Chapter 509 Nanke 1 Dream (1)
The old maid begged for mercy again and again, "Oh, oh, what are you doing, Your Majesty? I don't know how I have offended you. I hope you can tell me clearly!"
All Yu Qingli's mind was filled with the cruel methods this person used against her. Since her rebirth, she had been avoiding the time she spent in the cold palace, so she gradually forgot about this old palace maid. In fact, in her previous life, this person often beat her endlessly.
She even remembered that once she broke her bowl because she was not feeling well, and the damn old woman used the broken porcelain pieces to cut her hand, under the pretext of making her remember this.
There were countless things like this. No matter who in the harem was dissatisfied with herself at the time, this palace maid would be the one to execute them in the end!
She whipped herself, broke her legs, pricked herself with needles, and even deliberately forced herself to eat dirt for three whole days. Later, when her stomach was bloated and she rolled on the ground, she called the imperial physician for fear of being beaten to death. She also said that she had swallowed the dirt because she was crazy.
Such a vicious person is still alive in this palace, and judging from Concubine Yu’s current situation, this woman is no different from her previous life!
Yu Qingli increased the force of her feet, and the old palace maid screamed in pain.
This sudden change left Concubine Yu confused. Although Xiluo didn't understand it either, she had secretly classified this old palace maid as an enemy.
No matter what the reason, anyone who can make the young lady hate him so much is not a good person. Even though the young lady has never personally taken action against other annoying people, it can be seen how evil this person is.
Xiluo stepped forward and pressed the old palace maid's mute point. "Miss, don't let such filthy things dirty your feet. If you need anything, just tell Xiluo to do it. Miss, have you forgotten that I am the best at punishment?"
Yu Qingli finally came to her senses a little, and the bloodthirsty red gradually faded from her eyes. She let go of the palace maid's fingers, and the pleasure of revenge gradually calmed her down.
"Xiluo, I remember you once said you knew a place called the Torture Hall, which was used specifically for torture, right?"
"Yes, there are many kinds of punishments there, specially used to punish those who disobey."
"But there are some things that make people suffer a lot, but they can't die for ten or eight years."
"There are plenty, like human pigs. They're made by cutting off their hands and feet and putting them in a salt jar. They eat, drink, defecate, and urinate in it. As long as they're fed regularly, they won't die for ten, let alone twenty years!"
"Okay! I'll leave the person to you!"
Yu Qingli spoke calmly, and Xiluo responded without changing her expression. If the content of this conversation was not too shocking, Concubine Yu would almost think that they were discussing whether the weather was good today or what clothes to wear when going out for a trip.
Concubine Yu lowered her head, her head throbbing with pain, but she dared not be confused at all. She even secretly felt fortunate that although she had betrayed Yu Qingli, she had not thought of harming her, otherwise, this old palace maid would have suffered the same fate as herself.
When the old palace maid heard this, her face turned pale, and her already cloudy eyes were as big as Tongling, or like a fish struggling to death on the chopping board!
Xiluo had long been accustomed to life and death, and was accustomed to such scenes. She glanced at Concubine Yu expressionlessly, and found that although Concubine Yu was surprised, she just pursed her lips tightly and did not show any disrespect to Yu Qingli. She was quite satisfied with this.
When Concubine Yu saw Xiluo looking at her, her heart started beating wildly and her face turned even paler. She swore that if she had any doubts about Yu Qingli's decision, she might be the one to die here!
At this time, there is no need to sympathize with others, and there is no need to be an enemy of a powerful enemy. What's more, this person can help you escape.
Concubine Yu has never been a fool. It was because of her self-righteousness that she ended up in this situation. She thought she was smart enough, but she didn't know that there was no shortage of smart women in the harem.
The old palace maid's mute point had been untied, but she was still unable to move. When she heard that the empress in front of her, whom she had never even met, had decided her life or death, she could not help but scream loudly, "Empress, spare my life! I have never hurt anyone, why are you torturing me like this? I am innocent!"
Yu Qingli sneered. She looked down at the palace maid crawling at her feet, as if she was looking at a tiny ant. In the past, she looked at herself in the same way. At that time, her legs had been broken by this person. She even deliberately put the food as far away from her as possible for every meal, and then made her crawl over like a dog. This damn old woman laughed at her in such a miserable state, and sometimes even reported these things to her master Mei Hong.
Yu Qingli bent down and whispered in the old woman's ear, "If you don't know the reason, go to hell and ask your master. Since she has already gone down there to wait for you, you should go and keep her company. Oh, right, I'm afraid you won't die so soon. After all, you still have at least ten or twenty years to live."
The coldness in Yu Qingli's eyes was like a devil from hell that was taking lives. Perhaps even devils were gentler than her. The old palace maid was terrified. Thinking of the punishment Xiluo had mentioned before, she felt that she had no desire to live. Instead of living in pain for more than ten years, she might as well die.
This thought became increasingly clear in the old palace maid's mind. Although she didn't know how she had offended the woman in front of her, the murderous intent in her eyes did not seem like a joke, so the next moment, while Xiluo was not paying attention, she bit her tongue hard.
Bright red blood flowed from the old palace maid's mouth. Xiluo stretched out his hand and lifted her entire jaw. The severe pain made the palace maid's face turn blue, but she couldn't close her mouth. Coupled with her desperate and resentful eyes, she looked very scary.
Xiluo said indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't let you die before the young lady gives the order!"
Xiluo pressed the acupoints on the old palace maid and threw her aside, then at Yu Qingli's signal, helped Concubine Yu to the bed.
Yu Qingli had completely calmed down at this time, and her previous cruelty and bloodthirstiness had disappeared without a trace. She told Concubine Yu about her plan, and then asked Xiluo to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicinal herbs. After boiling the medicine and giving it to Concubine Yu to drink, the master and servant left the cold palace.
On the way back, Yu Qingli was still in a bad mood. Even Xiluo, who was following behind her, could clearly feel her low mood. Yu Qingli's emotions were very complicated, including hatred, anger, pain, sadness and confusion.
Yu Qingli's footsteps were a little heavy, as if she was still unable to get out of her emotions. The hazy moonlight enveloped her in sadness, making Xiluo feel as if she was very far away from her.
"Miss, although I know I shouldn't ask, I'm really curious, why did you save Concubine Yu?"
Xiluo suddenly spoke, trying to change the subject, hoping to help Yu Qingli get over her emotions. As it turned out, she succeeded.
Yu Qingli stopped and paused for a moment. "She was originally an innocent person who was implicated by me. Besides, she did not cause any harm to me in this whole thing. Sending her out of the palace is the best solution."
"But I'm worried she might not really believe us."
"If she doesn't believe it, then it must be her fate." Yu Qingli spoke slowly, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Xiluo, what you actually want to ask about is the old palace maid, right?"
Xiluo smiled. "Miss, nothing can be hidden from you. I am indeed curious. Logically, Miss shouldn't know the person in this cold palace, but looking at your expression, it seems as if you have known that person for many years and have a deep hatred for her."
Yu Qingli raised her head slightly, her bright eyes emitting a cold light in the hazy moonlight, and her tone became a little crueler. "You are right, I have a grudge against this palace maid, a grudge from my past life! Xiluo, believe it or not, this person was once my nightmare!"
Yu Qingli's voice was a little ethereal, but so real that it could not be ignored. Xiluo's intuition told her that what Yu Qingli said now was true.
"I believe it! Miss, I believe that no matter what you do, you always have your own reasons. I don't need to know what the reasons are, I just need to believe you!"
Yu Qingli was deeply moved by Xiluo's words. "Thank you, Xiluo. I was worried that what happened today would make you think I was cruel and ruthless."
"When it comes to being ruthless, Miss, how can you compare to me? Miss, have you forgotten what I used to do? Human life is the least valuable to people like us. What's more, I have seen far more filthy things than you know."
Yu Qingli couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. Really, why did she have to rely on Xiluo to remind her? Xiluo felt relieved when she saw Yu Qingli's smile.
"Xiluo! The matter of that palace maid must be handled secretly. It's best not to let anyone find out."
"Don't worry, Miss. I will find someone to replace that maid and keep her in the cold palace. No one will find out."
"Very good! By the way, let your people work hard these few days to take good care of Concubine Yu."
"Yes!"
The moonlight was gradually obscured by the dark clouds in the sky, and the already dim moonlight suddenly disappeared without a trace. The entire palace was shrouded in darkness, covering all the evil and blood in this boundless darkness.
The next morning, Yu Qingli was summoned to Queen Li's palace. To her surprise, Murong Shiling was also there. Queen Li's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she was even more flattering when she saw Yu Qingli.
