The cold and terrifying night was finally over, and as soon as the sky dawned, the door of the room was pushed open by an old woman.
"Princess, please get up and learn etiquette!" Mammy said loudly. Although she was asking, there was no hint of respect in her tone.
Luo Lianyi climbed out of the thin quilt, yawned and got off the bed. Feng Lin had already stood up from the couch and followed Luo Lianyi.
"What kind of etiquette should I learn? Where can I learn it?" Luo Lianyi rubbed her eyes. The area where the needle pricked her arm was swollen, and she cried out in pain.
"It's swollen!" Feng Lin hurriedly showed her.
"Yes! It hurts!" Luo Lianyi cried sadly.
"Princess, please hurry up! The Queen has an order to learn all the etiquette today. Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li are waiting for you over there!" The old nanny urged her impatiently with a straight face.
Luo Lianyi hurriedly followed her, turning left and right to a room. As expected, there were several old ladies waiting there.
"Princess, please learn to kneel down first!" A nun pointed to a chair in front of her and said, "Princess is the emperor and I sit here with your empress. Please kneel down, Princess!"
Luo Lianyi looked around and saw several nuns staring at her fiercely. She had no choice but to kneel down and sing like the song on TV: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old."
"Princess, please raise your hands to the level of your eyebrows!" Mammy said with a straight face.
Luo Lianyi raised her hands and raised her eyebrows.
"Princess, please bow your head to the ground! Still raise your hands to the level of your eyebrows."
Luo Lianyi had no choice but to lie down as she asked. The center of her eyebrows was swollen, and when she lowered her head like this, she felt her head weighing heavily and uncomfortably.
"Get up on your knees and still raise your hands to your eyebrows!"
Luo Lianyi stood up.
"Princess, your posture is wrong, please do it again!" Nanny said.
Luo Lianyi turned around and glanced at her. Without even looking at her, grandma repeated mechanically: "Princess's posture is wrong, please do it again!"
Luo Lianyi had no choice but to do it again. Unexpectedly, after doing it several times, the old woman had no intention of letting her go. She kept repeating it mechanically, asking her to do it again.
"Are you kidding me?" Luo Lianyi finally got angry. She put her hands on her hips and shouted at her grandma.
"Princess, it is the Queen's will to teach you etiquette. If you are disrespectful to your mother, you are disrespectful to your mother. I'm sorry, I will punish you on my behalf!" Mother stood there and said expressionlessly.
"What's that?" Luo Lianyi didn't understand. Feng Lin next to him was shocked and quietly slipped out of the room.
"Princess, please face the north, bend down and hug your legs!" said the nanny. Luo Lianyi followed her instructions, faced the north, bent down and hugged her legs.
"Princess, please don't bend your body!" Grandma was directing from the side like a robot. Luo Lianyi had to straighten her body. Fortunately, she had practiced dancing when she was a child and her body was very flexible. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold on to this movement for more than a minute.
She couldn't stand it. After about five minutes, she looked up and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Princess, please wait for an hour." Mammy still had no expression.
"One hour! Do you want my life?" Luo Lianyi stood up straight and shouted.
"Get on the instrument of torture!" The nun glanced at the nuns next to her and said.
"Here it comes!" The man next to him took out a box from his pocket and opened it. There were rows of silver needles in the box.
"What do you want to do? Lynch me again? I'm going to find the emperor and kill you all!" When Luo Lianyi saw the silver needle, she was so frightened that she backed away and shouted to scare them.
"Hahaha, Princess Princess, do you still expect to see the Emperor at this moment?" A burst of laughter came from outside the room, and as the eunuch announced "The Queen has arrived," the Queen walked in surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Luo Lianyi turned around, stared at her angrily, and said, "Queen, I'm going to Xiling, and I have no conflict with you, so why do you torture me?"
"Humph!" Gao Yan sneered and said, "I want you to know what will happen to Emperor Humei. After three years, you'd better not count on coming back to share the emperor with me!"
"Tsk, who knows what the situation will be like in three years. I don't even know if the emperor can capture Xiling. You are too prepared for a rainy day." Luo Lianyi laughed.
"How dare you! How dare you say such treasonous words? Aunt Zhou will be punished!" The queen was furious and pointed her two-inch long nails at Luo Lianyi's face.
The nuns rushed forward, and the one holding the needle, Nun Zhou, smiled ferociously, pinched a silver needle, and stabbed Luo Lianyi's shoulder.
"Ah!" Luo Lianyi screamed in pain.
The silver needles stabbed her mercilessly. She almost fainted from the pain, and her screams became weaker and weaker.
After Feng Lin sneaked out, he didn't know where to find the emperor. He was guarded by many guards. As a palace maid, he couldn't help but wander around in the corridor anxiously.
An eunuch came towards him, and Feng Lin looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him in the prison that day. The eunuch also saw him, stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Eunuch, help me! Eunuch!" Feng Lin grabbed him and almost knelt down.
"What can I save you?" The eunuch was confused.
"The princess is in trouble. Seeing that she was in prison that day interceding for all the father-in-laws and mothers in front of the emperor, father-in-law, please save her!" Feng Lin was so anxious that tears came out.
"Hurry up and wait for the Emperor outside the Mingzheng Hall. The Emperor should have gone to court at this hour." The father-in-law pointed, Fuchen pointed in the direction of the Mingzheng Hall and hurried away.
"Mingzheng Palace! Mingzheng Palace!" Feng Lin trotted towards the direction pointed by the eunuch.
Panting, he ran to the steps of the Mingzheng Palace. Just as the emperor came out of the palace surrounded by hundreds of officials, Feng Lin fell to his knees and shouted, "Your Majesty, help me!"
Qi Yu was stunned. A little palace maid dared to block the road outside the palace and shout "help". Did she not want her life?
"Bold! Which palace slave are you from? You don't know the rules! How dare you disturb the emperor!" shouted the eunuch next to Qi Yu.
"This slave is the servant of His Highness the Princess!" Feng Lin looked up with tears in his eyes.
"Princess!" When Qi Yu heard about the princess, he hurriedly walked down the stairs and asked Feng Lin, "What's wrong with the princess?"
"The princess was tortured by the nuns in Zhongling Palace! Your Majesty, go and save the princess!" Feng Lin cried.
"This is unreasonable! Let's go!" Qi Yu was furious and strode towards Zhongling Palace.
In the Zhongling Palace, Luo Lianyi was lying on the ground and had fainted. The queen walked over, took out a pill from her sleeve, and ordered Aunt Zhou to feed it. Aunt Zhou took the pill and helped Luo Lianyi half sit up.
One hand grabbed Luo Lianyi's chin, opened her mouth, and stuffed the pill into her mouth. Another nanny brought water and handed it to her. Aunt Zhou poured the water into Luo Lianyi's mouth, and swallowed the pill and water together.
Go down.
Luo Lianyi took a sip of water and woke up. Her lips trembled and she stared at the queen fiercely.
"Sister, you have taken my Nether Heart Devouring Powder. If you don't take the antidote on the night of the full moon every month, you will be like thousands of arrows piercing your heart, thousands of ants eating your flesh, and the pain will be unbearable. Are you afraid?" The queen squatted down.
Lowering her body, her long nails lightly scratched her face.
