Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 9 Why Is It Her Again

The two little eunuchs knelt on the ground and mournfully said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to just pass by, I'm so cheap, but I really didn't want to harm the Empress Dowager!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, no one ordered the servant, the servant is here to exchange flowers, so I just said a few words..."

"Nonsense!" Xie Shuangge pointed at them through the window angrily, "Who are you fooling?"

When her fingertips touched the edge of the window, the jade pendant trembled slightly, Chu Wuhen's eyes flashed slightly, and he took a quick glance.

The emperor obviously didn't believe it either, his eyes were gloomy and his tone was heavy, "You don't have to drink a toast, you're fined, come here, drag them out and beat them in the court! I want to see if your bones are as hard as your mouths!"

Chu Wuhen: "Yes!"

He turned his head and gave Jin Yiwei outside a wink, and someone immediately came up and dragged the two young eunuchs out, and soon the bench and wooden boards were moved up, and the two young eunuchs were pressed side by side on the bench, lying on their stomachs. The plank fell on their buttocks one by one.

Because the concubine was there, they didn't take off their pants, so the sound of being hit was muffled, but they couldn't hold back the force, and the sound of "bang bang" kept coming and going, and soon the two young eunuchs couldn't bear to howl.

Looking at this scene, Xie Shuangge felt chills all over her body. This was the retribution they deserved. She was not soft-hearted, but she still felt a little uncomfortable facing this kind of punishment.

The emperor sat on the main seat expressionlessly, without even raising his eyelids. Obviously, he was used to such a scene. Concubine Mei seemed a little scared, and leaned towards the emperor. The emperor held her hand silently. , The corners of Mei Guifei's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes fell on the emperor's face like water.

The queen on the other side watched, her face getting darker.

"Your Majesty, the slave really wasn't ordered by anyone!"

"The servant only found out about Princess Jianing after listening to Sister Lianxin's words..."

The emperor's hand tightened suddenly, and his eyes stabbed at the queen like a knife.

The queen stood up abruptly when she heard the word "Lianxin", her body trembling uncontrollably, "What?"

Mei Guifei's eyes fluttered, and she asked in surprise: "Isn't Lian Xin from my sister's palace?"

Xie Shuangge thumped in her heart, was she going after the queen again?

How is it such a coincidence?Could it be that the purpose of the person behind it is not the queen mother—but the queen?

Xie Shuangge looked at the emperor's face, and felt sorry for the empress. The empress was her mother's best friend during her lifetime, and the two had always had a good relationship.

The emperor raised his hand to stop: "Drag them in!"

Chu Wuhen glanced at the people in the hall unintentionally, taking a panoramic view of everything, it was really a good show.

"emperor……"

As soon as Jin Yiwei dragged the half-dead eunuch in, two bloodstains appeared on the ground. Before entering the door, he heard a soft cry from inside the hall.

Prince Wei Jiuye was the first to react, quickly stepped inside and knelt beside the bed, "Grandmother, are you awake?"

The emperor followed him into the room, "Mother——"

The queen mother's eyes were dazed for a moment, but she quickly regained her clarity. She held Wei Jiuye's hand and slowly tried to sit up.

The emperor hurriedly stopped: "Mother, if you are not feeling well, you should lie down."

The queen mother shook her head and said weakly: "Ai's family is fine, but my heart hurts. You are..."

Her eyes swept over the few people in front of her, and landed on Concubine Mei and the Empress who came in behind.

"There's something strange about the mother's fainting. I'm on trial."

With Wei Jiuye's support, the Queen Mother sat up, leaned against the soft pillow, and coughed twice.

Seeing this, Concubine Mei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty will explain this matter to the Empress, and the Empress can rest at ease."

The emperor nodded, "I..."

Seeing that this matter was about to turn into the dark, Xie Shuangge couldn't help feeling a little anxious. If there was no support from the queen mother, the queen might be in danger this time, so what should I do?
At the critical moment, Chu Wuhen suddenly said, "Your Majesty, those two eunuchs have passed out."

The emperor looked back and saw that the two little eunuchs were lying on the ground, motionless, their backs and buttocks were covered in blood.

Although the queen mother didn't see it, she could still guess that it was indistinguishable. She glanced at Wei Jiuye who was beside her, and Wei Jiuye sighed, "Grandmother, those two little eunuchs said that they heard what Lian Xin from the mother's harem said. Yes, that's why we discussed it in private..."

The empress knelt down heartbroken: "My empress has learned from you, it is absolutely impossible for my concubine to instruct people to do such a rebellious thing."

The emperor wanted to say something more, but the empress dowager withdrew her indifferent gaze from the empress and waved to the emperor.

The emperor walked over, and the queen mother asked wearily: "Is there any evidence?"

The emperor shook his head: "Not yet."

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's it."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shuangge slowly let go of her tightly clenched hands, "It's okay, okay."

However, she was happy, other people may not be, Mei Guifei squeezed the veil tightly in her hands almost imperceptibly, her face didn't fluctuate much.

The emperor was puzzled: "The queen mother no longer pursues it? This matter is of great importance..."

"Aijia said, stop here."

The Empress Dowager's tone suddenly became a little heavier, the emperor pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my son knows."

"Those two servants, kill them. As for Lian Xin, let the queen handle it by herself. If there is nothing wrong, you all go back. The Ai family can't see so many people, and they are dizzy."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, my concubine will leave."

The queen gave her a grateful look, got up and left, Wei Jiuye hesitated for a moment, the queen patted his hand and said: "Good boy, you can go too."

"Yes."

Wei Jiuye left in a hurry, and when he passed by Chu Wuhen, he gave him a grateful look.

Chu Wuhen didn't squint, as if he didn't realize it.

Concubine Mei also left, and when only the emperor was left alone, the queen mother said: "Emperor, Jianing...are you awake?"

The emperor wanted to say something, but the queen mother saw through his thoughts at a glance, and feigned anger and said: "Don't try to hide it from Aijia, do you want to be used by others again for what happened today?"

These words hit the emperor's heart, he said helplessly: "I haven't woken up, the imperial doctor said that if I haven't woken up tomorrow, I will find a way to use medicine."

The queen mother fell silent when she heard the words, and it took a long time before she choked up, "Jianing, this child has a hard life."

Xie Shuangge burst into tears suddenly, and a layer of mist appeared on the outside of the jade pendant.

Chu Wuhen's fingers fell down and just touched the edge, and his fingertips were a little wet. His heart moved, and without squinting, he gently stroked the jade pendant with his fingers, and this time he really felt some water.

All the previous clues were suddenly revealed, and Chu Wuhen seemed to feel it.

He paused for a moment with his fingertips, and rubbed the jade pendant more gently.

Xie Shuangge felt a little pressure on her head, which made her stunned, and the sad mood dissipated a lot, replaced by a bit of inexplicable shyness and uneasiness.

However, Chu Wuhen only touched it, and quickly withdrew his hand.

The emperor's lips trembled, he turned his head and his eyes were red, "It's useless for the son, in the end he let a junior protect the son."

"Don't talk about that, what's the use?" The queen mother patted the brocade quilt to ease her emotions, "Where's Shen Hanyu? How did he react?"

Hearing this name, Xie Shuangge had mixed feelings.

Chu Wuhen also raised his eyes, and the emperor said, "I went to visit Jianing, but Wuhen kicked him out."

The queen mother looked at Chu Wuhen in the corner in surprise, "Why?"

Chu Wuhen repeated the set of arguments he used to deal with the emperor, but the queen mother stared at him twice, then smiled, "You are right, the Ai family doesn't like that child Shen Hanyu very much. "

The emperor was still a little hesitant about what Chu Wuhen said before, but seeing that the Queen Mother didn't like him at this time, he told the Queen Mother about Chu Wuhen's plan.

After listening to the Queen Mother, she thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "This plan can be done. If he is willing, the Ai family will not treat him badly when Jianing wakes up. If he is not willing, hehe - this tall branch, he will never even try to climb it in his life. .”

Xie Shuangge let out a long breath, and said softly: "Shen Hanyu, I hope you don't let us down."
