The execution eunuch obeyed the instructions and picked up the copper basin and poured water on Abi's back. As soon as the water touched her skin, Abi screamed and looked in agony, as if her body was burned by fire.
Mingyu couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Concubine Zhe over and said, "Sister, what kind of water is this? Why is Abi like this?"
This time, Concubine Zhe didn't try to be too pretentious and said, "Salt water."
Once the wound comes into contact with salt water, the original pain will be intensified several times. This is why Abi feels that this flogging is more difficult than before. The salt water pouring on her body at this moment will naturally make the pain worse, making her endure
Can't stand it.
Mingyu said in a panic: "If you do this, will anyone die?"
Concubine Zhe comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the salt water will only cause her severe pain, but it won't kill her. She won't last long."
Abi was in so much pain that she wanted to roll around to avoid the salt water pouring down her back, but her body was firmly held down and there was nowhere to hide. She kept feeling the feeling of having her flesh cut out by countless knives. The pain was almost overwhelming.
She was driven crazy. I don't know how long it took, but she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said: "No... don't pour it anymore, please, no!"
Concubine Zhe ordered her to stop and said, "You are willing to say it, right?"
Seeing Abi gasping for breath, she sneered and said: "Keep pouring!"
"No!" Abi stopped in panic. She absolutely didn't want to experience that kind of flesh-cutting pain again.
Concubine Zhe stared at her and said: "In this case, tell the truth without missing a word, otherwise I will definitely let you taste the feeling of life being worse than death."
Seeing that Abi was silent, she looked cold and said: "Keep pouring!"
There is nothing wrong with life being worse than death. Abi felt like she was being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell. She couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I say! I say!"
Concubine Zhe ordered people to stop again and said: "This is the last chance I will give you. If you keep playing tricks, I will really not be polite to you."
Abi gasped and said, "Second brother... wanted to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. He knew that if he was not well, the master would not take him there, so... he lied to the master and said he was cured."
Mingyu didn't expect it to be such a reason, and frowned: "Why is Yonglian going to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?"
Abi's eyes flickered and she said, "Second brother said that he was really bored after staying in the house for so long and wanted to go out and have some fun."
Concubine Zhe said suspiciously: "Is it that simple?"
Abi nodded repeatedly and said: "This slave does not dare to deceive the master and the Concubine Zhe. It is true."
Mingyu said angrily: "This Yong Lian really doesn't understand the truth. He deceived me just to make fun. After he recovers from his illness, I will definitely punish him."
Concubine Zhe said from the side: "My queen, please don't be anxious. I think this girl has something to say." After that, she stared at Abi who did not dare to look directly at her and said: "I don't believe my second elder brother.
Doing these things just to go to the family dinner, there must be other reasons, say."
"What the slave said is true, your Majesty..." Abi was interrupted by Concubine Zhe just in the middle of her sentence, "Didn't you just say that you had no knowledge of this? Abi, if you are smart, you can
Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise I will really be rude to you."
Concubine Zhe's sinister words made Abi tremble all over. She didn't want to reveal Yonglian's biggest secret, but she was also afraid of the kind of maddening pain. The inner conflict between heaven and man was difficult to measure.
"Don't tell me? Okay!" After hearing Concubine Zhe's words, Abi knew that she must torture herself again. Fear suddenly bound her to the point of suffocation. She couldn't think, and her lips opened uncontrollably.
Co-author, by the time she reacted, it was already too late!
"The reason why the second elder brother wants to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is because he wants to see Concubine Xian. He said that he has sworn not to see Concubine Xian privately, so he can only meet occasionally during the family banquet. He doesn't want to miss it because of illness.
.”
Mingyu stood there with a pale face, and Nala Xianyue, like a lingering ghost, always entangled between her and Yonglian, driving a wedge between their mother and son.
And Yonglian, after she told him so much, why couldn't he listen, lying to Nala Xianyue again and again, and breaking her heart again and again.
Concubine Zhe glanced at Mingyu's face and smiled secretly in her heart. She had already achieved so much before the main show even started. It seemed that even God wanted to kill this bitch Concubine Xian.
Concubine Zhe sighed hypocritically: "Second brother is really confused. How could he do such a stupid thing? If he had been obedient and took medicine on time, how could he be like this? This child is good in other places, but he can't recognize people well.
I believe Concubine Xian, I don’t know how many losses I have to suffer before I understand your painstaking efforts.”
Xiao Qizi whispered: "Master, I remember that Concubine Xian came to see the second elder brother the day before yesterday. Could it be that at that time, she encouraged the second elder brother to do this?"
Concubine Zhe suddenly said: "Yes, I have forgotten this. The empress kindly asked her to visit the second elder brother, but she actually did these tricks in secret. It is really too much."
When Abi heard this, she ignored the pain on her back and said hurriedly: "No, Concubine Xian has not said these words to the second elder brother. She also wants the second elder brother to rest and recuperate."
Concubine Zhe ignored her, knelt down and said to Mingyu, "It's all my fault. I didn't speak for her at that time, which gave her a chance to see the second elder brother. I deserve to be punished. Please punish me."
Mingyu said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Everything is caused by Concubine Xian secretly doing these disgusting things. I will definitely not let her off lightly this time!" After that, Mingyu
Just as she was about to walk out, Concubine Zhe quickly held her back and said, "Madam, don't get excited. We'll wait until the second elder brother's condition stabilizes."
As soon as Concubine Zhe finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and the palace servants rushed out. After a hurried salute, they said: "Master, the second elder brother suddenly coughed violently and vomited all the medicine he just took.
It’s out, go and have a look.”
"Yong Lian!" Mingyu exclaimed and walked in quickly. When he entered, he saw that the bed was in a mess, with medicinal juice everywhere, and a palace maid was wiping the stains on Yong Lian's lips. As for Yong Lian's lips,
Yong Lian closed his eyes tightly and his face looked even redder than before.
Mingyu rushed to the bed, patted Yonglian's hot cheek and said, "Yonglian, how are you? Don't scare the emperor!"
No matter how he screamed, Yonglian never opened his eyes. Mingyu cried in panic and said at a loss: "What should I do? What should I do now?"
"My dear, don't worry." Concubine Zhe comforted her, "The most important thing right now is to ask the imperial doctor to come over and treat the second elder brother."
Mingyu seemed to have found the backbone, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Imperial Physician, Jin Qiu, go to Imperial Hospital quickly and send all the Imperial Physicians to me, quickly!"
Jinqiu did not dare to neglect and rushed over. The imperial doctor learned that the second elder brother was seriously ill and dared to come in a hurry. Zhou Minghua and Song Zihua were among them.
