Chapter 1177: Splash Ben Gong with Salt Water to Wake Her Up
Fourth master was sitting on the edge of the bed, letting the woman apply the medicine for him.
As soon as I lowered my head, I saw her concentrating on applying the medicine, and her wavy hair was casually scattered on her shoulders.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Ruoyin capped the medicine bottle.
Fourth master withdrew his eyes, gave a faint "um", and sat by the bed to untie his belt.
Then she lifted off the bright yellow brocade quilt and lay down calmly.
Ruoyin got out of bed, blew out the candle with a "huh", and then lay down quietly beside Fourth Master... ................................................... .
The next morning, when Ruoyin woke up, fourth master had already gone to court.
Ruoyin sat up in a daze.
"Your Majesty, you're awake." Banmei lifted the curtain of the bed, smiled and stepped forward to help Ruoyin get up.
Ruoyin let out a weak "Yeah", "Did you oversleep and missed the morning saving time?"
"Don't worry, the emperor ordered Su Peisheng to go to various parts of the harem to say hello. He said that you have been in the imperial temple for a long time and are weak. Today's morning parade will be skipped and the concubines in the harem will be busy." Each." Banmei explained.
Ruoyin twitched the corner of his mouth.
If it was said that she didn't go to bed and stayed in Yongshou Palace honestly, people would believe it.
But she was sleeping in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the fourth master helped her avoid the morning examination. Isn't that so exciting.
However, who knows what is true and what is not in the harem.
It's just that this kind of behavior is undoubtedly very hate-inducing.
No matter how late fourth master was tossing about before, Ruoyin always checked in the morning on time.
But after I went to Taimiao, I got used to not checking myself in the morning, and the biological clock didn't work anymore.
Ruoyin curled her lips, thinking that if she wanted to attract hatred, then she would invite hatred.
It's just this one time, just be careful in the future, don't do this all the time.
Anyway, she didn't hold hatred in the past, so everyone in the harem didn't like her.
When something happens, I wish everyone would come up and step on it.
After getting out of bed, Ruoyin held his lips, and said calmly, "Since Chen Xing missed it, I just happen to meet other people in the harem."
"Aren't there only those concubines in the harem? If you want to see someone, you can just call them to Yongshou Palace. Why go to see them in person? It's too expensive." Liu Nanny said.
Ruoyin curled his lips, and said with a smile: "If I can summon them, I will certainly summon them. It's a pity that there are so many people that I want to summon, but I can't?"
"Is your empress talking about the imperial concubine?" Banmei asked.
Ruoyin gave a faint "Yes", "According to the people in the harem, it seems that the imperial concubine is too sick to get out of bed, otherwise she would not have disappeared when I came back yesterday."
"That's right, she was finally promoted to imperial concubine. If she can go down to the ground, she can't wait to see Yongshou Palace, so how can she hide in Yikun Palace and not come out?" Liu Nanny said.
Banmei smoothed Ruoyin's hem, "That's not necessarily true, maybe she's afraid that your mother will make trouble for her."
Ruoyin chuckled, and said: "It doesn't matter whether she is really sick or fake, I will never forget what she did, let alone how she treated me in the past two months. Therefore, I naturally have to go to Yikun Palace to meet her, and it happens that her child is also finished, which is very convenient."
If the imperial concubine still has children, it's not easy for her to do so, so she has to weigh it carefully.
Because she said that her bottom line is the child, whether it is someone else's or hers.
Now that the imperial concubine has given birth to Si Gege, she doesn't have to worry about it.
"Your Majesty is right, let her see, even if she tries hard, you are not the queen, and you are not the one who has the final say in this harem." Liu Mama said angrily.
Ruoyin lowered his head and stepped his foot into the bottom of the flowerpot.
"By the way, the Empress Dowager is currently cultivating herself in the Ningshou Palace. I heard that the concubines in the harem are going to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager Xian. I just came back from the Taimiao, so naturally I have to pay my respects to this one." She paused slightly, Instructed lightly: "Grandma Liu, you remember to go to the storeroom to pick out more jewelry and supplements, and I will send them to the Empress Dowager Xian later."
The fourth master promoted Xian Huang and Dowager Concubine in order to check and balance the Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager would not be so arrogant.
Then, of course she has to pay her respects to the imperial concubine.
It can be regarded as an empress dowager.
"yes."
"However, before going to see Empress Dowager Xian and Imperial Concubine, I have to meet someone else." Speaking of this, Ruoyin's eyes flashed with hatred.
"Who?" Grandma Liu and Banmei Qiqi asked.
Ruoyin didn't speak, but just took a bunch of silver keys from under the silk pillow.
"What is this?" Grandma Liu asked.
"The emperor gave it to me." Ruoyin put the key in his sleeve pocket, and said mysteriously: "You will know who you want to see later."
After Ruoyin dressed up, she had breakfast in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After finishing the work, she found Chen Biao and handed over the key to Chen Biao.
When Chen Biao saw the bunch of keys in her hand, he was slightly taken aback.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, please come with the servant."
Ruoyin nodded slightly, supported Liu Nanny's hand and followed behind Chen Biao.
Banmei walked behind her.
A group of people walked from the back hall to the back of the study in the west side hall.
When they arrived at the study, Chen Biao only asked Ruoyin to follow.
Because the secret switch of the secret room cannot be known to everyone.
Chen Biao walked to the bookcase and picked a book from it.
The next moment, the entire bookcase was opened, and inside was a relatively dark secret room.
After the bookcase was opened, Chen Biao asked Nanny Liu and Banmei to follow.
Chen Biao lit a torch.
Ruoyin, Banmei, and Nanny Liu huddled together, walking cautiously.
The secret room was pitch black, and Chen Biao lit a torch to see everything around him.
Inside is a wall made of hemp stones.
There are burnt candlesticks on both sides.
Since he couldn't see the road ahead, Ruoyin always felt that the secret room was very long, and if he had to go on like this, it seemed that there was no darkness at the border.
"How long?" Ruoyin couldn't help asking.
And her voice echoed again and again in the secret room.
"It's almost there." Chen Biao replied.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Chen Biao stopped.
And, he lit the oil lamp in the chamber with a torch.
Since she was not Ruoyin's personal servant, in order to avoid it, she waited in the corridor.
All of a sudden, everything around them became water chestnut under the dim oil lamp.
In fact, there is nothing in the secret room, only two long tables and two grand master chairs.
Ruoyin frowned and frowned, because she smelled blood in the air.
I didn't smell this smell when I first came in, but only now.
Just when she wrinkled her nose, she saw a woman hanging in the middle of the secret room.
The woman's hair was messed up like a chicken coop, it must have been a long time since she washed it.
His clothes were also in tatters.
The cloth was bloody and bloody, and the blood stains stuck to the clothes.
Faintly, there is also a rotten smell spreading in the air.
Due to the dim light and the fact that besides being dirty, there were bloodstains on the face, making it difficult to see the real face.
It can be said that there is no good place on the woman in front of her.
Even the wrists and ankles were eaten to death by the chains.
Those rusty irons have been completely embedded in her flesh, and even drilled into the bone marrow.
And behind the woman were all kinds of creepy instruments of torture.
I don't know if it's blood or rust, but it's red anyway.
However, Ruoyin already knew who this person was.
As a result, as long as she relied on the other person's figure and the foul-smelling skin, she was even more sure of who this person was.
Ruoyin sat down on the teacher's chair in the room, and said calmly, "Give me some salt water to wake her up."
Grandma Liu answered "Yes", and then took a spoonful of cold salt water from the wooden barrel in the room and splashed it on the woman's face.
Immediately, some stains and bloodstains slid down the woman's face along the cold salt water.
Gradually, a rather familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
"This is... Qiaofeng?" Liu Nanny's voice was a little surprised.
It happened that Qiaofeng was bitten by the salt water and woke up in a daze.
She opened her eyes to see the scene in front of her.
When she saw Ruoyin, instead of feeling guilty, a smile flashed across her eyes.
The corners of the mouth, which were dry and blood-stained, also rose slightly.
"Why, you came out so soon? The servant thought you were going to stay in the Taimiao forever!"
Ruoyin looked at Qiaofeng indifferently, but said nothing.
Grandma Liu came back to her senses, and was so angry that she poured a spoonful of salt water on Qiaofeng's face again.
Not only that, she also poured a spoonful of salt water on Qiaofeng.
Qiaofeng thrashed in pain.
A face was also twisted in pain.
It's just that there is still a grin on the face.
"Qiaofeng, Your Majesty has always been generous to us as slaves. Whenever someone in our family is sick, your Majesty will never ask for help, and even reward you with money for treatment. Especially you, since Qiaolan's accident, Your Majesty has raised you The monthly money, is this how you repay the empress?" Banmei said.
"That is, even though you are the most straight-tempered and not very careful slave in Yongshou Palace, the empress will still treat you as always because of the old love. You are the dowry slave who came out from Ulanara's house with me. You How could it be like this!" Mama Liu said with hatred.
After Qiaofeng heard this, he smiled dryly on his thin face.
"Hehe...Why can't I be like this, and how can the Empress treat me well? I was originally a dowry maid, and everything I got was taken for granted. Looking around, the harem is better than me Dowry maids can be found everywhere, isn't Zi Qing who is next to Concubine Yu better than me?"
Ruoyin: "..."
"Ziqing's words in Yikun Palace are comparable to that of Concubine Yugui. As long as she says something, those servants will listen to her, even Concubine Yugui. But my empress, how do you treat me? of?"
Qiaofeng looked at Ruoyin with dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
"Whenever I say something, you are always the first to reprimand me, which makes me embarrassed in front of those second-class and third-class servants, and I can't hold my head up. Why is it that I am also a dowry maid, and she is treated so well, but I Even the later slaves are not as good, why!"
At the end, she still glared at Banmei viciously.
And the so-called "later slave" in her mouth is Banmei.
"Don't even think about it. Banmei is much more stable than you. Let alone the queen, even I think she is much better than you. Besides, as slaves, our lives belong to the master, and the only thing we can do is to be loyal." There is a way to go, but what about you? Not only did you take your master’s kindness to you for granted, but you betrayed your master, and you only know how to take but don’t give. When something happens, you don’t find the reason from yourself, and you still blame the master for being partial.” Liu Mammy said.
Qiaofeng smiled and said indifferently: "Anyway, I have betrayed the empress more than once."
Hearing this, Ruoyin, who had been quiet all this time, narrowed his eyes, "Which time again?"
"You must be very curious, why does Concubine Yugui suddenly regard you as an enemy? Haha..." Qiaofeng laughed a few times, and then looked at Ruoyin: "It's all thanks to me. Zhi entrusted her to call the traitor in her courtyard to the Yongshou Palace under the guise of keeping her mouth shut, and asked her to tell Concubine Yu Gui that you framed Concubine Yu Gui, so that she could get a sum of money and leave the Forbidden City to return to the countryside to marry .”
"Besides, I also secretly put poison in her tea. In this way, the maid will directly confess you to Concubine Yu Gui after returning home, and then died of poisoning. Do you think Concubine Yu Gui can not hate you?"
"Who ordered you?" Ruoyin got up and approached Qiaofeng.
"The slave doesn't remember." Qiaofeng replied pretending to be a rascal.
Ruoyin ignored Qiaofeng's dirty face and pinched her chin.
The slender cloisonne nails were deeply embedded in Qiaofeng's rotten flesh, "Say it?"
