Di Xin's face was cloudy, and he said:

"What a beautiful woman's plan!"

Daji's face flashed with a touch of cruelty and said:

"The king can pass on the decree: if Queen Jiang doesn't recruit her, she will be stripped away. The eye is the seedling of the heart, and Queen Jiang will be afraid of the pain of gouging her eyes, so she will naturally confess.

It can also make all civil and military officials know that the king is punished according to law, and he does not demand that she Queen Jiang. ”

When Concubine Huang heard that she was going to dig up Queen Jiang, she was shocked, and hurriedly said:

"It can't be like this, my lord! The queen is the first match of the king, the mother of the world, and the supreme noble.

Since the rule of the three emperors, the five emperors are the kings, there is no punishment of the queen, even if there is a big mistake, it is only abolished and re-established, and there is no punishment for beheading the main palace! ”

But Di Xin paid attention to it, and immediately ordered the attendants to go to the East Palace to announce the decree.

Concubine Huang begged for a long time, but she couldn't shake Di Xin's attention.

I had no choice but to hurriedly return to the West Palace and inform Empress Jiang.

Concubine Huang, who returned to the West Palace in one step, just saw Empress Jiang shaking her head at the door, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and stepped forward to greet her:

"Queen Mother, my sister is incompetent, that Su Daji has a femme fatale heart, and she offers vicious words in front of the king, saying that if you don't admit your guilt, I will dig you out!

According to my sister's view, my sister will admit it, since ancient times, there has been no harm to the main palace, and it is a big deal that the status is abolished, and it is better than being tortured! ”

Empress Jiang's body was weak, she sat on the ground, covered her face with her hands and cried:

"Virtuous sister! Although what you say is good for me, I know a lot about etiquette and religion in my life, how can I admit this great rebellion, shame my parents, and affect my clan. Moreover, the wife sent someone to assassinate her husband.

There is immorality, corrupt the rules, make my father a disloyal and unrighteous traitor, and I am a lowly person who humiliates the family and loses the family, and I have been notorious for thousands of years.

made the descendants gnash their teeth, and caused the prince to be unable to settle for the succession, and the stakes were huge, how could he be hastily admitted.

Don't say that if you gouge out my eyes, I can't recognize the sword and axe! ”

While the two were talking, the attendant who announced the decree had arrived, and when the decree was announced in public, Queen Jiang shouted "Wronged!" "Fall on the ground and cry.

The attendant asked:

"Queen Jiang, do you admit it or not!"

Concubine Huang said anxiously on the side:

"Queen Mother, you recognize it quickly!"

Empress Jiang lamented:

"Hongu, don't recognize it!"

When the waiter heard this, his face turned cold, and he waved his hand, and the two attendants stepped forward and pressed Empress Jiang's arms, and the waiter stepped forward with a short dagger in his hand and said:

"Queen Mother, your subordinates are offended!"

"Ah——!h

The waiter was stained with blood in front of him, and left with a tray in his hand, leaving only the trembling Concubine Huang and Queen Jiang who fainted with a miserable howl!

When Concubine Huang saw the waiter leaving, she hurriedly called the frightened maids on the left and right to help Queen Jiang to the couch.

When Concubine Huang saw the tragic situation of Queen Jiang, she also lamented the death of the rabbit and the fox, thought about it, and hurriedly summoned Feng Yin to meet Di Xin with the attendant.

As soon as Di Xin saw Concubine Huang and the attendants coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"How's it going, has this slut confessed?"

Concubine Huang stepped forward to salute and replied with a look of grievance on her face:

"Back to the king, the queen has never done anything, she can't recognize each other, and she has gouged out her eyes!"

With that, he lifted the cover of the tray in the waiter's hand, revealing Queen Jiang's bloody eyes

"Ahh This..."

Di Xin exclaimed, a little overwhelmed, and a little unbearable in his heart, after all, he had been in love for many years.

At this time, Di Xin regretted himself, bowed his head and said nothing, feeling very sad. After thinking about it, he looked back and rebuked Dajidao:

"I just believed your words, and I took away a glance at Empress Jiang, but I never recruited it, how can I do it now? It's all about your recklessness. If the officials are not satisfied, do you call the widow to deal with it? ”

Daji's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw this, and she secretly said in her heart: What a non-responsible Di Xin, if something happens, he doesn't want to solve it, but he wants to blame me.

Slowly stepped forward at the moment, and whispered in Di Xin's ear:

"Queen Jiang doesn't recruit her, and the hundred officials naturally say, besides, Jiang Hengchu, the Eastern Bohou, is sitting in a country, and I'm afraid she will have to clear her name.

This matter must be recruited by Empress Jiang, so as to avoid the mouths of hundreds of officials and thousands of surnames, and also to prevent the East Bohou from having an excuse to send troops! ”

Di Xin was silent when he heard this, and his heart was tormented, and he was in a dilemma.

After a long time, Di Xin looked at Daji and said:

"What's the way now?"

Daji looked directly into Di Xin's eyes and said:

"The matter has come to this, one does not do, two does not stop, and if it is recruited, it will be safe and sound, and the king can also show the measure and spare her from dying.

If it is not recruited, the mother of the country will be punished, which will inevitably make hundreds of officials talk about it, and there will never be peace from now on.

For the sake of today's plan, there is only torture, not afraid that she will not admit it. The king can pass on the decree: let the yellow concubine use a copper bucket, put charcoal fire in it to burn red, if you refuse to recruit, the second hand of the queen of the cannon branding. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain is unbearable, don't worry about her not admitting it! ”

The king frowned and said:

According to Concubine Huang, Empress Jiang did not admit that she did not have this matter, and now she is using this tragic punishment to beat the middle palace into a trick, I am afraid that it will also cause discussion among hundreds of officials. If you have made a mistake, how can you continue? ”

Daji chuckled and said:

"The king's words are wrong, and when it comes to this, he is bound to ride a tiger, and he must let Queen Jiang confess. Only by doing this matter can we not offend the princes of the world and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Di Xin thought about it, and then sighed:

"Concubine Huang told Jiang Zitong that if she doesn't admit it again, she will brand her second-hand, and the widow will no longer bend the law!"

Concubine Huang was shocked, she felt bad when she saw Di Xin and Na Su Daji whispering just now, but she never thought that Di Xin would be so ruthless, ignoring the affection of Empress Jiang for more than ten years, and tortured Empress Jiang!

Concubine Huang couldn't help but look at Di Xin in horror, as if she had just met this person, trembling all over, her soul was not possessed, and she didn't know how she got into the frame.

Turning back to the East Palace, I saw that my chest was stained with blood, and her head was covered with a white cloth, and Queen Jiang, who was covering her eyes, couldn't help but fall to her side, hugged Queen Jiang and cried:

"My queen mother, how many wrongs you have done in your last life, offended heaven and earth, and suffered this punishment.

According to my sister's opinion, the queen mother, you will admit it, the faint gentleman now does not care about the affection of the husband and wife, and is deeply confused by Su Daji, and even listens to the slander of the slut, and wants to burn your hands with a copper bucket cannon, if you don't recognize it, you are bound to die in the hands of that slut! ”

Empress Jiang was full of blood and tears, and cried:

"I have never assigned someone to assassinate the king, although my life is on the verge of death now, as long as you testify for my sister in the future, I will be blind to death!"

While the two were talking, the waiter came with a red copper bucket in his hand, and when Queen Jiang saw this, she stopped her tears and closed her eyes without saying a word.

The waiter carried a copper bucket in his hand, walked to the front of Queen Jiang, and said:

"The king's dictation, if Queen Jiang doesn't recognize it, it will be branded second-hand!"

Queen Jiang's heart is like iron and stone, and her meaning is like steel, how can she admit that she is framed for her feelings.

Seeing that Empress Jiang closed her eyes and was silent, the waiter sneered, and immediately stepped forward and couldn't help but say, placing Empress Jiang's hands on the red-hot copper bucket.

"Whew!"

"Ah——!h

Only the burned tendons are broken and the skin is burned, the bones are dry and stinky, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, and Queen Jiang is also fainted to the ground again.

Seeing this, Concubine Huang hurriedly instructed the maids on the left and right to take care of Queen Jiang, and hurriedly left to meet the king.

"The cruel punishment was cruel, and the trial was severe several times, and there was no true love for the assassination. I'm afraid that there will be traitors who communicate inside and outside and frame the queen. ”

When Di Xin heard this, he didn't care whether he framed Empress Jiang or not, and hurriedly asked Daji:

"Beauty, how is this good?"

Daji pondered for a moment and said:

"The king need not be anxious. The assassin Jiang Huan is here now, and he ordered the mighty generals Chao Tian and Chao Lei to escort Jiang Huan into the East Palace, and the two of them asked each other, does Empress Jiang still have a prevarication? This time he will confess. ”
