Millennium drunk

When Wan Rong came back with the silver needle, she saw that Ying Luo was pale and slumped on the ground.Wan Rong has also seen Xia Ruoqing's strange expression, but she has followed Xia Ruoqing for many years, and her courage and experience are not comparable to Yingluo, so Wan Rong calmed down a little, and after presenting the silver needle to Xia Ruoqing, she hurriedly pulled Yingluo out of the room and guarded her. In front of the small gate.

The room was silent, and the two stood together in a daze.Most of Yingluo's tears had dried up at this moment, and seeing people rushing past the door, turning a blind eye to her, she couldn't bear it any longer, whispered to Wan Rong, "Jing Gui...Jing Gui, just now Said...to save Lan Jieyu..."

"Shut up." Wan Rong glanced around and saw that no one had noticed what Ying Luo said, so she frowned and replied, "You are also an old man in the palace, some things you have never heard of before."

Yingluo shuddered when she thought of Xia Ruoqing's tricks that He Lanfu had heard this morning, and she didn't dare to say more, she just bit her lips and remained silent.

Wan Rong is calm on the surface, but in fact she is restless and has mixed thoughts.She didn't know what Xia Ruoqing wanted to do, and thought of He Lanfu's suicide, wondering if it would affect Xia Ruoqing's plan to save the Xia family. She was hesitating when she looked up and saw a man in an imperial doctor's robe being led by a palace servant Enter the outer pavilion, and walk towards the outer room with every step.

Wan Rong was startled, pulled Yingluo, retracted her sleeves and bowed for a while, calling out: "Chen Yuyi."

Chen Hairong nodded in agreement, and raised his hand to signal for the two to excuse themselves so that they could enter the outer room.Wan Rong was startled and anxious, blocked in front of the door and did not get up to dodge.She didn't know if Xia Ruoqing was done, but she only hoped that Xia Ruoqing could hear this call and stop in time, so that no one would notice the clue.

Chen Hairong rushed all the way, and when he arrived at Yufeng Palace, he saw such a dull palace man, he couldn't help but get angry, and said: "I heard that Lan Jieyu is ill, why don't you hurry to get out of the way?"

She had no choice but to turn sideways to get out of the way.When Chen Hairong stepped into the room, he smelled a strong smell of blood in his nostrils, and when he took a closer look, the medicine box in his hand immediately fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

I saw blood running across the bed, Xia Ruoqing, who had always been dignified and elegant, sat quietly on the edge of the bed hugging a woman with her long hair lying on her back.Looking at the woman from the side, she was as straight as a shave, with a sharp outline, she was He Lanfu who was called acutely ill.

Chen Hairong was quite calm, and immediately rushed to the edge of the bed after being startled, and saw clearly the golden hairpin on He Lanfu's neck.

"Come on! Hurry up and get someone to come!" Chen Hairong didn't care about etiquette, waved his sleeves and shouted at Wanrong while stretching out his fingers and pressing on He Lanfu's neck, he could tell that Lan Jieyu, who was full of fame, was powerless. Back to the days.

Afterwards, there was war and chaos, and Xia Ruoqing was at the mercy of others as if she had lost her soul.Chen Hairong ordered Xia Ruoqing to settle down, and then carefully examined He Lanfu's neck injury. He had many years of experience in practicing medicine, and he could tell from the angle and depth of the gold hairpin's penetration into the neck and the blood stains on the curtain that He Lanfu committed suicide.

In less than half an hour, Emperor Nanzhao also rushed to Yufeng Palace from the previous dynasty after hearing the news.In just half a day, the high-ranking concubines in the harem gave birth, became critically ill, and committed suicide. How could it not make Nanzhao Emperor furious?After looking over the three of them, Xia Ruoqing, who was the only one who was safe, was immediately summoned to the main hall.

At this moment, Xia Ruoqing was already being waited on by her aunt to re-do her hair and make up her makeup. Her mind seemed to be much clearer than when Chen Hairong saw it. When she saw Emperor Nanzhao, she knelt down and bowed to the ground, never getting up again.

"Xia Ruoqing, what's going on?" Emperor Nanzhao was so angry that he even gave up his title and called him by his first name.

Xia Ruoqing just shook her head, crying silently.

"say!"

"Concubine... I don't know."

"Why did He Lanfu come to Yufeng Palace, why did he commit suicide in Yufeng Palace? When she committed suicide, you were the only one by her side! And you and her have always been on good terms, how could you not know?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

"Don't rely on the Xia family behind me, I won't dare to touch you. If you don't tell me, you will be regarded as guilty and punished with He Lanfu. He Lanfu is dead, you should think clearly!"

"Your Majesty, now His Majesty knows better than my concubine how the Xia Clan is. How can a concubine rely on you? It is a great crime for Sister He Lan to kill herself as a concubine of Nantang. The other concubines really don't know why Sister He Lan is guilty. Where does Your Majesty ask you to start?" Hearing the Nanzhao Emperor's question, Xia Ruoqing suddenly raised her head and sobbed.

"You!" Emperor Nanzhao was speechless when asked about Xia Ruoqing's words, and Xia Ruoqing has always been gentle and docile, and Emperor Nanzhao never thought that she would have such a violent reaction, so he took the initiative for a while. Only Xia Ruoqing's soft weeping could be heard in the hall.

On the way to Yufeng Palace, Emperor Nanzhao had already heard the report from Huangmen beside him.He Lanfu went to Yufeng Palace first, and fought against the palace people, Xia Ruoqing chased after him, this was witnessed by many palace people along the way.After He Lanfu arrived at Yufeng Palace, Jun Yihuang was suddenly ill, and Su Lingyu was shocked and had a miscarriage.After He Lanfu did everything, he committed suicide with a golden hairpin in Yufeng Palace, most likely because of fear of crime.Although all these incidents seem to have nothing to do with Xia Ruoqing, but Xia Ruoqing will chase after He Lanfu, most likely because she knows something but is unwilling to reveal it.If you want to find out the cause of this matter, you have to start with Xia Ruoqing.

Emperor Nanzhao was silent for a while, then sneered suddenly, and said: "It seems that if I don't let you suffer some flesh and blood, you won't say it. Come and punish me."

Huangmen, who served by the side of Emperor Nanzhao, responded blankly when he heard the words, and waved his hand to the little Huangmen outside the door to get the torture tools.There are usually concubines in the court who make mistakes, most of which are deductions from their salaries and demotions. If the concubines make more serious mistakes, this punishment is not enough to dispel the anger of the emperor, and if the crime is not enough to be sent to Qingping Pavilion, they will be punished with flogging.

The torture instruments used for the concubine’s flogging are all specially made, and the executioner has also practiced hard for several years. The torture instrument is swung to the skin without leaving any scars, but the inside is like a knife cutting fire. Often, the concubine who is tortured will not be able to bear it and faint past.

Seeing Xia Ruoqing trembling all over, Emperor Nanzhao smiled and said, "It's too late to say now."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know what to say..."

Xia Ruoqing's voice fell, and the instruments of torture were presented to the hall.Xia Ruoqing looked as if she was terrified, her forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, her eyes were full of coldness.

Both hands and feet were tightened by Huangmen, Emperor Nanzhao nodded slightly, and Huangmen, who was in charge of execution, slapped Xia Ruoqing's back with a whip.Xia Ruoqing's whole body twitched suddenly, and she struggled so much that she even struggled to suppress her Huangmen.

After three lashes, Xia Ruoqing's complexion was as white as gold paper, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, her eyes were blurred, she just cried and begged for mercy, when the fourth lash fell on her body, Xia Ruoqing groaned in her throat, and already vomited a mouthful of blood.

Emperor Nanzhao frowned, his eyes were cold.Huangmen, who was executing the sentence, hesitated and looked at Emperor Nanzhao. After all, this concubine Jinggui has not been convicted, and some of it is speculation.The concubines in the court are all slender and weak like delicate flowers, and if they are beaten a few more times, they will become disabled even if they don't die.He also heard that Concubine Jinggui has recently regained his favor, if something really happened, and the street god and king accused him again, wouldn't it be wronged?

Emperor Nanzhao also hesitated in his heart. It stands to reason that Xia Ruoqing grew up in the Hou family and entered the royal family. He had never suffered such pain. If it were other concubines, they would faint from fright when they saw the torture tools, so why would they hide it.Now that the fourth stroke is over, Xia Ruoqing still keeps saying that she doesn't know. Could it be that she really doesn't know?

His eyes fell on Xia Ruoqing's half-faced makeup covered with messy hair. After all, Emperor Nanzhao's heart softened. With a wave of his hand, the executioner Huangmen also heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped back.

Xia Ruoqing was supported by Huang Men and knelt on the ground again, but she couldn't kneel right now, she just lay on the ground, even the sound of crying was as thin as a gossamer.

"Forget it, help Concubine Jing go down and call an imperial doctor to heal her wounds." Emperor Nanzhao couldn't bear the fruit, feeling upset, stood up and went straight out of the main hall, without looking at Xia Ruoqing who was crouching in the hall.

After Emperor Nanzhao left, Wan Rong who was hiding outside the palace dared to enter the palace to help Xia Ruoqing with the rest of the palace.All the way back to the Chengming Palace, he hurriedly passed on to the imperial doctor, so he didn't mention it.

Xia Ruoqing fainted until the next day's twilight.Blinking her eyelashes and looking sideways at the familiar indoor furnishings, Xia Ruoqing was still in a trance, reaching out to touch the side as usual, and whispered, "Ah Fu, what time is it?"

This movement of the arm involved the wound behind her, and Xia Ruoqing cried out "ah" in pain.Wan Rong, who was busy outside, heard the sound, hurried into the room, and said joyfully, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Xia Ruoqing didn't answer, she just looked sideways at the empty half-side pillow, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes silently.

"Your Majesty, is it in severe pain? The imperial doctor has added soothing and pain-relieving herbs to the medicine, and it's almost ready. Do you want to eat something? This servant will call someone to do it."

"Yesterday...did I say something that I shouldn't have said?" Xia Ruoqing was silent for a while before asking lightly.This harem whipping punishment is well-deserved of its reputation. She suffered from the last blow yesterday, her sanity was already blurred, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it and say something.

"No, His Majesty is just quite angry. He stayed in Yufeng Palace yesterday and today except for the time of court."

"That's good. As for... He Lan, can His Majesty tell you how to deal with it?"

"Your Majesty... wanted to throw out of the palace, but was dissuaded by Wang Changshi. I heard that Northern Yan He Lanqi joined forces with other ministries of Beiyan to seize the throne, and King Chenghuai of Beiyan was beheaded in the palace. Wang Changshi comforted His Majesty Leaving Lan Jieyu's body for the time being can be regarded as an explanation to Bei Yan. Lan Jieyu has now been sent to Liuli Palace."

"Liuli Palace...then I won't see you..." Xia Ruoqing murmured.

Waving her arms back, Xia Ruoqing turned her head to the inner side of the bed again, regardless of the pain behind her, she stretched out her arms to caress the cold jade pillow.

"Ah Fu, I can't keep your body, I can only keep your soul. Wait a moment, I will find a body for you, and I won't let you live in it forever. Jun Yihuang was born in the same year, the same month, the same day as you , do you think this is the result destined by the heavens? When you come back, we will kill the dog emperor together, and I will accompany you, okay? Okay?"

A small fingertip-sized, exquisitely carved purple jade hibiscus earring was placed on the jade pillow on the empty side, because the jade pillow rolled back and forth, as if shaking its head and struggling.

Xia Ruoqing had tears in her eyes, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I know you are willing, as long as I kill that dog emperor and rescue my parents, siblings... Ah Fu, wait for me."
