She didn't expect that Mu Ci would come out so soon, and she didn't expect that as soon as Mu Ci came out of the cold palace, he would settle accounts with her.
She quickly knelt down on the ground: "My Majesty, listen to my explanation. I dealt with this matter immediately. I also found the concubine who wanted to harm your Majesty. I just waited for your Majesty to come out and handed it over to your Majesty..."
"Now it is the crime of pursuing Li Zhaoyi. Li Zhaoyi is in charge of the harem and it is not good, so the blame cannot be escaped." Mu Ci said, raising his voice: "Zheng De, pull Li Zhaoyi down and punish her with twenty sticks!"
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Yun Xi turned pale with fright and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"You should be glad that the Ai family only let you suffer some physical pain, instead of relegating you to the cold palace and letting you taste what it's like to live in the cold palace!" Mu Ci's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were fixed on the beautiful pear blossoms covered with rain.
Face.
Her words successfully made Yun Xi stop begging for mercy.
Just like that, Yun Xi was dragged down by Zheng De.
At Mu Ci's request, all the harem concubines who came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects went to watch the torture scene.
Everyone was horrified to see it, and they were glad that they were not the ones being tortured with the rod.
After the execution, Yun Xi was beaten until she fainted, and was then carried back to Cuiwei Palace.
Everyone who originally wanted to curry favor with Mu Ci was now in no mood, but Mu Ci still had something to say, so they had to sit quietly in the hall and listen to the lecture.
Finally, Mu Ci mentioned Chen Zhiqin's helping hand.
Chen Zhiqin had been confused for a long time. She never thought that the Queen Mother would mention her. She knelt down in a hurry, thinking that the Queen Mother wanted to settle a score with her.
"Chen Cairen values love and justice and deserves to be commended." Mu Ci said, and ordered Sizhu to reward Chen Zhiqin with the jewelry he had prepared.
Chen Zhiqin was flattered. After accepting the reward, she couldn't help but tell the truth: "As for the Queen Mother, Sister An is also very worried about the Queen Mother. It is Sister An who ordered the concubines to honor the Queen Mother."
After hearing this, Mu Ci looked at An Rong, who was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner, with a slight smile on her face: "An Mei is a filial person, thank you!"
An Rong originally wanted to sit in a corner, but now that Mu Ci was paying attention to her, she could only step forward to thank her, "I would like to thank you for your reward."
"Come closer, let the Ai family take a look." Mu Ci looked cheerful.
An Rong followed the words and looked at Mu Ci.
Looking at each other for a moment, Mu Ci smiled slightly: "Anmei's appearance and Aijia's intentions. If you have time in the future, Anmei will come to Weiyang Palace to walk around more and stay with this lonely widow of Aijia."
An Rong lowered her head and replied: "Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"
"An Mei and Chen Cairen will stay and have lunch with Ai's family, while the others will leave." Mu Ci ordered again.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Although they were a little jealous that An Rong and Chen Zhiqin were favored by the Queen Mother, they did not dare to object and exited the Weiyang Palace one by one.
As soon as the rest of the crowd left, Mu Ci pulled An Rong to take a closer look, "An Mei looks honest and honest, and has good looks and conduct. The Ai family likes her."
An Rong responded with a sweet smile: "Thank you for your praise, the Queen Mother. In my heart, the Queen Mother is the most glorious person."
"The Aijia and you are very fond of each other. The first time I saw Anmei, the Aijia felt friendly." Mu Ci and An Rong pulled home.
This statement is not false.
An Rong looks harmless, and it's easy to let down your guard when you're with her.
The harem is deep, and everyone is busy competing for favors and playing tricks. Suddenly, when you meet someone who can make you feel at ease, it will naturally be easy to get along with him.
