Bongjun's Life and Death Tribulation

This Chu Xiran had just stepped into the Yonghe Palace when Yingyue, dressed in black, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Master, be careful, Shangguan Yan has fallen into the water, and the emperor is coming towards the Yonghe Palace." After speaking, Yingyue disappeared into the darkness with a whoosh.

After a while, He Lan Ruoming really rushed into the Yonghe Palace in a rage, and when he saw him, he shouted sharply: "Chu Xiran, you are so brave!"

"I don't know what the emperor said?" Chu Xiran looked up at He Lan Ruoming through the moonlight in the room.

"Playing stupid again? You pushed Concubine Liang into the pond and almost drowned him, you are guilty!"

"I didn't push him." Chu Xiran said frankly.

"Concubine Liang said it was you who pushed her, but you still want to deny it? And there are people who saw you talking with Concubine Liang by the pool, who else is not you?"

"Maybe he jumped down by himself?" Chu Xiran sneered.

"Bastard!" He Lan Ruoming yelled, and raised his hand to scrape Chu Xiran's cheek, which immediately became red and swollen.

Chu Xiran turned his face sideways, his eyes were covered by loose hair, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly, he only heard him say word by word: "You don't believe me?"

"How could I trust you bastard!"

Chu Xiran didn't listen to these words, but what he thought of was what happened back then.At that time, even if He Lan Ruoming loved Yao Xiran again, no matter what happened, he still believed in himself.After several accidents, he always subconsciously showed distressed eyes to himself.Perhaps it was because of this trust and favoritism that his heart did not die at that time.

In fact, such days have been survived, what else can't be lived?

Thinking of this, he couldn't restrain himself from laughing out loud, with the tenderness of drowning in his eyes, He Lan Ruoming was stunned.

"What are you staring at me for?" Chu Xiran withdrew his thoughts, and felt even more amused seeing He Lan Ruoming staring at him.

"You! You can still laugh!" He Lan Ruoming calmed down, and his face became even more gloomy.

"What if I say I did it? How does the emperor want to punish me?"

There is a word called hitting a snake with a stick. Since someone has paved the way for him to go, how can he live up to his good intentions?He wanted to see what was waiting for him in this trap, could it be that he was afraid of Chu Xiran?

"Punishment? You are the queen, and you have a white jade dragon, phoenix, and chicken heart in your hand. I can't destroy you, so how can I punish you!" He Lan Ruoming's black eyes flashed a cruel light, and he said: "Bring it up !"

Xiao Linzi bit the bullet and brought a bowl of purple soup, and put the golden bowl on the table with trembling hands.

"Everyone back down." He Lan Ruoming raised the golden bowl and approached Chu Xiran step by step, "Drink it."

"What is this?" Looking at the purple soup in front of his eyes, he felt disgusted for no reason.

"Empress, have you ever heard of 'Bai Mei'? It is used in the small hall outside to train those young men who can't serve others. This bowl is exactly the 'Bai Mei' I bestowed on the Empress!"

"Are you giving me an aphrodisiac?" Chu Xiran's eyes widened with disbelief.

"The Queen pushed Liang Concubine into the pond, is it because she hates him for taking my favor? Well, I will grant your wish and let you serve me well! Drink it!"

He Lan Ruoming smiled viciously, and Chu Xiran's heart sank due to his distorted facial features.

This is not the He Lan Ruoming he knew, no!

Heartbroken, he looked resentfully at the ruthless person in front of him, only to realize that the man's temples were a little gray, his heart was shocked, and just as he was about to reach out, he stopped.

It was not easy for He Lan Ruoming to ascend the throne as a teenager, and the queen mother who assisted him left early. As a young emperor, he wanted to prosper the country and stabilize the government, but at the same time he had to carefully contain the various forces in the court and not allow one to become big. Is it clear in one or two sentences?

Now that he is only in his thirties, his temples are already graying, and he doesn't know how much of it is from working hard in the court, and how much of it is waiting for himself to survive.

"Okay, I'll drink." Chu Xiran calmly took the golden bowl in He Lan Ruoming's hand and drank it down, then raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, "Isn't it just an aphrodisiac? I, Chu Xiran, can't even kill people." Not afraid, but also afraid of this thing used on Xiaowan?"

Throwing away the golden bowl in his hand, he finally reached out to touch He Lan Ruoming's temples.

That's right, for this person, what is he afraid of?

"You!" Seeing that he drank the aphrodisiac without hesitation, He Lan Ruoming was suddenly at a loss. Seeing the person in front of him quietly looking at him with a smile, without any grievance or complaint, he didn't know What to do.

"What's next? What do you want me to do?" Chu Xiran's cheeks flushed slightly, and her breathing gradually became short of breath. He was obviously just a handsome boy, but in He Lan Ruoming's eyes, he added a Seductive charm.

"As long as you admit your mistake, it's fine this time." He Lan Ruoming somehow softened his tone, and his eyes casually glanced away, not daring to look directly at Chu Xiran's firm eyes, but he couldn't help but glance at him occasionally, only feeling The more you look at the person in front of you, the better.

Chu Xiran didn't expect him to say such a sentence, but was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "I haven't done it, so who do I have to apologize to?"

"Chu Xiran, is it so difficult to admit a mistake? I don't need to pursue it, as long as you apologize to Yan'er!"

"Don't go!" Chu Xiran raised his chin, the burning heat in his body had slowly started to burn from his lower abdomen, but he gritted his teeth to resist the discomfort in his body, and insisted: "You might as well ask him to apologize to me!"

He Lan Ruoming's fire suddenly caught fire, and he grabbed his arm and dragged it to the side of the bed and pushed it down hard.

The sound of brocade silk being torn rang out in the room, and He Lan Ruoming stripped Chu Xiran naked in a few moments, then tied his hands with the torn clothes and hung him on the bedside, casually loosened his pants, clothes Without taking it off, she straightened into Chu Xiran's body.

The tearing pain came from the lower body, and Chu Xiran only felt that his body was split in half, and the hot fluid flowing out between his buttocks was filled with blood, but it became lubricated in good time, relieving the pain during thrusting.

He gritted his teeth to bear the ravages of the people on his body, the burning heat all over his body and the intense pain under his body tortured his body and mind alternately, but He Lan Ruoming didn't think it was enough, he tightened his waist with one hand and pressed down, After stabbing hard a few times, he casually picked up Yu Ruyi next to him, pulled out his lower body, and regardless of the messy blood on Chu Xiran's buttocks, he rudely stabbed Yu Ruyi's handle in again.

No matter how Ren Chu Xiran neighed, He Lan Ruoming didn't hesitate to start, until the root was completely submerged, he deliberately pinched Ruyi and spun it around, making Chu Xiran's neighing sound a little weaker.

"Since you are so stubborn, there is no need for me to soften your heart! 'Bai Mei' is not an ordinary aphrodisiac, it will keep you from passing out no matter how much you are tortured, even if you are tortured to death, you will keep twisting you waist!"

This was the last sentence Chu Xiran heard before losing consciousness. After being tortured for an unknown amount of time, he felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and his skin seemed to be eaten by thousands of ants. A violent tearing pain from the bottom to the top, as if it was about to smash the internal organs and crush the bones of the whole body, but he just couldn't stop, and he didn't want to stop.

When Chu Xiran regained consciousness again, he felt pain all over his body, and the long-lasting effect of the medicine was still in his body, which made him moan uncontrollably. Just when he wanted to twist his body, he was restrained He stopped, leaning against his warm chest, and then someone wiped his lower body with a warm wet handkerchief, with careful and gentle movements.

Chu Xiran regained focus, her eyes fell on the person who was holding him, and she moved her lips to call him, only to realize that her voice was terribly hoarse.

"Does it still hurt?" He Lan Ruoming asked him carefully.

"It hurts." Chu Xiran rubbed against him, and said in a hoarse voice, "More."

"I've given you the antidote, it'll be fine later, just bear with it." He Lan Ruoming kissed his forehead and cheek lightly, and said over and over again as if to comfort him: "Just bear with it, bear with it."

"Is it seriously hurt?" Seeing that he didn't even have the courage to look at her, Chu Xiran immediately knew her situation.

"Well, you are covered in blood all over your body, and it stained me too." He Lan Ruoming hugged him tightly, stroked his wrist, and kissed the purple-red strangle marks with his lips little by little. Lin Zi is going to call the imperial doctor, please bear with it."

"Wipe the bottom for me first, I don't want others to see." Chu Xiran withdrew his wrist, and pushed He Lan Ruoming feebly, only to realize that he really had no strength at all, and it hurt so much to think about it when he moved a little to die.

"Okay." He Lan Ruoming stood up, wrung out the brocade handkerchief again, and carefully lifted Chu Xiran's legs, wiping away the traces from his thighs to the root of his thighs little by little.

"And inside."

"En." He Lan Ruoming agreed, but he didn't dare to go in as soon as his fingers reached the entrance.

"I didn't see that you couldn't bear it when you tortured me, but now you don't dare?" Seeing He Lan Ruoming's trembling, Chu Xiran knew that her words had pierced his heart, sighed, and stretched out her hand to call out to He Lan Ruoming : "Come here and hug me, it hurts so much."

He Lan Ruoming put down the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and sat down beside Chu Xiran. As soon as he hugged him into his arms, tears fell from his eyes.

"Fool, I didn't cry, why are you crying!" Chu Xiran leaned on his shoulder, stretched out a hand to pick up his earlobe, who knew that this movement would also involve injuries on his body, and immediately grinned in pain.

"Fool, I didn't cry, why are you crying!" Chu Xiran leaned on his shoulder, stretched out a hand to pick up his earlobe, who knew that this movement would also involve injuries on his body, and immediately grinned in pain.

"Don't move, don't you make me uncomfortable!" He Lan Ruoming squeezed his hand and put it on his chest to cover it.

"Remember, you owe me one more thing. When this thing is over, I'll see how you pay it back!" Chu Xiran's voice was soft, the words were obviously complaining, but there was a trifle in her tone Relief.

"It's a good thing I'm awake, otherwise, you're really afraid that you'll die on this bed." He Lan Ruoming couldn't stop trembling when he thought of the scarlet in his eyes after waking up.

"I have a lot of life, I can't die! What's more, you owe me so many debts, how can I be willing to die?" Chu Xiran put his arms around his shoulders and counted them one by one, "Xiao Linzi said that you have been thinking about it for the past few years. Not in the Sangong and Liuyuan, but today I count them, and there are no less charming people than in the past? And the little master who danced the sword in the front, I like you very much when I look at you? As for Shangguan Yan, Xiang A Duo , I will settle with you one by one in the future!"

"How do you count?"

"Naturally, go into battle and use my Chu family's tens of thousands of troops to flatten your Forbidden City!"

"Okay!" He Lan Ruoming rested his chin on Chu Xiran's forehead, and said gently, "Don't be soft-hearted, I'll wait for you."

Hearing these words, Chu Xiran's eyes were astringent, and he let out a long breath and said, "It would be great if you could answer like that back then."

"There is no past year, but we have a future." He Lan Ruoming lowered his head, kissed his cheek delicately, sliding down every inch of his skin, until he bit his lip, tossing and turning for a while, and then said: "If Even the future is gone, you can kill me with your own hands.”

"What?" Chu Xiran suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the pair of eyes close to the tip of his nose in shock.

"If you can't solve this Gu and make me a real fool, you will kill me and assist Qi'er to ascend the throne." He Lan Ruoming's tone was resolute, his deep black eyes couldn't see to the end, but his hidden affection was hidden. Rolling and spilling out of the corners of his eyes, "It's better to die happily than to be manipulated by others, and it will make you suffer less. What's more, if I really lose your life, how can I live even if I wake up?"

"Fool, don't you believe me? I am an imposing young general of the Chu family. I have never lost to thousands of troops. How can I still lose to this trick? Don't worry, I will find a way to solve your Gu. I must also uproot the truth, lest people look down on me, the Empress of Tiancheng."

"You have to be careful."

"Just let me stop worrying."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word, but the hands that were tightly held seemed to be stuck together, even when the imperial doctor came in, they did not let go.

It took more than ten days for Chu Xiran to recover from his injuries. He simply stayed behind closed doors. Rumors abounded in the harem, and he just accompanied the prince to study and play every day. went.

And during this period, He Lan Ruoming conferred another fourth-rank Ronghua, who was Lan Xinhui, the master who danced the sword dance that night at the banquet. In addition, Huo Feier, the concubine Li, was also promoted to be a noble concubine of the second rank, replacing her. Mu Yun who has been relegated to changing clothes.

For a while, everyone in the harem saw that the queen was ignoring things, and the noble concubine was pregnant, so how could they not be ready to move?

Chu Xiran hears from time to time who He Lanruo will be lucky to see today, and which young master's green head card will be turned over tomorrow, but it sounds like the most favored concubine Xiang Gui and Concubine Liang. It is said that the emperor always Concubine He Xiang is tired of staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and only at night will she call other concubines, and every other day she must stay in the Concubine Liang's Zhongcui Palace.

After a seemingly peaceful half a month later, the shadow guards sent out also got news that Zhao Yuening had been found and was rushing to the capital, Chu Xiran's long-hanging heart finally touched the ground.

However, the disaster was just beginning.

Tiancheng Meiji 17th year, late summer.

Liangfei Shangguanyan was found dead in Zhongcui Palace, holding a piece of white cloth in her hand before she died.

After verification, Concubine Liang died of Hedinghong, which was the same as the poisonous wine that the empress bestowed on the Yao nobleman. After comparing the texture and pattern of the cloth, it was proved that the empress owned it. The imperial guards were in the East Nuan Pavilion of Yonghe Palace The rest of the crane crest and the torn Queen's casual clothes were found, and it can be said that everyone has stolen goods.

When all the rumors and evidences were directed at Chu Xiran, he could not argue clearly, so He Lan Ruoming issued a decree in front of civil and military officials: Empress Chu Xiran was jealous by nature, and she killed the concubines in the harem. The crime is so extreme that they will be moved to the Nagato Palace and imprisoned, and they will not be allowed to step out for life. If they disobey, they will be killed without mercy.

Chu Xiran stepped into Nagato Palace again, looking at the broken and familiar palace gate, he just frowned slightly, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Master?" Xiao Shunzi stood behind him, saw him standing in a daze at the door, only thought that he was uncomfortable because of being demoted to the cold palace, and quickly comforted him: "Master, don't worry, the slave is here prepared, what should be used The ones have already been packed, and someone will bring them over later.”

"It's all external things, don't worry about it, besides, there's nothing wrong with it here." Chu Xiran walked to a burnt wall, stretched out his hand to caress it, and the scene of the past flashed by.He closed his eyes quietly, and opened them again after a long time, "This is the third time I'm back, what else can I not get used to? What's more, today is no different from the past, my heart is always at ease, and there is no grievance or grievance, just Worried about him..."

In the middle of speaking, Chu Xiran suddenly snorted coldly, "Think you can do whatever you want by confining me in the Nagato Palace? You really underestimate me, Chu Xiran! If someone wants to touch him under my nose, I will have to take it with me." Get it back!"

"Master? Then what should we do?"

"wait."

Chu Xiran rubbed her fingertips to remove the scorched black, then turned and walked into the dilapidated house.

Chu Xiran was imprisoned in front of the Nagato Palace, so she entrusted the crown prince to Concubine Zhuang Zhao Yueru. Concubine Zhuang remembered Chu Xiran's confession and moved He Lan Ruoxi into her palace to live in her palace on the grounds of illness, Bringing it by your side is more careful than taking care of your own princess for a while.

He Lan Ruoxi was also very sensible, and only went to greet He Lan Ruoming at regular intervals in the morning and evening, and spent the rest of the time in the house practicing calligraphy and reading, occasionally playing with wooden swords in the yard in front of the house, and taught him the sword skills from Chu Xiran Take it to heart.

In the evening of this day, he had just retreated from the imperial study after inviting Ann, when he ran into Xiang A Duo, who was belly fat.

He Lan Ruoxi's small face immediately pulled down, but luckily she still bowed to A Duo without losing her manners.On the other hand, Xiang A Duo put one hand on the arm of the lady-in-waiting, propped up her waist with the other hand, and nodded proudly, but did not salute the prince.

He Lanruoxi didn't care about these things, she just wanted to leave quickly, but suddenly she stepped on something, she rushed forward suddenly, and happened to bump into Xiang A Duo.

"Niang Niang!" Xiao He, Xiang A Duo's close maid, screamed loudly at the right time, her shrill tone was truly frightening.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" "Quickly go and tell the emperor that Your Majesty has fallen!" "Quickly go and ask the imperial doctor!"

Seeing Xiang A Duo fell to the ground, a group of people rushed to protect her, all of them were full of panic, for fear of being blamed by the emperor, but He Lan Ruoxi who fell on the other side was left alone.

"Your Highness, you are bleeding." Xiao Dezi, Helan Ruoxi's personal eunuch, supported his crown prince, and felt distressed when he saw that his knees and elbows were worn out.

"It's okay!" He Lanruoxi gritted his teeth and stood up, "Go back."

"His Royal Highness, please stay! Your Majesty was pushed down by His Majesty. You can't leave like this now, otherwise how will the servants explain to the Emperor?" The eunuch Xiao Fuzi who was following Xiang A Duo's side was talking, a thin man , who is not very eye-catching on weekdays, but just entered the palace for more than a year, and somehow became Xiang A Duo's confidant.

"Bold! Who are you to block the way of the prince?" Xiao Dezi stood in front of Helan Ruoxi, his face full of anger.

"Of course my servant doesn't have the guts to do so, but our lady's belly is a dragon species. If something happens, His Royal Highness may be the one to blame. It's not too late to leave until His Royal Highness is wronged."

"Ridiculous! Are you going to offend the next!"

Xiao Dezi was so angry that he wanted to make a move, but He Lanruoxi grabbed his sleeve. This eight-year-old child was staring at the eunuch who blocked his way seriously at the moment, neither angry nor annoyed, he just said: " Alright, the crown prince will wait for the emperor to come before leaving."

"But Your Highness, you are injured..." Xiao Dezi said anxiously.

"Father once said that a real man should be like father and queen. He sweats and sweats on the battlefield. If the prince can't bear this little injury, how can he inherit the land that father and queen made?"

The eunuch named Xiao Fuzi shivered all over, only felt his neck was cold, so he quickly touched his neck.

Just as they were in a stalemate, they heard Xiao Linzi's voice: "The emperor is here!"

As soon as the voice fell, a bright yellow figure rushed up, and everyone knelt down to salute. He didn't even look at it, but asked A Duo repeatedly, "Is it hurt? Is it okay? What's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts a bit." Xiang A Duo leaned weakly on He Lan Ruoming's body.

"I'll take you back first! The imperial doctor has already rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!" He Lan Ruoming hugged A Duo and got into the sedan chair. Only then did he see He Lan Ruoxi who was kneeling on one side. He frowned and kicked up , "You did a good job! Tell me to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and explain it clearly!"

"Your Highness!" Xiao Dezi quickly helped He Lan Ruoxi who was kicked to the ground.

The little prince held his mouth shut and insisted on not saying a word. He didn't stand up straight until he confirmed that He Lan Ruoming and Xiang A Duo had left.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several eunuchs and maids checked and pointed out that it was the prince Helan Ruoxi who pushed down the noble concubine Xiang. He Lanruoming was so angry that he wanted to issue an order to punish the prince. Concubine stopped.

"The prince is still young, and he didn't do it on purpose. Why did the emperor lose his temper?"

"If you have the heart, I'm afraid the child in Ben Gong's stomach will be lost long ago." Xiang A Duo leaned against the bed, stroking his stomach with one hand and pretending to be careless.

"Walk well, why did you fall? And hit Aifei directly? Can you just make up a reason to fool me!" He Lan Ruoming slapped the table, and the room was suddenly silent.

Xiang A Duo spoke again at this time, obviously in a soft tone, but his words cut like a knife: "The prince is only eight years old, and I don't know who taught him to be so vicious."

He Lan Ruoming looked at He Lan Ruoxi and Concubine Zhuang who were kneeling in the hall with a sneer, "Concubine Zhuang, the prince lived with you recently, did you teach me?"

"The concubine was wronged!" Zhao Yueru trembled with anger.

"Who could it be?" Xiang A Duo pretended to think, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Could it be the one from Nagato Palace?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Zhuang was startled.

He Lan Ruoming's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and Xiao Linzi on the other side groaned inwardly, so he heard him say: "Empress Chu Xiran is in the Nagato Palace but she doesn't know how to repent, she instigated the prince to murder the noble concubine, I can't bear it, After reading it as a country, the death penalty will be spared, but the living penalty cannot be escaped!"

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Concubine Zhuang and He Lan Ruoxi spoke together, He Lan Ruoming was unmoved, and continued: "Decree, the empress will be punished fifty times, and from today onwards, the empress' salary and all daily necessities will be reduced to the eighth rank to change clothes." Similarly, if anyone in the palace dares to help, they will be dealt with together."

When Chu Xiran received the decree, she was sitting in the flower garden turning the soil to prepare to plant some flowers and plants. Before she could wash the mud off her hands, someone grabbed her arms and dragged her into the yard.

After hearing the order, he was not angry, he just grinned, and the eunuch who was in charge of execution was frightened by his abnormality.

"What are you looking at? Hit me hard, give me fifty sticks to count!" Chu Xiran lay down on the execution bench, then turned to Xiao Shunzi and said, "Go into the room and get me a handkerchief." come."

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi rushed back to the room and took a white handkerchief and handed it to Chu Xiran.

Chu Xiran folded the handkerchief a few times before biting it into his mouth with satisfaction, and waved one hand at the eunuchs beside him, meaning: hit.

The expected stick hadn’t dropped yet, but the older eunuch in the head whispered: “Usually, after fifty battles, you’ll die if you don’t die, but you are the queen, how can we be slaves?” This courage? It’s just that, after all, it’s an imperial decree. The emperor is angry. If the servants don’t do it, their heads will be lost. Please forgive me.”

As he said that, the eunuch closest to Chu Xiran leaned down, leaned into his ear and continued: "The first thirty slaves will beat according to the rules, so that your injuries can look real and serious! But the last two The servants of the ten sticks are just putting on a show, so that your injury will only be on the skin, and you will recover after ten days of care, and it will never be to the point of hurting your muscles and bones.

"But, queen master, you have to remember that the more you hit the back, the more you will scream. Although our slaves are of one mind, after all, walls have ears, so we can't let others catch the ground and say that the slaves are biased towards the queen. It made the slaves unable to survive.”

These eunuchs are really thoughtful. On the one hand, they can make a job by beating someone, and on the other hand, they seem to be on Chu Xiran's side and helping him. If Chu Xiran gains power again in the future, they will definitely not embarrass them, saying There may be rewards.

Chu Xiran knew it in his heart, but it was a good thing for him, so he nodded in agreement, and the eunuchs in charge of execution dared to do it.

Unexpectedly, just after hitting five sticks, I heard "the emperor is coming" from outside the palace gate!

The eunuchs in charge of the punishment looked at each other, and after hearing the second sound of "the emperor is coming", they hurriedly put down the sticks in their hands and knelt down one after another. Only Chu Xiran was still lying on the torture bench carelessly.

After a while, He Lan Ruoming approached on a pair of lambskin boots inlaid with gold thread. The smell of pollen all over his body made Chu Xiran slightly frowned, and turned his face away in displeasure.

He Lan Ruoming came to Chu Xiran, and asked the execution eunuch beside him, "How many sticks have you beaten?"

"Back to the emperor, just five rods." The eunuch who executed the sentence replied quickly.

"No wonder you haven't seen blood yet, let's continue." He Lan Ruoming took a few steps back, "Bring me a stool, I want to count here."

Hearing this, Chu Xiran finally turned to look at He Lan Ruoming, only to hear him say to Xiao Shunzi: "Go, bring the strongest stool in the room to the emperor, and make a cup of tea for the emperor by the way." , let him watch the show!"

"Do you still have the heart to joke around at this moment? Queen, queen, no matter how strong you are, the fifty rods will kill half of your life. Don't you want to beg for mercy? As long as you are willing to give up your position, I will definitely be good Waiting for you again."

"Give up the back seat? Then who does the emperor want to take the back seat? To A Duo?" Chu Xiran had a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold, "I, Chu Xiran, have fought countless enemies on the battlefield. Not afraid of death, but still afraid of this mere fifty sticks? What a joke!"

"Don't toast you and don't eat fine wine! Do you really think I can't kill you?"

"It seems that the emperor really forgot. When you gave me the white jade dragon and phoenix chicken heart pendant, you said that this jade pendant can use the army."

"You want to rebel?"

"If the emperor wants to murder his own empress for a Miao girl of unknown origin, what do you think the ministers in the court will think? Besides, Tiancheng has always ruled the country together with the empress and empress, and the empress's power is not only in the harem. The concubine has the responsibility to assist the emperor! Therefore, I have to trouble the emperor to go back and tell Xiang A Duo that she cannot afford to be the successor of Tian Cheng!"

"You are in Nagato Palace, you are no more than a waste queen!"

"Abandoned empress? The emperor is joking again. The concubine just moved to Nagato Palace, and I, Chu Xiran, am the empress of Tiancheng!"

He Lan Ruoming was so angry that his face turned blue at this moment, but he had no choice but to take Chu Xiran, as Chu Xiran said, if he was really killed, then the ministers would join hands to sue A Duo, don't say anything at that time A Duo was made queen, and it would be difficult to save her life. Only by letting Chu Xiran abdicate herself would there be a slight possibility.

But Chu Xiran is so stubborn, she has disappeared for a few years, so why did she insist on her position after returning to the palace?

He Lan Ruoming thought about it and his head started to hurt again. He found that he suddenly couldn't remember why Chu Xiran left back then?How come back?And when did I make him the empress?And when did you give him that white jade dragon and phoenix heart pendant?He always felt that he knew it, but he couldn't remember it at all?

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Xiao Linzi on the side couldn't help worrying when he saw his face turn pale.

Seeing He Lan Ruoming like this, Chu Xiran knew that his heart hurt again, not only regretted that Tu Tu had said too much in a moment, but also looked at He Lan Ruoming with more worry.

At this moment, He Lan Ruoming was rubbing his temples with his forehead supported. The sudden pain in his heart made him not in the mood to say any more. He only half-squinted his eyes and glanced at Chu Xiran, but he met his gaze.

Looking at each other, Chu Xiran sighed in his heart, while He Lan Ruoming only felt as if someone had slashed his heart, it was obviously painful, but there was a different kind of familiarity.

But before he had time to think about it, the overwhelming pain spread from his heart to his whole body, and his limbs seemed to be paralyzed and unable to move.He supported Xiao Linzi with one hand, and touched his forehead covered with cold sweat with the other hand. He managed to stabilize his body and sat down. Then he gritted his teeth and waved his hands: "Take off his coat and continue beating!"

The first [-] sticks used the technique of "emphasizing the outside and lightening the inside", that is, it looked bloody and bloody on the outside, but in reality it didn't really hurt the muscles and bones.

"25, 26, 27, 28..."

Following the sound of the staff falling, the prison eunuch standing at the top shouted the number, and the voice with a long tail echoed in the empty gate wall of Nagato Palace.

Chu Xiran's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his face was already frighteningly pale, but he still bit the handkerchief in his mouth, and endured the pain of the cane without saying a word.

"31, 32, 33..."

This side is still counting, but He Lan Ruoming, who was sitting silently, suddenly stood up, his complexion was not much better than Chu Xiran's, and even his breathing was a little confused.

"Don't look at it, let's go back." He Lan Ruoming glanced at Chu Xiran who was lying on his stomach, his eyes unconsciously skipped over his blood-stained pants, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze before turning around.

Xiao Linzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked again: "Will the rod punishment continue?"

"Continue, you can't miss a board! After the execution, let these eunuchs come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to answer."

"Follow the order!"
