The closer Nangong Lie got to the main hall where Zhenliang was being punished, the stronger the cold air emanating from his body became. In the eyes of the guilty servants, the cold air was comparable to murderous aura. Everyone he glanced at was about to be severely punished.
, which means directly losing your life.
Even those slaves who could clearly inform the Queen Mother did not dare to do so immediately.
In fact, when Zhenqi brought him to the only way to Cining Palace, Nangong Lie had already expected who was bullying Zhenliang.
When Jin Ye knelt down in front of him and told his story, he was very lucky that he did not hear the miserable sounds coming from Cining Palace, nor did he smell any bloody smell caused by the abuse of lynching.
Indiscriminate lynching is prohibited in the harem, but kneeling as a punishment does not count as lynching.
However, even the lightest punishment, in Nangong Lie's opinion, is really undeserved.
If he and the emperor's brother had not begged the mother for mercy in the past two days, the mother would have punished Zhenliang like this today, and everything would be fine. However, both he and the emperor's brother had begged for Zhenliang. Although the mother looked ugly at that time, she still refused.
Will look for any trouble in Zhenliang.
Although this was not the first time that his mother had gone back on her word, and he was somewhat used to it, this time, he was really intolerable.
Standing outside the closed door of the main hall, Jin Ye did not dare to open the door. He only stood on the edge and waited for Nangong Lie to push it open in person, but his heart was no less anxious than anyone in Qiongyu Palace.
Nangong Lie stood outside the hall door and stopped. The suppressed anger in his chest was on the verge of collapse. His breathing was unconsciously heavy and his heartbeat was accelerating.
As a well-behaved emperor, he knew that he should have pushed the door in gracefully, but somehow, a new anger emerged from under his feet, forcing him to kick him before he could even lift his arm.
Toward the door.
boom--
The door of the main hall made a loud noise, which almost scared Zhenliang's soul away.
Jin Ye and Nangong Lie didn't know that Zhenliang was so uncomfortable that he could no longer hold on, so he was concentrating on reciting: When will the bright moon come? Asking the sky about the wine, I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it tonight...
When Nangong Lie suddenly kicked the door open, she was reciting "I want to ride the wind back" attentively. When she came back to her senses, Zhenliang felt that she was really going to be scared to death by the sudden intruder.
He rode the wind directly back home.
Intuitively speaking, Zhenliang did not think that the person who came in was the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother's people. In order to see clearly who the person was, Zhenliang had to look back and look sideways.
Unexpectedly, her knee twisted and pulled slightly, causing her face to wrinkle tightly in pain, and she even screamed without any image, "Ah——"
Seeing Zhenliang kneeling upright, Nangong Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that she had passed out on the ground without anyone to look after her.
But as soon as he heard her screams obviously caused by pain, Nangong Lie's heart suddenly twitched, suffocating, tight, and painful.
Without thinking about it, and without even realizing that he was the one who made her cry out in pain, Nangong Lie quickly walked to Zhenliang, without saying anything, squatted down and beat her down without hesitation.
Hug him.
He had not knelt down many times in his life, but even so, he could understand how tragic the consequences of kneeling on the ground for a long time without food or drink would be.
However, he only knew that Zhenliang's knees would be so painful that he could not walk, but he ignored that she could not be touched easily.
"Ah - ah - damn you -" The kneeling knee was suddenly straightened and bent, and the pain was so cold that I almost cried for father and mother. I didn't understand Nangong Lie's kindness at all, and glared at him fiercely,
Looking like he wanted to chop him to death, he roared, "It hurts - it hurts so much - Nangong Lie, you bastard - did you mean it - it hurts - ah - neither of you, mother and son, are good people -
Ah——ah——”
The skin is connected to the flesh and blood, the flesh and blood is connected to the bones, and the bones are connected to the tendons. When the pain makes him lose his mind, Zhenliang temporarily forgets where he is, the identity of the person holding him, and what he should do.
Following the etiquette, when the pain was heartbreaking, she would just scold anyone she didn't like, in order to relieve her whole body of unbearable discomfort and pain.
The servants standing outside the door heard Zhenliang's words and were so frightened that no one dared to say a word. They secretly thought that Concubine Liang must be finished, completely finished. The emperor kindly picked her up, but she dared to insult the emperor. This pampered concubine was so spoiled.
A woman, a shameless and ugly woman! It’s over!
Perhaps, in the next moment, the Emperor will lose his pity and heartache for Concubine Liang, and will be full of gratitude for what the Queen Mother has done, and lament that this woman has taught her a lesson well.
A bunch of servants were waiting for the emperor to throw Concubine Liang to the ground mercilessly, or to order her to be sent directly to the cold palace for disposal. However, the emperor just frowned slightly and did not take any action they expected.
In fact, when Nangong Lie held Zhenliang in his arms and quickly stood up, he regretted holding her up like this. He was very surprised. How could she be in his arms in an instant? How did he do it?
? Has any woman in the harem been held in his arms so nervously? That has never happened before.
Since it was against common sense, Nangong Lie was about to put her down quickly, but before he could loosen his grip, she started to get angry and yell at him.
The strange thing is that after hearing her scolding him viciously, Nangong Lie didn't feel the slightest bit angry in his heart. Instead, he felt her body shaking violently due to the pain in her knees, and his hands actually gave up the plan of letting go of her and putting her down.
He couldn't help but comfort himself by saying that he was holding her not only for his aunt's sake, but also to atone for his mother's sins. Therefore, he might as well hold her until the end.
The severe pain that Zhenliang felt came one after another, sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. It was not that annoying at all!
Closing his eyes tightly, Zhenliang curled up with his face in Nangong Lie's arms and exhaled loudly, relying on this method to relieve the pain. He was completely unaware of how intimate, dependent and dependent his actions at this moment were in the eyes of others.
How unprecedented.
Someone finally informed the Queen Mother when Nangong Lie walked into the hall. The Queen Mother rushed over with a gloomy face and angrily blocked Nangong Lie's path, "Your Majesty, put her down!"
Originally she just disliked Concubine Liang, but since Nangong Yu was cut off by Concubine Liang, she hated this woman. If God allowed it, she really wanted Concubine Liang to kneel on her knees for three days and three nights, even
Kneel down and die! She is not afraid of any consequences.
Since her punishment of Concubine Liang has begun and is going very well, she naturally does not allow anyone to disrupt it, even if this person is the emperor!
She really couldn't figure out what went wrong and how could the emperor be brought here? Her son would never come to see her out of the blue.
