Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 76 The real master

Shuxing's hundred whips were finally finished.

This time she didn't faint again, she just hung her head dyingly, her eyes could only be opened a crack, she was still trying to tilt her head to this side, looking at Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan walked over slowly: "Do you hate me?"

Shuxing shook his head with difficulty.

Su Qingyuan sneered, and told the little eunuch: "Go and call an imperial doctor to take a look. She is not allowed to treat her wounds, but she is not allowed to die. After seeing it, send it to Yeting Palace, and tell the nuns to live well." 'Take care' of her. I will often think of going to Ye Ting Palace to see her, no matter when I go, she must have new wounds on her body - but if she dies, the people who 'look after' her will be buried with her ,understand?"

The little eunuch looked very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say 'I don't understand'.

Su Qingyuan stared at Shu Xing's face for a while, then added calmly: "Of course, if Miss Shu Xing is willing to tell who her master is, she won't have to suffer any further crimes."

At this time, Su Qingluan had already been rescued awake.Hearing Su Qingyuan's words, she pressed her back tightly against the wall, trembling all over.

Shuxing tried his best to widen his eyes, weeping unceasingly.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, unwilling to see her bruises all over her body: "Why are you bothering? You have suffered so much, has your master ever cared about you?"

Shuxing lowered his head and did not speak.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that she no longer has the energy to speak.

The imperial physician came, Su Qingyuan asked someone to put Shuxing down, and threw it to the imperial physician for examination.

In the side hall, Su Qingluan and a group of court ladies and eunuchs were still waiting in fear.

Su Qingyuan walked back slowly, her eyes rested on Su Qingluan leisurely: "Did it scare you?"

Su Qingluan said shyly: "She has served you for so many years, why are you so cruel..."

Su Qingyuan sat down on the chair again, took the tea handed over by the little eunuch, and quietly watched the tea leaves in the water float up and down.

Such silence is more terrifying than harsh reprimands.

Su Qingluan supported her body, but she still couldn't stop sliding on the ground.

It wasn't until the bowl of tea was drained that Su Qingyuan slowly raised her head, and said in a deep voice, "It's because Shuxing has served me for so long that I can't tolerate betrayal. Qingluan, put away your kindness, Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't take my anger out on you—I heard that the thing was found under your bed?"

"No, it's not me... I really don't know anything!" Su Qingluan immediately panicked.

Su Qingyuan smiled lightly and declined to comment.

Su Qingluan knelt down slowly, with tears streaming down her face: "Sister, I did do something wrong, but I really didn't know what happened today! I didn't know there was something under my bed until Father-in-law Xiaoluzi found it out." ...But I don't know what's in that box at all! I never thought of really hurting you—you are my own sister!"

Su Qingyuan looked at her and said calmly: "Concubine Shu, get up quickly. Last time you came back from the underground palace, you fell into a coma for six or seven days before barely recovering your life. Your body is so weak, why do you kneel up and down?" of?"

"I don't know, I really don't know..." Su Qingluan knelt on the ground and refused to get up, but kept crying and shaking her head.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help laughing.

What does this girl "don't know"?

I don't know if the so-called "drug" that day was deadly and highly poisonous, or did she not know that Shuxing put something good under her bed?
Maybe they don't even know.This "kind" girl will not allow herself to be associated with those dirty things.

Su Qingyuan stood up slowly, and smiled: "Of course Concubine Shu doesn't need to know what the people below are doing. It's just that in this palace, laxity is also a serious crime, but it's not that the words 'don't know' can be excused." Yes. The slaves around Concubine Shu are negligent and poorly served, Yanxi Palace can't tolerate it anymore. Xiao Luzi, please go back and tell the manager that this group of people should be sent to Yeting Palace."

"But Concubine Shu..." Xiao Luzi was a little embarrassed.

Su Qingyuan said indifferently: "Concubine Shu is pregnant, so of course she can't be left alone to serve her. Then ask the Inner Court Secretary to pick some well-behaved and sensible girls over here, don't neglect her."

"Slave understands!" Xiaoluzi immediately understood.

Now, only Aunt Nian is left.

Su Qingyuan walked slowly in front of her and raised her hand.

Aunt Nian didn't go crazy, she just stared at her quietly with her eyes wide open.

Su Qingyuan looked at that face, the more she looked at it, the more awkward she felt.

After a while, she said coldly: "Compared to Yanxi Palace, you are more suspicious."

"Kill him!" Aunt Nian said in a daze.

Su Qingyuan hooked the corners of her lips: "That's right, this time, you were almost able to kill him."

Aunt Nian laughed "hehe".

Su Qingyuan raised her slap, and slapped her across the face with a "slap": "Don't think that you can escape guilt by pretending to be crazy and stupid. I want to kill you today, and no one can stop me!"

"Mother, I miss my aunt..." Xiao Luzi hesitated to speak.

Su Qingyuan glanced at him, and continued to sneer: "Shu Xing's teeth are clenched, and he would rather die than confess you. So this time, you can have nothing to worry about."

Aunt Nian's gaze was still peaceful, without any waves.

Su Qingyuan stared at her for a long time, and finally turned her back: "Don't be too happy. Last time about Yingyue Lake, several eunuchs have already confessed. You will die a hundred times based on that one crime alone. It’s not too much! The emperor has been thinking of your kindness in the past, so I don’t want to punish you too much—seventy sticks, expel you from the palace!”

"Empress Dowager, seventy sticks, isn't it too heavy? Aunt Nian is old, I'm afraid she can't bear it!" A young eunuch next to him immediately knelt down and interceded.

Su Qingyuan's face darkened, "You can share twenty for her!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The little eunuch was overjoyed.

Su Qingyuan's complexion immediately turned ugly.

There were many little eunuchs with no winks, and after a while, four or five knelt down: "The slaves are willing to help Aunt Nian to share the burden of the stick!"

Looking at Su Qingyuan's face, Xiao Luzi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he hurriedly kicked a few young eunuchs on the backs beside him: "Stupid thing! Aunt Nian deserves punishment for her crime, so it's your turn to replace her!"

Su Qingyuan looked solemn and pondered for a long time.

Aunt Nian just looked at her fixedly.

After a long time, Su Qingyuan hooked the corners of her lips: "Xiao Luzi, what are you kicking them for? They are a bunch of good boys who value love and righteousness--how about this, read my aunt's stick for fifty, and kneel now How many are there, twenty each, how about it?"

The few young eunuchs who knelt down later looked disappointed.

Su Qingyuan added coldly: "After the punishment, they will be expelled from the palace together! A slave who can't even recognize who his master is will not stay in the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, the young eunuchs panicked completely.

It must be known that there is still a way for court ladies to survive when they leave the palace, but eunuchs are disabled people. After leaving the palace, they are homeless, jobless, and have no skills. It is extremely difficult to make a living.

Xiao Luzi knew that Su Qingyuan was angry, so he didn't dare to persuade her, he only complained that the little eunuchs didn't wink.

Aunt Nian suddenly broke free from the little eunuch's hand, and rushed to Su Qingyuan: "You hit me! Just hit me!"

"Why, aren't you pretending to be crazy?" Su Qingyuan looked at her mockingly.

Aunt Nian's expression was complicated, she hesitated to speak.

"Execute immediately!" Su Qingyuan sat down and ordered sharply.

The people she brought here this time were not too many, and more than half of them were going to be boarded, so they had to line up and come one by one.

Standing behind Su Qingyuan, Xiao Luzi grinned in fright when he heard the wailing in the courtyard.

Su Qingyuan turned her head and looked at him: "Do you think that Aunt Nian is too scary?"

Xiao Luzi thought for a while, then said embarrassingly, "Aunt Nian did not intentionally invite people to buy people's hearts, nor did she incite others to do evil, it's just that the slaves have been in the palace for a long time, and they always have to believe in something in order to survive... "

Su Qingyuan's expression was solemn: "That's what makes it terrible! She didn't do anything, but she made so many people willing to be beaten for her, and even so many people were willing to help her... murder my child."

Xiaoluzi's face changed slightly.

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and said to herself: "The court ladies and eunuchs need a thought in their hearts. They can believe in God, Buddha, or their master. Why should they trust a crazy old palace lady? This matter must not be taken lightly. !"

The boards of the little eunuchs were quickly finished, and it was Aunt Nian's turn.

She didn't make a fuss, and lay down on the stool where she was beaten.

Xiao Luzi suddenly asked: "I'm afraid they may not know how to release water, should we keep an eye on it?"

"Forget it," Su Qingyuan smiled wryly, "Let them go."

This time, the voice was much softer than before. After hitting her more than 20 times, Aunt Nian didn't even say a word.

Su Qingyuan lowered her voice, and asked Xiaoluzi, "Is there any dungeon in the palace?"

Xiaoluzi hurriedly said: "There are Yangju halls."

Su Qingyuan nodded: "Secretly lock up Aunt Nian and the young eunuchs who were beaten just now, and say to the outside world that they have been expelled from the palace, so don't let the news out."

Xiao Luzi hurriedly agreed, and Su Qingyuan stood up, and said with a smile to Su Qingluan: "Be healthy, and before dinner, the Inner Court will pick a few sensible servants and send them to you."

Su Qingluan stared at her blankly, without answering.

Su Qingyuan didn't say anything more, she went out to look at Aunt Nian who was being beaten, and then returned to the Yangju Hall exhausted.

When Lu Li saw her, he immediately smiled, "Are you tired? Come here and lie down!"

Su Qingyuan obediently climbed onto the bed, and rubbed against his arm.

Lu Li grabbed her two hands and stuffed them under the blanket, sighing, "Why don't you use a hand stove outside? Fingers are so cold!"

"Forget." Su Qingyuan sniffed and said sullenly.

Lu Li sighed: "Xiao Luzi is really ignorant, I should tell Luoxia to follow you."

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "In the past, Shuxing helped me take care of these things."

Lu Li didn't know how to comfort her, so he rubbed her shoulder vigorously.

Su Qingyuan hugged his arm and said sullenly: "I beat Shuxing half to death, but she still felt that she was not wrong. She said she was doing it for my own good... I really don't understand."

"It's just a fool, you don't have to take it too seriously." Lu Li hugged her painfully.

Su Qingyuan shook her head and smiled wryly: "I can't ignore it—Shu Xing should be very clear about what she did to me, but she still insists on her own opinion and never repents. Is it really my fault? ? She started to harm me when I was still in the General's Mansion. At that time... What did I do wrong? "

"A Yuan, go to sleep first, everything will be fine when you wake up." Lu Li sighed and wrapped her in his arms.

Su Qingyuan still shook her head: "There is one more thing—I think she is more and more scary when I read my aunt! All the eunuchs and maids in this palace believe in her, respect her, and are willing to be driven by her. How can this be a court lady? She is more like the master of the palace than us! Before, she could order eunuchs to destroy the pavilion in Yingyue Pond to harm me, and of course she can order others to poison and set fire... How can I rest assured!"

Lu Li became anxious, turned over and pressed her down: "A Yuan, leave this matter to Duan Ran and Xiao Luzi to investigate, don't worry about it, okay?"

Su Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes, and yelled angrily: "So you can move? I thought you were paralyzed! Since you are not paralyzed, why didn't you check it yourself, and pushed the whole thing onto me? "

"I explained it to you..." Lu Li hastily let her go.

Su Qingyuan stared and said: "You are obviously lazy!"

Lu Li smiled mischievously: "These things are not too urgent, it's okay to be lazy for a few days! Didn't you ask people to lock up Aunt Nian and Shu Xing?"

Su Qingyuan looked at him, and sighed: "I'm afraid that if I miss a step, they will have some conspiracy coming out of some shady place... Since you are not worried, I won't bother with it. "

"Take a break." Lu Li patted her on the back and said softly.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, but she couldn't calm down at all.

There are a few things that I can't figure out.

She thinks that Aunt Nian is the most terrifying person, but Shuxing and Aunt Nian did not know each other before she entered the palace, so the forged letter still doesn't make sense!
If Qingluan——

Qingluan read a lot, could it be a coincidence that she learned some witchcraft from ancient books?
But Qingluan had no reason to murder Lu Li, unless it was his father...

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Although Su Qingyuan had already made up a plan in her heart, she still couldn't restrain the ups and downs of her heart at this moment.

"A Yuan." Lu Li put his arms around Su Qingyuan's shoulders and kissed her forehead.

Su Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Lu Li sighed: "You can't calm down, how can you rest? You've exhausted your energy for my affairs these two days, if you continue to waste it, you can bear it, our child..."

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here!" Luoxia shouted from outside.

Su Qingyuan's expression changed, and she was about to get up immediately.

Lu Li's arms tightened, and he turned half of his body to hold her down: "Don't leave, my slave won't be able to stop her!"

"It's no wonder it can be stopped!" Su Qingyuan pushed him away forcefully and sat up.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Princess Jingmin rushed in.

Su Qingyuan stood up and looked at her coldly.

Princess Jingmin was slightly taken aback, and reluctantly bowed: "The Empress Dowager!"

Su Qingyuan glanced at her, and said in a deep voice: "I remember I told you not to run to the Yangju Hall casually!"

"You told us not to come over, but you are here to accompany the emperor's brother all day long - it's not fair!" Princess Jingmin held her head high, with a stubborn expression on her face.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "It seems that your nanny still can't control you!"

Princess Jingmin held her head up, and laughed with a "chi": "You mean the woman in charge of Yuxiu Palace? She is busy squatting in the latrine right now! I fed her some crotons, who It's disgusting to tell her to be in charge of things! I'm a concubine, so it's not her turn to gossip about what I want to do!"

"Very good - the imperial concubine's prestige is very great!" Su Qingyuan sneered and sat down.

Princess Jingmin ignored her anger, walked past her, and ran to Lu Li's bed.

Lu Li lay down with his eyes closed, motionless.

"Brother Emperor!" Princess Jingmin grabbed Lu Li's hand and shook it vigorously.

Su Qingyuan sat on the teacher's chair beside the bed and looked at her, her face sinking like water.

"Brother Emperor, why don't you get up and play with me!" Princess Jingmin's hand was quite strong, and with a strong tug, she pulled Lu Li up.

But as soon as she let go, Lu Li fell down again, limp as if he had no bones.

"What's going on here!" Princess Jingmin was terrified, turned around and asked Su Qingyuan sharply.

Su Qingyuan looked at her calmly: "As you can see."

Princess Jingmin's eyes immediately turned red: "Why isn't the emperor awake? He said that as long as I enter the palace, he will accompany me every day, but now I have been in the palace for two days... Is he sick? "

Su Qingyuan leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes wearily.

"Tell me! Is the emperor's brother sick? Did you make him sick?" Princess Jingmin rushed over angrily.

Su Qingyuan looked up at the door and asked: "Who is following the imperial concubine? And who is guarding the door? Come in for me!"

Luoxia, Xiaoliangzi and some unknown eunuchs and maids entered the door with their heads down, but they dared not turn around the screen.

Su Qingyuan glanced at them through the screen, and said in a deep voice: "The slaves around the noble concubine can't persuade the master's words and deeds, and encourage the master to violate the palace rules and trespass into the foster house, fine twenty cheeks, and withhold one month's bonus! If there is a repeat offence, the punishment will be doubled!"

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, servants..." A little maid raised her head, trying to defend herself.

Luo Xia shouted sharply: "How can you speak in front of the Queen Mother!"

Princess Jingmin stomped her feet angrily: "There is no slave to speak, what about me? If you punish me, you have to ask me, right?"

Su Qingyuan said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't forget you! The noble concubine ignored the palace rules and acted recklessly. She was confined for a month, just to serve as a warning to others!"

"You...you bully me like this, the emperor brother will not spare you!" Princess Jingmin turned pale with anger.

Su Qingyuan turned her head to look at her, and lowered her voice slightly: "That's only if he can wake up!"

"What do you mean by that?" Princess Jingmin was terrified.

At this time, the maids and eunuchs brought by Yuxiu Palace had been dragged down and beaten, Su Qingyuan stared coldly at Princess Jingmin: "Do you think I am willing to stop you? Now that the emperor is unconscious, I only dare He announced that he had a rash on his face—do you know that once the truth gets out, there will be chaos in the world! You brought so many people in rashly today, how do I deal with it? Kill you all to silence them? "

"I didn't do it on purpose... I thought it was your bad intentions that prevented me from seeing the emperor's brother..." Princess Jingmin said aggrievedly with red eyes.

Su Qingyuan sighed, and patted the back of her hand: "I know you didn't do it on purpose, but you should change your reckless temper! Every step of the way in the palace, you think it's your own. at home?"

Princess Jingmin lowered her head aggrievedly, and said after a long time: "The emperor brother said that this will be my home from now on."

Su Qingyuan glanced coldly at the bed, and said tauntingly, "Do you believe what he said? Men are reliable, and pigs can climb trees! Remember—this ghostly place is not anyone's home, it's just a beautiful building. It's just a prison!"

Princess Jingmin bowed her head obediently to be scolded, and did not dare to say more.

Lu Li who was lying on the bed couldn't help shivering, but luckily no one saw him.

After a while, Xiao Liangzi came in and said that the beating was over, Su Qingyuan said lightly: "The noble concubine should go back to Yuxiu Palace - remember to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and accept your petty temper! After the emperor recovers, he will naturally Go find you, you don't have to run around chasing him, making people laugh!"

Princess Jingmin bowed her head and saluted, and led a group of little eunuchs and maids with swollen faces back out sullenly.

Su Qingyuan went back to the bed and lifted Lu Li up: "You are lazy! Your imperial concubine is here, and you still haven't talked to her properly, and you pretended to be dead and threw her to me! You are not afraid of me Call someone to beat her?"

"If she annoys you, of course you can hit her." Lu Li smiled, put his arms on Su Qingyuan's shoulders, and looked at her with a smile.

Su Qingyuan avoided his gaze and lowered her head.

Lu Li reminded her with a smile: "You haven't finished your work yet! The servants of the Yangju Palace neglected their duties and let the idlers in. This is a serious crime!"

Su Qingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "Your slave, of course you should deal with it yourself! You are not dead, so should I do it for you?"

"My slave is also your slave, so of course you should deal with it." Lu Li still smiled.

Su Qingyuan shrank into his arms and said in a muffled voice, "I'm tired, don't worry!"

Seeing this, Lu Li had no choice but to hug her and raised his head.

At this time, Xiao Liangzi kowtowed outside to plead guilty: "I am willing to be punished!"

Su Qingyuan said coolly: "What punishment do you receive? The ones you let in are not 'idlers and others', but imperial concubines and empresses!"

Xiao Liangzi didn't dare to speak, but Lu Li tapped Su Qingyuan's forehead with his fingertips: "Little vinegar jar!"

Su Qingyuan raised her head and stared at him angrily.

Lu Li said coldly to the outside: "Go and receive the punishment yourself! If there is a next time, I will never let you down!"

Su Qingyuan flattened her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"What? Are you not satisfied with the result?" Lu Li looked at her amusedly.

Su Qingyuan said in a muffled voice: "It's nothing, I just remembered the first time I entered the Yangju Palace..."

Thinking of what happened at that time, she couldn't help but feel a little angry - she was so honest and responsible at the beginning, but the servants of the Yangju Palace looked at people with their nostrils; now Princess Jingmin broke in all the way, but she can go smoothly broke into the inner hall!

It seems that people really still have a little temper!
Hearing her words, Lu Li narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "You mentioned that time several times, don't tell me - you miss it?"
