The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 48 The Department of Punishment ([-])
Seeing Liu Yue's flickering words, Wanyu saw a turning point, and when she was about to ask questions, she heard a "squeak" from the iron door of the darkroom, and followed her reputation, the door was pushed open by someone, and it was Hui Hui who came in. eunuch.

Concubine Hui closed the door lightly, and the flat square of red jade with jade tassels tied on her forehead was really gorgeous and eye-catching.

She flicked her eyes on Liu Yue, and then walked towards Wan Yu: "Your palace man's words were flickering, and it took me a long time to find out that you really came here by yourself." Her soft words were full of caring, After Xiang Wanyu asked Liuyue in detail what Liuyue had confessed, she held her head upright and said to Liuyue: "If you know something, spit it out, if you conceal half a sentence, you and your family will be detained for interrogation."

For some reason, Liu Yue, who had a tendency to let go of her mouth, suddenly twisted her body like a frenzy, so frightened that Concubine Hui hurriedly pulled Wan Yu back a few steps.

Her mouth was full of cursing words, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Everything is done by Concubine Xian, there is nothing else to explain! Concubine Hui, slaves have made thousands of mistakes, but the disaster is not as good as the family. I hope you will show mercy and forgive slaves." family!"

Concubine Hui slightly nodded her head with a look of suspicion: "Concubine Xian? You have such dishonest hoofs, you dare to scramble carelessly when you are about to die!" She gently and forcefully dropped the arm that was wrapped around Wan Lai, and squeezed at her. Eyebrows said: "Sister, you and I can't ask anything from this lowly servant girl, let the mothers continue to torture and serve."

Concubine Hui pointed to the instruments of torture placed on the ground beside her, covered her mouth and nose with Juanzi, frowned and said, "Hello to these instruments of torture one by one, are you afraid that she won't tell the truth?"

Wanyu was dragged by Concubine Hui to the door, but quickly broke her hand away from her arm: "If she is tortured again, it will be a blessing if she can survive today. If she dies, how can sister Rongyue be wronged?" If you don't sit down, it will be hard to get back to heaven?"

Concubine Hui was taken aback, and nodded thoughtfully in response to Wanyu: "What my sister said is true, it turned out that my sister was confused and forgot the pros and cons of this level." Yue Xuankong was next to him, and asked sharply: "You said that concubine Xian did that thing, except for empty words, is there any evidence?"

Liu Yue sneered a few times, and the laughter made people shiver.At this moment, she was swinging in the air like a crazy woman, staring at Concubine Hui with fierce eyes: "The apron is proof, if not Concubine Xian, who would be able to get close to her?"

"It's you."

A leisurely voice sounded behind the two of them, and when they looked back, they saw the Empress wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with birds and phoenixes standing outside the door of the dark room with her hands folded on her chest.

The two nuns who had just retired were following behind respectfully, but Qingyue, who had always been serving the queen, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Wan Lai and Concubine Hui saluted the Empress, the Empress did not look at the two of them, but asked flatly, "You two have interrogated for a long time, have you reached a conclusion?"

The concubine who entered the Punishment Department privately was not in harmony with the palace rules, and now she was bumped into by the queen, and the two of them did not dare to speak much, so they briefly replied to the queen's words.

I thought that the Empress had lost face in Chengqian Palace yesterday, but if she grabbed her sore foot today, she would have an immediate attack. Unexpectedly, the Empress smiled lightly and walked steadily to the two of them with a gentle smile: "If you can't find anything in the trial, you can step back. , I have already ordered Qingyue to go to another darkroom to pick up Lianxin and take her back to Chengqian Palace, and sent the imperial doctor to heal her wounds. The emperor just ended the confinement of the concubine Xian, Chengqian Palace should be the most lively at this moment, you Since the two are concerned about Concubine Xian, they will hurry to visit her."

Wan Lai's face was full of shock, although she was happy for Rong Yue in her heart, she also secretly suspected that this matter was strange, Concubine Hui was as surprised as she was, and asked the queen in a puzzled tone: "I don't know what new things happened in the palace this morning. The concubine and nobleman Wan are still thinking about how to help Concubine Xian get out of trouble, but the emperor actually forgave her first?" She stirred the juanzi in her hands, and asked after a moment of contemplation: "But...the person who framed Concubine Xian was found?"

"Concubine Hui's question is very strange." The queen glanced at Concubine Hui, her eyes froze on her restless hands, her expression suddenly darkened: "This Liu Yue has been in the Punishment Division for three days. Concubine Xian, is she not the only one?"

Concubine Hui stopped her movements, calmed down a bit and said: "I just think about it, how can she have such earth-shattering abilities as a court lady?"

The queen stopped talking to her and ordered the two of them to retreat with a wave of hands.

After the two left, the execution matriarch locked the door tightly with a bang.

Liu Yue was startled by the voice, raised her eyes to look at the queen who was looking at her with a contemptuous smile, Nuonuo said: "Your Majesty, the slaves have already been recruited, they are concubines."

"What does this have to do with Concubine Xian? My palace has ordered people to investigate clearly. Concubine Xian was searched and cleared when she entered the palace, and she did not carry any poison. There is no record of Chengqian Palace taking poison from Chengqian Palace in the imperial hospital. So what do you say?" Where did the poison you brought come from? Moreover, the maid beside Chengqian Palace also saw that you went in and out of Concubine Xian's bedroom alone during the day. The Qianqing Palace recruited, so this matter has cleared the fog, it is you who deliberately framed the concubine Xian." The queen smiled calmly, and winked at the execution mother behind her, who immediately took the burning red one. The lead water came: "You talk about things and your thoughts are vicious, so I will give you lead, with the intention of rebirth in the next life, so that you can keep your mouth shut and don't tell lies."

The so-called lead filling is to pour hot lead water from the mouth.As soon as the molten lead water entered the stomach, it would solidify into hard lumps, which tortured people to death.

Looking at the bright lead water, Liu Yue struggled in the air and shouted her innocence. The execution mother untied the diamond wire wrapped around her forehead, and she fell to the ground in an instant, and there was a sound of bone cracking in her ankle. , She screamed in pain and couldn't straighten up.

One of the executioners raised her forehead and parted her clenched lips and teeth, while the other filled an iron spoon full of lead water, and was about to pour it into it with a sinister smile on her face.

Seeing that the lead water was about to enter, the queen raised her hand and ordered them to stop.

Liu Yue pushed away the execution mother with the remaining strength, and climbed to the queen's feet, but was soon caught by the mother, unable to get close to the queen.She cried and cried, tears and blood condensed all over the ground, the queen frowned and looked down at her condescendingly, shaking her head and sighing: "You dare to attack the emperor's heir's idea, and receiving this punishment is already leniently pardoning you. Also, my palace Let me tell you, when you die, this palace will reveal your crimes to Xiaoyu's Sixth Palace, and the seven members of your mother's family will also be brought into the palace and beheaded!"

Hearing the queen's words, Liu Yue became more emotional, and she didn't know where the strength came from, but she broke free from the shackles of the two nuns, bowed down and kowtowed violently to the queen: "Your Majesty, I beg you not to drag the servant's mother's family. ! The servant is only doing this to ensure the safety of the family. I hope the empress will forgive me who is willing to instruct the servant! The slave's life is not a pity, please forgive the servant's family!"

The queen nodded and moved a little closer to her, ordering the executioner to lift up Liu Yue who had a broken foot, and put her ears against Liu Yue's lips and teeth, and only after Liu Yue spit out a name did she look up and stare at Liu Yue with a smile , leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Thank you for telling me this, but now this crime can only be borne by you alone, and your family, I will not forgive you."

Liu Yue yelled at the queen like crazy: "You promised me! You are respected as a queen, how can you go back on your word! You"

The queen flicked her sleeves, raised her slender eyebrows, and said calmly: "I nod my head just to hear you tell the truth, when did I promise you what did you do?" The phrase 'hands-on'.

After finishing the words, Liu Yue couldn't allow her to say any more, and hot lead water had already been poured into her mouth.
