Chapter 126: Hu Xian
"That steward Sun begged the queen mother, turned his head again, and begged the queen mother."
The time that Aunt Zheng served by the side of the Empress Dowager Li was longer than the time that Aunt Fu stayed by the side of the Empress Dowager Li.
So after Aunt Fu died, Empress Dowager Li immediately asked Aunt Zheng to come back to help her.
Eating the oranges peeled by Aunt Zheng, Empress Dowager Li asked Aunt Zheng beside her.
"That Sun is in charge, how do you want me to help her?"
Empress Dowager Li said, glancing at Aunt Zheng who was waiting beside her.
Aunt Zheng hurriedly lowered her head.
"Her niece, what did she steal from the queen's palace before she was handed over to the palace department for investigation?"
Aunt Zheng didn't hide it from the Empress Dowager Li, so she said.
"Steward Sun's niece, because she stole a box of rouge in front of the queen's dresser, she asked the queen's mother to call the palace to come over, but a box of rouge is just a big deal, it's just that the queen is making a big fuss."
Empress Dowager Li didn't listen to Aunt Zheng continue, interrupted Aunt Zheng's words, and asked.
"Is the queen making a big fuss, or are you hiding the truth and not telling me? What did you steal from the Queen's Palace?"
Aunt Zheng was frightened by Empress Dowager Li's sudden words, and had no choice but to tell Empress Dowager Li the truth.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it's a phoenix seal! The niece of the grandson steward stole the phoenix seal of the queen's mother, so the queen invited the palace to come and investigate. ”
Aunt Zheng fell into words, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and begged Empress Dowager Li for forgiveness.
"Ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness! The old slave didn't deliberately want to hide it from the Queen Mother, but the Sun Steward had already handed the silver to the old slave and asked the old slave to say these words in front of the Queen Mother. ”
Seeing Aunt Zheng kowtowing vigorously and begging for mercy, Empress Dowager Li only lowered her head and glanced at it, and sighed a few times in a row.
"Stealing the queen's phoenix seal, if you follow the rules of the palace, even if you beat that girl to death, it is not too much. Now that she has just invited Gong Zhengji to investigate, the queen is still very merciful. ”
"If it were me, I would have asked someone to cripple that girl's hands and feet."
When Empress Dowager Li said this, Aunt Zheng was even more frightened.
"The Queen Mother, they are all old slaves, but please spare the old slave for the sake of the old slave who has served you for so many years!"
Empress Dowager Li didn't speak, and sighed a few times in a row.
"You have been by my side for so many years, and I am extremely relieved of you. I didn't think that you came to Kunning Palace, and you caused such a big trouble for me. ”
"The queen has always enforced the law impartially, but I'm afraid she won't let you go easily. I don't want to protect you, because you are too useless, useless people, it is useless to continue to stay by my side and serve, and after the monster is disposed of, you will follow out of the palace! ”
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Aunt Zheng was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
Aunt Zheng finally returned to the Empress Dowager Li to serve, and now the Empress Dowager is going to drive her out again, she doesn't want to go out of the palace, she just wants to stay by the Empress Dowager's side to serve.
Aunt Zheng didn't want to leave Empress Dowager Li's side.
Aunt Zheng has served by the side of Empress Dowager Li for so many years, and she has long been accustomed to life in the palace.
And a few years ago, Empress Dowager Li let Aunt Zheng out of the palace to raise her.
But her man was dead, and her sons didn't recognize her, they only knew that they were looking for her for money, so she really had no choice, so she entered the palace again and went to serve by the Empress Dowager Li.
Now that Empress Dowager Li wants her to leave the palace, it is even more uncomfortable than letting her die.
She can't die, she has to live. If the Queen Mother really handed her over to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would inevitably hand her over to the Palace Chief, and according to the palace rules, she would be kicked out of the palace.
Although the palace is now full of such bloodthirsty monsters, it is difficult to guarantee that the queen mother will not wait for this incident to pass before sending her.
She couldn't wait, so she begged the Queen Mother again.
Aunt Zheng thought about it, leaned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Empress Dowager Li a few times, and followed.
"Queen Mother, the old slave knows that he has been bribed privately, and he has been taboo in the palace, but the old slave is really forced to do this."
"The old slave and the sons born to the previous man are all unlucky, lingering in gambling houses and liquor stores all day long, and after running out of money, they come to the old slave to ask for money."
"Before the old slave went out of the palace, the money that the queen mother rewarded the old slave had already called several sons to lose, and the old slave really had no choice, so he privately accepted the silver of the grandson's steward. If the Queen Mother doesn't allow it, the old slave will return the silver now. ”
As Aunt Zheng spoke, she stood up from the ground, prepared to push the door out, and went to find Steward Sun, the steward of the small kitchen of Kunning Palace.
Seeing that Aunt Zheng was going out, Empress Dowager Li hurriedly glanced at the palace maid who was waiting beside her.
After understanding the meaning of the Empress Dowager, several palace maids who were waiting beside Empress Dowager Li stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Zheng, and several palace maids persuaded Aunt Zheng in a gossipy manner.
"Aunt Zheng, the Queen Mother is just talking, don't take it seriously, how can the Queen Mother really drive Aunt Zheng out of the palace?"
Several palace maids persuaded Aunt Zheng, bowed to the Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting at the top, and then withdrew.
Those who have served in the palace for a long time have vision.
They have already seen that the Queen Mother has a few thoughtful words, and she wants to say it to Aunt Zheng in person, and it is better not to get involved with them, the palace maids who are waiting.
And they have already seen that the Queen Mother does not really want to deal with Aunt Zheng.
If the Queen Mother really wanted to dispose of Aunt Zheng, I was afraid that Aunt Xiaohan, who had already invited Aunt Xiaohan, who was waiting by the queen's side, to come over, and asked Aunt Xiaohan to temporarily detain Aunt Zheng in the underground prison of Kunning Palace. The Queen Mother didn't do this, but she was afraid that she still wanted to keep Aunt Zheng and serve by her side.
After watching a few waiting palace maids exit the house, Empress Dowager Li hurriedly picked up Aunt Zheng who was kneeling on the ground.
"I know that you have had a hard time all these years, so I still decided not to punish you, I plan to continue to keep you by my side to serve, you go down and wash up, look at your face!"
After Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, she waved her hand at Aunt Zheng and motioned for her to go out.
Aunt Zheng understood what Empress Dowager Li meant, and then went out of the house.
Kunning Hall is in the hall, and the queen also got the news.
Because of the steward of the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, Steward Sun, worried that things would fail, Aunt Zheng went to the Queen Mother and bit her back, but she was the one who took the blame at that time, so Steward Sun came to Queen Zhao's side early to ask for guilt.
"The queen mother, it was the old slave who was blinded by lard to come up with such a method, and asked the queen to spare the old slave for the sake of the old slave who has served the queen mother conscientiously all these years! The old slave will never dare to do it again next time. ”
