Chapter 90: Punishment

Emperor Tan coughed lightly, and walked towards the main hall of Jingren Palace with a calm face. "Come in with me!" When he walked in front of everyone, Xiao Yu heard this faint sentence, although it was an understatement, but it had an irresistible majesty.

Entering the main hall, the emperor and queen naturally sat on the top, and everyone still knelt on the ground. Emperor Tan looked at Concubine Xian, who was kneeling straight and upright below, and frowned: "Concubine Xian, no matter what the matter is, you get up first, and after you talk about it, you can deal with it as you want." You are kneeling like this now, but you are not convinced, and you are demonstrating to me? Well...! ”

Concubine Xian stretched out her hand to pull off the hairpin ring on her head, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has made a big mistake, and she knows that the palace rules are strict and it is difficult to escape, but the concubine hopes that the emperor will read the concubine's careful service for more than ten years, and let the concubine say a few words!" ”

Concubine Xian has always been strong, and her weak behavior hit the softness of Emperor Tan's heart. He couldn't help but think of the heroic, straightforward and sunny girl when he first met Concubine Xian. What made her slowly wear off her personality in the past ten years, put away her knives and guns, and became one of the many resentful women in the deep palace who were looking forward to his arrival?

He said with a soothing expression: "Concubine Xian, since this is the case, then you can tell me, what's going on?" ”

The queen said unhappily: "Your Majesty, the concubines also have something to say!" ”

Emperor Tan glanced at the queen lightly, and the queen's heart trembled, and the draft she had just typed was suddenly speechless. She took a deep breath and held back her words.

Seeing that the queen no longer spoke, Concubine Xian turned her head and called Aunt Jinrong to step forward.

"Jin Rong, you tell the emperor and the queen mother in detail about the situation you met in the imperial garden before, and you must not say half a lie!"

"The emperor, the queen's mother, the slave maid Jinrong is the aunt in charge of Jingren Palace. Today, because the two young ladies of the Marquis Mansion of Jing'an are entering the palace for the first time, Concubine Xian asked the slave maid to accompany the two young ladies to go to the imperial garden for a stroll ......", Aunt Jinrong knelt on the ground and told the story of what happened.

When Emperor Tan heard that the Lord of Yunhui did not let Qi Pan and the others get up, his brows furrowed imperceptibly. His niece and daughter are indeed too arrogant, Qi Pan's poor health since he was a child is due to the eldest princess, although outsiders don't know this, but he knows it.

Now, he finally grounded the eldest princess, but he didn't expect this Yunhui county lord to come out and mess around again.

When Aunt Jinrong said that after the county lord of Yunhui fainted in Qi Pan, instead of feeling guilty, she viciously said the words "sick seedlings, it's too bad luck to die", Emperor Tan and the queen's faces were very ugly, and the lady kneeling below was already in tears, and Concubine Xian also cried silently.

"Your Majesty, the concubines begged the emperor to administer justice for the concubines, but poor Pan'er had been dying since she was a child, and her life was hanging by a thread. The concubine was afraid that she had finally raised her so big, and only then did she see that she was getting better, and this kind of thing happened today. If Pan'er can't live, the concubine ..... The concubines only went with the hard-working children! The lady knelt down and let out a cry of sorrow.

Emperor Tan felt a headache when he saw his wife's true feelings, he saw that Concubine Xian's expression was only a little sad, and he knew that Qi Pan was no longer in trouble, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Otherwise, if the eldest lady of Jing'an Hou has three long and two short in the palace, I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy to explain.

He glanced at the queen, and the queen pursed her lips and said, "Mrs. Jing'anhou, the emperor lost her manners, what kind of system did she become?" This palace will not be held accountable if you reveal your true feelings at a moment's notice. Concubine Xian, you persuade Mrs. Jing'anhou! ”

When Emperor Tan heard the queen's blunt words, his heart became more and more displeased. He, the queen, has always been like this, he talks about the rules at every turn, and what he believes in the most is the female commandment.

It's not wrong to follow the rules, but it's a bit boring to not talk about the world at all.

Fortunately, Mrs. is a delicate and transparent person, and when she saw that the queen had spoken, she accepted it when she saw it, bowed her head and wiped her tears and knelt silently aside.

Emperor Tan spoke: "Who was serving by the county lord's side in the Imperial Garden at that time? As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged aunt flashed beside the queen, who was the one who persuaded the lord of Yunhui in the imperial garden at that time.

"Back to the emperor, the slave Lianxin was serving by the side of the county lord Yunhui at that time!" , Aunt Lianxin knelt on the ground and replied.

"What Fang Cai Jinrong said, is there a lie?" , Emperor Tan looked at Aunt Lianxin majestically.

"Back to the emperor, Jinrong is true to her words, and there is no lie!" , Lianxin lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Then I ask you, Yun Hui is so young, she has always been raised by the Queen Mother's side, how could she say such vicious words? But you slaves who instigated it? Emperor Tan slapped his chair and said angrily.

When Lianxin heard this, she immediately bowed down and kowtowed: "Back to the emperor, the county lord recently returned to the palace, and the queen pointed out the slaves and maids to follow the county lord to serve." The county lord Xu is young and naughty, and his temperament is a little anxious. The slaves and maids have been working hard to persuade the county lord, and they have also seen this matter with their own eyes! ”

Jin Rong, who was kneeling on the side, immediately nodded, confirming that Lianxin was not lying.

Lianxin said again: "As for what the county lord said, the slave doesn't know where she heard it. Xu is the county lord who went out of the palace to live some time ago, and the county lord is listening to those three religions and nine streams outside! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tan turned his head to look at the queen and said, "Zitong, since I have entrusted Yunhui to you, you should be attentive." With such a big girl's family, it's time to discipline and discipline. “

When the queen heard that Emperor Tan turned his head to reproach her, she was even more angry in her heart. She stood up with a snort, walked down as well, and suddenly raised her hand to take off the phoenix crown herself.

When the people around saw her suddenly, they all let out a small exclamation. Lianxin even rushed forward to hug the queen's leg and cried: "Niangniang can't help it! ”

Emperor Tan was also shocked by the queen's sudden move.

The queen was hugged by Lianxin and couldn't move, so she said loudly: "Your Majesty, today Concubine Xian is holding a long whip and driving straight from Kunning Palace. But if there is an obstacle, it is a whip, which hurts countless people, and makes the palace of the concubines jump. Concubine Xian's move not only offended the palace rules, but also despised the royal majesty, if she was not severely punished, where would the queen face of the concubine? Where is Your Majesty's face? Where is the royal face? ”

Emperor Tan was shocked when he heard this, he saw something strange today, but he only said that it was the child's anger that caused the dissatisfaction between the queen and Concubine Xian, but he didn't know that Concubine Xian broke into the palace! His surprised gaze shifted from the queen to Concubine Xian, staring at the woman who had impressed her again and again.

After listening to the queen, Concubine Xian raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is guilty of breaking into the palace. It's just that the life of the concubine's niece was hanging by a thread at that time, but the queen sent someone to summon Zhang Yuan to Kunning Palace halfway. In order to save my niece's life, I had no choice but to break into the palace. Fortunately, the concubines and nieces have escaped, and no matter how the emperor punishes them, the concubines are willing! ”

When Emperor Tan came to Jingren Palace, his mood was like a roller coaster. He raised his forehead with a headache and said, "What the hell is going on, can you explain it clearly at one time?" Concubine Xian, the Queen Mother gave you a whip because you accompanied the Queen Mother on that trip and was assassinated, and you had a meritorious role in escorting you. It's not for you to use it to break into Kunning Palace! Zitong, what are you going to Jingren Palace's Zhang Yuan to call to your palace for? “

The queen stood arrogantly in the hall and sneered: "Didn't the emperor see the crazy child of the Yunhui County Lord? Not long after Yun Hui returned from the Imperial Garden, she suddenly said that her body was extremely itchy. It was so itchy that she couldn't help but pick out a few blood marks on her face. Then it became more and more itchy, laughing maniacally, and behaving erratically. Naturally, I want to ask the Imperial Doctor to come to see me, so I can't let Yun Hui feel uncomfortable! ”

Emperor Tan said angrily: "Could it be that there is only one person sentenced by Zhang Yuan to be on duty in the Tai Hospital?" ”

At this moment, Aunt Jinxin beside Concubine Xian shouted: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid Jinxin has been serving Concubine Xian Niangniang in Jingren Palace, today is the imperial doctor invited by the slave maid to the hospital, and the slave maid has something to say!" ”

Emperor Tan waved his hand and said, "Quasi!" Jinxin took her to the Tai Hospital, invited to the Zhang Hospital, and was intercepted by the queen of Cui Gonggong on the way, and she begged bitterly but Cui Gonggong ignored the matter one by one.

Before Jinxin finished speaking, Gonggong Cui immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave was ordered to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor, and he met this Jinxin and Zhang Yuanju and Xiao Zhou all the way. When the old slave saw that she had invited two imperial doctors, he thought that the county lord's illness was strange, and he was afraid that it was an incurable disease, so he invited the more experienced imperial doctor Zhang to go! “

Although the two have different positions, what they say can corroborate each other, and it is obvious that there is no falsehood. As soon as Emperor Tan heard that there was still an imperial physician there, he asked, "Concubine Xian, since there is already an imperial physician in your palace, why do you still want to break into Kunning Palace?" ”

Before Concubine Xian could answer, a clear man's voice sounded at the end of the crowd: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to report!" Everyone looked back, who was the man kneeling at the end wasn't Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhou?

When Emperor Tan and the Empress arrived, Dr. Xiao Zhou, who was originally staring at the palace maid boiling medicine in the small kitchen of Jingren Palace, also came to greet him. It's just that at that time, everyone was attracted by the crazy Yunhui County Lord, and they didn't notice that he had been kneeling silently at the back.

Emperor Tan saw that he was carrying a medicine box, and he was young, and he knew that it was the Imperial Doctor of Xiao Zhou mentioned by Gonggong Cui, so he said: "Yes!" ”。

Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou straightened up and said: "Today was originally Wei Chen and Zhang Yuan sentenced to be on duty, first Jingren Palace came to report that the eldest lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion was dying, and Zhang Yuan sentenced Wei Chen to go to the consultation with him. Halfway through, this one..."

He pointed to Cui Gonggong and said: "This Cui Gonggong said that he was asked by the queen to go to Kunning Palace, and the county lord suddenly fell ill, which was very dangerous. Zhang Yuan originally asked Weichen to go to Kunning Palace, and he went to Jingren Palace first to treat the more serious Hou Mansion Lady. But this Cui Gonggong insisted on not allowing it, and insisted that Zhang Yuan go to Kunning Palace first! “
