Chapter 848 Immediate death
"Wait!" Seeing that Eunuch Zhao was about to exit the threshold, the emperor suddenly stopped again.

Eunuch Zhao came back in a hurry and waited for the order with his hands down. The emperor's face was gloomy, and he pondered for a long time before he said coldly: "Go and pass on my oral order, first go to Dai Wang's mansion, and ask Dai Wang, since you have received my errand, why don't you deal with it quickly?" ? Also, let Luo Pei take office quickly without further delay!"

"Yes! This old servant will do it now!" Eunuch Zhao hurriedly bent over to respond.

The emperor's face sank like water, and he turned around after speaking, staring at the candlelight with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, Eunuch Zhao backed away slowly, leaving the hall all the way, then turned around and strode outside, wiped off his sweat, asked someone else to ask, and then walked towards the queen.

"Grandpa Zhao, do you still want to go to the Queen's place this late?" Seeing some rain, a little eunuch cleverly stepped forward to help put on the coir raincoat, and at the same time asked cautiously.

Eunuch Zhao glanced coldly: "In the palace, if you want to live longer, you must learn to shut up when you should."

"Yes, yes! The villain has been taught!" The little eunuch was so frightened that his expression changed, and he hurriedly said.

Seeing Mr. Zhao going away, the little eunuch ran away. At this time, it was late at night and there was dew in the night. Concubine Wei ran to the palace, and after walking a few steps, she was suddenly stopped by a group of eunuchs.

"Take it!" The head eunuch shouted coldly.

"Eunuch Hong, please forgive me..." The little eunuch turned pale with fright, and wanted to beg for mercy. The two eunuchs rushed forward, gagged their mouths with a towel, dragged it down immediately, and pressed them on the bench.

"Call our house!"

"Hmm..." The little eunuch still wanted to struggle, so he hit him hard with a slap.

"one two Three"

Accompanied by counting and shouting, the thick torture stick mercilessly fell on the young eunuch's waist and legs, and after only a few strokes, the bright red blood stained his clothes.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen... twenty!"

After ten sticks, the little eunuch, who was still struggling at the beginning, was silent and motionless. Blood dripped down the soaked clothes, forming a pool of blood under the bench.

Everyone watched coldly, Eunuch Hong waved his hand: "Stop!"

Someone went up to check his breath, raised his head and said, "He's gone."

"It's fine if it's gone. There's no need for this kind of unruly person in the palace." Eunuch Hong dropped the tea served by the little eunuch, and said coldly, getting up.

He knew that he couldn't survive, the rules in the palace, if you want to give a way to survive, you can tell the number of sticks, this kind of people who don't tell the number will be beaten to death, the eunuch who tortured him will beat him hard, ten sticks will actually kill him, and after ten sticks , is to prevent impenetrable death.

This has happened in the palace before.

"What sound did you hear?" Concubine Wei suddenly listened carefully on the imperial road and asked.

Both the maids and the eunuchs shook their heads: "Your Majesty, the servants have never heard the voice."

That is wrong.

Concubine Wei suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and continued to walk towards the queen.

As a concubine, according to the rules, I usually go to the queen's place to say hello in the morning.

But the empress has been exempting the concubine from asking for greetings in the morning since more than ten years ago, and has been closing the palace door, not seeing concubines, and not seeing outsiders easily.

That is, in the past year, there has been a gradual change.

But the concubine still didn't have to go to pay her respects. Concubine Wei carefully recalled that she and the queen hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.

In her mind, she was still a middle-aged beautiful woman with a gentle smile more than ten years ago. She was wearing a phoenix robe and could even reveal tenderness in her eyes. Such a woman had experienced the death of the prince and the punishment of the prince. Now What will it be like?

Concubine Wei was a little nervous, especially when she suddenly invited her over, she couldn't help but think more.

When she was approaching the entrance of the hall, the lights inside were brightly lit, she stopped suddenly, covered her heart, and her face turned pale.

Sudden palpitations made it difficult for her to breathe.

The female officer who came with her heard the movement and saw that her face was not right, so she was also taken aback. She hurried forward and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what happened? But you are not feeling well?"

"Nothing." Concubine Wei whispered, "It's just a little uneasy."

Seeing that her complexion slowly recovered, the female officer believed that nothing happened, and lowered her voice: "But because of the queen?"

"No." Concubine Wei shook her head.

The female officer reassured: "I have arrived at the gate and I have to go to worship, but don't worry, King Lu is now getting his concubine. You are his mother and concubine. From this point of view, the empress will not make things difficult."

Concubine Wei glanced at the female officer. In the past ten years, this woman has been supporting her, and she can be called her confidant. Her words really calmed Concubine Wei's emotions effectively.

She nodded and went in.

Along the way, I could see that the hall where the empress temporarily moved was a little small, but it was small because the empress moved here, decorated with resplendent and magnificent decorations, exuding a kind of atmosphere, much more majestic than the residence of Concubine Wei.

In the heart of the emperor, the first wife and the original match are different.

Concubine Wei was also favored at times, especially in the past ten years, she was also favored by King Lu for two years because of her cuteness and beauty when she was young, and it was also at that time that she was promoted to Concubine Wei.

But at that time, she had never seen so many good things.

These treasures should all be bestowed to the empress by the emperor recently, right?
After all, the queen's palace was affected some time ago. The tiles fell, smashed many furnishings, and killed many craftsmen. Even if some objects were rescued, it seemed to bring bad luck. Will not be sent to this new residence again.

"The concubine has seen the empress!" Walking in, she saw a woman sitting in the middle of the hall, wearing private clothes, looking over, Concubine Wei didn't dare to look too much, she hurriedly restrained her expression, Zhuang Jing saw you.

"Concubine Wei, free from courtesy, let me be flat." A voice came from above: "Come here, give Concubine Wei a seat."

A court lady came forward to help her up, and someone brought a round stool and put it next to the head, inviting Concubine Wei to sit down.

"Thank you, empress." Concubine Wei said hurriedly, and it was only at this moment that Concubine Wei could see clearly the appearance of the woman sitting in the upper seat.

Before, I only saw a dress in lotus color embroidered with a phoenix, but now it slowly moves to the face, the dignified and beautiful face has no makeup, and has some traces of time, which is somewhat different from the beautiful woman ten years ago .

It can be said that there is a big difference, but it seems that it is not big.

Her eyes are still dark and gentle, her expression is calm, and the corners of her mouth are perfectly curved, which makes people feel that although the years have taken away her youth, it has left more open-mindedness and peace.

Just looking at each other, Concubine Wei's original heart was relieved, and she felt relieved, it seemed that it was not a bad thing, but in a blink of an eye, she felt some admiration and jealousy again.

Looking at the situation, the empress is better than she imagined. She thought that a woman who lost her only son and her children and grandchildren died at the hands of her husband would be more extreme. She did not expect that as the mother of a country, the empress is indeed the empress , very comparable.
