Chapter 22: The National Teacher Arrives
The leading guard stared at Mama Ji condescendingly, "Which palace?" ”
The old woman was huddled in the corner, a few unburned pieces of paper money scattered at her feet.
When the night breeze blows, the paper money suddenly rises, swaying and spinning, like a few withered butterflies.
Mama Ji squatted there, buried her head, and reached out to bring the paper money back to her side.
"Old woman, are you deaf?" As she spoke, another guard slid her foot on the pile of paper money she had managed to gather.
The faint flame on the paper money was completely extinguished, and Mama Ji let out a low cry and fumbled for the fire fold.
Seeing this, the leading guard was furious and pushed her hard, "Old thief! Do you dare to continue burning paper? ”
Mama Ji was old and frail, and her body fell heavily into the mud.
But as if she didn't know the pain, she struggled to get up, and her mouth kept muttering something.
When the guard saw that she still refused to confess her guilt, he dragged her to the Punishment Division.
"The old bones are quite hard, I want to see if those eunuchs who are used to eating people will tear down your bones."
Mama Ji was dragged to the side by his arm, her eyes bulging like fish beads, "Let go of me, let go!" ”
She tore like crazy, and the guard didn't pay attention to her, "Humph! I think you'd better burn more for yourself. ”
As he spoke, the guard lifted Mama Ji and raised his hand to fight him.
"Stop." Chu Ning arrived in time to stop the guard from doing something to Mama Ji.
Seeing that it was the third princess, the leading guard quickly stood up straight and saluted her, "I have seen the third princess in my humble position." ”
Chu Ning motioned to the little eunuch behind him to help Mama Ji up.
The guards hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness doesn't know, this old woman is burning paper in the palace." ”
"Oh?" Chu Ning smiled and said, "She is a person from my palace, and this palace will take her back." ”
"Paper is not allowed to be burned in the palace, since someone has been caught breaking the taboo, we must hand that person over to the Criminal Justice Division for disposal."
Chu Ning glanced at the ashes on the ground, "Where did anyone burn paper?" There was nothing but ash on the ground, and it was dispersed when the wind blew. ”
The guard heard that Chu Ning wanted him to let him go, but he knew that the third princess had never been favored, and she was scared stupid some time ago.
Empress Yao was strict under her rule, and if she knew that she had released this old woman privately, his future in the palace would be worrying.
Besides, what good can this stupid princess give him?
The guard weighed it in his heart, "Please also ask Your Highness not to embarrass your humble position." ”
Chu Ning's smile turned cold, "The one who is embarrassed is this palace." ”
The guards saw that she insisted on Mama Baoji, and their hearts were down, and they decided to fall to Queen Yao's side.
"Well, since it is someone from Heyi Palace who committed the crime, I will go to tell the queen mother, and ask the mother to deal with it as appropriate."
Chu Ning stopped the guards, "Why should this matter alarm the queen mother?" The subordinates of the main palace are under the control of the main palace itself. ”
"The third princess should let go, everything in the palace is decided by the queen mother."
Several guards looked at each other, and their faces all showed a little contempt.
Chu Ning smiled slightly, "If you say it, this palace will know." But the matter of Heyi Palace is probably still up to the palace. ”
The guards refused to give in at all, and reached out to grab Mama Ji.
"Your Highness, please, but this old woman must go with us today."
Chu Ning smiled, "If you dare to touch her, you will be disrespectful to the palace, which of you can afford the crime of great disrespect?" ”
Seeing that the third princess refused to back down, several guards pushed each other and shouted that they would take her to see the queen mother.
"The Third Princess." A clear voice came.
Several guards were startled and hurriedly let go of Mama Ji.
In the night, a young man in a blue robe stepped on the moon, followed by a boy, like an immortal in a painting.
His half-draped silver hair was dyed with moonlight and shimmered with a fine sheen.
Chu Ning also nodded and smiled at him, "Young National Master." ”
Liu Tingchuan said lightly to everyone: "I advise you not to make a big deal about this matter, let alone disturb the purity of the queen's mother." ”
The guards have always regarded the young national master as a god, and when they heard him say this, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
"However, this grandmother violated the palace rules and should be sent to the Punishment Division according to the law......
Before the guard finished speaking, Liu Tingchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words.
Liu Tingchuan said indifferently: "Okay, it was the queen mother who asked me to do a secret ritual in the palace." ”
The implication is that several people broke his law and came into contact with the queen's moldy head.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the queen mother to verify it in person."
Liu Tingchuan said this, who would dare to question it?
Several guards had no choice but to leave Mama Ji behind and walk away.
Chu Ning ordered someone to help Mama Ji, "From now on, everyone in this palace will be blessed by this palace." ”
Liu Tingchuan walked away casually, as if he had never crossed paths with her.
The moment he passed by her, Chu Ning heard his extremely low voice.
“…… You're welcome. ”
