"I only said that there will be no heavy responsibility, not punishment." After saying this, Hongli said word by word: "From now on, the Queen will be grounded for one year and fined for one year, and within this year, Kunning
The application of Gongyi is provided according to the noble person's example; the other is
Outside...the Queen wrote a confession of her sins and read it three times a day. Yang Hai will come to Kunning Palace to supervise me on behalf of the Queen Mother. After one year, if the Queen truly realizes her mistake, she will lift the grounding, otherwise... she will continue to be grounded.
, I hope the Queen will take care of herself!"
Mingyu felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, her hands and feet were cold. Before she could speak, Hongli said loudly: "Wei Jingxuan instigated the queen to commit wrongdoings. Her crime is unforgivable. She will be dragged down and beaten to death immediately!"
Wei Jingxuan, who was standing behind Mingyu, was shocked when she heard this. She quickly knelt down and said in a panic: "This slave has been wronged. Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
In response to her kowtow and begging, Hongli was unmoved and ordered the eunuch Sixi Chuan to come in and drag her down. Seeing this, Wei Jingxuan quickly took Mingyu's hand and said: "Master, save this slave, please save this slave!"
Ever since the incident between Jin Qiu and Zhu Yong, Wei Jingxuan has been the person Mingyu relied on and trusted the most, so naturally he was reluctant to let her die and said: "Your Majesty, Jingxuan did not provoke my concubine. I beg you to be merciful and spare her life."
Facing Mingyu's plea, Hongli only said three words, "Hold it down!"
Hongli's indifference made Wei Jingxuan even more frightened, and she held on to Mingyu's hand tightly. For fear of hurting Mingyu, the two eunuchs did not dare to use too much force, and there was a stalemate for a while.
Wei Jingxuan burst into tears and said, "Master, I don't want to die, I want to continue to serve you."
"I know." Mingyu comforted in panic, and then begged again: "Your Majesty, I only have Jingxuan by my side. Please spare her life and don't kill her."
Hong Li said coldly: "She encouraged you to use such despicable means to harm A Luo, how can she still stay by your side?"
Wei Jingxuan quickly shook her head and denied, "No, it has nothing to do with the slave. This method was thought up by Zhu Yong, and it was he who went to find Sun Qiang and the two of them. It has nothing to do with the slave. The slave is unjust."
"Yes, I can testify that everything was Zhu Yong's idea. Jingxuan is innocent. She...she doesn't deserve to die. Please forgive me." In order to save Wei Jingxuan's life, Mingyu followed her words and killed her.
All the charges were pinned on Zhu Yong, and Zhu Yong was already dead, with no evidence of his death.
"Queen, there is no need to say more. In short, this palace maid cannot be kept." Hongli did not bother to distinguish between their words. Since he agreed to Ling Ruo, he must take Wei Jingxuan's life.
Under the tugging of the two eunuchs, one on the left and the other on the right, Wei Jingxuan was forced to let go of Mingyu's hand. A wave of despair arose in her heart. Could it be that she... would really die here today?
No, she has not yet become famous and has not yet become the empress of the palace. She must not die!
Thinking of this, Wei Jingxuan struggled and shouted to Mingyu for help. She knew that at this moment, the only one who could save her was Mingyu.
"Your Majesty, Jingxuan is only fourteen years old. She is still so young. Please give her a way to live." Mingyu begged Hongli urgently.
"When the queen asked people to rape A Luo, did she ever think of giving her a way out?" Hongli paused and said, "Even if it wasn't her idea, she still made a mistake by not discouraging the queen from making a mistake."
"Even if there is a mistake, the crime does not deserve death." No matter how Mingyu begged, Hongli remained unmoved.
While they were talking, Wei Jingxuan had already been pulled to the door of the palace. She held on to the door frame tightly and cried: "Master, I will not be with you in the future. You must take good care of yourself. The greatest happiness in my life is to be able to
After meeting you, if there is an afterlife, I hope to be your slave again."
Wei Jingxuan's words made Mingyu feel even more sad. He stepped forward to hold her, and then begged: "Your Majesty, you can punish me in any way you want. I just ask you to spare Jingxuan's life. She is the only one left by my side."
Already."
Hongli said coolly: "If there is a lack of maids by the Queen's side, I will immediately ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send them away."
"Except for Jingxuan, I don't want anyone else. Your Majesty, I already know my mistake, and I am willing to be punished and grounded. Please don't take away the people around me anymore." Seeing that Hongli was unmoved, she begged again.
Weeping, "To Concubine Xian, A Luo is her relative. To Concubine Chen, Jingxuan is not Concubine Chen's relative. Please give Jingxuan a way to survive and don't be so cruel to Concubine Chen."
Facing Mingyu's repeated pleas, Hongli stood up and said coldly: "You want me to give Wei Jingxuan a way to survive? Okay, I'll give it to her." Before Mingyu could speak, he continued: "As long as she
If you can get past fifty, I won't pursue it any further!"
"Fifty big board?" Mingyu said in shock: "Jingxuan is just a weak woman, how can she survive the fifty big board? This is not a way to survive at all."
"I have already given it. As for whether she can survive, it depends on her own life." After saying this, Hongli walked away without giving Mingyu a chance to continue. The latter wanted to catch up, but was stopped.
Si Xi stopped her and could only watch helplessly as Wei Jingxuan was dragged down and beaten with a cane.
Wei Jingxuan gritted her teeth and endured the pain of the cane falling on her back. If she endured it, she must survive these fifty obstacles and survive! She kept repeating this sentence in her heart until she fainted.
After the palace servants finished punishing the fifty sticks, Mingyu hurriedly ran up and used trembling hands to explore Wei Jingxuan's breathing. After detecting a faint breath, she felt relieved, she was alive... Jingxuan was still alive.
After being punished with the stick, Mingyu and Wei Jingxuan were sent back to Kunning Palace. At this moment, Kunning Palace was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except for the palace servants who were responsible for delivering meals.
Wei Jingxuan woke up at nightfall and saw Mingyu and Ji You beside her. She knew that she survived and did not die under the fifty sticks.
Seeing her open her eyes, Ji You said quickly: "Are you awake? How are you? Does it hurt too much?"
"It's okay." After Wei Jingxuan responded weakly, she struggled to say to Mingyu: "Thank you, Master, for interceding for me, otherwise I would have died long ago."
"You are loyal to me, how can I watch you die?" At this point, Mingyu sighed and said: "It's a pity that I am trapped in Kunning Palace and cannot send the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you.
I can only apply some muscle-stimulating and hemostatic medicine, but I'm afraid it will take a long time to heal."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "This slave is very satisfied to be able to save his life, but Master, not only has to be banned here for a year, but also has to write a confession. It is really too wronged."
Mingyu's face darkened and he said coldly: "I don't know how to write a confession. I am not wrong at all. Why should I write that thing?"
