Chapter 24: Compassion
"Don't pretend there, you and the prince walked together when you left, and everyone saw it. If not, why do you want to go together? Ye Yuqing questioned Ye Yuhong.
When my sister said this, my sister had to say that my sister was stupid. If I really made an appointment with the prince's brother, then we shouldn't be together when we leave, wouldn't it be a self-confession? Ye Yuhong continued to refute herself, and then cried more and more.
Ye Yuqing was not to be outdone, crying a mess at that end, and the emperor was obviously a little anxious by this scene.
Ye Yuhong looked at the emperor's tangled expression, and estimated that the time was almost up, and it was time to perform her acting skills.
"Father," Ye Yuhong suddenly raised her voice, "My mother left early, and she doesn't have a mother's love like Sister Yuqing." Although the queen mother is also very kind to me, can you understand the feelings of a child who does not have his biological mother by his side?
It is precisely because of this that I have been careful in everything I have done since I was a child, for fear of annoying my brothers and sisters, the queen mother and even my father, and my daughter usually doesn't even dare to step on an ant to death, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly, how dare she do such a hurtful thing? I saw that the more Ye Yuhong spoke, the more excited she became, and suddenly she lay on the ground and fainted.
Of course, this faint is fake.
Ye Yuhong thought to herself, compared with my acting skills, you are far behind.
I've watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, isn't it just acting?
When the emperor saw Ye Yuhong fainting, he was naturally a little anxious. The queen and Ye Yuqing also panicked at this time, and the emperor hurriedly ordered the servants to pass on the imperial doctor.
As soon as the imperial doctor's message was issued, Shuang'er came in with the imperial doctor, which was also arranged by Ye Yuhong early in the morning.
As soon as Shuang'er came in, she didn't care about so many courtesies, so she hurriedly pounced on Ye Yuhong. If there are any film and television awards at this time, then Shuang'er must definitely be the best supporting actress, and the crying scene is no worse than Ye Yuhong. I didn't have to twist my thighs at all, and tears fell with tears in my eyes.
Frost cried and shouted, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Wake up! You're not completely cured yet, and you've been kneeling here for so long, your body will definitely not be able to bear it! ”
The imperial doctor came over and stuffed a pill into Ye Yuhong's mouth, and Ye Yuhong slowly opened her eyes very cooperatively.
At this time, Shuang'er hurriedly knelt down on her knees to greet the emperor and report what happened.
"Your Majesty, my princess was infected with a cold some time ago and has been in poor health. Originally, the imperial doctor had to go to check the princess's pulse every day, but today the imperial doctor arrived and couldn't wait for the princess to come back, so I was worried about the princess's body, so I took the imperial doctor to come over in advance. ”
The emperor nodded, and did not mean to reproach Shuang'er for being reckless. I just asked the imperial doctor with some doubts, "How can a wind cold make the princess's body so weak?" Are you giving the princess a good pulse? See if there are any other conditions. ”
This imperial doctor is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince ordered last time that once there is anything, the fifth princess must be maintained.
The imperial doctor hurriedly returned to the emperor, "The fifth princess has always been weak, but please rest assured, the fifth princess is indeed only because of the wind and cold this time, but Weichen didn't figure it out, the fifth princess had already seen a good look, and her condition suddenly worsened half a month ago, and the high fever did not go away for a few days. ”
The emperor questioned this statement even more, and asked Shuang'er, "How did you serve your princess?" The condition has improved, why does it suddenly worsen? ”
Shuang'er buried her head almost under her knees, "Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't dare to say it." ”
"Presumptuous! There is nothing to say here in the widowhood. The emperor scolded Shuang'er loudly.
Shuang'er glanced up at the queen, and the queen's face was already white at this time.
Shuang'er bit her lip and said, "Then the slave and maid will risk death to tell the truth, even if there is a crime of killing the head today, the slave and maid will ask for an explanation for the princess." ”
Then Shuang'er told the story of how the queen bullied Ye Yuhong half a month ago.
The more the emperor listened, the more ugly his face became, "Shuang'er, don't say it." Ye Yuhong pretended to interrupt Shuang'er.
Ignoring Ye Yuhong's obstruction, Shuang'er continued, "My princess is kind by nature, and even a slave dares to bully my princess. If you don't believe the emperor, you see. As she spoke, Shuang'er lifted Ye Yuhong's sleeves.
On Ye Yuhong's arm, the bruised finger prints were still left on it.
Ye Yuhong hurriedly pushed away Shuang'er, covered her arm with her sleeve and said, "Father, it was my daughter who accidentally touched it herself." ”
The emperor became even more angry when he saw it, and said to Shuang'er, "Go on, what's going on?" ”
Shuang'er said, "It was left behind by the two minions in the queen's palace who grabbed the princess too hard." ”
The emperor stood up and shouted at the queen, "Look at the good things you have done, you have always claimed to be fair, but have you done a bowl of water to your daughter and the widow's daughter?" Starting today, I will punish you to eat fasting and recite the Buddha, and you are not allowed to go out of your boudoir for half a step without the order of the widow. ”
Then the emperor glanced at Ye Yuqing again, and Ye Yuqing looked at the emperor aggrievedly. The emperor said, "Nian is young and ignorant, and you can't raise it, your father's fault, this time I have suffered a little more, I will spare you for the time being." Next time, if you have another conflict with your sister, I will not spare you. ”
After punishing their mother and daughter, the emperor ordered someone to help the five princesses back to Yuexi Pavilion.
Ye Yuhong and Shuang'er, who returned to the Moon Tide Pavilion, smiled and leaned back.
Ye Yuhong praised Shuang'er and said, "If there is really a master, there must be a servant, you performed very well today, I decided to add you an extra chicken leg for dinner." ”
"Princess Chitose." Shuang'er hugged Ye Yuhong excitedly.
Just when the two of them were proud, Ye Yuqing came.
Seeing that she was still embarrassed, she must have rushed over without bothering to go back to freshen up.
As soon as she entered the house, Ye Yuqing said reluctantly, "My father asked me to apologize to you, but Ye Yuhong, don't be complacent too early, I will have to repay this revenge sooner or later, I didn't expect you to become so insidious and cunning now." ”
"Insidious and cunning? I can have today because of my sister and mother. If you hadn't kept wanting me dead, I wouldn't have wanted to live all the time. I didn't want to hurt the innocent. However, I want to live. Ye Yuhong didn't plan to pretend anymore, so she simply spoke openly and honestly to Ye Yuqing.
Ye Yuqing was not to be outdone, and continued, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's see who is the final winner in the end." Today you have made my mother suffer these sins, and I will pay them back in the future.
