On the fourth day of the lunar month, he was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are there no age differences?"
Qi Yixiu glanced at him: "He is ten years old. It will be sold later."
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year should be busy.
In fact, even if Wang Bao's family has some money, it is no more than an ordinary family. With a population of about seventy or eighty, it is almost enough.
Wang Bao, Yu Chan, and Chen Siyi, who was in charge of the flower and thatched cottage, pulled him to the open space behind Fengzao Palace and killed him with sticks.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace would go to watch the execution if they had nothing to do.
Three people were killed with the stick, two of them were from Fuyang Palace. Concubine Feng Shu's face was also humiliated at her grandma's house this time.
Wang Bao was speechless when he was brought here. He had been subjected to all kinds of punishments. Now you just want to die. In order to save his wife, it is not easy.
However, it was not until he was about to be killed with a stick that he listened to the words of the twelfth lunar month: "My lord, you don't know yet, do you? The emperor has shown mercy to your family. The men over ten years old will be cut in half and the women will be banished to the army. These ten Those under the age of 10 are just sold. This is a huge favor from the emperor!"
Wang Bao was slow to distinguish these. He thought there was anyone under ten years old at home? His brother's children
No, that's not right. Why is this happening
He became excited, wanted to scream, wanted to speak, but couldn't.
Yes, he couldn't speak. When he was pulled out of the Criminal Division... he was given a mouthful of medicine...
At that time, he just thought it was the people from the Criminal Division who were afraid that he would die before he could hold up the stick.
Only now did I realize that it wasn't the case. His entire mouth was numb and he couldn't move his tongue at all... Someone was not allowing him to speak!
Yes, now, he can no longer tell the truth.
His eyes widened, but with all his limbs broken, he could do nothing.
He can only be killed with a stick with hatred.
The first person to die was Yuchan. She was a woman and she could no longer hold on after being punished.
I was scared and in pain. I couldn't get enough water or rice for two days, and I was gone within a few seconds of putting the stick down.
Chen Si was also severely punished and is now dying, but he doesn't know as much as Wang Bao.
Soon, the three of them were beaten into a pile of rotten flesh.
He was dragged out and thrown into a mass grave.
The blood stains on the open space were washed away by several eunuchs carrying large buckets, and they were wiped over with large and small brushes.
It looked like it had been freshly cleaned, as clean as every morning.
No one could tell that three people had just been killed here.
Zi Rui and the others looked bad when they came back.
Originally, Shen Chuliu didn't ask Zi Rui to go, but she insisted on going. She also said that if she saw more, she would not be afraid of other things in the future.
I was so scared when I came back that I cried.
Shen Chuliu was amused: "You will be your eldest maid honestly. Why do you need to watch me when I'm here? I was so scared to death. Do you know this time?"
"Master, I am a slave and useless." Zi Rui wiped her tears.
"It's no use. I just asked Yuanxiao to go to the Imperial Medical Office to get you some medicinal materials to relieve shock. Then you can boil the medicine yourself, and then you all have a bowl." Shen Chuliu touched her head: "You, don't force me. If something happens to you, will you be unfaithful?"
Zi Rui shook her head: "I don't know how to do this."
"That's okay, don't cry." Shen Chuliu looked at her funny.
Zi Rui was so ashamed that her master was even pregnant, yet he still came to coax her.
In July, news came that Marquis Jing'an was sending the Crown Prince of Chao and his entourage to the border. The other two members of the Shen family, the crown prince of Ming Dynasty and several officials in the court had already gone to the country.
Princess Ruyi's wedding is scheduled for July 18th, so there won't be much time left.
July is the hottest time in the Imperial City, and Shen Chuliu is carrying his stomach. This year is not as good as last year.
When the baby was five months old, her belly gradually swelled and became noticeably larger.
The person also became hot and dry, and the imperial doctor only said it was due to pregnancy. But because of my pregnancy, I couldn't eat many cold things, and it was hard to put a few icebergs in the house.
Even fanning shouldn't be too much.
Fortunately, the house is still cool and comfortable if people don't move.
But just because I am pregnant, I feel uncomfortable and often cannot move.
Shen Chuliu was really tired. Watching the sun go down, he simply stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
Grandma hurriedly followed. She was getting older and she didn’t dare to ignore it.
Zi Rui and Zi Zhu waited on them, and Yuan Xiao asked Yin Hu to follow.
In the imperial garden, there are cicadas chirping. Although the sound makes people feel hotter, the air is better than inside.
Shen Chuliu walked slowly, looking at the colorful imperial garden. Although it was much hotter than inside the house, he gradually calmed down, which was magical.
Until I was walking, someone came to say hello.
It's Lu Baolin.
Behind her was a palace maid.
"Greetings to Empress Jing Xiuyuan." Lu Baolin lowered his head.
Shen Chuliu shouted and looked over.
Lu Baolin was wearing a light purple skirt that was neither old nor new. She looked average and seemed a little angry.
"Where did Lu Baolin come from?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"Go back to the pavilion in front of you, Empress Yichongyuan," Lu Baolin replied.
Shen Chuliu suddenly smiled: "Tsk, this scene today is really..."
With that said, he passed her and headed towards the pavilion in front.
Yi Chongyuan was sitting with her back to her. It was her slave who reminded her that she got up.
Shen Chuliu held Zi Rui's hand and walked into the pavilion.
"Jing Xiuyuan'an." Yi Chongyuan said.
They are all nine concubines, so calling each other "empress" is a run on the family.
"No need, sit down. I came here because Lu Baolin said you were here." Shen Chuliu smiled.
After looking at this pavilion, I saw that it was not the one where Yi Chongyuan wanted to frame her, but the pavilions in the palace were all the same.
"Lu Baolin, that's a mean-spirited person." Yi Chongyuan snorted.
"How many careless people are there in the palace? It's hard to even think of those people who are careless."
"Jing Xiuyuan is absolutely right." Yi Chongyuan smiled.
"I'm sitting here thinking about this meeting last year, this time the year before last, and this meeting several years ago. After thinking about it, I just feel that I am a fool." Yi Chongyuan lowered her head: "Very stupid."
"Now that I have fallen so deep, I finally understand."
"Aren't you back to your original position now?" Shen Chuliu put his face on his hands and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion. Answer casually.
"It's just that the Emperor took pity on me for having given birth to such a prince. Even though the child is gone, my belly is worth more than gold." Yi Chongyuan laughed at herself: "Since then, the Emperor has never been to my place, and he will never come to me in the future. I won’t come. This is the end of my life.”
"Lu Baolin gave birth to the fifth prince, who is healthy and smart. The Lu family is the leader of the civil service." Shen Chuliu whispered.
Yi Chongyuan was stunned: "Yes, I shouldn't be dissatisfied."
People like Lu Baolin are not allowed to be promoted...
"People are still different. I am different from Lu Baolin, and I am different from Jing Xiuyuan." Yi Chongyuan said slowly.
