Chapter 425: Punishment Announced
Early the next morning, Chu Yuxi went to the Queen Mother to say hello at dawn and dusk as usual, and sure enough, many people had already arrived, laughing with the Queen Mother.
She went in and bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the queen mother, I have seen the sisters."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and the concubines greeted each other.
A little later, the concubines in the harem who are qualified to set the province in the morning and dusk, except for Yan Zhaoyi, who was temporarily ordered to be grounded by Ye Hansi, have all arrived.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to want everyone to go back, and deliberately threw out one topic after another for everyone to answer and stay.
So I don't know how long later, when everyone heard that there was still a father-in-law singing to welcome people, they all turned back curiously, only to see Ye Hansi stepping into the morning light, wearing a serious and crisp court dress, looking majestic, and handsome as a god descending to earth.
The concubines were stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to their senses and saluted in unison: "The concubine has seen the emperor!"
Ye Hansi waved his hand casually to let them flatten, greeted the Queen Mother, and sat down beside the Queen Mother.
Then, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he said lightly: "I asked the queen mother to help keep the concubines today, because I couldn't figure out one thing, and now I finally figured it out."
The Queen Mother smiled kindly: "Your Majesty, don't sell it, just say it."
Ye Hansi nodded: "Regarding Yan Zhaoyi's framing of Li Guiren and harming An Jieyu, I didn't know how to make a decision before. The framing of the concubine should have been punished with a cane for twenty and sent to the palace for reflection, but for the sake of An'er's young age and inseparable from her mother, I and the queen mother decided to punish the fifteenth cane after thinking about it, and imprisoned in Qinxia Palace, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving to visit. ”
The palace concubine is weak, and the general cane scolding fifty is out of breath, and the cane scolding twenty is reduced by five times, showing the emperor's grace.
Such a special notice is to warn those who have a good relationship with Yan Huiyi not to try to visit, be used at will, and find a way to fish her out again.
Everyone nodded knowingly, and then said in unison: "The emperor is shengming."
In fact, Yan Huiyi's reputation is not bad, and she has always been a delicate and sickly, gentle and kind woman in the eyes of everyone.
She has a soft personality, as if she won't refuse, she agrees to everything others ask, and smiles gently, and basically doesn't conflict with others.
But last time, she openly said that she framed someone, and it was the medicine she sent someone to do, although she said it bluntly, but the smile on her face remained the same, which made everyone tremble and start to be afraid.
With a little brain, everyone knows that this seemingly gentle and deceitful Yan Huiyi is not a simple character, but he is hidden deeply, so no one finds out.
Now that the tip of the iceberg has been revealed, people no longer dare to treat her like before.
Yang Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi stopped talking, their faces were not very good-looking, as if they were dissatisfied with this resolution.
As shrewd as Ye Hansi, he naturally saw it at a glance, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked everyone to go back, sent the Queen Mother to the inner room, and by the way, left the two of them: "Yang Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi, let's talk a few more words to the Queen Mother."
Waiting for everyone to leave, Ye Hansi didn't care: "Yang Zhaoyi has something to say?"
Yang Zhaoyi adhered to her innocent and willful character in the palace, and took the lead in speaking: "The concubine thinks that poisoning and framing the two crimes is serious, not to mention that she is a mother, she should be severely punished to stand up and set an example for Princess Qingran."
"What do you mean, my sentence is light?" Ye Hansi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at this concubine quietly. Love to read
Yang Zhaoyi was not afraid at all, and nodded frankly: "This is exactly what it means, only when the punishment is heavy, Yan Zhaoyi will remember the lesson and will not commit it again, which is also educational for Princess Qingran."
Repeatedly moved out of Princess Qingran, but also to make sure that Ye Hansi would not let his children grow crooked in the hands of the vicious concubine.
That natural appearance made Ye Hansi think for a while, but he didn't ask her again, but asked Wei Zhaoyi playfully: "You also want to say that the sentence is light?"
So many gentle and virtuous concubines didn't speak, but they felt that the judge had an opinion, and it was a delicate and willful concubine, which was a bit interesting.
Wei Zhaoyi didn't doubt him, he had felt that there was something wrong with this Yan Huiyi before, and he had provoked it, and if he didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well at this time, he would have to wait until when: "Yes." The concubine is not as aware of righteousness as her sister, so she feels that if this matter is not handled well, the crime is too light, and there will be others who will commit it again, which is not good for the entire harem. ”
"Go on." Ye Hansi could see that she hadn't finished speaking, so he was quite interested in letting her finish.
"If the punishment is light this time, it will definitely not be serious next time you commit this kind of thing, otherwise people with broken mouths will say that the emperor is biased, because An'er intends to protect his shortcomings." Wei Yiyi is in the good position of being good for the emperor, and she looks sincere.
"There is some truth, but I also have my own considerations. Go back first. Ye Hansi nodded after hearing what they said, but waved his hand and left.
What does that mean?
Don't think about it anymore?
Leaving the two Zhaoyi looking at each other, at a loss.
Yang Zhaoyi came back to her senses first, "Now that the queen mother is in the middle, let's go and see what the queen mother means." ”
Yes, Ye Hansi is a filial person, if the Queen Mother has a suggestion, he will not sit idly by.
As soon as the two of them combined, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, so they went in to find the queen mother and said: "The concubine has seen the queen mother, don't you think the emperor has a light sentence?"
The Queen Mother was drinking tea, and after listening to their words, she turned back funny: "Have you told the emperor?"
"As I just said, the emperor waited for us to finish and got up and left." Yang Zhaoyi was born to be coquettish, and said unrelentingly: "Queen Mother, if this kind of thing happens in the harem, it hurts people a lot, and the cold heart is big, don't you say?"
Seeing her like this, Wei Yiyi also learned to move forward: "Queen Mother, Princess Qingran is indeed still young, and she needs the right enlightenment, and she can't be led astray from an early age."
Speaking of Princess Qingran, the queen mother's face darkened, and she said unpleasantly: "The emperor naturally has his reasons for dealing with it like this, and it is inconvenient for the mourning family to interfere." No one is a saint or a sage, but if Yan Zhaoyi commits it again, the mourning family will naturally take An'er over to raise it personally, or find a suitable concubine to raise it on her behalf. ”
Yang Zhaoyi didn't follow: "But, if it goes on like this, how can the harem be governed." You trusted the concubine at that time, and let me and Concubine Chu govern the harem together, and now that this is happening, how can you convince the sisters in the future?"
The Queen Mother saw that they didn't eat soft and hard, and it was not very pleasant, so she secretly reminded: "Some things are not so simple."
Yan Huiyi can't handle it casually, because she still has the Yan family behind her, and the power in the court is also intricate, complicated and not simple, and the punishment is too serious, and it will not give the Yan family face, which will cause a series of chain reactions.
Everything is not as simple as it seems.
This is also one of the reasons why Yan Huiyi dares to admit it directly.
