next day
Zhao Qinglin woke up faintly, calling softly, "Huiju!"
Zhao Qinglin couldn't help frowning, moved her body, and gasped after she didn't see anyone even shouted several times.
"hiss!"
Her whole body was so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands, especially the lower back. The numb pain made her almost faint.
The couch was a little messy, and there was still a faint scent of mistletoe. Zhao Qinglin's sanity was pulled back by three points, and she gritted her teeth and stood up.
The silk quilt slipped off her body, revealing her bruised and purple delicate body, which was red and swollen.
Zhao Qinglin's brain immediately exploded with a buzzing sound, her body tensed, and the madness of yesterday's scene slowly came to mind.
"ah!"
Zhao Qinglin covered her head and shook it, no, that person must not be her, how could she do such a thing.
But the abnormality of her body clearly told Zhao Qinglin all these facts, she was insulted by three lowly guards!
Zhao Qinglin's yelling quickly called a maid, whom Zhao Qinglin had never seen before, "Miss, you are awake."
"Where's Huiju?"
Zhao Qinglin clearly remembered that Huiju was guarding it, so how could she let three guards enter the door? Zhao Qinglin's eyes were red at the moment, and her murderous intent was immediately apparent.
Huiping lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Qinglin's naked body, and said with a trembling voice, "Sister Huiju accidentally fell into the well last night, and when she was salvaged in the morning, she was already dead, and the servants were sent to wait on the young lady. .”
Zhao Qinglin was slightly startled, Hui Ju died, what happened, she clearly remembered that she was hot and dry last night, and she did such crazy things when she lost her mind, someone must have set her up.
Zhao Qinglin bit her lip, the pain made her calm down and think carefully.
"Miss, Madam, please come over as soon as possible."
The maidservant waited in front of the door to call, and raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qinglin quickly, with a hint of disdain.
Zhao Qinglin's whole body tensed up, and then she remembered that the whole family knew about yesterday's madness, and she even fainted Mrs. Zhao.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qinglin wished she could pass out completely.
Bracing the discomfort between her legs, she changed into a plain long skirt, covered herself tightly, and went to Mrs. Zhao's place with Huiping's hand.
Wherever they passed by, the maids and mother-in-law raised their eyes to look at Zhao Qinglin, as if hesitating to speak, and immediately started whispering as soon as the person left.
Zhao Qinglin gritted her teeth tightly and didn't care about it. She calmed down and probably guessed who was doing the tricks behind her back. Suddenly, there was a monstrous hatred in her eyes.
"Grandmother, Qinglin was framed..." Zhao Qinglin fell to her knees with a thud, her face was as pale as paper, and she gritted her teeth and said a few words, "It must be the princess!"
Mrs. Zhao still has an injury on her back, and it is inconvenient to move, otherwise she will teach Zhao Qinglin herself and lose face to the Zhao family!
"Shut up!" Madam Zhao had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Qinglin, "Let me ask you, the mother's miscarriage smelled the cold fragrance, does it have anything to do with you?"
Zhao Qinglin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to ask this question suddenly, she didn't ask about what happened last night at all, she was caught off guard and her eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look Mrs. Zhao in the eyes.
This moment of humility was captured by Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao understood Zhao Qinglin's thoughts in an instant. Concubine Zhao did not wrong the Zhao family.
"Now there are only two paths in front of you, either you can end it yourself, remembering the love between your grandparents and grandchildren, I will let you enter the Zhao family's ancestral grave, or pack up your things and go to the nunnery immediately. In the future, whether you live or die has nothing to do with the Zhao family. !"
Mrs. Zhao was furious, with a determined look on her face, she wished she could cut Zhao Qinglin alive to get rid of her anger!
Zhao Qinglin was stunned, and subconsciously retorted, "Grandmother, Qinglin was wronged, someone must have deliberately provoked dissension and murdered Qinglin."
Zhao Qinglin didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to find out about Leng Xiang, she was taken aback, and refused to admit it.
"Huiju confessed to you last night, but you still dare to quibble, the Zhao family wholeheartedly paved the way for you, but you did such a thing behind your back, I didn't expect that I underestimated you, my thoughts are extremely vicious!"
Zhao Qinglin's innocence had been ruined, and her reputation was notorious. It was impossible for her to be the side concubine of the sixth prince. She was like an abandoned son.
Zhao Qinglin shuddered, but she didn't expect Huiju, a lowly maidservant, to betray her, and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhao non-stop, "Grandmother, it's Qinglin's fault. . . . "
Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath. She was just probing, but it was actually Zhao Qinglin who did it. "Do you choose by yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
Zhao Qinglin saw clearly the murderous intent in Mrs. Zhao's eyes. At this point, the Zhao family had no place for her.
"Grandmother, Qinglin is willing to go to the nunnery to repent and pray for the Zhao family."
Zhao Qinglin had no choice but to be forced to choose this path. All of today's events were caused by Concubine Xiao. It was Concubine Xiao who took away everything that belonged to her and forced herself to a dead end. I want to get it back.
Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Don't leave this door under the guise of the Zhao family, the Zhao family doesn't have a shameless girl like you, go down!"
Zhao Qinglin burst into tears, her heart turned cold, "Grandmother...."
"Send her down, and send her away within half an hour!" Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, and immediately a nanny dragged Zhao Qinglin away.
When she was going out, she happened to meet a nanny who claimed to be the sixth prince's nurse, and she took the Geng post to withdraw the engagement, without even entering the door, she directly threw the post on Zhao Qinglin's face.
"Your Highness has good intentions, but you don't want the girl to be trampled on like this. It's really disappointing. Let's give up on this marriage. The girl should do it for herself!"
After finishing speaking, the nanny turned around and spat, "Bah! What a bastard!"
Zhao Qinglin could hear clearly, clenched her fists in her sleeves, trembling with anger, wishing to reason with that nanny.
"Girl, let's go!"
The nanny behind her gave Zhao Qinglin a strong push, and if Huiping hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen.
Zhao Qinglin immediately looked back at the nanny who pushed someone, and the nanny pushed him again unceremoniously, "If I were a girl, I would have killed myself long ago. It's not right to leave a good young lady, but I want to learn from you." The sisters in the building are willing to degenerate!"
Zhao Qinglin's face flushed red from the humiliation, but she couldn't refute a word, and turned her head without looking at the contempt in everyone's eyes.
Under Mammy's watchful eyes, Zhao Qinglin only took away a few clothes, and all the extra jewelry was taken away by Mammy, and she was dragged out before she finished packing.
A dilapidated carriage was parked in the backyard. Zhao Qinglin frowned. Before she had time to say anything, the back door was closed. She had no choice but to get into the carriage and stabilized herself before thinking of other ways.
After getting into the carriage and bumping all the way, suddenly there were voices of criticism from the crowd. Zhao Qinglin noticed something was wrong, and opened the curtain to see that this was not the way to the nunnery at all, but a backyard.
The coachman knocked on the door, and a beautifully dressed woman came out of the door, took out a piece of silver from her bosom and handed it to the coachman. back down.
Zhao Qinglin's heart sank, and she had an ominous premonition that she would be dragged out of the carriage by two big men the next moment.
The woman raised Zhao Qinglin's chin, "Miss Zhao is gentle and generous, with a stunning face. Unfortunately, the injury on this face is a bit of an eyesore, but it's okay. If you know how to spend a few taels of money on the young lady who admired Miss Zhao in the past, It's not a loss for Yinzi to have a good time with Miss Zhao, and to taste it."
Zhao Qinglin's eyes widened, her jaw was pinched tightly, a pill was stuffed into Zhao Qinglin's mouth, and she drank another bowl of wine. Choking Zhao Qinglin coughed repeatedly until she was sure that Zhao Qinglin had swallowed it. The big man let go.
Zhao Qinglin's body went limp and fell directly to the ground, clutching her throat desperately with her hands, her eyes full of panic.
She was actually sold into a brothel by a coachman!
The smile on the woman's face faded away, and she glanced at the big man, "You don't need to dress up, just send it directly to the local shop, Mr. Li is still waiting."
After the words fell, without waiting for Zhao Qinglin to react, the big man directly grabbed Zhao Qinglin and carried her upstairs. Zhao Qinglin's body was weak and she had no strength to resist.
Entering the Dizihao room, Zhao Qinglin's eyes widened, and there were seven or eight people in the room chatting and laughing together.
"Hey! Isn't this the noble and elegant Miss Zhao, why is she here?"
The leading man grinned, "Could it be sent to the wrong place?"
"Mr. Li, this is Mrs. Zhao Qinglin, Miss Zhao. I put it here, please enjoy it." The big man said respectfully.
Mr. Li generously grabbed a small handful of broken silver from the table and handed it to the big man, "Thank you for your hard work, take it to the bar for a drink."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." The two thanked each other repeatedly, and then went out.
Zhao Qinglin was in despair. The woman just said was right. The people in the room were all unfavorable bastards from rich families. When they met in the past, Zhao Qinglin would never look straight at her.
Especially this Young Master Li, who is very capable, has countless concubines in his family, and Zhao Qinglin once humiliated him severely, but now that he is in the hands of Young Master Li, what good fruit can he have
Mr. Li clapped his hands, "Brothers, we were blind in the past, but we actually fell in love with such a slut, flirting with the guards, and pretending to be very noble. Pooh!"
"Brother Li is right. No one knows Miss Zhao's reputation. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince refused to marry her even to death. Presumably, he must have seen through Miss Zhao's personality. Who dares to marry such a woman with confidence? "
"Ha ha…."
Several people laughed out loud quickly, and all kinds of insulting words made Zhao Qinglin want to pass out.
The next moment, Mr. Li stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qinglin's arm, and unceremoniously tore Zhao Qinglin's clothes to pieces.
Zhao Qinglin opened her mouth in horror, but couldn't utter a word, she could only gesture anxiously, her eyes filled Mr. Li's mind.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Qinglin was tortured to the point of passing out. At dawn, she was left with only one breath, completely naked, without resting all night, and did not treat her as a human being at all.
Mr. Li put on his clothes, and glanced at Zhao Qinglin who was on the couch with distaste and disgust, "It's nothing more than that, it cost me five hundred taels of silver, bah!"
Immediately, a young master murmured a few words in front of Mr. Li in a low voice, and Mr. Li immediately laughed, "Good idea!"
Zhao Qinglin had an ominous premonition, and after a while, two men subdued Zhao Qinglin, and Mr. Li poured a glass of wine into Zhao Qinglin's mouth.
Zhao Qinglin's eyes widened, it's love medicine!
Mr. Li gave a look, and immediately a young master handed over a cloak, wrapped Zhao Qinglin tightly, and left the room resisting.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qinglin was thrown directly on the ground, and with a stinking stench coming from the tip of her nose, she moved her body.
When I opened my eyes, it was a dilapidated temple, in which dozens of beggars, old and young, gathered, all of them were full of stench.
Young Master Li stepped forward suddenly, Zhao Qinglin shook her head, and tightly grabbed the cloak on her body, Young Master Li sneered, and tore the cloak to pieces with force, exposing her naked body directly.
"Enjoy it!" Before leaving, Mr. Li glanced back, and saw that those beggars had already besieged Zhao Qinglin, as if they had never seen a woman in their life, and couldn't wait.
Prince's Mansion
When Xiao Concubine heard about this, she sighed a little, "The Sixth Prince is really cruel, Zhao Qinglin didn't offend him, and actually used this method to torture people to death."
"That's right, it's been tortured beyond human appearance, it stopped in the middle of the night, and died before dawn."
Hong Xiu recalled Zhao Qinglin's tragic situation and shrugged, but she didn't feel sympathy at all.
But if the sixth prince was angry and directly gave Zhao Qinglin a good time, he chose this method, and Hongxiu's dislike for the sixth prince immediately increased a bit.
"The sixth prince is narrow-minded, so it's not surprising that he can do this. Back then, he wanted to take a disfigured woman as his side concubine, so he just took advantage of it."
Concubine Xiao lowered her head and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "Sixth prince, this person is too insidious, if he keeps it, it will cause trouble."
"Crown princess, I heard that the sixth prince asked to marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family as the sixth prince's concubine. Is there any cooperation between the sixth prince and Concubine Xu Shu in the palace?"
Hongxiu boldly guessed that the sixth prince wanted to marry Zhao Qinglin before, and later the Xu family wanted to marry the prostitute of the Wen family. These are inseparable from the Zhao family, but I don't know what role Concubine Xu Shu plays in it.
Concubine Xu Shu has a good family background, she is one of the four concubines at a young age, and she is favored by the Holy Majesty, so why bother to go through this muddy water
Concubine Xiao raised her lips, "Concubine Xu Shu is naturally jealous of the relationship between imperial concubine mother and imperial father. Although imperial concubine mother has fallen out of favor, she still has a certain status in imperial father's heart. If imperial concubine mother returns to favor, how can there be concubine Xu Shu?"
Only then did Hongxiu suddenly realize, "Concubine Xu Shu has always been quiet before, and she was favored rashly, but she was suddenly dazzled, deeply lost, and gradually lost, no wonder there are frequent tricks behind her back."
Concubine Xiao nodded her head, agreed with Hong Xiu's words, and put down the teacup, "Concubine Xu Shu can be favored, and the Queen Mother's credit is behind it. It seems that the Queen Mother really doesn't like her mother and concubine, so she spares no effort to suppress her."
Concubine Xiao rubbed her forehead, too lazy to think about those trivial matters, she raised her eyes to look at Hongxiu, "Is there any news from your Highness?"
"I'll be back within two months at the earliest."
Miss Xiao nodded.
"Crown Princess, Princess Chaoxi is asking to see you outside the door."
Hongxiu immediately frowned when she heard the words, "What is she here for? Is she here to curry favor with the Crown Princess?"
Hongxiu has a very bad impression of Princess Chaoyi. A mother can count the life of her own son for the sake of profit, so she is not worthy of being a mother at all!
Concubine Xiao said, "Everyone is here, and you can't drive them away. Please come in."
Hongxiu bent her knees and went out to do some work, and after a while she came in towards Princess Yi and knelt down in front of Xiao Concubine.
"Chao Yi has seen the Crown Princess."
Concubine Xiao didn't move, she raised her eyebrows, "I don't know if the princess came to visit suddenly, what's the matter?"
"One is to apologize for all kinds of apologies on Xin'er's birthday banquet that day, and ask the Crown Princess to forgive me."
Princess Chaoyi felt guilty towards Concubine Xiao, and after going through all kinds of things, she completely repented.
"Since there is one, I don't know why the second is?"
Princess Chaoyi took a deep breath, "I beg the Crown Princess to take Xin'er in, and Chaoyi is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay the Crown Princess."
Concubine Xiao frowned slightly, "Young master is your son, but you sent him to this palace, maybe something is wrong?"
Princess Chaoyi said slowly, "Chaoyi's identity has been announced to the public, and she is struggling in Yingchuanhou's residence. She can't protect Xin'er at all, so I ask the crown princess to take care of her."
Speaking of which, Princess Chaoyi kowtowed three times to Concubine Xiao, each time with great force, and couldn't help crying when she was emotional.
When she lowered her head, Xiao Yu saw the bruises on Princess Chaoyi's neck, and when she looked carefully, every time Princess Chaoyi bent down, it was painful, and her whole body was tightly wrapped.
The marks on the neck seemed to be pinched by someone.
Princess Chaoji lived in Yingchuan Hou's mansion by relying on her status as the eldest princess. Although Emperor Xiyue didn't say it clearly, Yingchuan Hou's mansion understood it long ago, so she didn't take Princess Chaoji seriously.
