Chapter 42 Punishment, what does it mean to be in moderation?
"Two boxes ......" Concubine Shu shook her head unwillingly, as if she was going crazy and stupid, "How is it possible, how can there be so many ......?"
Mu Qianxia silently supported her forehead, Gu Li was definitely not angry, and Concubine Shu was unwilling.
She glanced at Gu Li secretly, and just met his gaze, she squinted her eyes and looked at him with a smile.
Gu Li, when did you give her two boxes? Lie to paper, lie and don't make drafts!
Gu Li seemed to understand Mu Qianxia's meaning, and there was a faint arc on his lips, which was soft only when facing her, which was completely different from Fang Cai's cold arrogance.
Then his thin lips moved slightly, and he said four words with his mouth: I'll go back to you.
Mu Qianxia pursed her lips gently.
Gu Chenjing couldn't see what they were talking about, he only felt that the interaction between them at this moment was like flirting and scolding, and people couldn't help but want to go over and separate them - in front of so many people, showing their affection so much, what kind of system!
Gu Chenjing narrowed his eyes and said coldly in everyone's surprise, "Concubine Shu Niangniang just made an unintentional mistake. Since there is nothing to do with the princess now, why should you bother with an ignorant woman? What's more, Concubine Shu is still our elder! ”
Gu Li sneered, "According to what the eldest brother said, manslaughter is not a crime and you don't have to go to jail?" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, is this truth just an empty word in the eyes of the eldest brother?"
"Then the royal brother will explain the reason to his father for a while, and let his father punish her to be grounded for three months, is the third brother still satisfied with such a result?"
"The Great Prince!" Concubine Shu exclaimed in disbelief. Why didn't the eldest prince ask clearly, so he condemned her like this?
Gu Li smiled lightly, "What if this king says that he is not satisfied?" ”
Gu Chenjing's face changed, and everyone was slightly shocked.
I have long heard that the third prince and the eldest prince have always been at odds, but I have never heard of when the third prince will be so direct against the eldest prince, don't the three princes plan to continue to pretend and tear their faces with the eldest prince?
"Third brother, enough is enough!" Gu Chenjingsen's cold voice carried a bit of anger from gnashing his teeth.
"This king never knew what it meant to be in moderation." Gu Li smiled lightly.
Concubine Shu looked at Gu Li's appearance of wanting to seek justice, and sighed secretly.
This Concubine Shu is so stupid, who is not good to provoke, she has to provoke their princess.
Maybe these people in front of him don't know that the prince has never dared to confront the eldest prince, but when the time is not yet ripe, when there is no need for trivial things, let the eldest prince taste the sweetness first - after all, the identity of the eldest prince is there, and he is his royal brother, so before the two sides completely tear their faces, the surface work still has to be done, and the prince has always shown respect for the eldest prince in front of outsiders, and will never help him in public.
But whenever it is necessary, the prince has never been afraid.
Isn't it that the eldest prince thinks that their prince is afraid that he will not succeed?
Heh, that's just that the prince doesn't think it's necessary.
But today, the person they want to humiliate is the princess, and the prince will not back down even half a step!
The surrounding air seemed to be still, and the noisy wind also froze for a moment, and the two looked at each other, each with their own momentum.
Gu Chenjing narrowed his eyes coldly, endured and endured, and then forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. "Then it's better to change the three-month grounding location to the cold palace, what does the third brother think?"
Everyone was shocked again!
Cold Palace?
Grounded to the cold palace, there has never been such a statement!
What is the difference between this and directly sending Concubine Shu into the cold palace? It's just an extra deadline! But in this harem with many beauties, after three months of cold palace life, who remembers who? Maybe the emperor will have a new favorite by then!
Concubine Shu's face was as miserable as white paper, and the bean-sized tears were falling down, this time it was really miserable and miserable, "Don't, don't...... Hongu didn't mean it, Hongu really didn't mean it......"
She suddenly seemed to remember something, "Emperor, Queen......"
The queen glared at her fiercely, and that look was clearly a warning!
Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose!
Nothing was done, but it caused a fishy body, is it possible that you are still thinking about dragging her into the water now?!
Gu Chenjing naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with the queen mother, he pursed his lips coldly, "Come on, take Concubine Shu down first!" ”
"You dog slaves, get out of the way, who allowed you to touch the palace?"
"What are you doing standing there? Do you dare not listen to the words of the eldest prince? Don't you want to take Concubine Shu down? The queen commanded coldly.
"Queen Mother, you can't do this to me, you can't ......"
Along the way, there were all the cries of Concubine Shu's sorrow and despair. No one present thought that the most favored concubine in the deep palace would become an abandoned concubine in the cold palace in one day!
And the reason for this is not because of the emperor's heart, but because of another woman - the princess!
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, this eldest princess of Xichu is really not simple, when she was in Xichu before, she had her royal brother to protect her at all times and was very favored, and now she is so loved by the high-powered prince, she is the focus of attention all the time, if there is no means, they really don't believe it!
Could it be that there is really such a good woman in this world, who is the pride of heaven wherever she goes?
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Mu Qianxia's eyes with extremely complicated eyes, and they went crazy with jealousy!
But at this time, Gu Li said again: "The eldest brother is selfless, and when he disposes of Concubine Shu, this king has nothing to say." But with so many people present, the king still remembered the princess who tried to frame the princess just now, and they themselves must not forget it. ”
Gu Chenjing's face was cold, and he was about to have a seizure. Every word seemed to pop out of the throat bone, "So what the third brother means now, shouldn't everyone who was present before be punished?" ”
Gu Li was indifferent and arrogant, "The truth that the law does not blame the public is naturally understood by this king, as long as the person who participated in this matter just now apologizes to the princess, this king will no longer pursue it, otherwise, this king's methods must be clear to you." ”
Mu Qianxia frowned, did he want everyone to apologize to her?
"Gu Li...... "In fact, she doesn't care about those people's apologies, and he doesn't have to commit this public anger for her alone, the person who can get the queen to invite must be a person with a face in Beijing, if he offends these people because of her alone, she doesn't have to think about it to understand this consequence."
But Gu Li just squeezed her hand soothingly, and said indifferently: "Quiet."
"......" Mu Qianxia is angry and funny, and there are more unclear feelings flowing in her heart. She knew what that emotion was, and it wasn't the first time it had appeared, but she still couldn't let go of the past, so she could only keep dodging and retreating.
Mu Qianxia's gaze fell on Gu Li, her expression was distant, and she didn't pay attention to the people who came to her one by one to apologize, she didn't care much about it.
It wasn't until the end that the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Mu Qianxia found that everyone's eyes fell on the queen!
Mu Qianxia's breath stagnated slightly, the queen, the most arrogant one except Concubine Shu, and the real mastermind behind this matter.
But that's the queen, the mother of a country! She represents not only an individual, but also the entire royal family of Eastern Qin, how can she bow her head to others?
Mu Qianxia was surprised.
Everyone also looked at Gu Li in disbelief, wouldn't King Li really plan to let the queen apologize to Mu Qianxia too?
The queen's face turned blue with anger, and the anger almost made her lose her mind, even if she was really wrong, there was no reason to ask her to apologize, what is her identity, and what is Mu Qianxia's identity? What's more, she hasn't done anything to Mu Qianxia at all!
The queen gritted her teeth and said: "Shallow, this palace is your queen mother, isn't it that you have never regarded this palace as your queen mother in your heart?"
She had heard that the eldest princess of Xichu was forced to marry him under Gu Li's coercion, and even heard that Gu Li had obviously arrived in the capital before but left because the eldest princess of Xichu had escaped on the way here, but today, the authenticity of the previous rumors is up for debate, and she has to think about her plans after seeing her.
Gu Li sneered, "Queen, the princess of this king has never said anything from beginning to end, don't give her a hat to be indiscriminately buttoned, she has always been very bold, and this king is afraid that she can't afford it." ”
"You" The queen trembled with anger, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.
Gu Chenjing glanced at her, shook his head imperceptibly, and signaled her to be calm. Then he looked at Gu Li again, "The matter of leaving the princess is a complete misunderstanding, and the queen mother is just helping her, and the royal brother apologizes to the princess here." Today is a good day for the third brother and the third brother and sister to enter the palace for the first time after marriage, and Concubine Shu, who made trouble, has been severely punished just now, can't the third brother let this matter pass? ”
Gu Li hooked his lips and smiled lightly, "Brother Huang's words, this king should obey them." ”
Heh, just what he just performed is called obedience? I'm afraid he has some misunderstanding of these two words, right?!
Gu Chenjing sneered in his heart, now that everything has been resolved, he will be able to talk about the scene? Why didn't he know to obey just now, causing him to lose face in public!
"Brother Huang, my father will hand it over to you, and this king will take Qianqian back to the house first." Gu Li smiled lightly.
After that, he took Mu Qianxia's hand and turned to leave.
Gu Chenjing looked at the backs of Gu Li and Mu Qianxia leaving, his face was pale.
Moon white and bright red, one low-key, the other flamboyant are obviously two extremely discordant colors, but when worn on their bodies, they look unusually matched.
The two figures seemed to merge together in the daylight......
Everyone present looked at their departing backs, and when the queen saw this, she snorted coldly, "What are you still looking at here, it's all scattered for the palace!" ”
"Yes." The crowd scattered one after another.
Gu Chenru didn't dare to stay longer, and quietly left behind everyone. Speaking of the whole thing that Concubine Shu was punished, she was also an accomplice, and she was afraid that the imperial brother and the queen mother would take her for their crimes.
