Chapter 79: Summoning King Yong, the Punishment of Golden Juice
As Mrs. Ji said, the Queen Mother had already thought of this level.
But King Yong is her biological son, and she knows who she should protect.
The Queen Mother's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, her eyes looking through the bead curtain became more and more indifferent.
"What the old lady said is wrong. What does this matter have to do with the son of the Ai family?"
Hearing that she even changed her title, the old lady's face darkened.
He said in a sad tone: "Xu Wen died long ago, leaving behind only a pair of children and a widowed mother. Even if I risk my life, I have to protect Chang Yan's life. The empress wants to put aside the relationship. From now on, I will stop nagging the Queen Mother."
Qiao sat aside and watched, shaking her head in a subtle way.
Mother-in-law is talking in a hurry, and it is not a wise idea to bite King Yong. Regardless of whether Ji Changyan was ordered by King Yong or not, the crimes he committed are irrefutable.
Mrs. Ji stood up slowly, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes. Her grandson's life was at stake, and her aunt was so cold-blooded.
She bowed tremblingly to the Queen Mother. Under normal circumstances, the Queen Mother would have walked over to help the old lady.
But this time the Queen Mother had to harden her heart.
She knew in her heart that her second brother Ji Xuwen died of illness early in life, so the family took a lot of care of the second bedroom. Mrs. Ji doted on Ji Changyan, which was why he developed such an impulsive personality without thinking about the future.
No matter what the truth is, since they are of the same spirit, the Ji family should suffer this for King Yong.
The Queen Mother twisted the Buddhist beads in her hands, closed her eyes and sighed softly: "Shixi, send the old lady and the others back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Guangcai, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, suddenly burst into the palace with a panicked expression and a hurried tone.
"The Queen Mother, something serious has happened!"
Shi Xi quickly stopped: "Eunuch Mu, you must not be rude in front of the Queen Mother."
Miao Guangcai knelt on the ground, Her voice trembled: "Your Majesty, your Majesty issued a decree a quarter of an hour ago. King Yong has been summoned to the imperial prison of the Imperial City."
The Buddhist beads in the Queen Mother's hand fell to the ground, and the wide sleeves of her purple robe trembled. .
"The Ai family is going to the imperial prison."
Shi Xi, the person in charge of the palace, calmly advised: "Queen Mother, this is against the law. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If you go to the imperial prison, the emperor and the Manchu ministers will know about it. , I will definitely be criticized, please think twice.”
Concern leads to chaos. When it comes to King Yong, even if you are the Queen Mother, you almost lose your mind.
The Queen Mother walked down the steps with chaotic steps, held Mrs. Shangji's hand, and lost her indifference just now, and said anxiously: "Mother, Minghong was taken to the imperial prison, will he be punished?"< br>
Mrs. Ji was also shocked.
Prince Yong is a prince, and there is no precedent for a prince to be imprisoned. He is always detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and needs to be tried by three divisions before being convicted.
The emperor's behavior made these people panic.
Mr. Qiao, who had been sitting next to her, keeping quiet and silent, frowned and asked, "Father, can you tell me why King Yong was taken away?"
Miao Guangcai replied. : "The decree did not explain it, it only said that Prince, come over."
Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since it is a summons, it is not a detention. I think the situation is not serious. Queen Mother, the hearts of the Ji family cannot be dispersed. We should think about how to deal with it together. "
Wu got up from the ground and said quickly: "Yesterday, Changyan went out with Qingwu. She must know what happened. Queen Mother, please summon her to come and ask!"
Mrs. Ji He also said: "Yes, the second daughter-in-law is right. We need to understand what happened last night before we know what to do next."
When he heard that Xiao Wu was going to be called over, Mrs. Qiao's expression changed. .
Yesterday, Ji Changyan said that Xiaowu wanted to go to Yucui Building. This building is owned by Yongwang Industry and specializes in women's clothing and jewelry business. Mrs. Qiao didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this.
But it was getting late and Ji Qingwu still hadn’t returned home. Mrs. Qiao sent someone to inquire again. Ji Changyan’s servant replied that the Fifth Miss had drunk some wine in high spirits and was in Yucui Tower. Take a rest in your private room first.
Qiao still doesn't know what happened that night, but the two imperial edicts this morning showed that what happened last night was anything but simple.
Ms. Qiao has long been suspicious, so it would be best not to involve Xiao Wu at this time.
She pretended to sigh and said: "Xiao Wu was grounded because she collided with the emperor. She can't go out now. There are guards guarding the entrance to the courtyard." The Queen Mother said dejectedly: "The emperor sealed the news so well because he was determined. It’s going to be difficult for the Ji family.”
Before the people in Cining Palace could come up with a countermeasure, it was already time for a cup of tea when a little eunuch in blue appeared. door.
Shi Xi recognized that it was Hu Guizi next to King Yong and quickly let him in.
Everyone looked anxiously at the little eunuch who came to deliver the message.
Hu Guizi was out of breath and turned blue: "The Queen Mother, King Yong"
It was about King Yong, and he had such an expression, the Queen Mother urged in an angry voice: " Come on, stop hesitating, what happened to Minghong!"
Hu Guizi cried and said: "Prince Yong fainted in prison."
Something happened to King Yong too.
The emperor's attack was so ruthless that the Queen Mother fell into the throne.
Mrs. Ji asked: "But who was so bold to torture King Yong?"
Hu Guizi said: "Back to the empress, Mrs. Ji, I did not use torture. The emperor summoned me. King Yong went there to be imprisoned.”
Imprisonment?
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the young eunuch with her nails painted with vermilion: "Who is the person who is being tortured?"
"It's the third young master of the Ji family."
Ms. Wu said with red eyes. : "It's Chang Yan"
"The execution scene was very brutal. King Yong couldn't bear it and fainted." Hu Guizi explained.
Just a dozen words frightened Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ji. What kind of horrific punishment could make King Yong, who was watching the punishment, faint from fear.
Mrs. Ji asked: "What punishment was used?"
"Yes, yes, it was the punishment of gold juice."
This was the first time that everyone present had heard of this kind of punishment.
Wu asked hastily: "What is the punishment of gold juice?"
Hu Guizi did not see the execution process, but Duan Mingfeng of the Imperial City Department ordered someone to carry the unconscious King Yong go out.
Only then was he able to enter the prison on the underground floor and secretly take a peek at the scene inside.
The tortured man was completely unrecognizable, and even his human shape could not be seen. His brocade clothes were covered with filth, and his painful and shrill howls resounded throughout the prison.
When he dragged King Yong out, the ghostly screams continued. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain every minute and could not stop.
Hu Guizi was still at the prison gate. When he heard the guard guard casually saying something, he realized what kind of methods were used inside to torture people into either human beings or ghosts in an instant.
“This is an extreme method used when defending a city on the battlefield.”
He took a breath and said, "It's urine and feces mixed with hot oil and poured on people."
Urine, feces, and hot oil.
Nothing is accessible to ordinary people, let alone a young master who grew up with fine clothes and fine food.
Just listening to it, Wu couldn't stand it and let out bursts of sharp screams.
Shi Xi stepped forward and covered her mouth, frowning and said: "Second Madam, I'm sorry, loud noises are not allowed in the palace."
The queen mother's thoughts of going to the prison to see King Yong were immediately abandoned. She did not want to witness such a cruel and dirty scene with her own eyes.
Mrs. Ji felt heartbroken and vomited when she thought of her grandson's shapeless form and covered in feces.
