Zhe Chuntang: She regretted it after provoking crazy critics of powerful officials

Chapter 19 Kneel at the Emperor’s Temple

The matter was settled, and the ministers all retreated and left.

Inside the imperial study.

At this time, only Shen Yuluo and the little emperor were left, and Pei Yan was waiting outside the door.

"Sister Huang...I'm sorry, I'm so useless and let them bully you. You can give me a few scoldings."

The little emperor saw the eldest princess's gloomy face and said nothing, and carefully pulled the corner of her clothes, like a child who had done something wrong.

Shen Yuluo let out a long breath and said with a straight face: "The person you are sorry for is not me, but Concubine Gao, the child in her belly, and the Imperial Censor who was stunned by you!"

She had never spoken to the little emperor in such a stern tone, and the content was similar to what the courtiers had just said. However, the little emperor who had just heard these words and argued angrily had tears streaming down his face and bit his lips. He looked at Shen Yuluo with bright red eyes without feeling aggrieved.

"Why are you crying? It's useless! You are the emperor. You can be majestic and accept the admiration of all people, but you can't be willful or weak! This matter is originally the fault of the imperial sister. When one person does something, everyone should take responsibility. Just bear the consequences, otherwise how will the people of the world view the royal family and you, the emperor?"

Shen Yuluo yelled in a loud voice, which scared the little emperor to the point where he stopped crying and didn't dare to express his anger.

He suddenly remembered the way his father scolded her with a straight face when he was a child. The face in the memory gradually merged with the face in front of him at the moment, causing a cold sweat to break out on his back.

"Sister Huang, don't be angry, I will listen to you."

The little emperor glanced at her secretly, and only dared to make a sound again when he saw that her expression was slightly calmer. Her angry look just now really frightened her.

"Okay, since you are still willing to listen to me, then I will issue an order to appease the Gao family and send someone to visit the Censor. Furthermore, the little prince who died in infancy will be buried alive in the imperial mausoleum and posthumously named the crown prince. He is your majesty ’s first child.”

Shen Yuluo was relieved when she saw that she had frightened the little emperor. In fact, she was not sure that the little emperor would listen to her just now. Her palms were sweating when she got angry.

"But..." The little emperor wanted to refuse, but when he saw the eldest princess's frown, he shrank back and said, "I will do it immediately. Sister Huang, do you really want to kneel in the Emperor's Temple?"

He knew very well that this imperial sister had grown up with a noble family. Not to mention punishment, her father, the emperor, and her mother had not even said a few harsh words. He had been warned since he was a child to take care of and protect his sister.

"Yes."

After saying that, Shen Yuluo didn't stay any longer, turned around and left directly.

After she left, Eunuch Han, the eunuch in charge from behind the screen, came out and said in the ear of the young emperor: "Your Majesty, why does this old servant look at this eldest princess and something is wrong? Even though she looks exactly the same and has different facial expressions and movements. Like, but this way of doing things is like a different person..."

"You found it too?"

The little emperor was stunned. He thought it was his illusion. He always felt that the emperor's sister was not as kind to him as before.

"Hey, maybe this old slave is thinking too much. Nowadays, women will be calmer when they get married. It's this old slave who talks too much!" Eunuch Han is an old fox. He knows where to stop. If he talks too much, he will leave a provocation. The crime of their royal brother-sister relationship.

The little emperor pondered for a while and then shook his head: "No, the emperor's attitude toward the would-be consort has also changed. Her eyes don't look like she's looking at a lover, but rather like she's looking at... an enemy."

"That's just a young couple quarreling. This woman's mood is ever-changing." Eunuch Han continued to talk to Xini.

"Ye Feng, Ye Yu," the little emperor rolled his eyes and called out the two secret guards: "You two have recently gone to keep an eye on the princess's mansion for me. If there is anything abnormal, report it to me immediately. Be careful, don't Let the imperial sister discover you two."

If he is overly concerned, then of course everything will be fine and he can just withdraw the person quietly.If something happened, he had better make plans in advance.

Royal ancestral hall.In the center of the hall are the tablets of ancestors. The wind blowing through the door is eerie and cold.

No one comes here on weekdays, only some palace maids and eunuchs responsible for cleaning have all taken a break at this time.

The cushions under his knees were thin and cold, probably soaked in the cold by not being exposed to the sun for a long time. Shen Yuluo couldn't help but move forward, closer to the candlelight.

She chanted the death curse in her mouth, hoping that the little prince would find a good family in the next life.

Pei Yan, who had been standing at the door and watching her all day, looked relaxed.He originally thought that the eldest princess would find various excuses to ask him to turn a blind eye or simply let her go.

Who would have known that the eldest princess had not said a word to him all day long, she just knelt there quietly, as if she had sincerely repented.

Even when he came back from dinner, he saw the frail woman kneeling upright in the center of the hall from a distance.

Did he miss her wrongly?

"Prime Minister Pei, it's night, won't you go back to your house?"

Shen Yuluo felt that the probing gaze was always staring at her from behind. At this moment, it was pacing back and forth, which disturbed her peace of mind.

Pei Yan stopped walking back and forth. It seemed that she couldn't help but talk to herself. She made up her mind and said that she would not be so honest.

"It doesn't matter, Pei doesn't have a wife or children at home, unlike the eldest princess who has a lot of people caring about her."

He made a sarcastic remark, and only then did he realize that he had talked too much. He used to be too lazy to say a word to Jiang Yin Yue.

It must have been too quiet here today, so he said more.

Shen Yuluo thought about how Pei Yan, who usually looked serious, would say such teasing words, and couldn't help but want to tease him: "What, Mr. Pei also wants to be remembered by me?"

This person has been bored all day. It's really hard for him to be here in the cold to monitor her.

But having been monitoring her for so long, you should know that she won't cheat, right?

Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she always felt as if she would collapse at any time, so she had to say a few more words to wake herself up.

In the past, when she was a ghost, she always talked to herself, but now that there was a living person beside her, it was difficult for her to express herself, so she could only chat with this person for a few words.

"Your Highness be careful!"

Pei Yan really regretted saying anything to her just now. This woman was so crazy. He thought it was ridiculous that such a person could truly repent.

"Oh?" Shen Yuluo continued to tease: "Don't you mean that, Mr. Pei? I thought you were jealous of the people in the house. After all, it's almost night, and you still live in the same room with me alone... …”

Her original intention was to stimulate Pei Yan to return quickly. After all, the impression he left on her was that he was in poor health and died young.If he froze with me and died two years earlier, wouldn't it be his own fault?
Pei Yan listened to her nonsense, walked to her, knelt down, and threatened through gritted teeth: "Elder Princess, if you continue to talk so freely, it seems that the punishment is too light. I don't mind the memorial, and I will kneel with you again." one day!"

"Hahaha, I have said so, but you still want to stay here and not leave. Pei Yan, do you like me..."

As Shen Yuluo spoke, her head became heavy and her body fell forward. She really couldn't hold on anymore.
