The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 136 Punishment
The queen mother sighed faintly, "Crown princess, are you guilty?"

"Chen and concubine are guilty."

Zhou Ying lowered her head and fell on the ground, she had nothing to say, the words came from her own mouth, and it must be her own way that the misfortune came from her mouth.

"We are guilty of disturbing the empress dowager and the emperor. We are willing to accept the punishment. I implore the emperor to forgive me. Qian and Zhang and two other Fengyi are pregnant. I have committed jealousy and should be punished. I am willing to bear all the crimes with all my strength, and I implore the emperor to spare the pregnant woman for the sake of the sons of the East Palace."

Huilan kowtowed again and responded loudly.

"Why did you come here when you knew you would be punished?"

The emperor asked angrily.

"People do what they do and don't do it. I was born and raised by my mother's family. I have no place to be sorry for me. Even if I don't add luster to my mother's family, I shouldn't damage my mother's reputation and family style. This matter can be big or small. I must come to ask for it." To be fair, to seek justice for myself, for my natal family's reputation, and for the East Palace's reputation.

The East Palace already has an heir, and this matter is a family matter after all, and it will not be spread outside, but I started it by gathering people to make trouble, and I should take responsibility for this crime. "

Reasonable, principled and responsible, and scruples about Donggong's face, these words minimized the emperor's anger.

If you don't even care about your family's reputation, why should the emperor care about your life?You don't even have any backbone, and you are not worthy of being the daughter of a powerful family.

"Since you admit it, you will be punished for copying the Tao Te Ching a hundred times. After copying, I will hand it over to me for inspection. Mrs. Li and Ma will copy it together. If there is one word missing, your heads will be cut off. Others will wait until they are pregnant. Not this time I will be held accountable and will not be an example."

"We will thank the emperor for his kindness."

The crowd commanded in unison.

The emperor stared at Zhou Ying for a long time, his eyes gradually became cold and then became extremely cold.

At this time, the Queen also came over after hearing the news. She was a step late when she got the news, and Si Mou decided to come over again, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

"Ask the Empress for her makeup."

After everyone saluted, the queen sat down.

"Queen, Your Majesty, I came here after hearing the news. I'm sorry I came late, and I made the Queen and the Emperor worry about you. What are you doing, Wenwen?"

The queen turned her head and questioned Mrs. Ma first. This is her niece from her mother's family. No matter what, she still needs to protect her big face. She can't really make her cousin feel cold.

"Empress, it's not my fault this time. The crown princess insulted us as sluts with legs apart. I didn't pick things up, I swear."

When Madam Ma saw the queen coming, she burst into tears immediately.

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?"

The queen also stared round in shock. On the way here, the palace servants said that the princess made a big mistake and said something that should not have been said, but they didn't say anything. Only then did they hear the truth.

"Crown princess, it was you who said this. You are a decent lady. You should be virtuous and magnanimous. How can you speak evil words? You have read women's virtues and women's precepts into the stomach of a dog. You said Who's the bitch?"

She was so angry that her hands trembled a little, it was unbelievable that such a dignified wife would say such a thing.

The last time Ma Wenwen was beaten by the queen mother, the queen went to plead guilty without saying a word. This should not be said because Ma Wenwen had no brains to say something wrong, otherwise she should be treated better in the palace than she is now, but the queen is angry with her too much. Stupid, it's kind of ignorant.

Zhou Ying lowered her head and straightened her back without saying anything, she still maintained her original posture, as if she wanted to let you punish her.

"What kind of attitude do you have? Who do you show humiliation to yourself when you do something wrong? You mean that this palace is also shameless. My Ma clan is loyal and upright, how can I allow you to slander me.

Which one of the present is not the daughter of an official, who entered the palace with a clean body, how can you humiliate others with your status.Who gave you the guts.

This is simply unreasonable. I have been in charge of the harem for more than 20 years. No one has ever dared to say such a thing. You are marrying a prince, a royal man, not a small farmer. "

The queen also spoke harshly, more to shock Zhou Ying's stupidity, but yes, this cheap son inherited his mother's beauty, and few women could escape his charm and temptation.

Turning her head and taking a deep breath, "Mother, how can you solve this problem? I have never seen such a daughter-in-law. I said why did you come here all at once."

"I'm the one who wants to come. I'm going to report to the Empress Dowager. On the way here, I heard from Sister Ma that you are not feeling well recently. We hesitated again and again not to disturb you. We had no choice but to come to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to seek justice."

Huilan responded immediately and took all the blame.

"Are you that Ding family?"

The queen is very concerned about the affairs of the East Palace.

"Yes."

"It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, and you are also making a big mistake."

The queen took the opportunity to suppress Huilan's arrogance.

"Yes, the emperor has punished us just now, and we are willing to accept the punishment."

Huilan behaved very obediently, neither talking back nor refuting.

Only then did the queen snort that she was not chasing and beating her fiercely. Today's opponent is the daughter of the Zhou family, and she cannot be spared.

"The crown princess breaks the women's precept, and she slaps her mouth fifty times."

"Mother, please forgive her. My son is also at fault for this matter. Her face will be ruined after fifty blows. How to meet people in the future, why not let my son do it for me. It is my fault that I did not control the harem well."

Li Chengze immediately stood up and begged for mercy, which he had to do at this time.

"You rebellious son, marrying a daughter-in-law turned the backyard upside down. Zhou Ying, you are not worthy of being a princess. The Zhou family's upbringing is like this. I have to ask Mrs. Zhou how to teach my daughter."

The queen insisted on crushing Zhou Ying to death. Of course, Li Chengze couldn't let her do what she wanted. This was not in line with his plan.

"Please forgive her mother, my son is willing to take the punishment on her behalf."

In the end, it was the queen mother who dissuaded her, "Forget it, just treat it as a face to the prince. If you slap your mouth twenty times, the princess is ill. She will take good care of her body in Yongning Palace, hand over the cards and palace power, and copy the scriptures. There is no order from the prince. No one is allowed to visit."

Her palace power was removed, she was punished with confinement, and she was beaten at the same time.

This punishment is already very heavy. For the status of the crown princess, even the slightest mistake will be magnified. This incident has dealt a severe blow to the face and authority of the crown princess, especially in front of the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress. Good impression, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to make a comeback in the future.

"It's really unreasonable. The prince stays, and the others retreat first."

"promise."

Huilan and the others got up, but the princess was helped up by Nanny Li.

At this time, the queen said, "Hit in the yard, let her wake up for a while."

"Go."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently, you are as stupid as a pig, why should I be troublesome, it is really disappointing.

But Li Chengze couldn't leave, he just sighed a long time, bowed his hands to Li Nanny and begged, meaning don't beat him too hard, Li Nanny nodded with a smile.

Zhou Ying was taken to the courtyard of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Madam Li asked the eunuch in charge of the Queen Mother to personally execute the punishment, and she slapped her mouth twenty times, not less than one.

The clear and crisp sound of slapping the face was soon heard in the room, and it was as painful as the bone marrow without disfiguring the face. This is a real skill.

The palace people watched the whole process, all whispering, which is equivalent to Zhou Ying's face being stripped off, stepped on the ground, stomped her feet, and then spit thick phlegm on her face, which is extremely disgusting.
