, I really feel angry when I think about it.

After Xiao Ren left, Qinglian knelt alone in the inner punishment room. The air around her was a bit blocked. After kneeling for more than half an hour, Qinglian felt a little dizzy.Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Xiao Ren led two guards from Nifang Palace. Although she knew that today's disaster could not be avoided, Qinglian felt inexplicable fear in her heart. Her father was not here, her brother was not here, and Mr. Qin was not here. Even Jia Rui was not there, and now he was the only one left in the court.

"May I ask if there are any rules here in Yuefu?" Zou Da asked impatiently.After all, Xiaochun said that he wanted Yuefu to teach him a lesson, so naturally he had to follow the rules here. "For the crime of disrespect to the lord, there are fifty sticks or one hundred vines." Xiao Ren said and directed Zou and Sun to look at the equipment prepared in the punishment room.

The ebony sandalwood stick was thick and heavy, and it would take a lot of effort to swing it, so Zou Da took out the cane stick immersed in the long-necked bottle, weighed it in his hand, and motioned to Sun Chengbin beside him.The two of them knew that they would take the musician back to Nifang Palace to return to his life in a while, and worried that the punishment would be too heavy with the wooden stick, and going back would be a troublesome matter on their own heads.

The cane was about as thick as an arm, and it was made of fine vines. It was very tough after being soaked in water for a long time. Sun Chengbin waved it in the air, and the water drops fell on Qinglian's face not far away. , the cold feeling made Qinglian shudder.Seeing that the cane was easy to use, Zou Da came over and pulled up Qinglian who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the torture rack.

Also knelt for some time, Qing Lian stood up for a while, her knees hurt, and she couldn't stand still and staggered a few steps.Zou Da thought that Qinglian had added a little more strength to her struggling hands, and said angrily, "Now I know I'm afraid, and you will suffer it right away! It's for your own good, so that you won't be able to resist the punishment for a while. To add guilt."

What Sun Chengbin said was true, Qinglian saw that she couldn't hide, so she had to let the guards tie her to the cold torture rack.Qinglian held her hands high, tied up with hemp rope and hung on the shelf, maybe it was too troublesome, Zou Sun didn't bother to tie her waist and feet, Qinglian fell on a cold wooden frame, her back exposed in front of everyone.Zou Da is also a veteran of all kinds, knowing that one hundred vines is not a small amount, so he took the water from the long-necked bottle and splashed it on Qinglian's back, so as not to shatter her clothes in a while, while Sun Chengbin stepped forward and picked up Qinglian's loose hair. Twist it twice and stuff it into Qinglian's collar.

If Zou and Sun usually saw Qinglian's appearance, they might bully them, but it's a pity that Yuefu Xiao Ren couldn't do it down.The drenched silk shirt clings to Qinglian's back, outlining that thin and slender figure, with jade-colored skin looming.Qing Lian's head was resting on the torture rack, her snow-white neck was exposed by her loose collar, and her trembling skin was slightly flushed, making her more seductive.Gong Ye was dull, Zou and Sun were naturally not vegetarians, the originally drowsy mood was gone now, and there was a cruel and cruel look in their eyes.

initial

Perhaps because they didn't want to stay too long in the dark inner punishment room, Zou Da and Sun Chengbin each held a vine to the left and right, and struck Qinglian's back at the same time.After being soaked in water for a long time, the cane was extremely flexible, and it bent into an arc in the air, carrying the strong wind and hitting Qinglian's back, making a crisp sound.Although she was separated by her clothes, Qinglian felt as if her back was about to be cut by a sharp knife.Out of habit, Qinglian suppressed howling in pain, but because her hands were bound and hung on the torture frame, there was no place to exert force on her body, and her whole body writhed due to the pain.

The vine whips were swung very frequently, without any chance to breathe. Seeing Qinglian's body swaying in pain and the crumbs overflowing between her teeth, Zou and Sun became more and more merciless, and they seemed to be screaming. It's like trying to compare who can make the victim more painful.Xiao Ren, who was singing on the sidelines, looked at the light in the eyes of the two guards who were executing the sentence, and his heart became more and more disdainful for Qinglian, who could seduce others even after being tortured.Due to the hard work of Zou and Sun, the execution of the hundred vines was completed in a short while, and Qinglian fell silent on the torture rack.

Due to the splashing of water, the clothes were still intact under such merciless beatings, but the bloodstains from the wound on the back spread into a large area, and the clothes were still unwearable.Zou Da threw the cane on the ground, shook his sore arm from too much force, and walked over to look at the quiet Qinglian.

The torrential punishment caused Qinglian to faint in the severe pain. Zou Da untied Qinglian's bound hands. There were bruises on her wrists. Without traction, Qinglian's body walked along the punishment The frame slipped and fell to his knees.When Qinglian was about to fall to the ground, Zou Da grabbed Qinglian's hair, exposing his pale but delicate face in front of others, with his eyes closed quietly, as if sleeping quietly.

Snapped!Sun Chengbin stepped forward to touch Qinglian's slippery cheek, then raised his hand and slapped her hard, his flattened brows furrowed instantly.Seeing that Qinglian had woken up, Zou Da let go of her hand and let Qinglian kneel on the ground in pain.In the end, Xiao Ren couldn't see it from the sidelines, and stepped forward to help Qinglian.Qinglian tried her best to stand upright, but the cracked wound on his back made him feel heartbroken every time he moved. The injury was on his shoulder and back, and it didn't hinder his walking. Qinglian had no choice but to walk out of the inner punishment room step by step.

Due to Qinglian's serious injury and slow movement, Xiao Ren had no choice but to help Qinglian to the front hall, even though it still took a while.According to Xiao Ren's instruction, Zou Sun followed Xiao Ren's instructions to sign the Yuefu punishment registration book, and they both began to feel embarrassed.Although Qinglian's injury on her back did not impede her movement, the ruthless hundred rattan staff definitely made it impossible for Qinglian to regain her vitality in a short period of time, and she might not be able to support herself and walk back to Nifang Palace.If Qinglian was brought back to Empress Xiaochun like this, if she couldn't play music, she would probably end up offending the Lord again, and would be ashamed for the Yuefu.And Qinglian is also troubled in her heart, she doesn't know how she can restore the name of Yuefu and Mr. Qin.

Just when the four were in a dilemma, Wang Lian, the chief eunuch of Nifang Palace, came to Yuefu to convey the order of Empress Xiaochun, and reported to Yuefu to recruit Qinglian as a servant on duty in Nifang Palace and not to leave the palace.Wang Lian looked at the results of Yuefu's punishment behind Qinglian's back with a blank expression, and then asked Xiao Ren to prepare a set of musician's clothes for Qinglian to change into.

Xiao Ren was very surprised by this kind of decree. Staying overnight on duty is a favor that only a very favored musician would have. You must know that the Yuefu is within the palace, and even if it is a late-night feast, you must return to the Yuefu to stay.Therefore, Xiao Ren couldn't figure out why Tong Qinglian could do anything. She used to stay in Lantai, a forbidden place in the imperial city, but now she committed a serious crime and was sent to punish her. However, she was favored by Empress Xiaochun, and she came to Nifang Palace as an exclusive musician. Is it true? Is the victim of Israel?

After waiting for quite a while, Qinglian changed her clothes again, but Wang Lian didn't urge her, and watched Qinglian's lack of pace with cold eyes.Seeing that Qinglian had finished tidying up, Wang Lian waved his hands and made a gesture of leaving. At this moment, Qinglian who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "I want to get a set of flute belt from Yuefu, please please Helping to prepare." Although the injury was so severe that it made people dizzy, Qinglian never forgot the reason for her punishment today and her responsibilities as a musician.

"You don't need to prepare the flute. The empress doesn't like the sound of flutes. Xiao Le is asking to prepare a set of good bamboo flutes for the empress to listen to." Wang Lian said, Xiao Renzi no longer dared to neglect, just curious Wang How could Lian know about himself since he had never had any contact with Yuefu.Just now Wang Lian wanted to lead Qinglian back empty-handed and didn't ask to remind her. He waited until Qinglian raised it before he came to give advice. He didn't know what the intention was, Zou and Sun secretly slandered.

Wang Lian has always been indifferent, except for Empress Xiaochun, he never pays attention to the life and death of others. As the four most beloved eunuchs around Emperor Zi Ye in the past, Wang Lian's palace has been ups and downs for many years, and now he has long regarded the world. It's like a play, treat each other coldly, and don't interfere in the slightest.

The time is approaching, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the leaves of the trees in the imperial palace are curled up by the scorching sun. Qinglian dragged her steps and walked slowly under the scorching sun. Wang Lian walked with her without urging her.Zou Da and Sun Chengbin on the side are not as good as Qinglian and Wang Lian, one is sweating, the other is calm, they are both restless and sweating like rain.Zou and Sun wanted to carry Qinglian back to Nifang Palace, it was better than roasting in the scorching sun, but Wang Lian refused and insisted that Tong Qinglian go back to Nifang Palace by herself.

Returning to Nifang Palace, Wang Lian handed over the flute box in Qinglian's hand to a small prisoner, and then led Qinglian to plead guilty to the queen. It happened that Xiaochun was sleepy and was about to take a nap, so he answered indiscriminately and the matter was over.As if the previous anger no longer exists, Qinglian's fault is also dispensable.

Wang Lian asked Qinglian to take Qinglian to Nifang Palace where the court musicians stayed. Qinglian followed the prisoner for a long time before arriving at a remote courtyard.Since Nifang Palace is the queen's main palace, it is not convenient for musicians to stay overnight. Although the residence is prepared according to the etiquette, it has been in disrepair for a long time and is very deserted.The little eunuch Buti led Qinglian into the dusty room, seeing that it was really bad, he went out to fetch water for cleaning.

Not long after, Wang Lian came back again. He didn't mind seeing the cobwebs and dust in the room. He pulled a stool in the room and sat down. He explained the rules of Nifang Palace to Qinglian carefully, and then took out the thick stack of music under his arm. The manuscript was placed on the table and said: "Here are the sets of songs that the Queen usually likes to listen to and the music scores for the supporting plays. The history of children's music is free to prepare. Maybe the Queen will call you to play music tomorrow. If you offend the Queen at that time, it will be your own fault." It’s a bitter fruit. Also, this is the Central Palace, the residence of the empress, it’s best to stay here if you haven’t summoned Tong Leshi, otherwise if you offend Fengyan, you’ll just die, you understand!”

Talking dry, Wang Lian wanted to pour a glass of water to moisten his throat, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that the teapot on the table was covered with black dust. , to Qinglian before leaving
