Court eunuch

Tortured Barrin.

Hearing the continuous wailing, Jin Zhong squinted his eyes and sneered at Ye Xin: "You are very loyal. That's right, a slave should be loyal, but this loyalty also depends on others."

Ye Xin stared at him, but remained silent, and Jin Zhong didn't care. He shook the whip in his hand, slammed it, and said slowly like a snake spitting out a letter: "I saw that beside Concubine Yu, there was another girl wearing pink and blue." Ladies of clothes."

Ye Xin's eyes widened suddenly, full of unwillingness.

Seeing the change in her demeanor, Jin Zhong smiled slightly, and continued: "Who is that palace lady... Yun'er? Is it? I heard that she was a second-class court lady before, and it's only been a few days... Tsk tsk tsk."

Ye Xin's complexion turned pale, and it was obvious that he had been hit. Jin Zhong still didn't intend to let her go: "I heard, what kind of heart...ah yes, the one next to the empress, Xin Xin, right? She is also the master. Take the blame and die. Tsk tsk tsk, you are so loyal..." With a barbed riding whip brushing her chin, the eunuch's voice was extremely cold: "Did the empress ever mention that?"

The wailing of the Balin family next door gradually weakened, Ye Xin bit her lips for a while, "If I say so, can I spare my life?"

24: Backlash

What Ye Xin said was corroborated with Baring's confession, and the details are almost the same.

Jinzhong looked at her, pinched the paper on which the confession was written between his fingers, and raised his voice slightly: "Is it finished?"

Ye Xin nodded hurriedly.

The corner of Jinzhong's lips hooked, and he slowly tore up the piece of paper, "Join an official."

Ye Xin begged for mercy in horror, but was held down tightly.

The thick paper soaked in ice water was pasted layer by layer, Ye Xin's breathing became more and more heavy, fear made her twist her body recklessly, her nails scratched on the wooden board and made a harsh sound, Jinzhong's fox eyes narrowed , Stretching out his hand to stop, looking at the face that was violently undulating due to the wet paper, he leaned closer and said, "Do you think of anything else?"

An indistinct response came from Ye Xin's throat.

The sticker was removed, revealing a face as white as a ghost.

His eyes were red, terrified.

Jinzhong sat back in his seat, playing with a wolf hair, still with a three-pointed smile on his face: "Last chance."

That night, the gates of the Yanxi Palace opened and closed, and the guards only saw an inner eunuch knocking on a lamp at night, among which the lights in the courtyard were turned on and off, and there seemed to be a few whimpers in the night wind, and then quickly dissipated.

Wei Yanwan was wrapped in fox fur and sat on the rug, holding the stove in her hand, let Chunchan and others do her hair sleepily.

Seeing that she got up early in the morning with her pregnant body, Lan Cui was really distressed, and complained: "The Yikun Palace doesn't know what plan he has, so he summoned all the palaces so early in the morning, it hurts The winner's son can't sleep well."

Wei Yanwan half-closed her eyes, and didn't bother to make a sound.

After the bun was arranged, a little maid came in with a food box. Chunchan took the lid off and opened it one by one, and said softly: "Master, let's have some breakfast. I'm going to Yikun Palace. I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry for a while." morning."

Wei Yanwan always had a bad appetite in the morning, but she was woken up early again today, and became even more irritable. She ate a couple of random bites of the snack Chunchan brought her, and said angrily, "Let's go."

Chunchan was worried about persuading her, but suddenly Lan Cui grabbed her and received a look that signaled her to be quiet.

"If I'm starving myself, how can I deal with them?" The navy blue python robe came in through the curtain with a chill in it, and stopped by the door, not rushing forward.

It was still gray outside, and the sky was still dark.

Wei Yanwan glanced out the window, there was a vast expanse of ice and snow, icicles were hung under the eaves, the ground was covered with snow, and the servants in the palace were still sweeping the snow and removing the ice.

She felt a little distressed: "Why did you come here?"

"I have something to do." He smiled slightly, and he glanced at the snacks on the table, they were all delicate things, but most of them remained unmoved.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yanwan was aroused, and her spirits were raised a bit.

Jinzhong took the jade-white porcelain bowl she had just eaten from Chunchan's hand with one hand, and held the ivory chopsticks in the other hand, and said slowly: "Use some more, I will tell you."

Chunchan and the others had already retreated, Wei Yanwan looked at the table and had no appetite at all, and frowned slightly: "You just say it, I won't eat."

Jinzhong acted as if he hadn’t heard it, and ate the remaining half of the fresh mushroom balls in the bowl with his chopsticks, filled another bowl of milk, and said with a smile: “It’s common to be lazy in the morning, milk is appetizing, but Drink some first."

Seeing the white porcelain bowl filled with white milk, Wei Yanwan also gained some appetite, so she took a few sips from the spoon he handed over.

"Yesterday, Ye Xin recruited." Jin Zhong squatted beside her, speaking a shocking secret in a slow, homely tone.

"Yeah." The warm liquid entered her stomach, Wei Yanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, like a gluttonous cat.

"Besides Beisan's running water, there is one more thing." Jin Zhong was happy to feed her mouthfuls, he was willing to see her being served by himself, and he got close to her with a bit of a good mood, and revealed the secret to her. Said in the ear: "Concubine Yu killed the second elder brother."

Wei Yanwan raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

When the white porcelain bowl was bottomed out, Jin Zhong changed another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and gave her a few chopsticks of bird's nest and shredded duck, "The bird's nest is warm and moist, you woke up early, it's time to use some tonic."

"Ye Xin said that she was ordered to pick the reed flowers back that day, and together with Concubine Yu, she sewed the reed flowers into the quilt and coaxed Concubine Chun to send them in." Jin Zhong picked out some slices of water chestnut ham for her, and fed her one by one. After eating, "After the second elder brother left, she felt uneasy, and even secretly burned paper at night."

Wei Yanwan sneered after hearing this: "But I see she is very at ease."

Jin Zhong saw that she was eating more slowly, so he put away the bowls and chopsticks, and filled another bowl of three fresh bird's nest soup, "This food is refreshing, you can use some to get rid of the oily smell."

Wei Yanwan just took a sip and said, "I'm full."

Jinzhong didn't try to persuade her any more, took a square scarf and wiped the corners of her lips, stroked the smooth chin with his fingertips, leaned in and kissed her lightly, and said: "Yesterday, the emperor was very angry. Concubine asked, as for the final result, I don't know for the time being. Today, the empress summoned all the palaces, probably because of this matter."

"Jinzhong." Wei Yanwan called out suddenly, looked at the other party for a moment, stretched out her hand to grab his collar, pulled him forward, and smiled lightly: "You are really capable."

In Yikun Palace, the earth dragon was quite warm, but afterwards his face was as cold as ice, as if he was out of spirits.

When everyone was seated, Concubine Yu was the new favourite, relying on her birth from the Borzigit family, she was used to making troubles, before she could speak up, she suddenly smiled and said: "It's cold in winter, the empress excuse me, my concubines have not been there for several days I’ve met all the sisters.” He pretended to be surprised: “Where did Sister Yufei go? Didn’t she come?”

Afterwards, he showed displeasure, frowned slightly, and stopped him aloud: "I invite everyone here today, just to talk about this matter."

"Ouch." Concubine Yu cut off the conversation again, "I heard that Concubine Yu's elder sister lives in Yanxi Palace. Yesterday... the inner eunuch knocked on the palace door at night, and Concubine Yu was also taken away by them overnight."

Afterwards, there was a dull pain in his temple, so he had no choice but to show his power as a queen, and said coldly: "This matter is all rumors. Concubine Yu, as a concubine, you can just listen to it. If you talk nonsense, you are committing a crime." Ji, I can immediately punish you with the authority of a queen, do you know your mistake!"

Concubine Yu's complexion turned pale, she had never ignored the palace rules, and was a little bit annoyed at being humiliated in front of everyone like this by her successor, she gritted her teeth and turned back: "The whole palace knows about this, and the concubine did not spread rumors. "

Afterwards, he was already extremely angry, and took a few pictures, and said loudly: "Come on, pull Concubine Yu out, and slap your mouth!"

"The empress is really domineering. Concubine Yu just told the truth, so she has to use an excuse to punish her." A sharp female voice came from outside the door, followed by a voice from the palace staff: "Here is Princess Jing."

The young lady in a scarlet cloak supported the palace servant's hand and walked unimpeded all the way to the hall, glanced at everyone, and snorted coldly: "Concubine Yu, you are also from our Horqin anyway, why are you so helpless?" , teach people a few words to frighten them out of courage?"

Concubine Yu seemed to have found a backing, and she wept, "I beg the princess to be the master, what the concubine said is true, but the queen wants to use the concubine as a raft for others to see."

The palace man added a chair to the left of the following, He Jing sat down calmly, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor Ama called me into the palace just now, saying that Keliette was suspected of killing Yong Lian and committed the capital crime of murdering the emperor's heir. Ask me how I want to deal with it." With a proud face, He Jing looked at the ashes behind him, and felt very happy, and deliberately raised his voice: "I said, then let her also taste the heart-pounding pain of losing a loved one."

25. Link

Facing He Jing's pressing step by step, the veins on his forehead slightly protruded, he held the handle of the chair tightly, and tried to calm down: "How to deal with Concubine Yu is up to the emperor, and please don't talk nonsense here."

"Oh?" He Jing glanced at her, stroked the velvet on the sleeves, and sneered: "How do you know that I'm talking nonsense, could it be that Huang Ama has something else to say to you?"

As the lord of the six palaces, the queen is not as well-informed as the princess, a married woman. This is a blatant slap in the face of the queen.

There was a momentary silence in Yikun Palace.

He Jing saw that there was no one answering in the palace, and said quietly: "The Queen Mother is not here, and the simple and simple atmosphere of the old days is gone. Today's harem is more than luxurious, but there are no rules, screaming and killing all day long, it's really a miasma."

Afterwards, he said in a deep voice, "It's better for the princess not to interfere with the matter of the harem."

He Jing was disdainful, and sipped his tea lightly, "I just can't see it, let me give you a few pointers."

Afterwards, it was almost unbearable, and she leaned forward: "This palace is the empress proclaimed by the emperor, the head of the harem, and has the sole control over the management of the six palaces. It is not up to the princess to tell me what I should do."

He Jingjiao then jumped into a rage and tried her best to maintain her majestic appearance, and she looked down on her even more. She put the teacup down carelessly, and the enamel porcelain collided with the huanghuali tabletop, making a clear sound.
