Chapter 50: Hongzhu is punished

"You said Hongzhu inadvertently offended Zhang Jieyu?" Tang Ningnan was very puzzled, she had never heard Hongzhu talk about it.

"Yes, you don't know it, concubine, right? Hongzhu inadvertently mentioned that Zhang Jieyu sang in the Water Imperial Palace but was ignored by the emperor, and was hit by Zhang Jieyu, Zhang Jieyu was angry for a while but slapped Hongzhu. Bengong thought that she would stop after a slap, but she didn't expect to think of such a vicious plan to deal with a palace maid. ”

"No, it's not like this." Zhang Jieyu was already full of panic.

"Speaking of which, sister, I still have to say no to my sister, it was the white peony in my sister's palace who accidentally bumped into the red bead and found the purse." Concubine Hua said to Tang Ningnan, revealing in her tone that it was annoying artificiality.

Then he turned his head to face Zhang Jieyu: "You also have parents and brothers, why are you so impulsive and don't think about your family?"

Zhang Jieyu on the ground raised her head violently, Concubine Hua smiled positively, threw her a meaningful look, and said: "If you want to teach a palace maid, how can you teach a bad lesson, do you have to do a trick in praying for blessing and rain?"

You must know that if you really delay the rain and aggravate the drought in Huaizhong, your father and your brother will be implicated. So this palace advises you, confess your sins obediently, and don't burden them, you say, right? After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she stopped looking at her, and raised her head to look at the furnishings in the Yaoguang Palace.

Zhang Jieyu lowered her head, her upper teeth clenched and bit her lower lip, as if she was struggling to think, and only after a long time did she raise her head.

"I did it, I was the one who put the dirty clothes, and I was the one who made Master Huiyuan say that." Zhang Jieyu said with a sob.

"Did anyone instruct you?" Tang Ningnan opened her mouth, if she wanted to say that Zhang Jieyu did it alone, she naturally didn't believe it.

"Zhang Jieyu, this palace advises you to think about your father and brother, who instructed you to do it, why you did it, and how to do it." Concubine Hua turned her head and said to her.

"No one instructed me, I did it alone, I was offended by Hongzhu and held a grudge against her, it was because I didn't like Xiao Guifei and attacked her maidservant."

"The emperor has arrived!" Zhang Jieyu had just finished speaking, and Su Mingju's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Zhang Jieyu, who heard the emperor coming up, panicked, and didn't even dare to raise her head after the salute.

"I said Su Ming, queen, did everything happen to Zhang Jieyu?" The emperor walked straight into the main hall and sat down on the phoenix chair let by the queen.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zhang Jieyu has admitted it just now."

"Everything has been figured out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's been found out! Zhang Jieyu bought Huiyuan and framed the red bead girl at the rain ceremony. ”

"Zhang Jieyu, a small-bellied chicken intestine, framed the palace maid, the unforgivable crime of destroying the rain ceremony, demoted to an official woman, moved to Cai Juyuan, and was not allowed to go out without an order, Huiyuan, as a monk, accepted bribes, took the rain as a child's play, and gave death." Feng Fei Han sat down and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the emperor spares your life, concubine, concubine doesn't want to go to the cold palace, Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua save the concubine!" Zhang Jieyu's voice begging for mercy gradually faded away.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother, the concubines have no right to assist in the six palaces, and the second has nothing to do with this matter, the queen wants to punish Zhang Jieyu, why do you want to call the concubines in a hurry?"

Tang Ningnan and the queen thought that the matter would be revealed and Zhang Jieyu would confess to Concubine Hua, so they called her over, but they didn't expect Zhang Jieyu to insist that she did it alone.

"Zhang Jieyu is from your palace, she made a mistake, the palace naturally wants to ask you to watch her be punished, I hope you will go back to restrain the palace people in the future, but don't make any mistakes." The queen cleared her throat and replied to her question.

"Thank you for the concubine's teachings, now there is nothing to do, and the concubine will retire first." Concubine Hua saluted the emperor and queen, then walked to the door, and before she went out, she turned her head and said:

"Concubine Xiao, now that the truth of the matter has been clarified, go to the palace to pick up Hongzhu back, I'm afraid that Hongzhu has suffered a lot in the past two days." There was a look of pity on his face, but it made people feel disgusted.

Tang Ningnan fastened the handle of the chair, and after asking Empress Fengfei Han to resign, he took Bizhu to the palace to punish the dignitaries.

When Hongzhu was carried out of the palace punishment, she was already dying.

"Mother, slave, are you dying?" Hongzhu raised his hand full of pinched wounds and held Tang Ningnan's hand.

"No, Hongzhu won't, you won't die, I will let the Imperial Doctor heal you well." Tang Ningnan's voice trembled a little, but in a day and a night, Hongzhu became like this, and you can imagine how ruthless the people of the palace punishment are.

"Red Bead!" As soon as the person arrived at the door of Rong Yuxuan, Pu Julian pounced, took Hongzhu's hand, and followed all the way to the hall.

"Hongzhu, it's all my fault, I have to make that purse for me, if it wasn't for my forcible request, you wouldn't have done it, let alone today's thing, you hold on, my junior brother and I will heal you immediately."

"Hmm." Hongzhu shook her head, "The purse is something I am willing to make for you, not something you forced." Weakly squeezed out a sentence, and fell asleep.

"Red beads, red beads!" Tang Ningnan called her name loudly, "Imperial Doctor Lin, Doctor Julian take a look, quick!" ”

Hongzhu's legs and hands were clamped with sticks, his left hand seemed to be injured by his muscles and bones, unable to move, and his body was also scarred by whipping, there was no good place, the most serious thing was the scalding of the collarbone, the wound and the clothes were stuck together, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and it was likely to fester.

After cleaning the wound and applying the medicine, Pu Julian and Lin Zhizhou were already sweating profusely.

"Niangniang, Weichen and Senior Brother have already treated the wound for the Hongzhu girl, and the next step is to cultivate well, especially her left hand, she can't do heavy work until she is completely well, and the medicine must be applied every day, and the whiplash can be eliminated, that is, the burn at the collarbone of the Hongzhu girl, I'm afraid it will leave a scar." Lin Zhizhou came out and replied.

"This palace knows, you have worked hard, go sit outside and have a cup of tea."

"I'm not going out, I'm going to accompany Hongzhu here." Pu Julian squatted in front of the bed, holding Hongzhu's hand and refusing to leave.

"Senior brother!" The red beads were carried directly to Tang Ningnan's bedroom, Pu Julian was really inappropriate here, and Lin Zhizhou had a little reproach in his tone.

"It's okay, let him stay here, let's all go out first." Tang Ningnan waved his hand and beckoned everyone to go out.

"Hongzhu, you must get better." Pu Julian took Hongzhu's hand, her face full of distress, "When you are well, I will marry you, and when we leave the palace, no one will bully you again in the future." ”

"The emperor has arrived."

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Didn't you go back to the Chaohui Palace? Tang Ningnan stood up and saluted.

"I'm worried about you, I've made you suffer for the past two days, and I can't handle these things because of government affairs."

"The concubine is fine, Your Majesty." Tang Ningnan shook his head, "The emperor's government affairs are important, and the concubines understand that so many things have happened in the harem, and it is also because the concubines themselves have not managed them well, and the concubines have not suffered, and it is Hongzhu who really suffers!" After speaking, Tang Ningnan looked at the inner room.

Pu Julian opened the curtain and walked out of it, walked straight to Tang Ningnan and Feng Feihan and knelt down.

"Wechen wants to ask the emperor and Xiao Guifei to marry Wechen and Hongzhu." After speaking, he kowtowed deeply and stopped raising it.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Julian and Hongzhu are the two concubines in their eyes, the two of them really like each other, Hongzhu can marry Dr. Julian, and the concubines are also happy." Tang Ningnan also helped to speak.

"Pu Julian, Hongzhu is the person next to Xiao Guifei, Xiao Guifei agrees with me Of course there is no objection, but you told me that you don't want to be an errand in the Tai Hospital, do you want to take Hongzhu back to Jizhou? In the future, Concubine Xiao Guifei misses Hongzhu, won't she be able to see each other? ”

"Your Majesty ......" Hearing Feng Feihan say this, Pu Julian raised her head, thinking that he would not agree to this matter.

"Since you don't want to be an errand in the palace, then I will give you a mansion in the capital, and you can settle down in the capital, and you can also use your medical skills to open a medical hall to treat the poor people in the capital." Feng Feihan said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Concubine Xiao." Pu Julian hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, but she didn't expect the emperor to even think about the rest of the matter.

Tang Ningnan looked at Feng Feihan with a relieved expression, and just met his gaze, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

In the days that followed, Pu Julian seemed to be living in Rong Yuxuan, and she was always by Hongzhu's side.

As Pu Julian said, two days after Hongzhu came out of the palace, there were several rains in Huaizhong, and the drought was greatly alleviated.

Tang Ningnan also specially asked Pu Julian how he looked at the celestial phenomena to know that it would rain in Huaizhong soon, and Huaizhong was still hundreds of miles away from the capital.

Pu Julian just smiled lightly and said: "Looking at the sky is actually just an excuse, the drought in Huaizhong is every year, but this year is more serious than before.

Liang country has a vast territory, the climate is different in various places, every spring, the wind blowing from the South China Sea carries water vapor, so that the southeast region of the plum rain one after another, in a month or two, this water vapor will go north, come to Huaizhong, alleviate the drought in spring, but this year is a little later, but the time will not be later than these two days. ”

"I see." Tang Ningnan nodded, but secretly felt that Pu Julian was very powerful, although he knew that he knew astronomy and geography as early as Jizhou, but he didn't want to think that he was also quite researched in climate.

Two months have passed, and the wound on Hongzhu's body is almost healed, that is, the burn next to the collarbone, leaving a colorful red scar.

"Will you hate me?" Hongzhu asked Pu Julian next to her, and the two were sitting under the willow tree next to the embankment of the liquid pond.

Pu Julian touched Hongzhu's head and said, "How come? When have I ever disliked you? ”

"But, that scar is so ugly, who would marry a girl with such a big scar on her body?" Hongzhu bowed her head, and her voice was small.

"No, I don't think it's ugly, but it looks like a red rose!"

"Really?"

"Well, really!"

On May 7, Pu Julian married Hongzhu, and Rong Yuxuan was happy and peaceful.
