There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 271

Tang Wanning guessed right.

Sure enough, Xia Houyan had other arrangements. He used his previous means to buy a Royal Forest Army in the palace.

He was sure that the imperial forest army was on duty tonight, even if the imperial study room was turned upside down, they would just pretend not to hear.

He didn't want to seize the throne, he just wanted to demonstrate, so that Xia Houjue would know his methods, and he would also express the anger that had been dormant in his heart for a long time.

But who knew that the Royal Forest Army was temporarily transferred away.

As if Xia Houjue knew everything in advance, he transferred away without warning. By the time he knew the news, it was too late.

Department of Punishment, what is that place?
This name is so familiar, so familiar that he has been saying this name from the mouths of various palaces since he was a child.

This name is so strange, so strange that he has never seen it before, let alone have the opportunity to step in.

In this imperial palace, he has always been the fourth prince, the fourth prince born of the emperor and empress, and his status has always been high.

But who would know that one day in the future, he would also step into this place to be tortured and whipped by the most humble palace people.

In his whole life, he never thought that he would have this day, hehe, Xia Houjue, you are so ruthless!

He was tied to the execution rack, gnashing his teeth while avoiding the whips flying around him.

"Xia Houjue, if I, Xia Houyan, can escape this catastrophe, I will definitely make you die without a place to bury you!"

"Xia Houjue, the one thing I regret the most in my life is not letting my mother kill you!"

"Xia Houjue, you will die badly, you will die badly!"

Grinning his teeth, he endured his own flesh and blood, and cursed viciously at the one who had inflicted the pain on him.

Severe pain hit him overwhelmingly, he was sweating profusely, and his mind went blank.

The sharp and piercing smiles of those palace people are in the ears.

"Hahaha, why do I know this person so well? Isn't this our fourth prince?"

"That's right, now that you've become a traitor, you were captured alive by the emperor in the imperial study, so it's in our hands."

"Isn't it? At the beginning, I just knocked over a bottle in the empress's palace, and I was beaten twenty boards, and my skin was torn to pieces. Now I still have scars all over my body. Only ghosts like the Punishment Department The local errand, do you think your mother is ruthless? Huh?"

As the little eunuch spoke, he whipped again.

Xia Houyan seemed numb and didn't respond.

Another little eunuch also gritted his teeth: "At the beginning, I was on good terms with a little maid, but then that little maid suddenly didn't get along with me, saying that the Fourth Highness fell in love with her. If it weren't for you, I would have a pair of food by now."

The Department of Punishment and Punishment is the dirtiest and least dignified place in the palace, and all the little eunuchs working here have made mistakes.

And almost everyone here was punished by the original queen.

Everyone has been exposed to these violent and bloody things for a long time, and their tempers have become neurotic, vicious, vicious, and cruel, and they can really kill half of people when they do it.

It was through these people's violent methods that Xia Houyan gradually lost consciousness.

When the people from the Punishment Department saw it, they stopped immediately. Everyone's behavior was very consistent, that is, if he was not beaten to death, he could not die so happily.

Everyone put away the torture tools one after another, spat on the unconscious man, and then reluctantly went to sleep.

……

The next day, Xia Houyan was woken up by a bucket of salt water.

"The Fourth Highness is up, do you see who is here to accompany you?" A young eunuch put down the bucket in his hand with a gloating smile.

The salt water was soaked in yesterday's wound, and the pain pierced into the heart like a knife. If one place is okay, if the wounds all over the body are so painful, no matter how firm the will is, it may be difficult to persist.

Sure enough, Xia Houyan let out a scream like killing a pig.

"Who? Who? Who splashed it just now?"

"Hey, I'm reporting to the Fourth Highness, it was the servants who insulted you. Do you have any comments? Oh, I forgot to tell you that this is the emperor's will. If you have anything to say, tell the emperor, the servants are busy? "

After the little eunuch finished speaking, several other little eunuchs behind the commander said, "Bring it in?"

"Fourth Highness, the emperor is afraid that you will be lonely, so he specially asked the servants to bring the empress dowager in to accompany you. Tsk tsk tsk, the emperor is really virtuous and benevolent, even the servants are moved?"

He made a touching gesture while talking, and the surrounding young eunuchs roared with laughter.

Xia Houyan was ashamed and angry, and all the wounds on his body were in severe pain. When he was desperate for life, when he looked up, he saw the Queen Mother Qin being violently carried in by several eunuchs and thrown on the ground in front of him. .

"Mother!"

Xia Houyan's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked unbelievable.

He couldn't believe that the dry and ugly little old lady in front of him was his queen mother, but that face, that facial features that were obviously sunk in but could no longer be familiar with, told him with absolute certainty.

This is the person who gave birth to him and raised him, and this is the empress empress who was in charge of the harem in the past, with one person under one person and over ten thousand people above her mother.

"Queen, what's the matter with you, queen?"

When Xia Houyan took her gold medal and walked away, he felt guilty in his heart, but now seeing his mother become like this, he also suffers in every possible way.

The last ray of kindness that was born as a human burst out at this moment.

"Mother! Xia Houjue, you can do anything to my mother, you will die."

"It's you who will die badly."

A soft but powerful voice came in from outside, and after a while, the owner of that voice came from outside.

She was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe and the most noble nine-tailed phoenix crown. This noble outfit was just like the queen mother back then.

"Fourth brother, long time no see!"

Tang Wanning stood in the light and shadow in front of Xia Houyan with a smile, her smile was so bright that it looked very unreal.

"It's you? Why are you here?" Xia Houyan couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe that he would meet such a glamorous person in this kind of time and place. He didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it.

"Why can't I come?" Tang Wanning smiled faintly.

"You also have a share of the credit for harming me. I just want to get it back. Is there any problem?"

She fiddled with her nails lightly, smiling lightly.

"The empress has also made me trip up. I didn't know why I offended you mother and son when I entered the palace, alas!"

She quietly sat on the seat Biyue had prepared for her, and said calmly.

"The emperor has to go to court. There are many things to do, and he is also very busy, so he has no time to talk to you. Let me see you mother and son off."
