Chapter 287: Punishment
"Who doesn't know that Empress Chen is jealous of Concubine Ling, but now she is not on the side of the concubine, and she can't wait to step on it! The concubine really hates herself for being too impulsive!"
"Mother, don't worry, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, why don't we also go to see my father together, and then the mother concubine will directly admit her mistake and ask Concubine Ling and her father to be gracious, maybe my father can still open up his past feelings. Hua Ling quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"Do you think this will work?" muttered the Virtuous Princess.
"Mother concubine rest assured, as long as the mother concubine begs her father vigorously, her father will definitely be soft-hearted. Seeing Hua Ling's determined face, Concubine Xian nodded as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanhua was summoning the courtiers, only to hear the noise outside, Emperor Xuanhua said unhappily: "Who is making noise outside!"
Gonggong Hong went out to take a look, and was taken aback, and the concubine's hair was scattered, and half of her delicate face in the past was now red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been beaten.
"Oh, mother, what's wrong with you?" Father-in-law Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, this palace wants to meet Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to be the master of your concubines!" Ling Concubine said with sadness in her eyes, holding Gonggong Hong's arm.
"Your Majesty is talking to the ministers inside, Niangniang waits, wait for the old slave to go and pass it on!"
When Emperor Xuanhua heard this, he motioned to Gonggong Hong to bring people with anger in his eyes, looked at the first few people and said: "Zhong Aiqing retreat, the unfinished business will be discussed tomorrow." ”
Everyone wondered in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask out loud, and they retreated one after another after giving a salute.
Concubine Ling entered the study, and when she saw Emperor Xuanhua, she cried even more: "Your Majesty save the concubine, Sister Xian is going to ruin the appearance of the concubine, and she will kill the concubine." ”
Seeing that the delicate and moving face of the past was now high and swollen, Emperor Xuanhua said in a distressed voice: "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"
Hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Concubine Ai, what does it have to do with Concubine Xian?"
Concubine Ling sobbed and said: "Today, Niangniang summoned the concubine's sister, and the concubine also stayed, but halfway through, the concubine and the concubine disagreed, and there was a conflict in words, and the concubine directly beat the concubine without saying a word." ”
"What did you say to provoke Concubine Xian?" Emperor Xuanhua asked with an uncertain expression.
"Concubine Xian said that the concubine's sister is timid and unworthy of marrying the fourth prince, and the concubine just helped her sister distinguish a few words, which angered Concubine Xian, Your Majesty, is the concubine going to be disfigured......? If that's the case, the concubine might as well be dead!" Ling Concubine hid her face and wept.
"Okay, don't cry concubine, the imperial doctor will come and let him see in a while, I will only look red and swollen, and it will definitely not break the appearance. Emperor Xuanhua, who made the concubine cry, was heartbroken, and Haosheng comforted.
"The concubine can't suffer in vain, Your Majesty has to make the decision for the concubine!" Concubine Ling stopped crying and looked at Emperor Xuanhua expectantly.
"Someone! Concubine Xuanxian is here!"
Xiao Xinda's marriage was Emperor Xuanhua's nod and agreed to let the queen summon people, and now that this has happened, Emperor Xuanhua's face is not good-looking.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang and Lord Hualing are asking to see you outside the palace. Hong Gonggong reported in a whisper.
"Xuan!"
After Concubine Xian entered the study, she saw Emperor Xuanhua sitting on the dragon chair with an angry face, Ling Fei's face was high and swollen, and the enemy's eyes were extremely red when they met, and Concubine Ling's wonderful eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire!
Seeing Concubine Xian, Emperor Xuanhua said angrily: "Concubine Xian, you are guilty!"
"Your Majesty's concubine knows that she is wrong, please ask Your Majesty to be merciful!" the virtuous concubine prostrate on the ground, pleading with a handful of tears with her nose.
"Concubine Xian, you have also been by my side for decades, and you are also an old man in the palace, as one of the four concubines, you don't want to take care of your sisters, but you hurt people for no reason, if I don't punish you, where will I put this palace rule. ”
Hua Ling, who was on the side, quickly knelt down and begged: "Father, the mother concubine doesn't know sincerity, and the mother concubine also regrets it, and I hope that my father will spare the mother concubine this time." ”
Seeing that Emperor Xuanhua didn't speak, Hua Ling knelt down to Concubine Ling and said: "Today, the concubine did something wrong on the spur of the moment, and she accidentally injured Concubine Ling, and I hope that Concubine Ling can forgive Concubine Ling." After saying that, he kowtowed to Concubine Ling a few times.
Concubine Ling's face was swollen and painful, and seeing that Hua Ling actually used a bitter trick to intercede for that slut, she only felt that her face hurt even more, and said coldly: "Princess Hua Ling, let's get up, princess Jin Zhi Yuye, if there is a good one, your mother will beat the palace if you provoke it, and the palace will be unbearable!"
"The mother concubine already knows that she is wrong, so let the mother concubine spare this time. ”
"Spare her!" Concubine Ling suddenly became angry, pointed to her cheek and said: "Princess Hualing, look at the face of this palace, it has become like this, whether it can go back to the original state is uncertain, is it just an unintentional move to be blinded!"
After Concubine Ling finished speaking, half of her injured face looked at Emperor Xuanhua: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine!"
Emperor Xuanhua saw that half of her face was now swollen badly, and hurriedly scolded: "What about the imperial doctor? Why haven't you come yet?"
"It's coming, it's coming. Gonggong Hong beckoned outward, and several imperial doctors rushed in.
The imperial doctor carefully looked at Concubine Ling's injury and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling's injury seems to be dangerous, but as long as you apply the medicine well, it will definitely not hinder your recovery after medical conditioning." ”
Emperor Xuanhua waved and motioned for the imperial doctor to go and dispense medicine, and after the people left, Emperor Xuanhua looked at Concubine Xian and said: "Concubine Xian has no virtue and is not worthy of being my fourth concubine, and now I will put Concubine Xian into the ......."
"The Fourth Prince has arrived. The attendant outside the hall interrupted Emperor Xuanhua's words with a loud chant.
"Father, concubine, mother. Xiao Xinda saluted everyone.
Seeing him, Emperor Xuanhua's anger subsided a little and asked, "Fourth, why are you here?"
"Erchen went to see his mother, and the palace people said that his mother was here with his father, so Erchen hurried over. ”
"You came just in time, your mother attacked Concubine Ling, and I was about to punish her. ”
"Father, the minister heard about the concubine on the way here, and this matter was all caused by the marriage of the son-in-law, and the concubine is also deeply responsible for love, and I hope that the father can let the concubine go this time. ”
"Xiangbi's mother also knows that she is wrong, and this will definitely not happen again in the future. Xiao Xinda pleaded with Emperor Xuanhua with a solemn face.
Just now, Emperor Xuanhua's order to enter the cold palace almost blurted out, but fortunately, the fourth prince came to take it back, Rao is so, he has scared Concubine Xian out of her body, and now when she heard Xiao Xinda intercede for herself, she almost cried.
In the past, he was too mean to Da'er, but he didn't expect Da'er to ignore his previous suspicions, and at a critical time, he pleaded with Emperor Xuanhua's anger, and Concubine Xian's heart was mixed, and all kinds of expressions of regret and gratitude appeared.
Seeing that Emperor Xuanhua turned his gaze to herself, Concubine Xian nodded again and again: "I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness, the concubine will never dare again." ”
