Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth seeking imperial decree
Bai Ling didn't know what happened in the palace.
In order for Baicao to have a good sleep, soothing incense was lit in the house.
But not long after Bai Ling fell asleep, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
"How could it be so seriously injured?" Bai Ling exclaimed as he looked at Haitang covered in blood.
"My subordinates were ordered to follow Bai Zhong, but they were led away by the men in black who broke into the Bai Mansion and fell into their trap. If not for the medicine given by the master to defend themselves, I might not be able to escape intact." Haitang said and vomited again.
A mouthful of blood.
"Go to the next room. I'll treat your injuries first." Afraid of disturbing Bai Cao, Bai Ling closed the door with her backhand and helped Haitang go to the next room.
What Haitang said about escaping with his whole body was just that he came back alive without losing his limbs.
When Bai Ling examined Haitang, he found that not only did she have serious internal injuries, but she also had multiple serious injuries that were deep enough to show the bones.
And in several places, it almost hurt vital parts.
After giving Haitang medicine to treat internal injuries, Bai Ling started to stop the bleeding and suture her wounds. He was busy until late at night before the wounds were properly treated.
While the wound was being sutured, Haitang talked about what happened today. Bai Ling just listened quietly, the anger in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
"For the next few days, you should put aside whatever you are doing and rest in this room. If you feel uncomfortable, call me." Bai Ling ordered, fearing that Haitang might suffer from internal bleeding or fever.
Haitang nodded. He had lost too much blood and was exhausted. He was already too sleepy to lift his eyes.
After helping Haitang go to bed to rest, Bai Ling thought about it and gave her a painkiller.
Although painkillers have side effects on the human body, in small amounts, they do not have much impact, and they allow the injured to reduce pain and have a good rest, which is also beneficial to recovery.
"I will avenge you." Before leaving, Bai Ling whispered.
Haitang had already fallen asleep, and she didn't know if she heard Bai Ling's words.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, the emperor looked at Princess Miya with a gloomy look, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked her on the shoulder, sending Princess Miya flying out.
In the Imperial Study Room, apart from the victim Princess Mianya, the only ones who accompanied Princess Mianya were the Princess of Han and the Queen.
Princess Minya was injured and couldn't get up from the pain for a long time, but no one interceded for her, let alone showed any concern.
If the queen hadn't found an excuse to go out for some fresh air today because she was unhappy, I'm afraid Princess Yayang would have become another princess of the Eastern Han Dynasty who lost her virginity.
In order not to embarrass herself in front of envoys from various countries, the queen asked Princess Han to take care of Princess Yayang, and temporarily took Princess Minya into custody.
It was not until the end of the banquet that the queen reported the matter to the emperor, hence the current scene.
"Father, calm down and take care of the dragon's body." Princess Yayang's cold eyes swept over Princess Minya who was huddled under the wall, she knelt down and saluted the emperor, and said in a formal manner.
Looking at Princess Miya who was repeatedly bullied, the emperor's eyes showed a little more pity.
They are all his own flesh and blood, and they are all his beloved daughters. The emperor does not want to see sibling cannibalism.
But this daughter without the protection of her mother and concubine suffered one series of injustices after another.
"Don't worry, my father will definitely give you justice and will not let you be bullied again." The emperor said lovingly.
Princess Yayang gently shook her head and said: "We are born from the same roots, and I don't want to continue the quarrel, so as not to cause hatred that cannot be resolved in this life. Moreover, the emperor's sister is about to get married, which will affect the marriage between the two countries.
I also became ignorant. It’s just that I have lingering fears and want to ask my father to give me a favor."
"Say." The emperor looked at Princess Yayang with relief, and he didn't want Princess Yayang to be relenting, but that didn't mean he wouldn't punish Princess Minya for her actions.
Princess Yayang knelt down and kowtowed before saying: "The accidents that happened again and again are just because someone wants me to marry and I have to get married. I will be burdened with stains in my life. So I want to ask my father for a decree. No matter what happens in the future,
My son’s marriage is my own decision.”
Princess Yayang's tone was very calm, but it attracted several looks with different expressions.
"Princess must not act nonsense!" the queen scolded: "Don't say she is a royal princess, she is an ordinary people's family. Marriage matters are also ordered by the parents and the matchmaker. How can you make the decision yourself?"
"Why not?"
Princess Yayang calmly asked back and asked doubtfully: "Princess Jixiang is from a peasant family, and she is able to choose a son-in-law for herself. I heard that the marriages of the children of the Bai family are all decided by themselves.
I know about the royal family’s marriage, and it’s a serious matter, but I don’t want to go through such a calculation again, and would rather marry a trafficker than a man who insults me. Isn’t this request too much?”
The emperor was silent. The queen wanted to say something, but she saw Princess Han kneeling beside Princess Yayang and saluted the emperor.
"It stands to reason that Princess Yayang's marriage is a royal family matter, and I should not speak nonsense. But over the years, I have always remembered what Concubine Ming said while holding my hand before she passed away."
Princess Han straightened her back and said sadly: "Concubine Ming said, 'Sister-in-law, please love the princess as your own daughter and protect her. If possible, I hope the princess can marry into an ordinary family and live a male farming life.
The life of women weaving.'"
After Princess Han finished speaking, the emperor's thoughts couldn't help but wander far away.
At that time, Concubine Ming was the most special being in the harem. Her bright smile, cheerful personality, and beautiful appearance all made the emperor's heart flutter.
Although he knew that he shouldn't exclusively favor Concubine Ming, the emperor couldn't help but go to her more often and be nice to her, until...
When the queen heard this, she looked slightly unnatural. Seeing the emperor's nostalgic look, she hurriedly said: "Concubine Ming is a strange woman. If Concubine Ming were alive, she must have loved Princess Yayang very much."
The Queen's voice was like cold water, sending chills down the Emperor's back.
Concubine Ming, the princess of the Han Dynasty, was destined to die young.
"Okay, my father has given you permission, and the imperial edict will be delivered to you tomorrow." Looking at Princess Yayang's face that looked like a concubine, the emperor suddenly said.
"Your Majesty!" the Queen exclaimed.
"As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, my beloved daughter has been wronged again and again. Such secretive things happened in the palace without her knowledge. As a queen, I have improperly raised princesses and princes. Do you still want to stop me from compensating my daughter?
"
The emperor shouted angrily, looking at the queen with cold eyes, "If the queen can't manage the harem anymore, I don't mind letting Concubine Xiao and the others co-manage the Sixth Palace with you!"
The queen tensed up and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake, "I am incompetent. I will put more effort into educating my children. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
This was not the first time that the emperor had given away the power of the harem. Although the queen did not suffer any loss in the end, it still hurt her face and threatened the prince's status.
Knowing clearly that the emperor was venting his anger on her, the queen could only swallow her breath in frustration, but in her heart she hated Concubine Chen and her daughter who were always causing trouble.
Princess Yayang got the promise she wanted, so she knelt down and followed Princess Han to leave the palace on the grounds of feeling unwell.
As for whether the emperor will punish Princess Miya, Princess Yayang really doesn't care.
"Auntie, it would be great if we never have to enter the palace again." Princess Yayang said tiredly on the way out of the palace.
Princess Yayang was naturally sad to be hurt by her blood relatives again and again, but she was even more scared.
"Silly girl, the worst possible outcome is that she will marry far away and won't come back to Beijing unless called upon." Princess Han said with pity.
"But if that happens, I will miss my aunt." Princess Yayang rested her head on Princess Han's shoulder and said a little coquettishly.
"Then return to Beijing quietly. I can't leave Beijing, but I can go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to stay for a while." Princess Han lowered her voice, half serious and half joking, which made Princess Yayang feel a lot more relaxed.
They get along as if they were biological mother and daughter. (To be continued)
