Chapter 487: The pain of deceiving comes to an end 35
A chamberlain put his finger in front of the palace maid's nose and tried it, then turned around and reported back: "Your Majesty, you are dead!"
Well, it was less than two days after I came back, and I started. Are you too impatient?
This made Xi Ning angry.
The wet nurse knew that she had made a big mistake, so she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, her forehead turning red.
"Okay!" Xiaoyue yelled loudly: "If the empress hadn't come in time, no matter how many lives you had, it wouldn't be enough to compensate you."
Xining let out a long sigh: "She can't be entirely blamed for this." Instead of falling asleep due to exhaustion, there are many ways to do it, such as incense, anesthesia, and if it doesn't work, take it all together.
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Add two more wet nurses, six maids, and four chamberlains, and they will take shifts."
Knowing that her life was saved, the wet nurse quickly said: "Thank you very much, Madam, for your kindness. Thank you very much, Madam."
Lin'er looks chubby, fair and tender, and has absorbed the advantages of his parents. He will definitely be handsome when he grows up. It would be a shame to die in infancy.
The palace fight came unexpectedly, and the fire finally burned on him. We must find a way to keep Lin'er!
When Xue Pinggui stood up, although he still looked tired, he obviously regained some energy. I see Sun Meiren more often, thinking that when my health gets better, I will revisit the old relationship again.
Xining sent Xue Pinggui away without saying a word about someone trying to kill Lin'er.
After thinking about it, she saw that it was still early outside, so she asked someone to prepare a sedan and went to the Prince's Mansion to have a look.
The entrance to the Prince's Mansion was crowded, except for an old man guarding the door. He was taking a nap against the door with his hands in his sleeves.
When Xi Ning walked in with the palace maid, he was still sleeping soundly, and his saliva was more than half an inch long.
As soon as I walked into the house, I saw everything was withered. Even the flagstones in the front yard had grass growing half a meter high. In just one year, the Prince's Mansion has become like this. The reason is of course that no one is taking care of it.
Walking further inside, not even a servant or maid could be seen. Fortunately, there was a chamberlain who had been here before and knew where the prince's dormitory was. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find it in such a large area, with four rooms in the courtyard alone.
Finally, I arrived at the prince's dormitory. As soon as I opened the door, I heard a "squeak" sound. The room seemed dark and had a cold air.
The tabletop was covered with a layer of dust, and no one had wiped it for at least three to five days.
Further inside, in the inner room, I saw an unusually thin young boy, sitting at the window with a book in his hand, reading.
The chamberlain recognized the prince, but it took some time before he knelt down and said, "Greetings to His Highness the prince."
So the chamberlains and maids knelt down to pay their respects.
The prince, Xue Tianxiang, is actually 17 years old this year, but his actual age is 18 years old. He has been mourning for Dai Zan for more than ten months.
Xue Tianxiang put down the book in surprise and looked at the maids kneeling on the floor. Then he looked up at the only middle-aged woman standing. She was wearing a blue and black coarse cloth dress. She was dressed worse than a palace maid, just like a criminal palace maid from the Clothing Bureau. But she still stood.
Xining smiled: "Prince, I am Wang Baochuan!"
When Xue Tianxiang heard this, he immediately got off the kang and knelt down without even putting on his shoes: "Greetings to the Queen."
Xining slowly sat down on the kang, her voice warm and gentle: "I should be called Queen Mother!"
"Ah, ah~" There were screams outside the window. More than thirty slaves were pressed on benches and beaten with sticks as thick as arms.
And Xining sat at the table, watching Xue Tianxiang eat.
There were eighteen plates of dishes on the table, and Xue Tianxiang devoured them. It looks like he has been hungry for a long time!
Xining said as if she was distressed: "Eat slowly, slowly, and eat less greasy food. Hurry up, scoop up a bowl of chicken soup, put it aside to cool, and don't forget to skim off the oil on it."
Xiaoyue filled half a bowl of chicken soup as requested and placed it next to the prince's table to cool.
Xue Tianxiang looked at the bowl of chicken soup, chewing it slower, and then his eyes turned red.
During this year, Cong Dai Zan committed a crime and was banned, and he was also punished. A month later, he received the news that Dai Zan had passed away due to illness, and he was worried that something would happen to him as well. After all, Dai Zan wanted to bring his father down and help him ascend to the throne.
I was in constant panic all day long, and after a while I felt better when I found that I had been forgotten. But the problem came again. Those slaves saw that he had fallen out of favor and had no backing. One by one, they stepped up and down, serving more and more sluggishly. I used to eat three tea and six meals a day, but now I sometimes eat two or even one meal a day. And every time there are one or two pots of vegetarian dishes, not even a bit of oil or meat is seen.
When I asked, I was told that my monthly salary was cut off, so where would I get the money to eat?
There is no way to complain, and I don't dare to complain. Maybe it is the emperor's intention, otherwise who would dare to do this?
Unexpectedly, Wang Baochuan, who stole his mother's husband, would come to support him during his most difficult time!
When Xining saw it, he immediately said: "Don't be angry, it's those guys' fault, the queen mother will take it out for you."
At this time, a chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince, someone has fainted." This meant that he should be beaten to death, or beaten to death.
Seeing Wang Baochuan looking at him, Xue Tianxiang had been holding back a bad breath for a long time and gritted his teeth: "Kill them all!"
The waiter was stunned and stood there without moving. More than thirty people were all killed with sticks. This matter was too big.
Then I heard Queen Wang say: "Did you hear that? Kill them all with sticks! Why are you still standing there?"
The chamberlain immediately left. Guaiguai, more than thirty people were killed with sticks. Now no one dared to be disrespectful or perfunctory to the prince anymore.
Is this queen stupid or is she so kind that she becomes stupid? You must know that the prince is her son's biggest competitor. If the prince dies or falls out of favor, the second prince is the most likely person to inherit the throne!
In this case... the chamberlain looked at the servants of the Prince's Mansion who were lying on wide four-legged benches all over the yard. Blood was oozing from their legs and buttocks, and they had no energy to scream anymore.
He waved his whisk: "The empress and the prince have orders to kill them all!"
Upon hearing this, there was a cry. The guards who were brought in specifically for execution grasped the sticks one by one and struck them violently. The screams suddenly resounded through the sky, but soon gradually decreased and weakened, and finally disappeared, leaving only the "crackling" of the sticks falling on the flesh. sound.
When you see that the person has stopped moving, you can test whether there is any breathing, then touch the neck or take a pulse. After confirming that the person is dead, roll it up with straw and throw it directly into the mass grave. If you don't bury them in mass graves, wild dogs will come out to clean them up at night.
Xi Ning chatted with the prince for a while, and asked Concubine Shu and Concubine De in charge to send someone to serve them immediately. Yue Yin called over first, and found out where the missing items had gone, and all the ones that needed to be replaced. Make it up. If someone is greedy for ink, they will be confiscated if their house is ransacked. Not a single copper penny is missing!
Concubine Shu and Concubine De were very efficient in handling matters. They immediately transferred ten maids and twenty chamberlains, and sent someone to apologize, saying they were negligent and asked the prince to forgive them.
Xue Tianxiang even sneered. Has he been neglecting it for almost a year? Go ahead and fool the devil.
