Verse 42
Wanfu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said lightly, "Let the Duchess of Ningguo lose her dignity so much and annoy the family, so she naturally asks the emperor for her guilt." ”
……
At this time, Qiankun Palace
After Chen Dehai finished what Ling Cairen had done in Xianfu Palace, cold sweat poured out from his forehead.
It's just that Ling Cairen is usually bold and reckless, so why should he still cause trouble for the emperor at this juncture. The emperor has the intention to dispose of the family, but now the family is still intertwined, controlling half of the power in the court, although the Lingcai people only let the Duchess of Ningguo lose her dignity, but it is the entire family that is offended. If the emperor does not dispose of the talented people and give an explanation to the family, then he will lose the prestige of the royal family.
"She's really majestic!"
Li Xuanyin scolded angrily, brushed down the inkstone on the imperial case, and smashed it right at Chen Dehai's feet, and the ink splashed, making Chen Dehai look frightened.
"The emperor is angry, Ling Cai has always been measured, presumably this time there is a reason for it." Remembering that the people of Ling Cai gave him many benefits on weekdays, Chen Dehai did not hesitate to say a few good words for the people of Ling Cai.
Li Xuanyin sneered, "I have warned her many times, challenging my bottom line again and again!" ”
Chen Dehai muttered in his heart, although Ling Cairen challenged again and again, the emperor didn't let her challenge while retreating, and this bottom line was almost gone, but he didn't dare to say this.
The hall was quiet, and only the ambergris incense curling in the furnace calmed people's hearts.
After a long time, I listened to the emperor's cold voice and ordered: "Before the palace gate was locked, I watched the Liu family. ”
Chen Dehai was taken aback, and then hurriedly responded, and could not help but sigh at the emperor's favor for the Ling Cai people, even if the Ling Cai people made such a fuss, the emperor was angry, and subconsciously wanted to protect the people.
When the palace was locked, it was already late, and at that time, the Duchess of Ning Guo had the heart to ventilate to the family and complain, and she had to wait until tomorrow. The remaining time is enough for the emperor to deal with this matter clearly. The emperor is a saint and cannot be biased in the open, but he can move his hands and feet in private, and no one can see it.
As he was closing the door of the temple, he saw from afar a woman with long hair like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders, and plain makeup. When I looked at it, my heart jumped for a moment, isn't this a talented person, he just broke into a big disaster, and the emperor is still angry, why did he come here!
Before he could figure it out, he saw the figure in the distance standing at the foot of the ninth-level white marble steps, his hands half-lifted his skirt, and he knelt on the ground, "The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor!" ”
Chen Dehai's heart jumped again, and he figured out that Ling Cairen was asking the emperor for guilt, this outfit and such a posture are really rare in the favored Ling Cairen. However, Ling Cairen's trick is the place of death, and the next life is also clever, after beating someone with the front foot, the back foot will come to confess, and others are angry, but Ling Cai people have confessed, what can they blame.
He didn't have the time to think about it, so he summoned a little eunuch and asked him to take someone to Xianfu Palace to stop Duchess Ning Guo, who was leaving the palace, and turned back to the main hall by himself.
Before he could speak, he saw the emperor raise his eyes at him and said lightly: "She's here?" ”
The emperor really knows Ling Cairen, you can guess this.
He sneered, not daring to spy on the holy face at this time, and replied truthfully: "Lingcai people know that they are very wrong, and they plead guilty at the bottom of the stairs. ”
Li Xuanyin paused, pinched her eyebrows impatiently, "Let her kneel!" ”
"I spoil her so much that she doesn't know the sky, the earth, and the earth!"
Chen Dehai did not dare to say anything back, how could the emperor favor Ling Cairen, he was a person who served in front of the emperor, and he saw it with a clear eye, but if he lacked such a little holy favor, Ling Cai Ren would not dare to act so arrogantly today.
Li Xuanyin's finger bones knocked on the imperial case, and after a while, he spoke, "Cheng Yin Ying will see you in the imperial history." ”
The Imperial Historical Observatory was used to satirize the conduct of the courtiers, and the emperor actually used the Imperial Historical Observatory for the sake of talented people. Chen Dehai did not dare to delay, responded to the order, bowed down and withdrew from the main hall.
……
It didn't take long for the disturbance in Xianfu Palace to spread throughout the harem. At that time, the queen was sitting in the imperial garden with several concubines to enjoy the flowers, and the first to be believed was Chen Changzai. Chen Changzai originally asked people to go to the imperial dining room to get some fruits, but she didn't expect to hear such a joke, she had been jealous of Ling Cai for a long time, and how could she fall into the well at this time.
"What kind of letter did Chen Changzai get and smile so happily?" Liu Baolin had already seen the palace maids who came in whispering in Chen Chang's ear, and not only she saw it, but also the concubines present.
Chen Changzai pinched the handkerchief to cover his lips and smiled, "If the concubine says it with a smile like this, it will lose the dignity of the royal family. ”
She asked the palace maid to tell the story of the Xianfu Palace one by one, and the concubines who heard the news had complicated faces for a while, and looked at each other, they had been in the palace for a long time, and they had never seen anything, and this kind of thing was indeed the first time they had heard of it. How can there be a concubine who slaps her mouth and burns her clothes in front of the women outside the palace, and when she says it, it doesn't make people laugh.
The queen's previously peaceful face rarely had a little anger, and her palm slapped the table, "Ling Cairen is too presumptuous!" ”
The queen was angry, and Lu Changzai didn't dare to laugh anymore, although the queen seemed to have a gentle temperament, after all, she was the lord of the six palaces, and her majesty still existed, and the concubines present were silent and did not dare to say anything more.
"Where are the people of Lingcai now?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and replied tremblingly, "Ling Cairen...... Ling Cairen has already gone to Qiankun Palace to plead guilty. ”
When everyone heard this, they were surprised again, this talented person just hit someone and went to ask the emperor for guilt, is this presumptuous, or obedient......
……
When Cheng heard of the emperor's order, he thought that something serious had happened in the court, and he did not dare to delay, so he rushed into the palace without stopping. When the first emperor was there, he was the eyeliner that the emperor placed in the court, and he was only loyal to the emperor.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has dealt with the chronic diseases in the court with vigorous measures, but he has been idle, and rarely let the emperor be summoned to the palace in such a hurry.
He brushed his sleeves and hurried all the way under the guidance of the little eunuch, wondering in his heart what the emperor had summoned him to do, the palace was about to be locked, and before he left, he also explained to his wife at home, and the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, and it would take two or three hours to say the least, and I am afraid that he would not be able to return to the house tonight.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, I couldn't help but want the little eunuch to reveal something. The people who serve in front of the emperor have this ability, they can be sloppy, and their mouths are very strict. After asking for a long time, the little eunuch Gu left and right to talk about him, and simply did not speak again.
Before he could get close to the hall, he saw a slender figure kneeling under the ninth-level white marble steps. Ever since he had followed the emperor, he had been busy with official business all day long, and he had to unload the lamp and read the papers at night, and over time this look was not very good, and he was about to see which unlucky colleague had been punished, when he saw the man's long hair fluttering in the autumn breeze, revealing a woman's beautiful face.
This is a colleague, who is clearly the mother of the palace!
Suddenly, he looked away, and silently said a few words in his heart, God bless, he really looked at it because his eyes were not good, and he must not let it reach the ears of others, otherwise the emperor would punish him for a small matter, and then let his wife know that he would have to stay in the study all night.
Yin Ying went up the steps, dressed slightly, and entered the main hall under the pass of the little eunuch.
……
Wanfu knelt for more than half an hour, and then saw the little eunuch leading a courtier up the imperial steps, but unfortunately she did not know anything about the previous dynasty and did not know who that person was.
After kneeling for too long, Wanfu's legs were numb, heavy and heavy, her small face gradually turned white from exertion, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
For such a long time, the main hall has not moved.
Qian Dai wiped the thin sweat from her master's forehead with a handkerchief, and felt unbearable: "If the slave and maid go to the emperor, it is not a way for the master to kneel down like this." ”
The master really made too much trouble this time, and he was afraid that he would really provoke the anger of the saint, and the emperor would not like it, so how would the master live in the future.
Wanfu's eyes moved slightly, and she shook her head, "No, I can't go." ”
In the past, there was a small fight, so that the envoy was just a child, this time it was involved in the previous dynasty, even if the emperor favored her, he had to give an explanation to the previous dynasty. At this time, playing petty and acting arbitrarily will all add to the annoyance of men. On the contrary, the longer she knelt, the more tolerant and merciful the emperor would treat her.
……
After more than half an hour, Yu Shi Zhongcheng left, Chen Dehai came in to serve tea, and looked at the emperor's face. The emperor is always cold and majestic.
Chen Dehai saw a chill that was even colder than before, he took a breath, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Ling Cairen is still kneeling outside!" ”
Li Xuanyin's hand in the pen paused.
Chen Dehai noticed that he added another fire, "I have been kneeling for two hours, and I have been crying, and the slave really knows that it is wrong when he looks at Ling Cairen this time." ”
Chapter 38
Wanfu knelt for a long time, got up and her legs were stiff and numb for a while, and she barely got up with the support of Qiandai.
Chen Dehai was so vague that he revealed, "The emperor still feels sorry for the master, but the master must not be angry with the emperor again."
Wanfu glanced at him gratefully, and asked Qiandai to give her a reward, "Thank you, Grandpa Chen." ”
Chen Dehai accepted it with a smile, "Master, slow down, the slave will let people go to the Imperial Hospital, and let the Imperial Doctor come over quickly."
……
Wanfu knelt for two hours, her spirit was not good, the green silk was scattered over her shoulders, her makeup was removed, and her face became more and more clean and fair, and she was pitiful.
The door of the temple opened, and Wanfu limped into the hall without letting anyone help her, her slender figure described as miserable, and her red eyes became more and more pitiful.
As soon as Li Xuanyin saw her embarrassed appearance, the fire in her heart was blocked in her chest for a while, and she couldn't go up or down, and she couldn't get out. It was a little absurd to think that this person had been bullied by the master mother in the Ningguo Mansion for a long time, and once she gained power, it would not hurt for her to be arrogant for two days. Left and right he has to clean up the family, sooner or later, it is not a big deal.
It's just a momentary thought, but in the end, this woman is pampered and arrogant, and it is a fact that she dares to beat the courtier's wife today, who else does he want to beat in the future!
Li Xuanyin's face sank, and his lowered eyebrows were terrifying.
Wanfu was not as unruly as before, and she blessed the king with dignity, but her legs were sore, and when she bent her knees, her knees hurt and she sat down on the ground.
She didn't cry, she struggled to bend her knees, and even though her face turned pale from pain, she didn't cry.
This pain is nothing compared to the suffering that has been suffered.
The tears that were shed before the saints in the past were never true.
"The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor."
Li Xuanyin didn't fail to see her gritted teeth and hold on, this person has always been squeamish, but at this time he was so stubborn that he refused to give in to him.
I don't know why, the more Li Xuanyin looked at her well-behaved appearance, the more she felt panicked.
I learned that the moment she beat Liu, although he was angry, he was still subconsciously partial to her, let Chen Dehai watch Liu, and then passed on the imperial Shitai to enter the palace and suppress the impeachment of tomorrow.
Li Xuanyin thought in his heart, but he completely forgot that the concubine's mistake should have been like this, and he was used to this person's coquettish pleading, so he realized that the rules made by this person at this time were making a fuss.
He kept his face calm, "Punishment, how do you want me to punish you?" ”
"It's lawless!"
Wanfu lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, but those eyes were more and more red and distressing.
Seeing that she was speechless, Li Xuanyin hit the cotton with a fist, this person is relying on his momentum to be so unscrupulous.
"You say, how am I going to punish you?"
The last time I beat her, she cried non-stop, and if she was not severely punished, it was not enough to calm people's hearts, and she was severely punished, and this woman was very afraid of the pain.
Li Xuanyin's finger bones knocked on the case, and the fire in his heart became more and more intense.
Wanfu didn't cry, but her voice was muffled, with grievances, and her forehead touched the ground, "The concubine doesn't want the emperor to be embarrassed, and the concubine is willing to go to Xianfu Palace to ask Duchess Ningguo for guilt." ”
Ten steps and one knock is indeed a calming method, but this woman has just finished beating someone, and now she is going back, isn't she falling into someone's hands.
He really didn't know what to say about her, she was so stupid!
Before Li Xuanyin could open his mouth, he saw that the man's arms were trembling, and bright red blood stains were fainting under his plain white shirt. It's really stupid, beating people to make yourself so embarrassed, and you have to endure the grievances and be punished.
Li Xuanyin couldn't say a word of reprimand, he rubbed the white jade wrench of his thumb impatiently, and said to the outside with a cold face: "Go and pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Chen Dehai had already expected that the emperor was reluctant to suffer from the Lingcai people, and the imperial doctor was on the way, and soon entered the Qiankun Palace. ”
The Imperial Doctor did not dare to delay.
Wanfu was stunned, the emperor invited a doctor for her, and it was better than she expected. At least although the emperor was angry, he didn't really dislike her.
The imperial physician looked at Wanfu's knees and the scratches on her hands and arms, and said: "The talented master is fine, but he is overly worried and depressed, which makes his body weaker and weaker. Heart disease still requires heart medicine, and the master still needs to look at everything. ”
The imperial doctor left with the medicine box, and Wanfu took the medicine on her arm, which was cool and not very painful.
She blinked her eyes and knew that it was time to cry, and tears fell from her eyes.
The whispered sobbing is even more distressing.
