Chapter 12 Punishment and Non-punishment

Wei Yu was holding a flower branch in her hand, and there were already some petals scattered on the ground, and she was still ravaging the flower branch in her hand with a sad face.

Peiyu and Liuzhu looked at each other, and they were thinking in their hearts when this little ancestor would be unbearable.

Who knew that at this time, Wei Yu angrily threw the flower branch aside, then turned his head and asked Peiyu: "Sister Peiyu, how long do I have to wait, it's been an hour, isn't the imperial sister entertaining me?" Wake me up early in the morning, and stand here all the time waiting, I haven't had breakfast yet! ”

Peiyu calmly replied: "The princess is angry! Last night, the Lord Commander brought back two assassins, who had committed suicide less than half an hour after being imprisoned, and His Majesty had not slept well all night, and now he was angry. ”

Wei Yu suddenly realized this, and looked up at the closed door. She heard what seemed to be a slight voice, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the imperial sister talking to?" ”

Pei Yu replied: "It should be the Lord Commander, and they are discussing things in the study." ”

Wei Yu nodded, and continued to stand and wait resignedly.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the door to open.

Wei Yu knew that he couldn't hide, took a deep breath, stepped into the door, and saw Wei Ning pondering in front of the table. She pretended to be calm and asked with a smile: "Imperial Sister, I was scared yesterday, have the identities of those assassins been clarified?" ”

Wei Ning had already understood her mind and knew that she was changing the subject, but he still replied to her: "I didn't find out what was on my body, Ah Zhao found the body of the fleeing assassin on the outskirts of the city, it seems that he had taken some poison." Other than that, I didn't get anything useful. ”

Saying that, Wei Ning looked at her posture and demeanor, and said approvingly: "It seems that Aunt Qionghua's discipline, you still listened to it." It's a big improvement compared to before. ”

Hearing Wei Ning's praise, Wei Yu was proud. "Of course, as long as this princess learns by heart, there is nothing I can't learn."

Wei Ning smiled slightly: "Come with me to breakfast." She knew that her sister had always slept until three o'clock in the morning, so she ordered Wei Yu to wake up before the morning came, and made Wei Yu wait for an hour and a half, thinking that she should be hungry.

Wei Yu touched his stomach and thought: It's okay not to say it, but I really feel hungry when I say it's breakfast. So he followed Wei Ning.

On the dinner table, the meals are neatly arranged one by one. Wei Yan was taken aback when he saw the dishes, "Sister Huang, are you going to eat these?" ”

"What's wrong?" Wei Ning looked at the dishes on the table and didn't think there was anything wrong.

She exclaimed, "This is too light! "Don't blame Wei Yu for being surprised, there are only four dishes and one soup on the table, three plates are vegetarian dishes, and only one plate of meat.

Wei Yu sat down and took a sip of soup and asked Peiyu, "Does the imperial sister usually eat these?" ”

Peiyu hesitated and shook her head.

Wei Yu was surprised, and put a piece of meat in his mouth. said vaguely: "I knew that it must be the imperial sister who entertained me, and I would definitely not eat it so simple in normal times." ”

Peiyu: "Your Majesty's usual breakfast is two dishes and one soup, but today because the princess came, two more dishes were added." ”

Wei Yu almost choked on her throat, and Liuzhu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly brought her a cup of tea. She took a drink in one gulp to recover, and she looked incredible: "Sister Huang, as the king of a country, you can choose from the delicacies of the mountains and seas, how can you eat so easily?" It's not as good as the food in my palace. ”

Wei Ning didn't make any waves, just sat down opposite her and ate slowly.

As soon as Wei Yu rolled his eyes, he saw Liu Xi walking in from outside, and after saluting, he pinched his throat and reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City West Gate Zhonglang will ask Lin Jing to see him." ”

Wei Ning stretched out her hand, Liuzhu hurriedly handed over the face towel in her hand, she took it and wiped her mouth elegantly, and then said, "I know, let him go to the study and wait." ”

After Liu Xi went down, she looked at Wei Yu and said, "Jiahui, the imperial sister won't accompany you if she has something, tell Manager Liu if you have any dishes you want to eat, and he will prepare them for you." As for the punishment of you sneaking out of the palace yesterday, I have already told Aunt Qionghua, and she will tell you when you see her. In addition, I have assigned twenty secret guards to protect you, and this matter is not negotiable. ”

Peiyu and Liuzhu both secretly looked at their princess with a sympathetic look, it was really pitiful.

Lin Jing was standing at the place where the avant-garde stood for two quarters of an hour at the moment, and the movement of the palace maid was very fast, and at this time there were no scattered petals on the ground.

He stood at the door of the study in a nervous mood, full of mixed tastes. Thinking of him, Lin was shocked, from a humble background, just a child of a poor family. His mother died early, and he followed his father to run darts around since he was a child, and he practiced martial arts. Since the decline of his family's dart game, he has no use for his skills, so he wants to serve the country in the army.

That year, His Majesty ascended the throne and pioneered the martial arts, he was full of joy and was admitted to Shengjing step by step, but at the last step he was framed and lost his qualification for the examination. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave Shengjing and return to his hometown, someone suddenly found him, and since then he has lived a life without seeing the light of day for two years.

Now that he has been a Zhonglang general for a year, he is very grateful to that person for his support back then, but he has never seen his benefactor. I glanced at it last night, but I only saw a slender back. Now his face is not visible, but his heart is very excited.

He didn't know how long he stood before he saw a person walking towards him, dressed in a turquoise emerald smoke skirt, with an elegant posture, and the golden hairpin in his hair refracted in the sun. He quickly bowed his head and knelt down, and when the man slowly approached, he felt a gaze fall on him, red embroidered shoes appeared in his sight, and then a green skirt embroidered with silver thread.

Wei Ning sat in front of the desk and opened a notebook, Liuzhu stood at the door of the study, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and said crisply: "General Zhonglang, Your Majesty allows you to go in." ”

Lin walked in with his head bowed and knelt on the ground, the door behind him slowly closing.

"Humble Lin is shocked to see Your Majesty!"

Wei Ning: "Get up, what do you have to do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, when Lord Shoufu left the palace early today, he said that he would let the humble post transfer a thing to His Majesty for him." Lin Jing stood up and took out an envelope from his arms.

Wei Ning put down the fold in his hand, and his eyes showed a little curiosity. Peiyu next to him took the envelope from Lin Jing's hand and presented it to Wei Ning.

Wei Ning took the letter in his hand, only glanced at the envelope and put it aside, as if he was not ready to open it. She asked, "There should be more than one thing for Zhonglang to come, right?" ”

Lin Jing's face changed, and he suddenly knelt on the ground: "Back to Your Majesty, last night the Ximen Forbidden Army did not recognize Your Majesty's dragon face, and offended Tianwei, today I am here to ask Your Majesty to punish you!" As he spoke, he took out the gold medal that Wei Ning threw last night.

Listening to Wei Ning pondering for a long time, he then said: "The Ximen Forbidden Army each received twenty boards, which can be regarded as a long memory. ”

Lin Jing: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Ning: "Anything else?" ”

Lin Jing's body paused, and he raised his head slowly, for the first time since he entered the study, he looked directly at the woman in front of him. Her crystal clear pupils can clearly see the bottom at a glance, but there are things in them that others can't touch. "I don't know if Your Majesty can recognize the humble position?"

Wei Ning looked at him with a smile: "How do you know?" What if you don't know? ”

Lin Jing chuckled, a kind of satisfaction on his bronzed face, he lowered his head and slammed it on the ground. He kept that action and said, "No matter what, Lin is grateful to His Majesty for three years. Grace is heavy and his life is light, so he feels forgotten. ”

Wei Ning walked up to him and pulled him up, then said with a smile: "You are wrong, if you want to repay the favor, you have to find another person." If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be where you are today. ”

Lin Jing didn't dare to really let her pull, so he stood up and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how can you say this?" ”

Wei Ning slowly told the truth: "At that time, I secretly investigated the fraud in the examination room and found a list of substitutes for the martial arts test, and Ah Zhao said that he watched your competition and thought you were very talented. I'll throw you to the Dark Guard Training Camp. ”

Lin Jing looked incredulous. "In this way, it was because he was replaced, so he was notified by the examiner to lose his qualification for the exam..."

"There were a lot of candidates who were replaced that year, and then Ah Zhao secretly took you to the training camp one by one. The first thing you have to thank is Zhao. But today, unfortunately, he went out on errands. ”

Lin Jing: "What Your Majesty said is, but if it weren't for Your Majesty's approval, how would Lin Jing be able to enter the training camp, so Commander Zhao and Your Majesty have great favors to Lin Jing." ”

"The slaves don't understand, why does Your Majesty punish them?" Peiyu put the soaked dragon well on the table, and couldn't help but ask Wei Ning curiously.

Peiyu has served Wei Ning since she was a child, and she knows this person's temperament best, if she hadn't made any big mistakes, Wei Ning would not have punished people easily. Although she didn't follow last night, she also learned something from the mouth of the palace maid and eunuch, and knew that the forbidden army didn't recognize it when His Majesty returned to the palace, so she stopped it.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, there were too many people in this huge palace who hadn't seen the true face of the Son of Heaven. But today, Lin Jing came to ask for guilt, it was originally a formality, but he didn't expect Wei Ning to really punish him. It's still 20 boards, and everyone knows that this board will definitely be open after the meat is opened.

Wei Ning took a sip of tea and asked Peiyu, "What do you think of me?" ”

Peiyu: "The slaves are stupid, I just think Your Majesty shouldn't punish the forbidden army for not knowing you." ”

Wei Ning smiled: "That's natural, I haven't seen much of me in the world, do I still have to punish them for playing the board?" ”

Peiyu was even more curious: "What's that?" ”

Wei Ning glanced at Liuzhu, who had lowered his head on the other side, but his ears had already stood up, and smiled bitterly at the two of them. "I was assassinated last night, and everyone knows about it today, and even this fold is a greeting to me."

Peiyu and Liuzhu were puzzled: "What does this have to do with playing the board?" ”

"This has a lot to do with it..."Wei Ning knocked Peiyu on the head. On the other hand, if you let them go, they will feel that I am really a woman, weak and deceitful, and they will not think that I am kind-hearted. Not only the Ximen Forbidden Army, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid most people in the world will think so. The forbidden army has less reverence for guarding the palace, and as time passes, it will become more and more slack. At that time, the defense of the palace will be a mess, and it can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no way to fight back. ”

"If I punish them, the Ximen Forbidden Army will only guard the palace more seriously, and will not dare to make a mistake. When this matter gets out, the defense of the entire palace will be tighter, because all the forbidden troops don't want to be beaten. Do you understand this? ”

Peiyu and Liuzhu suddenly realized. Peiyu said: "Your Majesty, you are really far-sighted, the slaves and maids didn't expect that there would be so much knowledge in this beating." ”

Wei Ning smiled: "It's a shame that you two have followed me for so long, why haven't you learned a little?" ”

Liuzhu couldn't help but complain: "How can the slaves and maids be as smart as Your Majesty. ”

All three people in the room burst into laughter.
