Chapter 66: Life and Death Are Unclear
"Girl, what's your name?"
"The slave's name is Huanzhu."
"Okay! Huanzhu, this palace asks you, is it true that the third prince of Youfu and the fourth prince of Youfu flirted with Miss Chengsun of Fengtianfu in the Miaoyin Pavilion that day? ”
“…… Be! "It's true! Empress Dowager Wu tried her best to endure the fire in her heart, and then asked, "What...... The third son kidnapped your eldest lady in the dark alley, and then beat you again, is this true? ”
"......" Huanzhu's eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears fell down with a snap, this sentence seemed to poke the wound in her heart, everyone looked at her, and finally, she nodded and replied weakly.
"Yes."
"Little girl, you are not allowed to talk nonsense like this!" Bai Shi ran to Huanzhu excitedly and grabbed her wrist, but that excited look was deeply engraved in the heads of everyone present.
In fact, as a mother, I am afraid she didn't expect this maid to say such words as soon as she came forward, no matter whether the real content was covered or not, but all the excitement had already filled her mind, making her forget her identity now.
Ji Zexiu looked at the maid Huanzhu, who was already frightened, and immediately turned his head sideways, signaling Guo Cheng behind him to go up and save him.
Guo Cheng got the order, nodded immediately, stepped forward in three or two steps, and grabbed Bai's hands at once, the Huanzhu seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and immediately hid back, she had already encountered such a thing, and now it is completely impossible to calm her down! Moreover...... Miss's life and death are uncertain now! The lady in front of her is the one who bullied the young lady! Naturally, she was terrified.
"Mrs. You, please pay attention to the rules, this is Cining Palace, not Youfu."
One sentence made Bai Shi speechless, and stunned in place, she didn't know why she lost her temper in front of Empress Dowager Wu, or if she rebelled against the upcoming punishment? But if her resistance was seen by the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be ...... When she looked at the Empress Dowager Wu sitting in a panic, she repeatedly prayed in her heart not to notice her strange thoughts, but in the end, under the cold phoenix eyes of the Empress Dowager Wu, Mrs. You wanted to fall back.
"Madame!" You Qing walked up worriedly and helped the Bai family.
Huanzhu over there was taken by Guo Cheng to Ji Zexiu, and the Empress Dowager Wu didn't ask her, and many things seemed to have settled, and Guo Cheng only whispered to comfort Huanzhu's emotions.
When Empress Dowager Wu saw that You Qing had appeased the Bai family, she immediately shouted.
"You Qing, Bai Clan, you two are not strict with your godson, and let your two deceased children commit such a heinous crime! Bullying people also dares to bully the daughter-in-law of the palace, what crime should he be guilty of? With a scolding, the two people below no longer dared to talk nonsense, but lowered their heads, looking like they didn't dare to say anything.
"Now that the deceased is deceased, naturally there should be no punishment, but the son is not the fault of the father, You Qing! From now on, your family will move out of Kyoto, and Hongu doesn't want to see you there! "What? Wouldn't it be that when you want to see Empress Dowager Wu or ask the other party for help in the future, you can't do anything? You Qing was shocked, and he was a little flustered in his heart.
The Bai clan was also a little lucky, it wasn't just those punishments that fell on him! "And ......," Empress Dowager Wu's voice made Bai's little heart lift up again.
"You Cheng and You Tao have committed such a big crime, the two of you must report to Elder You Fu, remove the names of these two scum from the family tree, and ...... Eternal life and eternity shall not enter the ancestral grave. ”
What the! Bai was shocked, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
Those two children can't enter the ancestral grave? And to remove the name? To put it mildly, these two children are also two pieces of meat that fell from her body, so they don't want it directly, how can it be? Bai glanced at You Qing beside him, and immediately knelt down again, shouting with tears in his eyes: "Empress Dowager Wu, please have a large number of adults, bypass the two deceased children of the people's wife!" "That head, just like this, knelt in front of it, knocking it.
Empress Dowager Wu frowned slightly, she only felt annoyed but never felt anything soft-hearted, but glanced at them lightly, then snorted coldly, and then turned her head to Mama Xi on the side and said, "Mama, this palace is tired today, so I will go back to rest first."
Xiu'er, for their punishment, let's follow what this palace said! By the way, I heard that not long ago, the master of Miaoyin Pavilion lost a sound Ji, and that Yin Ji is in the palace, and she was taken captive by the third prince, so you will go and send that Yin Ji back to Miaoyin Pavilion later. ”
"Yes, my son obeys."
Ji Zexiu nodded, and saw that the Empress Dowager Wu was supported by Mama Xi and went inside, the curtain was lowered, and the Bai kowtow stopped abruptly, she came towards Ji Zexiu suddenly, and knelt down again not far from him.
This action, in Ji Zexiu's eyes, is just a superfluous action.
He chuckled, raised his eyes to look at You Qing, who was standing in place not far away, and opened his mouth: "Master You, why don't you hurry up and help your wife away?" The two of you have been not strict with the two late sons, and you still want the king and the queen mother to forgive you? As you can imagine, you don't have the royal family in mind! Knowing that it was not too late for autumn to be the princess of this king's approach, she dared to ride on her head to make a fortune, which was indeed powerful.
Farewell today, please don't appear in front of this king again. ”
This time the punishment is also decent, how to say that those two people are also dead, Ji Zexiu didn't bother to blame anything, but after saying this, Guo Cheng also tacitly pushed him outside, Huanzhu followed closely, leaving only His Royal Highness, You Qing and Bai Clan hugged and cried bitterly.
As soon as he left Cining Palace, Huanzhu asked in a low voice: "Lord! You're here today, aren't you...... Miss was saved by you? ”
"How do you know?" Guo Cheng was a little surprised, and replied instead of Ji Zexiu.
This girl looks pretty honest and honest, but she's actually quite smart! "Today, when the Queen Mother's side called the slave maid into the palace, she roughly talked about this problem, saying that the two sons had been killed, and the young lady had also been saved, so let the slave and maid speak well, and they must not talk nonsense."
Huanzhu said the truth every word, standing in front of Guo Cheng, a handsome man, maybe the scars on her face were too terrifying, so she stepped back again and again, a little cautious.
"It's really good that you're so obedient."
Before Guo Cheng could reply, Ji Zexiu said in a slightly praising tone, although he was facing away from Huanzhu, but Huanzhu could also hear how deep the other party's praise was for him, and he even bowed his head shyly, and didn't dare to say a word.
Guo Cheng didn't dare to speak, this Ji Zexiu began to speak, if he still said, it would be a crime.
I only heard that, Ji Zexiu talked slowly: "Guo Cheng! Later, after you send the king back to the carriage, you will send Miss Huanzhu back to Qiu's mansion, and Huanzhu, you can go and tell your lady Qiu that her daughter is now resting in the regent's palace for physical reasons, and if you want to visit, you can come tomorrow. ”
"......" Huanzhu was a little surprised, but she still leaned over again and again gratefully and thanked her: "Yes!" Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
Ji Zexiu stopped talking, and let Guo Cheng push towards Xuanwu Gate, and Huanzhu on the side also followed.
Night fell, Ji Zexiu's carriage gradually drove back to the front of the regent's mansion, the moment it stopped, a guard stepped forward tacitly, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Ji Zexiu quickly came to the wooden wheelchair pushed by the guard, and then nodded, and the guard also returned to his original job clearly.
Ji Zexiu went up the inclined ladder next to him, and then entered the house.
The Regent's Mansion is different from other palaces, all the portable places are designed for Ji Zexiu, this is a house where people with disabilities live, but many people are already familiar with it, so they are not pointing fingers.
Thinking of that time, when the palace was first built, many people saw the palace with such a design, and they pointed their fingers, and Ji Zexiu was very angry and unwilling to go out to meet people, and then Guo Cheng's guy tried his best to let Ji Zexiu relax, and he nodded and went out.
