Chapter 122: Reprimand in the court

Si Tingyan said that half of it would be left behind, just to make the Queen Mother curious and go deeper into this matter, so that Lu Yunxi could see the Queen Mother in person.

The Queen Mother raised her chin, snorted, and didn't ask, just stared at Lu Ziyou with cold eyes.

Lu Ziyou's heart was tight, and he knelt on the ground busily, only trying to do this and that, and under the nervousness, he couldn't say a single extra word.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was annoyed, turned her head sideways, and glanced at the emperor, "Your Majesty, let's ask Miss Lu to ask." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

No one in the main hall thought that Lu Yunxi, the eldest lady of the Shilang Mansion, would be supported by someone to meet her.

Her body was still weak, her face and wrists were still covered with gauze, bloodless, and there was a strong smell of medicine wafting from her body.

Lu Yunxi slowly knelt on the ground, folded her hands in front of her forehead, saluted the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and said in a hoarse voice, "Say hello to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but look over, glanced at Lu Ziyou, and then slowly got up and walked to Lu Yunxi's side.

She stretched out her wrinkled hands, gently lifted Lu Yunxi's shoulders, and glanced up and down.

Although Lu Yunxi had simply groomed herself, she still couldn't cover the paleness and sickness on her face.

She lowered her head and tried her best to deviate her face, not wanting the Queen Mother to see the white gauze on her face.

The Queen Mother's warm fingertips gently rested on Lu Yunxi's cheeks, and said softly, "How did you get this face?"

Lu Yunxi lowered her head and did not answer, but a tear had already dripped down her cheek on the back of the Queen Mother's hand.

When the Queen Mother saw her pitiful appearance, her heart hurt even more.

She turned her head away, glanced at the emperor on the main seat, frowned again, looked at Lu Ziyou, who was trembling on one side, and snorted coldly, "Lu Shilang, Lu Yunxi is the concubine in your house." Now it's like this, what's going on?"

Lu Ziyou was shocked, and was about to speak, but was robbed by Lu Yunxi.

"Please don't blame the queen mother, just blame the folk girl for her own strengths, not liked by her stepmother and sister, her biological mother died in a hurry, and no one took care of the folk daughter, this is ......" said, tears like a broken thread kept staying.

Although there are only a few words, it seems to be defended and self-deprecating, but everyone present understands that this is the stepmother's partiality, the stepsister's arrogance, and the fact that she is not treated by her own father, and has suffered great grievances.

Lu Ziyou knelt on the ground, turned around with only two knees, folded his hands in front of his forehead, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said loudly, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins." This...... This is just a fight between sisters in the backyard, and it was unintentionally injured, and it was not a big deal, so I didn't dare to alarm the Queen Mother and Your Majesty......"

Before Lu Ziyou's words were finished, the Queen Mother suddenly turned her head, glanced at Lu Ziyou up and down with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Fighting? Can you be locked up in the firewood room and detained? !

"What the queen mother said is that it is all up to the queen mother. "The courtier's family affairs, for the monarch, should not be superfluously involved, so they should respond lightly.

Hearing this, Lu Ziyou was even more shocked.

He was busy saluting the Queen Mother, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he said loudly, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins...... The Queen Mother forgives her sins......"

The Queen Mother ignored Lu Ziyou, only ordered someone to give Lu Yunxi a seat, held her hot hand, walked to the main seat, and asked her to sit beside her, only then did she stare at Lu Ziyou kneeling in the hall with cold eyes.

"Someone, bring the second lady from the Shilang Mansion up. ”

This time, the Queen Mother did not consult Lu Ziyou's opinion, so she said loudly to the outside world.

Lu Ziyou's face was like a sifting of chaff, trembling, his hands were on his knees, his head was lowered, his throat was moving up and down, and his heart was nervous.

After a while, I saw the eunuch lead Lu Caimeng and Song Lan to walk in from outside.

The two saw that Lu Yunxi was sitting next to the Queen Mother, but Lu Ziyou was kneeling in the hall, and their hearts were also tight.

The two looked at each other, both seeing a hint of surprise and trepidation in each other's eyes.

"Give ...... to the Queen Mother"

Before Song Lan and Lu Caimeng's words came out, they saw the Queen Mother pointing at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Kneel!"

Hearing this, Song Lan and Lu Caimeng's feet were soft, and they almost subconsciously and "pounced" in unison

He fell to his knees with a thud.

"Song Lan, the mourning family remembers that you often came to the palace to serve when you were not out of the pavilion, and you are a reasonable woman. But how did this woman who has been married to Lu Shilang for so many years and has children become an adult, but how did she become such a vicious femme fatale?"

Hearing this, Song Lan raised her head, her eyes trembled slightly, and she licked the corners of her chapped lips, and then she was bold and said in a low voice, "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" ”

"The mourning family asked you, what's the matter with the injury on Lu Yunxi's body?"

The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice with cold eyes.

Song Lan immediately lowered her head, the handkerchief in front of her was tightly stirred, and she didn't dare to raise her head, let alone answer.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, don't look over, and stared at Lu Caimeng, "You come on." ”

Lu Caimeng was shocked.

She glanced at the Queen Mother, and said tremblingly, "Returning to the Queen Mother, it has nothing to do with the people's daughter, it was her own accidentally scratched ......"

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, the corners of her mouth drooped, and the hands in front of her were already tightly clasped together: "What a girl, your father said that it was caused by your sisters' troubles, but you shirked that it had nothing to do with you, and you didn't dare to admit it, what kind of upbringing is this?!"

Saying that, the Queen Mother's hand touched the back of Lu Yunxi's hand again, it was so hot, this kid dragged a high fever to attend his birthday banquet, his sincerity can be seen! But His Royal Highness Lu Caimeng is still quibbling, which really makes people angry!

Lu Caimeng didn't dare to say more, so he had to bow his head and salute, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the people are nervous and talking nonsense for a while, which is indeed caused by the carelessness of the momentary play between our sisters!"

The queen mother didn't answer, just didn't look over, glanced at the emperor, leaned back slightly, "Emperor, this family of the Ministry of Rites is really interesting, the housewife doesn't know what happened in the backyard, the lord knows but lets it go, as a little girl, dare to do so evil to the concubine, how can such a family be worthy of being a nobleman in the capital?"

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, it was Lu Caimeng and Song Lan, but Lu Ziyou and Song Hu also raised their heads suddenly and looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.

Song Hu refused to speak yet, for fear that this matter would implicate him.

However, at this moment, seeing that the Queen Mother was also angry with Song Lan, he just wanted to hide, but he was afraid that he couldn't hide.

In desperation, Song Hu had to take a few steps forward, knelt in the hall, and saluted the Queen Mother.
