Chapter 128: A Different Path
Fu Qizheng was shocked, his eyebrows were deep, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
There was no time to change clothes, Nian Jin'an brought a cloak to put on Fu Qizheng, Fu Qizheng hurriedly went out of the dormitory, and was in a hurry to go to Luomeitai, Liu Yi held the lamp in front, and Nian Jin'an followed behind with a group of maids. "Your Majesty, the concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine will never dare anymore."
Hearing the sound from afar, Fu Qizheng quickened his pace, only to see Emperor Yuan rushing out of Luomeitai and rushing towards this side, and then Wen Yue chased after him and knelt down at the foot of the steps, crying: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”
Seeing this, Fu Qizheng was apprehensive, and hurriedly went over and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan: "See the emperor, I don't know what mistake Lan Ronghua made, and I hope the emperor will calm his anger." ”
"Get up." Emperor Yuan stopped.
Fu Qizheng stood up, his eyes were calm as if he was walking on thin ice, and before he could speak, he only heard Emperor Yuan's cold voice: "Go and see for yourself." ”
Fu Qizheng walked towards Wen Yue, and vaguely saw the blood marks on Wen Yue's neck by the candlelight of the palace lamp, and said in shock: "What are you doing." ”
Yan'er, who was kneeling behind Wen Yue, said loudly: "The master wants to emulate Concubine Aya'......"
Wen Yue turned around and reprimanded, "Don't say it." Then he kowtowed and said loudly, "It was the concubine's own idea, and it was the concubine's fault not to do her sister's business." ”
Youzhu's words were originally a joke, but who knew that Wen Yue actually understood it indiscriminately and did such a stupid thing, not to mention Emperor Yuan's anger, even Fu Qizheng was already angry in his heart, and it was useless to reprimand it was so far, so he said to Nian Jin'an: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come." Without further ado, he turned around and saw that Emperor Yuan had left, so he also moved back to the palace.
Nian Jin'an sent someone to ask for a doctor. Following behind Fu Qizheng sighed: "How could Lan Ronghua think of using self-injury to fight for the emperor's sympathy. ”
Liu Yi said: "I'm afraid that I will do such a ridiculous thing because of the ghosts." ”
When I went back, I saw Li Changhai guarding outside the Jingyi Palace, and I was relieved, and in the dormitory, Emperor Yuan stood with his back to the outside and his hands in his hands.
Fu Qizheng dismissed the waiters, cautiously walked into the dormitory, and lightly closed the door. Fu Qizheng slowly spoke: "It's the concubine's fault, if the concubine doesn't hide it from Wen Yue, she won't listen to those words and act so nonsense." ”
"If you take any fault on yourself, how can I be so confused that I don't distinguish between right and wrong." Emperor Yuan scolded lightly.
Fu Qizheng Fu lowered his body and pleaded guilty: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor is angry in Jingyi Palace, and the concubines are to blame, and besides, this matter is because ......of the concubines after all" Emperor Yuan turned around and looked at Fu Qizheng: "I don't want to mention this matter again, but I must not tolerate and connive, she is a person in your palace, how to deal with it, you can do it yourself."
Fu Qizheng bowed his head and said: "The concubine understands, the emperor can rest assured, if something like this happens, the concubine is even more angry than the emperor, and she will be severely punished, and she will not be merciful."
Early in the morning of the second day, Fu Qizheng ordered Nian Jin'an to come to Wenyue.
When Wen Yue entered Jingyi Palace, her face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and when she saw her, she knew that she should have been sleepless last night.
"Sister." Wen Yue knelt in the hall with a lost expression.
Fu Qizheng stood in the hall, and when she saw her like this, she was angry and annoyed, but the top priority was not to deal with Wen Yue, so she said, "You get up first." ”
Then Nian Jin'an took Luomeitai and a group of attendants into the hall, bowed and said, "Niangniang, the minions of Luomeitai are all here." ”
"See the mother." Yan'er led them to their knees.
Wen Yue stood up and turned her eyes to look at the group of people kneeling in the hall, and hurriedly explained to Fu Qizheng: "Sister, it's none of their business. ”
Fu Qizheng ignored Wen Yue, walked straight to the maids, paced back and forth, and said coldly: "Say, who came up with the idea yesterday." ”
Several people knelt and lowered their heads without saying a word.
"Sister......
Fu Qizheng instantly glanced at Wen Yue and reprimanded: "Shut up! If you dare to say more, the palace will pull these palace maids out and kill them immediately. He glanced back at the attendants: "Why, don't you dare to say anything?" I still have to send you to the criminal department to be tortured one by one before you can speak. ”
"It is Yan'er's idea for the mother to spare her life, the concubine is convinced of Yan'er, and the slaves and maids dare not persuade each other." A palace maid kneeling behind said in a trembling voice.
Fu Qizheng sneered and whispered: "I don't dare to persuade you." He turned around and said, "Except for this palace maid named Yan'er, the others will be pulled out and punished for twenty." ”
Xiao Pingzi took the order and led someone to pull a few maids out.
Seeing this, Yan'er couldn't hold her breath anymore, and kept kowtowing with trembling: "Niangniang forgives sins, Niangniang forgives sins, slave maid, slave maid also listened to the master's ......"
Fu Qizheng turned sideways and squinted at her, and said unhurriedly: "This palace hasn't asked yet, what are you in a hurry, these twenty canes can't fall on you yet." ”
The cries and canes outside made Wen Yue and Yan'er in the hall even more panicked, Wen Yue almost wanted to kneel down and plead, seeing Fu Qizheng's extremely gloomy face, even if she was anxious, she didn't dare to be angry anymore.
Fu Qizheng was silent for a long time, glanced outside the door, and then said: "You are a slave who is loyal to the master, and yesterday you were thinking about pushing the palace, but I wonder why the emperor didn't do anything about the palace when he heard it?" ”
Yan'er begged for mercy again and again: "The slave and the maid don't dare anymore, the slave and the maid think that the mother and the master are sisters, and the mother will definitely help the master, and the emperor will not blame the mother if he loves the mother, and if the mother holds it for the master, the master will be fine, so that the best of both worlds." ”
Fu Qizheng snorted and said: "Since you are so smart, how could you not know that Lan Ronghua's move is ridiculous in advance, the master is confused, and you, who are a slave, not only do not stop it, but also add fuel to the fire and make the master make a big mistake." ”
"It was the master who mentioned that Concubine Aya hurt herself and got the emperor's love, and the slave felt that the master might as well give it a try, maybe the master could also be favored like the mother, but the slave persuaded the master to think twice, and also let the master hurt his hand or other places, but the master said that only according to the mother's actions, it may be the same result, so the master also stabbed ......."
"It's ridiculous, you are Lan Ronghua's personal maid, so you don't distinguish between right and wrong, foolish and loyal to the master, you should have been killed with a rod to set an example, remember your lord's loyalty, spare your life, come to someone, and send this servant to the Huanshang Bureau." Fu Qizheng said sharply.
Wen Yue knelt down and begged: "Sister, sister is gracious, this matter is all my fault, Yan'er is also for my good, how can she stand it in the Huanshang Bureau, has my sister forgotten Yunqing." ”
Fu Qizheng didn't seem to care about what Wen Yue said, and then said coldly: "First sand blame twenty and then drag it to the Huanshang Bureau." ”
"Niangniang forgive your sins, the slave and maid don't dare anymore."
"Sister."
"Thirty ...... of the cane" Fu Qizheng is distinct.
The hall was silent for a moment, and then Yan'er was taken down to scold the cane, Wen Yue knelt on the ground, and had already cried into tears, but she didn't dare to say a word. Fu Qizheng glanced at Nian Jin'an, Nian Jin'an understood, withdrew with the people waiting in the hall, and closed the door.
Fu Qizheng walked back to the palace and sat down, and said: "Whether you complain about the palace, or hate the palace, that Yan'er staying by your side will only make you more and more wrong and go astray, and this person can't stay." ”
Wen Yue was depressed, her eyes were blank, and she said slowly: "I don't hate my sister, I only hate myself for being useless, my sister is a sister, my sister is happy with whatever the emperor does, and whatever I do will only make the emperor angry, and it will also affect the people around me." ”
"It's you who only know one thing and don't know the other, and act recklessly." Fu Qizheng glanced at her and told her everything that happened.
Wen Yue knew the ins and outs, obviously regretting her mistakes, and sat on the ground a little stunned.
Fu Qizheng asked again: "Your foolish actions in recent days, but what did your father tell you that day?" ”
Wen Yue didn't squeak, and it seemed that she didn't want to answer.
"You don't even say that this palace knows, it's nothing more than letting you win the favor of the saint." Fu Qizheng said lightly, it is understandable that the nature of striving for fame and profit wants to revive the family, but Wen Yue is now driven by these thoughts to go mad and rush to the doctor.
"Dad was dismissed, I am my father's only hope, my father has no official job, there are several aunts in the family, as well as brothers and brothers, how can they live."
"Now that you've got this situation, they're going to be okay?"
Wen Yue laughed at herself: "I was stupid and mistakenly believed the joke."
"Did you ever want to come over and discuss with this palace before you did these things?"
Wen Yue said: "Discuss with your sister, don't think that your sister will object."
"Since you know that this palace will oppose you, you still dare to act recklessly, or do you think that this palace's opposition will only harm you and hinder your future." Fu Qizheng said coldly, and his tone became heavier.
Wen Yue said resolutely: "I want to rely on myself to win the favor, so that I don't want to rob my sister." ”
Fu Qizheng evoked a sneer: "Very good, from now on, this palace will no longer ask about everything you do, you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, and this palace will not stop you." But this palace warns you that this is Jingyi Palace, and if you make a mistake, this palace will never tolerate and protect you. Seeing her senseless appearance, he raised his hand and beckoned, and said lightly, "You can go." ”
Wen Yue stood up slowly, silently moved towards the door of the palace, opened the door and went out, it was already quiet outside.
Nian Jinan then came in and said, "Niangniang, it's all punished." ”
Fu Qizheng leaned on the couch, supported his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and ordered: "Find the imperial doctor to treat the injuries of those palace maids, and then let Xiao Pingzi pick two other maids and wait for the time being." ”
"Yes." Nian Jin An responded.
"Luomeitai has cleaned her up, this is the last time this palace will help her, in her opinion, it may have hurt her, if she wants to hate, let her hate it." Fu Qizheng smiled indifferently, and said to Nian Jin'an, "Staring at that maid, this palace feels that she is not really helping Wen Yue, but has a little bit of the intention of using Wen Yue to harm this palace, Wen Yue is confused, she believes in everything, and wants to try anything, but that maid will not be confused." ”
"What Niangniang means is that Yan'er instigated Lan Ronghua to follow Niangniang's example is not to help Lan Ronghua compete for favor, but to know that the emperor will see through it, and she looks forward to confessing Niangniang when the emperor sees through it, so that the emperor can be angry with Niangniang, if so, then the slave maid should also check the details of this maid."
"She just listened to Wen Yue's words, thinking that this palace had really done such a stupid thing, and her parents who were exposed to her body would not dare to destroy it unless they had to." Fu Qizheng said lightly.
It didn't take long for Zhou and Yang to come to the door to ask for peace, thinking they heard the movement.
"I heard about last night's incident, and Lan Ronghua doesn't know the depths of ......," Zhou complained.
Fu Qizheng immediately said: "This matter has been disposed of by the palace, just let it be over, don't mention it again." ”
"Yes, yes." Yang said again: "Niangniang is benevolent, only punished those minions, but this matter will definitely make Lan Ronghua remember it for a long time." ”
Zhou then echoed: "The palace maid named Yan'er often chews her tongue in Lan Ronghua's ear and comes up with some unbounded ideas, which will inevitably harm Lan Ronghua in the long run, and Niang Niang wisely sent her to the Huanshang Bureau." ”
Fu Qizheng softened the corners of his forehead: "You won't come here today just to mention Lan Ronghua." ”
Zhou then smiled and said: "This is not true, the two of us have long been obedient to the mother, so naturally we have to share the worries of the mother." ”
Fu Qizheng said lightly: "Say it."
"The concubine inquired about Concubine Shu and Gongzi Fei, who were originally friends outside the palace, and later Concubine Shu entered the palace, and the two broke up, but no matter how scattered they were, they were still connected."
Yang said. Fu Qizheng was slightly startled, and said with a frown: "Is this true?" ”
Yang said more and more seriously: "Eight or nine is not far from ten. ”
Zhou Shi said: "In addition, the concubine learned that Zhang Sheng, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, was once the deputy general of General Wang, and he was loyal to General Wang, and the letters frequently exchanged between Wang Guiren and the general's wife were also forwarded by this person. ”
Fu Qizheng knew that these two people had some skills, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of the news too much, and at first he was worried that Wang Ji might not be able to deliver the news out of the palace in time for Wang Yong to know, but now it seems that it should not be delayed, if everything goes well, just wait for the opportunity at this moment.
