Chapter 552: Cold Palace
Xiao Yuan admitted the dereliction of duty lightly, and also took the punishment of retreat as advance, and handed over the regent seal.
Fang Yuan's heavy punch was easily defused by her, and she was also extremely angry, staring coldly at her back and asking, "The dereliction of duty of the Independent Accounting Group is not just to survey the granary of the military field. The local government brought blank account books to reconcile, and you also stamped to confirm that this is a collective fake account! ”
Xiao Yuanshi knew that he was tired of making accounts with empty seals, but he couldn't admit it, colluding with local officials to make fake accounts was still internal and external collusion, and Fang Yuan would never tolerate it.
She looked up at Fang Yuan and said, "Childe, for one or two hundred years, the household department and the government have all done this, but it is just a customary rule. Childe imposed this crime of making false accounts on me, this is the crime of wanting to add, there is no excuse! ”
"Smack!"
Fang Yuan was furious, and a slap hit her on the face, causing her to fall to the ground, half of her face was swollen, and she got up and scolded angrily, "Mrs. Yuan, so far, you still don't know the crime?!" Still quibbling! ”
Xiao Yuan covered his cheeks, which were hot and painful by him, and looked at the angry Fang Yuan in a daze, it had been seven years, this was the first time Fang Yuan had hit her, and tears couldn't help but run down his cheeks, "Okay, Gongzi had already convicted me before he came, so let's announce it directly!" I confess all the sins! ”
Fang Yuan saw that she was still stubbornly confessing, and he was furious, and slapped her again, causing her other cheek to swell, and she couldn't stop scolding angrily, "Stubborn, incorrigible!" ”
The princess saw that the two of them were making a fuss to the point of doing something, and she, as the master of the backyard, couldn't just watch and pretend not to see it. She really hated Xiao Yuan to the bone before, but now Xiao Yuan's loss of power is inevitable, and there is no longer any threat to her.
If this kind of backyard dispute ends in a bloody case, it will be detrimental to her reputation as a regent princess and to the management of the backyard. What's more, Xiao Yuan is Fang He and Fang Lin's mother after all, and if Xiao Yuan is scolded too much, the more estranged Fang Yuan, Fang He, and Fang Lin's father and son will be.
If Chen Yuanyuan gives Fang Yuan no heirs, and Fang Yuan has no other heirs, how should it end in the future?
After weighing the pros and cons, the princess still decided to dissuade Fang Yuan, who was in a rage, and got up to stop him, don't punish Xiao Yuan again, "Don't be a concubine, Mrs. Yuan is an old man after all, and she still has merit, so this time she will be lightly dismissed!" ”
Fang Yuan looked at the princess in amazement, Xiao Yuan had put her to death again and again, but she suddenly opened her mouth to intercede for Xiao Yuan, which was really unexpected, "Princess, are you still interceding for her?!" ”
The princess said leisurely, "Concubine, even if Mrs. Yuan has made mistakes, isn't it that the concubine was too arrogant and spoiled by her before?" ”
Fang Yuan was hit by her and asked in amazement, "Is this still my fault?!" ”
The princess said unhurriedly, "Does the concubine know about Xu Hua's case?" Why did you only punish Qin Zhan and Xu Hua, but let Mrs. Yuan go, is this considered arrogance?! ”
"As soon as I entered the mansion, Mrs. Yuan began to frame me, what dragon robes, anti-poems, tried to drive me out of the mansion again and again, and even bought murderers to kill people in Jinshan Temple. Do you know? Why did you pretend to ignore it, or didn't pursue Mrs. Yuan, is this considered arrogant?! ”
"The horse obviously knows that the power of the Independent Accounting Group is too great, and the Governor's Seal and the Regent's Seal can even exercise the power of military administration on their behalf, but they all hand it over to Mrs. Yuan, is this considered arrogant?!"
"Obviously I am the mistress of the backyard, but Mrs. Yuan dares to provoke all the time, and the colt doesn't punish her, is this considered arrogant?!"
The princess listed Fang Yuan's connivance with Xiao Yuan over the years, and she was also pouring out and venting the grievances accumulated in her heart over the years, and sighed and said, "If it weren't for the unprincipled favor of the concubine, Mrs. Yuan would have today's unruly, unruly, unruly, and daring?!" Mrs. Yuan should indeed be punished, and the colt should be punished even more! ”
Fang Yuan was speechless when he heard this, and sat back with a solemn expression. What the princess said was true, what could he say to refute it, the princess counted his mistakes one by one, which was to vent her dissatisfaction with his past.
In this farce of the harem dispute, it is true that Xiao Yuan is the villain, but Fang Yuan, who is the male protagonist, is also a 'scumbag', and his mistakes cannot be forgiven.
Fang Yuan said dejectedly, "Jiao'er, yes, I did make mistakes, and I will never interfere in the affairs of the backyard in the future." Including the regent seal, the independent accounting team, it's all up to you! ”
Seeing that he personally admitted that he had made a mistake, the princess also put all the power of the inner court into her own hands, so that Xiao Yuan could no longer afford any storms, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Okay, since the concubine is relieved, I will exercise the power of the lord of the backyard." ”
Her gaze fell on Xiao Yuan, and she looked at Xiao Yuan's gaze, and from Xiao Yuan's eyes, she didn't see anger, nor did she see submission, but more indignation. Xiao Yuan lost like this, and he was still unwilling.
The princess smiled coldly and said slowly, "Mrs. Yuan, what you committed this time is a heinous crime, if you are my father, I will definitely send you to the prince and father-in-law, and you will be punished according to the palace rules. But the colt clearly pampered you and indulged you, and you added two more heirs to the colt. If I deliver you over to the princes, it will be an unfair reward and punishment to you. ”
"So be it! When you go to the cold palace to meditate on yourself, you can only bring two maids, and no one can usually visit you. I grant you the opportunity to bring Fang He and Fang Lin to visit you twice a month. ”
According to Fang Yuan's estimate, it was also expected that the princess would directly give Xiaoyuan wine and three-foot white silk. He still couldn't bear to give Xiao Yuan death in his heart, and wanted to give her a chance to reform herself.
The princess is obviously very broad-minded, and she did not care about Xiao Yuan's ruthlessness in the past, but treated her leniently, and just beat Xiao Yuan into the cold palace. He also promised to bring two maids, and Fang He and Fang Lin could come to visit twice a month. This kind of punishment is very lenient for the losers of the harem battle.
Fang Yuan was grateful to the princess, and looked at Xiao Yuan who was prostrate on the ground, "Mrs. Yuan, do you admit punishment?!" ”
Xiao Yuan completely lost to the princess this time, she was both angry and hateful, but she was still unwilling, and her eyes were fixed on the last chance to turn defeat into victory, which was her sons Fang He and Fang Lin. Now that the people are strong, Fang Yuan and the princess are clearly standing on the same line, and it is very unwise to forcibly contradict them. If you anger Fang Yuan and the princess, I am afraid that you will directly send wine and three-foot white silk.
She can only choose to endure the anger of the moment, first keep her useful body and go to the cold palace to stay, silently waiting for the day when the mountain will rise again.
Xiao Yuan wiped away her tears, lowered her gaze and said, "Yes, son, princess, I admit the punishment, I will go to the cold palace to meditate on myself!" I have only one request, to make Qiu Lin my maid alone. ”
The matter has come to this, Fang Yuan has no need to embarrass her anymore, since she and Qiu Lin are good, then send Qiu Lin, who committed the crime together, to accompany her.
Fang Yuan and the princess went out of Xiaoyuan's courtyard, and immediately recruited Wang Chengen, ordering Wang Chengen to drive away all the maids in the courtyard, and changed this courtyard into a cold palace, leaving only Qiu Lin as a maid in Xiaoyuan. Then two little eunuchs and four brocade guards were sent to strictly guard the courtyard.
Every day, it is still provided according to the full amount of the previous lady's level, but without the consent of the princess herself, Xiao Yuan is not allowed to step out of the cold palace, and no one is allowed to enter the cold palace to visit.
At this point, the battle for the harem in Fang Yuan's backyard, which lasted for five years, finally ended with the princess winning a big victory and Xiao Yuan completely losing everything, and it came to an end.
