Chapter 127 The Rebirth of Black-Hearted Lotus in Ancient Times (4) (1/2)
The person waiting outside the door heard Lin Shiheng's voice and quickly opened the door and walked in, "Your Majesty."
"Throw this woman out, don't get in my eyes."
Lin Shiheng waved his hand and turned his head away from looking at it, as if even looking at the grapes made his eyes dirty.
Mu Qingling looked at him and then at Tao Tao, who was kneeling on the ground, and her expression became a little confused for a moment.
Putao had not slept all night, but after hearing his heartless words, she felt dizzy, as if she had been transported to hell.
When she saw the servants coming forward and roughly grabbing her arms to drag her out, she felt anxious and screamed and struggled: "My lord, don't you know this slave? I am a grape! Yesterday you said to your slave yourself, He wants to take slaves into his room!"
"etc."
Lin Shiheng called the people to stop. Seeing that they were motionless, he frowned and moved closer, taking a closer look at Putao's face.
After reading it, those frowning eyebrows became even more intense.
"Are you a grape? Just one night has passed, why have you become so ugly?"
Putao was happy at first, then surprised. She touched her face hesitantly, as if she remembered something, stumbled to her feet and ran to the bronze mirror in Mu Qingling's room to look nervously.
She also knew that some medicines could make a woman's face covered with red spots, making her look ugly. When she saw that her appearance had not changed or been disfigured, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance was still there, and Pu Tao's confidence became stronger. She knelt back and tried to grab Lin Shiheng's clothes pitifully: "Your Majesty, I didn't sleep all night last night. Maybe my eyes are a little swollen. Please let me After a night's rest, your slave will be as good as yesterday."
"No way."
Lin Shiheng quickly dodged her hand that was about to grab his clothes, with a face full of disgust and no concealment: "Don't even look at your appearance now, with squinted eyes, big and black nostrils, a mouth as thin as paper, and a sallow complexion. Even the peasant women outside are a hundred times stronger than you."
It was the most cruel thing for a woman to have her appearance attacked, especially in ancient times.
Mu Qingling watched helplessly as Pu Tao's tears fell. She was crying like a pear blossom with rain in her eyes, full of grievances.
Her appearance was already on the soft side, and with her eyes red and her head hanging down with tears, she not only looked good-looking, but also aroused people's desire for protection. Even Mu Qingling, who was a little disgusted with her behavior in her heart, looked at Putao. From her appearance, she had to admit in her heart that she was indeed a beauty.
Prince Linjiang, who was standing beside the bed, seemed to be unable to see this beauty at all, and was still chattering: "And your waist, I'm afraid it's fatter than the bucket outside, with your waist." Compared with the ugly appearance, these clothes and jewelry are much better-looking. It’s a pity that wearing such a good thing on your head is just a waste!”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, turned around and asked with great disapproval: "Princess, a girl should look like a girl. Look at the girl next to you, a girl who serves people, she is dressed so richly. What to do grandly.”
Mu Qingling looked at Lin Shiheng almost blankly before covering her eyes with a look like "this woman hurt my eyes".
She paused, then paused, and then again, and then reluctantly responded: "Back to my lord, because you said yesterday that you wanted to bring this girl into your house, she is also someone close to me, so you asked someone to give her a gift." Clothes and jewelry.”
"Wouldn't it be a waste to put these things on her? Hurry, they will be taken back soon."
How could any of the things given to the girl be taken back...
Mu Qingling really couldn't understand why the dignified prince could have such frugal ideas, but he was a husband and she was a wife, so naturally she had to obey.
So she respectfully agreed, and then glanced at Putao, who was sobbing with a thunderbolt on his face: "Then this girl...does the prince still want to take over the house?"
"Such an ugly girl, after taking over the room, will she sleep with me or will I sleep with her? Let her get out of here, I don't want to see her again in the future!"
Tao Tao, who was still crying while posing in the most beautiful pose, was stunned.
The feeling of falling from heaven to hell is nothing more than this.
At this moment, she didn't care about crying in her most beautiful way. She quickly walked forward on her knees and stretched out her hand to grab Lin Shiheng.
"My lord, my lord, have you forgotten what you said to your slave yesterday? This slave just didn't sleep well. Your lord will be back to his original state tomorrow!!"
Lin Shiheng's face was full of disgust and disgust, and he took several steps back, as if Grape's hands were poisonous and would kill him if they touched him.
"Don't come here! If you look like this, you still have the nerve to let me take over the house... Ugh... No, it's too disgusting. Someone, pull me down and hit twenty big boards, and throw it to the outskirts of Beijing for me, no... "
King Linjiang, who gave the order smoothly, thought of something midway. He stopped and turned around to look at Mu Qingling hesitantly, "Since he is someone close to the princess, it is up to the princess to deal with it."
Mu Qingling, who had already made plans for another concubine, responded blankly: "Yes."
"This girl is ugly, morally bad, and wants to seduce me so wantonly. I don't care where the princess sends her, but I don't want to see her in the palace again in the future."
nbs Mu Qingling understood instantly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this girl will be sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, and she will never be allowed to disturb His Majesty's interest again."
Lin Shiheng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the servants who were suppressing the crying grapes, and glared: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Drag him down and beat him!"
"Twenty boards!"
Putao called out sternly: "Your Majesty!!"
King Linjiang was frightened by the sudden female voice and trembled all over. He quickly covered his ears with his hands, "It's so noisy! Add thirty more boards. Once they are finished, the princess will deal with them. Take them away quickly!"
"yes!"
The servants dragged him out obediently. Putao was still begging desperately for mercy after being grabbed by the hand: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's slaves know that they are wrong, please Your Majesty..."
Lin Shiheng chased her to the door and added: "Cover her mouth and beat her at the door of the courtyard, so that all the servants waiting for her can take a good look. What will happen if she looks ugly and tries to seduce me!"
"Your Majesty! My slave, huh, huh, huh..."
Putao, who had challenged the princess yesterday because she wanted to be a concubine, was forced to lie down on a bench, gagged and slapped fifty times.
At first she screamed, but later, when the blood soaked her clothes, she turned pale and lay on the spot with cold sweat on her head, unable to even scream.
The servants still had to serve their master, but they were not called out to watch her being beaten, but the muffled sound of the meat being slapped on the meat could be heard very clearly in their ears.
The main courtyard has never been so quiet. Whether it is the servants in the palace or the girls brought by Mu Qingling from the Hou Mansion, they are all more obedient and respectful at this moment, sitting quietly and doing their own business. , I didn’t dare to make a sound, for fear that the moody King Linjiang would drag him out and slap him in the next second.
But in the room, the instigator was feeding his princess medicine with his own hands, looking as normal.
"I am going to the palace to visit my mother today. Since you are not well yet, I will not take you with me. I will take you with me next time when you are well."
Mu Qingling was drinking the decoction obediently. Hearing these words, he raised his eyes hesitantly and asked, "Wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
Even in a normal family, the daughter-in-law has to go to present her mother-in-law, not to mention that this is the royal family. She has not even met the Queen Mother except on the day of her wedding.
"It doesn't matter. If you are not in good health and can't get out of bed, I, the King, will just talk to the Queen Mother."
Seeing that the soup was finished, Lin Shiheng seemed to have completed some task. He breathed a sigh of relief, put the medicine bowl aside and clapped his hands, "I have to ask the emperor brother, what kind of imperial doctor is this sent?" He said he wanted to treat it this way, and then said he wanted to treat it that way, and even said his medical skills were better than those of the hospital judge. "
He sneered coldly and did not shy away from the people waiting in the room, "You don't know, Princess. Yesterday, Dr. Cui said that you need the flesh of your closest relatives to make medicine. Your unruly third sister volunteered. I admire you very much." She was so courageous that she drew her sword and planned to cut her flesh personally, but before she could do it, Dr. Cui jumped out of nowhere and made misjudgments one by one, saying that there was no need for medicine, just to treat her directly. "
Mu Qingling paused while wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, "Is the prince talking about Dr. Cui Mucui?"
If I remember correctly, he was the old lady's cousin from her mother's side. When he was a child, his family was in trouble, and he came to live in the mansion for some time. At that time, Mu Qingling met him once, and his admiration for Mu Qingrong was simply direct. It was written on his face, but Mu Qingrong always didn't like to talk to him.
Later, when the old lady fell ill and he got older, he moved out of the Marquis Mansion. He heard that he later became an imperial physician and was praised by the emperor for his superb medical skills.
Now that Cui Mu had misdiagnosed and Mu Qingrong was involved, it was really hard not to let Mu Qingling think too much.
"But it's not him. He really can't do anything with his words."
After saying that, Lin Shiheng sneered again: "In my whole life, I have never seen a misdiagnosis by a doctor from the imperial hospital. What the hell is this? Now I have a good idea and sent the prescription he gave me to the hospital for judgment. Look, what do you think the court judge said?"
"He said that the prescription is not the symptom of deficiency as Cui Mu said, but the detoxification prescription. Cui Muke has not mentioned this to me at all."
Mu Qingling tightened her hand on the handkerchief, "Detoxification?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell the princess that you have been poisoned. The court judge said that the poison must be eaten for three consecutive days before it will take effect. It is not easy to put something into the mouth. I thought it should be by your side. The one who serves.”
King Linjiang enthusiastically made a suggestion: "Why don't you push them all out to fight? If you don't admit it, just keep fighting."
When he said this, the girls waiting in the room all stiffened up. Who wants to be beaten? And according to the prince's intention, I'm afraid the poisoner won't admit it, so they will have to be beaten again and again. , and must not be beaten to death.
Although a group of girls did not dare to make a sound or move, they all looked at Mu Qingling quietly, hoping that she would not agree.
Fortunately, although Mu Qingling's face was a bit ugly, she still forced a smile to Lin Shiheng: "They are all the people serving me, so it's not easy to beat them indiscriminately. It's better for me to check first and then make a decision." Bar."
"That's fine. If we can't find out, we can just beat him up and sell him. There are slaves everywhere, and it's hard to keep those who betray their masters."
Lin Shiheng's attitude is so natural. He is the King of Linjiang. He has been pampered by his brother since he was a child. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants. He doesn't care about one or two people serving him. .
Mu Qingling spontaneously made assumptions about his behavior in her heart, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared a lot.
She still believed that the girl who had grown up with her could drug her. Mu Qingling already had a candidate in mind and was just waiting to be questioned later.
So she responded very meekly:
"Yes, I listen to the prince."
"Well, I will leave now."
Lin Shiheng stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and strode outside.
His image has now been elevated to that of the King of Hell in the eyes of the people waiting on him. Seeing him walking out the door, a group of girls who dared not express their anger quietly breathed a sigh of relief and were about to move a little to stretch their stiff bodies. , suddenly saw the luxuriously dressed Linjiang King suddenly turning back.
He stared closely at a girl standing by the curtain with her head slightly bowed.
"You're a pretty girl, but what's the name of the person next to the princess?"
Yesterday when he fell in love with grapes, this girl was standing outside the door and saw the whole process clearly. Now hearing his words that were exactly the same as yesterday, the first reaction in her heart was not the joy of being chosen by the prince, but something flashing through her mind. The scene of being dragged out in embarrassment and beaten with fifty large grapes.
She almost trembled and knelt on the ground, her head lowered and not daring to raise it, "Slave...Slave Shuixiu."
"Water sleeves?"
Lin Shiheng nodded and repeated, looking her up and down with a look of satisfaction on his face: "As expected, she lives up to her name. She is so watery that it hurts to look at her."
The girl was shaking even more violently.
If she remembered correctly, the prince said the same thing to Pu Tao yesterday.
If she hadn't learned from Tao Tao's past experience, she would have been extremely happy to be favored by the prince.
But think about those fifty big boards...
The person above was still asking in confusion: "Why are you shaking? Are you cold?"
Shui Xiu trembled nervously: "Slave...it's not cold."
"For such a beautiful woman, it's a pity to be a girl. If you are willing to serve me, I will grant you the position of concubine."
Lin Shiheng personally bent down, lifted up the water sleeves, and said to her warmly: "Stop kneeling, I feel heartbroken when I see a beauty like you kneeling on this cold ground. Come on, raise your head and let me Take a good look at your face."
The more tender and affectionate he is, the more Shui Xiu is reminded that he was like this to Tao yesterday.
Think again about the civilian girl who was robbed and driven out again...
Although she was good-looking, she was not specially trained to be a concubine. The princess was kind and promised to release these girls who had families outside of home in two years, and also gave her a dowry.
Compared with the fickle and unpredictable prince who can make decisions at any time, it is more practical to go out and get married and be a real wife.
Shui Xiu made a decision in her heart and raised her head with a pale face, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this servant is just a second-class girl. I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to serve your Majesty."
"Not serving?"
Lin Shiheng's face changed instantly, and he let go of his hand and patted himself in disgust: "If I don't want to serve you, I should have told you earlier. It will waste my time."
"Why don't you stand back quickly."
Shui Xiu felt like he was being pardoned, and he quickly retreated with his head lowered without even daring to breathe.
Lin Shiheng, as if he was not the one with the pity on her face before, looked at her up and down with disgust, then turned to complain to Mu Qingling who was watching everything quietly on the bed.
"Princess, look at the people around you."
"The ugly one insists on pampering me, but the good-looking one doesn't want to serve me."
As the mistress, Mu Qingling skillfully and quickly took all the mistakes on herself: "What the prince said is that when I get better, I will choose some beauties to serve the prince."
Her requirements are very low now. As long as she doesn't rob civilian girls or force them illegally, she can accept Yangzhou Shou Ma.
"Forget it, I still like to dig by myself."
Lin Shiheng shook his head regretfully, "But it's really time to tidy up your room."
"Look at the girls around you. Except for the water snake that I just took a fancy to, the others are simply too ugly. And that grape, each one is more abnormal than the last."
Mu Qingling blinked blankly, looked around at the most pretty girls in her room, and hesitated for a few seconds: "The prince said so."
Lin Shiheng then waved his sleeves with satisfaction and went out, sighing as he went out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this king is really stimulated today."
"For the ones outside, if you've finished beating them, add ten more!"
