Stand-in beauty favors the Sixth Palace

The crazy woman kept cursing, whatever was hard to hear, Chu Tingyue ignored it.

Over the years, the crazy woman has insulted him thousands of times, and Chu Tingyue's mood has long since not fluctuated in the slightest.

"Bitch, it's no wonder you're a loner in the first place. It's good for Chu Yuanqing to die. You don't deserve to be liked. It's good to die, it's best to die..."

The crazy woman kept repeating 'Chu Yuanqing is well dead', staring at Chu Tingyue and laughing strangely.

Chu Tingyue paused, turned to face the mad woman, his face was extremely cold and gloomy.

The crazy woman flinched, then pointed at him and laughed, her face grim.

"Bring it in."

Chu Tingyue gave instructions to his cronies, who escorted the mad woman and opened the passage to the dungeon.

The crazy woman stared wide-eyed at the wide-open dark passage, her laughter stopped abruptly, she held her head and screamed, her expression flustered and painful, "I don't want to go in! I don't go in!"

The crazy woman struggled, it was more violent than before, her skinny hands clasped the door tightly, and she refused to go inside no matter what.

Chu Tingyue passed her and entered the dungeon.

The cronies pinched the crazy woman's wrist and squeezed it lightly, and the crazy woman screamed continuously, her wrist drooped weakly, her face was covered with tears and snot.

"Walk."

The confidant shouted and turned her into the dungeon.

The dungeon was cold and damp, filled with a decaying atmosphere. Chu Tingyue stepped on the stone steps and walked down layer by layer.There are burning candles on both sides of the stone steps, and the lights get dimmer as you go down.

Chu Tingyue walked down the stone steps, slowly walked through the torture room full of torture instruments, and stood in front of the innermost cell fence made of black iron.

In the corner of the cell, curled up a skinny man who could barely make out a human figure.

The dungeon was damp and cold, the man trembled from time to time, his clothes were torn and stained with blood, his hair was dry and frizzy, and it was messy on his head.

Chu Tingyue looked down at him indifferently, "Drag out."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cronies opened the cell, dragged him out, and handcuffed him on the rack.

"What do you want to do?"

Chu Ting stood like a puddle of mud, letting his cronies tie him up without struggling.

Chu Tingyue looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"Oh, I'll know if you don't tell me."

Chu Tingli smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, his pale and bloodless face was hideous and terrifying, and the words he uttered were breathless, "What you want will never come true."

"Third Emperor Brother," Chu Tingyue turned and sat down, Zhi Yi looked at him, tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingertips, "You are so sure, you know a lot after thinking about it. Do it, let him speak."

Chu Tingli closed his eyes, his expression unchanged.It's been three years, and torture has happened every now and then. He has long been numb, and his perception of pain has decreased a lot. He is no longer afraid.

In any case, no matter what he knew, he would not speak.

The confidant took the whip and stirred it twice in the salt water, and with a flick of his wrist, the whip seemed to have eyes and quickly lashed against Chu Tingli's skin like electricity, making a crisp sound.

The next moment, red marks and blood ooze from the place where the whip was struck, and the salt water around the wound flows into it, Chu Tingli clenched his teeth.

Seeing him being beaten, the crazy woman struggled frantically and wanted to step forward to protect him, but with her cronies behind her, all struggles were in vain.

"Emperor..." the crazy woman choked and shouted, seeing several whips fall on her beloved parent and child, she suddenly curled up into a ball with her head in her arms.

Chu Tingli clenched his teeth and squeezed out words, "Chu Tingyue, what is it for you to let your mother see your own son tortured? Send her out."

The queen mother was dignified and generous, but Chu Tingyue was tortured insane by her birth, and she became neither human nor ghost.

"Are you ordering me, or are you negotiating conditions with me?" Chu Tingyue asked, "Are you qualified?"

"Who told you to stop? Continue." Chu Tingyue gave the order, and spent a lot of time watching Chu Tingli's face gradually grim, and could no longer bear the pained voice.

As soon as Chu Tingli's voice came out, the petite and thin body of the crazy woman who curled up to escape from reality twitched and screamed.

"what--!"

The crazy woman's hands became claws, and she waved them irregularly, attacking the person who was holding her.

Chu Tingyue took a look and gestured, and his cronies tied her to the rack as well.

"Chu Tingyue! What do you want to do to the queen mother! Don't touch her, what are you doing to me!!" Chu Tingli roared, his voice hoarse.

Chu Tingyue remained silent, stared at Chu Tingli for a while, and suddenly said: "You have a hard mouth, I don't know how long you can keep it, I have a lot of time to spend with you." Face, Chu Tingyue ordered, "Do it."

The instrument of torture did not fall on the crazy woman, but it hurt her more than falling on her.Seeing Shiyue's son who has been pregnant and loved for nearly 20 years suffers, but there is nothing she can do, it makes her more uncomfortable than killing her.

Even if she has been driven mad by it.

The crazy woman stared at Chu Tingli, weeping silently.

Chu Tingli could no longer grit his teeth, and cried out in pain.

On the palace road, Zhou Porridge held the palace lantern and led Chu Qing and Lingyin back to Qingyan Palace.

Chu Qing followed behind Zhou Porridge, pretending to be afraid, "Eunuch Zhou, how long have you been in the palace?"

"About five years."

"Then have you ever heard that there are ghosts over there?" Chu Qing asked.

"Never, there are no ghosts, they are all deceitful, you can rest assured, servant." Zhou Congee said, "Besides, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, so it is really a ghost, photographed by the emperor's power, who Dare to mess around."

"Eunuch Zhou is right. I was frightened and became suspicious."

Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, "But, but I really heard the sounds of nursery rhymes, laughter, and ringtones. It can't be fake, right? Eunuch Zhou, since it's not a ghost, then you say... Could it be a human?"

Zhou Porridge paused, "Your servant is really good at joking, it's all in dilapidated condition over there, how could there be anyone there?"

"really?"

"...Maybe there is someone," Zhou Congee stopped, and whispered beside Chu Qing, "When I was a little eunuch before the emperor, I heard from the old people that there would be maids and guards who would secretly meet in that area, or It's the palace lady and the eunuch who are eating each other, so there will always be strange noises at night."

"..."

"That's it, thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for telling me, otherwise I'll think about it when I go back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well."

Chu Qing thought that if she asked again, she wouldn't be able to ask anything, but it would make people alert and shut up wisely.

Zhou Porridge dutifully sent Chu Qing back to Qingyan Palace, "The Servant will rest earlier, and the servant will leave."

"Eunuch Zhou, go slowly."

Chu Qing entered the palace gate and walked in, Ling Yin followed behind him, whispering, "Master, we clearly saw a crazy woman, how could..."

Chu Qing interrupted her, "Sincerely, you know this matter and I know the world, so don't talk about it with others."

It is now known that the mad woman is the late emperor's empress, Lu Yan.The queen of a country was imprisoned in the cold palace and became a lunatic. Who else could have done it if it wasn't Chu Tingyue.

Those who know don't tell, and those who don't know think it's haunted, so they cover up the matter of the cold palace.Now is not the time to inquire about this matter, if Chu Tingyue is angered, life will be difficult.

The ring tone responded, "Slaves, nothing happened today."

Chu Qing nodded and stepped into the atrium.

Liuying was waiting for them in the yard. She hadn't seen them coming back for a long time, and she was already waiting anxiously. She caught a glimpse of Chu Qing and hurried forward, "Master, you are back."

Chu Qing didn't speak, and Liu Ying continued, "The hot water bed has been tidied up, and I will wait for your servant to come back to rest."

Chu Qing nodded, entered the main hall, washed and lay down on the bed.

Tonight is Liu Ying's vigil, and Chu Qing is lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

"Liuying, light two lamps." Chu Qing raised her voice and ordered.

Liu Ying responded, and came in after a while, "Master, will it be too bright to light two more lamps? It will disturb your rest."

"No, it was too dark on the way back just now, and Lingyin and I lost our way, and we were startled, so please feel relieved."

Chu Qing explained, urging Liu Ying to light the lamp quickly.

Liuying: "..."

Liu Ying: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The two lamps were lit, and the room was much brighter, and the inside of the bed surrounded by the heavy curtain was also clearly visible.

"Go and watch outside, I will call you if necessary."

"Yes."

Liuying agreed and withdrew.Hearing the sound of her leaving footsteps, Chu Qing took a while to move, turned over and sat up on the bed, and took out some rice paper and a sharpened charcoal pencil from under the pillow.

Chu Qing sat cross-legged, propped his head and recalled the information he had seen in Qinzheng Hall.The memorial said that more troops should be sent to the border between Dachu and Nanliang, just in case, what Chu Tingyue reviewed was reconsideration.

In Chu Qing's view, increasing troops is a certainty, but what should he say?

Chu Qing didn't want to tell the truth, even if he took the bait for fishing, he didn't want to.If the news didn't get out, and the fish didn't take the bait, but was intercepted by Chu Tingyue, would he have other options besides being executed?

Chu Qing tilted his head, thought and thought carefully, and began to write.

Half-truth is half-false, no matter which side is pursued, he has something to say.

Chu Qing wrote like a god, and after a while, the two-finger-wide note was covered with small words of mosquitoes and flies.Chu Qing read it through, packed his things contentedly, and lay down to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Qing got up early, with his eyes still closed, and in the name of Gong, he stuffed the small note in a dark place, and put a mark on it that he negotiated before entering the palace.

"Liuying, don't clean up, go have dinner with Rongyin and Lingyin." Chu Qingzhi walked away from Liuying, and Chu Tingyue's people were guarding here, how dare the fish jump out of the water?

Liuying hesitated, "If the servants leave, there will be no one to serve the king..."

"There are so many little maids here, how come there is no one to serve them? Besides, I just sleep back in the cage, so I don't need someone to serve me."

As Chu Qing said, he had already climbed onto the bed, and closed his eyes after covering the brocade quilt.

Liuying had no choice but to back away, and after a while Rongyin came in and took a look at him, tucked him under the horns, and backed out again.

Chu Qing adjusted his posture to lie on his side. From his position, he could clearly see who passed by where he put the note.

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes, quietly waiting to see who knew that the fish was caught.
