Chapter 463 Bath Baptism
"Then what you promised me is no longer valid? If so, I can't let you off easily! Mr. Zhu, do you really think I don't know what happened between you and that man?" The woman said, then turned and left.
Eunuch Zhu looked down and saw that the woman had no shadow under her. Even under the oil lamp, there was no shadow under her.
Ghost?
What else could it be but a ghost?
"Stop!" Eunuch Zhu asked uncertainly, "Are you really Meixiang? Have you been dead for five years?"
"I don't know. I just remember that five years ago, you told me that you could marry me. You said you would ask Concubine Jin for it. You said that!" the woman said faintly.
"Empress Jin?" Eunuch Zhu was stunned for a moment. He muttered to himself: "Empress Jin, there is a girl beside her. What is her name? I just... just did it to her once, and she jumped into the pond!"
"Well, it was so cold in the pond. Someone rescued me recently, so I came out!" The woman nodded, still looking gentle.
However, no matter how Eunuch Zhu squinted his eyes, he could not see the woman's face clearly.
"What do you want to see me for today?" Eunuch Zhu asked.
"Restore my innocence. You said before that I deliberately seduced the general and killed me. Now, I want you to tell others that it was you who killed me!" said the woman.
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Eunuch Zhu shook his head: "At the beginning, it was him who told me that I wanted to get rid of General Qi. He also told me that as long as I succeeded, he would make all the palace maids die violently in the future!"
"So, did he do it? Didn't he just abandon you when you were questioned? What do you think he is doing now? Is he running around for you, begging for you?" The woman said, and walked out.
"Stop, tell us clearly who you are and why you came to us?" Eunuch Zhu shouted hysterically. He looked painful and terrified. What the woman said was right. Although it was just some ordinary questions, these words really went into his heart and made him know that everything was like that and he was the one who was calculated. "I am Meixiang.
I want to tell you that I died unjustly. You forced me to death!" After the woman finished speaking, she walked out.
There was no result. She didn't say what she was going to do to him, but it made Eunuch Zhu tremble continuously until he had urinary incontinence.
Outside the dungeon, Guihua tied up her hair and put on an outer robe. She walked to the front of the sedan chair and said, "Your Majesty, I'm done. I didn't say much. I just chatted nonsense with him!"
"Well, let's go. Go back and have a good rest. I'll come again tomorrow when it's dawn!" After Concubine Li finished speaking, she raised her hands, and the sedan chair was lifted up and left. Guihua, wearing her clothes, followed closely behind Concubine Li.
The next day, Concubine Li came and looked at Eunuch Zhu with a dark face and asked, "Eunuch Zhu, haven't you eaten yet? This won't do. Eunuch Gao hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, he will say that we have treated you harshly?"
"Eunuch Li, I am just a servant. Please decide what you want. Let me be prepared. I didn't do anything, but ended up like this. Although I don't know why, I'm willing!" said Eunuch Zhu.
"Oh, it seems that you haven't figured it out yet! Well, looking at Eunuch Zhu's condition, I'm afraid he's not feeling well. I'll have
someone help him relax!" After saying that, Concubine Li turned to the jailer and said, "Go, let Eunuch Zhu take a bath in the bath over there and have a good rest!" "Bath!" Eunuch Zhu's whole body tensed up, and he immediately stepped back: "No, no, Concubine Li, if you have anything to ask, just say it. If you have anything to say, just ask it. I will tell you nicely and honestly!"
"That's not the case. I think the eunuch is also wronged. It's just that those maids are troublesome and always keep biting me. There is no way, I will let someone serve the eunuch!" After Concubine Li finished speaking, she turned and walked outside, saying as she walked, "Well, I will come back in two days. I believe that by then, Eunuch Zhu will have figured it out!"
"No, Concubine Li, you stay, you stay, you listen to me!" Eunuch Zhu held the bars of the cell and kept shouting.
Several jailers came and dragged Eunuch Zhu away. They didn't cover his mouth when they heard his wolf-like howling. There were many other prisoners in the cell. Seeing that the deputy chief steward of the palace's Ministry of Internal Affairs was treated like this, they knew that it would be useless if they continued to resist and conceal the truth, so they reported everything they knew.
Eunuch Zhu couldn't hold on for an hour and was dragged back from the so-called bathing pool. He
was covered in blood all the way until he was dragged to the door of his cell.
The so-called bathing pool had many iron spikes as thick as arms in the middle, which were specially used for punishment and humiliation.
If it was just punishment, it would be better.
However, the bathing pool is also humiliating. People will be stripped naked and then placed on the iron spikes...
Just thinking about it, many people in the cell tightened their legs.
This is a torture method that the second prince of the previous dynasty came up with. No matter whether it is a male or female prisoner, once they are sent into the bathing pool and come back, they are basically useless. Not only will they lose half their lives, but they may not even be able to stand up again in the next life.
What's more, this eunuch Zhu is still a eunuch.
He has always been brooding over his castration, so he is so perverted that he tortures others. Now, he is stripped naked and let people watch him, and he is treated in an extremely humiliating way. This makes him really live a life worse than death!
Eunuch Zhu was thrown into a haystack. The jailer sneered and said, "Someone came to deal with you these two days. They probably wanted to kill you to silence you. However, our Prince Xian had anticipated it, so they didn't succeed. Otherwise, you would have died eight hundred times!"
The man covered in blood in the haystack didn't move. It was unknown whether he heard these words.
The jailer spat and turned away.
After about half a day, the people in the haystack moved.
"I want to see Concubine Li!"
"What?" The jailer asked outside.
"I want to see Concubine Li!" Eunuch Zhu said again.
"Oh, Concubine Li has said that she is not free these two days and she will not see anyone!" The jailer replied and then continued to do his own things.
