Chapter 205

A cold voice sounded, knowing that today was doomed, Dongfang Ningxue just wanted to lower her head and escape as soon as possible.

"The concubine has no objection to the Queen Mother's words."

"I don't have any objection. Just now, I punished the servants around you. Now I will tell you what is wrong with what you did today." Su Wan said coldly, "Mr. Xue, as a concubine of the harem, It can be said that she is the most favored concubine in the harem recently. You are supposed to help the emperor solve problems, but you are here to find faults and pick thorns. In other words, you are just a new nobleman in the palace. Without your title, how can you have the qualifications for the Ninth Princess to salute you."

"The empress's teaching today, Ningxue will keep it in her heart."

Just as Dongfang Ningxue finished speaking, a voice that seemed to be smiling but not smiling came over, "It's been a long time since the Qionghua Banquet passed, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know what mistake this noble Xue made. so angry?"

The voice floated from far to near, Su Wan turned her head, and saw Dong Qingxue and Xiao Jingjing walking slowly.

Dong Qingxue and Xiao Jingjing approached, bowed to Su Wanfu, "I have seen the Queen's sister—"

The unanimous words sounded, Su Wan nodded, "You two sisters are so polite!"

Just after they saluted, the crowd headed by Wanhua blessed themselves and saluted again.

"I've seen Empress Concubine De, I've seen Empress Xiao——"

"Just now I heard the palace people say that the Queen's sister is here, so I brought my sister Xiao over to have a look. Unexpectedly, you are really here." Dong Qingxue smiled, paused and said: "It's just Looking at it, it seems that something important has happened, but sister Queen needs our help?"

"I appreciate the kindness of the two younger sisters. Today, I was appointed by the emperor. I came to receive the ninth concubine to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. Speaking of which, it was Xuegui who didn't understand the rules of the palace and stopped the ninth concubine. The words also collided with the Ninth Concubine, in order not to fall into the shoes of others, I just wanted to seek justice for the Ninth Concubine, which is a trivial matter." Su Wan replied with a smile.

Seeing that he was mentioned, Shen Jinyan smiled and nodded at Dong Qingxue and Xiao Jingjing.

"I would like to say that I have seen Concubine De and Concubine Xiao."

Dong Qingxue and Dong Qingxue had been watching from the side just now, thinking that Shen Jinyan and the queen had a very close relationship, so they didn't salute them now, although they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces, and nodded as a response.

"Sister Queen, this is in accordance with the rules of the harem. Anyone who does not abide by the rules of the harem and commits offenses below will be punished twenty times with a cane, and those who are more serious will be assigned to work in the laundry room. But sister Queen, you also know that Xuegui is the most important person around the emperor now. The favored concubine, this body has to be reserved for the emperor. If you want me to say, sister queen, you can let Xue Guiren kneel down to apologize to the nine princesses, and take ten sticks as punishment, which can be regarded as giving Xue Guiren a long memory. "

While speaking, Dong Qingxue, who had long hated Dongfang Ningxue to the bone, ordered directly to Wanhua: "Wanhua, don't rush to execute this punishment, this queen sister is still waiting to finish these things so that she can accompany the ninth princess Enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden."

Although Su Wan didn't like this kind of overreaching, when Wanhua gave her a look of asking for instructions, she nodded lightly, "Sister Dong is right, Wanhua, just do what Concubine De said."

"Empress, you—"

Dongfang Ningxue glared at Su Wan with wide eyes, her eyes were full of sorrow, Su Wan's brows turned cold, as if she couldn't understand, she asked in a faint voice, "Do you have any other opinions, Mrs. Xue?"

"The concubine has no objection." Dongfang Ningxue gritted her teeth.

"Since you have no objection, then apologize quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

Under Su Wan's dissatisfied eyes, Dongfang Ningxue turned her head and looked in Shen Jinyan's direction. If eyes can kill, then Shen Jinyan has already been killed by Dongfang Ningxue's eyes a thousand or eight hundred times.

Although unwilling, Dongfang Ningxue knelt down directly on the ground, "Ninth Concubine, this concubine used to be a little girl in the Jianghu, and only knew the way of getting along with people in the Jianghu. This concubine accidentally offended you. Also please Ninth Concubine don't care about the courtiers and concubines."

"Your Majesty Xue, you speak like this princess is very unreasonable. Isn't it because I don't know etiquette? This princess didn't take this matter to heart at all, but you, it's winter and the ground is cold, you'd better get up quickly, if you accidentally hurt your bones, if the emperor blames you, this princess can't afford it."

Shen Jinyan said with a coquettish smile, walked forward quickly, and was about to reach out to help Dongfang Ningxue who was kneeling on the ground, but Su Wan who was next to her gave her a hand, "Jinyan, Mrs. Xue, she is about to leave now." If you want to be held accountable, don't worry about it."

"Sister-in-law Huang is absolutely right."

While speaking, under Su Wan's tugging, Shen Jinyan stepped back quickly, and Wanhua immediately ordered to the two old nuns next to her: "Take Mrs. Xuegui down, after the punishment, take her down, and by the way let her Re-learn the harem rules."

The two old nuns at the side responded in a low voice, and went forward to help Dongfang Ningxue's hand, and someone beside her had already brought up the things needed for the staff.

Knowing that all of them were embarrassed by her, a sense of humiliation welled up in her heart. Dongfang Ningxue shook off the hands of the two nuns, walked over and lay down on the stool. Seeing her cooperate, the two The old mammy picked up the stick and started beating.

"what--"

Dongfang Ningxue's pain rang in her ears, and everyone headed by Su Wan also watched quietly.

And every time the stick hit her body, even if the pain was half dead, Dongfang Ningxue still gritted her teeth and kept silent, but the hatred for Shen Jinyan in her heart increased by two points.

Just when the rod was struck for the seventh time, an angry voice came.

"stop--"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Huang Puxian, who was wearing a bright yellow robe, walking swiftly.

At that time, the eunuch who followed behind shouted loudly: "The emperor is here——"

"The concubine has met the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Your Majesty, help—"

Hearing this shrill cry, Huang Pu Xianyi, who was approaching quickly, went directly to the beaten Dongfang Ningxue without even looking at Su Wan and the others, and pushed away One of Dongfang Ningxue's nuns reached out to support Dongfang Ningxue.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is in so much pain, the concubine is wronged, I beg the emperor to be the master for the concubine!"

"My dear concubine, don't be afraid, you speak slowly, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Looking at Dongfang Ningxue, who was pear blossoms and raining in the blink of an eye, and won the pity of Huangpu Xianyi, Shen Jinyan grinned. In her opinion, this ancient woman is more competitive than modern people.

"Shen Jinyan, no matter how far it is from the palace gate to here, you can cause trouble."

Some dissatisfied words came to her ears, Shen Jinyan turned her head and glanced at Huang Pu Xize, who came to her side at some time, and said innocently, "My lord, you believe me, I just want to see you Empress, and then enjoy the flowers together, and wait for you to come and pick me up, I really didn't do anything."

"Are you trying to say that it was Dongfang Ningxue who came to find fault with you, and then other people rushed over, and things became like this?"

"My lord, you are really clever." Shen Jinyan said with a smile.

"I have always thought that I have a thick skin, but I never thought that you are even thicker than this king. In my opinion, you are good at turning right from wrong into black and white."

Hearing this, Shen Jinyan's face darkened again and again, and the corners of Huang Pu Xize's lips curled into an imperceptible arc, and he grabbed Shen Jinyan's hand directly, and held it tightly without allowing her to struggle.

"The king's business has been settled. There is nothing for the king in this palace for the time being. Let's go, let's go back to the mansion."

Shen Jinyan was about to say yes, when Huang Pu Xianyi's cold voice sounded.

"Ninth brother, your princess beat my beloved concubine, should you give me an explanation about this matter?"

"Your majesty, the so-called husband and wife are one. This king's concubine can represent this king. Mrs. Xue Gui came to trouble this king and concubine with no eyesight, and this king's concubine fought back in self-defense. Could it be that there is something wrong?" Pu Xize sneered coldly: "Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with the so-called wanting to commit crimes. In this matter of the imperial palace and harem, only the empress can punish Mrs. Xuegui. What's the matter with this king's concubine?"

"Ninth brother, you—"

Before Huang Pu Xianyi could finish speaking, Huang Pu Xize interrupted, "Everyone knows the so-called love of beauty, if the emperor disregards the safety of the country because of a woman, or disregards the palace In terms of etiquette, not to mention that this king does not agree, even many civil and military officials will agree. Of course, if the emperor wants to be like this king, he wants beauties and not Jiangshan. He feels that dealing with state affairs is too tiring and wants to sit down Meirenhuai, if you ignore the government from now on, the emperor might as well abdicate early to let the virtuous, and give up the dragon chair that has been sitting for many years to Rui'er, who is His Royal Highness, I believe that Rui'er will govern the country well."

"Huang Pu Xize, just based on your rebellious words, I can punish you according to the laws of the country."

"If the emperor has such a heart, this king can't stop it, but he will accompany him."

After finishing the cold sarcasm, regardless of Huang Pu Xianyi's anger, Huang Pu Xize turned around, and the painting style changed so quickly that before Shen Jinyan could recover, he was forcibly pulled by Huang Pu Xize , walked quickly to the direction of the palace gate.

"My lord, if we leave like this, will there be no problem?"

"What do you think will be the problem?"

"The emperor said just now that he wants the country to deal with us, he—"

"He dare not!" Huangpu Xize said coldly, "There have been changes in the six cities of the Three Kingdoms. At that time in Huangpu, I was the only suitable candidate who could lead troops to the battlefield. Now he still wants to take advantage of it." This king is working hard for him, he will not deal with me right now, in short, let’s ignore these things for the time being, after this king arranges everything in the imperial city, you and this king will go to the Valley of the Medicine King.”

With a low oh, Shen Jinyan didn't say anything, and followed Huang Pu Xize's footsteps out of the palace gate.

The two quickly got into the carriage, and the carriage was driving slowly on the official road. Seeing Huang Pu Xize leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, he had no intention of talking to her, and Shen Jinyan also sat aside tactfully.

Looking at the scar on the corner of Huang Pu Xize's mouth, Shen Jinyan couldn't help but think of everything that happened in the carriage before the two entered the palace just now, and couldn't help but blush.

Although the man over there was still resting with his eyes closed, Shen Jinyan felt that the man seemed to be looking at her. She was a little uncomfortable and she lifted the curtain of the carriage from time to time to look at the scenery outside the window.

"The king is not asleep, so just speak up if you have something to say."
