As soon as Zhou Baolin's words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. There were whispers among the concubines, expressions of surprise, and gloating.
The Holy Emperor's face turned gloomy into a puddle of ink.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" The Holy Master's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Zhou Baolin was dragged to the door just now, so he walked forward on his knees: "I dare not say anything about the nine clans of my concubine. All these things were ordered by the empress. Otherwise, how could I have the ability to reach heaven?"
, where can I get Tongxin Ointment and ‘Long Night’.”
"Zhou Baolin, you are still grabbing and biting randomly when you are about to die." The queen could no longer maintain her dignified and virtuous demeanor, and pointed at her in panic with one hand.
Gu Yu saw Zhou Baolin's slightly distorted face, lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly. It seemed that Zhou Baolin had completely given up.
The queen is now at the end of her fight, and the Emperor will not take this little "Long Night" seriously, but once the Tongxin Cream comes out, it will no longer be a simple fight between concubines in the harem.
I heard my sister say that the Holy Emperor was tortured by the late emperor's concubines when he was young, and he hated the strife in the harem. Since he came to the throne, it's not that he didn't know about the quarrels in the harem, but he just didn't want to admit that he had the same intrigues as the late emperor.
harem.
So he turned a blind eye to many things, and as long as it didn't come to light, he would pretend he didn't know anything about it.
Now that Zhou Baolin has exposed all the abscesses under the peaceful surface of the harem, even if the Holy One wants to whitewash peace, it will no longer work.
My sister was just an introduction to this matter. The Tongxin anointing was found by the Holy Eagle Guards, so I can't blame my anger on my sister. It may even make the Holy One pity my sister even more.
Zhou Baolin's voice sounded again.
"Whether I am biting or not, the empress knows best. Not only Tongxinpao and Changye, the empress also gave me the 'Golden Crow' earlier, asking me to bribe the concubine's maid and poison the sixth prince's cakes.
Fortunately, the Sixth Prince didn't eat the cake, so he saved his life."
"In addition, Zheng Liangyuan's allergies and Yang Meiren's vaginal discharge after childbirth were all caused by my concubine under the instruction of the empress."
When Zheng Liangyuan and Yang Meiren heard this, they immediately stood up, slapped Zhou Baolin several times, and stared at the queen with hateful eyes.
Zhou Baolin was beaten until stars appeared in her eyes. She felt that she had gone crazy. It turned out that she had done so many evil things without knowing it. When she first entered the palace, she was an ignorant girl. How could she suddenly be so guilty?
She recalled that when she went to bed for the first time, the Holy Emperor affectionately called her "Dai'er" in the clouds and rain. Dai'er is the diminutive of Empress Xiaoming. It turned out that she was favored by the Holy Emperor among the three thousand beauties in the harem, but it was because of her filial piety.
The light of mercy to the queen.
Later, she was unwilling to be other people's shadow, and always emphasized to the sage that her name was Cuicui. The sage saw that she was not interested, so he left her out in the cold.
It's really hard to live without favor. She doesn't have a well-off family, and anyone can bully her if she loses her Sacred Heart.
When she fell into a trough, it was the Empress who helped her and told her personally about the words and deeds of Empress Xiaomin, telling her that having such a face was a blessing from God and should not be wasted because of temporary impulsiveness.
Even if she was ridiculed later and said that she was a tiger rather than a dog, it was enough that she could regain the favor of the Holy One and live a life like a master by virtue of this imitation.
She began to look up to the Queen and was willing to be a dog by her side. As long as the Queen hated anyone, she would teach the Queen a lesson.
Under the instigation of the Queen, both covertly and openly, she walked step by step towards the abyss, with her hands covered in sin.
But the Queen was still aloof. When she was of no use, she kicked her away, gave her a cane, and asked her if she would accept it.
She is dissatisfied and hates it.
But she was confused again about what she hated.
Who do you hate? The Holy Lord who treats her as a substitute? The noble concubine who will lead this game? The queen who guides her?
Or herself?
The self that is greedy and vain, the self that is arrogant and domineering, the self that is cruel.
Her life was like a chess piece in the eyes of these superiors, being moved around by them without any control over her.
She knelt on the ground, her face sore from the beatings by Zheng Liangyuan and Yang Meiren. She raised her head and glanced at everyone. Everyone looked at her like they were looking at a rat in the gutter.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Baolin has lost his mind. I have no idea what she said. She just knew that she was bound to die and wanted to take her to be buried with her." The Queen Mother said hurriedly as her body was shaking.
Seeing that the Holy Lord was sitting there without saying a word, the Queen quickly turned to Zhou Baolin: "Zhou Baolin, I gave you the rod punishment just now as a palace rule. You have acknowledged it yourself. Now you are suddenly biting me, what are your intentions?
Who is behind this?"
Zhou Baolin glanced at the Queen, smiled miserably and said: "Queen, besides you, who else can give instructions to my concubines behind my back?"
"It was you who taught me how to imitate Queen Xiaoming and gain the favor of the Holy One. It was also you who anointed my concubine with Tongxin and made the Holy One obsessed with..."
Zhou Baolin's words stopped abruptly, because a sharp sword was inserted into her chest, her pink dress was soaked with blood, and her eyes were filled with shock.
The strange thing is that she can smell the blood on her body, but she can't feel the pain at all. Her mind is filled with memories, and her life flashes through her like a horse, and she has no time to care about the pain.
"Your Majesty, my concubines are also the ones who are more infatuated with you."
As Zhou Baolin spoke, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Some of the concubines screamed and stepped back one after another.
The Holy One pulled out the sword from Zhou Baolin's body. When he swung the sword, the blood from the blade left a trail of blood on the ground. The Queen stood close to the Holy One, and the blood also dropped a few red plums on the hem of her skirt.
Zhou Baolin fell to the ground like mud, his eyes were unfocused, and he looked at Gu Yu in the crowd. After seeing Gu Yu smiling at her and nodding, he finally closed his eyes with relief.
A woman in her prime died just like that. No one will hold on to her evil deeds anymore. Decades later, maybe someone among the people present will still be alive and recall what happened that day.
Only the bright pool of blood in Jingxiu Palace will be left.
No one thought that the Holy Lord, who cherished his reputation, would kill Zhou Baolin with his own hands. After killing the man, the Holy Lord threw the sword in his hand to the Eagle Guard as if nothing had happened.
The Eagle Guard took it with both hands, frowned, and wiped the blood on the sword blade with the sleeves leaking from the gaps in the armor, as if it was a pity that the sword was stained with the blood of a sinner.
Two eunuchs carried Zhou Baolin out, and then two more eunuchs came carrying buckets and quickly wiped away the blood stains on the ground.
After a few breaths of time, the gorgeous main hall of Jingxiu Palace was restored to its original appearance.
There was silence in the temple, no one dared to speak, for fear of being punished to death in the wrath of the Holy One.
The Holy Emperor held the eighteen beads in his hand, and the sound of the beads turning was very steady. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to speculate.
After a long while, I heard him say, "The queen has something to say."
