"Please forgive my mistress, she is weak and cannot bear the punishment!" Ru Liu kept kowtowing and begging, while Shu Mu Lu knelt on the ground without saying a word. Faced with Ru Liu's plea, Dai Jia didn't listen at all.
Not into the ears
, impatiently said to the two eunuchs: "Take Lady Hui down, remember, she is not allowed to get up until she has finished reading the palace rules. If I let you know that you two disobey the order and let her get up without permission, I will blame you."
You're welcome."
Just as the two young eunuchs were about to agree, a cold voice suddenly came from outside, "In my opinion, the person who should study the palace rules carefully is the concubine."
The Emperor, Dai Jia, was startled. He turned around and saw Yinzhen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, striding into the room. Seeing his gloomy face, Dai Jia's hands trembled and she held the tea cup in her hand.
It spilled out immediately and burned her fingers. At the same time, she recovered from her shock. She quickly put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "When did the emperor come here? But the general and concubine were shocked."
"I haven't been here long, but it was enough to hear every word that Cheng Bin said clearly. Oh, Cheng Bin is so majestic." Yinzhen sat down in the middle of the square and flicked the beads in his hand on the table.
, was so frightened that Dai Jiashi jumped up, and then hurriedly said: "I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen said without any pretense: "Then tell me what sins you have committed?"
Dai Jia didn't know what crime she had committed. She was speechless. Yinzhen glanced at her and said nothing. Shu Mulu, who was still kneeling on the ground, said: "You are not in good health. Get up quickly."
Yeah, and Ru Liu too, don’t kneel down anymore.”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Mrs. Shumulu stood up with difficulty, leaned against Ruliu and said in a voice: "Your Majesty, please don't blame Concubine Cheng. It's because I didn't teach Ruliu well, and she was disrespectful to Concubine Cheng."
"You don't need to say it. I heard the reason very clearly." Yinzhen stopped her from continuing, "Cheng Bin, even if Ru Liuzhen does something wrong, you can just say a few words to her. She needs to be slapped five times.
Ten?" This sentence left Dai Jiashi speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"And Jiahui, you know that she has been sick for a long time and is very weak, and yet you still ask her to kneel outside and recite the palace rules. Is this appropriate?" At this point, his voice suddenly became sharp and he scolded: "I
It looks like you want to kill Jiahui on purpose!"
This sentence was so serious that Dai Jia was so panicked that she knelt down quickly and said with fear on her face: "Your Majesty has unjustly sentenced me to death. How could I have such vicious thoughts? It was really Hui Gui who had just contradicted me. I was momentarily confused."
I was so angry that I became a little stricter."
"You said Jiahui contradicted you, but I saw them begging for mercy all the time. Huh, Cheng concubine, you are an old man who has been with me for many years. When did you become so vicious like Nian, and tell lies?
.”
Dai Jiashi regretted it endlessly, but it was too late to regret it now, so she could only defend herself vigorously, "Your Majesty has a clear warning, I really don't have it."
At this time, Mrs. Shu Mulu said: "Your Majesty, can I allow my concubine to say something?"
When facing her, Yinzhen's face softened slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Shu Mulu coughed slightly and said sincerely: "What happened just now was my fault and it was Ru Liu's fault. It is right for the concubine to teach me a lesson, so I ask your Majesty not to talk about your concubine again."
Yinzhen said nothing and turned to Dai Jia, "Listen for yourself. At this time, Jiahui is still interceding for you, but you are punishing her in different ways. You have gained so much in vain."
age."
This was the first time that Dai Jia was scolded so harshly by him. Tears fell down and she choked with sobs: "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen hesitated for a moment and saw that Mr. Shu Mulu kept shaking his head at him, waving his hand and saying: "That's all, because you have followed me for many years, I will spare you this time, but remember, there will never be a next time."
"Yes, I understand." Dai Jia quickly thanked her and stood up at Yinzhen's signal. As soon as Hui Qiu followed suit, she heard Yinzhen say: "Do you want to stand up too, please?"
Hui Qiu trembled with fright, and knelt down without thinking, shrinking back and not daring to speak. She only heard Yinzhen say: "I just heard what you said in Cheng Bin's ear outside. Hui Gui is a noble and arrogant person. Except
The Queen doesn’t take anyone in her eyes, does she?”
Hui Qiu didn't expect that Yinzhen even heard these words. He trembled like chaff and said in a trembling voice: "My slave deserves to die! My slave deserves to die!"
"Yes, you deserve to die!" Yinzhen said the words that frightened Huiqiu, and wanted to plead again, but Yinzhen no longer gave her this chance, and said to Su Peisheng, who was standing aside with his head bowed: "Take him down, slap your mouth,
Until all her teeth are knocked out."
When Hui Qiu heard this, she was so frightened that she lost her soul. She quickly begged: "No, Your Majesty, I don't want it! I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again. Please give me a chance."
"The country is easy to change, but the character is hard to change." This was the answer Yinzhen gave her. Dai Jia had been with him for so many years, and she had some kind of friendship. In addition, Shu Mulu's plea was able to avoid guilt, but Hui Qiu was not guilty.
What the hell, a mere palace maid dared to sow discord among them, it would be a mercy not to kill her.
Hui Qiu was forcibly dragged down. Dai Jiashi did not plead for her, and did not even dare to say a word. Although Ruliu felt it was a bit cruel, thinking of Hui Qiu's previous actions, he felt that she deserved everything. As for
Mrs. Shumulu kept her head lowered, making it difficult for people to see the expression on her face clearly.
After Dai Jia left, Yinzhen brushed his robe and said angrily: "There are a lot of things going on in the palace during this period, but she still wants to make a fuss. It's really hard to live more and more."
"It's all over. Don't be angry, Your Majesty." As soon as she said this, Shumulu couldn't help coughing, which made Yinzhen frown for a while. He stood up and stroked her back in person: "The same goes for the imperial doctor, a
After treating the cold for so long, not only did it not heal, but it became even more serious."
After the coughing stopped, Mrs. Shumulu raised her head and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame the imperial physician. It's my concubine's own failure and it has nothing to do with the imperial physician."
"I haven't told you yet, but you recognized me first." Looking at those familiar eyes, Yinzhen's expression became more and more relaxed, "I ask you why you haven't told me that you have been sick for so long. If I hadn't overheard
He said, I didn’t know that your cold had not recovered yet.”
Shu Mulu held Yinzhen's hand and said softly: "The emperor has many things to do. In addition, the queen mother is seriously ill, and sister Liu is pregnant again. She is even more busy. I can't bear to bother the emperor with my minor illness."
Hearing what she said, Yinzhen was moved and distressed, "Look at yourself, you can't even stand well, and you still cough all the time. Is this a minor illness?" After that, he said to Ruliu who was standing aside.
: "Go and ask the imperial doctors to come over and ask them to diagnose your master's pulse again and prescribe medicine."
