imperial concubine

Chapter 199 Cruel officials and severe punishment
Su Wan's heart was shocked, and then she cried out inwardly.I just thought about messing up this matter first, but forgot to make up for this loophole before. If I can't get back now, I'm afraid it will be enough for me in a while!

Looking at the Queen's gaze, Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is just the words of Her Royal Highness's family, and it cannot be trusted. What's more, the threat of death is still there, so how can I have the ability to take advantage of the fisherman?" ?”

Hearing Su Wan's words, the empress nodded involuntarily.That's right, now there are only two big powers in the harem, myself and Concubine Shu, even if both myself and Concubine Shu are hurt, it is definitely not something other people can take care of.

Seeing the queen hesitated again, Yun Jingya gave Su Wan a hard look, and then said to the queen: "Mother, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Some things happen before it's too late, so it's better to take precautions early."

The Queen's eyes narrowed slightly.Yun Jingya's words were undoubtedly alluding to the prince's poisoning.If the empress had taken precautions, with the current situation in the harem, the prince would definitely not suffer any damage.On the contrary, the queen can take the opportunity to suppress dissidents wantonly.

Seeing the empress lost in thought, Su Wan knew that she was still hesitating, so she immediately said: "Empress Empress, Su Wan dares to swear to Empress that if Su Wan did what happened to the East Palace, Su Wan will never be able to live forever." Superborn!"

For Su Wan, in fact, she no longer cared about her ending.I thought that after rebirth, the previous rebellion could be overthrown in one fell swoop, but I didn't want to be forced by the situation to have to admit the thief as my father.Now Su Wan has nothing in her heart but revenge.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Yun Jingya frowned and said, "Mother, such an easy swearing cannot be believed. Su Wan has always been extremely intelligent, and it's hard to say if she has thought of a plan to regain the hearts of the people after we are all hurt and suppress us all. .”

Although Yun Jingya was very reluctant to admit it, she had to admit that Su Wan was better than her in terms of poetry, poetry, governance, and strategy.Treating Su Wan courteously before was a helpless solution, but now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to push Su Wan to a desperate situation, making her unable to turn over forever, so that he can realize his wish.

Yun Jingya's words reminded the queen of all the legends about Su Wan that were circulated in the market. She played the piano to win the hairpin, and made a poem with a cup of wine. After that, she only met the fourth prince once, and she was fascinated by the fourth prince. She directly asked Emperor Chongwen for help. The imperial decree married her into the palace.

So many kinds, and so on.Thinking of this, the queen said coldly to Su Wan: "Su Wan, I will give you another chance. If you obediently hand over the antidote at this time, I will spare you, otherwise I will definitely let you die. here!"

Hearing what the queen said, Su Wan smiled wryly in her heart. She never thought that she would still not be able to escape this catastrophe in the end.After thinking about it again, Yun Jingya is the empress's own child, and she and the crown prince are siblings, so what she said is naturally much more credible than what she said.

Thinking of this, Su Wan smiled miserably and said to the queen: "Empress, Su Wan knows that you don't believe me. But the thing you are looking for is really not with me, please forgive me this time!"

At this juncture, Su Wan still has not given up on her own ideas. If she can get the empress to soften her heart, then not only will she not have to suffer the crimes of tonight, but she can also easily fish in troubled waters. Wouldn't it be extremely happy!
The queen has been in charge of the sixth house for the last year, of course she will not soften her heart just because Su Wan begged for mercy. She looked at Su Wan with a sneer and said, "Su Wan, it seems that you are really tough. You haven't uttered a single word until now. It seems that you I'm not afraid of death!"

Now that the queen believed Yun Jingya's words, she had to treat Su Wan as the mastermind, at least as an accomplice, otherwise she would not be able to gain a foothold at all.That's why she threatened Su Wan again and again but didn't really use torture.

Hearing the Queen's words, Su Wan quickly said: "Your Majesty, Su Wan's death is not a pity, but I just don't want to hurt Your Majesty. If Su Wan dies in prison, no matter how many excuses you have, Your Majesty will never be able to explain it to Your Majesty!"

Although Su Wan said that he was thinking of the queen, in fact, every sentence was threatening the queen.The dignified four princes and concubines were imprisoned for a trumped-up crime, and the empress would certainly not be able to escape a comment about her lack of virtue.

When the queen heard Su Wan's words, she frowned slightly. It was obvious that Su Wan had spoken to her heart.But then the queen said with a sly smile: "Could it be that, do you think that if you are forced to come down, this palace will have nothing to do with you?"

If His Majesty is still in the imperial city at this time, the Empress will naturally restrain herself a bit.But now that His Majesty is leaving Beijing, Yun Jingya is holding the power of supervising the country. In such a situation, as long as the Queen doesn't kill Su Wan, everything will be over.

Su Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of what the queen wanted to do.She had a wry smile on her face, thinking that she would not be able to escape this catastrophe after all, "Of course the empress has no other means. It's just that Su Wan really doesn't know, even if the empress tortures Su Wan."

Now in the deep palace, the queen is the biggest. Although Su Wan cannot be killed, there are many other ways.You know, the people who are most proficient in punishment in this world are probably the servants in the palace.The punishment they could think of would be to peel off a layer of skin even for an Arhat made of iron, let alone a flesh and blood body like Su Wan?
Hearing Su Wan's words, Yun Jingya sneered and said: "People are bitter insects, you can't beat them, and people are wood carvings, you can't beat them! I have talked nicely to you for a long time, but you are still stubborn. I want to see See, is it your mouth or your bones that are hard!"

After saying this, Yun Jingya went out and called a few eunuchs to come in, and the queen just looked at her bladder coldly.Not long after, two thin eunuchs came in from the door and knelt in front of the queen to pay their respects.

The queen glanced at them indifferently, and then said: "I want to ask the fourth concubine something, but she doesn't want to say it. I wonder if you two have the ability to pick something out of the concubine's mouth? If you do Well done, I have a reward from the palace."

The words were very relaxed, as if chatting with them normally.But the content of it made the two of them eclipse.When the two of them were on duty today, they would never have imagined that such a big event would involve the two of them.

So the two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in their mouths: "The empress is joking. You can't even ask the empress from the mouth of the fourth prince and concubine. How can the younger ones ask it? The younger ones naturally ask. won't come out."

Things in the deep palace are always unpredictable.Although the fourth prince and concubine is already a prisoner today, when His Majesty returns to Beijing in the coming day, the fourth prince will also come back?When the time comes, the queen will naturally remain unmoved, but what about the two of us?At that time, the fourth prince and concubine definitely hated herself for being a shareholder, and if she couldn't seek revenge from the queen, she would naturally treat herself as a punching bag.

Seeing the two kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, the Queen snorted coldly and said, "I know what you two are worried about. Tonight, you two just let go and do whatever you want. If something happens in the future, I will bear it all by myself." !"

After being immersed in the palace for so many years, the queen knew it without looking. These two people must be afraid of Su Wan's revenge in the future, so they reasoned that they couldn't find out.Now that they have spoken, the two of them must not dare to continue to refuse.

When the two heard the queen's words, they glanced at each other, then nodded vigorously, and said in unison: "Since the empress empress trusts the young one so much, let the young one give it a try!"

Now that the queen has already said such a thing, it's okay for him to be ignorant of flattery.If he really wanted to decline again, then it might not be the fourth prince and concubine who would be punished, but the two of himself.

Up to now, the two young eunuchs have no way to turn back, so they can only bite the bullet and go on.After they kowtowed, one of the eunuchs asked, "Empress, do you want to see the wound or not?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, Su Wan's heart shuddered, it's too bad, it's going to be miserable for her.These two must be masters in extorting confessions by torture, otherwise they would never have asked the queen if they wanted to see the wound or not.

The queen glanced at Su Wan lightly, saw that Su Wan's face was pale and bloodless, and wanted to scare her, so she asked, "I don't know what to say when you see the injury, and what to say if you don't see the injury? Is there something in it?" What's the difference?"

The queen has stayed in the deep palace for so many years, so she naturally knows the difference.It's just that this time it was to scare Su Wan, so I asked it on purpose.Although the Queen hadn't witnessed the execution before, she was very clear about the way.

The queen overheard the queen's question, knelt down and said: "Return to the empress, if there is an injury, it will leave scars on the flesh of the body, if there is no injury, it will be a punishment that will not leave scars."

Every step in the harem is frightening, if one step is wrong, there may be a catastrophe.But sometimes there is a need to use punishment, so when forced to do so, this punishment without injury is born out of nowhere, and everyone in the palace will know this trick for a while.

Hearing the eunuch's words, Su Wan quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't use torture. Su Wan really doesn't know anything, so please forgive me this time. When I have clues in the future, Su Wan will definitely send you to Kunning Palace go."

Although Su Wan was a human being in two lifetimes, in her previous life she was the stunning and beautiful eldest princess. She was always the only one who punished others. When will it be others' turn to punish her?Although this life is not as good as her previous life, she is still the daughter of a marquis. The only loss she suffered was the time when Su Yue pushed herself into the pond.It's just that this time, I also regained my face.

But now, what Su Wan has to face is a real and bloody punishment!How can you let her not be afraid?When listening to those two people talking just now, Su Wan couldn't help thinking of the scene in the square today.

Seeing Su Wan's panic-stricken face, her little face turned pale with fright, the queen looked at Su Wan lovingly, and asked with a smile: "Wan'er, I will give you another chance, if you are willing to say now, I will What the palace said before still counts."

The queen said before that as long as Su Wan speaks out about her plan, Su Wan will definitely be released.At this time, Jiandong Su Wan was frightened into such a state, and thought in her heart that she was indeed a yellow-haired girl, and she was about to be recruited by this palace.

I only heard Su Wan say in an extremely sad voice: "Empress, Su Wan really doesn't know." If she tells all her plans now, she might end up not much better than being tortured, so Su Wan can only grit her teeth and say she doesn't know.

Hearing these words, the queen's complexion changed. Just now, she thought that Su Wan was too timid and bored.Didn't expect it to harden so quickly.The queen looked at the pale Su Wan, and said with a cold smile, "Use torture!"
