between the prince and the fourth elder brother last night came to mind again. Someone has come to report that the prince's fever has gone away and his condition is stable. On the contrary, the fourth elder brother was beaten badly and he probably won't be able to get out of bed for three or two days. He will be recovering for the time being.
In Ruijingxuan.
Xuan Ye now ordered Eunuch Liang: "Send someone to send a message to Ruijingxuan and send Brother Si back to Taoyuan Bookstore."
The injuries on Yinzhen's body were all on his buttocks. He couldn't sit down and study until the swelling subsided. But his father sent someone to send a message and asked him to return to Taoyuan Bookstore immediately. He was only given one day off. He would lie down for a day tomorrow and he would recover the day after tomorrow.
Classwork. For some reason, the fourth elder brother wanted to see E Niang in a particularly hopeless way. He felt that it would be easier to go back and beg for mercy from E Niang than to be greeted by his brothers. When he thought of going back to the lake,
He had to be questioned by his brothers and had to watch him lying down, which made his intestines turn blue.
Not long after the Fourth Brother was carried away, word spread outside that the Holy Emperor was coming. Huan Chun and others hurried in to pack up and prepare to pick up the Emperor. Lan Qi had not seen Xuan Ye for several days, so she asked them to comb their hair and apply a thin layer of water on their faces.
A layer of makeup, not wanting him to see her embarrassment.
As soon as Xuan Ye entered the door and saw Lan Qi still lying down, he said, "Are you afraid of pain so you don't dare to move? In fact, you have already recovered? You haven't been moving, but you really can't move."
Lan Qi blinked and looked at him, secretly feeling that Xuan Ye seemed to be in a good mood, and a smile appeared on her face, feeling relieved.
