Eunuch's professionalism

When Concubine Qi cried like this, the surrounding concubines and princes were all in low surprise.

The executioner also stopped his movements. The concubine's pregnancy is a major matter in the palace, and they don't want to take responsibility, so they naturally let go of the concubine Qi.Concubine Qi Gui saw that it was indeed an opportunity, success or failure only depended on this move, she scrambled and crawled close to Emperor Jin Cheng, even to prove that she was pregnant, she covered her belly with one hand, crawling beautifully and pitifully.

An Zhonghai was very measured, and he didn't mention the dirty scene he saw in Mingshenyuan. Didn't that clearly embarrass the emperor?The emperor doesn't want things about his concubine to be publicized, and he doesn't want to be thought that he is too old. As a personal eunuch, he naturally understands the twists and turns. He only mentioned the relationship between Jiang Taiyi and Qi Guifei. The interaction, which firstly represents his position, is only loyal to the emperor, and secondly prevents the emperor from being deceived in public, which is the most important thing for the face-conscious Emperor Jincheng.

Being deceived by concubines and being fooled in public, how can the emperor show his face?

As if he didn't hear Qigui's cries, Emperor Cheng of Jin said solemnly to the executioner, "Who is there in her palace, come up one, and if you don't dissuade the master in time, but help the tyrant to hide it, it's not a good thing!"

This executioner is also a veteran, and the guilt of Concubine Qi Gui is still uncertain, but the emperor definitely wants someone who will kill chickens and monkeys, so he must choose a slave to execute on the spot.When E Hongfeng brought his concubine Qi, he also brought all the maids and eunuchs of Fengyin Pavilion. People in high positions have their own uniqueness.

It is not a matter of choosing who to choose. The executioner was about to catch one, but E Hongfeng gestured with his fingertips. It was a eunuch with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, very thin, skinny, with inverted triangle eyes, named Zhang Qi, Zhang, Li, Zhao, etc. Common surnames are the most commonly used by young eunuchs and maids in the palace. Many of them do not have official names before entering the palace. The eunuchs and aunts in charge will give them a surname, and then match it with a name. Zhang Qi is called by many people. Zhang Papi, this person used to be in Concubine Shu's palace, and he was a second-rank chief eunuch. Later, he was transferred back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for committing a crime. He should have been sent to the Leng Palace. Arriving at Qigui Concubine's Fengyin Pavilion, it can be said that the reason why Li Xiangying had so many court ladies playing with and torturing was that Zhang Qi was the informant, and the eunuch who loved to torture people in the palace, Li Xiangying is not the only aunt, she is inextricably linked, so it is almost impossible for this informant to fall.

He is also the most hated person by low-ranking maids and eunuchs. They wish to drink his blood and eat his flesh. How many people curse this person at night that he will be sanctioned by heaven.How many of their colleagues were deceived by this eunuch, or robbed by force to give favors, trampled, and thrown into mass graves without even collecting a corpse.

Seeing E Hongfeng pushing Zhang Qi to the front, the eunuchs and maids all showed pleasant expressions.

In fact, E Hongfeng didn't know Zhang Qi, he was a commander and governor, although he often dealt with eunuchs, but there were thousands of eunuchs in the palace, how could he know all of them.Just because I happened to find that kind little eunuch who gave him pastries in the group of eunuchs, the one named Fu Chen.He thought that if he had the opportunity, he would let his guards take care of him, and he would not like to owe favors when he paid back the pastry.

But he didn't want the little eunuch to show him a direction, and compared a number.

Just at this time, the executioner was picking people, and a group of eunuchs and maids of Fengyin Pavilion were held up by the guards, shaking their heads desperately, their eyes begging, especially that Zhang Qi was already crying.E Hongfeng felt that it was nothing to do with favors, and thought that Fu Chen had something to do with that little eunuch named Zhang Qi, and he just wanted to get rid of this person, so he signaled to the executioner.

In fact, how did Fu Chen know Zhang Qi? He only knew through the Seventh Prince's network that Zhang Qi had killed many servants in the palace. Everyone is a slave, and no one is nobler than the other. It would be a great joy to get rid of such a dehumanizing beast by the way!

This is what he and Concubine De once said, seeing each other.

He doesn't do anything on purpose, and even knowing E Hongfeng is just a coincidence, but if a thing can be done smoothly, he will push it. It doesn't matter whether it can be done or not. This line of business is doing pretty well, and it develops naturally like this.

Finding that the executioner had mentioned Zhang Qi who was struggling and screaming, Fu Chen felt relieved, and once again crawled to the place and knelt down securely.

The executioner thought that Zhang Qi was too noisy, so he immediately sealed his mouth and began to execute Li Yingluo.

The first was whip meat, strips of meat were flying in the air, the people below saw their hairs stand on end, many concubines and maids fainted from fright, and some of them became incontinent.

It's just that E Hongfeng was surprised to find that a large part of the maids and eunuchs were crying. They tried their best to wipe away the tears and kowtowed to him gratefully.

Of course, Emperor Jin Cheng didn't know about this, and thought that these servants were deterred and were bowing down to him, "Have you seen that, this is the end of conniving with the master. Keep doing things! He is your example!"

A group of people kowtowed and said yes, only E Hongfeng found that those people were grateful to him, and he couldn't ignore the strong emotion rolling in their eyes.

Are they thanking him?

He didn't understand why, but he could guess that the eunuch he chose as the executioner was definitely a scourge!Can make so many people happy!

Not wanting to do something good, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

You should thank Fu Chen, he is the one who really helped you.

E Hongfeng didn't expect that he just wanted to pay back the favor, but he owed Fu Chen a bigger favor. This little eunuch, with his calm skills, is really a character!

Li Yingluo over there has already passed several stages. Zhang Qi on the punishment board exhaled more and breathed less, but it can still be seen that this person is alive!

The ground was already covered in blood and flesh, and the executioner had already begun to crush that strange bone inch by inch.

The broken bones fell on the blood, looking from a distance, it was like flower petals falling on the ground.

That scene was chilling, half of the people who went outside the Changning Palace in an instant were either fainted by fright, or pissed in fright, but this is what Emperor Jin Cheng wanted.

He is not only warning the slaves, but also the concubine, don't think that if I dote on you, you can be unscrupulous. The favor is given by me, and you are nothing if I don't give it to you!

Especially the group of show girls who had just entered the palace, they were too frightened to say anything, and they didn't even dare to look at the servants on the punishment board.

They had never seen such a battle before, but they were not frightened.

There is also a beautiful girl who has not been favored by Emperor Jincheng, Ye promised, she is the concubine's younger sister of Concubine Qi Gui. brand.

Over there, Emperor Cheng of Jin seemed to think of Concubine Qi Gui at his feet, "Oh, what did you just say?"

"Concubine...is pregnant." Qi Gui said again, she was actually completely frightened, not by this bloody scene, she is also a master who is used to tormenting people, but she didn't expect Jin Emperor Cheng would be so cruel to her, if she didn't say she was pregnant, wouldn't she be treated like this?

She had not been in the palace for a long time, and all she saw was the gentle side of Emperor Jin Cheng, who pampered her to heaven, but she didn't know that every emperor had a different face.

She still remembered that Emperor Jin Cheng once said that she was his favorite woman!

Why, is this...

Emperor Cheng of Jin's sight was dim and concubine Qi Gui didn't notice the sight of the emperor. Emperor Cheng of Jin smiled angrily and said, "My son, when is it?"

"Yes, the concubine wanted to surprise the emperor, but she didn't want the dog in the courtyard to be released somehow! But the concubine, the black dog, really didn't know about it!" Newborn, the queen is gone, so I'll give you another one, even the one in my stomach, you won't touch me, will you?

She couldn't deny the dogs that were released, but no one had seen the black dog, so she couldn't admit it.

"I don't know, what a ignorant!" I am willing to pretend that I don't know, that's my tolerance, but it's not for you not to take me seriously!Emperor Jin Cheng smiled coldly, "E Hongfeng, take someone to her dog training house, I want to see if you really don't know."

E Hongfeng took the order and left with a group of guards.

Concubine Qi Gui couldn't hide the astonishment on her face, she never expected that Emperor Jin Cheng would be so direct, she even waited for him to come to help her up, and softly comforted her, but nothing came.

"Come here, take the pulse of Concubine Qi."

At this moment, most of the imperial physicians went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to treat the Seventh Prince, few of them stayed where they were. The imperial physician surnamed Jiang stepped forward and first took the pulse of Concubine Qi.

After contemplating for a long time, he said to Emperor Cheng of Jin: "According to my judgment, the time is too short. Concubine Qi Gui's pulse is not obvious, but it is very likely that she is pregnant."

The imperial physician didn't say whether it was true or not, but it gave people the impression that Concubine Qi Gui was pregnant.

"Pregnant? Hehe, what a pregnancy!" You are indeed the daughter of the Ye family. With this careful planning step by step, what do you take me for?False pregnancy can be made so coincidental by you!

Emperor Jin Cheng's voice didn't look happy at all.

The Imperial Physician Jiang has also been operating in the harem for many years, and he also sensed that something was wrong. Now his forehead was sweating, and he began to feel that he shouldn't come here so recklessly after the second prince ordered it.

The main reason is that he has checked the concubine's pulse many times. Emperor Cheng of Jin always turned a blind eye to Concubine Qi, but today he didn't show any face.

"Take down Doctor Jiang, this hospital should be washed!" The emperor led up and down.

When An Zhonghai said that the imperial physician had a problem and quietly passed the news to Concubine Qi Gui, what Emperor Jin Cheng saw was not an imperial physician, but a group of imperial physicians.Concubine Qi Gui, a small noble concubine, even with the Ye family behind her and how capable she is, she almost upset half of the palace today, and even found an imperial physician to exonerate herself. Do not believe.What is behind this, it means that the harem needs to be cleaned up, it is not enough for the queen to manage the palace affairs, let's see how she manages it, even the imperial hospital has people inserted into it!

When the emperor thought about who would instruct those imperial physicians to treat him, would he be killing the king?

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd. The Duanci Empress Dowager Gongsun came with a group of people. The soldiers did not dare to stop the woman with the highest status in the harem.

"Emperor, what's the matter, such a big battle?" I saw the queen mother wearing a vase pattern auspicious cloud skirt, combing the most popular high bun in the capital recently, towering and solemn, wearing a tourmaline stone Buddha bead bracelet Seeing the injury on Emperor Jin Cheng's hand, he raised his eyebrows angrily, "Hey, what happened to your hand! You servants, standing there, didn't you see that the emperor was injured!?"

Only then did the Empress Dowager Duanci see the person on the board with Liyingluo. She had also seen the world, so naturally she would not be frightened, but frowned because of the bloody smell.

Fu Chen kept the same steps as the others, and quietly looked at the reclusive queen mother. At the age of Emperor Cheng of Jin, the queen mother was over seventy, but Fu Chen found that the queen mother did not look old at all. There are lines, but it looks quite gentle.Jin Chengdi succeeded to the throne as a concubine, and his biological mother passed away, so the aunt was respected as the empress dowager.

This empress dowager is the empress of Jin Taizong. I heard that when she was young, she fought for Jin Taizong, was tortured in the enemy camp, and even several children died at the hands of the enemy. Emperor Cheng would naturally try his best to give face to this aunt.

"Mother, I'm fine. I won't let them deal with it. The smell of blood is strong here. I'm afraid you will run into my mother. You should go back to Yanshou Palace first. I will come to pay my respects later." The queen mother is a smart person. After taking the throne, he delegated the power to the queen, and usually only worshiped the Buddha in his own Longevity Palace, and occasionally went to Foshan for further studies. The only thing that went out of his way was probably his love of smoking tobacco leaves.

"The queen, can you keep it?" The queen mother was worried. The emperor is not her son, and she must not have much sincere concern for this cheap daughter-in-law. The queen looks shrewd, but she manages the harem in a mess. Look, it's just that she is still respectful to her on weekdays, so it's natural to ask the previous question.

Emperor Cheng of Jin sighed, the meaning was obvious, the queen mother patted the emperor's hand comfortingly, "The queen mother is waiting for you at Yanshou Palace."

The queen mother doesn't like animals, before leaving, she glanced at the long-dead black dog and the concubine Qi Guigui who was crying on the ground, and left without saying anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the queen mother, who didn't show much like or dislike, was very displeased. I like Concubine Qi Gui, and it even represents a certain attitude of the royal family towards the Ye family.

After the Queen Mother left, Emperor Cheng of Jin asked the row of eunuchs and maids of Fengyin Pavilion who had been frightened mad by Zhang Qi's tragic death.

"Concubine Qi said she was pregnant, but is it true? Do you have anything else to say?"

A group of people knelt in silence, and no one stood up to speak.

"Nothing to say? Then take it all down and charge 100 big boards." 100 big boards, that is fatal.

Now, some people can't sit still.

First of all, the little eunuch who led the way for Fu Chen, he took out a stack of letter papers from his pocket, "Your Majesty, I have something here!"

"Oh, bring it up!"

A stack of apparently well-preserved letters was presented.

Shao Ziyu looked at the eldest prince Shao Mujian, only to see Shao Mujian give him a look. Obviously, this stack of letters written by Shao Ziyu himself "Lang Youqing concubine intends" was used by Shao Mujian as "evidence". Shao Ziyu's writing was not explicit, but Considering the identities of Concubine Qi Gui and Shao Huayang, it is both ambiguous and able to convey the ambiguous meaning, making people applaud the literary grace in the letter.

No matter whether this trick is really tainted or not, it can make a fake come true.

Emperor Jin Cheng looked at the letter, only opened a few letters, his face became darker the more he looked at it, he knew the handwriting of the second child, and even the tone of it was exactly the same as that of the second child, it is not credible to say that it is a forgery!As for Concubine Qigui, Emperor Cheng of Jin would occasionally have some romance with his concubines. Concubine Qigui was born in a family, and before entering the palace with calligraphy Danqing, she was also known as the four talented women in the capital.

Seeing the back, Jin Chengdi was so angry that he even crushed one of the letters and threw it on the ground.

Concubine Qigui went in without knowing, she crawled over slowly protecting her stomach, and opened the letter paper, she was stunned when she saw the content on it, she had never written any love letter to the second prince, but the handwriting on it was indeed the same as hers. Who would imitate the handwriting of a harem woman? It is useless to learn it. Besides, it takes a lot of time and effort to imitate, so the possibility of others' writing is basically eliminated.

But she was sure, she didn't write it!

Although she is arrogant, she is not without brains. If someone accidentally finds out about writing such a thing in this palace, it will be a major event involving the family. Besides, even if she thinks about it, the second prince will not agree.She always felt that there was a big net covering her, and after waking up from a coma in the dog training house, everything seemed to be derailed, who was controlling what, and she seemed to be involuntarily following the script, "My lord, It's really not a concubine, a concubine has never written such a thing!"

Emperor Cheng of Jin threw one of the letter papers in front of the first lady in the palace, "You should recognize your concubine's handwriting, right?"

It was Zhixue, the eldest maid next to Concubine Qi, who was always by her side. She knew about the matter between the empress and the second prince, she shook the paper tremblingly, "It's... the concubine's handwriting."

"Is this really the case?" Emperor Jin Cheng burst out the words word by word.

"...Yes." Zhixue was brought by Concubine Qi from the Ye family, and concubines of the third rank or above can bring two people into the palace.Zhixue has been with Concubine Qi since she was a child, and she is the most trustworthy.She was very afraid of Concubine Qi, and would never betray Concubine Qi unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if Concubine Qi had stolen so many times, she had never intended to reveal the news.Now, even if she is not afraid of death, she doesn't want to be like Zhang Qi who can't survive or die, "I beg the emperor to be merciful, I beg the emperor to be merciful!"

In fact, Emperor Jin Cheng couldn't believe it either, he didn't believe that his son and concubine could ignore him and do such a mediocre thing!

Except for the seventh, third, and ninth sons, don't all his sons take him seriously as his father! ?

When he thought of Lao Qi, he thought of Concubine Li. When he was investigating the presence of a man in Concubine Li's palace, he received news that many of them did the work, including this concubine Qi Gui. Besides, he was still fresh, and he was not willing to do anything. He first chased after Concubine Li, then compensated Lao Qi materially, and even handed him over to the queen. I just want to wait for the queen to finish giving birth and do it together.

Now not only did Lao Qi lose his mother, but even one of the culprits who killed his mother has been at large.

These women are simply more terrifying than snakes and scorpions!

Those who didn't do it were wronged, and those who did have a good time!

I was kept in the dark!

Emperor Cheng of Jin suddenly felt a little cold, these women are not delicate flowers, they can obviously eat people.

"You spitting blood!!!" Concubine Qi Gui wanted to rush over to tear Zhixue apart, but was stopped by the guards.

"Your majesty, you have to trust the concubine, someone colluded with Zhixue to frame the concubine!" Qi Guifei cried.

"How can you convict a concubine with just a few letters!"

Jin Chengdi said angrily: "Shut up, gag her! I don't want to hear any more words come out of her dirty mouth!"

First let the dog bite people, hurt countless people, now the queen and the seventh child are lying on the bed, and then instigated the imperial physician to pretend to be pregnant, so arrogant, unreasonable, unscrupulous, treating the harem as his back garden, Jin Chengdi felt that he really saw this He used to think that she was a cute and charming woman.

The guard stuffed a crumpled piece of cloth into her mouth. When Concubine Qi saw Zhixue who kowtowed and pleaded guilty, her eyes stared with poison.

Because the second prince changed his clothes and met the national teacher on the road, he was delayed for some time and arrived late.

When he rushed to Changning Palace in a hurry, as soon as Emperor Cheng of Jin saw him, he said, "Tie Shao Huayang up for me! Bring me here!"

Shao Huayang was tied up by the soldiers before he had a face-to-face meeting. He was a little inexplicable, "Father, what did I do wrong!? Why?"

How could he be treated like this in front of so many people!

This discredited him, and he was filled with depression.

Shao Huayang was brought to the Changning Palace. He saw the mess after the execution, and saw that the doctor Jiang he ordered was also tied up by the emperor. He vaguely guessed something and had no time to get angry.

Secret channel is not good!Could it be that he was tricked!

He doesn't have time to look at the pious faces of the brothers below, he can only hug the big tree of the emperor quickly.

Emperor Cheng of Jin seemed to be extremely disappointed, and his words choked up when he spoke, "Everyone is here this time, and I don't want to keep it a secret anymore. Huayang, my father planned to make you the crown prince."

Shao Huayang knelt on the ground, and when he heard this, his face was filled with surprise.

The following princes have different expressions.

Emperor Jin Cheng paused before continuing: "But you disappointed me so much! Look at what you have done!"

What kind of woman do you want, can my father not give it to you?Why is it my woman?

Emperor Jin Cheng smashed the letter on the second prince's face, maybe he was extremely disappointed, maybe he was extremely angry, but he was a little powerless.

The second prince's hands were tied, and he couldn't open the letter. The letter was spread out, revealing a few lines, which were his handwriting!

How is this going?

His expression was the same astonishment as that of Concubine Qi when she saw those letters, but in the eyes of Emperor Jin Cheng, it was that they were still trying to cover up and quibble at this point.

Although other people were curious about what it was, how could Emperor Jin Cheng let others know the contents of these letters.

Everyone knew that no matter what the second prince wrote, the sky would change.

The second prince got over the excitement and anger, and knew that it was useless to quibble when Emperor Jin Cheng had confirmed the facts, so he calmed down, "Father, I have never written these letters. I dare to swear to the sky, Ruoer I know the content of this letter, or I have written a word, and I am degrading myself as a commoner."

Swearing a poisonous oath is a very serious oath in this era of belief in ghosts and gods, and for the prince, becoming a commoner is a heavier punishment than death.

Being able to swear such a heavy oath shows how much determination he has made, and it can also be seen that although the second prince has many flaws, he is also a cruel person at critical moments.

Even the originally determined Emperor Cheng of Jin hesitated a little. The second child was a son-in-law, and he was a little flamboyant on weekdays, just like when he was young, it was inevitable to attract jealousy. If he wanted to frame him and his concubine Qi, it was not impossible.

After all, Emperor Cheng of Jin was unwilling to admit it in his heart, so he was inclined to be framed by someone, and even with such evidence, he still tried to deceive himself.

He has a lot of beloved sons, counting them carefully, the eldest, the second, the third, the sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the twelfth, the thirteenth, the fifteenth... But among so many sons, the one he loves the most is The second child is the legitimate son, this child is too similar to him, unscrupulous, loves to cause trouble, a little flamboyant and proud, so no matter how much trouble the second child has caused, he is willing to be punished lightly.

The eldest prince Shao Mujian had a ruthless streak across his face, he knew it would be like this!This happens every time! !

The emperor's favoritism is almost limitless, look at what kind of ghost the seventh child was tortured by the second child, it was only a few sentences of punishment for copying the book, and the fatal blow of the seventh child was nothing more than inviting the imperial doctor to come over!

When the second child came, it seemed that everything had been exposed!

"Old Ninth, this trick of yours isn't very effective! Is that all you have to do?" The First Prince taunted softly, he couldn't be more angry.

As the eldest son, the eldest prince, Shao Mujian, naturally disliked Shao Huayang in various ways, but because he was the eldest son, he was always superior to him, how could he be reconciled.

The temporary alliance with the Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu this time is not an alliance between them. The two have different positions and it is impossible to stand together.It's just that they all want to take this opportunity to overthrow the second child, the mountain ahead.

But I didn't expect that at this point, the second child could turn the tide!

Sure enough, is it still too difficult?

Concubine Qi Gui, who was tied up at the side, was also greatly relieved to see the second prince gradually persuade Emperor Jin Cheng.

As long as their relationship is not confirmed, it will be fine!

Concubine De, who watched the whole process, silently glanced at Fu Chen, and then winked at Wu Ling, the personal eunuch who came with Shao Huayang.

Wuling suddenly knelt down, and under Shao Huayang's unbelievable eyes, said: "The servant is the eunuch accompanying the second prince, and I have something to report."

Emperor Cheng of Jin had an impression of Wuling, and he was indeed a person who followed Shao Huayang all the year round.

"What do you have to say? An Zhonghai, you go over there."

After An Zhonghai walked down, Wuling leaned close to Eunuch Hai's ear and told the story.

Eunuch Hai looked at Concubine Qi from time to time.

Concubine Qigui was a little apprehensive, she didn't want to have another accident after the turning point just now.

"Wuling!!" Shao Huayang trusted Wuling quite a lot, and he didn't expect to be betrayed at this time!

Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Why did the dancer suddenly pour the barbecue on him before going out today, and Wuling just happened to have clothes ready. This may have been planned long ago. Whose spy is Wuling? !

Wuling was given to him by the queen, the most loyal person.

Empress, why do you even want to kill me! ?

The second prince Shao Huayang only felt that his eyes were going black for a while.

When An Zhonghai relayed what Wuling said to Emperor Cheng of Jin, Emperor Cheng of Jin squatted down suddenly after hearing what Wuling said, and suddenly grabbed Shao Huayang's clothes and tore them. Under the palm of Emperor Cheng of Jin who was extremely angry, the clothes split a hole.

Emperor Jin Cheng seemed to be looking for something, he stood up without any sign of happiness or anger, and said to An Zhonghai: "Look."

An Zhonghai rummaged through the clothes, and looked closely for a long time. It seemed that he had put in a lot of effort in order not to wrong the second prince, and finally confirmed, "It is indeed the paper sent by the servant."

Emperor Jin Cheng covered his face in pain.

In fact, what Emperor Jin Cheng and An Zhonghai were looking for was the thread sewn on the clothes. It was a coincidence that this was Xue Yunsi from the Western Regions. Given to Concubine Qi Gui, when he dotes on any concubine, he is a little unreasonable.

There are so many things that Emperor Cheng of Jin bestowed, how could Qigui concubine care about such a ball of thread, it looks no different from ordinary thread, how would she know that it is so precious, if she knew it, she would not use it to make clothes.

This was also something that Fu Chen specifically asked Concubine De to confirm many times later.

Concubine Qi took the ball of thread and sewed a suit of robes and a pair of boots for the second prince. This set was temporarily put on by Wuling for the second prince today.

It was also the spy that Concubine De thought would not be of much use, and suddenly did something that seemed insignificant, but it was the key to turning defeat into victory.

Concubine De suppressed the doubts in her heart, and looked at Fu Chen who looked up at this moment, who was looking at the national teacher.

I still remember that day, under the candlelight, the man spoke calmly.

"As long as a woman has the heart, she will do it."

As long as you have the heart, isn't it the most normal thing in ancient times to make a few clothes for your sweetheart?
