Chapter 15

"Besides, what else do you know?"

"Back to Eunuch Liang, I don't know." She lowered her eyes and said, "I really don't know why my aunt is like this. When I first came..."

Speaking of this, her voice changed from hesitation to firmness: "When I first came, my aunt said that she would leave the palace to get married at the end of September, no matter what, she shouldn't do this. Please also ask Eunuch Liang to check the details and return aunt A clean one."

Liang Jiugong laughed, he didn't care why Dai Jiashi died.

He just smiled: "I want to know where the poison in her hand came from."

"I do not know."

Liang Jiugong laughed: "Take her down and wake up."

There was a dull sound of boards slapping on the flesh, and the cloth was stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't even utter a sound of begging for mercy.

One person suffered ten boards and was about to go to the second round when little Eunuch Meng came in and whispered in Liang Jiugong's ear: "The emperor has returned to the palace."

In order to cut San Francisco, Kangxi went to court very frequently in recent years, changing the previous system of going to court only once in ten days.

Liang Jiugong was the great eunuch next to Kangxi, and he had to go through his hands everywhere.

After Kangxi came to court, he found time to take care of this matter.

Now that Kangxi has already descended, he naturally has to go back and wait.

He glanced at the imperial table, lowered his eyes and said, "The servant is late."

Kangxi glanced at him and said nothing, looked at the memorial on the table, stepped out, and headed for the Compassionate Peace Palace.

Liang Jiugong followed closely behind.

Kangxi walked for a while, and suddenly said: "There was an offer from the Fucha family before, who wanted to exchange military merits for a marriage, and I have already promised him."

Liang Jiugong's expression froze, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, Long Live Lord said this before, and the slaves remembered it. I have already asked for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am waiting to take over her work."

Kangxi said casually: "Yesterday they were asked to choose a good day and auspicious day for the crown prince. I just remembered that I plan to do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for the prince."

He paused: "The prince's biological mother died early, so I naturally have to think more about him."

"After all, she is someone close to me, so I will reward her with two pieces of Sichuan embroidery, one dendrobium of pearls, and 200 taels of silver as an extra, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle it."

Liang Jiugong hesitated for a moment.

Kangxi stopped, turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Liang Jiugong knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he said: "The palace maid drank poison, and she went there at night, but she couldn't be rescued."

"That's it." Kangxi sighed, walked a few steps, and said again, "Then send her body back, let her family bury it properly, and send the dowry according to the number, and use it as an envoy for the funeral."

"Long Live Lord is kind." Liang Jiugong replied.

Kangxi thought for a while, and added a few more words: "Life and death, misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable for ordinary people. Those who are in the same palace as her will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver for comfort."

He murmured to himself: "Just accumulate blessings for the prince."

Liang Jiugong agreed, and when Kangxi entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he asked Eunuch Meng to return to Qianqing Palace to stop the punishment.

The hairlines of the three were sweaty and hungry. Chen Jiayi threw herself into Ma Jiarongrong's arms trembling and crying, while Umalu knelt and sat silently.

Little Eunuch Meng took a look, with a bit of sympathy in his expression, he said in his mouth: "Hurry up and go to rest, for a while, the emperor will employ someone."

The others are all gone, and everyone is back.

Umalu brought in water for the three of them to wipe their bodies, and when they wiped their legs that had been beaten fifteen times, they couldn't help shivering.

It hurts, but it hurts too much.

All three had tears in their eyes.

Ma Jiarongrong comforted in a low voice: "Think about it, let's save our lives for the time being."

Chen Jiayi cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. After Ma Jiarongrong wiped herself, she put on her inner clothes and wiped Chen Jiayi's body again.

Umalu said nothing.

She works in silence.

Today's punishment—it's nothing to be beaten, it's just pain.When she began to "paste and add officials" later, one after another wet paper was pasted on her face, she couldn't breathe, and suspected that she was about to die of suffocation, she finally realized clearly.

This is not the time traveler in novels, TV dramas or movies. With a golden finger, he can kill all directions, he can ignore all the feudal etiquette in the current society, and he can always resolve all kinds of tribulations just right.

This is a feudal era, where imperial power is supreme.

Therefore, Liang Jiugong, who served the emperor, could punish them indiscriminately.

This is not her era, not her society, nor the company she thought it was. There are no human rights and laws here, only the contempt and trampling of people by the supreme power.

At the moment when she was about to die of suffocation, she was absolutely sure that even if she was beaten to death and buried in the palace, no one would speak up for her.

She thought that what the aunts told her was right.

She has to be cautious and honest in the palace.Only in this way will the damage be minimized.However, even so, it is inevitable to be implicated.

A doubt arose in her heart, what should she do?
In her time, the cruelest thing she could experience was being scapegoated by her colleagues, oppressed by her boss, scolded by her parents, and rejected by her friends.

At that time, she made a big deal and walked away.

But now?

Where can she go?

she does not know.

She expressed her expectation of going home tightly, as if she was holding on to the last straw.

She repeated in her heart that she would definitely be able to go back, and she could always think of a way to go back.

She recited it over and over again, and her trembling hands gradually returned to calm.

She took out the things Aunt Dai Jia gave her before she died, and put them on the table, including hairpins, earrings and bracelets.

She said, "Aunt Dai Jia left it for us."

Chen Jiayi said sharply, "You know she's going to die, why didn't you stop her?"

"I don't know..." Umalu herself felt that such an excuse was too pale. She said, "When I came back, I only heard my aunt crying. In the middle of the night, I felt someone stuffing things into the bed. I thought it was a dream. Just didn't pay attention."

"Lie, lie, you are a liar." Chen Jiayi accused her.

Ma Jiarongrong couldn't take it anymore, so she slapped her on the leg, deliberately where she was hit by the board.

The severe pain made Chen Jiayi suddenly lose the strength to speak. She stood up and changed her clothes, picked up the things on the table, and walked out quickly, making loud noises.

"You don't deserve to keep what your aunt gave you."

Ma Jiarongrong poured out the dirty water with her.

The house was not cleaned up, because he didn't know what Mr. Liang Jiugong would do next.

They don't want to be punished again.

Ma Jiarong apologized to Umalu on behalf of Chen Jiayi: "Don't blame her, my aunt is her distant aunt, and they are relatives. It was because of her aunt that she came to the tea house, and she didn't suffer much. Wronged. She was stimulated and said something wrong when she was unconscious for a while, it was her fault."
