At the same time, another scene is being staged in the capital.

Inside the Cining Palace

Empress Dowager Zhang, sitting behind the bookcase, clutched a note tightly in her hand, forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart, and said lightly to the black-clothed man standing next to her: "Keep looking, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

The man in black only said, "Yes." Then he vanished, only to hear the faint clicking sound from the back window.

In the empty room, Empress Dowager Zhang sat alone and slowly closed her eyes in distraction, as if she could hide the remorse in her heart, and muttered: "If I knew this, I wouldn't force him......"

Then came a long, long sigh.

It took a long time for her to light the candle, light the note, and watch the ashes fall into the pen wash little by little, and then a cruel look flashed in her eyes, and she raised her voice: "Spring words." ”

As soon as the sound fell, the door was pushed open, and a woman in her thirties entered, although she was holding the woman's hair in a bun, but her figure did not look like she had given birth.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked up at Chun Yan and asked softly, "What progress has Liu Jin made there?" ”

Chun Yan shook his head and replied, "I can't be punished, I've already fainted." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang bowed her head slightly, indicating that she knew, and did not speak again.

Chunyan also stood aside, so quiet that it seemed to be non-existent.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang said faintly: "It seems that he doesn't know the specific arrangements ......, in this case, what is the use of a traitor's slave to keep him...... You go......! He didn't say anything, just waved his hand.

Chunyan said, "Yes", then turned around and went out.

Then two palace maids came in, one to change the pen on the table, and the other to replace the tea that was already cold on the table.

There is no need for Empress Dowager Zhang to say a word, they just do it step by step, and at a glance, they know that they know very well about Empress Dowager Zhang's habits.

After Chun Yan went out, he called two eunuchs to go with him to the place where Liu Jin was being held. The rules in the palace do not allow palace people to walk alone in the palace.

Liu Jin is now tortured to the point that he is no longer an adult, and his flesh and blood are blurred all over his body.

After Chunyan came in, he looked at Liu Jin with a very complicated look.

Zhu Zixiao grew up under her watch, and she didn't dare to say that she regarded her master as a son, but her feelings were very deep.

After she stood still, she said in a deep voice, "Wake him up!" ”

The jailer said with a smile: "Auntie, stand back, don't dirty your clothes." ”

Chunyan shook his head and said, "It's okay, go quickly." ”

The jailer would say that, just to pat himself on the back, and since Chunyan didn't mind, the jailer did what he was told.

He poured a bucket of cold water on Liu Jin's body, and Liu Jin's body twitched twice, and there was no other reaction.

When the jailer saw it, he sprinkled a few handfuls of salt on Liu Jin's body.

At this time, Liu Jin screamed and came to his senses completely.

He looked up with a pale face, and finally said to Xiang Chunyan: "Aunt Chun, I really don't know anything......

Chunyan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and said directly: "Since you are begging for death, then I will fulfill you......"

As he spoke, Chun Yan's eyes stared at Liu Jin, and only after a few breaths did he spit out two words: "Punishment!" ”

Liu Jin now regrets it very much, why should he listen to his nephew's pleading and persuade the emperor to go out for a walk.

When Zhu Zixiao asked him to send a letter to the Queen Mother, he knew that he would suffer from flesh and skin, but he also knew that he would be able to go out when the emperor came back.

Who let himself owe, in order to please the emperor, came up with such an idea.

Woe comes from the mouth...... (To be continued)
