Chapter 12: Punishment for Kneeling (2)

I have been kneeling here for more than an hour, the sky is gray, the twilight is four, and I can only see the eunuchs who are lighting up in the distance, and the silence around is only the sound of the wind. My legs were numb and unconscious.

When Fang Cai and Gu Yu were about to secretly invite the queen, they were stopped by Concubine Zheng Guifei and called them to Guanju Palace. It's said that I, the master, don't understand the rules, it's all because they don't know how to mention it as a slave, so I have to teach it well. I was worried about their safety, but now that I can't protect myself, how can I save them!

I only hope that Concubine Zheng thinks that they are just slaves, so it's better not to worry about them!

The resident bird perched on the tree suddenly flew up, crossed the sky of the Yeting Palace, and flew away outside the palace. The rustling of footsteps approached, but there was no light, and a man came alone, standing in front of me, and in the dark night, out of nowhere, sighed: "Why are you so troubled?"

I looked up indifferently, the night was lonely, the tall ginkgo trees on both sides cast shadows, his face looked obscure, I couldn't see who it was, but the voice I remembered, although it was a little pity, it was still gentle and clear.

"Is the prince here to see the joke?" I asked softly in a hoarse voice.

He didn't say anything for a while, and there was another rustle, and he was gone.

I don't know how long it took, the ginkgo garden was illuminated by the lights as bright as day, on the bright yellow dragon, the ninety-five statue sat upright like a sculpture, and his face was condensed. The fifteenth king stood behind him, and next to him, there was General Ziling, and on another phoenix, sat the queen.

"What do you say? Good manner, why is Sister Ji kneeling here?" The queen asked first, her voice full of anxiety.

A faint smile appeared on my lips, even if Concubine Zheng Guifei's hands and eyes were all over the sky, she would not let people tell the queen that I was punished for kneeling here. The queen is also the master of the harem, can this news really reach her ears?

The emperor got off the dragon chariot, walked up to me, and said, "Don't kneel, get up!"

I didn't want to talk to him, but I still replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine doesn't want to get up, it's just that the concubine Niangniang said that without her message, the concubine can't get up." ”

The atmosphere around him suddenly became depressed, and he said lightly: "What does Concubine Ai mean, is my words useless?"

The concubine had no such intention, "I have completely lost my heart to him, and all kinds of flattery in the past now seem to be ridiculous, even if there is a purpose, I can't forget the box of Jiuhe incense at once!"

The queen also came over and persuaded softly: "Sister Ji, the emperor doesn't interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, then this palace is the master of the harem, and the palace will let you get up, you should always get up, right?"

I smiled at the queen and said, "Niangniang, the concubine doesn't want to embarrass you, why do you want to have another disagreement between the concubine and the concubine?"

"You ......," the queen took a deep breath, as if she was helpless, and sighed, "Why are you so stubborn? ”

I lowered my eyelids and said, "This incident was originally caused by the concubine offending the concubine, and the concubine punished the concubine, and the concubine was willing to be punished." It's just that the two palace maids around the concubine are innocent, and I hope that the emperor can move the concubine and raise her noble hand. ”

The queen hurriedly said: "What? The maidservant girl next to you is in the palace of the concubine? No wonder this palace doesn't know that you are kneeling here, if it weren't for the fifteenth emperor brother who came to mention it, this palace really doesn't know when it will be hidden! Your Majesty, look ......?"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You go and let the concubine go." ”

"Yes. ”

The emperor and queen came to the ginkgo garden together, how could Zheng Guifei not get the news? At this time, she had already rushed over, and she happened to meet the people sent by the queen, so she came to the ginkgo garden together.

"It alarmed the emperor and queen, but it was really the concubine. As soon as Concubine Zheng came, she was in a hurry to plead guilty.

The emperor was expressionless and didn't say a word, the queen looked at her and said: "Sister Guifei is also too petty, Sister Ji has done something rebellious, you have to make her kneel here, and she has been kneeling for so long!"

The concubine glanced at me, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, since the queen mother has spoken, how dare the concubine punish Sister Ji?

The spring equinox and Gu Yu had already supported me left and right, and when they heard it, they hurriedly supported my body and helped me up. I was weak under my feet, and I had to rely on them for the weight on my body.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly.

Gu Yu bit her lip to prevent the cry from overflowing, and the spring equinox said in a low voice: "We're fine, she didn't embarrass us." ”

The queen immediately ordered someone to carry my chariot, and when I sat on it, she ordered: "Go back quickly! This palace has ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and after kneeling for so long, don't fall into the root of the disease!" and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Sister Ji is really pitiful like this, why don't you go to Chengming Hall to accompany your sister tonight?"

The emperor said: "You all go back separately, I and Ziling still have something to discuss." If it weren't for you and the fifteenth emperor brother, I wouldn't have come here for such a trivial matter. With that, he turned around and got on the dragon chariot.

Queen Nuo Nuo answered, the concubine sneered, and each returned to the palace, and the farce of the ginkgo garden came to an end.

Shen Qi quickly came to see my injury, let me have the best rest in the past few days, and prescribed another prescription. He showed it to me, and I listened to Liu Youyu say that when I was not there, he wanted to go out to find me, but he was opened by the people of Guan Ju Palace, and the rest of the people were always stumped by things. Anyway, no one could help me in those hours.

If it hadn't been for the fifteen kings passing by, perhaps I would have been on my knees all night.

"The concubine didn't let us do anything, just listened to the aunt in charge of Guan Ju Palace, who knows...... This training has been training for so long. The spring equinox smiled bitterly.

"Imperial Doctor Shen, you can show them too. I commanded.

The spring equinox wanted to excuse herself, but Shen Qi had already put the handkerchief on her wrist.

After a while, Yao Huang, who was beside the queen, sent medicinal herbs over, and said that I would go to ask for peace when I was ready, and I would be exempted from morning and dusk in the next few days.

I thanked the queen for her grace, Yao Huang comforted me a few more words, and secretly counted down the concubine's no, and then left.

I don't want to be used as a gun by them, and I don't want to be bullied by the concubine like this!

I know that maybe I will be coquettish to the emperor like in my previous life, say a few soft words, and drop a few tears pitifully, and he will be able to agree to all my requests. However, there are some things that I know that I know, and I can't pretend that they didn't happen. So, I can't forget it so quickly! and then wagging my tail at him and begging for mercy!

Therefore, I don't want to pay attention to him except for the necessary reply!

He seemed to know how I felt about him, and he hadn't been here once in the past few days of recuperation.
