This fire burned on Luo Xuanran. Luo Xuanran secretly hated Wen Miqing for his lack of brains. Why would he embarrass Lian Zhi at this time? When Dongzhu was found from Yuyang Palace, wouldn't Wen Miqing be able to do it at that time?

Can you say what you want to say? Why is it that Lian Zhi has caught him by his pigtails and implicated him?

"Your Majesty, Princess Mi Qing's temperament is more outspoken. She always says what she says. I feel sorry for Mi Qing, so I indulge her a little bit on weekdays, but I never dare to neglect the etiquette. Your Majesty understands this clearly." Luo Xuanran said.

.

Emperor Chu looked at Luo Xuanran for a long time: "Queen, there are always various problems in doing things recently. Dongzhu, Princess Miqing, concubine, what can you do to satisfy me?"

This sentence can be said to be a blunt statement that the queen is immoral.

Lian Zhi was a little strange. Even if the emperor had no affection for Luo Xuanran, why did he suddenly attack Luo Xuanran during this period? This is so unusual!

Luo Xuanran knew that Emperor Chu was making excuses for his attack, and she was frightened for a moment.

"Your Majesty, how my concubine treats Princess Mi Qing is seen by everyone. There is nothing careless about how I treat her. When I manage the harem, I must be both lenient and strict. If I think I am indulging my concubine,

, then isn’t this harem a mess? Today’s Dongzhu incident, I am responsible for my inability to take care of it, but it is inevitable that someone will deliberately frame me!"

Listening to Luo Xuanran's rebuttal, Wen Miqing also walked to the center of the hall: "Father, my mother has treated my son very well these years. It is all my fault. I am here to apologize to Princess Wanyang and ask my father.

Your Majesty, please stop blaming your mother."

"You are really a loving mother and a filial daughter." Although Emperor Chu was not as angry as before, he was still very impressive.

When Wen Zhiyan saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, Mi Qing has indeed been a little more indulgent in these years, but this is because my father loves Mi Qing. Otherwise, even if his mother doted on Mi Qing, Mi Qing would not dare to do so.

So bold.”

"Are you accusing me?"

"I don't dare. It's just that I know that my father loves my fourth sister very much, so my fourth sister can rely on me. In my heart, my father is the most important thing from beginning to end."

What Wen Zhiyan said made Emperor Chu's expression soften a little: "Mi Qing, go and apologize to Princess Wanyang."

Wen Miqing did not dare to disobey Emperor Chu's wishes, so she walked up to Lian Zhi and said, "Princess Wanyang, I made a mistake just now, please forgive me Princess Wanyang."

"I hope Princess Miqing will learn from this lesson. I know that Emperor Chu has always loved Princess Miqing, but after all, a princess of a country is not the daughter of an ordinary family, and she still has to shoulder what she should bear."

Emperor Chu was very satisfied with Lian Zhi's words: "Princess Wan Yang is right. Mi Qing, you have been raised by the Queen's side since you were a child, and you are a role model for everyone. You must do your best, do you understand?"

"My son, I understand." Wen Miqing responded.

Lian Zhi finally figured out a little bit of Emperor Chu's thoughts. Emperor Chu probably wanted to start planning for Wen Miqing's marriage, but Wen Miqing's temperament must have been heard by major aristocratic families in private. The children of those aristocratic families must have heard about it.

They definitely don't want to marry such a living ancestor. And the family that is willing to marry will naturally not be able to catch the eyes of the Emperor of Chu.

Emperor Chu was beating the Queen, and Wen Miqing's behavior had to be restrained. As for why he was beating the Queen instead of Wen Miqing, it was very simple, because Wen Miqing was too stupid to understand what Emperor Chu meant.

Lian Zhi didn’t know what the New Year’s Eve banquet was like in previous years, but this year’s New Year’s Eve banquet was really not simple!

The people who went to search the various palaces also came back to report, but found nothing.

"Didn't you find anything?" Emperor Chu asked again.

"The slaves searched carefully, but they did not find Dongzhu."

Emperor Chu looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground, his eyes suddenly stopped on Concubine Xian, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Search the Palace of Eternal Life again."

Everyone did not dare to take a breath and allowed the palace officials to start searching the Palace of Eternal Life.

"Concubine Xian suddenly mentioned Weiyang Palace just now. Do you doubt the queen?" Emperor Chu asked Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian did not expect that Emperor Chu would actually mention herself at this time: "Your Majesty, I just thought Dongzhu might fall into

Weiyang Palace is only mentioned in order to find Dongzhu, it has no other meaning."

"Concubine Xian has always thought carefully, why didn't she think of the Palace of Eternal Life?"

"No matter how thoughtful I am, I am not as good as the Emperor. I can only think of Weiyang Palace and forget about the Palace of Immortality."

Although Concubine Xian looked calm, Lian Zhi knew that Concubine Xian was panicking.

Emperor Chu was not an emperor who was easily fooled. He was very shrewd and discovered something was wrong with Concubine Xian in a short period of time. It seemed that the loss of Dongzhu today was indeed closely related to Concubine Xian.

Eunuch Li personally led people to search the Hall of Eternal Life. After a while, Eunuch Li brought people back: "Your Majesty, the Dongzhu has been found. It is in the back hall. Maybe it rolled down without paying attention when it was brought over."

Emperor Chu looked at Dongzhu who had found him again: "Concubine Xian, if you could have thought of the Palace of Eternal Life earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't have to spend so much time searching other palaces."

"It's my concubine who didn't think well, but Dongzhu ended up in the back hall. It must be that the father-in-law is not careful, so he has implicated so many people. A good New Year's Eve banquet has caused so many things.

." Concubine Xian blamed everything on Xiao Quanzi.

Xiao Quanzi lay on the ground, not daring to say a word. To defend himself at this time was because he really didn't want to live.

"Li Sheng, you taught me this little quanzi by yourself, how could there be such a big flaw?" Emperor Chu asked.

Eunuch Li glanced at Xiao Quanzi. He had lived in the palace for so long and reached the position of chief steward. How could he not know that Xiao Quanzi had been framed? But in the struggle between the masters, the sacrifices were always made.

Being a slave, I can only say that Xiao Quanzi is unlucky. If you want to live long and well in this palace, luck is very important.

"Xiao Quanzi has acted very safely in the past, but I didn't expect that something like this happened today, and I asked the emperor to punish him." Eunuch Li gave up Xiao Quanzi, and Xiao Quanzi, who was lying on the ground, slowly closed his eyes.

Emperor Chu said casually: "Then give him a hundred punishments and go to work elsewhere."

A hundred punishments from the cane. Judging from the mistakes Xiao Quanzi made today, it would probably cost him his life. As for the following sentence of "go to other places to do things", it is simply dispensable.

Xiao Quanzi didn't even struggle and was dragged down directly.

Yuan Dai's eyes were fixed on Xiao Quanzi. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Her remaining sense told her that she must not act rashly now.

Before Xiao Quanzi was pulled out of the Palace of Eternal Life, he looked back inadvertently, and met Yuan Dai's eyes. He hoped that Yuan Dai would live well and never become a chess piece that could be discarded at will...

This year's New Year's Eve banquet ended in a hurry. Although only one eunuch was arrested in the end about the loss of Dongzhu, too many people were involved, so everyone was frightened.

After the New Year's Eve banquet, the Emperor of Chu went to the Queen's Weiyang Palace, and everyone respectfully sent the Queen off.

Wen Yunxi drank some wine tonight and felt a little dizzy, so she took Lian Zhi and walked around before going back. The two of them walked slowly around the corridor, Wen Yunxi still had lingering fears: "I was scared to death today.

Already."

"Today's Dongzhu incident has implicated too many people, so it's normal for you to be worried."

"I didn't expect that my father would scold the queen in public. My father's temper seems to have worsened today."

"The former dynasty and the harem are originally one body. The Queen's scolding in the harem should be related to the Luo family."

"We are in this deep palace and don't understand the things of the previous dynasty. We just have to take it one step at a time. As long as these things don't implicate us, that's fine."

The two were walking when they suddenly heard a sound coming from the front. It was the sound of a sap hitting someone, one after another.

Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi walked over, and it was Xiao Quanzi who was being punished. Seeing those powerful eunuchs hitting Xiao Quanzi one after another, Wen Yunxi could not help but tremble in fright.

Xiao Quanzi's back to buttocks were all stained red with blood. He gritted his teeth and held on without shouting a sound. But looking at Xiao Quanzi's appearance, he was about to lose consciousness. He couldn't hold on if he continued to be beaten like this.

How long has it been? I'm afraid that the punishment of a hundred sticks has not been completed, and Xiao Quanzi has already gone to see the King of Hell.

"Father just said that if he is punished with a hundred rods, he will be sent to work elsewhere in the future. If you continue to beat him like this, will he still have the life to work elsewhere?" Wen Yunxi really couldn't bear to see Xiao Quan.
Chapter completed!
