No matter how many pairs of eyes fell on him, Xue Xiangrong still straightened his back and allowed himself to become the target of public criticism.
Although she felt uncomfortable and painful as if she was bleeding, she was also thinking about her Xiao Yu'er and Yan'er.
They were almost killed by Lan Jie, who was under Xue Yingxue's personal care.
It was satisfying to watch Jiang Huaijing personally punish Xue Yingxue, but she had to take matters into her own hands to seek justice for her child, and to find a way for good and evil to be rewarded!
Jiang Zao didn't know what his mother was thinking, he only thought that she was soft-hearted and wanted to help Xue Yueshan.
[Dear mother, please don’t be soft-hearted! This bad old man stabbed my mother in the heart and even tried to save that bad woman! Dear mother, you have a baby, a brother, and an emperor father, but you must not be soft-hearted! Daddy loves you, baby loves you~]
Jiang Zao huddled in Xue Xiangrong's arms, his mouth slightly open, babbling as if to say something, and his chubby little paws touched Xue Xiangrong's cheek comfortingly.
As Xue Xiangrong held her daughter, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but rub her little face gently and kiss her tenderly.
Why is she doing it for Xue Yueshan?
It’s better not to have such a father.
But Xue Yueshan didn't know the inside story. He just thought that Xue Xiangrong wanted to fulfill his wish, and he was slightly excited.
"Does the Queen really mean what she said?"
But Xue Yingxue felt like Ming Jing'er, knowing that she wanted to hold him accountable for almost killing Jiang Zao.
She originally thought to assassinate Jiang Zao in advance, and then wait for everyone to come to Yangxin Hall to take a look - oh! The ominous figure of this queen not only attracted will-o'-the-wisps, but also caused her own daughter to die!
By then, she will be able to be crowned Daya and sit on the throne of queen!
But after all calculations, she never expected that Jiang Jinyan would be allowed to recuperate in the side hall of Yangxin Hall! Still awake!
If she had known this earlier, she would definitely have sent two more people there, and not even Jiang Jinyan would be left alive!
In order to find out the person behind the will-o'-the-wisp just now, Jiang Huaijing did not take the time to investigate the matter, but gave Xue Xiangrong some time to think about it!
"Your Majesty! I accept my punishment!" A hint of sinisterness flashed through Xue Yingxue's eyes, and she saluted Jiang Huaijing resolutely!
"I have done something wrong, and that is my fault. Your Majesty can punish me no matter how hard you want, and I don't dare to trouble you anymore, the Queen!"
As soon as she said this, she was slapped hard!
Xue Yueshan raised his hands high and looked at his daughter with hatred, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "You damn girl, what are you talking about! Why don't you beg for mercy!"
In his opinion, Xue Xiangrong would not be so cruel as to kill Xue Yingxue!
As long as Xue Yingxue is alive, he will feel at ease!
But Xue Yingxue confessed in public. Didn't that force the emperor to kill her on the spot?
"What do you know!" Xue Yingxue's eyes turned red and he shouted, "I would rather die than give the queen the opportunity to abuse lynching!"
Rather than letting myself be tortured to death by Xue Xiangrong, it would be better to be killed by Jiang Huajing now!
Her determination aroused Xue Yueshan's dissatisfaction. The two were about to quarrel, but Jiang Huaijing waved his hand and sent the imperial guards to pull them away!
Jiang Huaijing's face was cold, with a faint hint of anger, "The Queen is right. The events of the previous dynasty have already troubled me. Let Concubine Xue be left to the Queen!"
After saying this, he issued an imperial edict in front of all the courtiers and concubines!
Needless to say, Wang Qin could bear the consequences of having his house raided and being sent to Ning Guta. He also had to be punished with fifty sticks!
If Ning died of illness on the road to Guta, that was his life too!
As for Gao Bin, although no evidence can be found, the charge of having personal relationships with court officials is certain.
Not only was his salary confiscated and his official position demoted, he was also confiscated of half of his family fortune.
As for Xue Yueshan, the Xue family was raided and he was exiled to a place to be an official. It was still a remote place, more desolate than Ninggu Pagoda and others!
Even life in those desolate places is difficult.
Thieves are rampant, and local horse thieves are also rampant. If you want to be an official there, you will inevitably die!
These charges may sound good on the surface, but in reality, they are no different from beheading.
Even though Xue Xiangrong's heart was numb, hearing that his father was being exiled like this, he couldn't help but look back.
The moment he met those eyes that seemed to have aged more than ten times in an instant, Xue Yueshan forced a smile and said, "You must take good care of Xue'er."
【what! Now, I can't even protect myself, and I still have to worry about this bad woman! you! Why! Kiss mother, let’s not look at her. The baby is coaxing you. Mother, please be obedient and don’t look at her~ Look at the baby~ The baby is cute~]
Jiang Zao was babbling hard to make a sound, attracting Xue Xiangrong.
And when she heard this soft voice coaxing her as if she was coaxing a pink dumpling, she felt a lot relieved.
Everything has settled, and the murderers behind the scenes have been punished, which is very satisfying!
Now, it's her turn!
Xue Xiangrong stood up with Jiang Zao in her arms. Nian Qiu came back to her at this moment and whispered, "My queen, everything is done. Lan Chuan has also been recruited. We are just waiting for the noble concubine..."
Xue Xiangrong nodded slightly, and then said loudly to Nian Qiu: "Take Concubine Xue back to the palace and wait for trial."
But at this moment, Eunuch Li suddenly knelt down towards Jiang Huaijing outside the gate of Yangxin Hall and announced loudly: "Your Majesty, Ji Yunsheng wants to see you!"
Ji Yunsheng's name was known to all the courtiers present.
He had always been a minister who only talked to Jiang Huaijing about the celestial phenomena. Why did he ask to see him in the clear sky and in broad daylight?
Everyone kneeling in the hall had a look of surprise on their faces. Only Jiang Zao chuckled inappropriately at this moment.
[It seems that my mother’s life-saving charm has arrived~ but it’s too late. Today, even if the emperor's father didn't know that phosphorus powder could create 'will-o'-wisps', Ji Yunsheng would still come to save his mother, saying that there was something strange in the sky. 】
[But it’s good that my mother was saved in advance and the bad guy was beaten to death! The baby must have a good meal today, just...two bowls of milk jade soup! 】
Jiang Zao stretched out his hand, groaning in Xue Xiangrong's arms, as if he had caught the sweet and soft milk jade soup.
Jiang Huaijing calmly asked Eunuch Li to pass Ji Yunsheng in.
As soon as Ji Yunsheng came in, he knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty! There is something different in the sky. The position of the lucky star is shrouded by the evil star, which indicates that the East Palace is in danger!"
"And according to the celestial phenomena, Princess Jiang Chao is a lucky star! If this lucky star is shrouded by evil stars, it will be wiped out, Your Majesty!"
He saw the ministers around him stunned, thinking that he had arrived at just the right time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Huaijing rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver on the spot!
"Have you all heard? The queen is in charge of the middle palace, and her virtues match her. Yu'er is the eldest princess of our court and a lucky star! If I hear any more rumors that I shouldn't have in the future, I will be killed without mercy. amnesty!"
This majestic voice made all the civil and military officials tremble. They all knelt down and said that they would never let the eldest princess and the queen bother her again!
Xue Xiangrong looked at the pink dumplings in her arms and felt relieved.
Her Yu'er is really a lucky star!
After the joy, Xue Xiangrong did not forget about the business, "Nian Qiu, lead the imperial concubine back to the palace."
