Chapter 19: Is It a Deliberate Temptation?
"Your concubine Niangniang, these are all done by Wei Zhaoyi at the instigation of slaves and maids. The slave has to do it, if the slave doesn't do it, she will kill me, the slave doesn't want to die......"
"But you didn't have a good heart in the first place, and I already have evidence of your guilt from other people's mouths...... You will be limited to one night, and you will either decide on your own, or you will wait for me to go back and report to Your Majesty, and see how Your Majesty decides. ”
She felt sorry for her.
Chu Yuxi was too lazy to listen to her wail anymore, and after waving his hand at Xiaoqi, he walked out of the cold palace with her support.
The patronizing and shouting at the top of her throat before, coupled with the tightness in her chest, she felt a little dizzy as soon as she came out of the cold palace.
"I didn't come if I knew I wouldn't have come, and it seems that the way back is still a long way."
Chu Yu looked at the long corridor in front of him and sighed slightly.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he stopped, "Otherwise, Niangniang, you are waiting here, and I will go back and let people ......."
Chu Yuxi directly interrupted, "Forget it, I don't want to stay here for one more minute." No, I felt sick for a second longer. Let's go back quickly, it's not too early. ”
With less than a stick of incense, they finally walked back to the Furong Palace.
Seeing Xiao Jiezi outside the palace gate, Chu Yuxi knew that Ye Hansi was inside at this moment.
I picked up my mind and didn't let Xiaoqi hold on anymore.
"Noble concubine, you really let me wait."
Ye Hansi was standing under the wisteria trellis, looking at her with a smile.
Chu Yuxi trembled all over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine went to the cold palace." Because of this, I have been delayed for some hours, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me. ”
"What are you going to do in the cold palace, isn't there a past you can't give up?"
Ye Hansi's gaze fell on the purple of the garden, and there seemed to be a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Yuxi stepped forward and said, "Is Your Majesty willing to listen to the matter of the Cold Palace now?" ”
Seeing him standing there motionless with his hands in his hands, Chu Yu was a little anxious, "If Your Majesty doesn't like these, I will let the people in the flower house remove them tomorrow." ”
"No need, although it is ugly, but after all, it is an afternoon of labor in the flower room, and it is a pity to bother to remove it......"
Ye Hansi paused deliberately, and then turned to look at Chu Yuxi, still holding the arrogance that emperors have had since ancient times, "It's just that you really think that you can live here forever." If you can't break the five-son array, your Chu family will only end up with a nest falling and breaking eggs. ”
"The concubine believes that the younger brother will be able to break the five-son formation, and I ask Your Majesty to be more patient."
I've heard him mention the matter of the Five Sons Array several times, and Chu Yuxi's ears are calloused.
"Then tell me what you did when you went to the cold palace."
After instructing Xiaoli to go down and prepare tea, Chu Yuxi followed Ye Hansi and walked inside.
and told Ye Hansi all the grievances suffered by the original owner. Of course, she did not mention that Mama Hua said that she was instructed by others, but let her take all the blame.
Because Chu Yu was afraid that mentioning those two women might make Ye Hansi mistakenly think that he was directing and acting by himself. Besides, the power behind those two women is too strong, how can an old slave and maid shake them?
After speaking, it is also time to unitary. Gonggong Jiang came in to pass the meal, and after a set of procedures, Ye Hansi's face was not very good-looking.
"You have suffered so much in the cold palace before...... Why don't you find a chance to come to me? ”
Jiang Linfu was serving Tian Cai on the side, and Chu Yuxi almost didn't laugh when he heard what he said.
She only thought in her heart: Dog Emperor, if I don't come to you, can't you come to see me? Even if you come once in a while, the fate of the original owner will not be so miserable.
The face remained calm, and even a little aggrieved, "The concubine has tried many methods, but they have not succeeded. At that time, the concubines were sent to the cold palace, and they were soft-spoken, and they became the targets of those people's bullying......"
Seeing that Ye Hansi's expression was slightly moved, Chu Yuxi pretended to be even more pitiful.
But Ye Hansi said with a look of surprise: "If you follow your previous temperament, you can only admonish her a few words at most." I thought you had really changed, but now I see that you don't seem to have changed much. ”
"Wouldn't it be cheaper for her to reward her for committing suicide?"
Ye Hansi, is it so ruthless?
Chu Yuxi still didn't come to his senses, and listened to him say quietly: "Since you gave her two choices first, then it depends on her that she is still alive tomorrow." If she had already killed herself, it would be over. If she is okay tomorrow, she will be punished with ......"
Chu Yuxi was waiting for his next words, but he didn't want Ye Hansi to stop in time, "It's not decided for a while, in short, it won't make her feel better." ”
Chu Yuxi suddenly hoped in her heart that Mama Hua would kill herself quickly.
……
But she was wrong, she should have expected that such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death would be willing to commit suicide? She must have been lucky, so she survived the night.
Unless it is someone who really wants to die, he will always let himself go at the last moment out of instinct.
……
Early the next morning, Chu Yuxi woke up and heard Xiaoqi say that Mama Hua was still alive. I thought that I would go to the cold palace to have a look after breakfast, but who thought that I had eaten breakfast, so I heard the news and rushed back.
"Niangniang, why don't I talk to you later."
"What happened?"
Chu Yuxi put down the teacup, and as Xiao Yuanzi's words fell, she almost didn't sit still.
"Back to Niangniang, Mama Hua was sentenced to death for half a stick of incense...... and ordered her to be expelled from the palace and left to fend for herself. ”
When Chu Yuxi was wondering what the punishment was, he listened to Xiao Qi's panicked expression and slowly explained: "Execution...... It is the punishment of cutting off the kneecaps so that they cannot stand for the rest of their lives. ”
Isn't that too vicious?
"It's definitely worse than calling her dead."
Fortunately, Chu Yuxi just felt a little disgusting, but he was still able to hold back.
She sat for a while before she came out of her sadness. What makes her sad is not only the fate of Mama Hua, but also the fate of her own future.
Ye Hansi was so ruthless, Chu Yuxi was a little scared.
"I think Your Majesty is also for the good of the mother. Everyone knows about Mama Hua's evil deeds, and His Majesty is doing this to set an example. From a certain point of view, I don't think anyone will dare to be disrespectful to Niangniang in the future. ”
Should she feel honored?
Chu Yuxi couldn't do it, it was a fresh human life.
"Pack up, I'm going to your majesty."
Remembering that the draft matter has not been discussed with him, it must be resolved as soon as possible, because I still have to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.
After learning that His Majesty was in the imperial study, Chu Yuxi also set off to rush there.
……
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."
"Get up...... Do you know everything about Mama Hua? ”
How could Chu Yuxi feel that he did it on purpose to show himself.
"Everything Your Majesty has done seems to be right in the eyes of the concubines, and the concubines have no objections."
Ye Hansi lazily put down the fold in his hand, and sighed and said, "I thought that I would ask you to go and see it together, thinking that your illness would be better, but I couldn't see that, so I dispelled this idea." ”
