If Xiao Heng didn't say this, Xiao Shenggao might just punish Yu Nixiu.
But when he said this, he obviously pushed Xiao Shenggao's brain to the ground.
Sure enough, I heard him sneer: "You mean, a concubine asked your mother to do such a nasty thing?"
The word "concubine" caused the struggling Cheng Jiaojiao to lose all her strength in an instant. She stared at Cheng Jingyu with reluctance written all over her resentful little face.
Just because she was a concubine, the queen stepped on her at will if something happened, and the prince also sold her when he said he would.
Obviously...it was not like this when he was happy with her.
At that time, she was teased in every possible way. .
Xiao Heng was speechless. He knew that he had angered the emperor again.
Do we really have to stay here today?
"Your Majesty!" Yu Nixiu saw that Xiao Heng was being scolded and made things difficult. How could she bear it? "Even if the prince said something wrong, but my concubine did nothing, will I be punished by your majesty for no reason?"
Before she married into the palace, the Yu family was also a wealthy family, and she was the eldest daughter.
The noble girl who grew up in the palm of her family's hands has not been upset for many years since she became the queen.
Today, Su Daier captured an entire army and involved Xiao Heng. Of course she couldn't bear it in front of so many people.
"What else do you want to do?!" Xiao Sheng pointed at her angrily and scolded: "If anything happens to Cheng Jingyu today, I will hold it on your head! It's only with a mother like you that the prince can't be brought up Brain! Li Dequan, the queen has failed in her moral conduct and has hurt Xi Chu’s face. From today onwards, she will be banned from the palace and fined one year of silver!"
Cheng Jingyu blinked calmly.
Is a fine of one year also called a penalty?
If it wasn't in front of everyone, she would have laughed out loud.
Xiao Shenggao seemed to be thundering and angry, but when the real whip came down, it didn't even hurt any flesh.
She calculated carefully today that she even owed Concubine Yi a favor, not just to tickle the queen.
Just as she was about to speak, her sleeve was suddenly pulled.
——Cheng Jingyu looked back in surprise and saw Fu Yanci standing behind him, his face still expressionless.
If it weren't for his sleeves flickering, Cheng Jingyu would have thought that he hadn't moved from beginning to end.
But it was obviously him who pulled the sleeve just now.
What do you mean, to stop her from speaking out?
But how did he know that he was going to speak out?
Cheng Jingyu even thought that Fu Yan resigned as another victim of this storm and planned to stay out of it completely.
He was a part of the Queen and Cheng Jiaojiao's use, but it was obvious that they were just using him casually.
If it were someone other than Cheng Jingyu, Xiao Shenggao would not only ignore it, but might even reprimand him.
Now it seems that even if it happened to Cheng Jingyu, Xiao Shenggao's reaction would be louder than thunder.
How could she bear it?
I can't stand this tone at all.
But since Fu Yanci stopped him, calm down and think about it, he really shouldn't be impulsive.
If she blindly demands severe punishment for Yu Nixiu, it will only make the suspicious Xiao Shenggao suspicious.
After all, it was she who asked for the Meiyuan in the first place. Even if Concubine Yi was there, he would inevitably think that he was colluding with Concubine Yi to deal with the queen.
Once Xiao Shenggao has such an idea, the Queen will be spared this minor punishment.
It will also expose yourself.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jingyu took a deep breath and felt grateful to Fu Yanci for the reminder - whether it was intentional or unintentional.
But she was obviously not the only one who was unwilling to do so.
How could Yu Nixiu be willing to have her face humiliated like this? For her, being grounded was already a shameful thing for the Yu family.
"Your Majesty keeps saying that I am immoral, but I don't admit it! It's just people with intentions who deliberately let Your Majesty see such a scene. You don't even know that Your Majesty is being taken advantage of!"
These words were so rebellious that even Xiao Heng knelt behind her and pulled her clothes, wanting to beg her not to say it again.
Concubine Yi covered her heart and said: "Hey, sister is really your majesty's pet peeve. She dares to say anything. Sister, you might as well point at my concubine's nose and scold me, saying that I took a knife to force you to set up the princess. .”
Su Daier is not an easy person when she is annoyed. If she had that kind of docile temperament, she would not be able to get to where she is today just by doting on her.
Since the Queen intends to draw the fire to her, of course she will not give up.
If you don’t want the face given by the emperor, fine, let’s break up.
Cheng Jingyu quietly took a step back, seeing that she was no longer needed for the time being.
"You know it in your heart, otherwise why would you reward such a bunch of people with a plum?!"
Concubine Yi's beautiful eyes softened and she was about to cry when she looked at Xiao Shenggao: "Your Majesty, am I wronged? I was just afraid that I would offend the prince of Zhou today so I said a few words. The fault is all on me now." ”
As she spoke, she knelt down and her palace skirt seemed to bloom like a cluster of flowers in the snow: "Your Majesty, please punish me as well. Nothing serious happened to the princesses, so I can be considered a meritorious service. I don't ask for farewell, I only ask for the queen." Your Majesty, please don’t hold on to me.”
This move is to retreat in order to advance. As a princess, Cheng Jingyu would be ignorant if she did not step out.
So she followed Concubine Yi and knelt down, lowering her eyebrows and saying: "Then Jingyu also wants to be punished. This is all because of Jingyu. I beg your majesty not to hurt the husband and wife's harmony because of Jingyu."
The two heads are bent lower than the other, and the face cannot be seen, but looking at the head, one can tell that he is aggrieved.
Xiao Shenggao really didn't know what to do for a while.
The original punishment was not severe because he didn't want Nie Wenxun to make a joke about the queen being severely punished when he came, and it was also to save Xi Chu's face.
Furthermore, the queen was a queen after all, and she was also the biological mother of the prince. If he punished her too severely, Xiao Heng would not be able to show his dignity in front of foreign guests.
It's just that the queen, this idiot, doesn't know how to restrain herself at all, and wants to make things worse.
Even Concubine Yi and Cheng Jingyu knew that the overall situation must be the most important thing at this time, but she——
"Ha ha."
Suddenly a joking laughter was heard.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Nie Wenxun.
After Nie Wenxun finished laughing, he pretended to be embarrassed again: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Wenxun has never seen such a palace drama before, and found it quite interesting, so he couldn't help it, but -"
He left half of what he said, but people felt intuitively that what he was going to say was not a good thing.
Xiao Shenggao frowned: "The prince just said it doesn't matter."
"It's just that Wenxun thinks that he should also plead guilty. If the princess said that all this happened to her, then according to what we just heard, your queen did all this just to sing a play for me, so that she can be praised. I don’t want to marry the princess. Your Majesty’s punishment is unfair. The Queen probably feels that Wen Xun was not punished.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Yi and Cheng Jingyu, who had their heads lowered, both raised their lips and smiled.
Nie Wenxun's words seemed to be an apology, but in fact they were all sarcasm.
Ridiculing Xiao Shenggao for being unfair and pointing out that he is also a victim.
On the first day I came to Xichu, I encountered this kind of thing, and you still treated me lightly. I am not a fool to fool.
Xiao Shenggao's face turned pale.
Yu Nixiu felt that Nie Wenxun was targeting her, and she raised her eyebrows: "You rely on yourself——"
"Shut up!" Xiao Shenggao interrupted harshly before she could say more: "Originally, it was just a light punishment because you are the mother of the country. Instead of pleading guilty, you dared to take the lead! Li Dequan, put her on the line. The phoenix seal is taken back, and the affairs of the Sixth Palace are temporarily handed over to Concubine Yi!"
