Not long after lunch on the second day, Rou Feng carefully entered the house with herbal tea, Xi Helan was lying on the beauty couch with her eyes closed, and the two little palace maids knelt beside her and gave her the swollen tea first. Apply the plaster to the cheeks, and then gently spread the ointment by pinching the shelled eggs.
Rou Feng glanced at the palace leak on the table beside him, put the herbal tea on the small table beside Xi Helan, and said softly: "Master, Concubine Gao asked you to go to Changle Palace in the afternoon..."
Xi Helan hated when she thought of this. She opened her eyes with a "swoosh". Her eyes were sharp like knives, and she shot Roufeng with an incomparable chill. It shattered with a crash, and the cold tea splashed all over the soft wind.
The two little palace maids were so frightened that they shivered all over, knelt directly on the ground and held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.
"I can't tell, you don't understand or are you deaf!" Xi Helan said fiercely, tugging at the wound at the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but "his", covered her cheeks and gritted her teeth, "I I don’t believe that this harem has no royal laws.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Rou Feng, and asked coldly, "I asked you to send someone to quietly deliver letters to the emperor, queen, and empress dowager. How are you doing?"
"The slaves sent people out early in the morning, and there is no news yet..." Rou Feng nodded when she heard the words, and halfway through she secretly raised her eyes to look at Xi Helan's face, and said in a low voice nervously, "Master In this harem, in addition to not daring to touch the queen mother, the queen and the emperor, she can be said to cover the sky with one hand. Furthermore, her father and brother are the emperor's capable soldiers. She has always acted recklessly in this harem, and she has no scruples in doing things. There is a little restraint in the transfer of power, but you are not very rational to deal with the imperial concubine directly."
Especially your status and family background are not worth mentioning at all, Rou Feng added slowly in her heart.
"You son of a bitch dared to teach me a lesson, who gave you the guts!" Xi Helan was so angry, she stared at Rou Feng's eyes and said fiercely, "She Gao Baoxi is just a society that bullies others and pretends to be a bully. Scum, the more afraid of her, the more afraid of her, she is indulging her to be more domineering and arrogant, don't compare me with those stupid women in the harem who dare not speak out, they dare not report her, I dare! This time I will make her unable to eat Walk around!"
"Master, what everyone is afraid of is not Concubine Gao, but..." Gao and the emperor who supported her behind her back.
Roufeng watched her master who had always been calm and rational become so aggressive and angry, she anxiously walked to Xihelan, grabbed the corner of her clothes and tried to persuade her to think again, but Xihelan was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything. , she kicked Rou Feng away with an irritable kick, and interrupted coldly: "Get out of here, I don't want to see you now!"
That kick slammed into Rou Feng's chest, and she instantly became hoarse, her face was pale, and when she heard Xi Helan's gloomy voice, she clutched her aching chest and reluctantly got up and backed out.
When Rou Feng's figure disappeared, Xi Helan closed her eyes and lay back on the couch. The two little palace maids hurriedly got up and started rubbing them.
Xi Helan just fell asleep in such a daze. I don't know how long it took, and suddenly a bustling voice came in from the yard. She frowned slightly and opened her eyes, impatiently and coldly instructed the little palace maid beside her. Said: "Go and see what happened, who is making noise outside?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a few unfamiliar granny wives pushing and shoving a few maids in her own palace. She was startled, and immediately sat up straight, staring at the wives and said coldly : "Who are you, you dare to trespass into the Xilan Palace, and you can't let my people go to me, otherwise—"
"Otherwise what, Lan Guiren?" At this moment, a familiar and arrogant voice came from outside the house.
Xi Helan turned her head to look at the person who came, and it was the maid Xiangtan next to Gao Baoxi. She sneered and walked in leisurely: "Lan Guiren's courage is really not ordinary, how dare you challenge my mother's bottom line, I see that you are impatient!"
As she said that, she squinted at the several court ladies who were kneeling on the ground, raised her foot and kicked one of the court ladies to the feet of Xi Helan to crawl, and continued with arrogance: "I tell you, in this harem Among them, as long as my mother-in-law does not allow it, none of your dog slaves will want to pass the news."
Xi Helan was trembling all over with anger, her almond eyes straightened with hatred, she narrowed her eyes, accentuated her tone to strengthen herself, and scolded sharply: "You are just a little palace maid, even if you are serving in front of the noble concubine, At most, I’m just a more powerful watchdog, but I’m a nobleman named Lan by the emperor, and the master of Xilan Palace, so who gave you the qualifications, even a servant of you dare to come to me and commandeer?”
Xiangtan's heart surged with anger, she was indeed a palace maid, but no one in this harem would give her a third of face, even those concubines who saw her would flatter and call "Xiangtan girl", and this little girl in front of her A foreign noble with no pet and no background, dare to insult her as a watchdog!
She couldn't swallow this breath. She didn't teach this foreign princess a good lesson. In the future, no one in this harem would dare to trample on her
Xiangtan's mouth slowly evoked a sneer, and his eyes were filled with a cold light: "It seems that yesterday's ten slaps were too light, and Lan Guiren hasn't learned to manage his mouth."
As she said that, she directly asked her mother-in-law to catch Xihelan from the couch in front of her, and squeezed her arms to force her to kneel on the ground. From, the old woman gritted her teeth and kicked her two knees fiercely. Her legs were numb, and she knelt down with a "thump".
Xiangtan smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and grabbed her hair to mention it vigorously, and said, "Oh, Lan Guiren, why did you kneel down for me as a servant, I'm really sorry."
Xi Helan's scalp was numb with pain, and her heart was mad with anger, wishing to cut off her hand holding her hair with a knife.
bitch! Such a dog slave who is inferior to pigs and dogs dares to treat her like this!
An uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of Xi Helan's heart. She stared at the sandalwood with a pair of red eyes, as if she was about to eat her in the next moment. She gritted her teeth hard, and the broken A voice popped out of his teeth: "Hello, you are fine."
"It's still stubborn." Xiangtan smiled coldly, raised his hand and slapped her more than a dozen times, only to make her dizzy, and she stopped until she stopped, turning to look at the old women and saying. , "Go ahead, do you remember what the lady asked you to do?"
An old woman graciously moved an embroidered stool from the side and said with a wide-eyed smile, "Sit down, Lady incense sandalwood, and leave the rest to us. In this cold palace for decades, there are countless ways we can torture people, I promise. Don't leave any traces." After that, she smiled, "I just asked Miss Xiangtan to give the ladies a good word in front of the imperial concubine."
Xiangtan raised her eyebrows arrogantly, and said, "Don't worry, after this is done, your benefits will be indispensable."
Afterwards, there was a mournful whining sound from the inner room of the Xilan Hall. The voice was muffled but like a thunderous sound. It hit everyone's hearts heavily, making people shudder. It stood up straight to the forehead, which was really terrifying.
I don't know how long it took, Xiangtan finally left with a mighty person. Before leaving, she specially instructed Roufeng to take good care of Lan Guiren, and remember to report to Changle Palace in five days.
Rou Feng shivered in answer, and after the person disappeared, he hurriedly took a few palace maids to the inner room. As soon as they entered the door, the few people were so frightened that their legs were almost weak, and they walked over with trembling.
In the inner room, Xi Helan exhaled more and took in less. He was tied to a wooden chair with his dying breath, with a water basin and a thick stack of sorghum paper beside him. There were also wet sorghum paper on the ground. He stared at the roof blankly, his pretty face was wet and full of dead white air, he was wearing a apron and trousers all over his body, and his exposed skin was coated with a layer of shiny honey. If you look closely, you will find that The ground and the legs of the chairs were all densely packed with ants.
Rou Feng covered her mouth and almost couldn't help spitting it out, but she used such a cruel punishment.
One of these two punishments is called cover. As the name implies, it is to cover a piece of paper on the face of the person and then wet it, so that it is firmly attached to the face, and then stick a piece of paper to wet it, one after another. Until the person suffocates to death, and the other is called ant bite, which is to smear the person's body with honey, and then pour all kinds of sweet insects such as ants on the person, and let them eat on the person, some even from the ears, nose. When it got into the body, it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable until it was swallowed by insects and ants.
Creepy, chills down my spine.
Rou Feng had always known about these two punishments, but this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes. This scene made her scalp tingle and her heart felt nauseous.
She glanced at the dead master, and resisted the discomfort in her heart while stepping forward to untie the rope, while instructing the maid to prepare water to bathe Xi Helan, who let the soft wind move like a corpse.
This matter spread to the ears of the concubines and concubines of the palace in a blink of an eye. Everyone was terrified when they heard it. They always knew that Concubine Gao was arrogant and do whatever she wanted, but they didn't expect her to be so bold, which made people shudder.
The most important thing is that they all know about it, will the emperor, queen and empress dowager not know
It seems that Concubine Gao's domineering and ruthless are still within the range that can be tolerated by those in power.
Everyone thought so, but they didn't know that the Queen Mother ate fast and chanted Buddha all day long, ignoring world affairs. This terrifying news was stopped at all, and Jiang Zhen originally wanted to take care of it, but she thought of what the emperor gave her yesterday, and finally He still chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. As for Xie Fei, he wished that Gao Baoxi and Xi Helan would fight each other so that he could benefit from the fisherman, so he was happy to pretend he didn't know.
…
For the past five days, Xi Helan has become silent. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, she just stays in the dorm alone in a daze. Roufeng is worried about her mental damage, so she specially invited the imperial doctor to consult, but the imperial doctor only said that she was too frightened , let her take good care of it.
After taking the medicine for three days, Xihelan's spirit was much better. On the sixth day, after lunch, she took the two maids Roufeng and Wenqing to Changle Palace. The imperial concubine didn't see her at all, only called Xiang Tan receives her.
Xiangtan looked at her pale face and smiled smugly, and ordered people to prepare ice cubes and other items in the yard, and let her stand in the sun and make 300 servings of shaved ice.
Xihelan agreed obediently. The sun was hot in the afternoon, the scorching sunlight was baking her skin, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept rolling down.
Rou Feng stood beside her and looked at her distressedly, but Xi Helan didn't seem to be able to feel her sight, and only numbly tapped the ice with a tool.
However, no one knew that under her numb expression, there was a deep hatred in her eyes.
Rough mother-in-law! Sandalwood! Gao Baoxi!
She will not let go of all the people who have bullied her!
The author has something to say: Xi Helan: I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!
Xie Fei: You are not welcome in my underworld :)
