The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 117 The Old Sisters
The Violence Room and the Punishment Department are two places in Emperor Garden City where criminals are interrogated.

Considering that she is a noble concubine and empress, or a lowly court lady and inner eunuch, as long as she commits a wrong thing, most of them will be sent here, and she will be punished and take out real things from her mouth.

Although they are all places where "torture is used to extract confessions", compared with the violence room, the Punishment Department is simply a paradise on earth.

The execution nurses of the Punishment Department usually give the prisoners room to breathe, and the punishments they use are all physical pains, at most they are old tricks like silver needles and fingers, and they can be endured by gritting their teeth.

But the violence room is different.

Just hearing the name gave off a bloody smell.

Most of the people who were brought into the violence room were palace servants who had committed wrongdoing, and very few masters were brought here.

No matter what your identity is, the executioner will use silver needles to pierce many small holes invisible to the naked eye before entering, and then pour salt water on it. In jargon, this is called "elimination of evil".

After "eliminating evil spirits", they were taken to the dark room, and then the real interrogation and execution began.

In the darkroom, the criminal officer is allowed to use any method as long as he does not torture the prisoner to death.

It is rumored that once upon a time there was an inner eunuch who was reported for peeking at a maid taking a bath. The criminal officer interrogated the inner eunuch and refused to accept him. In the end, the criminal officer opened his eyes and hung a burning candle directly above it. The wax was burned out. It was just dripping on the eyeballs of the eunuch, and within a moment, he had done all the tricks.

Concubine Fugui was sent to the violent room by Empress Dowager Zhang. Even though she kept calling herself the concubine of the first emperor, the criminal officials remained unmoved as if they were deaf.

With her scream, the step of 'exorcism' has been completed.

The bloodless wounds on the limbs were soaked in salt water, and the stinging pain was so painful that Concubine Fugui couldn't even stand upright.

Seeing her lying on the ground and dawdling, the criminal officer waved the nine-section whip at her waist, "Don't have those master's faults when you get here! Go by yourself! No one will help you!"

Concubine Fugui gritted her teeth and glared at the judge, spat on his face for a while, the judge was annoyed, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to show Concubine Fugui some flair.

Just about to make a move, Queen Mother Zhang's solemn voice came from behind, "Stop it."

The storm room was empty, and this sound came into the deepest part, and the echoes came out one after another, which was shocking.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Zhang, the criminal officer immediately changed his expression. He bent forward with a sly smile and tried to help Queen Mother Zhang, but was hit hard by the green bamboo, "Take off the dirty hoof, don't dirty the Queen Mother!"

The judge smiled so much that his brows and eyes were squeezed together, "Yes, Queen Mother Zhang, please walk slowly, this place is dark." As Yibi said, Yibi ordered people to light up all the wax lamps on the wall.

Concubine Fugui had a layer of sweat on her forehead, she looked at the criminal officer and sneered, "Dog, why don't you lick her butt?"

"You..." the criminal official wanted to retort, but Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted him with a light raised hand. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Fugui, and said, "Concubine Gui, how long has it been? How long has the Ai family not been with you Speak?"

Concubine Fugui narrowed her eyes and looked at her with contempt on her face but did not reply to her words.

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded, and ordered the criminal officer: "Gui Taifei is inconvenient, help her to the dark room, the Ai family has something to ask her in person."

Today's violent room was filled with the yelling and cursing of Concubine Fugui.

As if determined to die, she scolded all eighteen generations of Empress Dowager Zhang's ancestors.

The servants in the palace and the criminal officers in the violent room all broke into a cold sweat for her after hearing the filthy words, but Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be fine, with a vague smile still on the corner of her lips.

After entering the dark room, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered all the palace personnel to retreat, leaving herself to face Concubine Fugui.

The palace people were afraid that Concubine Fugui would go crazy and do something out of bounds to Empress Dowager Zhang, even if they retreated, they would gather around the door, listening to the slightest disturbance and rushing in as soon as possible.

Empress Dowager Zhang sat opposite Concubine Fugui, and they were silent for a moment before they heard Empress Dowager Zhang called out 'Qing'er' with a short sigh.

Concubine Fugui was stunned, her eyes filled with tears instantly.

Qing'er is her boudoir.

With such a title, apart from the first emperor, only Empress Dowager Zhang would call her this way in the past.

At that time, the sixth prince Xuanling was still alive, Dowager Fugui was a noble concubine, and Dowager Zhang was a queen, but when Empress Dowager Zhang saw Dowager Fugui, she would always call her Sister Qing'er.

The past came to my mind instantly, and when my nose was sore, my heart overflowed with infinite regret.

Concubine Fugui smiled wryly: "If I hadn't believed your sweet words that day and lied to me to be a sister for life, how could my Xuanling have been killed by you!?"

"Even now, do you still think that Xuanling was killed by the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head helplessly, "Since the beginning of entering the palace, the Ai family has been friends with you alone. You know the Ai family, and no one in the Ai family believes it. Whoever blocks the way of the Ai family, the Ai family will do whatever they can, and even take their lives! The Ai family knows that if they want to gain a foothold in the harem, they must use ruthless means, and they must kill first before they are killed. But only you, Only you do so many things that can't be put on the stage, but Aijia endured it again and again, allowing your life to this day, do you know why?" She pursed her lips, and her words were slightly sad, "Because You are my elder sister Qing'er, the only one I have ever called you elder sister in this Emperor Garden city, and you are the only one who has treated me sincerely."

"I treat you sincerely, but you are killing me so much that I don't even have my only child!?"

"The Ai family has never harmed Xuanling. Believe it or not, the Ai family will only say it for the last time in this life, never." The Empress Dowager Zhang said firmly: "You forged the late emperor's edict and colluded with He Enping on the day the late emperor passed away. With the intention of disturbing the state affairs, the Ai family executed He Enping but let you go. You showed no gratitude at all, and then instigated Xuan Chen and Xuan Yan to rebel. People, but ignore you as the instigator. Aijia has repeatedly retreated, but you never thought about it, but it made you make progress. Aijia told you that Xuan Jue is more important than Aijia's life. You moved the wrong Aijia It doesn't matter what you think, but if you want to harm Aijia's child, don't blame Aijia for not thinking about the old sisterhood!"

"Why isn't Xuan Ling my child? You killed Xuan Ling! Shouldn't you let Xuan Jue, the elder brother, come to feed him?"

"You are really confused!" Empress Dowager Zhang scolded, "How old was Xuan Ling when he died? If the Ai family was planning for Xuan Jue's future, they would not harm Xuan Chen, who is the eldest son of the emperor, or Xuan Yan, who was most respected by the first emperor." , but want to harm the yellow-mouthed child under your knees? You look carefully, is Ai's family busy with nothing to do and eat enough?"

Concubine Fugui smiled foolishly, just laughed, and tears flowed down her cheeks, "I knew it wasn't you. I knew it early on." Her voice was so weak that it was as if the tip of a needle fell on the cold ground, "But You can't deny that Xuanling died because of you. If it wasn't for the servant girl in your palace who wanted to take revenge on you, how could she use Xuanling's life to frame you? Why did you still stand up straight in front of me and say that you are innocent! ? Why! Why?"

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart trembled, and she said in a very low voice, "Which child in the palace is not living on the edge of a knife? You can't protect your own child, and you have complained about Ai's family all your life. , has there ever been a time of comfort? Xuanling is dead, and taking your own life, is it worth it?"

Concubine Fugui smiled deeply, "Even if you kill me, I will definitely turn into a ghost! This life, the next life, and every life after life, I will never end with you!"
