Xiao Shenggao saw that Zhao Yue was beaten like this, and it was indeed a bit harsh. He said: "Let her get out."
"I'm afraid I can't get out of here. Your Majesty, the princess asked someone to carry her here."
What?
Zhao Yue's expression changed. What kind of monster is Cheng Jingyu doing?
The people outside the door quickly carried Cheng Jingyu in. As expected, she was sitting on a simple stretcher.
My ankles were as swollen as a pig's head.
But Princess Cheng, who had always been bright and charming, today had her hair shawl-free and looked haggard.
She was wearing a lake blue coat, but she couldn't keep herself up, her lips turned white, and she coughed lightly when the wind blew.
One night passed, I was like a tiger when I beat myself yesterday, but now I have turned into a little white rabbit?
"I heard that Grand Tutor had been denounced, saying that Jingyu had beaten Zhao Yue and wanted an explanation in front of His Majesty. But did Zhao Yue tell me the reason why I beat him?"
Cheng Jingyu said, tears falling down first.
"I--"
I thought Cheng Jingyu would not dare to show up today, but she turned out like this!
Zhao Yue was a little panicked for a moment.
A woman's tears are indeed a sharp weapon. Xiao Shenggao's expression softened a little: "Then tell me, what is going to happen in front of me?"
"Zhao Yue put snakes in my car. If your majesty was interested in asking, you must know that Jingyu is most afraid of snakes. That's why she couldn't help but get angry yesterday and couldn't control her strength. I know I was wrong, please punish me."
This number? ? ?
Why did Cheng Jingyu take the initiative to admit her mistake?
Cheng Xi's identity was there, and the Queen and Xiao Heng were supporting her. She had never taken anyone seriously.
Even if he beat Zhao Yue, Xiao Shenggao couldn't really do anything to her.
Now he is actually admitting his mistake!
Zhao Taifu obviously didn't think about it, so he couldn't help but said: "It's good that you know! If a woman beats someone so violently, how will your future husband discipline you? You -"
"But Taifu, because Zhao Yue let the snake go, my feet sprained while walking back to the city, and the night wind blew me away and made me cold. Does Zhao Yue also want to apologize to me?"
"Am I apologizing to you? Why? It's not like you can't ride in the car if you let the snake go. The snake is not poisonous and is just for fun. You have to act pretentiously. Who's to blame!"
Taifu Zhao's expression changed.
He had always avoided bringing up the matter of releasing the snake, wanting to obscure it so that Xiao Shenggao could punish Cheng Jingyu.
Unexpectedly, my idiot son——
Cheng Jingyu sobbed: "Although Taifu has always taught us that there is nothing better than making improvements if you know your mistakes. Jingyu listened, but Zhao Yue doesn't seem to have. It doesn't matter, Your Majesty. It's okay if Zhao Yue doesn't apologize."
The little girl was soft and frail, and her words not only praised Taifu Zhao, but also vividly demonstrated his "incompetence in educating his children".
Xiao Shenggao's face became more and more ugly: "You put a snake in a little girl's car, and you are blamed for beating her. Come and file a complaint first. Master, before you came to me, didn't you ask clearly what good things your son had done?"
Taifu Zhao hurriedly pulled Zhao Yue to kneel down and kowtowed: "I, I love my son so much. It hurts to see him beaten like this, so I came here in a hurry. I will teach this rebellious son well when I go back!"
"Dad! Your Majesty! Cheng, Princess, shouldn't she be punished?"
"You still don't know how to admit your mistake, do you?" Xiao Shenggao said impatiently: "No wonder the prince has been acting more and more aggressively in the palace in recent days. He loves to argue about everything. He has no kindness or humility as a prince. He is just playing with you guys. broken!"
Once you reach the rank of prince, this matter is no small matter.
Taifu Zhao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and regretted why he had brought this idiot to the imperial court!
"Li Dequan, here is my order. Zhao Yue has a bad character and is no longer suitable to be the prince's companion. From now on, he will not be allowed to enter or leave the palace. I order the prince to be grounded for half a month. After half a month, I will personally rely on his homework!"
Taifu Zhao collapsed on the ground, and Zhao Yue's face turned pale.
Cancel his accompanying reading, and he will be the joke of the entire imperial capital from now on!
Cheng Jingyu sniffed appropriately: "What about Jingyu, Your Majesty?"
He looked like he would accept his punishment obediently and correct his mistakes when he realized they were wrong.
Master Xiao Sheng waved his hand: "If your feet are swollen like this, nothing will happen. Go back to recuperate and reflect. Next time you hit someone, I will ask your father to punish you."
After leaving Yangning Hall, Chunhua hurriedly greeted him: "Princess Princess! How do you know that Your Majesty will definitely punish the prince?"
Before entering the palace just now, the princess said that if Zhao Taifu was smarter and didn't make a big fuss, Zhao Yue might be fine.
But if he wants to make trouble in front of Xiao Shenggao, then she will definitely make Zhao Yue suffer.
Cheng Jingyu stared at the back of the little eunuch who was leaving the rice paper and said: "It's very simple. The emperor wanted to find an opportunity to punish the prince."
What happened on the hunting ground that day, based on her suspicious understanding of His Majesty, made him feel a knot in his heart.
The prince wanted to marry her, and he got close to Zhao Yue. Now the matter is precisely related to Zhao Yue.
The fact that the Queen and the Prince went to Nanputuo Temple yesterday could not be hidden from him. In this case,
He would only guess that the prince had joined forces with Zhao Yue to cause trouble again, just to marry her.
She cried pitifully and did not stand by Xiao Heng and the Taifu. Then Xiao Shenggao would eliminate the suspicion that she wanted to marry Xiao Heng and strengthen the Hou family.
Xiao Shenggao would naturally punish Xiao Heng and Zhao Yue instead of punishing her.
In a word, Xiao Shenggao would not tolerate anyone who clearly coveted the throne.
After hearing this, Chunhua almost wanted to applaud her princess: "You are so awesome, you actually figured out His Majesty's thoughts! But the princess, the queen and the prince, didn't they target you even more?"
Cheng Jingyu's eyes turned cold, and she said quietly: "I'm just afraid she won't come."
She helped Xiao Heng in her previous life, but this time, she wanted Xiao Heng to lose everything.
She wants Yu Nixiu's life to pay for her mother's revenge!
Middle palace.
Xiao Heng paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking restless.
Yu Nixiu took a sip of tea and flicked the incense burner: "Why are you in a hurry? I'll be here in a while."
"Mother, Taifu Zhao went to the father and cried. Will the father really punish Jingyu? Will Jingyu really come to beg us?"
They had been waiting here early in the morning, waiting for Cheng Jingyu to come to the empress for support after she was wronged by the emperor.
She had been like this before, thinking that the Queen could give her advice and that the Queen was kind to her.
"Otherwise, who else can she look for? Her father is far away in the northwest, and we are the only ones letting her do whatever she wants."
Yu Nixiu picked up a piece of preserved fruit and said, "By the way, when she comes later, don't be too easy-hearted. She, like her mother, will open a dyeing workshop if you give her some color, and then put it on her face."
Xiao Heng nodded repeatedly: "Of course, she has really taken the wrong medicine recently and has been lukewarm towards me. Naturally, I will not simply let her go. It would be nice if she was half as gentle as her delicate temperament."
Speaking of Cheng Jiaojiao, Yu Nixiu's expression didn't soften: "You and Cheng Jiaojiao, don't go too far. The big thing is not done yet. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to end."
Just as he was talking, an announcement came from outside, saying that Li Dequan, who was beside Xiao Shenggao, came to deliver the order.
Li Dequan would not come to the palace unless there was an important event.
Just as Xiao Heng was welcoming him out, Li Dequan had already come in: "Your Highness, are you still with the Empress? Go back to the East Palace quickly, Your Majesty has forbidden you!"
