Chapter 462: The evildoer who brings disaster to the country
"That's right. Who in the palace doesn't know that ordinary people can't enter Nianxue Pavilion?" Mu Tianxue slowly walked out from the corner, his phoenix eyes swept across the five or six palace maids in front of him, and said in a calm voice: "
Then who of you will tell me, and no one in the palace knows, what is the crime of arranging discussions about the emperor and the queen?"
Listening to her voice, it was as light as the breeze and as calm as still water, but it conveyed a heart-shaking aura and an invisible sense of oppression, which immediately enveloped several people around her.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Mu Tianxue, the faces of several palace maids turned pale as paper and they trembled with fear.
After hearing Mu Tianxue's words, the maids thumped, thumped, and all knelt on the ground, kowtowing hurriedly and begging for mercy, "I'm here to see the Queen. I deserve death. I beg the Queen to have mercy! I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg the Queen to forgive me."
crime!!"
All the kneeling palace maids were trembling with fright. Their faces became increasingly pale and bloodless under the candlelight. In panic and fear, they kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic, and kept begging, "Empress, please have mercy, Empress."
Forgive me, I deserve to die.
Mu Tianxue Feng narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the kneeling palace maids, and said in an indifferent voice: "A crime worthy of death? What crime did you all commit? Why didn't anyone answer my question?"
"Reply... back to the Queen, it's the slaves who are mean-mouthed. They shouldn't talk about the Queen behind her back. The slaves deserve to die. Please forgive me. The slaves slap their own words. I will never dare to do it again. I beg the Queen to spare my life."
The older palace maid said in horror while slapping her own mouth. Several other palace maids saw this and slapped their own mouths one after another, not forgetting to beg for mercy.
Mu Tianxue lowered his eyes and looked at the palace maids, and then said after a few seconds: "Come on, everyone, get up. Today is a warning to you. If you can't control your tongue anymore, then you will be sent to this palace."
My subordinates, I will discipline them for you."
"Thank you, the empress, for not killing me. I will be careful in my words and deeds. I will never dare to gossip again. Thank you, the empress. I will live a thousand years."
When the palace ladies were granted amnesty, they quickly kowtowed and thanked them. Fearing that they would hear the words "kill without mercy" coming from Mu Tianxue's mouth, they hurriedly retreated.
"The Queen, let them go so easily?" Seeing the maids escaping in a hurry, Qingzhu's face was full of anger. He actually arranged that the Queen was the daughter of the guilty minister and let them go so easily. It was really an advantage to them.
"If the maids in this palace didn't have any gossip, wouldn't their lives be too pitiful? Besides, what they said was just something passed down from the court. It would be better to teach them a lesson. What can I do to embarrass them?" Mu
Tianxue turned around and walked back, "Let's go, it's getting late, I won't go to the archery range tonight."
After saying that, he walked back to Nianxue Pavilion. Qingzhu thought that Mu Tianxue felt sad after hearing those words, so he comforted him: "My queen, don't worry about what you say outside, let alone what happens in the court. Your Majesty is
I love you sincerely, this is more important than anything else. Tomorrow will be the canonization ceremony, and your honor as queen will be announced to the world, and the whole world will celebrate."
Mu Tianxue looked at Qingzhu and smiled, "This is natural. I don't need anything. As long as I have a sincere heart, that's enough."
She knew that today's discussion in the court had something to do with her, but she didn't know that it would be so huge. Hundreds of civil and military officials were listed in the memorial, and the prime minister risked his own life to give his advice. He actually crashed into the Jinluan Palace on the spot and threatened the emperor with death.
If he could not change the emperor's decision, he would die to spread the rumor that she was the daughter of the guilty minister. The emperor of Jinluan Palace showed his loyalty and killed Mingjian, taking the opportunity to miss the ceremony of canonizing her as the queen.
Overtly and secretly, she has informed the world that she, Mu Tianxue, is the daughter of a judge. If she can return to the palace again with a guilty body, she has risked the disapproval of the world. How can she be named the queen of a country and cause trouble in the harem?
In addition, because of her, the emperor had abandoned the harem for many years and has not established a concubine, which further confirmed that her beauty is a disaster and she is a monster and a disaster for the country and the people.
Qingzhu led the way, followed by Mu Tianxue. After a stick of incense, the two of them arrived at Nianxue Pavilion. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Long Chen also walking out of the inner hall, and the bright moonlight shone on his slim body.
It emits a faint silver light, which is instantly beautiful.
"Hong Shao said you went out for a walk. My husband was just about to look for you. It's time you came back." Long Chen also put one hand behind his back and placed the other naturally on his abdomen. He walked towards Mu Tianxue with a smile. "From now on."
If you want to take a walk, my husband will accompany you; if you feel bored, my husband can accompany you for a walk outside the palace."
Mu Tianxue quickly stepped forward, pulled him to sit down under the cherry blossom tree in the yard, and squeezed his shoulders behind him, "Seeing that you are busy with political affairs, I didn't bother you. I just walked outside Nianxue Pavilion for a while.
My son, it’s nothing, but you said you wanted to accompany me out of the palace to play, wouldn’t you just love me?”
"Why are you here?" Long Chen also grabbed the hand on his shoulder and gently pulled it, pulling Mu Tianxue behind him into his arms, holding her and saying: "The palace is too stuffy, I know you won't be able to stay here any longer.
Instead of locking you in the palace forcibly, I'd rather do whatever you want.
My husband hopes to give you as much happiness as breathing and as long as life. I promise you that no matter when you want to go to the palace, I will accompany you."
"Well," Mu Tianxue picked up a strand of his hanging black hair and played with it: "Then... after the canonization ceremony tomorrow, can we leave the palace?"
Long Chen also lowered his eyes and looked at her, pondering for a few seconds, "Are you sure you still have the energy to wander out of the palace after the canonization ceremony tomorrow?"
"Listen to what you said, tomorrow's ceremony seems very tiring?" Mu Tianxue looked up at Long Chen with her eyes raised and said in surprise: "Can't it be true?"
She had heard that the queen's canonization ceremony was grand and grand, and she had to receive a gold seal, worship, and various procedures. The most important thing was that she had to wear a phoenix robe, a court bead, and a phoenix crown that crushed her head, and received the edict and worship in the court hall.
She originally thought it would be no big deal, but after what Long Chen said, it seemed that it was not that simple. Maybe she didn't even have the strength to stand up after the ceremony.
"I'm not tired, I'm afraid you won't be used to wearing those complicated things on your head." Long Chen also picked her up from his arms and walked towards the inner hall. As he walked, he said: "Tomorrow morning
, you have to get up early, burn incense, bathe, get dressed, and if you don’t go to bed early tonight, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow.”
While he was talking, Long Chen had already carried Mu Tianxue into the bathhouse of Feng Bath Hall. The water mist was curling up, the fragrance of flowers was filling the air, and the smell gave him an unusual sense of comfort.
Mu Tianxue looked at the small purple flowers floating on the water, which turned out to be lavender that soothes the nerves and helps with sleep.
This dynasty was called Lingxiangcai. She had never seen it in the royal garden of the palace. The first time she saw it was in the inn where she stayed on the way back to the palace five years ago.
"Yu Mian said that this flower has a very good soothing effect, so my husband ordered someone to plant this flower in the courtyard of Jinluan Palace." Long Chen also looked at her and smiled softly: "Now, the whole courtyard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
After the ceremony tomorrow, if you still have energy, my husband will take you back to Prince Chen's Mansion to have a look."
