Chapter 48
Concubine Ying is also aware of current affairs at this time, and kowtows.
"Flat body."
Empress Li responded lightly.
Then, she remained silent again, waiting for Concubine Ying to speak.
"Empress, today, the concubine is here to plead guilty. For the sake of serving the emperor together for so many years, please forgive my Xun'er. You can punish the concubine any way you want, and the concubine will never complain. Empress Empress..."
I didn't expect Concubine Ying to be submissive, and actually knelt here to beg her. Empress Li was a little surprised, but at the same time, she didn't take it lightly. Who knows, is this woman's conspiracy?After fighting with her for so many years, she knew that this woman was full of tricks, so she had better be on guard.
Thinking of this, Empress Li smiled, and said: "Your concubine's words like this really ruin me, a queen who exists in name only. No one in the entire palace, or even the whole world, knows that you are the emperor. The popular people around me all responded. Is there anything in this world that you, Concubine Ying, can't solve? I think my sister should go back quickly, and stop making fun of me, who is a yellow flower of yesterday!"
After finishing speaking, Lady Li stroked the gold hairpin on her head, then turned her head and said to the court lady: "Ah Zhu, you sent Noble Concubine Ying out, A Ling'er, let's go to the imperial garden."
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Empress, please be merciful, don't embarrass my family Xun'er anymore. The concubine is guilty, and the concubine assures you that she will never occupy the emperor's favor in the future. I will persuade Xun'er to let go, and we will definitely rule in the future." Be a good person and never interfere with anything in the palace again. Empress, I beg you!"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Ying walked a few steps on her knees, grabbed the skirt of the queen, and said in tears.
"..."
Suspicious, still suspicious, Empress Li took a serious look at Concubine Ying who was kneeling on the ground. If she was acting, wouldn't she look too similar?
But if it's not acting, why would she bother to ask herself?I think back then, when I caught her, her gaze could kill me, but it was only a few days ago, and I begged her again, it was impossible!Could it be that she was in more trouble?Also, how on earth did she get out?In this harem, except for the emperor who exempted the forbidden, who would dare to let a sinner out of the palace?But since the emperor let her go, she came here to beg herself, isn't that too unreasonable?
"Concubine Ying, you are embarrassing me like this. I heard that the emperor has ordered you to be imprisoned, but you are now in my Chiyang Palace. I think, if it weren't for the emperor's permission, you should leave Are you not going out of the Scorching Sun Palace? Since this is the case, if you really want to ask for something, why don't you go to ask the emperor, but come to this palace instead of near and far?"
It wasn't until this moment that Empress Li asked the question in her heart.
"Empress... my concubine, my concubine dare not ask the emperor, because it is the emperor who wants Xun'er to lead troops to fight against those barbarians. If I ask the emperor, he will definitely think that Xun'er is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." What's more, now that the concubine is wearing a sinful body, if I ask the emperor again, I'm afraid I will annoy the emperor!"
Concubine Ying cried out with a runny nose and tears.
"What? The Moon Kingdom is going to fight the barbarians? Why doesn't this Palace know anything about it?"
When Queen Li heard the news, she was stunned and asked.Only at this time did she realize that this imperial concubine Ying was begging her for her son, not for herself.
"Emperor Empress, you..."
Seeing that Empress Li reacted like this, Concubine Ying was also stunned. She had heard early this morning that the emperor sent Nan Gongxun to fight against her barbarians. She thought it was the Empress Empress' secret evil intentions, because, The matter is very suspicious. There are many ministers available in the court, such as the great general Cai Kangyong, such as the mighty general Cai Zhong... But why is it her Xun'er?
When Concubine Ying thought about it, she thought of the empress. It must be the empress and the prince who couldn't tolerate her Xun'er, and just now instigated the emperor to send Xun'er to fight.
Thinking of these, how could Concubine Ying still sit still.She was not afraid that Xun'er would go to war, but what she was afraid of was that the queen had some ulterior purpose in doing so, or that she would kill Xun'er with a back arrow.Fighting outside, after all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If the empress has evil intentions, they will be hard to guard against!
Therefore, in disregard of the ban, she secretly put on the maid's clothes and ran out. When she arrived outside the queen's palace, she changed her clothes again, straightened her appearance and walked in.She risked her head to intercede for her son.
She has fought with the queen for half her life, and has never bowed her head to her, but this time, for her Xin'er, she couldn't care less.He is her life, her life!
"Hmph, what did I say? It turns out there is going to be a war!"
Empress Li finally figured things out, she couldn't help snorting, with a little gloating in her voice, and said, "Since it's the emperor's order, let King Ji go, you said you made such a big mistake this time. Even if the emperor intends to forgive you, the emperor will not be able to stop the people talking. According to this palace, isn't this just your chance to redeem your sins? If the King of Ji wins the battle, the emperor will definitely remember the old love Come on, let me spare you."
Speaking of this, Empress Li looked up at the sky, and said: "If you go on, the sun will be poisonous, so don't even think about going out."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the imperial concubine Ying, leaving the empress's footsteps towards the imperial garden as if incomparably brisk.However, I don't know if it was because the sun was really too poisonous, but a tear fell from the corner of Empress Li's eyes.
Behind her, Concubine Ying was still half crawling on the ground, with hatred in her eyes, she kept staring at the figure of Queen Li who was gradually moving away.
"Ling'er, you said there is going to be a war, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
As the queen walked, she asked the court lady Ling'er. At the same time, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom nonchalantly and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Slaves...of course it's a bad thing! Those barbarians are very tough. If they really attack our Moon Kingdom, they will kill all the people in our Moon Kingdom!"
Ling'er is simple-minded, thought for a while, and said.
"Heh... How can our Yue Kingdom be defeated so easily! According to my opinion, this time, it must be the barbarians who harassed us on the border of the Yue Kingdom again, just to grab some items. If it really is a large army Attack, how could the emperor send the king of Ji who is not surprised by the battle?"
Empress Li analyzed it logically, but her voice was mixed with a bit of displeasure and hoarseness.If it wasn't for her personal maid, Ling'er would not be able to hear it no matter what.
However, although she was a little puzzled, Ling'er naturally understood her duty as a servant, she would not ask what should not be asked, and she had to ask what should be asked.For example, the queen asked her to ask this question at this time.
"The empress is saying that the emperor wants to train His Royal Highness Prince Ji?"
Ling'er pretended to finally realize the clue, and said.
"Yeah, it's not."
The queen stopped at this point, with a wry smile on her lips, before she said: "Among them, there is the emperor's feelings for the noble concubine! Or, to put it another way, the emperor trusts the noble concubine Ying quite a lot, and he doesn't believe it at all. Concubine Ying will do such a mediocre thing, but the public is in full view, if he does not punish Concubine Ying, he will lose the majesty of the emperor, so he can only arrest her, just to show off to outsiders. But now Concubine Ying is going to be released , he also had to find a suitable reason. If she easily pardoned her crimes, it would be impossible to stop everyone's mouths, so the emperor had to come up with this method. Really, pity the emperor's hard work Be careful!"
In the end, even Ling'er could hear the bitterness in it.
"In that case, Concubine Ying should be happy, but why is she crying, which makes people feel off-putting."
When Ling'er heard this, she immediately felt that Concubine Ying's performance was too good. Just now, she almost softened her heart.
"Heh... As the saying goes, caring makes chaos. I'm afraid Concubine Ying didn't think of this level at all. On the contrary, it is Ben Gong who is the bystander! From this matter, Ben Gong finally understands what the emperor loves the most. Who is it!"
Stopping under a peony tree, she stretched out her hand and tore off a fiery red peony that was in full bloom. Empress Li looked very peaceful, she tore the flower slowly, petal by petal, and then Raise your hand, throw it into the sky, the torn petals, like a rain of flowers, slowly fall from the sky, as if you are interpreting a sad story.But in a blink of an eye, a peony that was still in full bloom just now turned red all over the ground.Is this not the mood of Empress Li at the moment?
Until the last petal fell to the ground, Empress Li smiled wretchedly, and finally said lightly: "I lost!"
"Queen..."
Ling'er has been watching the queen's every move, her expression, her movements, her determination to throw flowers into the sky, that is a calm expression she has never seen before!But, for some reason, Ah Li's heart was deeply touched.She felt unworthy and wronged for her master, so she let out a mournful cry.
"It's nothing. In fact, it's better this way. In the future, I will have no scruples and can do what I want."
Empress Li turned around and said to Ling'er, "Let's go back to the palace, I'm tired."
He said he wanted to come to the Royal Garden to relax, but he just walked to the door, but he only stayed for a short moment, and then he was about to go back.Ling'er was a little puzzled, but she was just a servant girl, so she didn't dare to say anything, and followed the queen back to Chiyang Palace.
Besides, King Ji Nan Gongxun went straight to the Sunshine Palace when he came down from the morning, but he couldn't go in outside the gate of the palace, so he had to order the palace maid to send a message to his mother and concubine, asking her to come to the wall to see him.
However, the maid's answer made him feel like he was struck by lightning, and he didn't look back for a while.
"His Royal Highness, go to Chiyang Palace quickly. The imperial concubine heard that the emperor is going to send you to fight, and disregarded the prohibition. She put on our maid's clothes and went to beg the empress. Go!"
The maid said while she was talking, she knelt down in front of Nan Gongxun in panic.
