Chapter 9: Punishment

Yan'er said: "My mother knows that Lin Baolin and the queen mother have a deep sisterhood, and I am afraid that it will not be handled properly, so I want to invite the queen mother to go in person." ”

Hearing her say this, Bu Wanwan's eyes sank.

Lin Baolin was injured like this, she was curious about what tricks Concubine Wu could come up with to punish Lin Baolin.

"In that case, this palace will go with you."

Buwanwan raised her hand, Qinghua went to help her, Qinghua frowned slightly, she didn't want Buwanwan to participate in these things, but Buwanwan wanted to go, and she couldn't stop her.

"Thank you, Queen." Yan'er saluted.

Buwanwan went to the Purple Fragrance Pavilion, and when she reached the door, she heard a cry, and she recognized this voice as Lin Baolin and Lianyu.

Before stepping in, she saw Lin Baolin lying on the bench, her eyes turned to Liu Cairen, she was kneeling with Lianyu, their faces were also red and swollen, there were four or five eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard, Wu Concubine sat in the courtyard, and glanced at Lin Baolin in a condescending posture.

Concubine Wu looked at Buwanwan, got up unhurriedly, and bent down to salute, "The concubine sees the queen's mother." ”

Concubine Wu was arrogant, lazy, and had no respect on her face.

Bu Wanwan ignored her arrogance, only looked at Lin Baolin and Liu Cairen, and asked her: "I don't know what mistake Lin Baolin and Liu Cairen made, let Concubine Wu punish like this?" ”

Lin Baolin was beaten like that, and even asked someone to carry him to the courtyard to ask for guilt.

As for Liu Cairen, I'm afraid it's just because of talking too much with her.

Bu Wanwan looked at Concubine Wu quietly, waiting for her to speak.

Concubine Wu got up and looked around, and then said: "The concubine heard that a few cheap maids ran to the queen mother and raised the concubine, and the concubine admitted that she was not at fault since she managed the harem, and she was framed for no reason, and she was resentful in her heart, so she wanted to ask the queen mother to judge justice." ”

Concubine Wu first beat her words, and then walked up to Lin Baolin, and said coldly: "Lin Baolin spread rumors that the concubine withheld her reward and the charcoal of the Zixiang Pavilion, and the concubine specially invited Xiao Xingzi of the Internal Affairs Bureau to compare the accounts, and it was clearly remembered that the rewards and charcoal of the Zixiang Pavilion were all received by them, but it was Lin Baolin who asked Lianyu to steal the silver charcoal privately. ”

Lianyu hurriedly explained: "The slaves and maids did not receive anything from the Internal Affairs Bureau, as for the silver charcoal, it was the slaves and maids who were afraid that the master would not survive the winter, so they made a decision-ah-"

Before Lianyu finished speaking, Yan'er rushed up and slapped her hard, "Bold, the master didn't call you back, you cheap woman dare to interject?" ”

Yan'er's fierce appearance was even a little shocked.

The last time she had seen such a presumptuous person was when her father beat Concubine Hua.

Lianyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to answer anymore, so she covered her face and sobbed in a low voice.

Lin Baolin secretly hated in his heart, and endured this humiliation.

Concubine Wu glanced at Yan'er with satisfaction, and then continued: "As for this Liu Cairen......

Wu Concubine deliberately lengthened her voice, and only glanced at Liu Cairen, who immediately slapped her mouth fiercely, and shouted while pumping: "The concubine should die, the concubine framed Wu Concubine Niangniang for no reason, and the following offenses are committed, I hope that the queen and Wu Concubine Niangniang will forgive the concubine." ”

"That's enough." Buwanwan lowered her voice and stopped Liu Cairen.

Today she can be regarded as seeing, what is called black and white reversed.

Wu Concubine said again: "If the queen is suspicious, you can take the account to a pair, and you will know it." ”

Concubine Wu made a look, and Xiao Xingzi of the Internal Affairs Bureau immediately knelt up and presented the account book with both hands.

Buwanwan didn't need to open it, she already knew that it was clearly written and not bad, and Concubine Wu would never let her find out the slightest mistake.

Buwanwan sighed slowly and said, "No need, since the matter is already clear, Concubine Wu wants to come to the palace today, why?" ”

When Concubine Wu heard her say this, she clearly didn't want to pursue it, so she smiled and said: "The concubine knows that someone is playing right and wrong in front of the queen, and deliberately provokes the discord between the concubine and the queen, so naturally she doesn't dare to deal with it lightly, since the crime is complete, the concubine thinks that the Zixiang Pavilion should be severely punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, as for Liu Cairen......"

Wu Concubine squinted at Liu Cairen, and Liu Cairen stared at her tightly with her eyes open, hoping that she would be dealt with lightly.

Concubine Wu smiled at the corner of her lips before continuing: "Liu Cairen is telling right and wrong, but he has no major offense when he thinks of his first offense, so he can be punished lightly. ”

Bu Wanwan stared at Wu Concubine and asked, "Wu Concubine might as well say bluntly, what do you want to do with Lin Baolin?" ”

Concubine Wu smiled and said, "Then give Lin Baolin a death." ”

Lin Baolin listened, looked at Concubine Wu with wide eyes, and then turned his eyes to Bu Wanwan's face.

Lin Baolin lowered his eyes after a moment, biting his lip and sobbing softly.

What else did she have to hope for?

Bu Wanwan has already said that she will not pursue this matter, does she still expect Bu Wanwan to save her?

Concubine Wu is not easy to offend, Bu Wanwan saved her once, she is already grateful, except for full of resentment, she has no regrets.

In the next life, she will turn into a ghost, and she will not let go of Concubine Wu.

"Wait."

Buwanwan stopped the eunuch who was about to step forward to make a move, and suddenly everyone's eyes looked at her.

"What's the matter with the Queen?" Wu Concubine asked casually, but she didn't speak, she felt that she had won.

What if Buwanwan is the queen again?

Her father committed a catastrophe, and now he is just waiting for death, and he still expects the emperor to take pity on her twice to turn the tables?

On the other hand, her father is a loyal minister who assists the emperor to regain the throne, and the emperor treats her differently, even giving her the power to govern the six palaces, although she is a concubine, there is only one queen above who is older than her.

Buwanwan didn't dare to offend her.

"When you came to the Purple Fragrance Pavilion to deliver something, what kind of witnesses did you have?" Bu Wanwan looked at Xiao Xingzi.

Xiao Xingzi was stunned for a moment, and replied, "No one has seen it." ”

Buwanwan said again: "Since no one has seen it, how can you confirm that what you said is true?" ”

Concubine Wu suddenly turned her gaze to Bu Wanwan, and said with a strange atmosphere: "Queen Mother, there are accounts to rely on." ”

"There are accounts but no one has a certificate, who knows if this thing was really delivered to the Purple Fragrance Pavilion, and not privately detained by a minion?" Bu Wanwan raised her eyes and smiled, but Wu Concubine was speechless for a while.

Bu Wanwan said gently: "Since it can't be verified, Lin Baolin has also been punished, and this matter should be settled here." ”

Concubine Wu smiled lightly, her eyes looked at Bu Wanwan, she underestimated Bu Wanwan's courage.

Concubine Wu glanced at her and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, if this matter is just over it, I am afraid that some dog slaves will learn it in the future, then the harem will not be chaotic?" ”

"Then Lin Baolin will be fined three months' money, as for Liu Cairen's ......" Bu Wanwan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Cairen's red and swollen face, and said: "Liu Cairen has been taught a lesson today, and he will not do it again in the future, besides, Wu Concubine Fang Cai also said that she would let her go, according to the palace, this matter ends here." ”

Concubine Wu frowned and said: "This can't be done, the queen mother is too merciful, the emperor is afraid that he also knows that the queen mother is merciful, so he let the concubines help manage the harem, if Lin Baolin is easily let go, everyone in the harem will follow suit in the future, then it will be okay?" ”
