Chapter Forty-Nine: Recovering Dongzhu
This fire burned to Luo Xuanran, Luo Xuanran secretly hated Wen Miqing in his heart for having no brains, why should he be embarrassed at this time? When Dongzhu was found from Yuyang Palace, didn't Wen Miqing just say whatever he wanted at that time, why was he now implicated by Lianzhi who grabbed the pigtail?
"Your Majesty, Princess Miqing's temperament is more straightforward, and she has always said something. The palace is distressed, so she indulges her on weekdays, but the etiquette never dares to be wasted, and the emperor knows it. Luo Xuanran said.
Emperor Chu looked at Luo Xuanran for a long time: "The queen has always had all kinds of problems recently, Dongzhu, Princess Miqing, and Concubine Hou, what can you do to satisfy me?" ”
This sentence can be said to bluntly say that the queen is not virtuous.
Lianzhi is a little strange, even if the emperor has no affection for Luo Xuanran, but why did he suddenly attack Luo Xuanran during this time? It's so unusual!
Luo Xuanran knew that Emperor Chu was having an attack under the pretext of an excuse, and she was also frightened for a while.
"Your Majesty, everyone sees how the concubines treat Princess Miqing, and there is no place where the concubines are not careful with her. The concubine manages the harem, naturally it is necessary to be lenient and strict, if the concubine thinks that the concubine is conniving, then this harem is not a miasma? In today's Dongzhu incident, the concubine has the responsibility of failing to take care of it, but it is inevitable that someone will come to frame the concubine! ”
Listening to Luo Xuanran's rebuttal, Wen Miqing also walked to the center of the main hall: "Father, the queen mother has treated her sons very well over the years, it is all the fault of her sons, and the sons are here to apologize to Princess Wanyang, and ask my father to stop blaming the queen mother." ”
"You are really a mother and a daughter." Although Emperor Chu did not have the anger just now, he was still imposing.
Seeing this, Wen Zhiyan immediately stepped forward: "Father, Miqing has indeed indulged in some behavior over the years, but this is because my father loves Miqing, otherwise even if the queen mother loves Miqing again, Miqing will not dare to be so bold." ”
"Are you accusing me?"
"Erchen didn't dare, but Erchen knew that his father cherished the fourth sister very much, so the fourth sister had to rely on, and in the heart of the fourth sister, the father was the most important thing from beginning to end."
Wen Zhiyan's words softened Emperor Chu's complexion a little: "Miqing, go and apologize to Princess Wanyang." ”
Wen Miqing didn't dare to disobey Emperor Chu's will, walked up to Lianzhi and said, "Princess Wanyang, I lost my words just now, and I ask Princess Wanyang to forgive me." ”
"I hope that Princess Miqing will learn the lesson of this time, I know that Emperor Chu has always loved Princess Miqing, but the princess of a country is not the daughter of an ordinary family after all, and she still has to bear it."
Lianzhi's words, Emperor Chu listened to it with great satisfaction: "Princess Wanyang is right, you have been raised by the queen's side since you were a child, and you are an example for everyone, you must do your best, understand?" ”
"Erchen understands." Wen Miqing answered.
Lianzhi figured out a little bit of Emperor Chu's thoughts at this time, and Emperor Chu probably wanted to start planning for Wen Miqing's marriage, but Wen Miqing's temperament must have been heard of by the major families in private, and those children of the family are definitely unwilling to marry such a living ancestor back. And the family that is willing to marry naturally can't get into the eyes of Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu is beating the queen, and Wen Miqing's behavior must be restrained. As for why it was to beat the queen instead of Wen Miqing, it was very simple, because Wen Miqing was too stupid to understand what Emperor Chu meant.
Lianzhi doesn't know what the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was like in previous years, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is really not simple!
The people who were in charge of searching the palaces also came back and did not find them.
"Didn't you find anywhere?" Emperor Chu asked again.
"The minions searched carefully, but they really didn't find Dongzhu."
Emperor Chu looked at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes suddenly stayed on Concubine Xian, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Search the Hall of Eternal Life again." ”
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and let the palace people start to search the Hall of Eternal Life.
"Concubine Xian suddenly mentioned Weiyang Palace just now, is she suspicious of the queen?" Emperor Chu opened his mouth to ask Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian didn't expect Emperor Chu to mention herself at this time: "Your Majesty, the concubine just thinks that Dongzhu may fall in Weiyang Palace, and it is also to find Dongzhu that Weiyang Palace will be mentioned, and there is no other meaning." ”
"Concubine Xian has always been thoughtful, why didn't she think of the Hall of Eternal Life?"
"No matter how thoughtful the concubine is, she is not as good as the emperor, she can only think of Weiyang Palace and forget the Palace of Eternal Life."
Although Concubine Xian's face was calm, Lianzhi knew that Concubine Xian was already panicking.
Emperor Chu was not an emperor who was easy to fool, he was very shrewd and found out that something was wrong with Concubine Xian in a short period of time. It seems that the loss of Dongzhu today is indeed inseparable from Concubine Xian.
The Hall of Eternal Life was personally searched by Gonggong Li, and after a while, Gonggong Li brought people back: "Your Majesty, Dongzhu has found it, and it is in the apse, maybe he didn't pay attention to it when he took it over and rolled it down." ”
Emperor Chu looked at Dongzhu who had been refounded: "Concubine Xian, if you could have thought of the Hall of Eternal Life earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't have to go to great lengths to search other palaces." ”
"It's the concubine who didn't think about it, but Dongzhu actually fell in the apse, it must be that this father-in-law is not careful to do things, so many people are implicated. A good Chinese New Year's Eve feast, so many things were made. Concubine Xian pushed all the matter on Xiao Quanzi.
Xiao Quanzi lay on the ground, not daring to say a word, and defended himself at such a time, that is, he really didn't want to live.
"Li Sheng, you taught this little whole child single-handedly, how could there be such a big mistake?" Emperor Chu asked.
Gonggong Li glanced at Xiao Quanzi, he had lived in the palace for so long and walked to the position of the chief administrator in front of the palace, how could he not know that Xiao Quanzi was framed. But in the struggle between the masters, the sacrifices are always slaves, and it can only be said that Xiao Quanzi is unlucky, if you want to live a long and good life in this palace, luck is very important.
"Xiao Quanzi used to be very safe, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, and I asked the emperor to punish him." Gonggong Li gave up Xiao Quanzi, and Xiao Quanzi, who was lying on the ground, slowly closed his eyes.
Emperor Chu said casually: "Then the rod will be punished a hundred, and go to other places to do things." ”
The rod is a hundred, and in terms of the mistake Xiao Quanzi made today, it is estimated that it will kill him. As for the latter sentence "go to other places to do things", it is simply dispensable.
Xiao Quanzi didn't even struggle, and was dragged down directly.
Kite's eyes kept staring at Xiao Quanzi, her whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and the only reason left told her that she must not act rashly now.
Before Xiao Quanzi was pulled out of the Hall of Eternal Life, he looked back as if he was casually looking back, just opposite Kite Dai's gaze. He hopes that Iris will live well and never become a pawn that can be discarded at will......
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet ended very hastily, and the loss of Dongzhu, although in the end only a eunuch was released, but there were too many people involved, so everyone was terrified.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the Chu Emperor went to the Empress Weiyang Palace, and everyone sent the Empress off.
Wen Yunxi drank some wine tonight and was a little dizzy, so she took Lianzhi to walk around and then go back. The two walked slowly around the corridor, and Wen Yunxi still had palpitations: "I'm scared to death today." ”
"There are too many people involved in Dongzhu's matter today, and it's normal for you to worry."
"I didn't expect my father to scold the queen in public, and my father's temper seems to be worse today."
"The former dynasty and the harem are originally one, and the queen being scolded in the harem should have something to do with the Luo family."
"We are in this deep palace, and we don't know about the things of the previous dynasty, take one step at a time, as long as these things don't implicate us, that's fine."
The two were walking when they suddenly heard a voice coming from ahead. It was the sound of a stick-on-the-pound hitting a person, one after another.
Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi walked over, it was Xiao Quanzi who was being punished, watching those strong eunuchs hit Xiao Quanzi's body one after another, Wen Yunxi couldn't help but shudder.
Xiao Quanzi's back to his buttocks were all red with blood, and he kept gritting his teeth and holding on, never shouting. But looking at Xiao Quanzi's appearance, he was about to lose consciousness, and he wouldn't be able to last long if he continued to fight like this. I'm afraid that the punishment of one hundred sticks has not yet been completed, and Xiao Quanzi is already going to see the king of Hades.
"My father just said that he will be punished with a hundred rods, and he will still be sent to other places to do things in the future, if you continue to fight like this, will he still have the order to do things in other places?" Wen Yunxi really couldn't bear to see Xiao Quanzi being beaten to death, after all, it was a human life, and Xiao Quanzi didn't do anything heinous, because he wouldn't lose his life if he was careless.
