Chapter 462: The Angry Queen Mother (Part II)
or the unforgivable palace concubines who murdered the emperor's heir, fornicated with the guards, and damaged the emperor's dragon body, but there are only a handful of them since the founding of the country in the past hundred years.
That place is much more terrible and desperate than the cold palace,
Once you are stigmatized as a criminal concubine, I am afraid that you will not be able to erase it in this life.
Chengying trembled all over his body, his face was pale, and he wanted to plead for mercy, but because he was only a slave, it would be even worse if he opened his mouth at this time. Although he knew that it might not be useful, he couldn't help but look up at Song Yuxue, wanting to pin his last hope on her. And Song Yuxue did plan to kneel down and plead for Bai Jingyin.
But before she could leave,
"Wait."
A deep man's voice sounded,
Yuan Ruiming actually stood up in front of everyone and walked in front of Bai Jingyin.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
The Queen Mother's eyes sank,
Could it be that even his own son was crazy and confused by Bai Jingyin, and he planned to get along with himself in front of this group of palace concubines.
Fortunately, Yuan Ruiming had not lost his mind, arched his hand towards the Queen Mother, and said respectfully:
"After returning to the queen mother, I just feel that the concubine collided with the queen mother, if the palace rules are judged, it is a big disrespect, all the affairs of the harem are fully managed by the queen mother, the queen mother should be punished, and the sons should not interfere; But in terms of family affairs, it can't be regarded as a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so that I, a son and a husband, can reconcile between it, so as to turn a big thing into a small one. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression eased a little, she continued:
"My concubine made my mother angry, and it was also my poor discipline as a son, and it is also difficult to escape the blame. If the queen mother insists on punishing Concubine Jing, I can't stay out of the matter, and I ask the queen mother to punish her together. ”
A thoughtful conversation,
has the intention of pleading, and it will not make the partiality and maintenance in the words too obvious, so as to lose the proportion that the son of heaven should have, and at the same time, he also gives enough sons and steps to the queen, and asks for each other as the son of heaven and son, so that even if the queen mother gives up the punishment by 'going back on her word', it will not damage the majesty at all.
The Queen Mother quietly looked at the two people of Her Royal Highness,
As time passed, I could only hear the sound of the armor hitting the table, not only on the table, but also on everyone's heart.
The concubines were silent,
On the one hand, they were jealous and red-eyed because of the emperor's protection, on the one hand, they hoped that the Queen Mother would better not spare Concubine Jing, and on the other hand, they were even more afraid that the Queen Mother's phoenix anger would affect them.
Each of them had their minds in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads, and they were about to buckle the handkerchief in their hands.
finally
The Queen Mother broke the silence with a voice,
"You don't feel sorry for yourself, you have to worry about the things in the harem when you are sick, what do you say, 'you can't stay out of the matter', let the mourning family punish together, but the mourning family can't help but feel sorry for their children. If he really sent Concubine Jing to the Zongren Mansion today, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to recuperate with peace of mind. ”
Originally, the Queen Mother really didn't plan to do anything to Bai Jingyin, but Bai Jingyin's words and deeds today were too annoying, and she repeatedly tested the bottom line of the Queen Mother, which provoked her old man to be angry and ordered a heavy responsibility.
The Zongren Mansion is indeed too serious,
Since the emperor gave this step, there is no reason why the queen mother should not come down.
sighed,
"That's it, the mourning family doesn't want to become that unkind old woman, so it's hard for you juniors."
Set your eyes on Bai Jingyin.
"Since the emperor values you so much, he has interceded for you, Concubine Jing, do you know if you are wrong."
Bai Jingyin knelt on the ground,
raised his head, and there was still a stubbornness in his unruly eyes,
"I-"
As soon as he opened his mouth and said a word,
was interrupted by a look from Yuan Ruiming,
whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Enough is enough, think about the people who are worried about you."
I have to say that Yuan Ruiming knows Bai Jingyin no less than herself, and she knows what she is thinking just by the tone of the word 'I'.
Indeed, Bai Jingyin neither wanted to accept his affection, nor did he feel that he was wrong, let alone that he should know his mistake. I was going to admit my death today and go down with the Queen Mother,
But to hear him say this,
looked at Chengying and Song Yuxue, who looked worried, and seemed to be begging her to bow her head quickly and admit her mistake with her eyes, so that the Queen Mother could be relieved.
“……”
Bai Jingyin sighed in his heart,
This is the reason why she didn't want to establish too many emotional ties at the beginning, she could have come and gone naked without worry, but now it's good, when she thinks that someone will be afraid of her, she can't help but be restrained when she does things.
"Concubine Jing?"
Aunt Rui is also very fond of Bai Jingyin, and said loudly:
"Presumably, Concubine Jing is thin-skinned, and she blames herself and feels guilty. But since the Queen Mother asked, it is better not to think too much and answer quickly. ”
No way,
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubine knows that she is wrong, even if there is a great grievance, she should not be indifferent to the Queen Mother's words and deeds, which makes the Queen Mother angry, and asks the Queen Mother to forgive her sins, and the concubine will reflect on and correct it in the future."
"For the emperor's sake, and for your sincerity in admitting your mistakes, let's forget about today's business. You are a concubine, not a country girl, don't rely on the emperor's connivance to really ignore your identity. After speaking, Bai Jingyin glanced at the crowd again, "And you are the same, if you learn from those long-tongued women and spread rumors to stir up right and wrong, there will be an empty space for you in the Zongren Mansion." ”
"The concubines must follow the teachings of the Queen Mother, and they must keep it in mind and never do it again."
Everyone bent their knees, and Rin responded in unison.
It can be regarded as a full stop for this twisted and turning morning.
***
Out of the Taihe Palace,
Bai Jingyin walked forward with her face hanging and walking with the wind, walking faster and faster, until Chengying couldn't even catch up with her at a trot, and had to shout behind her:
"Miss, Miss, slow down, I just asked you to do an errand in the palace, and now your legs are still weak, you wait for me."
"I can't wait, if I don't hurry up."
Chengying didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly, only saw the back that didn't intend to slow down, as if he just wanted to get out of that place quickly.
Chengying, who couldn't walk, was holding his knees on the side of the road,
While panting, he wondered:
"What are you doing so quickly, is it possible that there are jackals, tigers and leopards behind you—"
The word 'Cheng' has not yet been spoken,
Then I saw a bright yellow figure quickly passing by her side and rushing forward. Because of the extremely fast speed, a gust of wind lifted the corners of her clothes, and also made Chengying messy in the wind, and the whole person was stunned.
Fang Cai that,
It should be the emperor, right?
After reacting, he gasped.
