The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 263

After beating up all the concubines, the little court lady who went to pick up Sister Xin and the two eunuchs were also escorted up.

Huilan scanned them around, "I heard that you guys agreed to report to them, didn't you?"

"Returning to the imperial concubine, yes, we really have no choice. The empress wants me to be buried with her. We didn't touch the princess. Please forgive us."

The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop.

"Well, I've asked, and it's true. I never lied, but if I make a mistake, I will be punished. Come here, [-] boards per person. If you can survive, I will spare your life. From now on, let the past be the past, and Chang Ji will send them to Taiyuan. The imperial concubine is serving, not allowed to enter the harem."

"No, come here."

Press several people on the bench to hit the board.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The little palace maid and the eunuch thanked her one after another. This is already the best result. Going to the concubine's place may not be bad, at least life will be safe.

There was the sound of hitting a board in the air, and it hurt to hear it.

The concubines were beaten to the point of fainting. How could they be so delicate and weak? They fell into a coma after a few strokes.

"Take it down to treat the wound, and let Doctor Xu go to treat it. If you are not allowed to die, you must be cured. Don't try to blackmail me."

Huilan stood up and stretched her waist, "The Zhou family has committed a heinous crime. No one of the five members of 380 will be kept. They will all be beheaded, and none of them will be allowed to go away."

After saying this sentence, he glanced at Li Yi, raised the corners of his lips, laughed loudly, wantonly, Xiao Yuanzi hurried forward, supported her arm, and left Yongning Hall.

Li Chengze sighed, "It's time to learn the lesson today, Chang Ji, according to my order, the whole family of the Zhou family was executed, the empress lost her morality and took the title and honor, took back the phoenix seal and treasure book, deposed the crown princess, and took the title of crown prince." The concubine's ceremony is buried in the concubine's mausoleum."

"promise."

"You guys go back too, don't listen to your mother and concubine tell you some messy things that ruin your mind. I am still young, and I can continue to have a son if my son is gone."

Putting down this extremely heartless words, he also made great strides away.

The four children left behind are like eggplants that have been beaten, their heads drooping, and this time they were beaten a little bit hard.

Huilan returned to Yongshou Palace, without saying a word, Xiao Yuanzi poured a cup of spiritual tea and offered it to her, "Master, it is better to send a few more skilled young eunuchs to accompany the princess."

"Go and choose. Let Pei Liang find me a few young girls to practice martial arts with the princess, and let him train a few maids who are good at martial arts. Let's order eight first."

"Yes. Master, will there be any criticism on the other side?"

"I don't care, I have secured the position of queen, whoever wants to fight against me, just go and be with the Zhou family, hehehe!"

Killing more than 300 members of Zhou's family is for one purpose, and those who stand in my way will die!

Huilan has gradually changed her mentality after being in the world of mortals these years. Without rights, she cannot protect her children well. She really didn't care about this rights before. Practitioners seek to be strong in their own strength, not to exercise power.

But now I have changed my thinking. I see different scenery when I am in a high position, and my thoughts and thoughts are completely different.

"Yes, the servant is afraid that the Qian family will turn against each other."

Xiao Yuanzi looked a little hesitant and gloomy. The Qian family has the eldest prince Li Yi, and the situation has obviously changed in the past two years.

"When there are too many compliments, I forget how much I am. Li Yi has mediocre qualifications. He is not as good as Li Zhou in terms of talent, learning or martial arts. What about a famous family, he is not as good as a court lady who can teach children."

"You know, among the four princes, Li Zhou's grades have always been firmly ranked second. He has never been promoted and no one has taken his position. This slave thinks that he is dormant on purpose."

"It's not necessarily a good thing. His status as a concubine is low. If you teach your children well, it will be good to be a powerful prince in the future. Fighting for the throne is a matter of life and death. How can you go all the way to the dark."

Huilan does not agree with the second prince's approach, but thinks that the great prince is a smart person who understands current affairs. You see, now the two brothers are well off, and the mother and concubine have also been taken home and the two sons take turns to live there, and often go out Playing, these days living in a country farm and playing with grandchildren, life is not to mention how pleasant, this is the real smart person, take a step back and see the world.

"What you said is that I'm sending someone to keep an eye on it."

"Go, help me look after Sister Xin. Yongshou Palace has to rely on you to preside over the overall situation for me. Your sister Dingxiang is an honest person and not good at maneuvering. Qiuyun still lacks a little experience and is not ruthless enough. Sister Yan is old and has no energy. Not enough, I can only count on you."

"Yes, a slave is duty-bound."

Xiao Yuanzi did his part, it is impossible for him to join another family in this life, so naturally he has to worry more about his master.

"This bottle of medicine is for you, take it easy, the medicine is poisonous and not easy to expel. The one who came from hard work is your own."

"Yes, the slave will keep it in mind."

Xiao Yuanzi squeezed the medicine bottle tightly, bent over and retreated.

When Li Chengze came in, Huilan turned and went to the inner room and lay on the bed, ignoring him.

He followed into the inner room, sat beside her, and lay down with her, without speaking.

The atmosphere between the two was a little cold and a little heavy.

There was a long silence, no one was willing to break the deadlock, Li Chengze didn't speak, he didn't explain, maybe he didn't need to explain, this matter belonged to the tacit agreement and understanding between their husband and wife.

I don't know how long there was silence. Li Chengze stretched out his hand to grab her into his arms, and kissed her forehead, "I'm sorry I neglected Zhou Ying, I underestimated the enemy, I thought that a woman who can speak out of breath is no longer a threat .”

In the end, he still apologized. He couldn't imagine what happened to Sister Xin.
In the past three years, he has been raising the children, and no one understands the hardships better than his father, and he is closer to Sister Xin, so he acquiesced in Huilan's murder, which is what he wanted to do.

"If you don't do it, I will do it. I won't let Zhou Ying continue to live."

"I can tolerate anything, but I can't tolerate my children being hurt and wronged."

Huilan closed her eyes and spoke softly.

"I know. Tell Sister Xin the truth. There is no room for naive and foolish children in the palace. When our protection is tight and there are omissions, you are right. You are the most reliable when you are strong. Sister Xin must grow up."

Li Chengze finally stopped hesitating and hesitating, and agreed to let Sister Xin get in touch with some not-so-good things, so that she could learn how to become stronger.

"it is good."

This incident did not go like this, three concubines died, and all the Li family girls died, how could the Li family spare Huilan, and there was a quarrel in the court.

But he was beaten back by Li Chengze, who had been prepared for a long time. Yushi, Li Tong and others jointly impeached the Li family for many crimes, and Li Chengze decided to investigate thoroughly.

The Li family had no choice but to put their flags to rest, and now they could not care about their two dead daughters, and they themselves were exposed to bad debts.

Back then, the late emperor told Li Chengze in private, don't trust the Li family too much. His family is not loyal. On the contrary, those who follow him and the neutral party can win over and trust the courtiers who betray the emperor easily.

Now all the words of the late emperor have come true, yes, he has seen more profoundly than Li Chengze in the decades of emperor's political career.

The Li family was the second group to be investigated. The first group was the Zhou family and the party members who followed his family. They were all ransacked and exterminated.
