The Empress Dowager Bailian heard Concubine Li talking bad about Leng Gongxue to the emperor, raised her crutches and scolded: "You fox spirit, you know all day long to confuse the emperor and frame the concubines in the palace, if the queen is not framed by you, how can she send the prince out of the palace, now, the prince is back in the palace, you are still lying to confuse the public, see if I don't kill you." The Empress Dowager White Lotus beat her with a stick.

Concubine Li was so frightened that she shouted: "The Queen Mother is angry, I don't dare anymore," Concubine Li held her head and shouted: "The emperor quickly save me, I didn't mean to offend the Queen Mother." The emperor also resented Concubine Li, and said angrily: "Concubine Li, I take you best on weekdays, and you actually have ill intentions, want to kill my child, and waste my love for you, today, even if the Queen Mother kills you, I will not save you, all of this is your own fault." ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't help her, Concubine Li shouted in fright: "The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life." "The Empress Dowager Bailian hated this pear concubine to death, every year it was this fox spirit who made the chickens and dogs in the palace restless, and now she can't walk, and she still has bad habits, she really hates the top of her head, and the old lady's crutch hit her head and face. Concubine Li screamed in pain.

Bai Lian was even more disgusted when she heard Concubine Li's howl, she scolded: "Fox spirit, if you dare to scream again, I will beat you to death, I just punish you, you are not allowed to make a sound, do you know that the Lotus Queen has endured the pain for so many years without screaming, can't you bear this pain?"

Concubine Li said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, I can bear it, you can beat it, I deserve it." Seeing Concubine Li, she hugged her head tightly and scolded angrily: "Take your hand down and slap your mouth, in the future, if you dare to slander others again, I will not spare your life." ”

Concubine Li shouted in her mouth: "Queen Mother, spare your life, I don't dare anymore, while slapping her mouth." At this time, the emperor's arrogance not only did not disappear, but became even more angry, he turned to point to the lotus flower and said: "You sent my son outside the palace, concealed me for 20 years, and committed the crime of defrauding the king, I will punish you, from now on, you are no longer the queen, I will give the position of the queen to the concubine who is loyal to me." ”

The Lotus Queen was very calm when she heard what Emperor Luster said, she knelt down and said: "Thank you Emperor for your kindness, the concubines have known that there will be such a day, and finally the concubines can finally relieve all the duties of the queen." After speaking, the lotus flower stood up. walked up to Leng Gongxue and said: "Son, it was my mother who couldn't stand you and let you leave the palace for more than twenty years, but this is very good for you, the battle and darkness in the palace have not affected your mind, and your mother is happy that you can still have a pure heart." ”

Leng Gongxue held her mother's hand and said excitedly: "Mother, child, thank you for your good intentions for me, your protection and love for your son, my son will never forget, my son will protect his mother and repay his mother's kindness." ”

Glossy originally liked Leng Gongxue very much, but since he saw that Leng Gongxue had made a big fuss about Nangong Tianjiao, he felt disgusted in his heart, although he already knew that Leng Gongxue was his son, but when he thought that he and Zhang Sanfeng were also father and son, he felt disgusted. At this time, when he heard that Leng Gongxue and Lotus were so intimate, he was even more annoyed.

Luster pointed at Leng Gongxue and shouted: "Since you want to repay your mother, go with her and leave here, as if I had never seen you." Leng Gongxue looked at the emperor, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he said indifferently: "Okay, I left with my mother, and I never thought of living in the palace, I have my own place to go." ”

After Leng Gongxue finished speaking, she turned around and grabbed the lotus flower and said, "Mother, let's go, I'll take you out of here, don't be angry with the emperor." Seeing that Leng Gongxue not only did not ask for herself, but also openly reprimanded with a provocative tone: "Bold Leng Gongxue, you actually openly provoke my majesty in front of me, which is a great rebellion." I will punish you mother and son now, and let you know the consequences of confronting the king. As he spoke, Luster instructed the eunuch on the side: "The palace law is serving." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave reminded the emperor that the palace law execution is very cruel, and the queen and the crown prince are the closest people to the emperor, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to use palace punishment." When the emperor saw that the eunuch dared to disobey the order, he shouted: "Gonggong Li, do you want to disrespect the order? If you dare to disobey the order, I will put you in prison." ”

The eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, how dare the old slave resist and disobey the order, it's just that the queen has always treated the old slave well, she is kind and loyal, and she is loyal to the emperor, how can the emperor bear to use the law against the queen? Also, the emperor has been looking forward to having a son inherit the throne in the future for so many years, and now, the prince is standing here alive, and the emperor should be happy." “

Luster looked up and saw Leng Gongxue looking at him with his head held high, there was no trace of compromise and regret in his eyes, and he slowly protested, and he said in his heart: "Go, use the palace punishment, otherwise you will be dealt with together." “

The eunuch stood up helplessly, walked up to the lotus and said, "Queen, the old slave is incompetent, he can't protect the queen and the prince, so he can only die and apologize." After speaking, Gonggong Li turned around and hit a stone pillar headlong. Zhang Sanfeng on the side was moved by this loyal eunuch, he saw that things were not good, he raised his hand, the spiritual power was released, Gonggong Li was sucked back by Zhang Sanfeng, he tried several times without success, and he was so angry that he slapped his mouth and scolded: "I, a slave who deserves death, can't help the emperor, can't help the queen and the prince, what's the point of my life." After saying that, he hugged his head and cried.

At this time, the emperor had already sent another eunuch to send a decree to punish the queen and Leng Gong Xue. I saw a few guards bring lotus and cold palace snow to a platform outside the palace, and several executed servants came to the lotus with bamboo clips.

The lotus face was fearless, she said coldly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, for so many years, I have been a superfluous chess piece by your side, you always eat tastelessly and abandon it as a pity, you have broken my heart countless times, and I still wait by your side, but I have never been able to move you, fortunately, my son has grown up, and my forbearance for so many years has been successful, even if I die at this time, I have no regrets." As she spoke, Lotus put her hands into the bamboo clip.

When Leng Gongxue saw this, she shouted: "Don't be punished, I'll be punished for my mother." Saying that, Leng Gongxue didn't wait for the execution of the slavery to react, and held the bamboo clamp and pulled out her mother's hand. At this time, Concubine Xing was distressed on the side, she knelt down in front of the emperor and cried: "Your Majesty, the queen's sister is so weak, how can she resist the palace punishment, let's spare my sister." ”

The emperor glared at Concubine Xing and said, "Concubine Xing, you are the most honest on weekdays and have no quarrel with the world, this is also what I like about you, so don't be nosy, push it aside." Seeing that the emperor ignored herself, Concubine Xing stood up and ran to the lotus, kept the lotus and said: "Sister, but my sister will be punished for you, you are so good to me on weekdays, and now my sister is in trouble, and my sister is willing to sacrifice herself to save her." Lotus smiled and said, "Sister, thank you, you can say that, my sister is satisfied." “

Leng Gongxue had already inserted his hand into the bamboo clip at this time, and the slave of the execution screamed and clamped the bamboo clip hard, Leng Gongxue's fingers were immediately pinched, and blood flowed out of the clip. Lotus looked at her son and shouted in distress: "Son, you have suffered, and it is your mother who has harmed you." The lotus cried, and the apricot concubine also cried.

The Queen Mother didn't expect these people to really punish Leng Gongxue, she felt sorry for Leng Gongxue for a while, and at that time, her anger surged upward, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and her body shook and fell to the ground.
