Chapter 167: A Good Show
There is no moon tonight, and the stars are the most happy, hanging in the sky, twinkling and twinking, like a pair of gossip eyes, waiting to see a good show.
Gonggong Li smiled at Xiao Cui quietly, "Whoever the emperor wants to punish is who he wants to punish, whoever gets involved at this time will only be punished, Miss Xiaocui, you better go back quickly." ”
After finishing speaking, Gonggong Li returned to the imperial study with a wave of Buddha dust.
Xiao Cui recalled the words of Gonggong Li, and his words seemed to have said everything, and it seemed that he had not said anything, which had to be pondered by Xiao Cui herself.
Xiao Cui returned to Yunhua Palace and went to Concubine Yun's bedroom.
In the dormitory of Yunhua Palace, on the inside of the screen, through the thin sand of the screen, a woman can be seen sitting sideways on the edge of the bed.
The woman had already taken off her fine clothes, wore a bottom garment, untied her hair bun, took a pearl hairpin, and three thousand green silks poured behind her like a waterfall, and a pair of black eyes as black as ink contained resentment.
The woman behind the screen was not someone else, it was Concubine Yun.
"Can you get any news about Guizhi?" Concubine Yun asked.
Her voice was cold, as if there was a thousand years of ice in her heart, which would never melt.
Xiao Cui snorted, "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid didn't hear the news of Sister Guizhi; But the slave heard something else. ”
Xiao Cui paused, and waited for Concubine Yun to ask, "What's the news?" ”
Xiao Cui replied again: "The emperor punished the eldest lady of the Ran family today, and also punished King Rui and the queen together." ”
Xian Chen's private intrusion into Siyun Palace, Emperor Ji Wu deliberately concealed it during the day, and deliberately concealed it from the people in Yunhua Palace, so Concubine Yun didn't know what was going on.
"Do you know why the emperor punished them?" Concubine Yun asked.
"Back to the mother's words, the exact news slave maid does not know; But there are rumors in the palace, rumors say that today is Niangniang's birthday, and the eldest lady of the Ran family somehow broke into Siyun Hall by mistake.
At that time, the emperor was celebrating Niangniang's birthday in the Siyun Palace, and when he was drunk, he didn't care about punishing the eldest lady of the Ran family who accidentally broke into the Siyun Palace.
At this time, when the emperor woke up, he thought of settling accounts after the autumn, so he called the eldest lady of the Ran family to the imperial study.
I heard that the emperor didn't say a word to the eldest lady of the Ran family, so he punished her to kneel outside the door of the imperial study.
Hearing this, Concubine Yun faintly felt that the sudden disappearance of Gui Zhi today was related to Xian Chen's accidental entry into Siyun Palace, and she couldn't help frowning into the word "Chuan".
"And the result?" Concubine Yun asked.
"As a result, His Royal Highness King Rui went to intercede for Miss Xianchen, and was also punished by the emperor, and the queen mother just stepped into the gate of the courtyard of the imperial study, and was also punished by the emperor, and punished them to kneel at the door of the imperial study."
Speaking of this, Xiaocui sighed, a little regretful, regretting that she couldn't find out the cause and effect of the incident.
"Niangniang, Gonggong Li said that whoever gets involved at this time will only be punished, let me leave quickly, and I will come back."
Concubine Yun behind the screen smiled bitterly, today is her birthday, but every year on her birthday, the emperor would rather go to Siyun Hall to inform the world that he is in Siyun Palace, missing Concubine Yun, but he is not willing to step into her Yunhua Palace for half a step.
In this world, the coldest violence is not that your lover doesn't care about you and doesn't care about you, but that he tells the world that he remembers your birthday, but he doesn't give it to you.
Concubine Yun was silent for a long time, and didn't ask Xiaocui again, but said, "Go down, I'm asleep, put out the light." ”
Xiao Cui gave the order to turn off all the lights in the dormitory before exiting the dormitory and closing the door of the dormitory.
It was late at night, the door was closed, the candle flame in the dormitory was extinguished, and in the dark dormitory, only Concubine Yun's eyes were still shining.
Yes, Concubine Yun didn't sleep, and she was destined to be sleepless tonight.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the veil on the bed.
It's been twenty years, and she has been painting the ground as a prison, trapped in this Yunhua Palace, for twenty years.
In these twenty years, he has not seen her again, he has given her great glory, but he does not want to see her again, it is ridiculous, but the world has always thought that he loves her, love her deeply.
Concubine Yun laughed mockingly at herself, laughing so hard that tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, wetting the hair on her temples and dripping into her ear sockets.
"Gu Haotian, you are so ruthless!" Concubine Yun murmured.
Gu Haotian is the name of Emperor Ji Wu.
Such a sad night, in the past twenty years, Concubine Yun has experienced countless times, she has long been accustomed to it, however, tonight is different.
Tonight, Concubine Yun's thoughts turned a thousand times, and she sorted out her thoughts.
The emperor will not punish the queen for no reason, and today Ran Xianchen accidentally broke into the Siyun Palace, I am afraid it is not so simple.
She also wanted to teach Ran Xianchen a lesson; But she knows it's not the best time.
As soon as Le Yun died, Ran Xianchen had an accident, and it was inevitable that she was the most suspicious, so she kept standing still and waiting for the opportunity.
It's just that Concubine Yun can't figure out, what did the queen do?
Why did the emperor not leave her a little face in front of the juniors, and punished her to kneel outside the imperial study with the juniors?
If this thing gets out, how will the queen be a model for these six palaces in the future?
Similarly, the queen who was kneeling in front of the imperial study couldn't figure out why Emperor Ji Wu wanted to punish her?
At this time, Emperor Ji Wu had already finished reviewing the folds.
After reading the last book, he closed it, leaned back in his chair, hung his head, and rubbed his pantothenic temples.
After closing his eyes for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the three people kneeling outside the door.
"Let them in." Emperor Ji Wu said to Gonggong Li beside him.
Immediately, Gonggong Li announced the three people kneeling outside the imperial study into the imperial study.
Xianchen knelt for the longest time, her knees kneeling as if they were about to dislocate, and as soon as she got up, a heartfelt pain came from her knees.
She almost stumbled and fell, but fortunately Gu Ziyi helped her.
Xianchen endured the pain and entered the imperial study, she was very knowledgeable, and knew that it was a big crime for her to break into the Siyun Hall by mistake today.
When he entered the imperial study, he also knelt in front of Emperor Jiwu's desk in a proper manner.
Naturally, Gu Ziyi also followed her, kneeling in a proper manner.
Gu Ziyi thought that Emperor Ji Wu still wanted to cure Xianchen's sin, so he took Xianchen's hand again and interlocked his fingers with her.
He was telling Emperor Ji Wu in his way that he was one with Xian Chen, and if Emperor Ji Wu wanted to cure Xian Chen's sin again, he was willing to bear it for her.
Emperor Ji Wu saw that the two of them were interlocking their fingers, their eyes flashed slightly, and a touch of joy sank into their eyes, but no one noticed the joy, and in an instant, his eyes were unwavering.
Gu Ziyi and Xianchen both knelt in a proper manner, only the queen, she stood in front of Emperor Ji Wudi's bookcase, aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law who had just married.
The queen just kept wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief, and her aggrieved appearance made people unbearable to see and feel pity.
Emperor Ji Wu didn't look at her, he put the queen aside.
His eyes fell on Xian Chen, "Xian Chen, do you know why I punished you today?" ”
Only then did Xian Chen withdraw her hand from Gu Ziyi's hand, and she bowed to Emperor Ji Wu and said, "If you go back to the emperor, Xian Chen accidentally broke into Siyun Hall today, and he should be punished." ”
At this time, it is not the time to be reckless, and having a correct attitude is the way to survive, not to mention, Xianchen himself is also annoyed by himself.
She was annoyed that she was too careless, she had been in the Ji Guo Palace for nearly half a month, and she didn't even bother to understand the basic situation in the Ji Guo Palace, and she didn't even know the taboos in the palace.
As long as Emperor Ji Wu's punishment is not excessive, this punishment will be recognized by Xian Chen.
"Well, your attitude is still good, get up." Then Emperor Ji Wu looked at Gu Ziyi again, "Yi'er, you should get up too." ”
Just kneeling for a while, is this big crime of trespassing on Siyun Hall over?
Xianchen couldn't believe it, her big clear eyes flashed, and she asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you don't cure my sins anymore?" ”
When he asked this, Xianchen felt like an idiot again, and if he didn't ask it, Xianchen felt uneasy.
Emperor Ji Wudi's body sank into the back of the chair and moved out, stretched his neck towards Xian Chen, looked at her seriously and asked, "Then how do you want me to punish you?" ”
Xian Chen laughed dryly, "Hehe......"
"The emperor is wise, he knows that the courtiers were framed, and the courtiers have knelt for more than two hours, and this punishment is enough, so I won't bother the emperor to punish them again."
After Xian Chen thanked Emperor Ji Wu, he quickly got up, afraid that Emperor Ji Wu would regret it and let her continue to kneel.
She hadn't knelt for so long since she was a child, and her knee felt like she was broken, and she couldn't move, but it hurt terribly.
Gu Ziyi also got up and waved his hand to Emperor Ji Wu, "Father, the minister will take Miss Xianchen back first." ”
"There's no hurry." Emperor Ji Wu's tepid two sons made Gu Ziyi and Xian Chen's hearts tighten.
Fortunately, these two people have the ability to not be surprised when they encounter problems, although they both have a heart, they don't show half a point on their faces, standing in place, waiting for Emperor Jiwu's orders.
I heard Emperor Ji Wu ask Xianchen: "Xianchen, do you know why I want to punish the queen?" ”
Xianchen secretly slandered herself, I am not a roundworm in your stomach, how will I know why you want to punish the queen?
However, slander is slander, and the question still has to be answered honestly.
Xianchen shook his head, "Courtier, I don't know." ”
Emperor Ji Wu was silent, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the empress, "What about the empress, do you know why I want to punish you?" ”
The corners of the queen's mouth twitched, and with a hint of luck, she smiled, "The emperor's concubine is also a good intention." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Ji Wudi's face instantly sank.
Subsequently, the queen's heart also sank, wondering if the emperor already knew what she had done.
She also felt that in such a short period of time, the emperor may not have found any real evidence.
She can't mess up by herself, in case the emperor cheats her, then won't she sell herself herself?
Simply, the queen continued to say boldly: "Your Majesty, if it is also a mistake to care, then the concubine will admit it, and the concubine is also distressed by the emperor, and she can't bear the emperor to stay up late, so she specially boiled a bowl of soothing soup for the emperor." ”
Those who don't know, when they hear the queen say this, will definitely think that this queen is virtuous and really a model for women in the country.
However, Xian Chen knew that Emperor Ji Wu would not punish the queen for no reason, and he must have his reasons for doing so.
So, when Xianchen looked at the queen again, he felt that she was pretending to be pitiful, but he felt that this queen and the Yao family were both people all the way, and they were good at disguising themselves.
"Hmph." Emperor Ji Wu snorted coldly.
He crossed his hands, his back sunk deep into the back of the chair, leaned back in the chair, and looked at the queen with mockery like a clown, and the queen shuddered.
Then, Emperor Ji Wu's eyes turned to Xian Chen, "Xian Chen, are you sprinkling screen powder on the palace maid who tricked you into coming to Siyun Hall today?" ”
Emperor Ji Wu knew about Yingdi powder, and Xianchen was not surprised at all.
Because when she was dressing Gu Ziyi, Gu Ziyi told her that the eighth princess told Emperor Ji Wu about the screen powder.
Emperor Ji Wu wanted to check the palace maid, and the eighth princess handed over the piece of brown glass to Emperor Ji Wu.
Having said that, Xian Chen also understood that Emperor Ji Wu had found the palace maid, and the master behind the palace maid was probably the queen.
"Yes." Slim Dust replied simply and crisply.
