Qi Zheng knelt down in her skirt and hurriedly said, "The emperor forgives the sin." The unbearable pain spread from the knee to the whole body, the tea cup shattered to the ground, and Qi Zheng knelt down in a hurry, and kneeled in the water pool, on top of the broken pieces. Qizheng's eyes were closed, and tears oozed from the cracks.

Emperor Yuan frowned and looked at Qi Zheng: "What's your name?" ”

Qizheng supported the ground with both hands, endured the pain in his heart, and slowly spoke: "Concubine Fu Qizheng, the bachelor that the emperor just said is the father. ”

When Emperor Yuan heard this, he sneered: "Fu Renxian's daughter, it seems that your Fu family has some ability, and you have used this draft to install your own people next to my pillow, and you want me to be at peace all the time, okay, you say, how should I deal with the presumptuousness of Prime Minister Qin Zheng and Cabinet University Scholar Fu Renxian in the court." ”

Qi Zheng's ten fingers clenched the ground, his head was calm, he didn't open his mouth for a long time, and the tears fell one after another, mixed into the overturned tea pool, no one could see that the drop was a refreshing tea, which drop was a bitter tear.

"Why don't you answer me?" Emperor Yuan's tone became heavier.

Qizheng was in unbearable pain, and her hands trembled slightly: "Back to the emperor, there is an ancient precept, ** must not interfere in politics, if it is decided by the concubine, it is disloyal to the emperor, and it is unfilial piety to the father." If the emperor misunderstands the heart of the loyal ministers, the emperor is the king of a country, and he can also be punished, but not everyone may obey this, will not damage the emperor's wisdom, if the emperor decides to still feel that it is a punishment, I implore the emperor to read that his grandfather is old, forgive his grandfather, and Qi Zheng is willing to be punished for his grandfather. ”

"Heh, what a loyal minister, what do you mean, I can't do anything about you, or do you mean that I am afraid of your Fu family." Emperor Yuan said angrily, grabbed the folding fan on the table and slammed it in front of Qi Zheng, everyone was shocked, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Qi Zheng sobbed.

Yin Guifei glanced at Hua Guifei, who bowed her head and thought about it, then glanced at Qi Zheng, evoked a sneer, got up and said: "The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important, Fu Xiaoyi is angry with the holy face, the emperor should be punished heavily, so that the concubines in the palace can take it as a warning." ”

Wen Yue was already nervous in her heart, and when she heard Yin Guifei say this, she hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, my sister didn't mean to offend the emperor, she really protects her father, and I hope that the emperor will watch Master Fu do his best for Daning, do his best to assist the emperor, be magnanimous, and forgive my sister." ”

When Emperor Yuan heard this, he looked sideways at the person who interceded, his eyes became gentler, but he still did not speak.

Youzhu got up and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, can you listen to Youzhu's words." ”

Emperor Yuan glanced at Youzhu and said lightly: "Say." ”

Youzhu then lowered his eyebrows, and his thin lips lightly opened: "The scholars and prime ministers did not hesitate to provoke the emperor to admonish him repeatedly, which is enough to see his loyalty to the country. And Qi Zheng dares to speak the truth, if everyone in the palace is like this, it is really the blessing of the emperor and the blessing of Daning. Before the concubine entered the palace, she had heard her father say that Master Fu was upright and upright, and Youzhu was willing to believe that Lord Fu was a generation of virtuous ministers, and the emperor was a generation of Ming Jun, and the concubine congratulated the emperor on winning this virtuous minister. "After that, Fu went down.

Emperor Yuan's constricted brows stretched slightly, the Queen Mother slowly got up, looked at Youzhu with a smile, and said: "He Guiren is right, the emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs, and there will be virtuous ministers beside him, the emperor should not only not be angry but should be happy, and the mourning family should also congratulate the emperor on having this loyalty." The Queen Mother bowed her head and looked at Concubine Hui with humble eyes, Concubine Hui glanced to the side, then lowered her eyes and slowly got up, slightly blessed: "The concubine also congratulates the emperor." ”

Qizheng frowned, his face was full of pain, his body swayed from side to side, and many people laughed secretly in their hearts, ignoring it.

Emperor Yuan sat down slowly, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Yuzhu and Wenyue said together.

Qi Zheng knelt on the ground, his hands were already weak to stand up, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Since the emperor is not to blame in the past, forget Xue, why don't you help your master get up quickly." Yin Guifei stared at the forgotten snow standing behind the Qizheng chair.

Forget Xue has been in a cold sweat, hearing this, immediately stepped forward to help Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng's legs were paralyzed, and she barely stood up under the support of Forget Xue, when everyone found the mottled blood stains on her skirt, they saw the tea porcelain fragments on the ground, and the hall was quiet.

Emperor Yuan's lips trembled slightly, and he replied: "Go back to the palace first, and pass the imperial doctor to take a look." ”

Forget Xue helped Qizheng and owed slightly, and Qizheng slowly opened her lips: "Emperor Xie, the concubine is retiring." With that, he moved his steps and slowly walked out of the temple.

Qizheng didn't have the slightest strength in her legs, and she forgot to help Qizheng and walked forward step by step: "Master, let's go to the Imperial Garden and take a detour, so that others can see the master like this, I am afraid that I will fall into the handle." ”

Qizheng nodded lightly, and it took some time for the two to walk to the imperial garden, Qizheng was weak under his feet, and fell to the ground, and Wangxue hurriedly picked up Qizheng and walked to the stone bench on the side and sat down: "Master, the master is like this, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to walk back to Jingyi Palace, the slave and maid will go to the Chuhui Palace to find Aunt Nian to borrow a sedan chair, and the master will suffer less, the master will rest here first, and the slave will come back immediately." After forgetting Xue, she turned around and walked quickly towards the Chu Hui Palace.

Qi Zheng sat alone on the stone bench, tears gradually slipped down, took out a handkerchief from the sleeve and was about to try to remove the tears in the corners of his eyes, when his hand was raised in front of him, he suddenly paused, a little surprised, let the tears cross his cheeks, his fingertips stroked the bluegrass in the lower corner, looked up at the sky, collected the residual tears, folded the brocade handkerchief, and wanted to put it back in the sleeve, but saw a group of people in front of him approaching, the man looked at the red eyes on the stone bench Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng also looked at him, he said a few words to the two columns of people behind him, and the two columns of forbidden troops did not stop and walked forward.

He walked to Qizheng and looked down at the brocade handkerchief in Qizheng's hand, Qizheng raised his eyes to look at him, a little stunned, and hurriedly handed the handkerchief to him: "This handkerchief Qizheng has long wanted to return to the general, but he has not seen the general for a long time, and it has been delayed until today, and I hope the general is not strange." ”

General Qi smiled and looked at Qi Zheng: "You think I'm here to ask you to return the handkerchief?" I'm just curious, I'm crying into tears, why I still let my tears flow when I hold my handkerchief. ”

Qizheng lowered her head and did not answer.

"Okay, quickly wipe away your tears, you can keep this handkerchief, next time whether you fall into the water or are wronged, there is also something in your hand to wipe water and wipe tears, no need for me to remind you." General Qi said, and turned to leave.

Qi Zheng raised his eyes to look at his back, then looked back at the brocade handkerchief held in his hand, slowly raised his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the brocade hand, and put it back in his sleeve to put it away.

Forget Xue hurried back, followed by four eunuchs carrying the sedan chair, and walked to Qizheng's side: "Master, as soon as Aunt Nian heard that the master was injured, she lent the sedan chair to the slave maid without saying much, master, go up quickly." After speaking, he stepped forward and helped Qizheng to get up and walked to the sedan chair and sat down, before beckoning the eunuch to carry the sedan chair back to Jingyi Palace.

Qi Zheng returned to the Zhaoxuan Hall with the support of Forget Xue, and as soon as he stepped into the temple door, Qing Chu greeted him, and hurriedly supported Qi Zheng, and said hurriedly: "Master, what's the matter." ”

Forget Xue and Qingchu helped Qizheng to sit down on the concubine couch in the dormitory, Qizheng leaned on the concubine couch and closed her eyes slightly.

"Forget Xue, didn't you go to the Queen Mother with your master to say goodbye, what's wrong with your master?" Qing Chu said anxiously.

Forget Xue shook her head: "It's a long story, don't talk about it yet, go and ask the imperial doctor to come and show the master." ”

Qing Chu heard the words and responded: "Okay." Then he turned and hurried out of the temple.

After a while, Qing Chu led the imperial doctor into the dormitory.

"The ministers and guards give the concubine a greeting." Doctor Wei Tai saluted.

Qing Chu hurriedly said: "Doctor Wei is not too polite, hurry up and show the master." ”

"Yes, yes." Imperial Physician Wei responded, stepped forward, and looked at Qizheng's injury: "What is the cause of this injury?" ”

"It was pierced by a broken teacup, Imperial Doctor, is the master's injury serious?" Forget the snow and busy.

Imperial Physician Wei stroked his beard and said, "The concubine is only suffering a skin injury, and it will be cured soon after taking some medicine. The Imperial Doctor arched his hand.

"There is Imperial Doctor Lao, at the beginning of the day, send Imperial Doctor Wei out." Qi Zheng lay on the concubine couch and spoke lightly.

"Yes." Qing Chu owed, "Doctor Wei, please." "I led the Imperial Doctor out.

Forget Xue looked at Qizheng and asked softly, "Is the master still in pain, what do you want to eat?" ”

Qi Zheng shook his head slightly.

Qing Chu sent the imperial doctor back to the hall and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, how did the master make it like this." ”

Forget Xue turned her eyes to look at Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng bowed slightly, and Forget Xue looked at Qing Chu and said: "Today at the Queen Mother's place, the emperor was furious because of the affairs in the court, and what made the emperor so angry was the master's father, Master Fu, the little master broke the teacup in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, but knelt on top of the fragments, I didn't see the fragments on the ground, otherwise I would never let the master kneel down." ”

"Don't talk about this yet, but then what?" Qing Chu asked.

"Later, the emperor knew that the master was the daughter of Fu University, so he was angry with the master, but fortunately He Guiren interceded with Wen Shuyi, and the master escaped." Forget Xue said helplessly.

Qing Chu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What, it was the emperor who injured the master?" ”

Forget Xue sighed: "The emperor must not have known that the master's leg was kneeling on the shard, I can see that when the emperor saw the blood stains on the master's skirt, there was a trace of remorse in the emperor's eyes." ”

When Qing Chu heard this, he didn't speak, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked at Qi Zheng and said, "Then, tonight's palace banquet, is the master still going?" ”

Qizheng nodded without hesitation: "Go, of course you have to go." ”

"But the imperial doctor told the master to rest more, can the master go down to the ground?" Forget the snow trail.

Qi Zheng nodded: "It's okay, just rest, if this concubine doesn't go, not only is it not polite, but it is also easy to fall into the hands of others." ”

Forget Xue said, "Okay, the slave and maid help the master to go." ”

"Slaves and maids also go." Qing Chu said busily.

In the evening, after taking the medicine, although Qizheng's leg was not healed, he could also walk two steps on the ground, changed into clothes, and walked to Ciye Palace with the support of Qingchu and Wangxue, before entering the palace gate, Qizheng instructed Qingchu and Wangxue to let go of their hands and follow behind, Qizheng walked lightly to the garden of Ciye Palace, looking at the stage in front of him, the palace concubine who was present was almost seated, Qizheng sighed in his heart, took a step forward, and his feet were soft, Qingchu hurriedly stepped forward to support, frowned and said: "The master's injury has not healed, or let the slave and maid support the master." ”

Qi Zheng shook his head: "No need. After that, he straightened his appearance and walked to the viewing stage......
