Chapter VI: Punishment
After a few breaths, there were two rows of maids standing in the courtyard, and the nurse was also brought up, as well as the cook in the kitchen, none of them were left behind. At this time, these people were waiting for the mistress to open her mouth to ask, the bolder ones all bowed their heads, and the less timid ones were already trembling and trembling.
Someone had already moved the seats, and at this time the emperor and the queen mother were sitting aside, and the prime minister was standing beside the lady with Jiuyao in her arms, and the prime minister's wife didn't say a word since these people came in, but her eyes scanned the group of people in the courtyard as if they had quenched ice. Just when there were already maids who couldn't resist the pressure and felt that they couldn't stand steadily, the lady finally spoke: "This princess thinks that she treats you well, never criticizes you too harshly, and the prime minister has never treated you badly." But today there is something that dares to assassinate Miss, who did it This princess gave her a chance, as long as she took the initiative to stand up and hand over the antidote to me, I would not be embarrassed for her family. Otherwise, all of you will be sent to the frontiers, used as military prostitutes, the men of the family will be exiled, and the women will be sold into slavery! This princess tells you that you have to think about whether you will suffer yourself or whether you will affect others or even your family......"
"Also, what good things have you done, do you really think that Princess Ben can't find out? Don't open your dog's eyes to see who I am! Do you know who you are moving today? This princess tells you that it is the lord of Changle, the biological daughter of my eldest princess of Daqi, and the niece of His Majesty the current emperor. Why do you think someone can keep you? Why do you think you can escape from under the nose of this princess? You'd better think clearly, if you don't confess your sins now, even if you can escape to the ends of the earth, do you think this princess must not be able to catch you? Even if you don't care about your family, do you want to wait for me to find out and be cut by a thousand cuts! ”
After the lady finished speaking, the courtyard returned to calm, and several maids secretly glanced at each other, trying to find out the real culprit so as not to be dragged down. After another moment, a girl who had been hanging her head and seemed very calm suddenly took a step forward and knelt down, crying: "Please also ask the princess to forgive me, I was confused for a while, the princess can punish me however she wants, but please let the princess open the net and let my family go......"
When the prime minister's wife saw the appearance of the maid, she couldn't help but be surprised, and her figure shook slightly, as if she had been hit by something.
"Jinqing, it's you! In vain I trusted you so much, and you did such a heart-wrenching thing! I never thought of it...... The one who wanted to kill my precious daughter was actually the bride maid I grew up with as a sister! Say, "Who is it that commands you, and what is your intention?" Where is the antidote, don't hand it over quickly! ”
"Princess, Jinqing is sorry for you, Jinqing doesn't want to! But Jinqing has no choice, they said that if you don't do this, you will kill my father and brother, and please ask the princess to spare my family for the sake of Jinqing serving you with all her heart and soul for so many years, the princess ...... "Jinqing knelt a few steps forward, grabbed the hem of the prime minister's wife, and cried bitterly while shaking.
"Okay, I can spare your family, but you have to tell me, where is Jing'er's antidote?!"
"Princess...... Princess, the slave really doesn't know, the man only gave me a bottle of medicine and asked me to feed it secretly to the little lord, otherwise he will kill my family...... Princess, the slave really doesn't know it's poison, princess ......"
"Someone came, the maid Jinqing poisoned the county lord, and her crime should be punished. Drag her down for me, and kill her with a cane! The prime minister's wife kicked Jinqing away, rubbed her eyebrows, and ordered ruthlessly.
"Yes!"
"Princess, it's Jinqing I'm sorry for you, princess...... In the next life, Jinqing will definitely be a cow and a horse to atone for the princess! The princess ......" Jinqing was dragged by the guards, crying and struggling until the crying faded away, and there was silence in the lily of the valley courtyard again......
"Xiangye, take pity on my Jing'er! She's so young to be tortured like this......"
"Jing'er, it's useless to be a mother, it's useless to be a mother, I haven't been able to protect you, my Jing'er...... How can my mother save you......" Because she couldn't get the antidote, the prime minister's wife became more and more desperate, and threw herself into Huan Xiang's arms and cried bitterly. But suddenly, the crying stopped abruptly, and Huan Xiang hurriedly saw that his wife had fainted.
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked, and they were in a mess, and they hurriedly put it in the room with Jiuyao.
Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Liang was always present, and after the diagnosis and treatment, he said: "The emperor, the queen mother and the prime minister don't have to worry too much, Madame is just a temporary fainting caused by excessive anxiety, but the body is a little weak, the old minister will prescribe a medicine, and recuperate well in the future." ”
"It's just that the most important thing at the moment is the condition of the little county lord, or it is important to find an antidote for the little county lord!"
As soon as Imperial Physician Liang's voice fell, the Queen Mother said: "Emperor, the Queen Mother begs you for your imperial sister, you must help Jing'er find the antidote, the mourning family is just this one daughter, how can she suffer this heartache!" When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, you can torture your sons." I'm just this one sister. And my poor niece, the queen mother and Huan Qing rest assured, I will do my best to find an antidote for the county lord, Huan Qing still take good care of the royal sister and the little county lord! ”
"Weichen, thank you for Your Majesty Longen!" Huan Xiang saluted.
"In that case, then I and the Queen Mother will go back to the palace first. Imperial Doctor Liang, I've been working hard for you to live in this prime minister's mansion for the past few days, take good care of the royal sister and the little county lord for me, if something goes wrong, be careful that I can't spare you! ”
"Yes. Wechen must do his best to heal the county lord. ”
"Alright, then I'll go back to the palace. Huan Qing doesn't have to send it. After speaking, he took a group of palace maids and eunuchs and the queen mother to leave.
After the emperor left, the Prime Minister arched his hand and said, "Imperial Doctor Liang, I really have to work hard for you." Please also ask the doctor to save Yao'er's life! The princess and I don't care what Yao'er can achieve in the future, it's just enough to let her grow up safely and be happy for a lifetime......" As he spoke, the dignified seven-foot man also had red eyes, and his handsome figure didn't look as handsome as before.
"Prime Minister, you don't have to be too sad, after all, now the princess and the county lord need your care, please take care of your health! As for the county lord's poison, although he is not talented, he is willing to do his best, and the rest depends on the county lord's creation......"
"Yes, that's what the Imperial Doctor said. Then let the maid prepare a room for you, and please stay in my prime minister's house for a few days. ”
"Since this is the case, and the sky is already dark, then the lower official will leave first."
"Good. Yueqing, let's take Imperial Doctor Liang to rest first. ”
"Yes, Xiangye."
