marry queen

Shen Zhiqiu and Wang Meiren were taken directly to a dark room in Yongshou Palace. The so-called dark room is surrounded by high walls, and only a small door and a small window were opened on one wall. He likes to build a dark room in his palace to hold and interrogate criminals.

Two lamps were lit in the dark room of Yongshou Palace, which could only illuminate a small area around Shen Zhiqiu. The eunuchs tied the two of them and left. Shen Zhiqiu looked up and saw that the Queen Mother Zhou was sitting directly in front of him. There is a lantern on the small table, and the border flag stands respectfully beside it.Shen Zhiqiu's hands were tied behind his back, and he knelt on the ground, unable to move at all. The Empress Dowager Zhou said softly, "You guys are so courageous."

Beauty Wang was so frightened that she could only cry. Shen Zhiqiu couldn't see the appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhou clearly, but he knew that she must be full of pride at this moment. He knelt upright and said coldly: "The Empress Dowager is also very courageous. Dare to do such a thing.”

The Empress Dowager Zhou moved a bit, and the candlelight cast flickering shadows on her face. She snorted coldly, "The Ai family is the master of this harem. If there is anything you dare not do, since His Majesty can't manage it well, you can only do it." The Ai family took care of him for him, but you still haven’t really recruited them.”

"I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants us to confess?" Shen Zhiqiu asked firmly without showing any timidity.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "You guys and I have had a lot of contacts in the past. This time, when the emperor is out of the palace, you are even more blatantly sharing songs in secret. Don't you plead guilty?"

Shen Zhiqiu laughed back angrily, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it."

"The Ai family asked you to recruit yourself to give you a chance to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. Since you are so stubborn, Bian Qi, show him." The Queen Mother Zhou said to Bian Qi.

"Yes." Bian Qi took out a long wooden box from behind, walked in front of Shen Zhiqiu and Wang Meiren, opened it, and inside was a painting, Bian Qi slowly unfolded the scroll, and with the faint light of the dark room, Shen Zhiqiu could see that the person in the painting was him, he was galloping on a horse, smiling vigorously, the painting should be the scene of him going spring hunting with Fu Yi that year.

This painting is obviously not his or Fu Yi's. Just as he was curious about who made it, Wang Meiren at the side exclaimed and rushed forward, wanting to snatch the painting away. Shen Zhiqiu looked at Wang Meiren with a face full of shock. He was horrified, he never knew that Wang Meiren was hiding such thoughts.

Bian Qi quickly put away the painting, and the Empress Dowager Zhou smiled mockingly, and said, "As the emperor's concubine, your portrait is hidden in the bedroom. Even in this situation, you still want to snatch it. Now, what else do you have?" So cunning."

This news was so shocking that Shen Zhiqiu couldn't digest it for a while, and he was a little dazed. He thought that the Empress Dowager Zhou made a false accusation out of thin air, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason. In this way, it really seems to be true. But he was really wronged. If Fu Yi found out about this matter, even if he had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to tell.

Before he could think of a countermeasure, Wang Meiren knelt and moved to the Empress Dowager Zhou's feet step by step, kowtowed a few times, and cried: "The Empress Dowager! This matter was done by the concubine alone, and has nothing to do with Mr. Yunyu , he is also the one who doesn't know, if you want to punish, just punish the concubine and ask the Queen Mother to let Young Master Yunyu go."

Hearing what she said, Shen Zhiqiu closed his eyes in despair, thinking it was over.

Sure enough, the queen mother was very satisfied with Wang Meiren's words, and said with a smile: "Look, what a touching feeling, Shen Zhiqiu, as a man, do you actually have the heart to punish your sweetheart for you?"

Shen Zhiqiu spoke uprightly: "Empress Dowager, please be careful what you say, the relationship between the subject and Wang Meiren is pure and innocent, and there is absolutely no personal affair."

"The Wang family has already confessed, so why do you deceive yourself and others?" The Queen Mother Zhou winked at Bian Qi, and Bian Qi took a confession and showed it in front of Shen Zhiqiu. The Queen Mother Zhou continued, "You Put your fingerprint on this confession, and when the emperor comes back, the Ai family will have an explanation."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't even look at the confession, and stared at the Queen Mother Zhou with cold eyes, "If you want to deal with it, you can deal with it, but if you want me to sign this kind of thing, don't even think about it."

Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to sigh softly, stood up, and said to Bian Qi, "Since he is so ignorant, let's interrogate him until he pleads guilty."

"Yes." Bian Qi put away the confession, turned around and helped the Empress Dowager Zhou to leave. After they left, the dark room became quiet again, only the intermittent crying of Wang Meiren. Falling down, Empress Dowager Zhou probably meant that torture would be used, Shen Zhiqiu would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid, the methods in the palace were always the most dark and vicious, he didn't know what would meet him.

Ganquan Palace has been sealed now, Chen Xiang and others are locked in the room and are not allowed to come in and out at will, Chen Xiang is so anxious that he is on the verge of burning, but there is nothing he can do, Ginkgo moves to her side step by step, leaning his back tightly She, Chen Xiang understood what she meant, and quietly untied the rope on her hand.

Taking advantage of the eunuch's inattention, Ginkgo sneaked out from the back door and ran all the way to Guangyang Palace to ask for help.Concubine Zheng was coaxing her two children to take a nap when she heard the announcement from Kikyo. Impatiently, she put on a coat and sat in the side hall to see Ginkgo.

Gingko wept bitterly and told the whole story, and at the end, she cried: "I beg the imperial concubine to save our young master."

When Concubine Zheng heard Gingko's words, she seemed to have heard a big joke. She rolled her eyes and said, "The queen mother is so old, she just needs to take good care of her life, why make such a fuss, even if Mrs. Chen is right The emperor is ruthless, and he would never do such a thing, not to mention how he looks like he is ruthless to the emperor in the past, only the queen mother can believe this."

"Your Majesty is aware, but now our son has been taken to Yongshou Palace, and His Majesty is not in the palace. Only you can decide this matter, please save Master." Ginkgo kept kowtow.

Seeing that her forehead was scratched, Ji Jiao hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and raised her head to ask what her master meant. Concubine Zheng Gui was very speechless, "If the Queen Mother really kills them both, won't the affairs of the harem fall to the palace in the future?" Alone?"

"Ma'am, shall we go to Yongshou Palace?" Kikyo asked.

Concubine Zheng shook her head, and said to Ji Jiao, "It doesn't matter if I go to the palace, you let Xiao Chengzi take my warrant and go out of the palace to invite the emperor back. Only the emperor can do this."

Ji Jiao hurriedly responded, and Concubine Zheng said again, "Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."

After Platycodon grandiflora left, Gingko was grateful and kowtowed to Concubine Zheng, but Concubine Zheng got impatient and dismissed her.

Shen Zhiqiu and Wang Meiren were taken from the dark room to the Ye Ting Division, where they were locked in different rooms. The room where Shen Zhiqiu was imprisoned was not big, but it was well equipped with large and small instruments of torture. In the room stood four nuns, each with big arms and round waists. It seems that they often do some work of interrogating prisoners.

Shen Zhiqiu was tied to the pillar with his hands raised, and before he could clearly recognize the faces of the four nuns, a whip landed on him. The whips they used were extremely thin, soaked in water, and whipped on his body. The skin was broken all at once, and Shen Zhiqiu gasped, feeling the burning pain in the place where he was beaten, and his face turned pale in an instant.

A nun said: "No matter what master you were before, you have to obey us when you come here. The Queen Mother ordered you to confess truthfully. If you said it earlier, we would spend less effort."

Shen Zhiqiu was in great pain, he bit his lower lip tightly and said nothing, the second whip fell on him soon, he groaned in pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.The nuns were impatient and had a violent temper. Shen Zhiqiu's silence seemed to ignite their violent emotions, and they rounded their arms and tried their best again and again.

After a while of whipping, Shen Zhiqiu was whipped more than a dozen lashes, criss-crossing, and the torn clothes were stained with blood and stuck into the wound. Shen Zhiqiu was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it. Although he was not welcome in the Hou's mansion, but Lord Hou and Mrs. Li have never touched a finger of him. He was raised from a young age with delicate skin and tender flesh, so how can he bear this.

The nuns seemed to be tired from beating and went out to rest. Shen Zhiqiu squinted his eyes slightly, and the figure of Fu Yi appeared in his mind dimly. He called him subconsciously, and then passed out from the pain.

He was woken up by being splashed with cold water. When he woke up, the four nuns appeared in front of him again. Shen Zhiqiu moved his neck, and the wounds all over his body ached. The nuns said, "Will you sign this confession or not?" ?” As he spoke, he patted the confession in front of him.

Shen Zhiqiu raised his eyelids to look at them, then closed them again, ignoring them, the nuns exchanged glances, picked up the splints on both sides and stepped forward, clamping Shen Zhiqiu's hands left and right.Shen Zhiqiu's fingers are long and slender, with distinct joints. Fu Yi once liked them very much, but at this time they can only become fish on the knife and let others slaughter them. When the thread on the splint is pulled, Shen Zhiqiu's heart hurts. His whole heart was convulsed, his head was dripping with sweat, his lips had already been bitten with deep blood marks, the blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping to the ground, and he passed out from the pain again.

Ye Tingsi couldn't see the light of day, Shen Zhiqiu didn't know that he had been imprisoned for a few days, in short, it seemed to be imprisoned for a long time, the old wounds on his body had just dried up, and a few new wounds were added, and he didn't remember how many times he passed out , Fu Yu's shadow in the haze also began to blur, his thoughts gradually became lax, and the pain on his body became numb. He felt that he might not be able to hold on.

Although the Lanling paddock is not far from the capital city, it will take four or five days to get back by carriage. Xiao Chengzi's horse's footsteps are not fast, and it took two full days to get there. He didn't even catch his breath, so he immediately told Fu Wei to go back. save people.At that time, Fu Yi was studying the Turkic map with Prince Rui and several ministers in the tent. When he heard that he dropped the map in his hand, before he had time to explain anything, he rushed out of the tent. Several ministers looked at each other in dismay. , "Send the forbidden army to chase after Brother Huang quickly, and make sure to ensure his safety along the way."

Fu Yu rode the Pofeng Kuaima and whipped it back overnight. As the name suggests, the Pofeng was extremely fast. When Fu Yu returned to the palace, it was late at night.

When Fu Yi came back suddenly, the palace people had no time to tell the Queen Mother. With a livid face, he rode Pofeng all the way to the harem. The sound of the horse's hooves made all the palaces light up. Ye Tingsi hurried away, the expression on his face was very frightening, the palace guards on duty saw this and hurriedly leaned over, not daring to move.

The door of the cell where Shen Zhiqiu was held was kicked open by Fu Yi, and the nuns who were dozing inside jumped up in shock, and turned around to start cursing. Kneeling down, Fu Yi stepped forward and kicked the nearest mammy in the stomach. Mammy was kicked and hit the wall, spurting a mouthful of blood, and died on the spot. The remaining souls were about to fly away. Kneel down to plead guilty, shaking like chaff.

Shen Zhiqiu was still in a coma, Fu Wei looked at him, and he didn't dare to go forward. Shen Zhiqiu was covered in blood, and he could hardly tell which were wounds and which were not. Clinging tightly to his body, his hands were naked and spread out stiffly, his hair was messy on his forehead, his head was wet, whether it was water or sweat, and there was a deep bruise on his lips. Tooth marks, the blood at the corners of his mouth was already half-dried, and he was dying. Fu Yi didn't dare to touch him, fearing that it would break if he touched him. He put his hand under Shen Zhiqiu's nose, felt the faint breath, and his heart hung all the way. landed.

Such a graceful and graceful person, who looks like a banished fairy, he has only left for a few days, and he has turned into this appearance.

Yuan Jiao who rushed over after receiving the news was also stunned. He was stunned for a moment, then carefully changed his voice, "Your Majesty."

Fu Wei's face was as cold as ice, and he said to Yuanjiao and the others: "Come here and untie it!"

Yuan Jiao and the others rushed forward and carefully untied the rope that bound Shen Zhiqiu. Fu Yi took off the cloak on his waist and gently wrapped Shen Zhiqiu around him, but he didn't dare to reach out to hug him. There was almost nothing good on him. I don't know where to touch it, and the slightest touch is painful.But he had to hug him up, and the moment he touched Shen Zhiqiu, Shen Zhiqiu groaned in pain, his brows were deeply frowned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still didn't wake up.

Fu Yi's heart felt like a needle prick, he held Shen Zhiqiu carefully in his arms, and said softly: "Be patient, the pain will soon be gone."

Leading the people to the door, he stopped, and said to Yuan Jiao: "All the slaves who participated in this matter will be executed with sticks, and the whole body must not be left behind!"

Yuan Jiao was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. Some of the nuns of the Ye Ting Division behind them fainted from fright, and some began to cry, but they were quickly blocked by the imperial guards brought by Yuan Jiao. The mouth dragged down.
