"Come here, drag her down." Si Ningchi turned around and said, "Tattoo the word 'beautiful' on her face and take her to the imperial garden for a walk. I want everyone to appreciate her." p>
Du Zhaoyi's pupils trembled, and he looked at Si Ningchi's smiling expression in disbelief. His back felt cold, and he knelt down in a panic: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was wrong, I know I was wrong!
”
Si Ningchi remained unmoved. Du Zhaoyi threw away the hands of the eunuchs and said with great urgency: "I am the daughter of the governor of the West County! How dare you touch me!? If my father finds out, he will chop off your heads!"<
/p>
Du Zhaoyi struggled and shouted angrily: "Get away, get away! Even the emperor has to rely on my father's hand. I want to be a favorite concubine, don't touch me!"
The furious words of the struggling woman made everyone present change their expressions.
The eunuch next to her was stunned, and she almost broke away her hand. When she raised her eyes and met the empress's cold eyes, she immediately tried her best to push her to the ground and covered her.
His mouth was dragged back.
The mud that was kicked out by the struggle dragged a long trace. Everyone in the courtyard knelt on the ground in silence until they heard the whimpering disappear. There seemed to be some strange movement coming. Some of the new concubines didn't know what was wrong.
.
Until I saw the eunuch who had just left came back with his hands covered in blood, I suddenly understood that he had cut off her tongue!
They had never experienced such a scene before. They were all so frightened that they almost fell to the ground when their bodies went limp. The brave ones nearby quickly supported them. If there was any more trouble, they would be next!<
/p>
"Shen Ting, come here." Si Ningchi raised his hand.
"Empress." Shen Ting lowered his head and walked forward. Before he could apologize, he suddenly saw the hand stretched out. The next second his face was lifted up, and the ugly scar was completely exposed to everyone's view.
.
Shen Ting froze, with a look of fear in his eyes. He should have broken away.
But the moment he raised his face, he saw the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him. Her pure dark eyes looked at him without the slightest hint of disgust.
Si Ningchi turned Shen Ting's face and showed it to everyone: "Who else thinks this face is not good-looking?"
No one among the people kneeling on the ground dared to say anything. Si Ningchi seemed to be finally satisfied. He retracted his hand and raised his lips and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no more, so please come in and sit down, sisters."
In the main hall of Fengwu Palace, the concubines seated there were all sitting on pins and needles, not even daring to breathe.
As if reciting a script, Si Ningchi lectured the new concubines who entered the palace, rewarded the virtuous concubines, and expressed condolences to the virtuous concubines. She looked like a very good queen.
If it hadn't been for what happened in the courtyard just now, they would really have thought that the empress was a virtuous and gentle queen, and that she was a rare virtuous queen.
The new concubines came forward to say hello one by one, which was regarded as showing their faces. Si Ningchi gave rewards in order according to their positions, and then Concubine De and Concubine Xian followed closely and also gave rewards. This was regarded as recognition, and from now on they will be a
Sisters in the palace.
After all the things were done, Si Ningchi also let them go back without any embarrassment.
When the concubines stepped out of Fengwu Palace, they felt like they were surviving a disaster. Walking along the palace road, they seemed to be reminded of Du Zhaoyi's tragic situation.
You must know that among the batch of people entering the palace, Du Zhaoyi has the best family background, with good appearance and figure. Everyone thought that Du Zhaoyi would be the first to receive the favor, but they did not expect that things are unpredictable.
She didn't even see the emperor, and she ended up like this...
What happened in Fengwu Palace spread out, and the queen did not take Du Zhaoyi's life, but she was more ruthless than taking her life.
Du Zhaoyi had bloody scratches on his face, which were words carved with a knife. He opened his mouth and cried silently. His mouth was full of blood and his tongue was cut out. He could no longer make any sound. He was dragged like this unlike a human being.
Parade along the palace road.
"Is the emperor too indulgent of the queen?" In the attic on the top of the imperial garden, Zhao Zongheng was sitting on a straw mat with a tea cup in his hand. There was a figure sitting next to him, with a black brocade robe and a gold thread on his face.
Silver mask.
Who else but the male protagonist can be dressed up like this?
Zhao Yuanzhen touched the tea cup in his hand and looked at Du Zhaoyi who was being dragged down. There seemed to be a dark color hidden in his narrow eyes. He tapped the cup body with his slender fingers and looked at him with a bit of confusion.
Zhao Zongheng.
Zhao Zongheng's expression was slightly indifferent. Compared with Zhao Yuanzhen's indifference, which was indifferent to strangers, he had more of an indifferent expression.
"It's your own fault." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and seemed a little unconcerned.
"Such methods may be intimidating." Zhao Yuanzhen frowned slightly and said: "As a queen, it is best to be virtuous and kind."
"No need." Zhao Zongheng took a sip from the tea cup and said, "She has no intention of taking the back seat. She will do it when the time is right."
"..."
Zhao Yuanzhen looked slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Zongheng and said: "What does it mean that the time is ripe?"
Zhao Zongheng silently raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen: "When the emperor is willing to inherit the throne."
Zhao Yuanzhen: "…………"
He gritted his teeth, put down the tea cup in his hand and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I have said that I will serve your Majesty in this life and have no intention of coveting the throne."
"Uncle Emperor, I'm tired of hearing this." Zhao Zongheng raised his hand, as if he had already expected Zhao Yuanzhen's reaction. With a somewhat boring expression, he still had the same meek expression, and stopped mentioning this topic, looking a little lost.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, he said: "The future is not what she wants, so I am willing to be more tolerant."
"Du Zhaoyi deserves to be killed for his arrogant words, and Du Hanxiu deserves to be punished for his indulgence in women. He has lived so well in Xijun these years, and I am afraid he has forgotten what a king is and what a minister is." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and said with a slight smile:
"Queen, you have done the right thing for me."
Zhao Yuanzhen listened with his forehead raised and said nothing else.
Du Zhaoyi died in her palace that night. It was a life-and-death pain. No one dared to treat her without the Queen's will. She died after she couldn't survive.
Such a lively girl could die at the last word.
If the new concubines who entered the palace still had dreams of being favored and promoted, Du Zhaoyi's death was a very loud slap on their faces, which instantly woke them up.
I thought that the emperor would have some reaction when he learned about this, but I never thought that the emperor did not blame the queen at all. He even heard that even the prefect of Xijun was punished and demoted because of Du Zhaoyi's arrogant remarks.
Once you are involved in this palace, it will not only be your fault, your parents and relatives will also be implicated!
In the silent night, there seems to be some beast hiding in the darkness. What kind of terrible danger is hidden under the gorgeous appearance of the palace?
