Concubine Hua hadn't entered the Yikun Palace while she was sitting on the step, when a court lady chased after her.Songzhi turned her head and saw that she was a very inconspicuous girl next to Cao Guiren.

Concubine Hua glanced at it, but didn't ask to get off the sedan chair, and waited for Bu Tuo to carry it to the gate of Yikun Palace before coming down and entering.Concubine Hua murmured in her heart, why did she come so soon?Could it be that something went wrong in just two moments.There are the most women in the harem, so it is inevitable that there will be complications in everything, so Concubine Hua waited until she entered her own territory, sat down on the throne in the main hall, and then gave Song Zhi a look to lead the maid who came over.

As soon as the maid knelt down, she saw Zhou Ninghai limping in from the gate of the courtyard from a distance, and went straight to the main hall.

Seeing that Zhou Ninghai came back early, Concubine Hua concluded that there must be a big mistake, and with a slanted phoenix eye, Song Zhi sent out all the maids accompanying her on both sides, leaving Cao Guiren's maid and Zhou Ninghai alone in the main hall for interrogation.

"What's the matter? I just left for a while, and you don't serve your master, what are you doing here?" Concubine Hua asked the maid first.

Although the court lady looked like a low-level servant, she was usually sent by Cao Guiren to walk around Yikun Palace. She was neither eye-catching nor very clever. She hurriedly reported, "Going back to Concubine Hua, as soon as she left, Lian Gui stumbled and fell into the pond." gone."

What?Concubine Hua immediately stood up, staring at Zhou Ninghai, only to see Zhou Ninghai nodding slightly, she asked again, "Why did this happen, let me explain in detail."

Seeing this, the palace lady explained in detail, "The young masters were originally going to move to Chengrui Pavilion to enjoy the fish, but the concubine Li went to help Liangui herself when she saw that Liangui was weak. Liangui fell into the pond."

Concubine Hua was almost angry, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she endured it for a while before recovering and asked again, "How is Mrs. Lian now?"

"When the maidservant came, Mr. Liangui had just been rescued, and he was already dying. He must have been carried back to Chuxiu Palace to wait for the imperial physician." After the maid said everything, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua quickly asked Song Zhi to go to the imperial hospital to invite all the court judges on duty, and then sent the maid down, and then sat down on the throne again.

At this time, there was no one else in the main hall of Yikun Palace, except Zhou Ninghai. Concubine Hua said sharply, "Have you cleaned up your side?"

Zhou Ninghai took two steps forward with a limp, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry, the servants have already cleaned up Chengrui Pavilion before coming over."

Concubine Hua was quite relieved about Zhou Ninghai's hands and feet, so she asked curiously, "Did Mr. Lian slip into the water?"

Zhou Ninghai's eyes flickered and he said, "The slave was in ambush at the Chengrui Pavilion, and he didn't see the Wanchun Pavilion clearly, but when Mr. Lian fell into the water, only Empress Li was by her side."

Concubine Hua patted the armrest of the throne with a "bang", gritted her teeth and said inwardly, "Concubine Li is useless!" Concubine Hua's purpose today was at Shenmeizhuang. Cheng Ruiting will leave with an excuse.Chengrui Pavilion has already set up an ambush, the sky is dark and slippery, and there is no one around, as long as someone pushes the flames behind the corner, Shenmeizhuang will be killed in Yuchi.

And Lian Guiren is the first suspect who bears the brunt of the crime. Even if he bites out that someone has plotted against him, there is no basis for the black lights and blind flames, and it is difficult to get rid of himself. Save.In this way, not only can Shenmeizhuang get rid of the thorn in his side, but also hold the favored Guerjia family in his hands.

Zhou Ninghai knew today's strategy best, so seeing that something happened to Wan Chunting, he cleverly took advantage of the chaos to cover up the traces of Chengruiting, and quickly came back to report.At this moment, seeing Concubine Hua's master was so angry, she hurriedly shared her master's worries, "Your Majesty, although I missed the passenger car this time, after all, except for one disaster, it is not in vain."

Zhou Ninghai looked at the closed door of the main hall, and then continued in a low voice, "There were a lot of servants around just now, but the nobleman's physique already smelled bad when he was picked up, so I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through. Even if he survives In the past, I'm afraid this body is useless."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua felt a little better. Anyway, these young masters will have to clean up sooner or later. Maybe this mistake is God's will.So he supported the hairpin on his head with his hands, and asked, "Is my makeup messed up?"

Zhou Ninghai smiled knowingly, and praised, "Your Majesty is gorgeous, and she is wearing her makeup properly. I just saw Xiaoxiazi running towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I'm afraid the emperor will trust you soon."

Concubine Hua had already prepared supper, originally thinking that the emperor would invite her into Yikun Palace after visiting Shen Guiren, but now it is the same when going to Chuxiu Palace.

Xiaoxiazi ran all the way into the Hall of Mental Cultivation panting, and was stopped by Su Peisheng who was standing at the entrance of the main hall as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Xiaoxiazi stopped quickly when he heard the sound, and said in a loud voice, "Master, it's not good, Mr. Liangui fell into the water." His voice was not loud, but Su Peisheng heard a squawk in the room immediately, and he knew that it was for someone to let him go. The emperor heard it, so he quickly led Xiao Xiazi into Xinuang Pavilion with a swipe of his head.

"Who fell into the water?" The emperor saw that he just threw away the pen and got up, and two or three spots of red ink were splashed on his body.

Seeing the emperor walking towards them in three steps and making two steps, Xiaoxiazi quickly knelt down and replied, "Go back to the emperor, today the concubine Li, Cao Guiren, Lian Guiren and Shen Guiren are enjoying meals with Concubine Hua at the Wanchun Pavilion. Fish, just as Concubine Hua left, somehow Liangui fell headlong into the pond."

When Yinzhen heard this, his heart froze, and he felt a tightness in his chest. He said sharply, "What's wrong with you? Where's the imperial physician?"

Xiaoxiazi often served in front of the emperor, knowing that the emperor was angry, so he didn't dare to pick and choose, and immediately reported what he saw and heard, "The servants of Qixiang Palace have already carried Liangui back to Chuxiu Palace, Ye Yuanjuan of the Supreme Hospital is going there, and the servant is in a hurry to come back and report to the emperor, but I don't know what happened to Lian Gui."

Yinzhen raised his finger and pointed at Su Peisheng, "Call Liu Yuduo here, Guerjia's body has been nursed by him, tell him to come quickly."

Xiao Xiazi glanced at Su Peisheng, saw that his master meant to let him know everything, and then reported again, "Returning to the emperor, Imperial Physician Liu Xiumu is not on duty at the imperial hospital today, and the palace gate has already been locked at this point. "

After hearing this, Yinzhen kicked him, and said angrily, "You bastard, pass on my word of mouth, and let me announce Liu Yuduo into the palace overnight."

Xiaoxiazi was kicked and hugged his heart, but he could only kowtow, then he got up and sent someone to find Doctor Liu.But the emperor couldn't sit still, and he didn't care about changing clothes, so he strode out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Su Peisheng beckoned to his valet and quickly trotted after him.

The Chuxiu Palace was gloomy at the moment, Yinhu was lying upright on the bed, lifeless, Fang Ruo and Biyue changed into dry clothes while wiping their bodies with hot water.

Biyun had already lost her seven souls and eight souls, holding Yinhu's arm and didn't let go, just pinching people and smoothing her chest.

The sudden accident, Cao Qinmo was at a loss no matter how clever and quick-witted she was, she dragged the almost stupid Concubine Li all the way to the Chuxiu Palace, sweating and repeating the situation just now in her mind, Xin Dao, all the masters and servants on the spot saw it It's Lipin who is pulling Guerjia's family, I'm afraid this matter can't be done well.

Fortunately, Shen Guiren was still awake at the moment, so he sent people frequently to meet the imperial physician, and invited the nearest concubine, the lord of the palace, to sit in the palace.

When Ye Yuan was sent to the Chuxiu Palace, he was directly taken to the dormitory to have his pulse checked.

Before the imperial physician could speak, the emperor followed closely.As soon as Yinzhen entered the Ming room, he saw Cao Guiren dragging the already stiff concubine Li to her knees, without looking at them both, she directly raised her legs and entered the inner bedroom.

"Doctor, how is Liangui?" The emperor leaned against the edge while asking, and saw the familiar figure with a pale face at the moment, that pale complexion and the white coat he had just put on, almost blending into one, making people feel ashamed. The emperor's heart sank.

Ye Yuan judged that something was wrong, Liangui was already weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on anymore, so he knelt down to the emperor, "I want to give Liangui a needle, to warm the meridian and dispel cold, and to move qi to dredge the collaterals." ,only……"

"Just what? If you want to give an injection, do it quickly." Yinzhen glanced at Ye Shisheng and said anxiously.

Ye Yuanpan was sweating a lot, seeing the emperor's eagerness, he knew that the young master was the emperor's favorite person, but if the needle didn't work, he was afraid that the emperor would not forgive him lightly when he was furious, so he panicked He said, "It's just that the nobles have accumulated cold and invaded their bodies, and they have been ill for a long time. Whether they can wake up or not depends entirely on luck."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression seemed to froze for an instant. He looked straight at the dying cheek on the bed, took Yinhu's cold palm and sat down slowly, as if the tragedy of the previous life was imminent.

In that life, the emperor had never seen the corpse of a guilty minister, and Yinzhen never allowed himself to imagine this scene.But in this life, all of this is so clearly in front of my eyes.

"I won't allow you to die." A low-spirited sob squeezed out word by word from the emperor's trembling throat.

Only Shen Guiren who was standing at the head of the bed raised his head slightly, and saw the traces of wetness on the emperor's face.

Ye Yuanju didn't dare to look up to see the emperor's complexion, so he tensed his muscles and bones to give the needle for Liangui, and the entire Chuxiu Palace fell silent.

An hour later, Ye Yuan sentenced the gold needle back into his bag, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, took a step back and knelt down to the emperor again, "The old minister has tried his best to give the needle, and tonight is the key."

The emperor waved his hand to let Ye Shisheng go down, and sat on the edge of the slump for a long time without saying a word, until the outside reported the arrival of Imperial Physician Liu.

Under the expectant gaze of the emperor, Imperial Physician Liu took the pulse of Lian Guiren, and finally came to the same conclusion as Ye Yuan's judgment.

At this time, Concubine Hua came slowly, and as soon as she entered the inner bedroom, she saw the emperor sitting slumped beside Lian Guiren's bed.

Concubine Hua originally waited for the imperial doctor to finish her consultation, and came to invite the emperor to rest in Yikun Palace, but seeing the atmosphere in the room was very different, years of experience forced Nian to change the subject immediately, and said anxiously, "Why are you a concubine? After walking away for a while, Sister Lian had this incident, and this concubine really shouldn't be making any rewards." As he spoke, his eyes were already red, and he knelt at the emperor's feet, blaming himself, "I beg the emperor to come down."

Only then did the emperor look away from Yinhu, and stared at Nian Shilan for a long while, seeing Concubine Hua with chills down his spine.Concubine Hua thought to herself, the emperor would never really punish herself, after all, Concubine Li, Cao Guiren, and Shen Guiren were all present at the scene of the incident.But the emperor's face was cold at this moment, but it was the coldness that Concubine Hua had never seen in her life.

Yinzhen stuffed Yinhu's hand back into the brocade quilt, and didn't ask Concubine Hua to get up, and directly bypassed her and came to Mingjian.Seeing that Concubine Li and Cao Guiren were still kneeling straight, they turned around and pointed at Shen Meizhuang, "Tell me, what's going on."

The emperor's voice was extremely deep, but it implied the momentum of thunder, Shen Guiren hurried to the light room, leaned down in front of the emperor and said cautiously, "Go back to the emperor, my concubine saw that Li concubine dragged Lian nobleman, and waited for Lian nobleman to lose When the center of gravity was lost, he let go of his hand, and Lian Guiren fell into the pool."

When Cao Qinmo heard it, Shen Meizhuang's remarks almost clearly pointed out that Concubine Li did it on purpose, and the words of evasion that he originally thought of had a turn in his heart, and it was difficult to utter them.But Concubine Li was shocked, straightened up and defended herself, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged. I want to help a noble man, but I don't want him to fall down alone. This is an unintentional mistake. Please, Your Majesty." Mingchao."

Hearing Concubine Li's strong argument, Biyun grabbed the ground with her knees, knelt and rubbed her way, and cried, "I beseech the emperor to be the master, this slave and maidservant saw Concubine Li forcefully pull my master, her face is terribly frightening, as if she wanted to eat people. "

"Nonsense!" Concubine Li was shaking like chaff at this moment, and crawled to the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, the maid is standing far away by the pavilion, so she can see clearly and clearly slander. How could the concubine do such things in full view? As? There has never been any enmity between ministers and nobles, and ministers and concubines have been wronged."

At this time, Fang Ruo also came out of the inner bed, knelt down and reported to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, the slaves and maidservants were serving near me during dinner, and I heard the concubine Li swearing at each other, mocking the master for not being supported by the concubine Hua. Lian Guiren couldn't stand this kind of alienation, so he replied a few words, I'm afraid that the concubine Li has resentment in her heart, so she will do this. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask the concubine Hua."

Concubine Hua had already got up at this moment, and after listening to Fang Ruo's words, she knew that Concubine Li was doomed this time.Before she could open her mouth to clear up the relationship, she heard the emperor say, "Concubine Li is ruthless, harms her concubine, her title will be removed, she will be demoted to a criminal record, and she will be imprisoned in the Punishment Department to listen to my punishment."

After hearing this, Concubine Li cried out as if struck by lightning, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and Your Majesty is merciful." Then she saw Concubine Hua standing in the inner room and asked for help, "Concubine Hua, please help me, Your Majesty, please help me."

Seeing that Concubine Li wanted to crawl into the house, the emperor waved his hand at Su Peisheng for fear that she would disturb Yinhu, and ordered three or four servants to come in and drag Concubine Li out.

The emperor turned around and looked at Concubine Hua who was panicking, and asked coldly, "Concubine Li has been in your courtyard since the palace, and now she has committed such a crime, how do you punish her?"

Concubine Hua secretly swallowed her saliva under the gaze of the emperor like a falcon. She had never seen the emperor so thunderous and furious. She managed to stabilize her figure and found her voice after a long time, "Give her the white silk to hang herself." .”

Yinzhen shook his head, squinted his eyes, looked at Concubine Hua and asked, "I heard that Concubine Xia once punished Xia's presence, what is that method called?"

Where did Concubine Hua dare to show her cruel methods in front of the emperor, she was at a loss for words.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was silent, the emperor glanced sideways at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng hurried to the emperor's side, "Going back to the emperor, you are very popular."

Yinzhen squinted his eyes and asked, his eyes were gloomy, "What is one foot red?"

Su Peisheng quickly leaned over and replied, "Take a two-inch thick and five-foot-long board and beat the female prisoner under the waist until the bones are broken and the flesh is blurred. From a distance, it looks bright red, so it is called one foot red."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "I will give the criminal woman a foot of red, and Concubine Hua will watch over her for me." After Yan Bi, the emperor returned to the bedside and sat down, waved away the crowd, and ordered Ye Shisheng and Liu Yuduo to be on call in the outer courtyard at any time. Only Fang Ruoting was left in the room.

After Concubine Hua led the rest of the concubines away from Chuxiu Palace without a sound, she had to be led by Su Peisheng all the way to the Department of Punishment, where she saw Concubine Li being tortured with the cane.

Although Concubine Hua hated Concubine Li's recklessness and stupidity, she was her sister who had been with her in the same courtyard since she was young, and she was also one of the few fans in this deep palace.But at this moment, Concubine Hua could only watch Concubine Li's tendons and veins cut, and listen to her wailing, for a moment, she was neither a human nor a ghost, she could not live or die.Nian Shilan held the brocade handkerchief tightly, feeling that the Forbidden Palace was as cold as hell.

After the cane punishment lasted for an hour, the servant who executed the execution stopped.Concubine Hua turned her head to leave, but was stopped by Su Peisheng, "Concubine Hua, the emperor ordered the empress to watch over her, the sinful woman has not died yet, how can the empress leave first?"

Concubine Hua sighed deeply, knowing that this was the true meaning of the emperor.In the past, Shilan entered the mansion since she was a child. She used to be innocent and innocent, but she lived in a secluded courtyard just to keep her husband's favor. Now she has transformed into such a bright and charming but vicious and domineering concubine.For the first time, Nian understood that the emperor had a clear eye for everything about her, and the favor she had always wanted to keep was probably even more out of reach than the cold moon in the deep palace.

Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Li, who was prostrate on the ground and gasped for breath. The once beautiful and lively concubine of the first palace was already filthy red, twisting her body in the pool of warm blood spilled all over the ground, within a moment, There was no more movement.
