The Summer Palace, the place where the Supreme Emperor spends his life, is also the residence of many concubines and concubines.
Zongzheng Qingqi didn't treat those concubines lightly, but those who had princes and daughters, and those princes and daughters had started a mansion or got married, they could leave the palace and live with their children.
It's like the third princess's biological mother, Concubine Min, who went to the princess mansion after the third princess got married, and her childhood was more nourishing than in the palace.
The Fifth Prince is still young and still lives in the palace, and Concubine Jiang was the most beloved concubine of the Supreme Emperor. Out of the consideration of his son's filial piety, Zongzheng Qingqi specially asked Jiang, who was promoted to the Grand Concubine, to serve Emperor Chengqing when he was sick. In the palace, Wan Qilan and Zongzheng Qingqi stared at her every day. When other concubines avoided the Supreme Emperor, Concubine Jiang Gui had to hold back the anger in her heart, and served Emperor Chengqing who couldn't speak. An old man who can't move.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Supreme Emperor is completely hopeless. No matter how filial the little emperor is, he can't hide the fact that this man has become a cripple who needs to be handed shit and urine.
Many concubines in the palace are still young, and those who have children have a strong head. Those concubines who have no children and have not been favored a few times hate Emperor Cheng Qing to death, so they would not want to see him and serve him.
There are also Noble Pingtai and Concubine De, the biological mothers of the two eldest princes and the third prince. After learning of the news of their son's death, their energy and energy were drained, and they were just lingering in the deep palace.
The Summer Palace is not big, but there are quite a few concubines of Emperor Chengqing. The small palace is particularly crowded. The concubines who used to live alone in the palace can only squeeze a few pennies with some nobles, and the palace servants around them are also busy. Reduced, because there are many people and the place is small, there will inevitably be more disputes. Anyway, it has become a thing of the past.
"what-"
At this time, Emperor Chengqing's bedroom smelled of excrement and urine, and in Nuo Da's palace, there was not a single maid and eunuch serving her, only Jiang Fengjiao stood in the shadow, watching the one who kept wailing, and looked at her with hatred. the emperor.
If Jiang Fengjiao hated Yan Chu the most, who gave her hope and let her down, the second must be that Emperor Cheng Qing didn't run away.
If the other party hadn't favored Xiao Chu and supported such an unfamiliar eunuch, how could she have fallen to where she is today? If the other party hadn't left the throne to the son of that bitch Wan Qilan at the last moment, now she is The Empress Dowager should be the woman who lives in Yining Palace, enjoys the worship of the married woman, and lives a life of rich clothes and fine food.
Instead of being trapped in this square inch like now, relying on others, and because you don't have enough strength to deal with those people, you are scared all day long.
All of this was brought to her by Xiao Chu, and it was also brought to her by Emperor Cheng Qing.
Therefore, during these time in the Summer Palace, Jiang Fengjiao did not allow Emperor Cheng Qing to have a good day.
Compared with the Supreme Emperor at sunset, the court ladies and eunuchs are obviously more willing to please her, the imperial concubine who gave birth to a second prince, not to mention that Emperor Cheng Qing can't speak, can't act, even if he wants to sue, he can't open his mouth. How could the new emperor and the queen mother know what happened to him and punish these dishonest palace servants for him.
Now apart from the exposed skin, there is not a single piece of good flesh on Emperor Chengqing's body. Most of the wounds were pricked by Jiang Fengjiao with needles. It hurts enough, but there is only a barely visible needle hole left on the skin surface. After a few days, this wound will subside again.
For Emperor Cheng Qing, during the past few months in the Summer Palace, he really felt what life would be like death.
Now, what makes him even more desperate is what Jiang Fengjiao said that someone in the previous dynasty sounded the drum of grievances. The person who sued was Yan Zhaonan's eldest son Yan Chu who should have died in that tragic disaster 23 years ago. The person is him, the former emperor who has become the overlord.
"Ah-ah-"
Emperor Cheng Qing could only roar with exhaustion, what Yan Chu must have been arranged by Xiao Chu, isn't he the eldest son of Yan Zhaonan, how could he be the second Yan Chu.
The other party is ambitious, but his son is at the mercy of the other party, and this secret matter is widely announced. When the whole world knows about it, won't he become a famous faint king in the history books and be cast aside by all people? .
"Tsk tsk, are you angry?"
Jiang Fengjiao specially sent this news to look like Emperor Qing was mad, and she stayed far away from the bed, so that the smell would not be so pungent.
At the beginning, the servants in the palace were quite diligent. After all, even if Emperor Chengqing was paralyzed, he was still an emperor. However, the Queen Mother and the Emperor only came once when the Supreme Emperor moved to the palace, and then they only let the palace occasionally. The people in the palace came to have a look, and those palace people who served in the Summer Palace began to be dissatisfied.
The life of Emperor Cheng Qing began to be difficult. In addition to the torture from Jiang Fengjiao, he also had to endure the pain of pulling a bed with feces and urine, but no one helped him change it.
Now it's cold, even if charcoal is burned in the house, the wet bedding can still pierce people's bones, and Emperor Chengqing's back is covered with frostbite sores, and the palace people are afraid that he will really die like this. No matter how much the emperor didn't care about the Supreme Emperor, he would definitely pursue it, so he changed his approach a little, and came to help him change the mattress twice a day, and if he urinated in the rest of the time, he could only bear it.
The majestic emperor, reduced to this state, I am afraid that in the history books, apart from the subjugated king, there will be no second one.
Jiang Fengjiao covered her nose and looked at Emperor Cheng Qing with disgust.
"This is the good son you picked to help outsiders deal with you. If you don't know, you think that stray dog is his real father." Jiang Fengjiao finally understood. With her scheming and strength, she fought against Xiao Chu. He didn't even know where he lost when he played him to death.
As long as she is obedient, she can still be a queen concubine when her emperor's son becomes an adult.
So no matter how much hatred she had, she could only bear it and vent everything on Emperor Chengqing.
"Ah—uh—"
Emperor Cheng Qing's stomach turned violently, and he vomited out all the cold porridge he drank in the morning.
With the smell of feces and urine and the sour smell of vomit, Jiang Fengjiao shrugged disgustingly, looking at Emperor Cheng Qing who was soaked in a pile of filth, she felt that today's anger was nothing, and she didn't bother to look at the unsightly screen, she left with a charming smile.
*****
"what-"
Emperor Cheng Qing was still immersed in the anger of the news brought by Jiang Fengjiao, when he saw a group of strange-looking palace men appearing in his bedroom.
Those people, all with stern faces, fished him out of the pile of filth, then bathed him, shampooed his hair, applied moisturizing ointment, put on clean clothes, and took care of his whole body. some.
Because of his haggard face, those people also took out some women's powder to help him cover up his complexion, making him look rosy, just like ordinary people.
Emperor Cheng Qing couldn't resist the actions of those people, he had already vaguely guessed in his heart who sent them here and where those people would take him.
"Ah-ah-"
He could only growl in a hoarse voice, that unfilial son, how dare he, how dare he.
There is a father who is notorious, is it a good thing for him? Since ancient times, there is no son who judges Lao Tzu. What he did was to be struck by lightning and die. What kind of ecstasy soup did Xiao Chu pour into him? .
But Emperor Cheng Qing knew that he was more panicked, and he knew that this time, he was finished.
*****
On the Golden Luan Hall, the seat of the Supreme Emperor was shoulder to shoulder with the dragon chair. Even if Emperor Chengqing was the subject of today's trial, as long as he was still the Supreme Emperor, he could still sit in that position.
In the court hall, some veterans who experienced the massacre more than 20 years ago looked at the skinny old man next to the dragon chair with complicated emotions. The cruelty and madness in the eyes of the other party made all the ministers sigh in their hearts. .
I'm afraid that until now, he feels that what he did at the beginning was correct, and the only mistake was that he didn't kill all the members of the Yan family.
The person who claimed to be Yan Chu was treated by the imperial physician, and his wounds had almost healed. As his evidence was presented one by one, it became clear what was right and wrong about the tragedy. .
Except for Emperor Cheng Qing's futile moaning and roaring, everyone had a conclusion on the case in their hearts.
"Captain Xiao."
Zongzheng Qingqi looked at the pile of criminal evidence piled up on the table, feeling the gaze of Emperor Cheng Qing, like a light on his back. After all, it is his royal father. Does he really want to judge his royal father in front of the whole world
The little emperor shrank into the tortoise shell, wanting to hand over all this to Xiao Chu.
"Your Majesty, this is just your first step in governing yourself." Yan Chu shook his head, not intending to make a decision for the little emperor.
His eyes just looked at Zongzheng Qingqi lightly, but it brought incomparable pressure to Zongzheng Qingqi.
Zongzheng Qingqi gritted her teeth, the unfinished meaning revealed in Xiao Chu's words was what he had always wanted. He knew that if he chose to deceive the world for the sake of the royal family's face, what would that man think of him
It is inevitable to restore the reputation of the Yan family and let the Supreme Emperor issue an edict to sin against himself.
"Ah-poof-"
How could it be that Emperor Cheng Qing couldn't see the little emperor's compromise, until now, he finally couldn't help it, trembling, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared straight in Xiao Chu's direction.
Take away his country, let him be tortured by his favorite woman, and now let him watch his son drive him into the unforgivable hell.
He let him live just to let him experience more despair that life would be worse than death.
Xiao Chu, he is really poisonous!
