Chapter 32: Who Will Save Me?
The punishment of fifty boards directly frightened Yan Yue's brain blank, forgetting to ask for help, forgetting to beg for mercy, and even forgetting the rules, kneeling on the ground only to stare at the two clusters of Zhenghong above the main hall.
"The queen mother is angry, sister, she is also unintentional, please show mercy to the queen's mother." Yan Qin knelt on the side and begged, and this plea restored Yan Yue's sanity. Yan Yue couldn't tell what it was like in her heart for a while. The so-called success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. Everything was because of her, and now she actually remembered to intercede for herself, why did she sell herself when she entered the house just now. That is, if you want to protect yourself, you have to sell some favors, is this still a sister who is related by blood?
Looking at the two most noble people on the high seat, the queen's eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, which made people not notice her appearance, and only stared at her closed lips, because her lips at this time were related to life and death. And Murong Yan, who was sitting upright on the side, had a cold-eyed expression, he just sat there so peacefully, and when he met Yan Yue's eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes. This made Yan Yue have a delusion for a moment, today's incident would not have been done by this Murong Yan on purpose, otherwise how could that fan be broken when touched?
"Bold minion, dare to be so rude at this time! Pull it out and hit! The queen was even more annoyed, after all, there were not many minions like Yan Yue who made mistakes, and they dared to look directly at the emperor without pleading or talking.
"The queen mother and forgiveness, this slave is really hateful, and it is not too much to beat her fifty boards. But today is the day when the emperor prays for the blessings of the world, and the concubines privately think that it is appropriate not to see the blood, so it is better to replace the fifty boards with other punishments. lest this slave collide with today's good day for the emperor and queen to pray for blessings. A voice spoke, and it was clear in the silent hall. Yan Yue escaped to prestige, it was the Wang beauty who had crossed paths with Yan Yue twice. Although these words were pandering to the queen, they really pleaded for Yan Yue, and even the smile on Murong Yan's lips deepened a little.
"Wang Meiren's words are wrong, is the blood light ominous? Isn't it even more ominous to say that one of those sacrifices was not the result of killing? The queen was not slow to react, and directly retorted that the sacrifices the queen said were horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs. Yan Yue couldn't help but secretly exclaim, Wang Meiren would not offend the queen by her own involvement.
"It's the concubine who doesn't think about it, the concubine only thinks that the emperor said a sentence during the May Festival, make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things, and think in her heart that Yan Yinu is the person next to the emperor after all, she diagnoses the pulse every day, serves the banquet, and it doesn't matter if this slave is injured or dies, but if the emperor is missing a personal person, wouldn't it be the sin of the concubines." Wang Meiren still slowly swallowed the truth, but Yan Yue was worried about it, although this Wang Meiren was low-key and avoided things in her words, but she was aimed at the queen's words everywhere. Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of your resources, these two sentences can refute the queen's blood and light statement.
"This palace doesn't even have the right to punish minions now, Your Majesty, what do you say?" The queen is completely furious!
The punishment of the slave suddenly turned into a war between two women, and this fire finally burned to the emperor's body, and everyone in the palace waited with the mentality of watching the play. These two women, one is the queen mother of the harem, and the other is the emperor's new favorite beauty, at this time, it is not Yan Yue that everyone is concerned about, it seems that Murong Yan's attitude determines the direction of the harem in the future.
Murong Yan didn't expect this fire to burn to his body in the end, and it burned so quickly. Then she looked at the kneeling woman in the hall, and glared at her with curiosity, obviously she had forgotten that she was the protagonist of this matter, and that if she stood on the queen's side, the fifty boards would fall on her.
"People make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, and I can't imagine that the beauty I said can remember clearly. Yan Yinu, if you can find a reason why neither the queen nor I will punish you now, today's fifty boards will be exempted. It's just that this reason is not allowed to be related to the pulse service banquet. Murong Yan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said slowly.
This disposition was not biased, but just kicked the ball to Yan Yue herself. Yan Yue was dumbfounded again, what reason could the emperor and the queen not punish themselves, and it had nothing to do with the emperor. Did you release yourself for the sake of the common people in the world? Do you have the ability to be tied to the people of the world? Did you think you were a fart? Yan Yue couldn't say such a humble word.
Yan Yue's pleading gaze looked at Murong Yan, but he somehow returned his attention to the poem just now, and he didn't know whose poem he was holding in his hand and frowning and studying. Yan Yue's pleading gaze turned to Yan Qin beside her, but she looked at Shang Yan Qin with a little weakness, and quickly turned her direction when she met Shang Yan Yue's gaze. Yan Yue wanted to look back at the Wang beauty, but she grabbed her neck again, why bother her again and again.
"Yan Yinu, if you can't find a reason, these fifty boards can only hit you." Murong Yan's faint voice reached her ears, and Yan Yue stared and thought about it again, but she couldn't think of an answer that could relieve her no matter what. Just when Yan Yue secretly called for my life to rest, I heard Wang Meiren's regretful voice sounding softly behind her: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother is in poor health, otherwise she would definitely participate in this blessing festival!" ”
Wang Meiren's words will never come out of thin air, Yan Yue flashed a thought in her mind, and immediately replied loudly: "The slave can cure the queen mother's illness, I don't know why the emperor and the queen will exempt the slave and the maid from fifty boards." ”
"You are a medical girl, you dare to speak so wildly, so many imperial doctors are helpless about the queen mother's condition, in order to escape punishment, you actually use this reason to fool the emperor and the palace!" The queen was furious, maybe she didn't expect Yan Yue to say such a reason, because if there was such a reason, the emperor and queen would really be able to lay down the fifty boards.
"Whether it is a wild speech, the queen will know if she asks the emperor." Yan Yue didn't want to be verbose with this queen, and always felt that the other party seemed to have a mentality, a mentality that wanted to knock herself down very much.
The queen turned her head in surprise, but Murong Yan was also staring at Yan Yue lightly, and when she saw the queen asking, she also nodded lightly. The queen was surprised, but immediately said: "Yan Yue, since you can cure the queen mother's illness, these fifty boards will be exempted first, but if you can't cure the queen mother's illness, this palace will punish the two crimes together!" Then it will not be fifty boards, but a hundred. ”
"Alright, that's all for today, I'm tired." Murong Yan suddenly lost his spirit and slowly stood up. Everyone also quickly knelt on the ground. When he walked to the middle of the main hall, he suddenly said: "Wang Meiren, if Yan Yinu can cure the Queen Mother this time, you will also make a great contribution." ”
"The concubine doesn't dare! The concubines only hope that the queen mother is healthy! Wang Meiren still has a soft and slowly sweet voice. Murong Yan only glanced at Wang Meiren lightly, and quickly left.
Yan Yue didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, this Wang beauty and herself are just two sides of the relationship, if you want to say that more contact is to teach her how to massage the emperor last time, is it worth it for her to compete with the queen to protect herself, in case the emperor is biased towards the queen just now, then she will not be able to gain a foothold in this harem again.
Looking at Yan Qin beside him again, he seems to have only said one word since the accident! This comparison made Yan Yue feel cold, and her mother also specially explained that she wanted to take care of each other with this Yan Qin, so can she still take care of it in the future?
"Yan Yinu, hurry up, the emperor is leaving!" Xiao Lizi ran back and said hurriedly in Yan Yue's ear. Only then did Yan Yue remember that she was the person next to the emperor, and the emperor was gone, what was she still kneeling here. Immediately stood up, and with Xiao Lizi quickly ran outside the hall, only this running action made the people in the hall stunned again.
Until the Qingxin Palace, Yan Yue's thinking was still entangled in these fifty boards, and the slightest carelessness in this palace was really life-threatening! It's just, it's just that how can the workmanship of that fan be so bad? Is someone trying to harm themselves or is they really having a bad fate?
"How bold you are! Dare to say that it can cure the illness of the Queen Mother, do you know what disease the Queen Mother suffers from? If it can't be cured, can you afford those hundred big boards? As soon as Murong Yan entered the Qingxin Palace, he withdrew from everyone, and without even sitting down, the fire burst out at Yan Yue.
Yan Yue realized that she was reckless again, and she really didn't know what kind of disease the Queen Mother had. In case the Queen Mother has some terminal cancer, or some incurable disease, she really can't see it well. It's not a loss to be beaten a hundred boards, but that Wang Meiren will definitely be implicated in this matter. Thinking like this, Yan Yue was immediately discouraged, and she didn't care about any etiquette and palace rules. He sat on the chair that Murong Yan usually sat on and muttered: "I was wrong, I don't agree with this palace at all, just like the emperor said, sooner or later I will die in this palace." ”
"With a little cleverness, you will be enthusiastic about helping others, do you think Yan Qin can't write poetry? Do you think you can hide your little actions from others? Pour water, I'm thirsty! Murong Yan said fiercely again, this time he walked directly to Yan Yue's side and pulled Yan Yue off the chair in one fell swoop.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Didn't you force me to find a reason, didn't you want to have anything to do with the emperor's pulse diagnosis banquet, if it weren't for Wang Meiren's reminder, the fifty boards would have been hit on the body! Everything is the emperor's fault, and now you are still reprimanding me! Yan Yue completely lost the rules, and she didn't think about the meaning of Murong Yan's words, and directly retorted.
"You stupid and stupid woman, don't let you say that you will give me a banquet, can't you say that the emperor will canonize you as a beauty in the future, and you can't do the canonization ceremony if you hit the board?" Murong Yan was so angry that he couldn't speak, this woman never respected herself as a king, and as a result, Murong Yan completely lost the majesty that an emperor should have in front of this woman.
"Your Majesty, you don't dream less, I will never be a beauty!" Yan Yue replied forcefully and quickly, successfully seeing Murong Yan's face become like a pig's liver.
