"Queen, please spare your life!"
"Queen, have mercy, have mercy!"
In front of the Weiyang Palace, torture instruments were lined up. Dozens of muscular palace ladies with big shoulders and round waists were pulling out long whips full of barbs from the salt water. They were beating the people who were forced to the ground and stripped off their clothes. On the palace lady's smooth back.
The first time the whip was applied, the screams of the tortured palace servants shook the room - the barbs and flesh were brought out, the wounds were bloody and bloody, and blood flowed out gurglingly, which was shocking to see.
After a few whips, blood flowed out, and the weak ones even fainted.
Those who were not fainted were desperately begging for mercy and trying to get pardon.
But what they responded to was the Lan family who was standing not far away and was wearing the clothes of a female official, with a livid face and a cold drink squeezed out from between his teeth: "Beat! Beat me to death! Show all the slaves of the Sixth Palace." Look, what will happen if you gossip and spread rumors behind your master’s back?”
Another female official, Heshi, who had gone to Xuanming Palace to report the queen's pregnancy, said with an expressionless face: "Why haven't you brought the stove? You said you would burn these people's tongues bit by bit." , be gentle with your hands, don't kill them and let them go on their way easily!"
While he was talking, two chamberlains not far away were cautiously carrying a red-hot stove. When they saw the stove, they thought of the pain of having their tongues forcibly pinched out and scalded to death bit by bit. One of the palace servants suddenly tried to break free. The person holding her down hit the bluestone floor tiles hard!
"Want to die?!" Lan Shi and He Shi looked sharply at the same time - but they saw that the palace servant who had let go was afraid of being punished, so he did not react slowly, and immediately rushed forward and hugged him before he hit the floor tiles. The man rolled violently towards the side. Although the palace man who tried to commit suicide was bleeding from the forehead, his life was safe after all!
Lan breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Now do you know you are afraid? Why didn't you know when you were talking about it before!" Then he ordered, "Since she can't wait to go on the road, how can we do what she wants? Put her last One, let her see with her own eyes how the people in front of her died, and then it’s her turn!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace man was so frightened that he screamed for a long time. Only halfway through the scream, she closed her eyes and fell back. The palace man who held her down again subconsciously stretched out his hand and was surprised: "Blue Shang Gong, this person... she... she seems to be dead! "
"Huh?" Lan frowned, and He stepped forward to take a breath, nodded to Lan, and hummed softly: "This bitch is so easy!"
"How can you take advantage of her like that?" Heshi sneered, "It is said that when King Heng was in the East Palace, he liked to use the skins of young and beautiful women to make drums. This bitch didn't die until he found the craftsman at that time!"
... Blood flowed like a river outside Weiyang Palace, and everyone in the palace was shocked by Wei Lingyue's sudden thunderous method. They were all silent and did not dare to say anything.
But Wei Lingyue was not happy at all. She ignored the screams and howls that occasionally reached her ears through several palace doors and curtains. She asked her confidant, the palace maid Zhishu, thoughtfully: "Is it from Weiyue Palace?" What came out?"
"Hui Niangniang, that's exactly what happened. It is said that the palace servant in front of Li Cainu was the first to murmur like this, and then the palace servant Sasuo in Weiyue Palace heard it, and went to tell others, and then it spread to other places." Shu said softly, "I checked several times and everyone in the palace said so. Going further back to Weiyue Palace, I don't know who said that."
"Hmph!" Wei Lingyue sneered, "The Li family was just a commoner. Because of her poverty, she entered the palace as a maid. When the Holy Master was King Yi, she was lucky enough to be chosen as the accountant. She was transparent when she was in Prince Yi's Mansion and the East Palace. Human! Not to mention that the Holy Emperor has only given her the title of a virgin, so she dares to talk about my own flesh and blood!"
He couldn't blame Wei Lingyue for being so angry.
Before she came out of the cabinet, everyone said she was lucky. Although Shen Bo had a reputation as a tyrant when he was young, Wei Lingyue was the wife he had begged for from his heart and soul, and he even fought several times with the former deposed Queen Gu for this reason.
Everyone thought that after she married, she would not be the only one to love her whole life. At least in her youthful years, Shen Bo could not tolerate other people in her eyes. But who would have thought that on their wedding night, when she timidly raised her face to look up at her husband who was holding up her red scarf to Nayu Ruyi, what greeted her was a face that was so shocked that he had behaved badly in public!
At that moment she was suspicious, and her original shyness was replaced by panic.
When Shen Bo put Yu Ruyi down and staggered out to deal with the guests, she was on pins and needles, but she still had to endure the teasing of the clan wives.
It’s not like I didn’t pray secretly.
But later when Shen Bo came back and the servants came up to help undress, and there were only two people left, Shen Bo asked her directly: "Were you the one in the Imperial Garden back then?"
What imperial garden
Before Wei Lingyue could answer, her confused expression told Shen Bo everything - Wei Lingyue still remembers how ferocious her husband's face looked at that moment!
In the end, he did what the husband should do on the wedding night, but he looked gloomy and acted rudely, without caring about his wife's feelings. Wei Lingyue will never forget the severe pain and fear she felt that night.
She vaguely guessed that he was asking to marry the wrong person. What he really wanted to marry was someone he met in the imperial garden, not himself. But for some reason, Shen Bo thought it was the young lady who knew his cousin's name, Ling Yue, so he persisted in asking for it, despite the difficulties of his aunt and the rejection of the late emperor, time and time again... He must like that person very much, Otherwise, how could you be so persevering
It was not easy to find the "right person", and then the concubine, the Queen Mother Ji, died. After many twists and turns, she got married. Only then did she realize that she was with the wrong person - it seemed reasonable for him to be disappointed, angry, and angry.
But what did Wei Lingyue do wrong? She just stayed in her boudoir peacefully and was proposed to marry by Shen Bo's name. Then the Wei family agreed to the marriage, the Holy Spirit granted the marriage, and she just went through with it.
It was Shen Bo who made the mistake, not her. She never told Shen Bo that she was the one he longed for.
The only one to blame is the person who misled Shenbo intentionally or unintentionally, but Wei Lingyue still doesn’t know who that person is? What is the purpose of doing this
When Shen Bo asked to marry her, King Heng was still in the East Palace and his status was still stable. At that time, no one could see that Shen Bo had the future he has today, but the rumors of his violent temper were known to every family. Anyone in the noble family who loved their daughters would not be willing to marry their daughters to him. Wei Lingyue thought that this was probably not done by her own family, then it was her enemy. She suspected Wei Changying the most...
Therefore, after Shen Bo was established as the Eastern Palace, Wei Lingyue had been silently praying for him, hoping that he could ascend the throne smoothly. She knew that even if Shen Bo married the wrong person, even if he didn't like her, with the Fengzhou Wei family background, as long as Shen Bo was emperor, the Weiyang Palace would definitely be hers. Concubine Shu Deng thought that Shen Bo favored her, and as long as she defeated Wei Lingyue, she would be in charge of Feng Yin one day... It was just a joke of a spoiled and confused woman.
Not to mention the confused concubine, Wei Lingyue thought that as long as Shen Bo became the emperor, his wife would be honored by her husband - then he could bring the Wei Chief Ying into the palace with the dignity of the queen, and slowly interrogated him, whether it was true or not. she
Even if the married women are interrogated one by one, she will take revenge.
But who would have thought that even though she became a queen and her filial piety was still intact, she would find out she was pregnant. However, in order to take advantage of the power of the Deng family, Shenbo honored the late emperor's concubine as the queen mother. In this way, she, the queen, not only had one person on her head, Empress Dowager Deng's niece, Concubine Deng Shu, was not only deeply loved by Shen Bo, but even gave birth to Shen Bo's eldest son, Shen Lang...
After Wei Lingyue realized that she was pregnant, her first thought was to hide it!
Concubine Deng Shu had nothing, but Empress Dowager Deng had been up and down in the palace for decades. Not to mention the means to the city, the connections she had accumulated by fighting with the late emperor's deposed queen Gu family for decades, and finally taking advantage of the general situation to defeat the Gu family were not what she had accumulated at the beginning. When entering the palace, everyone knew that he would not be favored, but Wei Lingyue, who only had the dignity of a queen, could not compare.
What's more, Shen Lang was still raised by Empress Dowager Deng!
Wei Lingyue bets that Empress Dowager Deng never wants to see a son in the palace.
Under such circumstances, Wei Lingyue really didn't dare to summon Wei Changying. After all, Wei Changying's identity was not something she could quietly kill and cover up in the palace. What if her pregnancy was revealed to her and spread, then...
She decided to endure it for the time being!
Fortunately, concealing the pregnancy this time was not without its benefits. Shen Lang fell and injured his head at a critical moment. Although Empress Dowager Deng used the excuse of "the prince is still young" to cover up and refused to admit that Shen Lang's intelligence was impaired, she only looked at Shen Bo's face. He knew that Duanmu Xinmiao's diagnosis was probably due to her.
So although Shen Bo didn't like Wei Lingyue, he was looking forward to the prince who was diagnosed in her belly. In addition, he often visits Weiyang Palace. Although he can only come during the day during the filial piety period and does not enter the inner chamber, this attitude has changed the direction of the palace and Queen Wei Lingyue has become more and more prestigious. .
But when she was guarding against the murder of the child in her belly by Empress Dowager Deng and Concubine Deng Shu, she did not expect that the Empress Dowager's hand could not reach into the Weiyang Palace, but reached elsewhere - if it were not for the diligence of the Shenbo in the past few days, there would be The palace servants deliberately sought flattery and came to Weiyang Palace to report. Wei Lingyue, who was huddled in Changle Palace to have her baby, never imagined that such vicious rumors about her unborn heir would spread in the palace overnight!
The rumor goes like this: What Empress Wei was pregnant with was a disaster star. Otherwise, how could she have defeated her eldest brother before he even landed, causing Shen Lang to fall and break his brain? Moreover, not long after the news of the queen's pregnancy came out, the Rong people invaded in large numbers. If the Grand Master hadn't been decisive, the Rong people would have been in danger of rushing into the imperial capital and taking all the nobles in the city as prisoners!
It can be seen that although the queen is pregnant, it is not a good thing. Could such an ominous fetus be the result of some extremely evil evildoer? Besides, the Queen's pregnancy was a happy event, but Wei Lingyue kept it secret for seven months. She probably knew it, but deliberately kept it secret to win favor!
Maybe, this baby will be born as a monster? Or is it that after birth, there are more people and things that are more terrifying
This rumor was half true and half false, but it happened that time Shen Lang was injured. Although Wei Lingyue's pregnancy was revealed because of this, it was indeed after the news of her pregnancy spread that the Rong army came to kill the palace people. When word spread, many people actually suspected that the fetus in Wei Lingyue's belly was unlucky!
Now I don't know if these words have reached Shen Bo's ears, but Wei Lingyue has already realized that if she doesn't handle it well, she is afraid that this rare opportunity to turn around will be fleeting!
He would even be completely overwhelmed by Deng's aunt and nephew! There is a risk of being deposed or even dying!
"That old guy from Huishu Palace has deep roots in this palace. If you can't find out, there's nothing you can do about it." Wei Lingyue calmed down and said, "In this case, you go and invite the Holy One to come over and say that someone seems to have sneaked into this palace. The Rong spies intend to slander the origins of the flesh and blood in my belly, implying the decline of General Wei Zuo, and disturb the hearts of the soldiers and people of the imperial capital! "
Zhishu was originally very worried about this matter, but he was very impressed when he heard what he said - the Wei Dynasty is in a precarious state now, but it is said that diseases should be avoided and medical treatment should be avoided. As the leader of Wei, Shen Bo hates to hear words like "Wei Zuo has declined". Wei Lingyue will The palace people's discussion about the unlucky pregnancy was attributed to the fact that the palace people thought that Wei Zuo was in decline, so he could not protect the royal bloodline, and a monster would be reincarnated... After hearing this, Shenbo would most likely be furious!
In this way, as long as Shenbo does not admit that Wei Zuo has declined, he will certainly not admit that Wei Lingyue's pregnancy is not good, so this disaster will be solved.
Zhishu quickly agreed and left in a hurry.
Wei Lingyue was left caressing her bulging belly, but she still had no smile on her face. She only looked up at the gorgeous roof of Changle Hall and murmured softly: "I don't know what will happen if you land in this situation now." Blessing or disaster... But I can always protect you day by day..." (To be continued)
