Chapter 406: Accept the Punishment
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Li Qiuchi's eyes, she didn't expect that at this time, the emperor would still ask for the guilt, but she reacted quickly, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, if she can use her punishment in exchange for the emperor's anger to calm down, it is good to think about it.
"I know that I have made a heinous mistake this time, and I must not be easily forgiven." Li Qiuchi raised his eyes, and the look in his eyes was also very helpless and lost.
The emperor saw her so sincerely, and his eyes were also more surprised, now, he already knew the cause and effect, but there was still a faint anger in his heart, this child was so ridiculous, he took the princess away, and if he didn't punish her, it was really difficult to calm the displeasure in his heart.
Raising his chin, the emperor sneered, stared at Li Qiuchi opposite, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, you should meditate on yourself, and during this time, you are not allowed to go out." ”
If it weren't for the fact that she was also for Princess Conghui, he would definitely not let her go so easily.
"Father." Chu Jinrong knew that this punishment was equivalent to confinement, Li Qiuchi was active by nature, and if she was locked up, it would definitely be very painful.
The emperor's face was displeased, he had already lost his hair lightly, what else did he want him to do?
"Forget it." Shaking her head, Li Qiuchi's expression was very helpless, she sighed, and shook her head at Chu Jinrong, the punishment given to her by the emperor was not too heavy, and she couldn't get an inch, and besides, she also made mistakes first, and it was reasonable to accept the punishment.
Seeing that she was still obedient, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and left in stride.
Many guards surrounded her, as if to escort Li Qiuchi back, her expression was indifferent, and there was no look of fear, she just clenched her fingers, a glint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and then walked back to her tent.
Chu Jinrong stared at Li Qiuchi's back, and he was really worried in his heart, afraid that Li Qiuchi would be wronged.
At this time, the emperor also returned to his tent, he took the envelope in his hand, sighed unconsciously, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his expression was very helpless.
I don't know why, looking at Princess Conghui's letter, he actually has a feeling of fear, and he doesn't know what she said in the letter.
Lowering his head, the emperor's brows furrowed tightly, and then he trembled his hands and opened the letter.
Probably, she will make it clear how much pain she has suffered in the palace, so she will leave like this.
A touch of pain flashed in the emperor's eyes, he already knew about this matter, but every time he thought of what Princess Cong Hui had experienced, he felt very uncomfortable, and felt that he was sorry for this child.
With a sigh, the Emperor continued.
"Father, see the words like faces, the daughter is not filial, for many years, there has been no good filial piety to the father, sharing the family, now, the daughter decided to leave, it is the crime of bullying the king, however, the daughter still does not regret, the only sadness is that I can't say goodbye to my father, from now on, the sky is high and the water is long, and I hope that my father will take care."
The emperor could see that after this letter was written, Princess Cong Hui's emotions were really very excited, she couldn't even hold the pen, and she felt a little trembling.
Seeing this, the emperor sighed, his expression was really very embarrassed, and then he smiled bitterly, originally thought that Cong Hui would complain, but he didn't expect that she didn't mention a word.
The emperor felt a sour feeling in his heart, and then he sighed, covered his chest with one hand, his expression was a little painful, and then, he frowned with difficulty, and felt that his face had changed a lot.
Quickly lowering his head, he carefully put the letter in his arms, as if in this way, he could feel the existence of Princess Cong Hui.
At this time, the emperor suddenly remembered the situation of Princess Cong Hui, and couldn't help but worry about her, this child couldn't speak, and he didn't know if he would be wronged outside.
At this time, Xiao Anzi saw that it was late at night, and planned to wait for the emperor to go to bed, he walked over slowly, for some reason, seeing the emperor's tired look, there seemed to be more vicissitudes in his eyebrows, and suddenly, Xiao Anzi was stunned, you know, the emperor usually does not show such an expression, what's wrong with him?
A suspicious look flashed in his eyes, Xiao Anzi walked to the emperor's side, lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" ”
When the emperor heard his voice, he slowly came back to his senses, then raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know what is Cong Hui's popularity in the palace?" ”
The emperor is so dignified, how can he think of asking Princess Conghui, Xiao Anzi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer the emperor's question for a while, he blinked his eyes, and there was a suspicious look in his expression, however, he thought about it, this kind of thing must not be able to tell the truth, after all, the emperor knew that his daughter was bullied, and it must be uncomfortable.
"That's it." Xiao Anzi scratched his head, planning to play haha, he smiled, and then said: "Princess Gui Hui is also a golden branch and jade leaf, she must be very popular, think about it, everyone will take care of her more." ”
How is it possible, if that's really the case, why did Cong Hui desperately want to leave?
The emperor's expression was much colder, and he stared directly at Xiao Anzi opposite, raised his chin, and his expression was very displeased: "Xiao Anzi, do you know how the crime of bullying the king is?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Anzi was really frightened, his eyes were full of horror, and then he knelt down for the emperor: "Your Majesty, the slave is wrong, in fact, the slave is just afraid to tell you these things and make you uncomfortable." ”
This bastard thing, even if he doesn't say anything, won't he feel bad? What the hell do you think?
The emperor sneered and raised his chin slightly: "That's it, if you directly tell everything you know, I will definitely not punish you." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Anzi took a deep breath to calm his mood, and then he told everything he saw and heard.
Over the years, he has said all the things about how the people in the palace have slandered Princess Cong Hui in their actions and words.
When the emperor heard this, he felt that his palms were trembling slightly, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his expression was very painful, he never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
"Why did you never report to me?" The emperor asked bitterly, if he knew it as soon as possible, Cong Hui would not have left.
