Zheng Cheng turned around respectfully and saluted the little princess to apologize:
"Princess, please forgive me. I was afraid of scaring the princess, so I advised you to return to the palace."
After the little princess saw the bloody palace maid, and then looked at Zheng Cheng's smiling face, she found it strange and permeating.
"What...what's going on?"
Zheng Cheng: "Two maids from Cuiwei Palace are investigating your Majesty's whereabouts. Your Majesty will give you a small punishment and a big warning."
After speaking, he took two steps forward, smiled gently at Concubine Rou and said:
"Your Majesty believes in the character of the empress, and thinks that the empress must not know about this matter. It is these two maids who act so boldly in order to please the empress."
Although Concubine Rou tried her best to control her figure and gave a stiff smile, her voice still had a slight tremor:
"Thank...Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I really don't know about this matter."
Zheng Cheng: "Your Majesty knows that your Majesty is kind-hearted and cannot bear to punish people around you when they make mistakes, so you will deal with it for you. Your Majesty also said that your Majesty has worked very hard to take care of the Queen Mother and helped organize the palace banquets in the past few days. Special approval." You don’t have to think about it morning and evening, just copy Buddhist scriptures in Cuiwei Palace to rest your life."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rou lost her strength and put her hands on the floor to stabilize her body. Seeing this, the little princess quickly stepped forward and took Concubine Rou's arm.
"Manager Zheng, the maid next to Leng Palace has also been arrested. How should we deal with it?"
Hearing the questions from the palace people at the door, Zheng Cheng first bowed respectfully to Concubine Rou and the little princess and left. Then he took a step out and stood on the corridor and said loudly:
"How you dealt with that one just now, you will deal with this one as well. It is also a good idea for the palace people who have bad thoughts and flatter the master to see what they should and should not do, what they can know and what they should not know."
Concubine Rou knew that Zheng Cheng was telling her this to scare the monkeys. Zheng Cheng represented the emperor. It seemed that the emperor was angry this time. I was frightened and aggrieved, but I didn't do anything...
After Zheng Cheng finished speaking, shrill screams came from outside the house. Within a few seconds, he began to beg for mercy in panic and shouted for Concubine Rou to save her life. In the end, there was no sound.
Inside the house, mother and daughter leaned together, holding each other's hands tightly, listening in terrified silence to every scream outside the house.
"Manager, the pain is over."
"You are so unwilling to resist beatings, yet you dare to stretch your hands in front of His Majesty's eyes. Take it to the mass grave and bury it, and take the one in the house with you. Bring more water and wash away all the blood in this yard. Don't do it. The empress and princess were shocked."
Zheng Cheng led the people to disperse, and the mother and daughter stared at the blood stains in the hall, terrified.
When the queen heard the news, the gloom on her brows was reduced by half:
"Give her some information. She really dares to investigate. His Majesty didn't even say a deadline. I wonder when he will calm down and when will he lift her confinement."
Shunyi: "I heard that Concubine Rou was sick. People from Cuiwei Palace went to invite your majesty. Your majesty just said that she should be recuperated if she is ill. It won't be too late to copy the scriptures after she is well."
The queen sneered and said: "Your Majesty is so angry that she actually thought that she could get away with it by pretending to be coquettish as usual. Your Majesty will show no mercy to that person."
When Concubine Xian faced Chu Chengye's questioning, she only said that Concubine Rou was the one who investigated the emperor's whereabouts and offended Long Yan, so she was punished.
After sending her son away, Concubine Xian opened the window, looked in the direction of Leng Gong and murmured:
"After all these years, it is still as precious as a treasure. Who can say that the emperor is ruthless?"
While talking, thinking of the past, Concubine Xian suddenly felt cold and ordered the maid to close the window.
