"Your Majesty, it was all my fault in the past. I offended your concubine. I really know that I was wrong!"
In the room, Ting Concubine was kneeling in front of Zheng Yinghuan with regret, begging for mercy. She knew what she had done wrong at the beginning, but now that she thought about it, she really regretted it. She forced herself to kneel on the ground and kowtow to her body, which had just given birth.
"You know you are wrong?" Zheng Yinghuan admired all this from above, "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't be so presumptuous in front of the empress, I shouldn't show off in front of the empress, I shouldn't offend the empress without knowing what I should do. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. If time could go back, I would definitely not dare You are so presumptuous in front of your Majesty!"
The pear blossoms in the pavilion were crying. If she was sad because she had lost her child, now she was more worried about how she would live her life in the future.
Now that I have offended the imperial concubine, I am afraid that she will really not be able to survive in the harem in the future, so if you can beg for mercy now, just beg for mercy.
"That's it." Zheng Yinghuan knelt down and pinched Ting's chin fiercely, "You have been with me for so many years, so you should know what my temper is. You are quite clever, knowing that now I am I kowtow vigorously in front of the palace to beg for mercy, but do you think it will work?"
Zheng Yinghuan let go of her hand fiercely, and Ting Bin fell heavily to the ground. Her already weak body was even worse, and she felt a terrible pain in her stomach.
But the concubine Ting couldn't care about the pain on her body at the moment, knowing that the imperial concubine might already have a grudge against her.
"Please forgive me for my life. Since I have done things for my mother for so many years, please spare me this time! I will listen to my mother honestly from now on and will never dare to have my own thoughts again." !”
Ting Bin kowtowed her head hard on the ground, feeling the pain in her body getting worse every time she knelt.
The most painful thing is my heart. It's just that the child is gone, and His Majesty has changed so quickly. He has never even comforted himself. He is just so indifferent and so ruthless.
"Ting concubine, you have clearly seen it just now. Your Majesty does not care about you. All you care about is the child in your belly. Your child is gone. Do you still think about being favored by His Majesty? "
Zheng Yinghuan sneered in relief, just to let the concubine see clearly why she thought she had been favored all these days!
These days, she has chosen the best things to give to the concubines every day. Do you really think that she is doing it willingly, and that she is not going to show it to His Majesty?
Ting Bin didn't speak, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down. She saw it, she understood it, and she already felt like her heart had been stabbed hard!
"We are all sisters. I just can't bear to see you immersed in these loves. I want to remind you not to be so stupid in the future!"
Zheng Yinghuan couldn't help but laugh. In fact, not only Tingbi, but also Xie Ruling back then was so stupid?
She just used an aunt's trick, but Xie Ruling was stupid enough to make trouble in the cold palace.
At that time, Xie Ruling didn't think that His Majesty would investigate the matter thoroughly because of her actions. It was impossible, how could it be possible? His Majesty was already annoyed by these fights in the harem.
Furthermore, Xie Ruling's original behavior was undoubtedly a challenge to His Majesty's authority. His Majesty naturally followed the trend and let Xie Ruling go to the cold palace!
Ting Bin collapsed on the ground and was speechless in pain. She didn't know how things ended up like this. It was clear that he had a child in his belly yesterday, and His Majesty was so gentle and doting on her.
It's just a day apart, so why should we give him such a big blow?
"When you had the guts to show off in front of the Queen Mother, did you ever think that this day would happen? Do you think I am really so easy to deal with!"
Zheng Yinghuan slapped Ting Bin hard. She was always a carefree person. If anyone offended her, she would take revenge severely.
Only now will she feel satisfied. Ting Bin has finally paid the price she deserves. She deserves all this. Don't blame her for being too cruel.
Ting Bin could only cover her swollen face. The pain in her body had long been unbearable, and now the repeated blows in her heart were causing her entire spirit to collapse.
Who is to blame? Who is to blame for all this?
She had been silent in the harem for so many years. When she had a child, she just wanted to feel what it was like to be pampered. She just wanted to feel the feeling of being pampered.
But she didn't expect that this beautiful dream would be so short-lived. She had already woken up from this dream before she could fully appreciate what it felt like.
After I wake up from this beautiful dream, I will never have such a moment again in my future life. I will always be in darkness.
"Just stay here and enjoy this taste. You deserve this!"
Zheng Yinghuan left a word and left. He was very satisfied with what happened tonight, very satisfied.
…
"Mother, don't you intend to find out the matter? Are you going to punish Empress Shu like this?"
Chu Xin said dissatisfied, but there was a vague feeling in her heart that it was indeed the case. Isn't that what her father was like?
I don't even take a closer look at what's going on, I just think it's good to have a satisfactory explanation.
Just like when I thought she stole Concubine Zheng's charcoal, how could it be possible? How could she get Concubine Zheng's charcoal? But my father just didn't believe it.
It's not so much that he doesn't believe it as it is that he doesn't care. If Chu Yi was wrongly accused, then his father would definitely investigate to the end, right?
Yes, it will definitely happen. Chu Yi is her favorite princess, and she has seen it a long time ago.
"This matter is not bad. It's just a lower status. I think Your Majesty did this for the sake of the Queen Mother."
Xie Ruling sighed helplessly. Compared with her original situation, her situation was much better now, but she suffered such a big loss inexplicably. Who could swallow this sigh of relief?
Zheng Yinghuan will definitely implement such means. It was like this eight years ago, and it will still be like this eight years later.
"Okay, Xin'er, mother knows that you feel sad for Empress Shu, but we are the only ones who can bear it now. His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and people from Northern Qi and Nanliang will come to congratulate you. You must be obedient and don't do anything wrong. What’s wrong!”
Xie Ruling worriedly touched Chu Xin's head. This was a big deal.
Chu Xin must learn all the rules well during this period of time to avoid making any mistakes in front of everyone.
"I will!"
Chu Xin nodded vigorously. The rules in the palace were indeed complicated. She would learn them all one by one and would never embarrass her mother.
The night was already deep, Xie Ruling had already fallen asleep after working for so long, and Chu Xin sneaked out alone.
Fortunately, the Zhongcui Palace where they lived was relatively remote, and not many people would notice it. She just wanted to find someone to talk to and relieve the depression in her heart, so she thought of Xiao Zhi.
When she went to the courtyard of Leng Gong, she didn't see anyone. Chu Xin didn't want to come here in vain, so she got out of the small dog hole and ran directly into Nanyuan.
"Xiao Zhi!"
The door in Nanyuan was ajar, so Chu Xin pushed the door open directly and saw a faint light inside the room.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Zhi heard something moving outside and came out immediately. Unexpectedly, the person who came over was Chu Xin.
Xiao Zhi took Chu Xin and sat down on the steps beside him. He couldn't tell what it was like. He was thinking about someone, but he didn't expect this person to come over right away.
"Empress Tingbin had a miscarriage tonight. All the evidence found that it was Empress Shufei who did it. My father has made her a noble."
Chu Xin felt aggrieved and said, how could such a gentle and kind Concubine Shu do such a thing?
But my father, I will investigate carefully, so he easily convicted Empress Shu, just like he was convicted of stealing charcoal in the first place.
Xiao Zhi didn't say anything. He had already known that something like this would happen. How could Chu Yi and Concubine Zheng allow Ting Concubine to successfully give birth to a child?
"As long as Shugui is fine, this position can be lowered or promoted naturally."
Xiao Zhi scratched his head and could only comfort him like this. He didn't even dare to look into Chu Xin's eyes.
This is probably what it feels like to feel guilty, right?
"That's all it can do."
Chu Xin lowered her head sadly. In fact, she knew the feeling of being wronged, and she also knew the grievance of His Majesty convicting someone so decisively after being wronged.
"Concubine Zheng has always been loved by King Chu and has the right to control the harem. You and Concubine Jing should keep a low profile and don't anger her."
He really wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After Xiao Zhi said this, he felt that it was really useless.
Can I be let go if I don't provoke others?
It's impossible. As long as Concubine Zheng doesn't like them, she has plenty of ways to deal with them.
"I will advise my mother to restrain her temper. I also understand these principles."
Chu Xin lowered her head and her voice was choked with sobs. In fact, how could they not understand these truths? Woolen cloth
I have endured it for a long time, but this is still the result.
"do not Cry."
Xiao Zhi patted Chu Xin's shoulder distressedly. He understood the feeling of being wronged and bullied best.
"By the way, my mother told me that my father's birthday banquet will be in three months. Beiqi will also send people over by then. My father should also let you come out to meet your relatives in Beiqi."
Chu Xin wiped away her tears and looked at Xiao Zhi with bright eyes.
After so many years in a foreign country, you should be happy to finally be able to meet your relatives in Northern Qi, right?
But Xiao Zhi still had a calm expression and had no idea about this matter.
"I don't have any relatives in Beiqi anymore. No matter who I send here, I won't be happy."
Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly. He stared at Chu Xin's bright eyes for a long time. It seemed that every time Chu Xin was unhappy, she would cry. After crying, her eyes would be so bright.
"why?"
Chu Xin asked curiously. After this reaction, it turned out that Xiao Zhi had not told her about the past in Beiqi, but after thinking about it, he might not have many happy memories, right?
"My biological mother was just a slave, so my life in Northern Qi was not very good," Xiao Zhi lowered his head, not wanting to say more or recall that dark memory.
"It's okay," Chu Xin touched Xiao Zhi's hand, "I understand how you feel and I will stay with you."
"good."
Xiao Zhi smiled.
