Chapter 319: Zhou Qing was imprisoned

"Queen Mother, Xiang'er is fine, just take a rest." The eldest princess said with a smile.

"How can this work, I must ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

As soon as she heard that she was going to invite a doctor, the eldest princess panicked and quickly shook her head.

"Queen Mother, Xiang'er is really fine, you don't need to ask the doctor to come and see her."

The queen has lived in the palace for decades, and she has never seen anything like this, her own daughter is like this, she knows that her daughter is afraid and hiding something.

"Okay, don't ask for a doctor, but tomorrow is not good, you must ask for a doctor." The queen said.

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response.

"If you are not feeling well, the queen mother will not bother you, you can rest well." The queen smiled and left.

Walking out of the palace of the eldest princess, the queen instructed the maids beside her: "Go and find the maids who are waiting for the eldest princess today." ”

The maid nodded, turned and went to find someone.

The next day, Zhou Qing finished the morning court, and just after leaving the main hall, a eunuch came over.

"Lord Zhou, the queen is invited."

When Zhou Qing heard that the queen was looking for him, he frowned slightly, guessing in his heart that it should be related to yesterday's events, and he was also prepared in his heart.

When she came to the queen's palace, the queen asked all the maids to retreat.

After the maids retreated, the queen stared at Zhou Qing.

"Do you know why this palace is looking for you?"

"The minister knows." Zhou Qing bowed his head and replied.

"You are so bold, you dare..."The queen couldn't say the latter words, because it was too difficult to say.

Zhou Qing, who knew that it was his daughter's calculation, but in the matter of men and women, it was the woman who suffered. Xiang'er did this, how could she marry someone else, she could only marry Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing immediately knelt on the ground, and then said, "It's the princess who gave her courtiers..."

"You..." the queen's eyes widened, she didn't expect Zhou Qing to say this.

"A minister will not marry a princess." Zhou Qing said.

The queen clenched her hands and looked at Zhou Qing angrily.

"You're not afraid that this palace will kill you?"

"The queen wants to kill or chop, listen to the respect, and the minister is meaningless." Zhou Qing was in pain, but he couldn't marry a princess.

"Come on, Zhou Qing confronted the palace and locked me up."

Soon, two people came in.

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, and followed the people who came in, he already knew that this would be the result.

Soon, the news that Zhou Qing was locked up by the queen reached the eldest princess.

The eldest princess immediately rushed to the queen's palace.

"Eldest princess, the queen doesn't see anyone today, eldest princess, please go back!"

"Get out of the way, this palace wants to see the queen mother." She wanted to ask why the queen mother locked up Zhou Qing.

"Eldest princess, please don't embarrass the slave." The maid bowed her head.

Seeing this, the eldest princess directly pushed the maid away, and then went in.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly followed, and said while chasing: "Princess, princess..."

The grandmother beside the queen came out and gave the maid a look, and the maid immediately shut up and retreated.

The eldest princess looked at the grandmother in front of her and said, "Grandma, this palace wants to see the queen mother." ”

"The queen mother commanded, if you don't see the princess, the princess should please go back!"

The eldest princess instantly understood that the queen mother did it on purpose, and she knelt directly on the ground.

Seeing this, Mama frowned.

"Princess, you are ......"

"If you can't see the queen mother in this palace today, you won't get up in this palace."

After hearing this, Mama sighed, turned around and went in to report to the queen.

The queen held her forehead, and a maid massaged her on the side, and when she saw her mother coming in, she asked.

"Are you gone?"

"Back to the queen, the princess knelt outside, saying that if you don't see the princess, the princess won't get up."

After hearing this, the queen showed an angry look on her face.

"Let her kneel."

Seeing the queen like this, Mama frowned slightly, but didn't dare to say anything.

The eldest princess knelt down all morning, and the queen still didn't mean to let go. The maid beside the eldest princess saw that the princess's face was not very good, so she stepped forward to persuade her.

"Eldest princess, you can't stand it if you go on like this, let's go back!"

The eldest princess ignored it, her eyes looked at the door, but she didn't get up, she didn't believe that the queen mother would be so cold and ruthless.

At lunchtime, Mama came out.

"Eldest princess, get up and go back! Even if you kneel for a day, the queen will not see you. ”

The eldest princess shook her head: "I must see the queen mother." ”

Mama sighed, this eldest princess has the same temperament as the queen.

Outside the palace, the housekeeper saw that the young master had not returned, so he sent someone to inquire, and after learning that the young master was locked up by the queen, he was very anxious.

Zhou Yiran learned that Zhou Qing was locked up in the early afternoon, but she couldn't do anything. After all, she has no power, and there are only a few people she knows when she first comes to the capital, but she thinks of the three princes, Zhou Qing is the person of the three princes, so she should save Zhou Qing!

Thinking of this, she was half relieved.

In the Three Princes' Mansion, the Three Princes are still checking why Zhou Qing is locked up after his mother, but no matter how he investigates, he just doesn't know what Zhou Qing did. But it's not like there's no clue at all.

According to the investigation, the eldest princess went to Zhou Qing's mansion yesterday and felt unwell after returning to the palace in the afternoon, so Zhou Qing must have been locked up because of the eldest princess.

Thinking of this, the third prince was not in a hurry, because someone was more anxious than him, so he still did not wade into this troubled water.

However, this incident still alarmed the emperor, and the emperor who handled the matter went directly to the queen's palace.

Looking at the eldest princess kneeling on the ground, the emperor frowned.

When the eldest princess saw her father, she immediately cast her hope on her father.

"Father's ......"

"You get up first and go back to the palace." Seeing that his daughter's face was not good, he was still very distressed.

He has many sons in his life, and there are only two or three daughters, so he feels sorry for his daughter, and the one he loves the most is this eldest princess.

"Go back, princess! You've been on your knees for almost a day, and you can't stand it anymore. The maid also came up at this time to persuade her.

The eldest princess looked at her father, she believed that her father could get Zhou Qing out, so she nodded and let the maid help her back.

When the emperor entered, the queen knew that he was coming, so she saluted and sat aside.

The emperor walked over and sat down beside her.

Don't look at the emperor and queen are forty or fifty years old, the relationship between the two is still good, and the queen manages the harem in an orderly manner, and the emperor has a good impression of the queen.

"Why did you lock up Zhou Qing?"

"Contradicting the concubine, the concubine will naturally lock him up."

"You've never been like that, did something happen this time?" The emperor knows the queen very well, and he will not be so unreasonable in doing things, there must be something that touches her bottom line.

The queen looked at the emperor and was very reluctant to say, after all, this is about her daughter's reputation.

"What else can't I say, could it be that kid bullying our family?"

The queen nodded: "Xiang'er is now twenty-five, and if she doesn't marry, she will really become an old girl, I don't understand, why this Zhou Qing is unwilling to marry Xiang'er, what's wrong with Xiang'er." ”

The queen was very angry, if it weren't for her daughter's fear that her daughter would be sad, she would have cut Zhou Qing a long time ago.

After listening to the queen's words, the expression on the emperor's face was a little abnormal, but it quickly disappeared and smiled.

"My daughter, even if she becomes an old woman, someone will marry, so don't worry, queen."

"Your Majesty, a woman's youth can't afford to be consumed, if you really wait until you are thirty or forty years old to get married, you will definitely not be favored at that time, Your Majesty, you know this best." There was something else in the queen's words.

Although she is now the queen and is highly respected by the emperor, but when she is old, she is old, and men say it well, but she still can't resist the temptation of those young girls.

"Ahem......" The emperor's face couldn't help but turn red, to avoid embarrassment, he avoided this topic and said Zhou Qing directly.

"Zhou Qing, when are you going to be locked up?"

"When he is willing to marry Xiang'er's concubine, he will let him go." These words were said by looking at the emperor.

Why didn't Zhou Qing marry Xiang'er, most of the reason is the emperor, the queen has already found out, it was the emperor who obstructed Zhou Qing.

As for why, the reason is particularly ridiculous, that is, the emperor loves his daughter and does not want his daughter to marry. I don't know, I think this emperor has a quirk.

The queen is also forcing the emperor to let go by doing this.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then said, "I ...... tomorrow."

This is where the conversation stops.

The queen clenched her hands and asked, "What is the emperor going to do tomorrow?" ”

"It's nothing, I remember that there are still some things that I haven't dealt with, so I'll go over first." After saying this, the emperor turned around and fled from here.

The emperor did not go back, but turned around and went to the prison.

In the prison.

Zhou Qing sat in the corner, his head bowed, motionless.

"The emperor has arrived", he frowned and raised his head, watching the prison door being opened, and then the emperor walked in, and he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The minister has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live."

"Get up!"

Someone came over with a chair behind him, and the emperor looked at Zhou Qing after sitting down.

"Tell me what you did to make the queen angry."

Zhou Qing looked at the emperor, thought for a while, and then replied: "The minister and the princess had a gift of Duke Zhou yesterday. ”

Zhou Qing is gambling, anyway, it's tiring to live like this.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the emperor was so angry that he gave his face, and when he stood up, he kicked Zhou Qing in the abdomen.

"You bastard, I'm going to cut off your head."

"The minister is not afraid of death, and the emperor wants to kill him." Zhou Qing has had enough of these days, and he plans to let it go.

"You... You... I have to cut you today, come on, drag Zhou Qing out for me......"

"The emperor is angry." Even if the father-in-law interrupted the emperor's words, if he said this, he would not be able to collect it.

The emperor gritted his teeth, his heart was on fire, and he suddenly felt that it was not worth it to let him die like this.

"Tie him up for me."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, two people immediately went over and pressed Zhou Qing to the torture room and tied him to the cross.

The emperor looked at the person in front of him, stretched out his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Give me a whip." ”

He had to beat Zhou Qing with nine hundred and eighty-one whips to relieve his hatred, and he actually dared to sleep with his daughter, and he was unwilling not to kill him.

When he got the whip, he threw it vigorously on Zhou Qing's body, and the father-in-law on the side looked at it and felt pain.

The whip flung Tai Zhou Qing's body, and he didn't say a word.
