Struggle small peasant girl happy in the mountains and forests

Chapter 116 The past is like smoke, shocking (3)
After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she pulled Pei Wushuang out, crackling ten lashes, and she didn't gasp after beating. It can be seen that everyone is often whipped like this.

Pei Wushuang was beaten to pieces, his whole body was burning hot, and he felt pain inside and out, sobbing in his mouth, tears streaming down his eyes.

The mother-in-law went out of the weaving room directly after beating, closed the door and walked away...

Seeing the old woman leave, the girl at the back hurriedly stepped forward and helped Pei Wushuang up. The others had already returned to work at the loom, and the commonplace things had already become numb.

Pei Wushuang was in pain physically and mentally, and was very sad, but the girl behind just helped her up, sat on the stool, then went back to sit down in front of her loom, and started to weave, and stopped talking to Pei Wushuang, thinking of herself It was the same when I came, but no one paid attention to me lying on the ground.

Pei Wushuang could only continue with tears in his eyes. He couldn't sleep well, he was exhausted physically and mentally, he was overwhelmed with worry, he was exhausted from working, and he was whipped. Pei Wushuang fell down after weaving for less than an hour.

Someone in the room saw Pei Wushuang faint. One of them frowned, walked to the wall, and shook the big bell tied with a rope by the wall.

After a while, the beating woman brought two strange women into the weaving room, directly carried Pei Wushuang to the next room where she was sleeping, ordered someone to boil a bowl of medicine for her, and left her alone.

Pei Wushuang woke up heavily, and saw that he was sleeping on a big bed. The bed was really big, with dozens of quilts on it, and everyone fell asleep head to head. It was more like a stone platform than a bed. .

"Drink the medicine when you wake up, and go to the weaving room in a while, if you can't weave today, you will be beaten tomorrow!" A woman brought a bowl of black medicine to Pei Wushuang, and said viciously.

Pei Wushuang picked up the bowl, the medicine was already cold, he gritted his teeth and drank a sip, all the cells in Pei Wushuang's body trembled, his small face wrinkled into a ball, he raised his head to meet the vicious eyes of the old woman, Pei Wushuang insisted on taking the medicine in one breath Down the throat.

The mother-in-law snatched the bowl back from Pei Wu's hands, glared at her, turned and left the room.

Tears flowed down again uncontrollably, all around her body was in burning pain, her head was not clear, and her head was light-headed. Pei Wushuang felt sore when he thought of his loving mother, strict father, and his doting brother.

Back in the weaving room again, everyone went to have lunch. Pei Wushuang had no food, so he had to go back to the loom and start working. But the second day and the third day continued for half a month. He was beaten and hungry, with only one steamed bun, one bowl of water, and one bowl of medicine every day.

For half a month, Pei Wushuang's body was covered with deep and shallow welts. Pei Wushuang no longer felt the pain. Thinking that his family had not found him until now, this place was not an ordinary secret.

in the Queen's Palace.

"How is she? Is there any news from over there?" A woman with a slightly protruding belly, eyes closed, lying on a soft couch, wearing a loose red nightgown, her hair was a little damp, obviously just finished taking a bath.

"Returning to your mother, the second young lady has a good life over there, she has learned to be good, and she hasn't been beaten recently!" Standing next to the woman's couch, Momo, who was dressed in dark green, replied calmly.

"Oh! That's fine too. After all, I'm also Bengong's younger sister. Although she's not the same mother, she's still close. Cousin Zhao did a good job in this matter. I'll send a message to my father tomorrow and reward him with 500 taels." Gold." The woman's tone was full of joy and satisfaction.

"Slaves understand!"

Cining Palace.

"How's it going? Did you find Miss Wushuang?" The queen mother looked anxious and said in a dignified tone.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, there is no clue at all. Many palace people said that Miss Wushuang left the Queen's Kunning Palace and headed towards the Imperial Study, but the people on the Emperor's side also asked all the time, and they all said no. See..." Eunuch Lin knew that the Queen Mother was anxious, but he had no clue about the situation in front of him.

"How is Mrs. Pei Er?!"

"Returning to your mother, since the day when Mr. Pei and Mr. Pei brought their maids to bring Mrs. Pei back to the house, I heard that Mrs. Pei has fainted three times and can't get food. Doctor Zhang and Mrs. Pei Doctor Wang followed, and the young master of the Pei family, Young Master Wu Jing, was searching from house to house with the guards in the capital. People in the capital were in a state of panic. I heard that the Holy Majesty..."

"Everyone in the Ai family knows that it is a bit inappropriate to find someone in Beijing on a large scale, but this person is a young lady of the Pei family, a cousin of the current empress, and someone the emperor wants to recruit into the palace. ..."

"Empress Dowager, could this matter have something to do with the Empress Dowager? Why did Miss Wushuang disappear without a trace after she came out of the Empress Palace? Is it possible that Miss Wushuang never came out of the Empress Palace at all? Hiding? In this harem..." Eunuch Lin made a bold guess.

"Xiao Linzi, you mean that the empress is jealous that Wushuang girl is loved by the emperor and Ai's family, so..." The empress dowager fell into deep thought, the expression on her face flickering.

The harem has been full of conspiracies and tricks over the years. The first emperor had few concubines and heirs, and the three sons were all born to the empress dowager. Their status was firm, but they were framed repeatedly. In the harem, family affection and so on are all jokes. Only the power and the emperor's favor are the most important. The queen mother clearly understands, is it really the queen? ...

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Uncle Pei has been getting close to the Empress's mother's Sun family ever since he was forcibly separated from the Pei family by Mr. Pei, and he had a bad relationship with the Second Master Pei when he was in the Pei family. Second Mrs. Pei gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Pei family, so her status is naturally higher than Mrs. Pei's. Mr. Pei loves his grandson, and it is very likely that Mr. Pei will be jealous, so..." Yuexi thought about the family affairs of the Pei family, and analyzed.

"If this is the case, the queen's worry must be because she is worried that Miss Wushuang will steal her favor after entering the palace. If she gives birth to a prince in the future and gets the support of the old man of the Pei family, then her status will definitely be threatened, and thus she will become a general. It's only natural for Miss to hide her or send her thoughts out of the palace..." Eunuch Lin reasoned after Yue Xi's words.

"You're right. The empress has always been meticulous. In less than two years in the harem, she has thoroughly grasped the tempers of the concubines. She is also relaxed and relaxed towards the emperor. She is very fond of the emperor. She is pregnant, it seems that this matter of Wushuang girl is a warning to Aijia!" The queen mother turned her mind, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ma'am, what shall we do then?"

"Yuexi, Yueqian seems to have a younger sister named Mengling, right?" The queen mother thought of the emperor's original spouse, Empress Tang.

Empress Tang, formerly known as Tang Yueqian, was the eldest lady of the Tang family, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Tianyang Kingdom. She was married by the former emperor to Tian Hongen, who was still the prince. Later, when Tian Hongen ascended the throne and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Tian Minghao, she died of dystocia.
