King Zhou said sternly,"Uncle Mei, this is called 'Paolao', and it is used to punish those who commit treason. Today, I'll brand you alive in this golden hall. I'll make your body burn and your flesh rot, and your bones turn to ashes. In the future, if there are people who spread heresy to confuse the public, take Mei Bo as an example. I will never tolerate and nurture evil.”
Mabel laughed coldly and shouted without fear,""Foolish ruler, Uncle Mei's death is as light as a feather. I only have a pity that the world will be lost in the hands of you, this fatuous ruler. How will I face the former king? Alas!”
King Zhou slammed the table angrily and roared,""Execution."
The guards rushed up and stripped Mabel of his clothes. He was naked, and his hands and feet were tied with iron chains. They pushed him to the copper pillar, forcing him to hug his arms and stick his body close to it. The copper pillar, which was burning red, sizzled when it came into contact with the person's body. Thick smoke rose from it, and it was extremely smelly. Mabel screamed several times. His skin was charred and his flesh was rotten. In just a moment, he was turned into ashes and a wisp of his resentful soul was blown away by the wind.
Poor Uncle Mei was so loyal and outspoken, but he suffered such a terrible disaster.
The civil officials and generals standing on both sides were scared out of their wits. Some timid civil officials fainted on the spot, and Bi Gan felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife, and he burst into tears.
However, King Zhou, Di Xin, laughed heartily and looked on excitedly. He turned around and said to Su Daji,""Beloved consort's torture instruments are indeed extraordinary, zhen is very comforted.”
Su Daji did not reply. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling. She was so scared that she fainted.
King Zhou hurriedly escorted the beauty back to the palace. Before he left, he said to the guard,"It seems that one copper pillar is far from enough. Let the craftsmen forge a few more to punish those arrogant people.”
When he returned to Longevity Immortal Palace, he called the imperial physician to check his pulse. The imperial physician said,"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is only frightened. Her body is fine. She will be fine after resting for a while.”
Only then did King Zhou heave a sigh of relief. He saw Hu Ximei, the nine-headed pheasant spirit, and Liu Pipa, the jade pipa spirit, walking over lightly. He said,""This servant congratulates Your Majesty on getting rid of the traitor and returning the Imperial Concubine's innocence. The Imperial Concubine is like a brother to us, and we are happy when she is happy. It's just that Niangniang has been working hard for the emperor for days and is physically and mentally exhausted. That's why she fainted in the golden hall and frightened the emperor. This servant thanks the emperor for Niangniang's great kindness and is endlessly grateful.”
The sweet words of the two evildoers made King Zhou smile and say,"If my beloved consort is not feeling well, let her rest. Zhen and the two of you will hold a banquet to celebrate your achievements and celebrate the cool night.”
The Longevity Immortal Palace was suddenly filled with music, flute and flute playing together, singing and dancing. It was extremely lively. Liu Pipa gently waved her sleeves and slowly twisted her slender waist. She danced with the music, and her delicate body also spun. Her dancing posture was like an immortal, charming and moving. The most charming thing was her smile when she looked back. King Zhou was mesmerized by it.
That Liu Pipa was originally born extremely seductive. She had a waist like a bee and shoulders like a willow. Her oval face was crystal clear like jade. Under her curved eyebrows, her handsome eyes were soul-stirring. Seeing that the Emperor was happy, she became even more excited and unrestrained. She took a pipa and took a light breath. Her jade fingers gently played the strings. The sound of the pipa was like gurgling water. The butterflies flew and the cranes danced. It was cheerful and smooth, and it lasted endlessly. King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard that.
After the song ended, King Zhou praised loudly,"The sound of nature, the sound of nature, I will reward you heavily.”
"What reward does the Emperor want to give me?" Liu Pipa asked in a coquettish voice.”
"You can choose any gold, silver, or jewelry in the palace.”
Liu Pipa shook her head and replied,"Those are all common things. I really don't care about them." As long as the emperor can stay with my sister forever, I will be satisfied.”
King Zhou was touched and nodded repeatedly." I have obtained Beauty Su. It's like I have obtained a treasure. I will always be in love with her, and the phoenix will sing in harmony."”
King Zhou and the demoness were drinking and dancing in the Longevity Immortal Official, making merry in every way possible. Before they knew it, it was already the second watch of the watchtower and drum horn. In the palace, except for the Longevity Immortal Palace, which was still singing and dancing in peace and music, the other palace people had already gone to bed. The decadent music drifted and swirled in the long corridor of the palace, spreading with the wind, and the sound spread to the middle palace of Queen Jiang in Lutai.
Queen Jiang Zitong came from a general. Her father, Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dongbo, was one of the three important marquises of the Shang Dynasty. His family was prominent. Queen Jiang was chaste and virtuous by nature, and she was the mother of the world. Ever since she married King Zhou, she had been kind and virtuous. She had done her best to help her husband manage the harem. Even King Zhou treated her with respect and affection.
That was before Beauty Su came.
Hearing the harsh voice, the queen was unhappy and asked the maid beside her,""What kind of person is singing and dancing in the middle of the night?”
"Your Majesty, this is a banquet between the Emperor of Longevity Immortal Palace and the beauties. They haven't left yet," Yun Bi replied hurriedly.”
Queen Jiang heaved a long sigh and said," His Majesty has been traveling and acting wantonly recently. He's capricious and has made 'brands' to harm loyal and loyal people. If this goes on, I'm afraid the country will be in danger."”
Yun Cui was the Queen's favorite daughter. They were close friends in the harem and had nothing to hide from each other. He was also dissatisfied that the Emperor favored Concubine Su and neglected the Queen, so he scolded,"It's all because of that slut Daji, who instigated adultery and bewitched the emperor. The 'branding' was done by her. Senior Physician Mabel died a horrible death, not even leaving a corpse behind. It could be seen that this b * tch had a vicious heart, lost all morality and did not have a good ending. The Empress is the master of the harem, she can't be indifferent and allow that slut to do whatever she wants.”
Queen Jiang shook her head and said," His Majesty has a bad temper and is used to being bossy and domineering. Moreover, he is now obedient to Daji and obstinate. If I go to ask him now, I'm afraid it will backfire."”
Yun Bi knew that the Queen was weak and kind, so she sighed and said,""Niangniang, the emperor has treated you well and is also considered to be loyal. Niangniang should also consider herself for the sake of the country. Once disaster arises, it will be too late to regret.”
Although Yun Ke was a maid, she was also a clever maid. She was used to seeing people who were cunning and scheming in the palace. The palace walls were like blood and the maids were like horses. So what if she was the queen? Wasn't Su Daji enough to make King Zhou fall head over heels for her?
She was worried for the Empress and for herself.
Queen Jiang didn't answer. Instead, she said,""It's already late. Go back to your bedroom and rest.”
The night passed without a word. The next morning, a palace maid came to report that Prime Minister Bigan was at the palace gate to see the Queen. Jiang Zitong was puzzled. To avoid suspicion, Bigan never came to the harem. What was wrong today? Why did he have to come to the harem? He thought of the recent unrest in Zhaoge, the turmoil in the court, the panic among the officials, the resignation of Prime Minister Shang Rong, and the treacherous officials. The Prime Minister was now on his own and was mentally and physically exhausted. He was afraid that he had a favor to ask of him, so he quickly went out of the palace to welcome him.
After Bi Gan paid his respects to the Queen, Jiang Zitong invited him to the palace. He shook his head and said,""Queen, please forgive me. Bigan had no choice but to break into the harem to see Her Majesty the Queen. It goes against common sense. Please tell me about the matter.”
