It has always been difficult to hide secrets in the Forbidden City, and as long as they are announced, they are often leaked out carelessly.

The people of the Internal Affairs Office did not wronged Kunning Palace, but traced back to the source and found that it was precisely the little palace maid who sent a message to Pomegranate for the sisters in Ningshou Palace.

The two girls met again afterwards, and mentioned that recently people often give gifts to Concubine Ning, who are said to be worshippers, and just a "it is said" that they have pitted themselves.

Ao Bai said in the hall that he did send someone to give gifts to Concubine Ning, but he only heard that Concubine Ning was unwell and wanted to be filial to the deceased emperor.

Fu Quan couldn't hold back for a while, and said, "My mother is in good health, and the person who is sick is Concubine Chen." ”

Ao Bai hurriedly said to Xuan Ye: "Your Majesty, you see that the old minister can't even figure out which concubine in the palace is sick, so it is rumored that the old minister wants to collude with the concubine and concubine, what do these people want?" I'm afraid that there is someone behind the little palace maid who is instigated by someone with ill intentions and wants to trap the old minister in a place of great rebellion. ”

This is not over, the next morning court, Ao Bai suddenly cried in the court, saying that he remembered the first emperor, could not bear the grief, and wanted to go with the first emperor, and personally told the first emperor that he was killed by a traitor.

Because after yesterday's incident, Xuan Ye said to him: "Whether it is the palace maid of Kunning Palace, or the palace maid of Cining Palace and Qianqing Palace, it is just a few hearsay gossip. They made mistakes, naturally there are palace rules to deal with, Ao Taibao is magnanimous, don't take it to heart, thousands of troops and horses can't shake your eyelids, why bother for a few little palace maids. ”

However, Ao Bai said that the emperor must strictly correct the rules of the harem, and if he wants to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, he must kill chickens and monkeys, and use the life of the little palace maid in Kunning Palace to alert everyone.

Xuan Ye refused, and Ao Bai didn't make trouble at the time, but today he stood in the court and shed tears.

The emperor lost face, endured his anger and dispersed, and before he had time to change his clothes, he went to Cining Palace to discuss this matter with his grandmother.

However, I don't know if I was biased in my heart for Shu Shu, or if I knew that the troublemakers behind this matter couldn't get rid of it, Xuan Ye didn't complain about Shu Shu in his heart from the beginning, but when he came to Cining Palace at this moment, as soon as he entered the door, he saw her kneeling under the throne of the imperial grandmother, and he immediately felt distressed.

"Imperial grandmother." Xuan Ye stepped forward and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Shu Shu, Ao Bai wants to make a fuss, and he can do anything." ”

"Look at it, you can't get up, it's okay now, your emperor thinks that my old grandmother is bullying you." Yu'er reproached, "Don't you hurry up, do you really want me to be angry?" ”

Xuan Ye glared at Shu Shu: "What are you doing?" ”

Shu Shu staggered to his feet, and Xuan Ye unconsciously reached out to help him.

The small movements of the two children, Yu'er saw it in their eyes, and they all said that people's hearts are inherently biased, what is the way, like is like, and if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Xuan Ye is stronger than his grandfather and father, they love each other wildly, and on the other hand, they can still be entangled with the other side of the ambiguity, but Xuan Ye treats feelings much more simply.

Yu'er believed that Niu Hulu Lingzhao must have understood that he was disgusted by the emperor, but the original Bumu Butai couldn't let go of it, and decided that Huang Taiji also liked her.

Just when she was out of her mind, the little couple had already communicated, and Shu Shu knelt down, begging Yu'er to punish her for not governing her strictly, she wanted to save the little palace maid's life.

But Yu'er said ruthlessly that the life of the little palace maid is not a pity, and the heads of the emperor and queen cannot be lowered.

Xuan Ye was annoyed and deceived people too much: "Imperial grandmother, if Ao Bai stands in the court and cries again tomorrow, the grandson will be really unbearable?" ”

Yu'er said coldly: "Then let him cry, you send him to Xiaoling to cry, let him cry enough." ”

Xuan Ye's eyes flickered, he didn't have the courage to scold Ao Bai loudly, even if he imagined it countless times in his heart, he always had a sense to suppress himself, and he had to think about the things that followed.

Scolding is just a temporary pleasure, but it is likely to bring long-term trouble, and he has endured it to this point, and he can't fall short.

"Now, Ao Bai will try his best to force you to be angry with him, so that he can give him an excuse to attack." Yu'er said, "Is the emperor going to be fooled?" ”

Xuan Ye shook his head vigorously: "Sun Er can bear it." ”

Yu'er said: "Then don't care about the life of that little palace maid, take out some courage to kill and decide, whatever he wants, you will give him." Blame the palace maid for a hundred canes, and drag the half-dead little palace maid to the main hall tomorrow, and you let Ao Bai slash her to vent the hatred in his heart. ”

Xuan Ye and Shu Shu looked at each other, and Shu Shu pleaded again: "Imperial grandmother, that palace maid is only fifteen years old, and she ......"

Yu'er got up, it was time for her to worship the Buddha, walked over to Shu Shu, and tapped her daughter-in-law's forehead: "Remember in the future, take care of your own people, you need a few more pairs of eyes in the Forbidden City, and you yourself also need a few more eyes." ”

The two of them watched their grandmother leave stupidly, unable to speak for a long time, Xuan Ye was physically and mentally exhausted, sat aside, lowered his eyes and said, "The imperial grandmother has always been ruthless, otherwise how would she support the first emperor to support me to this day?" Shu Shu, don't be sad, bury that palace maid and treat her family well. ”

Shu Shu's heart turned over the river, and he didn't know how to speak, but he saw Su Mala enter the door and smiled gently: "Niangniang, if the slave can save the child, it depends on whether she wants to live." ”

The people who are responsible for punishing the palace maids and eunuchs in the Jingshifang have kung fu in their hands, they want people to die, a few boards can hurt the vital point, and if they want people to live, even if the skin is open, they can not hurt their lives.

The little palace maid can't escape the pain of flesh and skin, and the rod is a hundred, and often just listening to it can scare people to death.

In order to give Ao Bai an explanation, Shu Shu summoned Lingzhao and Rong Chang to them, and the palace maids and chief eunuchs from all over the palace were present.

The Wuyang in front of the Kunning Palace was full of people, listening to the muffled sound of the board slapping the flesh and the heart-rending cry of the little palace maid, all of them were like vegetables, but they were forced to open their eyes wide.

After more than 30 boards, the child had already fainted, and the people in the respectful room came to ask the queen to show whether to wake up and continue to fight, or to stay and fight later.

Shu Shu opened his mouth and said: "Spare her life first, wait for the Ao Taibao to fall, and the rest will be punished later." ”

The dying palace maid was dragged away, and the palace people who watched the execution also dispersed, Ling Zhao saluted Shu Shu and said goodbye, and when he looked up, he saw the queen looking at him intently.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she quickly calmed down and smiled: "Please take care of your body." ”

Shu Shu said: "Although my palace maid is at fault, the child next to Concubine Ning is also to blame, if she hadn't casually told Concubine Ning about what happened to outsiders, she wouldn't have caused trouble for my people." ”

"Yes." Ling Zhao replied.

"The rules in Ningshou Palace, you do it." Shu Shu said, "It has always been that you go in and out of Ningshou Palace more, and the emperor's mother will give you face." ”

Ling Zhao bowed his head: "The concubine receives the order." ”

After Shu Shu left, Dong Yun stepped forward to support Miss and said nervously, "Miss, what does the queen mean?" ”

Ling Zhao's eyes were cold: "The fact that she said, everyone knows that I go in and out of Ningshou Palace every day, and I know better than anyone what is going on in Ningshou Palace." But this is not enough to prove anything, if she had the ability to find out, she would not have made people panic in today's board. ”

Dongyun said timidly: "Is it really foolproof?" ”

Ling Zhao smiled at Dongyun: "You also look down on Ama too much, do you think he really relies on Ao Bai to get to where he is today?" ”

After that, the palace maid covered in blood was dragged to the main hall, and Xuan Ye said that Ao Bai could kill her with his own hands, but this time he stunned Ao Bai.

No matter how rampant he is, he can't kill people in the court, but it is precisely at this time that he shows generosity and tolerance, which is the bearing that an old minister of the three dynasties should have.

Ao Bai never expected that the emperor would do such a "absolute", and now he has made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, so he can only pretend to be generous, saying that this matter is just like that, the little palace maid can be a teenager, and she should not lose her life for a piece of right and wrong.

In fact, the thirty boards couldn't be beaten so badly, and the eunuchs in the respectful room showed mercy, and Su Mala sent someone to arrange everything, telling the kid that if he wanted to live, he should cooperate and make a scene.

Everything was as Shu Shu wished, and the palace maid's life was saved, but this matter was transferred from the palace maid to her, and then from her Hesheri Mansion, and some people even added fuel to the fire, saying that the queen deliberately framed Ao Bai for her grandfather Sony.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and overnight, the whole capital was rumored that the queen was misbehaving and framing the old minister.

On this day, Ling Zhao retired from Ningshou Palace, took the winter clouds around the gate of the imperial garden, walked to the West Sixth Palace, and met the palace maids who came to pick flowers from Kunning Palace outside the garden gate, and they respectfully saluted Concubine Zhao, saying that they came to collect the petals used by the queen mother to take a bath.

Ling Zhao let them go, and continued to move forward with Dong Yun, who said softly: "The queen mother is really leisurely, and everyone outside talks about her like that." ”

Ling Zhao said coldly: "Fool, is Ao Bai a loyal minister, and the people themselves don't have eyes to see?" Of course she didn't care anymore. ”
