The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 90 Punishment ([-])

Wannao settled herself, and a calm smile appeared on her face: "The father-in-law is too famous. Wannai is no more than an ordinary and weak woman, how can she be so courageous? But relying on the power of the father-in-law, she is not afraid of evil spirits."

The corners of Aobai's mouth also raised upwards: "Father?" He shook his head, his eyes became sharper: "When I was in the mansion, the old man and Yide became relatives, and you were only seven years old at that time, how could the old man persuade you to speak up?" Saying that you are not willing to say that you are the foster father. Now it is like this? Is it because you want to see the old man's joke?"

Wan Yu didn't take it seriously, and smiled to herself: "What kind of jokes does foster father have? It's me and elder sister who are now the biggest joke in the Forbidden City."

Aobai's expression froze, and he stopped laughing: "The old man has fallen to such a state, how can that old turtle, Ye Bilong, get any better?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wan Yu with gloomy eyes: "It's just that the old man thought he was here. The person I love will be Yide, but I never thought it would be you."

Oboi struggled a few times with his wrists, and moved out with the iron chain embedded in the wall, the wall powder fell down rustlingly, half of Oboi's face was stained white, and he coughed for a while due to choking on the wall powder.

Wan Lai took a few steps forward, took out the juanzi from her sleeve and waved it, brushed off the wall powder on Oboi's face, and sighed: "Father-in-law is wise, he expected this early in the morning. Since the result is the same, elder sister did it with What does it matter if I do it?"

Aobai looked up and snorted coldly, and broke away from Wanyu's hand: "You two are too delusional to dream. This old man is in the sky prison, with eyeliner all over the inside and outside. You think you can bribe the jailer to get close to the old man's side, so then Can you get rid of the old man and save your Ama's life?"

"Father misunderstood, Wanyu didn't intend to take your life." Wanyu shook her head with a smile, and the necklace and pearl bells hanging from the hairpin made a 'ding-ding' sound: "Instead, they came to save you."

Aobai looked shocked at first, then sneered, and turned to contemptuously said: "Don't think that the emperor dotes on you a little, so you don't know which pheasant egg you are. If you can save the old man, tomorrow the east will rise and the sun will rise." It's going to rise from the south. You go, don't be an eyesore in front of the old man."

Although it was hot summer, the prison was cold and humid that day. Every time the two of them said a word, warm white air gushed out from between their mouths.Wan Yu couldn't help tightening her black cloak, and said in a calm tone, "It's not to save you from prison, but to free you from the sea of ​​suffering."

Aobai raised his eyebrows and sneered, turned his head away and didn't talk to Wanyu anymore.

Wan Yu ignored his behavior and said to herself: "Father really wants to live like this? You have forgotten that you are a warrior general who participated in the three battles of Pidao, Songjin, and Xichong. Li Zicheng's hero in troubled times was a loyal minister who fought against Dorgon and was loyal to the Qing Dynasty? You have devoted your life to the Qing Dynasty, shedding your blood and making great achievements in battle! You have lost your best years because of this, and now you are obsessed with authority , once a mistake becomes an eternal grudge, how do you face the world's reviling towards you?"

"The old man is not wrong, why is he so shameless to face the world?" Obai snorted, and said indignantly: "Without the old man, how could Xuan Ye be where he is today? The old man never thought of seeking to usurp the throne, it was he who treated him like a villain Old man, I am afraid of my prestige in the court, I want to get rid of it and hurry up!"

"How can the emperor let others sleep soundly? If you didn't enclose the land to harm the people, slaughter the loyal, self-willed, and have no emperor, how could you be in this situation?" Wan Yu's tone became more and more passionate: "Don't forget, the person you are dealing with is the emperor. , is the master of the world. Now that you are so powerful and sharp, how can you blame the emperor for not allowing you?"

Ao Bai was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I am not wrong, I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty, what is my crime?"

"So?" Wan Yu glanced at him, and said coldly: "So, in order to save your life, you stripped your clothes and exposed your scars in full view, and told the emperor how you saved Emperor Taizong back then? I want the emperor to know you How did you stay loyal to the Qing Dynasty? Do you think that the emperor left your life because of your illustrious military exploits and your heartfelt heart?"

She suddenly smiled, the smile was extremely frivolous, with a bit of sarcasm and disdain: "You are wrong, leaving you like this is just to make it a joke for all civil and military officials in the court, and to be vigilant. It is to let everyone know, even if Power is in the hands of Aixinjueluo Xuanye like you Oboi, isn't the power of life and death still in his hands?"

"Nizi is talking nonsense, do you think the old man will believe it?"

"Haven't you seen your criminal edict written by the emperor himself?" Wan Lai interrupted Oboi's words, her eyes met his, she shook her head and smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see it in this death row. But, Do you know what word the emperor used to replace your name in the criminal edict?"

Aobai remained silent, lowered his eyebrows and looked sad, Wan Yu said again: "'Manchuria's No. [-] Batulu'."

As soon as these words came out, Ao Biden couldn't stop laughing wildly.

That laughter pierced the lungs, after listening to it for a long time, it didn't seem like laughing, but it seemed to be crying.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Aobai kept repeating this sentence, he struggled, as if he wanted to knock off the top of the prison.

That's right, the title of "Manchuria's No. [-] Hero" who was once well-known in the world has now become the laughing stock of people before and after. How can a person who has been strong all his life accept such humiliation?

Talking like this scares him more than killing him.

Besides, this life was indeed begged by him in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, crying bitterly on his knees.

What was crying at that time was his sincerity to Daqing, but he never thought that in the eyes of others, this was just a sympathetic excuse for Emperor Bo to die if he refused.

People say that gossip is a knife to kill, and what Wannai said just killed Oboi's heart.

But Aobai didn't know, where did the emperor personally draw up his criminal edict?

It was just fabricated by Wan Yu out of thin air.

Seeing him behaving like a madman, Wanyu sneered and said, "Father's life is well-preserved, but in the future, I'm afraid he will be accompanied by this chain and ice wall day and night. Day after day after day, you will eventually become a You are a stinky walking corpse. In the past, you were decisive in killing and killing in the previous dynasty, but now even the jailers who are in the bottom rank can dictate to you. Are you willing?"

"Don't think that this old man doesn't know what you're planning." Oboi stopped his madness for a moment, and stared at Wan Yu with fixed brows, and said: "You say that, but you want to force this old man to die, and give you, Ah Ma, freedom!"

"Give me back my freedom, Ama?" Wanyu sneered again and again, and couldn't help but take a few steps back: "What about the freedom of your wives, children, and siblings? You don't want any of them?"

She pointed to the other end of the sky prison, raised her eyebrows and said: "Now the [-] people in Guerjia Mansion are all imprisoned here. However, the sky prison is long, and even though the adoptive father and his family are still under the same roof, they may be dead We will never see each other again."

Seeing that the light in Oboi's eyes was gradually dimming, she took two steps forward and sprinkled the 'Zhenxin Powder' powder on Oboi's palm, and then whispered in his ear: "This is the medicine that can get you out of the sea of ​​suffering." The elixir is also the elixir that can save people's lives. But you are not the one who 'crossed' and 'saved'."

After saying that, Wanyu knelt on the ground, spread her hands vertically forward, and bowed three times to Ao Bai and kowtowed nine times.

After the ceremony, she got up and turned her head, without looking at Ao Bai again, she went straight out of the cell.

When she got out of the prison, Wanyan raised her eyes and saw the crows in the palace swarming and hovering over the prison, the dark cloud seemed to be a desolate dark cloud covering the bright moon.

Old crows landed in groups on the dark old tree stumps, forming a desolate posture.

The guards stationed outside the gate closed the black iron gate of the prison heavily, and the old crow flew in all directions with a startled voice, and occasionally a black feather fluttered down with the wind, Wan Yu stretched out her hand and held it in her hand.

She sighed slightly, turned her head and took a deep look at the rusty iron door, and the darkness beyond her sight.

Then he lifted the pinch of feathers in his hand, and walked into the distance with a cold expression.
