Chapter 37: Respect for virtue and not respect for the elderly
Everyone thought that Chu Ning was scared, and they wanted to take the initiative to bow down to Mrs. Cai and admit their mistakes.
Chu Sleeve looked at her suspiciously, and Old Lady Cai motioned for Chu Sleeve to go away first.
"The old man is a first-class lady, and he can still afford this little courtesy."
But Chu Ning did not salute Mrs. Cai and plead guilty.
Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, she slowly walked to the table and picked up the red sandalwood burner on the table.
She looked down and sniffed the scent escaping from the stove and asked, "Ambergris?" ”
The incense inside has not yet burned out, and there is a layer of copper water in the stove, and Chu Ning does not feel hot when he holds it in his hand.
Empress Yao's eyes were indifferent, and her smile was gentle, "Yes." ”
The incense of that stove was newly added, and as soon as Chu Ning entered the house, he smelled that the fragrance was strong.
At this time, the incense ash is also the hottest.
Chu Ning lifted the lid of the incense burner, raised his hand, and suddenly poured the ashes of the incense burner towards Mrs. Cai.
only heard Mrs. Cai's exclamation, and everyone didn't have time to step forward to stop it.
The old woman actually got up from the ground by herself, and ran and jumped to the side.
Chu Ning put the incense burner back on the table, and Ying Ying said with a smile: "The incense ash in Niangniang's palace is comparable to the elixir. ”
was easily recognized as a trick of pretending to be lame, and Mrs. Cai's face was extremely ugly, and she was about to fall down with pain in her mouth.
Qiu Mo grabbed her, helped her to sit down next to her, and smiled gently: "Old lady, be careful not to fall again." ”
Chu Sleeve's face was red and white for a while, and he sobbed and shrank behind Old Madam Cai.
Old Madam Cai's face turned pale, trembling and clenching the crutches in her hand, and glanced at Chu Sleeve dissatisfied.
Chu Ning saluted Queen Yao and said goodbye, but was stopped by Chu Sleeve.
Chu Sleeve hurriedly stepped forward and knelt at Queen Yao's feet, and glanced back at Old Madam Cai with tears in his eyes.
"Niangniang, the third sister has no respect for the elder, and the following offenders are committed, and the concubine begs the mother to discipline her on her behalf to revitalize the palace discipline."
Empress Yao's gaze fell lightly on Chu Ning.
"Cai's is the bottom, the palace is the top, and the second emperor's sister's sentence 'the following is guilty' is not wrong."
Old Madam Cai said angrily: "Net will talk nonsense! ”
Chu Ning said: "The father and the mother are the elders of the palace, and the palace respects the filial piety, how can there be no respect for the elders?" ”
Chu Sleeve wiped his tears and accused: "I am old and I am old, how can the third sister not know? ”
Chu Ning looked at Old Madam Cai and said indifferently: "For the old and disrespectful people, why should this palace respect them?" ”
"Bang!"
Mrs. Cai was so angry that her hands trembled, and the crutches in her hands fell to the ground sullenly.
Chu Ning smiled coldly and said, "This palace respects virtue and does not respect the elderly, and the old lady is also asked to respect herself." ”
Old Madam Cai rolled her eyes and fainted at her words.
Chu Sleeve cried and begged Empress Yao to deal with Chu Ning, but Empress Yao had to order Jingqin to take her to the violent room.
"Let the third princess be quiet."
Last time Jingqin threatened to take her to the Violent Chamber, she managed to trick Jingqin into taking her to see Empress Yao.
This time, she couldn't do it again.
The only bargaining chip in Chu Ning's hand was the whereabouts of the jade seal, and if she used it at this time, then she would be worthless.
Jingqin urged Chu Ning to go with her quickly, but Chu Ning also left neatly.
If Empress Yao wants to get the jade seal, she has to spare Chu Ning's life.
She imprisoned Chu Ning in the violent room, just because she wanted Chu Ning to suffer a lot of flesh and skin, and took the initiative to hand over the jade seal.
In her previous life, as a princess of the dead country, she was displaced for half her life, and was humiliated in order to ask for help, and was forced to enter the cage of the enemy country.
Later, she ruled the world and never forgot the humiliation of the past.
It was these humiliations that reminded her of how important it was to one day be in real power.
Chu Ning thought all the way, and was soon locked up in the dark room by Jingqin.
Jingqin ordered someone to tie Chu Ning to the shelf, and stepped forward to pick up the hair hanging from her ears with her own hands.
Her movements were gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting Chu Ning.
"Your Highness's skin and flesh are delicate, and it looks like white porcelain, crystal clear and fragile."
Jingqin smiled gently: "I just don't know if there is a rift, it will never heal." ”
As he spoke, the eunuch in charge of the execution in the riot room came out of the shadows.
Jingqin tried to find a look of fear on Chu Ning's face, but Chu Ning's face did not change and looked at her coldly.
"Third princess, people in the palace say that the violent room will eat people."
Chu Ning was still indifferent, "If this palace is eaten, the next one to eat will be my aunt." ”
She knows better than anyone else that the only thing that can eat people is power.
Now, more than ever, she longs for real power, so much that her bones ache.
