Daiyu who was standing next to her saw that neither of them spoke and the atmosphere became very condensed. She gave Jiu Si a subtle hint and signaled her to stop. Don't really anger the emperor, and it would not be possible to end it then.<
/p>
Jiusi knew what she was worried about, but now was the critical moment of the game. If she lost her momentum first, then they would be the ones who would suffer, and she would not admit defeat.
He quietly pulled off her hand that was holding his clothes, patted her gently, told her to leave it alone, and then continued to confront the emperor.
The two of them faced off for a long time. Seeing that he was still speechless and Daiyu could not stand any longer, Jiusi had no choice but to break the deadlock: "Your Majesty, do you think a woman's innocence is not important? Our sisters deserve to be raped."
The calculation failed”
She is not the kind of person who thinks she is powerful and does not take anyone seriously. The reason why she adopts this careless attitude is not only because she does not want people to think that her sisters are people who can be bullied at will, but also
One intention is to dispel the emperor's fear of her.
Ever since the emperor discovered that her maids were very powerful, he gradually became more wary of her. What happened this time was not so much that those people were plotting against her and Daiyu, but rather that it was the emperor's test of her.
If she can't solve it, it proves that she is incompetent and will be given up sooner or later. If she can solve it perfectly, the emperor will pay more attention to her, but after everything is solved, she will not want to die.
But being able to solve the trouble while leaving a big problem for him like now is the most satisfying state for him.
The emperor would definitely be wary of using a person with scheming and superb force. But if she only had superb force but not much scheming, or had obvious shortcomings, the emperor would be much less wary when using her.
.
If she were alone, she might not care so much, but now that she is the daughter of the Lin family, she has to think more.
Moreover, she has been thinking about one thing in her heart, which is to earn a royal decree for the original mistress, and it is a royal decree that has nothing to do with the Lin family.
She always remembered the scene when the original mistress died. Even if she didn't have much feelings for the other party, she still wanted to do more for that poor woman.
For example, to fulfill her wish so that she and the original owner can escape from the Lin family prison...
The emperor didn't know what Jiusi was thinking. Seeing that he was so presumptuous, he couldn't help but frown and said dissatisfiedly: "Wangshi, when did I say that? Now you are getting more and more bold."
, even I dare to try."
Even if he really thinks so in his heart, he cannot admit it, otherwise, if it is spread, how will the world view him as an emperor?
However, what the Lin sisters did this time must have gone too far, and it would be impossible to let them go easily, otherwise they would not be able to explain to the courtiers, and it would inevitably lead to another big trouble.
He thought about it and felt that he had to start with the other party, so he pretended to be angry and said: "No matter how much dissatisfaction you have in your heart, it is not the daughter of a fifth-rank official who can destroy the family of a first-rank official.
Reason.
Besides, something happened to so many girls and young men attending the banquet that day. How do you explain it?
Don't tell me that you didn't do those things. Since I announced your arrival, I am absolutely sure that I can prove that you did it."
The evidence was all left behind by Jiusi on purpose. Of course she knew it was true.
But she is not a person who is willing to suffer losses, and she must not be punished like this, otherwise she will not know how she will be bullied in the future!
Thinking of this, she became cruel, pulled Daiyu to the ground, knelt down, and said in a cold voice: "Since the emperor has already made up his mind, it doesn't matter whether I admit it or not. It's better for the emperor to just accuse me directly.
This way, we can give an explanation to the courtiers as soon as possible."
Oh, an emperor needs to answer to his ministers, I don't believe you can feel comfortable.
Sure enough, after the emperor heard what she said, his first reaction was not that he was happy that she bowed her head and accepted the punishment, but said with some displeasure: "Give them an explanation.
It's just a fight between children, and it's not a major national event. As the king of a country, do I need to give an explanation to these ministers for this? What's the etiquette of it!
I am not punishing you to give them an explanation. I am punishing you because I think you have done something wrong.
Otherwise, if everyone is as presumptuous as you and demolishes the courtyard walls of officials’ homes when a group of them is unhappy, then will I still have the capital?”
After Jiusi heard this, he didn't say anything, but looked at him with suspicion, as if you say whatever you want, I just don't believe it anyway, which made the emperor very depressed.
But after his anger subsided, he regained his senses.
Some people who can be emperors are stupid. After reacting, he could see Jiusi's little schemes, but he didn't take it to heart.
It’s good to have a little calculation. If someone doesn’t know how to calculate at all, he won’t feel at ease when using it. He is always worried that something will go wrong.
However, those who deserve to be punished must still be punished. Although he admires Lin Jiusi, it does not mean that he can tolerate her being presumptuous towards him.
He waved his hand to summon four stern-faced nuns, and said to Jiusi: "You don't have to play tricks with me. You have indeed done something right this time, even my princesses."
, no one would dare to do that. If you are not punished, it will not be enough to convince the public.
Fortunately, you still have some sense of propriety. You just drugged the person who took action, and you didn't do everything. Otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to save you.
Considering that you have extenuating circumstances, I will not punish you too harshly, so I will kneel in the courtyard for two hours every day for a month.
During the period of punishment, the four of them will watch you. When you have knelt for a month and no longer need them to watch, I will call them back to the palace."
When Jiusi heard that he had to kneel for so long, he immediately became unhappy.
Kneel for two hours every day, that is four hours. Even a strong person cannot kneel. After a long time, her legs will become useless from kneeling. She is not stupid, how could she agree to it?
Fortunately, Daiyu was not among those punished. Perhaps because he was afraid that her body would not be able to hold on, the emperor just ignored her, which saved her a lot of trouble, otherwise it would be really difficult.
But she was punished alone, and she didn't want to suffer. It was not her fault in the first place, so why should she admit it, but she couldn't do it, and she had to find a way to do it.
She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. Since one person couldn't escape being punished, then all the officials should be punished.
She pushed Daiyu aside to avoid dragging her in, and then started her performance.
I took out the small handkerchief soaked in medicinal powder and put it at the corner of my eyes. Alas, the tears began to flow down as if they were free.
As soon as her tears fell, she began to cry: "Your Majesty, you punish me to kneel for two hours every day. I have no objection. After all, my father is far away in Yangzhou and cannot take care of my daughter.
Even if you are wronged, you can still endure it.
But this matter is not my fault alone. If I am the only one who is punished, then I will not accept it.
Since you said that those who made mistakes will be punished, then those who participated in this matter must also be punished, otherwise I will not be able to bear the grievances in my heart and visit their homes every day."
