Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 31 Bloody Disposal
Bang, bang, bang...

All kinds of precious porcelain in the Yanxi Palace became the targets of Zhen's anger. Of course, the unlucky ones were the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground trembling.

The sage's oracle read by Dai Quan just now made Zhen's sense of a crisis for the first time. It came from the person next to her who had favored her for nearly 20 years.

She swept the ornaments in the main hall to the ground one after another, and looked at the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the porcelain shards with anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

In a violent state, Zhen's was no longer as charming as before. Instead, the group of palace people trembled and did not dare to make any sound. Even though their knees were pricked by pieces of porcelain and they were bleeding profusely, they still did not dare to move.

At this moment, a young palace servant hurried in and whispered in Zhen's ear: "The maidservant has already passed the news to the prince. With the prince here, the sage will definitely not criticize the empress too much."

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Zhen felt a little less uneasy.She raised her foot and wanted to go outside, but when she thought of the forbidden order, anger surged into her heart again.

Xu Shi Zhen still had a sliver of reason, remembering the group of palace people taken away by Dai Quan, she coldly ordered the little eunuch beside her: "Yuan Zhen, go and see how your godfather is doing!"

Yuan Zhen bowed his promise, turned around and just left the gate of the main hall, his face changed immediately.

Because he saw an unexpected person: Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu.

"What are you doing? This is the Palace of Yanxi Palace, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

The eunuch guarding the gate stood in the middle of the road, blocking the servants Xia Shouzhong had brought with him.

But Xia Shouzhong took out a bright yellow imperial decree from his sleeve and held it up high: "Decree, please come out, Madam Zhen."

"How is it possible? How could it be an imperial decree?" Yuan Zhen looked at the Minghuang imperial decree in shock and muttered to himself.

It was Zhen Shi who came out first, staring at Xia Shouzhong coldly.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "When did the emperor take care of the Yanxi Palace? Did you ask the saint?"

Xia Shouzhong bowed slightly, and took a step forward: "The surname is Liu, and His Majesty, as the emperor, is the heir hand-picked by the sage and his elders. Naturally, he can manage the affairs of the Yanxi Palace. Your empress should take the order first!"

Although Xia Shouzhong's attitude was very respectful, the tone of his mouth was unquestionable.Zhen bit her lip lightly, but there was no movement for a long time. She looked at the east sky for a long time, but unfortunately there was nothing in the sky except for a few birds.

Xia Shouzhong once again raised the imperial decree in his hand, and loudly proclaimed: "Under the imperial decree, the imperial concubine Zhen will accept the decree!"

"You read it!" Zhen Shi seemed to have all the strength taken away from her body, and said these three words in a low voice.Like a wooden person, there is no emotion in his tone.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. According to the rules, all concubines in the harem, except the Empress Dowager, must kneel down to accept His Majesty's will. Your Majesty is no exception!"

After Xia Shouzhong's words fell, the Yanxi Palace was instantly silent.

In the past 20 years, no one has dared to be so bold in front of Concubine Zhen except for the supreme being in the Huangji Palace.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has never asked about the Palace of Yanxi Palace, let alone announced an imperial decree to the Palace of Yanxi Palace for the first time.

Yuan Zhen still wanted to argue for his master, but he opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't think of a word to refute.

Because the rules of the Great Xia are like this, the emperor issued an edict, except for the empress dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the concubines in the six palaces, without exception, must kneel down to accept the edict.

Zhen Shi chuckled, and looked at Xia Shouzhong mockingly: "It seems that this palace can't escape this kind of humiliation today, so I will fulfill your master's wish."

She knelt down slowly, and said indifferently: "I am the Zhen family, I respectfully invite Shengan!"

Xia Shouzhong didn't seem to hear Zhen's sarcasm, and the respect on his face was wiped away, followed by incomparable solemnity.

"The imperial edict said: The concubine Zhen's moral conduct is flawed, she is arrogant and rude, and she is not strict in controlling her subordinates, which has caused restlessness in the six palaces. Now I report to the emperor and the queen mother to seize the right to assist you in the six palaces. I will be banned for three months and fined for one month. year, as a punishment. Hereby!"

Following the reading of the imperial decree, Mrs. Zhen turned a deaf ear to any crimes or punishments, and just muttered in a low voice to report to the emperor...

Xia Shouzhong handed over the imperial decree, with a respectful expression on his face again: "Your Majesty, accept the decree!"

Zhen raised her hands mechanically, and said in response: "My concubine is in command, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yuan Zhen helped Zhen Shi up, and he could feel Zhen Shi's body trembling slightly.Xia Shouzhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial decree has been delivered, and the servant girl will leave first. By the way, the Empress Dowager asked the servant girl to give her a message. Her old man likes Jia Yuanchun very much, so she will keep Jia Nushi by her side first. Ask the slaves to bring the girl Baoqin who is next to Jia Nushi."

Zhen looked at the imperial decree in his hands with blank eyes, ignored Xia Shouzhong's words, turned around and walked into the hall instead, Yuan Zhen turned his head to look at Xia Shouzhong, just in time to see Xia Shouzhong staring at him coldly, his whole body trembled.

He hastily said: "Grandpa Xia wait a moment, let the servant wait for the mother to rest first, and then bring the piano to the father-in-law..."

When Yuan Zhen sent Xia Shouzhong and Baoqin out of the gate of Yanxi Palace, a maid hurriedly ran to his side and whispered: "The empress fainted, what should I do!"

……

Jia Cong already wanted to cover his ears, but the big Han general beside him firmly held his hands.

The screams were like a curse, stimulating his nerves again and again, making him feel like he was going crazy.

The blood red and the smell of blood in front of him made his stomach churn, his legs began to tremble, and Dai Quan sternly stopped him just as he was about to close his eyes.

"Jia Qianhu, the sage said that you can only be pardoned for trespassing on Fengxian Hall and Jia Nushi's prejudice against foreign ministers unless you have been watching the end of the staff duty!"

Is this a stick?Isn't the penalty of one hundred sticks the same as death with a stick?
It's not that Jia Cong has never seen blood. When Iron Net Mountain rescued him, he even helped kill several assassins.

But the eunuch and servant who beat him to death with a stick in front of him were not enemies who wanted his life with a knife.Even if Yuan Delu and the others are actually his enemies, he would rather the other party fight with him with a sword and be killed by himself than watch the other party be beaten to death with such a stick.

Nine people, four servants and nuns, five eunuchs, including Yuan Delu who had been cursed by Jia Cong, were killed with sticks one after another before his eyes.

Finally, the stone slabs in front of the Huangji Hall were stained red with blood, and the smell of blood rushed straight into Jia Cong's nostrils.When the big Han general let go of his hands, Jia Cong couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the side to vomit.

"Drag down, wash the floor!"

The palace staff of Longshou Palace were extremely efficient. In just a quarter of an hour, the stone slabs in front of Huangji Palace became as clean as ever, except for the bloody smell, which slowly dissipated with the autumn wind.

Dai Quan came to the side of Jia Cong who was lying on the stone railing and kept retching, patted him on the back lightly, and said in a low voice: "The old man, the saint, is teaching you to understand one thing, and he is willing to give it to you." , is what really belongs to you. If you do something, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences!"
