Queen is fearless

Chapter 156

Yuan Bao secretly sighed in his heart, not to mention his investigation and thoughts, but the emperor's. Obviously, from the emperor's heart, he had already decided that everything was Concubine Dong's fault.

Just now, because the empress woke up and wasted time, when the emperor was about to speak, Concubine Dong came again, so this scene happened.

What she said blamed all the faults on Bixi. As for Concubine Dong, she became the one who wanted to save the queen but failed.

Now, even if there is a lack of strict control, the emperor can't punish her too much. After all, the Dong family has just made a contribution.

Zhou Jing looked at Concubine Dong, she was saluting, so she couldn't see her expression.

He didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that this tourmaline should be pushed out as a scapegoat, but he didn't expect that Concubine Dong would make such a determination to push out his confidant.

It seems that it is to gain their trust.

But what she didn't know was that in her heart, she didn't have the slightest trust in her. To be exact, no one in the entire harem could trust him except the queen.

Concubine Dong knelt on the ground and touched her head to the ground. Only she knew the torment in her heart.

She really wanted to know what kind of expression the emperor had at this time, she could feel the emperor's eyes falling on her.

But she couldn't raise her head, she could only wait, waiting for the emperor's final sentence.

"Get up." After a long time, the emperor's voice came, Concubine Dong quickly responded and stood up.

She raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and saw his knife-like gaze fell on Tourmaline, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

She couldn't see anything else, she didn't know if the emperor believed it, and she didn't know what the emperor would do with the tourmaline.

"You did everything?" The emperor's calm voice came again, asking Tourmaline.

Subconsciously, Bixi shuddered, "Going back to the emperor, everything is the servant's fault, it's the servant who can't understand the queen monopolizing the emperor, as a queen, it should be..."

"I didn't ask you how the queen is. You are a servant, who gave you the courage to talk about the queen?"

Zhou Jing's words interrupted her, and she immediately closed her mouth, but Yuan Bao still stepped forward, slapped her a dozen times, and stared at her eyes.

"Since you pleaded guilty, then...let's give you an official post." Without looking at the tourmaline on the ground, Zhou Jing's eyes fell on Concubine Dong's face.

When she heard the words 'Tiejiaguan', Concubine Dong's face turned pale and her body shook slightly.

"Concubine Dong said just now that you are not strict in controlling your subordinates, I should have punished you, but because of your merits in your mother's family, I will not let you go for the time being, and if you have anything else, I will never forgive you lightly."

"I will punish you to watch from the sidelines during the execution." Pointing to the tourmaline on the ground, Zhou Jing said what to do with Concubine Dong.

This is more uncomfortable than being demoted!

The so-called 'Tiejiaguan' sounds good, but it is an extremely cruel punishment.

The process of execution is to tie the person to a stool, fix the limbs so that he cannot break free, and then wet the mulberry paper and stick it on the person's face.

At the beginning, I didn't feel anything, but as layers of mulberry paper covered the face, people would be unable to breathe, struggled with their hands and feet, and finally died of suffocation.

The mulberry paper dries very quickly, and when the person dies, the pieces of mulberry paper pasted on the face will also dry, reflecting the ferociousness of the person before death.

Reach out and peel it off, and you will get a hideous mulberry paper mask.

Bixi is Concubine Dong's confidant, being pushed by Concubine Dong to take the place of the dead ghost already made her very sad.

But now, the emperor issued an order to let her witness with her own eyes that Tourmaline died after being appointed as an official. One can imagine what kind of torment this is.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Dong took a step forward, wanting to say something, but heard Bixi's difficult voice.

"Slave and servant lead the decree, long live the emperor, long live, long live..." She was slapped several times by Yuan Bao just now, her face was swollen, and her speech was a bit slurred now.

Concubine Dong's footsteps stopped, she lowered her head, looked at Tourmaline from the corner of her eyes, and clenched her fists under her sleeves tightly.

"After the execution, throw the tourmaline to the mass grave. Concubine Dong took the people around you and left the palace overnight. You have 20 days to return to the palace. Without my will, you are not allowed to leave Yongchun Palace, and no one is allowed to visit you. No contact with Dong's family is allowed."

In order to prevent Concubine Dong from staying in the palace and causing harm to Gu Jinzhi again, Zhou Jing directly drove her back to the palace.

Not only that, but he also grounded her and cut off all her communication.

"I would like to obey the emperor's will." Concubine Dong gritted her teeth and saluted the emperor.

Zhou Jing didn't look at her anymore, turned her head and gave Yuan Bao a few words, and returned to the hall.

"Concubine Dong, please?" After the emperor entered, Yuan Bao took a step forward and spoke to Concubine Dong.

Although she has not been demoted, from now on, Concubine Dong will never stand up again.

In addition, the emperor's oral order said that without a will, Concubine Dong is not allowed to leave Yongchun Palace, nor is she allowed to have contact with her family. This is actually no different from being thrown into the cold palace.

When she came to Bixi, Concubine Dong stretched out her hand and helped her up from the ground. She helped her tidy her clothes and hair, and then followed Yuanbao to support her with Pearl.

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for your servants." Tourmaline whispered, a little indistinctly, her cheeks were swollen, and it hurt when she spoke.

But she knew that her time was running out, so she lowered her voice as much as possible, and tried to talk to Concubine Dong at the last moment.

Yuan Bao walked in front, and Tourmaline's voice was relatively low, so he couldn't hear clearly and didn't listen carefully.

Bixi was about to die, so it was useless to say anything, besides, after Concubine Dong returned to the palace, her feet would be grounded and she couldn't do much.

The palace is no better than the imperial palace, soon, when they arrived at the place, Concubine Dong stopped and refused to go in with the tourmaline for a long time.

"I also ask Concubine Dong to be considerate. Miscellaneous families dare not disobey the emperor's will. You have to go back to pack your things in a while, and you have to leave the palace overnight."

Yuan Bao looked at her, no smile on his face anymore, Concubine Dong looked at Bixi, tears welling up in her eyes.

Bixi withdrew her hand from Concubine Dong and Concubine Pearl's. She knelt on the ground and saluted Concubine Dong respectfully in accordance with the rules of salute.

"Slave bid farewell to master, I hope everything will be well for you from now on." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked firmly into the hall step by step.

Yuan Bao followed a few steps, then turned to look at Concubine Dong, "Your Majesty, please?"

The emperor's oral order was for Concubine Dong to watch the execution with her own eyes, so of course she would follow in. Concubine Dong stared at him, hatred flashed in her eyes very quickly, she raised her foot and followed.

The palace people in the palace have already received the news, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready.

Seeing Tourmaline coming in, he glanced at Yuanbao, saw him nodding, stepped forward and grabbed Tourmaline, and tied her to the stool.

Another palace servant stood beside Concubine Dong, preventing her from coming forward and preventing her from leaving.

Sheets of water-sprayed and soaked mulberry paper were stuck to Tourmaline's face, and she struggled...

　Many punishments in ancient times can be described as extremely cruel. In comparison, although Tiejiaguan is cruel, it is still much better than hacking, water torture, etc. Don't be curious to go to Baidu .
