Chapter 78: How Long to Stay in the Palace
"I'm very relieved that you can think so." Concubine De pinched the handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled, "I knew that you were going to enter the palace, so I asked someone to clean up the side hall early in the morning, you go and see what else you need." ”
What else could Ruoyin say, after she got up and thanked her, she followed the slave to the side hall.
When she arrived at the side hall, she found that Concubine De had let the servants pack up properly, and the daily necessities were also available, but she didn't embarrass her.
She said to the palace maid beside Concubine De: "You help me tell Eniang, it's very good here, there's nothing missing, I'll live here." ”
"Yes." After the palace maid answered, she went to report it.
Ruoyin briefly explained a few words to Mama Liu and Qiaofeng.
"I know you feel sorry for me in your heart, but this is in the palace, no more than in our fourth master's house, your every move is a little restrained, especially those things that shouldn't be said, don't say a word, let people hear, it's easy to cause trouble."
Hearing this, Mama Liu and Qiaofeng nodded in response.
When it was time for lunch, Concubine De asked Ruoyin to have dinner together.
The fourteenth elder brother and the seventh princess were there, and when they saw Ruoyin, they all called "fourth sister-in-law" in a regular manner.
For these, Ruoyin naturally responded with a smile.
After eating, Concubine De didn't have an awkward chat with Ruoyin, and smiled gently: "You are pregnant now, and your body is easy to get sleepy, go and take a lunch break." ”
"Xie Eniang is compassionate." Ruoyin smiled back, but she smiled at Concubine De in her heart, and she was a little disapproving.
With such a gentle smile on his face, he is actually a smiling tiger!
The smile on the surface is appropriate, but the tricks behind the scenes.
Ruoyin usually takes a lunch break in the house, and it is all for an hour.
But now she is here with Concubine De, and she slept for less than half an hour before she got up.
As a result, she got dressed, and after washing up, Aunt Cui appeared, and said with a smile: "Sifujin, Niangniang, please come to the front hall." ”
Ruoyin spit mint water in a white porcelain cup, wiped her mouth by Qiaofeng, and said, "Then I'll go for a trip." ”
"Hey, please go this way." Aunt Cui smiled and led the way ahead.
Ruoyin glanced at Aunt Cui's smile, worthy of being the big slave in front of Concubine De, and also a smiling tiger.
After arriving at the front hall, Ruoyin saw Concubine De sitting in front of the black lacquer case.
In front of her was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
And Concubine De is copying and stopping, and from a distance, she should be copying scriptures.
At that time, Ruoyin was thinking, uh...... Concubine De won't ask her to copy the scriptures together, right?
At this moment, Concubine De spoke: "You came just in time, the fourth child told the palace last time, your spine hurts, he is a man who talks less, and he rarely tells me this, I won't ask you to copy this and that, you come to grind for the palace." ”
If the sound answers "yes", then come forward and grind.
While grinding, she was thinking that the fourth master had said that she would tell Concubine De last time that she had a spine pain.
But then I listened to the meaning of the fourth master, like a joke.
She thought it was a joke.
Now listening to Concubine De say this, it seems that the fourth master is not a joke.
It's just that the fourth master definitely didn't ask Concubine De to change the way to punish, but Concubine De blames people for punishing people.
Call her into the palace, and keep saying that she is pregnant, and there is no need to wait, and now call her in a commanding tone.
It's just the first day, how will you live in the future?
I don't know how long Concubine De wants to keep her in the palace?
What if the fourth master finds out that she is not there in a few days?
But before she could figure it out, Concubine De's rather majestic voice sounded in Ruoyin's ears again: "Fourth Fujin, tell you to grind, why are you in a daze." ”
These words made Ruoyin come back to her senses suddenly, and she said apologetically to Concubine De: "It's nothing, I was distracted for a while, and I ask Eniang to forgive me." ”
Concubine De's sharp eyes glanced at Ruoyin lightly, and she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and copied the Buddhist scriptures.
And in the next few days, Concubine De either asked Ruoyin to get up early to serve tea, or grind.
In addition to these, Concubine De is still talking and counting, and there is no other dispatch.
------
A few days later, the fourth master and the king of Zhijun were in the cell of the criminal department.
The cells of the penal department were dark, but not damp.
And it was full of axes, knives, saws, drills, chisels, whips, rods, etc., all kinds of bloodstained torture instruments.
It's creepy to look at.
Of course, there was a fire burning in the iron pot of the cell, and several triangular tongs were inserted into the fire, which were used for cannon burning.
At this time, the fourth master was wearing a navy blue robe and sitting on the Taishi chair brought by the slave.
He played with the jade wrench in his hand, his expression was like a cold star, the bridge of his nose was straight, and he was silent and cold like ice.
And the king of Zhijun sat next to the fourth master, his eyebrows were very thick, and he was slightly wrinkled impatiently.
In front of them were eight male prisoners who had led the brawl.
"Tell me, why do you gather to fight." The fourth master said coldly.
A pair of cold eyes as sharp as arrows glanced at the eight prisoners in front of him.
It was just a simple inquiry, but it made the prisoners present hear an irresistible coldness.
Especially the light in the prison is not very good, and they can't see the expression of the fourth master clearly.
I only know that the dim light, coupled with the fire in the prison, outlines the hard + hard half of the face of the fourth master.
It caused the prisoners to tremble.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the prison seemed to freeze, oppressive and quiet.
Only the sparks in the pot made a "crackling" sound.
After listening to the words of the fourth master, those prisoners didn't know if their teeth were too tight, or they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
One by one, their eyes dodged, and they didn't dare to look at the fourth master more.
Seeing this, the fourth master exchanged glances with the king of Zhijun on the side.
The king of Zhijun understood, and gestured to the two guards beside him, "You guys, give me a thorn whip and whip it hard, and you will definitely whip them to the flesh." ”
"Yes." When the guards answered, they took the stabbing whip from the side.
The whip was made of metal and covered with sharp barbs.
The lethality is far stronger than that of a normal whip.
The prisoners were then tied up in cells and flogged.
Immediately afterward, the screams of the prisoners were heard in extreme pain.
But the guards were unmoved, and wherever the whip went, the skin and flesh must be peeled open and blood dripping.
"Say it or not!" King Zhijun leaned on the Taishi's chair and asked directly.
But when his words were asked, those people still refused to speak, so angry that he ordered again: "Okay, if you don't say yes, then continue to fight, until you confess, kill one by one!" I want to see how hard your mouth is! ”
At this time, the fourth master raised his eyebrows, "Big brother, don't be in a hurry first." ”
As soon as the fourth master's words came out, the king of Zhijun turned his head to look at him in surprise, "What does the fourth brother mean?" ”
Even those prisoners, as if they had seen a life-saving straw, looked at the fourth master one after another.
The heart said that the fourth master looked cold, he should not bear to bear that they were injured heavily, so he came to stop it, right?
