The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Chapter 481 The He Family's Sin

For three days in a row, except when she was allowed to take off her hood to eat and drink water, Concubine He spent the rest of the time in endless darkness and loneliness.

The wound on the right palm had already scabbed over, including the hairpin, which was firmly attached to it.

Of course, she couldn't leave the chair. This position was humiliating and uncomfortable, but what made Concubine He even more upset was that she had to urinate and defecate on the chair in this room.

Even after she defecated, someone would come to help her clean up and change her into clean clothes after some time.

However, for a lady like Concubine He who never touches water in her daily life, she has to take a bath every day, and the bathtub has to be filled with flower petals.

In order to maintain a comfortable water temperature, the maid would keep adding hot water without her saying anything.

At this moment, Ji Jun sent two "substitutes" of Concubine He to clean her.

Concubine He is their master. Even though Concubine He is now imprisoned, the substitutes dare not be perfunctory. This is the absolute pressure that has been formed between masters and servants, between superiors and subordinates, between the noble and the humble, and even between the big and the small for a long time.

Even so, it is not as comfortable as usual at home. Not to mention comfort, it is simply unimaginable and unbearable "torture"!
When two people serve together, as long as one of them starts to take revenge, the other is likely to follow suit.

However, these two stand-ins obviously don't dare to be the first to take action.

Ji Yin did not instigate the two to torture Concubine He. In Ji Yin's heart, even though Concubine He had harmed her and her cousin time and time again, at this moment, Ji Yin disdained to use these tricks on Concubine He.

The "disguise Gu" brought by Concubine He was the most unexpected gain!
What's more, for Concubine He, cutting the flesh with a soft knife is the most effective blow!
During the day, Concubine He wore a hood, had her mouth gagged, and slumped on a chair.

Shaoyao kindly put a few chairs put together in front of her and said angrily,
"Hey! Look, our young lady is kindhearted, you can lie on the chair. But I say that a black-hearted, rotten-hearted guy like you who bullies others should be hung up and beaten! And you are not allowed to sleep, and you have to clean up after you poop and pee! Bah! In my opinion, I want you to stink to death!"

Concubine He was furious, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do.

After waiting for a long time, the Second Prince did not come to save her. Concubine He became more and more desperate, and she increasingly doubted how deeply the Second Prince had deceived her.

The second prince said that once the "Disguise Gu" controlled the Ji sisters, it could do whatever it wanted.

Even if Ji Yun and Ji Yin managed to escape, Concubine He would be able to get away unscathed.

However, the fact is that their Gu failed, and she was instead controlled by the Ji sisters.

Ji Yun told her that they had found Zhou Biao and Princess Lili, and also knew that Prince Guangning was controlled by the Second Prince.

Ji Jun smiled and said,
"Empress He, if His Highness really cared about you, he would definitely take the initiative to find us and exchange hostages at this moment. Unfortunately, His Highness is indifferent. The two guards you placed at the door have already run back to the Second Prince's Mansion, but everything in the Prince's Mansion remains the same. What does this mean? It means that your presence or absence has no effect on His Highness."

Concubine He retorted unwillingly,

"Don't be so proud! The Prince of Guangning is in His Highness's hands. Sooner or later, you will have to bow your heads! Otherwise--"

Ji Min said coldly,
"Don't dream. The Second Prince dares to kill the Emperor, but he doesn't dare to kill the Prince!"

The troops under the command of the Prince were a terrifying existence to the royal family. Therefore, in his previous life, the Prince of Guangning had never recognized the Second Prince, and the Second Prince had never dared to use tough measures against the Prince of Guangning.

At the same time, the second prince tried every means to prove Ji Yin's crime of "regicide".

The "disguise Gu" might have already made its debut at that time.

Countless palace servants saw "Ji Yin" committing the crime. Even if there were huge doubts, Prince Guangning had no way to clear Ji Yin's name in such a short time.

What's more, perhaps, later on, Prince Guangning also believed it.

After all, people always think that what they see is true.

It’s just that they haven’t thought about it, or don’t want to think about it, if someone deliberately wants you to see what they want you to see, then what’s the difference between you and the frog in the well?
As night fell, Concubine He gradually fell into a dream.

I could vaguely hear a hoarse pleading voice:

"Please, please, please save Lady Qin! Save the family of Duke Li!"

"My young lady will never harm His Majesty, and Duke Li will certainly not rebel. General Zhenyuan is even more loyal and upright, and will never rebel!"

"Concubine Qin must have been wrongly accused! It would be better to conduct a thorough investigation. You can't convict Concubine Qin just because a few palace maids said she murdered the emperor!" "Your Majesty, please help the Ji family and the Duke of Li's Mansion! If loyal ministers and good generals are framed, the royal family will lose the support of the people, and the Great Zhou will be unstable!"

"Your Highness, Concubine Qin is usually afraid of even the largest mosquitoes, so how could she possibly kill someone? This must be a frame-up! Your Highness, think about it, Concubine Qin would gain nothing by murdering the emperor, and she has no reason to do so!"

In the snow outside the Yiku Palace, Haitang, who was thinly dressed, was awkwardly pressed to the ground with her head by two eunuchs, and lay in the snow in a humiliating posture.

In front of her is Concubine He, who has already put on the phoenix crown and become the queen!

At this moment, Haitang's clothes were stained with blood, and her face was covered in blood!
She was the only personal maid that Ji Yin brought into the palace. When Ji Yin "killed the king", Haitang's confession was the most important.

"Pah!" The nanny beside Concubine He slapped her. When Haitang turned her head, blood splattered out of her mouth and nose!

"Unjust? How many palace servants saw it with their own eyes? Would His Majesty wrong you? Would the Queen wrong you?"

At this time, Concubine He looked down at Haitang as if she were looking at an ant.
"As long as you are willing to climb over the thousand nail boards, I will apply to the emperor on your behalf to reinvestigate the matter of Lady Qin's murder of the king. How do you think?"

Under the thousands of nail boards, there are countless ordinary people who roll up thousands of boards for one purpose. Many people die on the nail boards before they have the chance to appeal!
Even though there are numerous wronged souls, there are more people with the bloodiness of not being willing to give in, not surrendering, not admitting defeat, and not bowing their heads!
Haitang's hair was disheveled, and her already weak body seemed to be filled with strength again after hearing the words. She nodded vigorously, fearing that Concubine He would go back on her word the next moment.

"Are you serious? I do, I do!"

A nail board as long as a person was carried up.

Haitang struggled to crawl towards the nail board, but because of her severe injuries, the short two-foot distance seemed as long as a thousand mountains and rivers.

"Your Highness, she must be stalling for time. How can a slave be worthy of Your Highness's waiting? Why don't you go back to the palace and rest for a while?"

The nanny beside her suggested flatteringly.

Concubine He sat down steadily, raised her hand to stop him, and said to the eunuch lightly,

"You are such a tactless person, help Miss Haitang!"

Two eunuchs hurried forward, one raised his head and the other raised his foot, and threw Haitang heavily onto the thousand-nail board!
"what!"

With a scream, under Haitang was a nail board stained with blood.

Haitang tried to raise her head and look at Concubine He. Blood was flowing from her mouth and her life was slipping away bit by bit. Even so, Haitang still held her head up with all her strength and glared at Concubine He:

"You lied to me! Concubine He, you and the Second Prince committed regicide and treason, you will not have a good death! I, Haitang, curse you, in your next life, and in your next life, you will be betrayed by the Second Prince, and your entire He family will not have a good end!"

Drop by drop, blood quickly flowed out from the gaps in the nail board.

Concubine He stood up and looked down at Haitang and said,
"You are a bunch of untouchables, yet you are still restless and insist on demanding justice. You think justice can only come from power and money? You don't deserve it!"

Haitang bit her lips tightly with her remaining strength. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood foam and died.

The maid beside him said,

"My Lady, since you have the Disguise Gu, why don't you use it on Haitang?"

Concubine He said,
"The Prince of Guangning is not easy to deceive. He has been looking for the prince for many years and has had many dealings with the Suogu tribe in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, he can recognize whether Gu magic is used. So we can't let him know that we use Gu, otherwise all the previous arrangements will be in vain."

When she turned around, Haitang was covered in blood, and a pair of eyes with bloody tears were staring at her...

Behind Haitang, countless ghosts are approaching her!

Concubine He woke up suddenly and met Ji Yin's gaze.

Ji Yin's half-smile turned cold in an instant when he looked at Concubine He.
"In order to refine the nourishing poison, Duke Chen killed many lives, both human and animal. However, in order to avoid punishment, Duke Chen divided up many of the bones and hid them in the Long'an County Prince's Mansion. But now, I know that your He family is the headquarters of Duke Chen! I used to wonder where Duke Chen got his support from. To support people, to support the poison, and to support the soldiers, money is needed. It turns out that it was the He family's money! Concubine He, your "disguise poison" helped me a lot, but I'm afraid it's time to settle the sins committed by your He family!"

Concubine He was horrified.

"How did you know?"

Even the second prince doesn’t know!
Ji Yin smiled slightly.
"Any Gu is nothing in front of my cousin, no, in front of the descendant of the Saint with the highest cultivation level in the ancient clan!"
