The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 86 Longevity Banquet Seven
Sun Hongling wanted to speak, but Shen Shuning slapped her harder.

"Your daughter has done such a scandal, and you don't want to save yourself, but you still bite people here. Is the palace a place where you make a lot of noise?"

Sun Hongling received a few slaps and her voice became much softer: "Elder Princess..."

Dan Hong was considerate of her master's hand, stepped forward, and slapped the other half of her face.

"Princess told you to shut up, do you understand?"

Sun Hongling was beaten until her ears were ringing. When she raised her head, she saw a dark crowd, all of whom were princes and nobles who were familiar with her.

She finally stopped talking and allowed the two guards to drag her away.

When Sun Hongling was escorted to kneel down in the Qianyuan Hall, Shen Xiao was dragging his forehead with one hand and writing on paper with an ink pen in the other.

After Shen Xiao wrote the last few strokes, he hesitated for a long time. He looked at the blank space under the few lines of words, and finally the pen tip did not fall again.

He frowned in pain, folded the paper and placed it under the inkstone, then raised his eyes to look at the woman who kept kowtowing in the hall.

The golden brick floor of Qianyuan Hall was banged by her.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine must have been framed by someone. She will definitely not be able to do such a thing!"

"The conduct of Marquis Yongchang is not so absurd!"

"The emperor clearly observes!"

Shen Xiao was drunk and a little drowsy. He pinched his eyebrows and said, "Wait a minute, she's not here yet."

Just like Cao Qing, who was about to die, Jiang Qingyue would want to meet him.

Now that Sun Hongling is about to die, Jiang Qingyue must have something to say to her.

Sun Hongling looked at the emperor in confusion: "Who?"

After half a stick of incense, a woman walked in.

Sun Hongling looked back: "Jiang Qingyue?!"

Jiang Qingyue walked up to her and looked at her condescendingly, admiring her embarrassment.

Sun Hongling's face turned pale, "You, it was you who harmed my daughter!"

Jiang Qingyue looked at her coldly.

"I have never understood how a beast like Zhang Yunhui could kill my mother out of jealousy. You did such a bad thing and took a life on your back. What did you gain?"

Sun Hongling shook her head desperately: "It's not me! Lu Yunjin committed suicide!"

"It was you who threatened my mother with Aunt Fang's life and made her fall into the hands of the eldest prince. If not, how could my mother be forced to commit suicide?"

Jiang Qingyue told the past events calmly, and then said: "Death is just one word, it's too easy for you."

She came close to Sun Hongling's face and raised the corners of her lips, "I want Yongchang Hou to be ruined, and I want future generations to know what a shameless person he is. I also want future generations to always mention your daughter when they scold him. You guys. This family will be reviled and ridiculed by others for thousands of years."

Sun Hongling fell to the ground unconsciously. In panic, she suddenly thought of something and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, did you hear it? You heard it!"

Shen Xiao sat on the large sandalwood chair and watched everything indifferently.

"heard it."

Sun Hongling said happily: "Jiang Qingyue admitted that she wanted to kill the imperial concubine! Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is innocent!"

Shen Xiao said in a calm tone: "She can't be forgiven for having such a father and mother. Mrs. Sun, it is only right that a father pays his debt to his son. Your daughter was harmed by you."

Sun Hongling didn't seem to understand what he said. She pointed directly at Jiang Qingyue and said, "Your Majesty! She admitted it! It's her who wants to take revenge on us, it's her..."

Shen Xiao smiled: "So what?"

so what?
Sun Hongling looked at the emperor blankly, then at Jiang Qingyue, her eyes going back and forth between the two of them several times.

Jiang Qingyue clearly admitted it, why did the emperor say this?
Shen Xiao leaned back on the large sandalwood chair and said helplessly: "Every time I see your daughter, I will think of her mother who killed people, but lived safely in the world... Good and evil will be rewarded, this is the way of heaven. That’s why I hate your daughter so much.”

Sun Hongling didn't understand.

Why should I be made a concubine or a noble concubine?
Why should she be named the Madam of Zhenguo!

This is not affection, but disgust?
Sun Hongling only understood one thing: the emperor wanted to protect Jiang Qingyue to the end.She hit her forehead heavily on the ground: "Since I am the culprit, I don't want to die a good death, but I beg the emperor to spare the life of the noble concubine!"

Shen Xiao did not make a decision and asked Jiang Qingyue with his eyes.

Jiang Qingyue said: "Okay, from tomorrow you will go to the brothel and accept guests under your name, Sun Hongling, for five years. If you serve for five years before you die, Zhang Shuting's life will be saved."

Sun Hongling's eyes were scarlet.

She would rather die in the most brutal way than become a prostitute.

"Why don't you cut me into pieces? Isn't this enough to relieve your anger?"

"No," Jiang Qingyue said quietly, "Don't you love to humiliate my mother's innocence the most? You are noble, you are noble. If I can't see you living in the world and being ridiculed by thousands of people, I won't be willing to do it."

Sun Hongling knelt down and grabbed the hem of her skirt, tears streaming down her face: "Jiang Qingyue, Qingyue, you are a good person and a good girl. It will not harm your children. Please let my daughter go..."

Jiang Qingyue kicked the woman away.

"Why?"

Why should she still have kind thoughts towards the children of her enemy and be a good person even though her parents suffered so much humiliation and pain, and the Yin and Yang were separated?

"If you don't go..." Jiang Qingyue came closer to her face, "Aren't you laughing at my father's disability? How about I castrate your eldest son? I'll let my grandson die, and let your two daughters die in humiliation. Sun Hongling, if you don’t sell yourself, your children will be harmed by you.”

The appearance of her eldest son appeared in front of Sun Hongling's eyes, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"I'm going, I'm going!"

After she said this, she fell to the ground and fainted.

Jiang Qingyue stood there and looked at the woman's face for a long time.

She and Zhang Yunhui were truly made for each other. Why didn't they fall in love?If they love each other, they will not harm others.

Shen Xiao walked up to her and reached out to wipe the tears on her face. Only then did she realize that she had shed so many tears without knowing it.

Jiang Qingyue dropped to her knees and saluted him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me."

Shen Xiao helped her up: "You should never say thank you to me like this."

Jiang Qingyue stood up and took a step back, leaving his hand empty.

"The courtier's wife will leave."

When Shen Xiao heard the word "courtesy wife", he felt harsh and had a headache. He frowned, but didn't say anything more. He just said: "I'll let someone carry the sedan chair. You..."

"You can go," Jiang Qingyue smiled at him, "You are tired too, so take a rest early."

Shen Xiao nodded, "Yeah."
-
In the carriage returning to the palace, Shen Gu congratulated her: "The great revenge has been avenged, and you can feel at ease from now on."

"Thank you." Jiang Qingyue said.

Shen Gu asked: "What happened to your clothes?"

Jiang Qingyue looked down and found that her clothes were stained with a lot of dust, some light and some heavy.

"It fell to the floor," she said.

A few night pearls illuminated the carriage brightly.

When she raised her head, Shen Gu saw the lingering traces on her neck.

"You were in Qianyuan Hall just now..." He hesitated to speak.

Jiang Qingyue confessed: "He drank too much, and I didn't refuse."

Shen Gu was stunned, he didn't understand.

"Why don't you refuse?"
