Chapter 112: Questioning
Liu Yu didn't hide a word, whatever the emperor asked, she answered honestly.
Last night, Feng Shanggong said to her like this: "Princess, the emperor went from a peasant family, first in the army, step by step to today, not to mention killing people like hemp, but who has won the people who want to break their wrists with the emperor over the years?" The princess thinks that in terms of knowledge and strategy, she is better than those people? ”
Liu Yu shook his head.
Even though she is usually proud, she still has self-knowledge.
"There are all the conspiracies, tricks, deception and killing in the world, and the emperor is afraid that he has seen it. The princess thinks that if she tells a few lies, can she fool the emperor? ”
Liu Yu subconsciously said: "I can't fool you." ”
"Since you can't deceive, let's tell the truth, if the emperor sees that lying, it's a crime of one degree." Feng Shanggong gave her a tip: "As long as you honestly admit your mistakes, are willing to change, and are willing to accept punishments, the emperor will not be too sad at that level." ”
Liu Yu never liked to listen to the persuasion of others before, but this time she also knew that she had caused a lot of trouble, and the people around her could only believe Feng Shanggong for the time being.
Feng Shanggong told her so.
"There may be other masters behind others, even if the princess is not here, she can change places to be on an errand. But the slave and the princess are two grasshoppers picked up on a vine, others can get out, but the slave and the maid can't get out. If the princess suffers, the slave and maid will not be well. So the slave maid is saving the princess, but also to save herself. ”
If you want Liu Yu to hear such words before, you have to be furious.
But this time she didn't.
Because she could feel that what Feng Shanggong said was all the truth.
If Feng Shanggong had sworn to the heavens and said that it was for her good at this time, Liu Yu would not dare to believe her.
If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
Feng Shanggong bluntly said that it was for herself, and others would never say such things to her again.
The emperor put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the banana outside the hall for a while, and asked, "Where did the medicine come from?" ”
"Yes...... The year before last, Lu Jingxuan had a rat infestation, and he received a pack of medicine at that time, but he didn't use it up, and when I heard that Mr. Cheng was sick and wanted to take medicine, I wanted to come and leave this half packet of medicine. The medicine was placed in the warehouse, and along with other miscellaneous items, it was kept by the eunuch Jiao Yong, so I asked someone to fetch it. ”
"Who's taking the medicine?"
"It's the little palace maid Yun'er."
"Who's drugged?"
"My daughter asked the palace maid next to her, Lu Cui, to take the medicine, and Lu Cui replied that it was not the time for Mr. Cheng to take the medicine, so she didn't have a chance to start."
The emperor asked, "What about the medicine?" ”
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, Feng Shanggong didn't remind her of this, she didn't think of it herself, she was asked by the emperor and thought, this medicine is a harmful thing, Lu Cui didn't tell her how to deal with the medicine, and she acquiesced to the medicine Lu Cui.
"It should ...... It's still in the hands of Lucui. ”
"Really?"
The emperor took out a paper bag from the hidden compartment under the table: "You recognize this thing, right?" ”
Liu Yu looked up and saw a small medicine bag wrapped in burnt yellow thick paper, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, yes."
"This kind of damn thing, you are so careless and lazy, when your own life is killed, I'm afraid you are still a fool."
Liu Yuwei said: "My daughter knows that she is wrong. ”
"Tell me what you did wrong."
Liu Yu's mouth was so dry, he licked his lips, and whispered: "Mr. Cheng's strict discipline is a good intention, but his daughter has a grudge because of this, which is not right." Therefore, if you want to hurt Mr. Cheng, it is even more wrong to make mistakes. The previous time my daughter found a eunuch who served the pen and ink, and I also asked him to write the homework, but afterwards I became angry with him, causing him to be seriously injured and disabled, and it was also my daughter's. ”
The emperor nodded.
Liu Yu did not be coquettish this time, did not mess around, nor did he lie and deny it, and the emperor's questioning was much smoother than he expected.
"Since you have admitted your mistakes, then I will punish you, you must be convinced?"
When Liu Yu heard the word punishment, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his voice trembled a little: "Daughter...... Receive the penalty. ”
The emperor saw her kneeling there without raising her head, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Cheng punished you to redo your homework, and you want to kill her." Now that I punish you, do you also resent me in your heart? ”
Liu Yu's body shook, and he almost didn't kneel, and almost fell down.
"Why did my father say this? How could a daughter have such thoughts? ”
"Hmm." The emperor didn't ask again, but Liu Yu's heart was as uncalm as if he was overturning the river and the sea.
She suddenly raised her head: "Father, my daughter has answered everything you asked, and my daughter also has a word I want to ask my father." ”
The emperor looked at her, that gaze made Liu Yu weak and timid, she clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, this time she did not flinch under the emperor's majesty.
"Just ask."
"Why does my father always dislike me?" Liu Yu had a whimper in his voice: "Why did my father never like me?" ”
Yao Deguang was guarding outside the palace gate, and the words of the emperor and the five princesses in the palace, he could only vaguely hear a few words, and as for the eunuchs and guards who were standing farther away than him, it was impossible to hear a word.
He counted silently in his heart, but he didn't do anything bad next to Grandpa Yao, only this counting was his shortcoming. If you are someone else, you will generally play up your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and you will not mention your weaknesses if you can.
Father-in-law Yao is different, he likes to go up in the face of difficulties. If there is something that cannot be done, he will do it repeatedly, and with tenacity, he must make up for this shortcoming.
Some things can be done by him, and some things can't.
For example, if you count this number, it is easy for Yao Gonggong to count to two or three hundred, and if you can't figure it out after counting wrong, you can count from the beginning.
I don't remember the first time I counted to two hundred and twenty-three, and the fifth princess came out of the palace.
Except for the Chinese New Year, she has never knelt for so long, and she can't stand on her legs.
Gonggong Yao hurriedly beckoned, and two clever palace people came over and picked up the princess.
Liu Yu's face was ugly, as if he had a serious illness, and his face was crying.
I guess I was reprimanded by the emperor, right?
Father-in-law Yao ordered someone to send the fifth princess back, and he entered the east side hall by himself.
To the surprise of Father-in-law Yao, the emperor's face was also ugly.
He sat there motionless for a long time, and Father-in-law Yao had served the emperor for several years, and he already knew his habits and temperament very well. The emperor would not have been like this if he had not encountered great troubles.
The last time I saw the emperor lose his temper like this, it was when the four princes fell from their horses.
Seeing the emperor like this, Gong Yao didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he stood quietly beside him. After a long while, the emperor finally raised his hand, and Father-in-law Yao hurriedly handed the tea to the emperor.
He chuckled in his heart as he handed it over.
The tea was a little cold.
It doesn't matter if the tea is cooler in the summer, but now that the weather has cooled down and it is about to enter winter, how can you let the emperor drink herbal tea?
"Your Majesty, this tea is cold......"
"No need to change it." The emperor also took a sip.
