Regardless of whether what Empress Dowager Jiang said was true or false, she still left such words behind.
Xiao Ci said: "Then there will be Queen Mother Lao."
Xiao Jingtong was frightened and fell ill, and Xiao Ci was furious. Empress Dowager Jiang was unhappy, but she still wanted to say a few good words to appease her, and rewarded him with a bunch of good things. Only then did the palace officials give the great god Xiao Ci to
Please go out.
Before Xiao Ci left, he glanced at Zhenzhu who was stunned by fright, snorted coldly, and strode away without looking back.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Jiang could no longer hold back her expression, and with a wave of her hand, she swept all the tea bowls, snacks and dishes on her hands to the ground.
He said angrily: "Come here, drag this slave girl down to the Ai family and give her two hundred sticks."
Pearl, who was so frightened that she fainted, heard the roar, took a deep breath, raised her head, glanced at Queen Mother Jiang, and fell unconscious immediately.
At this moment, he was really scared and fainted.
After Pearl was dragged down, the palace maid helped Empress Dowager Jiang to go to the side hall. Immediately, another palace official came into the palace to tidy up the inside and outside of the palace.
Queen Mother Jiang was so angry that she didn't recover for most of the day.
The palace maid took the soothing tea from the palace servant and handed it over, then said comfortingly: "Queen Mother, please don't be angry, be careful of being angry and damaging your health."
He added: "You are just an ignorant palace servant. If you deal with it, just give an explanation to Prince Rui."
"Prince Rui has always looked at romantic affairs, but he really has nothing to say to a pair of children. This time the little princess was so frightened that she fell ill. It is inevitable that he will be unhappy."
Empress Dowager Jiang did not take the tea cup from Grandma Gong's hand. She took a deep breath and sneered: "He is not happy. I'm afraid that if Aijia sits in this position, he will not be happy for a day."
He added: "This pearl agate is also a waste. Fortunately, the Ai family took a fancy to the two of them at first, but they didn't expect that they were just mud that couldn't hold up the wall, just like the Liu family and their son."
"When I got some benefit, I started to tremble. No one even knew my last name."
How could she not be angry? Back then, when Emperor Chengxing ascended the throne, the former emperor's sons were dead and useless. If it weren't for the fear of false accusations, she had no choice but to leave the two young ones, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu.
These two brothers have been suppressed by her for so many years, but she still doesn't feel at ease.
King Wu was timid and fearful and could not achieve any great things, but Xiao Ci was slippery.
With great difficulty, Pearl and Agate were placed next to Xiao Jingtong, but unexpectedly they were still useless.
When she thought of this matter, Queen Mother Jiang became even more angry and spat: "You bastard."
Empress Dowager Jiang was dissatisfied, and Pearl had already begun to torture her.
The punishment of the cane in the palace is different from that of the outside. Even a strong person can only be hit by a hundred blows at most.
Those who are weak will be even more incapable, but they will definitely not be able to bear it after just a few dozen blows.
Regardless of whether she was in the palace or Prince Rui's palace, Pearl rarely suffered hardships and was raised delicately. She died after less than thirty blows. After two hundred blows with a stick, her back and crotch were already rotten.
.
Those who made mistakes in the palace and were punished did not have a good end even if they died. The eunuchs carried them and threw them on the mass graves. No one knew whether they just rotted like this or were eaten by the animals.
.
Ever since Pearl was brought into the palace, Agate had not had a moment of peace. At night, several maids in the front room fell asleep, and she was still hiding in bed shivering.
Tears couldn't stop flowing, but I knew very clearly in my heart that once the pearl was gone, there would be no return.
...
When Xiao Ci came out of the palace, it was already getting late.
We went all the way back to Prince Rui's Mansion, and after entering the Lanzhou Residence, we realized that Song Qinghuan was still at the other end of Hanlian Courtyard and had not returned.
Chunlan and Qiulan were sent to Hanlian Courtyard to take the place of the maid, and Texue was still waiting on Song Qinghuan, so Xunmei came back to guard the courtyard.
Seeing Xiao Ci return, she said: "The princess said that the little princess was frightened and was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well at night, so she would rest in Hanlianyuan tonight. If the prince came back, she would let the prince sleep peacefully by himself."
"
It had only been a few days since Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan got married. He was used to waking up in Wenwen Village every day. Today, he was left to sleep alone. He couldn't sleep anywhere.
This time, before I even fell asleep, I was already in a bad mood. I wasn't even hot yet, so I simply got up and went to Hanlianyuan.
Hanliyuan is brightly lit, whether outside the courtyard gate, under the corridor or inside the house, the lamps are all lit, as bright as day.
Chunlan and Qiulan were arranging for the maid and mother-in-law to be on duty for the night. When they saw Xiao Ci striding towards them, they did not dare to speak loudly. They only walked forward quickly and bowed their knees to salute.
Xiao Ci didn't speak loudly, so he deserved a reply and asked: "Where is the princess?"
Chunlan said: "Go back to the prince, the princess is in the house with the little princess."
Before she could say anything, Xiao Ci was impatient to listen and walked towards the house.
The outside room was empty, so I raised the curtain and entered the inner room, where I saw Texue carefully going to the incense burner and lighting the soothing incense again.
Song Qinghuan was sitting on the couch, with a big pillow on his back and Xiao Jingtong in his arms.
A thin quilt covered Xiao Jingtong tightly, and she carefully protected her in her arms.
She looked very gentle, and her whole body was full of motherly love.
Xiao Ci looked at it for a moment, and all the anger around him dissipated.
He tiptoed forward and didn't stop until he was in front of Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan had been running around all day, and he was very tired. The soothing incense in the room made him drowsy.
It wasn't until the light in the room was blocked by Xiao Ci's figure that she raised her head to look at him.
His eyes were dimly flashing with sleepiness, and it took him a while to realize that it was Xiao Ci, and then he yawned again.
He whispered: "Your Majesty."
Texue had already retreated and Xiao Ci took the opportunity to sit next to Song Qinghuan. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smile.
He stretched out his hand to tuck the messy hair on her temples back and said, "When you're sleepy, just sleep. Why are you sitting there?"
Song Qinghuan yawned until she burst into tears. She smiled bitterly and said, "Your daughter is very valuable. She can't sleep well even if she's frightened. She has to be held like this to feel better."
Xiao Jingtong had fallen asleep like this since Xiao Ci left the house, and would be frightened to tears from time to time, or would have nightmares and scream.
When Xiao Ci saw her like this, he remembered that when his first wife left, Xiao Jingtong had to be held in his arms and coaxed all day long.
For a moment, I felt a lot of emotions in my heart. I caressed Song Qinghuan's cheek, leaned in for a kiss and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Dundedun said something very disgusting: "If you marry a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
