Li Bin was kneeling on the ground in single clothes, the cold north wind blew by, and her thin body was shivering.
Concubine Qing held the tea bowl with one hand and the tea lid with the other, gently stroking the tea leaves floating on the surface. She lowered her head and slowly blew air on the floating leaves. The green leaves were blown away by her.
Turn around, take a sip, then put down the tea bowl and stare at the person kneeling below
Li concubine was once hers. As early as when she was in the palace, Li concubine was a dog under her concubine Qing.
Concubine Qing finally knows that if it is not a domestic dog, it is unreliable. When it gets proud, it will bite its owner.
Concubine Li, she was just favored by the emperor for one night, she has no idea how much flesh she has in her body! How dare you ignore her, Concubine Qing!
With a smile on her lips, she said with a crisp smile: "Hey, sister Libi, how do you say that you are wearing so little, kneeling in the wind, and catching a cold when you turn around, don't you feel sorry for me?"
Concubine Li knew what Concubine Qing was doing, and she also knew that she could not defeat Concubine Qing with just one night of favor. Concubine Qing shrank back and said tremblingly: "My queen, please spare me!"
"Spare you? Sister Libi, I really want to spare you, but the palace rules are here! I said to you, sister, the emperor just favored you for one night, but you dare to entrust me to the queen mother.
How dare you delay your greetings! The Queen Mother is kind-hearted, so that’s all. It almost delayed the emperor’s morning session. Don’t you know how those censors came to remonstrate? Ah?”
"Mother, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time."
Concubine Qing's smile suddenly faded, and there was a fierce look on her face, and she said to her left and right: "Concubine Li is an old woman too, why is she still mine? Teach her the rules first!"
You know the left and right, go up and shoot the bow left and right, you will have twenty mouths
Libi's mouth was red and swollen, and she no longer dared to speak.
Concubine Qing picked up the tea bowl again, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Pei is banned. The queen mother asked me to help with this harem first! I just took this job, why don't you do this for me?"
If you don't help your own people, how can I help you? You can't let the emperor embarrass you and the courtiers because of you? So, sister Libin, I can only wrong you!"
Concubine Li endured the pain and kowtowed to Concubine Qing to beg for mercy.
Concubine Qing said fiercely: "No mercy! Come on, drag her down, gag her, and give her forty sticks!"
Immediately, two stout eunuchs came forward, tied him up first, gagged him, and dragged him down.
Concubine Qing said to her confidant Baozhu: "Where's the medicine that ruins the throat? Give it to her later! Hu Meizi is domineering and seduce the emperor with her singing. Let me see how you sing in the future!"
Baozhu asked hesitantly: "But Madam, if anyone asks about it later..."
Concubine Qing glared at her and said, "Silly! It's such a cold day, and she's in the wind, so there's no guarantee she won't get sick from the cold! The disease also caused her throat to break for some reason, do you understand?"
Baozhu suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "I understand, slave."
The dull sound of sticks came from outside the house. Concubine Qing listened happily and showed a satisfied smile.
After only twenty strokes, Libi had already fainted. Baozhu took advantage of her to drink a medicine that would destroy her throat. The medicine was not a mute medicine, but would destroy her vocal cords and make her voice hoarse and unpleasant.
Concubine Li was choked and woke up. Concubine Qing swayed in front of her and smiled softly: "If I continue to fight, I'm afraid your life will be lost. I don't want to be known as ruthless! Since you have already
If you have been punished enough, I will spare you the remaining twenty sticks, and let it go. If you are still so disobedient in the future, you will still have to receive the twenty sticks!"
Li Bin struggled to speak, but she found that the words she tried her best to speak had a very unpleasant sound. She had always been very confident in her voice, and the emperor also said that her singing voice was beautiful, but...but now...she
Her eyes first showed fear, then hatred, and then she stared at Concubine Qing as if she wanted to eat someone. Her eyes looked like they were about to bleed.
Concubine Qing didn't care. She waved her handkerchief and said: "I have to resurrect the Queen Mother, why don't you send Libi back? She has been in the wind for a long time and was beaten again. Listen to her voice.
If she's frozen, send her back to be nursed. Don't freeze her bones too. The emperor might still need her to serve her in the future!"
Concubine Qing said it lightly, but Concubine Li knew that she originally entered the palace as a singer, and the emperor favored her only because of her singing voice. Now, her vocal cords were destroyed and she can no longer sing.
Ge Lai, how could the emperor favor her again?
Two palace attendants came over and dragged her back. She couldn't walk, and her legs, which were so painful that they were numb, left a long trail of blood on the ground.
Concubine Qing walked away proudly, not caring at all about the resentful eyes behind her.
The place quickly returned to calm, and no one noticed that beautiful figure hidden behind the osmanthus tree, as well as the quiet and cold eyes.
