Since Wang Yan was called into Kunning Palace, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has been handing excerpts to the palace, and when Wang Yan was beaten and thrown into the imperial garden, Wang Da was summoned into the palace by Bu Qin.

After crying and pleading, he said his purpose:

"Your Majesty, the little girl admires the Holy Grace wholeheartedly, everything she does is to make the emperor more interested in her, and she has no intention of clinging, please ...... the emperor"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bu Tan: "Okay, don't say it, the affairs of the inner palace have always been the responsibility of the queen, who the queen wants to punish, she has the queen's reason, I won't say much, you go down." ”

Wang Si suddenly rushed to Bu Qin's feet: "Your Majesty, the little girl is only twenty-eight years old now, and she is still ignorant of the world, before the minister entered the palace, she heard that the queen had tortured her, for fear that her delicate body and bones would not be able to withstand the heavy punishment, and asked the emperor to be gracious." ”

Bu Qin glanced down at him, sighed, and said:

"I left her out of the palace with one life, you go down."

“……”

Wang Si was so shocked by Bu Qin's words that he forgot to cry, leaving her life out of the palace means that the punishment is fixed, as for how many punishments she will suffer, it will all be in the hands of the queen, and what he will do is just to let the queen not execute people to death.

Seeing the emperor's firm eyes, Wang Sizhi said that it would be useless for him to say anything now. After kowtowing in front of Bu Qin's feet, he retreated and waited outside the Zhengyang Gate.

Wang Yan was beaten with twenty boards, tied to the center of the imperial garden, and after being watched by the palace people back and forth for a day, when night fell, Bu Qin sent two imperial guards to carry her away, and sent her to the Zhengyang Gate, calling Wang Si's hands.

***

At night, Bu Qin returned to Xi Yunzhi and saw that she looked as usual and did not react otherwise.

After eating, the two returned to the dormitory, Bu Qin insisted on holding her and half-lying on the ebony soft couch, not letting her move, Xi Yunzhi couldn't struggle, took a deep breath and said to Bu Qin:

"I know that I have gone too far, but if the word 'example' is not strong enough, then the effect will be gone. I'll try not to use these tactics next time. ”

Bu Qin kissed her on the ear and said:

"Whoever you like to rectify, I will never say a word, I just don't want you to be too tired and too worried."

“……”

Bu Qin's words didn't make Xi Yunzhi feel better, and he didn't seem to have any sense of security in his arms, hugging him quietly, not knowing what to say, the two fell asleep in silence.

***

The household department was busy, and the household department Shangshu asked to see Xi Yunzhi many times, but she was rejected on the grounds that she was not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem.

On this day, Xi Yunzhi took Ruyi and Ruyue to prepare to leave the palace, but before leaving the palace, Bu Qin arranged for a few inner guards to follow, Xi Yunzhi had to let them change into ordinary clothes and follow her out of the palace.

I went to the north and south shops on Suzaku Street and took a look, only to see that the doors of the shops were closed, not only the north and south shops, but also the closed shops on Suzaku Street, most of which were her property.

The order knocked on the door of the shop, but no one answered, and the shopkeeper who wanted to come to the store also returned to his hometown due to the turmoil of the current situation, Xi Yunzhi pointed to the alley next to the store and said:

"Go to the back door, I hid a key under the stone pier."

The group was about to walk in, but they saw a dirty, sore-covered figure suddenly rush out of the inside.

Xiao Hei and the others immediately guarded Xi Yunzhi behind him, and the figure was kicked far away by one of the Ouchi guards, and said angrily:

"What people!"

The man wailed and revealed his inner appearance, Xi Yunzhi only felt that the person was very familiar, and asked Xiao Hei to get out of the way of the front of her, she walked over slowly, and finally saw the person's appearance clearly.

"Second uncle?"

It turned out to be Xi Yunzhi's second uncle Xi Yuan, a rich and noble man in the past, but now he has become this beggar covered with abscesses.

When the man heard Xi Yunzhi's scream, he also came back to his senses, looked up at her, and quickly lowered down, Xi Yunzhi saw him like this, and knew that he was embarrassed, so he couldn't help but let people help him up, and found a tea shop to sit down.

After ordering two pots of tea and snacks, Xi Yuan began to devour them, Xi Yunzhi saw him like this, even if he had more hatred in the past, he couldn't raise it.

When he had almost eaten, she asked:

"How did you get to where you are now? What about the second aunt and the old lady? ”

Xi Yuan glanced at Xi Yunzhi again, turned around slightly with a teacup in both hands, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"After you left the capital, the previous emperor ordered to raid the house of the Zuo Governor Yushi, and we were also affected by the pond fish, the old lady died of illness before, and asked for food for two years, and her body and bones had already been lost, and she died of a cold. Your second aunt also remarried, and now I am alone, and life is better than death. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi had heard about the fate of the Xi family, but she didn't expect that it would bring her such a big impact through the mouth of the second uncle.

In the past, the Xi family was rich and powerful, who would have thought that they would end up like this. The old lady has done a lot of hurtful things all her life, and in the end she has received retribution after all, and she has been asking for food for two years for her such an arrogant and arrogant posture, and this kind of punishment is enough for her.

"Why don't you go back to Luoyang?"

After all, there is still Xi Yunchun in Luoyang, she was married to the general judge before, even if she is taken away from her favor, she can always have the ability to take in her parents.

I only heard Xi Yuan sigh again: "Luoyang...... What are you going back to Luoyang for? The ancestral house and shop of the Xi family in Luoyang have been taken over by you, Yunchun was also disturbed by the old lady, and she became a concubine with a good wife, and every once in a while, she became a girl, and she was angry. We can't get along in Luoyang, so we will move our family to the capital. ”

Xi Yunzhi remembered that when she left Luoyang, the old lady really wanted to send the daughter of the Xi family to the General Judgment Mansion, but she didn't expect that instead of helping Xi Yunchun, Xi Yunchun lost the position of the wife, which was really providential.

Looking at Xi Yuan's dirty body, thin and skinny, thinking that no matter what he said, he was her father's own brother, since she saw it, Yu Qing and Yuli couldn't let it go, so she immediately went to find a small mansion and placed him in, and when she returned to the palace, she asked her father to decide what to do, anyway, the second uncle is only a lonely person now, and there will be no more moths.

***

Because of Xi Yunzhi's iron-fisted methods, the atmosphere in the palace was indeed much better for a while. Now the palace people are talking privately not about Xi Yunzhi's weakness and bullying, but everyone is saying that she is ruthless, after all, most people saw the fate of the palace queen Yan yesterday.

That bloody gesture shows the queen's methods, so that people dare not underestimate it.

In March of that year, Xi Yunzhi was diagnosed with a happy pulse by the imperial doctor, and this news undoubtedly boiled the court and harem.

Queen Xi monopolizes the harem, and already has a son and a daughter, if the womb is the prince, then Xi's position in the palace can be said to be unshakable in the future.

But at this time when the whole country was jubilant, the Ryukyu country sent an envoy to offer a princess marriage to consolidate diplomatic relations, if this kind of move involving a political marriage is refused, it is obviously the initiator of the war, at the beginning of the founding of the Ning country, there is really no need to leave a bad reputation for this kind of thing, not to mention, the country's civil strife has just ended, it is the time to recuperate, after such an exhortation, Bu Qin also had to give in and compromise, but not immediately make this Ryukyu princess a concubine, but allowed her to live in the harem.

When Xi Yunzhi heard the news from the mouth of the inner prison, he was only briefly stunned, and then regained his calm, Ruyi Ruyue was learning to cut paper, after hearing the news, he couldn't wait to rush to the palace of the Ryukyu princess with scissors to drive her away, but seeing Xi Yunzhi's attitude so calm, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"Madam, why don't you react, the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom has already entered the palace."

Xi Yunzhi looked at her who was blushing, and couldn't help laughing: "I know what to do." ”

Ruyue couldn't help but speak: "Madam, what are you going to do?" Do you want Zhao Yi to beat that Ryukyu princess again? ”

Ruyi and Ruyue were originally sisters, of course they could think of this kind of thing together, but they also nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, Mrs. and Master are not good to come forward, then let us come forward, we will make sure that the broken princess will be beaten all over the ground to find teeth."

Xi Yunzhi was laughed at by what they said:

"Do you think this princess is the palace maid in our palace, can you teach it casually? Didn't you see the guards around her when she entered the palace? ”

Ruyi disagreed: "What are the guards afraid of, will there be fewer guards in our palace than her?" If it really starts, she must be at a loss. ”

Xiao Hei stood guard outside the door, and after hearing Ruyi's wonderful remarks, he couldn't help but interject a sentence outside the door:

"Do you think this is a street ruffian fight, and whoever has more people is justified? Go back in the evening and let Zhao Yi teach you well. ”

Xiao Hei is also an old man who follows Xi Yunzhi, and she knows that Xi Yunzhi is easy-going, and she really doesn't mind her subordinates gagging under her nose, so she dares to ridicule Ruyi and Ruyue like this, if someone else is there, Xiao Hei will not dare to speak.

Ruyi Ruyue's face turned red, and he was about to go out to reason with Xiao Hei, when a eunuch walked in, knelt down respectfully in front of Xi Yunzhi, and said:

"Niangniang, Miko, the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom, asks to see me."
