Harem for a living

Chapter 32

"I called you here today to let you see the consequences of murdering the emperor's heir!" The queen was sitting in the courtyard, and the chair was moved out of Concubine Yang's room, and the chair cover on it was embroidered with gorgeous red plums. , looked very festive, but at the moment, it was a little more ironic.

The queen didn't talk nonsense, as soon as she waved her hand, a servant escorted the two of them over.Liu Xiurong, who was standing behind Wang Xiuyi, didn't look very well at first, but when he saw the two people clearly, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

It's just that the queen didn't give her a chance to speak, and didn't even give her a look.Xinlan and Wangxiang who were beside the queen came over, and quickly blocked Liu Xiurong's mouth.

"Start the execution." These four words, the queen said plainly, without shouting or fluctuating, made people tremble even more.The servant who was escorting the two maids moved very simply. Hearing the queen's order, the four of them worked together and quickly pushed the two maids to the ground.

Then, four servants came out from the side, all holding wooden sticks with thick wrists, they stepped forward without saying a word, stood on the left and right, and began to beat the maid on the ground at the same time.He didn't even count, just kept typing in silence.

The sound of the stick falling on the body was very dull, one by one, like thunder beating on the heart.Cuilan and Cuizhu, who were gagged at first, were still struggling violently, but how could their strength surpass the strong servant?Within two strokes, they were pressed so hard that they couldn't even move.

With red marks appearing on their clothes, Liu Xiurong's complexion became paler, and now it was a little translucent.After staring blankly at the two servant girls who were beaten for a while, she suddenly struggled hard.

Seeing Liu Xiurong not moving, Xinlan and Wangxiang relaxed their vigilance, so Liu Xiurong struggled away.After Liu Xiurong broke free, he got up and rushed to the nearest Cuilan.He yelled sadly: "Why? Why? Empress, what did they do, why did you beat them?"

"Liu Xiurong, don't you know what they did?" The queen looked at Liu Xiurong calmly, and ordered someone to pull her away.Liu Xiurong struggled vigorously, lying on Cuilan's body unwilling to leave, turned her head and shook her head with tears all over her face: "I don't understand, I don't know either, Cuilan and Aster have served my concubine for so many years, I beg the empress to spare my life!"

"Liu Xiurong, you have been collecting sweet-scented osmanthus pollen since the hidden mansion, dried it secretly, and then brought it into the palace for today, right?" Seeing that Liu Xiurong refused to let go, the queen simply said clearly: "That morning, you went out It was indeed Cuilan that I brought with you, but Cuizhu also went out with her. Cuilan took the opportunity to send shortbread to Jingren Palace, and Cuizhu followed you to Yongshou Palace."

"It's only a few steps from Yanxi Palace to Jingren Palace. Cuilan walked quickly. When you reached the gate of Jingren Palace, Cuilan had already entered. Then, you and Cuizhu walked to Kunning Waiting at the door, Cuilan came out of Jingren Palace and went directly to you, Cuizhu used the excuse of looking for a hairpin to return to Yanxi Palace immediately. As long as you wait for less than half a stick of incense, you will become Cui Lan. It's time for Lan and Cuizhu to exchange."

The queen looked at Liu Xiurong coldly, and she spoke very clearly.In this way, it was as if Liu Xiurong was surrounded by Cuilan from the beginning to the end after going out.Because of the distance between Yanxi Palace and Jingren Palace, Cuilan will not be out of breath from Yanxi Palace to Jingren Palace.And Cuizhu ran back and forth twice, as long as he was careful not to be seen by others, he would never be exposed.

Liu Xiurong listened to the queen's words in a daze, taking advantage of this opportunity, two servants came over and dragged Liu Xiurong away.Cuilan and Cuizhu's punishment then began, and the dull voice was watched in everyone's heart again.

While hitting, Liu Xiurong suddenly had a look of despair on his face.He raised his head and yelled at Concubine Yang's room, "Yang Yu'er! You bastard! You also feel the feeling of losing your child now, right? Hahaha, I just want to get rid of your child! I just want to let your child die!" The child pays for my child's life!"

The queen didn't stop her, and let Liu Xiurong yell. Liu Xiurong seemed to be insane, but she didn't struggle. She just sat on the ground and talked to herself, with a very weird smirk on her face: "My child, did you see that?" Is it? Mother has avenged you! You have someone to accompany you underground, and you will never be alone again."

Then he laughed loudly again: "Haha, Concubine Yang Gui, you still have today. When you let that bitch Mo Xiang push me down and let my child die, you must have never thought that you still have today, right?"

Liu Xiurong was crying and laughing, but it didn't affect Cuilan and Cuizhu who were beaten with sticks at all. It didn't take long for Cuilan and Cuizhu's blood to spread to the side.

Chen Manrou heard Liu Xiurong's screaming and cursing in her ears, and seeing the blood-red marks in her eyes, she felt her heart tense up and down.She knows that in this harem, it's all about life, winning is life, and losing is life.But she had never seen a human life disappear before her eyes like this.

She has always known that although the era she travels through is fictional, it is also an ancient era, and the lives of slaves were never considered a major event.But she grew up in a honey pot and never faced such a scene directly.

Even in modern times, she has never even seen a car accident.Can the pictures on the Internet compare with this real scene?

She has never known so clearly like now that the place she is in is a cage called the harem.She has never been as clear as she is at this moment, knowing that there is no room for soft-heartedness in this place.

It is absolutely impossible to protect yourself by being bright and wise. If you don’t harm others, they will harm you.What's more, if you want children and want to protect your own children, you have to walk a bloody road, not for yourself, but also for your own children.

Gradually, Cuilan and Cuizhu's bodies stopped convulsing, and they never moved again. Even if they were hit with a stick, they only made a dull sound, as if two pieces of clothes filled with cotton were thrown on the ground. Same.

"Okay, Liu Xiurong murdered the emperor's heir, took away his Xiurong title, and sent him to Yeting Palace today." The queen stood up indifferently, glanced at Liu Xiurong, and motioned for someone to come and drag the bodies of Cuilan and Cuizhu away.

Looking around again at the concubines below, the queen's eyes were obviously cold and stern: "I tell you, this harem, I allow you to compete for favor, allow you to bicker, allow you to vent your anger, but never allow you to harm the royal family." Heirs! If you don’t take the emperor’s heirs seriously, once you are found out, Yeting Palace will be your future residence. If it is serious, if you implicate your family, this palace will definitely not show mercy to you, understand?”

"Yes, Empress Empress, I understand." Concubine Shu was pale, but she was the first to react, saluted the empress, and replied a little weakly.The queen's face softened a little, and she looked at the people behind Concubine Shu and said, "Why don't you hurry up and help your empress to sit down? She is pregnant with a child, so you must not be negligent."

The two palace servants hurriedly responded with a panic, and hurried over to help Concubine Shu to sit down on the side.Concubine De smiled from behind and said: "Empress, don't worry, I understand, I will never be like Liu Xiu in the future...cough, I will never be like Liu Shi in the future."

The queen glanced at her, but did not speak.Concubine Liu looked up at Concubine Yang's room, and said with a smile: "It's been such a big meeting, and Concubine Yang hasn't made a sound yet. Could it be that she's scared?"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, then shook his head and said: "Looking at my memory, Concubine Yang Guifei has seen this scene before, and she probably won't be frightened, so she must be asleep. Empress, you Don't worry, in this harem, there is probably no one who dares not to take children seriously."

After Concubine Liu made her statement, it was Chen Manrou's turn.Chen Manrou originally lowered her head, but now she twisted her body hard, and when she raised her head, the people who were looking at her were taken aback. The Queen's brows could not help but frown on her cold face: "Chen Fei, what's wrong with you?"

"Woo... empress... empress, please forgive me, concubine, I have never seen such a thing, I was frightened for a while..." Chen Manrou was crying and hiccupping, telling everyone clearly that she Been crying for a while.

From the queen above to Concubine Liu in front, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.Isn't it just killing two court ladies?Who doesn't kill a few slaves every year?Concubine Chen is too timid, isn't she?
However, the Queen's reaction was quick, she twitched her lips and said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Chen is the only girl in the family, and she has been favored since she was a child. I have never seen such a thing. But, Concubine Chen, don't worry, in the future you As long as you don’t make mistakes, this kind of punishment will not be your turn.”

"Concubine, I understand, empress, don't worry, I will never make mistakes in the future." Chen Manrou cried because she had no sense of beauty, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously to wipe her tears. Fortunately, her nose was not runny, otherwise, it would be even more ugly. point.

The queen couldn't help being funny when she saw it, and sighed in her heart, she was still a child.However, there is also a little bit of envy, I have never seen such a thing, it can be seen how favored I am at home.

However, this is also good, since she has a pure heart and has never seen a struggle in the harem, so she probably won't cause any trouble in the harem in the future.

Thinking about it, the queen's voice softened a bit: "Okay, what happened today probably scared you too, so go back and rest for a few days, and forget about it after a while. If you can't sleep well at night, Ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some soothing prescriptions."

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager." Chen Manrou bowed to the empress politely with a bit of embarrassment on her face.Seeing that the Queen's eyes turned to Concubine Cheng, Chen Manrou quickly lowered her head again.

I don't know if Chen Manrou's tears spoiled the atmosphere, but the empress's lecture was much shorter after that, and after three or five sentences, everyone was dismissed on the spot, and she went into Concubine Yang's room to comfort Concubine Yang .

In the evening, the queen told the emperor how to deal with this matter, and said with a smile: "The emperor should really go to see Concubine Chen, she is young, and she is favored at home, probably never seen such a thing , I was actually frightened today, but you didn't see that crying face, they all turned into cats."

The emperor smiled slightly, and recalled Chen Manrou's appearance in his heart. He was indeed cute, so he nodded and said, "Really? Then I will go and have a look at another day. Zitong has worked hard these days, and I will reward you with some How are things? What does Zitong want?"

"Your Majesty, this concubine does not do these things for your reward." The queen said coquettishly, and twisted the emperor's waist casually, her movements were intimate and casual, and her tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Concubine is the emperor's Wife, it is my duty to take care of the emperor's harem, how can I ask for a reward from the emperor?"

"Okay, I said the wrong thing, Zitong, don't be upset." The emperor laughed loudly, stretched his arms around the queen's waist, bowed his head and kissed the queen's lips, then turned around and hugged the queen, and strode towards the bed .

The queen's face was even more shy, and it looked interesting under the lamp.The bed curtain came down, and rustling sounds came from inside. It didn't take long before there were more men's panting and women's moaning. The candles outside flickered, and the candles exploded, making the room even brighter.
