Chapter 50 Zhang Guiren was brutally tortured
Ling Xiao was still thinking, wasn't the noble concubine with the emperor? Why did she suddenly come here? As soon as I turned my head, I found that the person who came was the medicine concubine!
"The Empress of Medicine is auspicious!" Everyone hurriedly saluted him.
The medicine concubine waved her hand casually to get them up. She walked to Zhang Guiren and asked coldly, "Zhang Guiren, did you mean to touch the moldy head of the noble concubine? It's okay to be noisy, but you deliberately hurt your hand and saw blood!"
This sentence is quite a bit of a reversal of black and white. Zhang Guiren is not a fool. How can he hurt himself for no reason? But at this time, how dare she argue? She can only admit her mistake obediently, "Please forgive me."
"Say it, what's going on?" The medicine concubine sat on the chair brought up by the eunuch and began to interrogate.
Zhang Guiren finally had a chance to explain. She had to complain about her "grievance", but before she could speak, Lu Qianmo knelt down in front of the medicine concubine.
"The medicine concubine, Zhang Guiren wants to be disrespectful to Ling concubine."
Zhang Guiren was stunned. She didn't expect that there was anyone who could "wish the villain first" than her. Looking at the eyes of the medicine concubine glinched at her, she immediately shrilled back, "You bitch, it's obviously you who touched me!"
"Dare to be so presumptuous in front of Ben Gong, Cai Ye, slap me." With the order of the medicine concubine, Cai Ye ruthlessly started to fight against Zhang Guiren. After a while, Zhang Guiren's face was swollen like a pig's head, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and everyone felt pain.
" Stop it." The medicine concubine asked Cai Ye to stop and said, "Zhang Guiren, you are disrespectful with your humble body, but what else can you say?"
"Mother, it's really a strange beauty who beat the concubine first." Zhang Guiren burst into tears, so pitiful.
The medicine concubine sneered and said, "What I saw with my own eyes, will there be any fake?"
At this time, Ling Xiao understood Lu Qianmo's behavior. Originally, it was indeed Zhang Guiren's wrong words and deeds, but after all, it was Lu Qianmo's hand. If you really investigate it, the person who is "disrespectful with a humble body" is Lu Qianmo. But now it has become that Zhang Guiren is disrespectful to Ling Concubine, and he is also presumptuous in front of the medicine concubine.
If the medicine concubine really intends to find out the truth, the ins and outs of the matter naturally can't hide it from her, but she obviously doesn't have this idleness. Because the noble concubine was pregnant, she was very unhappy. At this time, Zhang Guiren hit the muzzle of the gun. The medicine concubine won't care about the truth. Now, she just needs to vent her anger. I'm afraid it can't be done today.
At this time, I'm afraid Zhang Guiren has seen that she no longer tries to explain, but only kowtowed desperately.
"Come on, Zhang Guiren is disrespectful to Ling and Ben Gong, and also tries to bump into the noble concubine to be pregnant." The medicine concubine began to order the punishment. For a moment, she didn't think of any good punishment, so she looked at Cai Ye.
Cai Ye looked at Zhang Guiren's bleeding fingers and said with a smile, "The maidservant looks at the nobleman's fingernails are too long. It's inconvenient to keep them. Why don't you remove them all?"
As soon as Zhang Guiren heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. He looked at his hands and fainted.
What a cruel medicine concubine! Ten fingers to the heart, pull out all the nails one by one, which is to hurt Zhang Guiren to death.
After the bodyguard took Zhang Guiren down, the medicine concubine ordered, "First find a better imperial doctor to stop the bleeding for Zhang Guiren, and don't make a bad step."
After finishing these things, the medicine concubine called her superiors back to the palace, and she didn't even look at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt a deep sense of crisis. The noble concubine was pregnant, and the medicine concubine could not sit still. She was already at the disadvantage of the noble concubine, but now it is even worse. Concubine Medicine is ultimatuming her! The last time I helped her was also to deter her. If she still doesn't know anything about it, then the nobleman will end her in the future!
"Master Ling, my concubine went back first." After seeing Zhang Guiren suffer such a cruel punishment, Lu Qianmo's face was also very pale, but he did not show guilt. With a slight salute, he turned around and left. Seeing the woman with Zhang Guiren just now who was already frightened and her legs were weak, she sneered.
"Although I knew that Yaofei was not a kind person, I never thought that she could be so cruel!" Lin Xuanyu pulled Ling Xiao to the uninhabited place and sat in the pavilion to rest. She stroked her heart in shock.
Ling Xiao was also worried and said, "The noble concubine has always acted domineering, but she has capital, and although the medical concubine's family background is also extremely valuable, she is much inferior in front of the noble concubine and has to act virtuous to improve her image, but now, she is anxious."
"Will she be unfavorable to you?" Lin Xuanyu said worriedly.
"For today's plan, only soldiers can block the water and cover the earth." Ling Xiao frowned, thought for a moment, and spit out such a sentence.
Lin Xuanyu nodded. After a while, she looked at Ling Xiao again and asked, "Xiaoer, aren't you sad?"
Ling Xiao was stunned and asked, "Sad? Why should I be sad?"
"Don't you really love the emperor? Now that the noble concubine has his child, are you not sad?
Being said by Lin Xuanyu, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the emperor's unusual joy when he rushed into Zhaoyang Palace at that time. He was gloomy, but it stopped there. She thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's a little lost, but I can understand the emperor's mood, and I don't hate the noble concubine. After all, compared with her, I'm the latecomer."
Ling Xiao thought of her mother and aunt. Without the appearance of Qiluo, maybe their family could also live a good life. It can be said that her and her mother's misfortune was largely caused by Qiluo, so she hated the later invader. So, isn't it equivalent to robbing her favor for the noble concubine now? So, what reason does she have to hate the noble concubine?
"Sxiaoer? How can you think so?" Lin Xuanyu felt very incomprehensible, but at the same time, she comforted her a little, "Okay, I was worried that you would be too sad."
"Sister, don't worry." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "What's more, when you think about it, the noble concubine actually didn't do anything to me." If she didn't do the calamus case.
"Then you can't take it lightly. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable. What's more, the people in the palace will be red and white. If the noble concubine is pregnant, it's not easy for you.
Ling Xiao naturally understands Lin Xuanyu's kind warning. In fact, what she didn't say is that the reason why she can be so indifferent about this matter is that, in addition to the reason why she said it, perhaps another important point is that her love for the emperor, or not that deep at present. At the same time, it is also because of psychological preparation. It's not that she intended to hide it, but in fact, she is not too clear.
The noble concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed, which is not a small matter. Naturally, it is a great celebration, and the noble concubine and the Xie family have received rich rewards. The emperor promised that as long as the noble concubine gave birth to a prince, she would be canonized as the imperial concubine, and Xie's status in the harem was once again greatly improved and stabilized.
Of course, Ling Xiao knows that at this time, the more you keep a low profile, the better. You must avoid it. Usually, except for going to Zhaoyang Palace to pay euher, she almost closed her door, and even Lin Xuanyu rarely went there. However, in fact, it did not develop as she thought.
Because of the emperor's attitude.
Originally, many people thought that the new favorite concubine must be neglected, at least for a while. However, unexpectedly, after more than a month, Concubine Ling was awarded the title of Ling Wanyi. Not only was she defeated as others guessed, but she became more and more popular.
There is a very strange taste in the harem. Xie Guifei is in the sky, and no one can beat her, but the new favorite Ling Wanyi has not been affected at all under the momentum of the noble concubine, and even means to go hand in hand.
On this day, the emperor came to Qiluan Hall again. Ling Xiao couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine is pregnant. You should go and see her more. Why, the old minister and concubine is here." She really said these words. No matter what the reason is, she should not be too sharp at this time.
But this was heard in the emperor's ears, with a trace of resentment and sadness. So, he took Ling Xiao's shoulder and looked at her and said, "I only have one daughter. Now the noble concubine is pregnant. I'm just happy with the child in her womb. You don't have to worry about it."
Ling Xiao was stunned, and a trace of joy spread from the depths of her heart, but she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, do you treat the noble concubine..."
The emperor interrupted her, came closer and gently rubbed her face with a short stubble on his mouth, and said, "I hope Ling Xiao can give birth to a little Lingxiao for me."
"Doesn't the emperor want to be a prince?" Ling Xiao suddenly blushed and asked softly.
"I like my daughter, a beautiful and smart daughter like Ling Xiao." The emperor's voice was as gentle as water, making people sink during the period.
At this time, Ling Xiao felt that, no matter what kind of noble concubine he is, no matter what kind of edge he is, as long as the man in front of him has her in his heart, everything is worth it. The beloved person is in front of her. How can she push people out? She is not a saint. She can't be so great. She is just a little woman who wants her husband to be spoiled.
It's just that she doesn't target others, but others may not let her go. Even if she has been careful, many things can't be stopped knowing that they will happen, not to mention countless hidden arrows.
At first, we were at peace. After a few more months, it gradually became autumn. The capital is no better than the south, and there is no so-called autumn tiger. After the autumn equinox, the weather suddenly cools down. It has been more than two months since the noble concubine was found to be pregnant.
Ling Xiao was reading in the yard as usual, but suddenly someone came to report that the generation in the noble concubine's palace had come. This is really a rare guest. Naturally, she knew the reason of going to the Three Treasures Hall and hurriedly responded.
"The little master of Wanyi is so elegant. The noble concubine is annoyed in the palace. I don't know if I can ask the little master to talk to the queen and relieve it?"
