Qianlong glanced at Concubine Ling a few times, his eyes were full of inquiry, "What mistakes did they make, don't you know?" ”

Concubine Ling looked at Qianlong with a little grievance, and replied softly: "The concubine doesn't know, since the emperor annoyed the concubine, the concubine has repented of her mistakes in the Yanxi Palace, carefully raised the fetus, and didn't know anything about what happened in the palace. The concubine knew that she had not done well enough in the past, the status of the concubine was low, and it was the greatest honor of the concubine to be favored by the emperor in this life. It's the concubine's negligence, but the emperor, the concubines have always put the emperor first, and they will never deliberately do anything that makes the emperor unhappy. ”

Su Xueyun smiled, looking at Concubine Ling's performance, she felt that if this person was at the level of a queen in modern times, it was no wonder that she had been mixing well, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiaoyanzi and them were dragged down this time, I am afraid she would not have caught Concubine Ling's shortcomings so easily.

Qianlong felt uncomfortable when he saw Su Xueyun's smile, he used to advocate harmony between his wife and concubine, but now somehow, listening to his concubine tell him about his love for him in front of Su Xueyun, he felt like he had betrayed someone, it was incredible. He coughed lightly twice and said: "If you can really regret your mistakes, it's a good thing, no matter what your identity was in the past, since you have become a concubine in the palace, you should keep the rules of the palace, otherwise if everyone casually sees people outside, wouldn't this palace be chaotic?" ”

Ling Concubine obediently bowed her head and blessed her body, "Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will not be so confused in the future." ”

Qianlong looked at her posture of holding her stomach and saluting hard, and said, "You have a heavy body, give me a seat." ”

As soon as Concubine Ling heard this, she immediately raised her head in surprise, and even tears appeared in Qianlong's eyes, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Qianlong lightly looked away, pointed to the kneeling people, and said: "The fifth elder brother and Forkang were bold enough to rescue Xiaoyanzi from prison, and also knocked Ziwei unconscious and coerced her to escape from prison together. What do you think I should do with them? ”

Concubine Ling covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise, and said bitterly: "Fifth elder brother, Er Kang! You guys...... Why are you so confused! ”

The fifth elder brother lowered his head, "Concubine Ling, I just don't want to watch Xiaoyanzi die, you know her, she doesn't understand anything, she is the most innocent person, although there is a mistake, but where is it serious enough to kill him?" ”

"Criminals deceive the king, and they should be punished. Do you think this statement is a joke? Qianlong snorted in displeasure.

The fifth elder brother said anxiously: "But Xiaoyanzi really treats you as a father, she doesn't have any other purpose, does she?" ”

"So, as long as there is no other purpose, anyone can approach me at will? What if she was an Assassin? I'm afraid my head is going to fall off! If I don't deal with her today, will all those who deceive the king be forgiven in the future? Isn't that all the people of the world going to deceive me? ”

"Huang Ama! Little Swallow, she's not an assassin! ”

Concubine Ling got up and said: "Your Majesty, they are all children, they may have done something wrong, just teach them more, don't be angry with them, so as not to get angry." In fact, they are very sensible and care about you on weekdays, they just use the wrong method, they are not children with bad intentions, the concubines think that even if they are wrong, they can tolerate it once, if they make mistakes again in the future, it is not too late to condemn them. ”

Qianlong looked at Su Xueyun and asked, "What does the queen think?" ”

Su Xueyun smiled faintly and said: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and if you do well, you should be praised, and if you do wrong, you should be punished." The emperor is a role model in the world, and if he can't stick to this, I'm afraid it will affect the emperor's prestige. However, the concubine believes that the royal reputation should be the priority, after all, this matter cannot be put on the table, so there is no need to mention it to the outside world. In this case, what the emperor wants to do with it depends on the emperor's wishes, and the concubines have no objections. ”

Qianlong looked at the fifth elder brother and a few of them, pondered for a moment, and said: "Yongqi has a bad character, he is grounded for three months to reflect on his mistakes, take back the right to enter and leave the palace freely, and after three months, concentrate on reading and learn the truth in the book." Ziwei has been confirmed to be my daughter, soft-hearted and deceived, has been guilty and painful, although there are mistakes but extenuating circumstances, in the future, it will be Shufangzhai's Zhu Gege, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, learn more rules from the Gege people in the palace, don't do anything out of character. ”

The fifth elder brother and Ziwei both kowtowed to thank them, although they were sad to hear such a punishment, they were still relieved. But then they were worried about Little Swallow and Forkanglai, and their expressions were still nervous.

Qianlong said slowly: "As for Xiaoyanzi, he deceived the king, stolen, maliciously made trouble in the palace, escaped from prison, and had no intention of repentance, and the crime was increased by one degree, which cannot be forgiven, and he will be given death." As a royal guard, Forkang's relatives of the concubine did not abide by the palace rules, intended to deceive me, and robbed the prison, which can be said to be knowingly and unforgivable, and he was also given death. The other two are considered accomplices, and they are assigned to the frontier and cannot be returned. ”

Several people looked at Qianlong in disbelief, they couldn't accept that he decided the life and death of people so casually, Liu Qing and Liu Hong were even more full of regret, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

The fifth elder brother took a few steps forward and said sadly, "Huang Ama! You can't be so ruthless! Have you forgotten the joy that the little swallow brings you? ”

Ziwei also hurriedly pleaded, "Your Majesty, Er Kang is only an accomplice, please spare him!" ”

Xiaoyanzi stepped forward and kept shaking her head, her eyes widened, and she looked very unconvinced.

Qianlong sneered, "Wu Shulai, take her strip of cloth away, let me see what she has to say." ”

"Wow!"

Wu Shulai took out the strip of cloth from Xiaoyanzi, and Xiaoyanzi immediately shouted loudly: "You can't kill me!" You have no reason to kill me! When you took me to the memorial service, you said that you would recognize me as a righteous daughter, when did you say that I was your daughter? If you say that I deceived you, then you have deceived the world! ”

Su Xueyun smiled lightly, "Yo, isn't this very neat to speak, why don't you usually understand people?" ”

Little Swallow glared at her fiercely, "What's the matter with you?" I know, you also recognized a righteous daughter, you must think that your daughter is not as favored by the emperor as me, so you deliberately hurt me, so that you can make your daughter the most favored character, right? ”

Su Xueyun said with a smile: "Your first sentence is right, what is the matter with this palace?" You pretended to admit Gege yourself, could it be that this palace recognized it for you? It's just the rules of the harem that have something to do with the palace.,You want to be a pearl.,It's not about the palace outside the palace.,But it's absolutely not okay in the palace.,Don't turn your head off.,You don't have to think about this Gege's position.,Anyway, you've been yelling not to be Gege.,You shouldn't be greedy for it, right? ”

"What kind of fish eye pearls, don't you tell me something that goes around and around, I don't want to tell you!" Xiaoyanzi looked at Qianlong and asked, "I said earlier that I don't want to be Gege, but you said that I was not allowed to mention this sentence again, if I am at fault, you are also at fault, didn't you say that the emperor made the same mistake as the commoners?" Why don't you be punished? Don't you have to follow the rules? Then what kind of emperor are you? I'm not convinced! ”

"Little Swallow!" The fifth elder brother exclaimed, hurriedly covered her mouth, and pleaded, "Huang Ama, Xiaoyanzi has always been so open-mouthed, don't blame her." ”

Qianlong watched the intimate movements of the fifth elder brother and Xiaoyanzi, and his eyes narrowed, "I must kill her, and I will add one more crime, the emperor is disrespectful." I don't think she'll ever understand what imperial power is. ”

The fifth elder brother was in a hurry, seeing that Wu Shu came and went with a tray and came in, with poisonous wine on it, he couldn't care about anything anymore, kowtowed hard, and shouted: "Ask the emperor Ama to take back his life, the son can't live without Xiaoyanzi!" ”

Qianlong straightened up, suppressed his anger and said, "You make it clear to me, what do you mean that you can't live without Xiaoyanzi?" You were brother and sister a few days ago, how come I've never seen you care so much about your other sisters? ”

The fifth elder brother hit the ground next to the ground, and said regardless of it: "Huang Ama, Erchen likes Xiaoyanzi's innocence, likes her to write everything on her face, don't guess, like her all kinds of clever and eccentric ideas, like her carefree smile, Huang Ama, Erchen please, Erchen really can't live without her!" If you must cut off her head, your son's heart will die with her, and you will lose your pistachio and your son for the sake of a momentary anger? ”

Qianlong smashed a cup on his head and sneered, "Are you threatening me?" Do you think that as long as you say that, I won't dare to kill her? I really don't lack your son! ”

The two little eunuchs tightly restrained Xiaoyanzi, and Wu Shulai was about to pour it on her with poisonous wine. Little Swallow yelled anxiously, "Why did you kill me? Let me go! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know you had a daughter! Are you sorry for Ziwei's mother, sorry for Ziwei, and now you are sorry for your son? You are so pitiful, you are sorry for them, they will be sorry for you sooner or later, and you will never get family affection! ”

"Presumptuous!" Wu Shulai snorted lightly and slapped Xiaoyanzi in the face, "In front of the emperor, how can you be so presumptuous!" ”

The fifth elder brother got up in an instant, kicked over Wu Shulai, kicked away the two eunuchs holding Xiaoyanzi, blocked in front of Xiaoyanzi, and shouted: "Huang Ama! If you want to kill, kill together! I'll die with her! ”

Concubine Ling wiped the corners of her eyes and choked up: "Your Majesty, for so many years, it is the first time that the concubine has seen the fifth elder brother so stubbornly want to do one thing, Xiaoyanzi is just an insignificant small role, but the fifth elder brother is not, he has always been your favorite son, and now he just wants a female prisoner, why not?" Why bother to make a discord between your father and son for such a small role? You really don't like Xiaoyanzi, just tell her not to leave Jingyang Palace in the future, right? ”

"You should ask Yongqi, why did you rebel against me for such a small role, it seems that my previous favors were all wrong!" Qianlong had a gloomy face, he went to Kunning Palace every day during this period of time, it was not that he had not changed, at least he heard these crooked theories now that he was very little affected, and everyone made mistakes and finally blamed him for not being tolerant enough?

Qianlong looked at Ziwei again, and said very unhappily: "You also want to die with Faulkang?" Yongqi likes Little Swallow, do you like Forkang? You are a girl's family, you don't listen to your parents' orders and matchmakers' words, so you make a private decision for life? That's how your mother taught you? ”

Ziwei's face changed, and she shook her head again and again, "No! My mother didn't teach me like this, my mother taught me to clean myself and be an innocent girl, so when Fujin asked me to be Er Kang's concubine, I refused, I won't embarrass my father. But the emperor, when I was the most desperate and painful, it was Er Kang who saved me, the grace of saving my life is greater than heaven, he helped me find a way to enter the palace to see you, it is also a great kindness, how can I be ungrateful......"

Ziwei couldn't cry, and Faulkang was moved and righteous beside her. Concubine Ling also showed a moved expression and persuaded: "Your Majesty, they have really experienced a lot of pain, so don't let them suffer anymore, right?" The emperor has always had a benevolent heart, be kind to them, and the concubines believe that they will be grateful and will never do anything that makes the emperor sad again. ”

Qianlong laughed angrily, "Oh? Can you vouch for them? If they make another mistake, are you guilty of the same sin as them? If then they commit the sin of losing their heads, will you die with them? Or in your eyes, it is not wrong for them to deceive me and rob the prison, but is their suffering caused by me? Concubine Ling, Lafayette lifted your grounding in order to let you walk around the imperial garden in the market, which is conducive to raising the fetus, not for you to point fingers at me! ”

Concubine Ling hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The concubine doesn't dare, the emperor, you misunderstood the concubine, the concubine just doesn't want the emperor to be sad when he thinks of them in the future." ”

Qianlong snorted coldly, didn't scream, and commanded into the air: "Ying Yi, go and see if the palace people around Concubine Ling have confessed, no matter what method is used, I want them to tell the truth!" Today, I want to see if this interpretation flower is real or fake! ”
