Chapter 287: Double the Punishment
Chapter 287: Double the Punishment
Ruyi huddled in the corner of the bed, looking at Empress Fucha and Yan Wan in horror, and did not even rush out and run away while the two were talking.
Yanwan glanced at Ruyi, and felt more relaxed when she saw her silly look of just crying when she was beaten.
If Her Majesty wants to deal with Ruyi, then let Her Majesty do it. Her Majesty must be very bored taking medicine every day to recuperate.
Ruyi felt uncomfortable being looked at by Yanwan. She wanted to speak, but was afraid of being beaten by Yanwan again. It was not until she saw Yanwan retreating behind Empress Fucha that she cleared her throat and said, "Doesn't the Empress care about Concubine Ling?"
Empress Fucha ignored her words and said calmly, "I know you are a respectable person. The one crying in the palace in the middle of the night is definitely not you."
Ruyi opened her mouth and finally said calmly: "You are the queen, whatever you say is what it is."
Empress Fucha nodded and said, "Since you have admitted it, then this matter ends here. I have already investigated it clearly. Someone is crying and wailing on purpose to affect the reputation of your Yikun Palace."
Ruyi felt that this was a little wrong: "That's not what I meant..."
Empress Fucha was very patient: "So what you mean is that it was you who cried day and night in the palace, and everyone in the palace knew about it, and even the ladies who entered the palace could hear your crying from a few miles away?"
Ruyi: “…”
She opened her mouth, but was unable to argue.
Empress Fucha's face was full of patience: "It's okay, Concubine Xian, you can take your time to make up the story, but I have to tell you that if you howl without regard for your dignity, then I will arrange for the most strict nanny to teach you.
Didn't you have a close relationship with Concubine Ling's mother before? Then you should know her tutor, Aunt Gui, right? Aunt Gui is kind and patient. I can bring her back to teach you. "
When Ruyi heard the name of Nanny Gui, her mind began to recall the difficult days that Madam Wei had talked to her about, including but not limited to which foot to step first when walking and what to eat first when eating.
She shuddered, "Empress, I am weak now, how can I howl for miles? It's all because of the sea... Ah Ruo had her teeth pulled out, so she cried day and night, causing unrest in the six palaces.
She not only cried in the Yikun Palace, but also cried on the way to Xinzheku in the morning and on the way back in the evening, so she was heard by the ladies in and out of the palace. "
Empress Fucha nodded: "So that's how it is."
She asked the senior maid beside her: "Did you write it down?"
The head maid nodded, opened the paper and pen she had brought with her, and wrote quickly: "Madam, I have finished writing."
Ruyi’s face twitched.
Empress Fucha raised her chin calmly and said, "Open the ink pad and let Concubine Xian place her hand print."
Ruyi's face turned ugly: "What does the Queen mean by this?"
Empress Fucha said calmly, "I am afraid that you will go to the Emperor and be unable to defend yourself, so it is better to leave a written receipt."
Ruyi: “…”
Yan Wan laughed out loud.
Ruyi's eyebrows were raised: "What does this mean, Concubine Ling?"
Yan Wan said softly, "Princess Xian is really overthinking after giving birth. I just suddenly thought of a joke, so I couldn't help laughing out loud."
Ruyi was so angry that she was shaking all over. A joke? Was Wei Yanwan saying that she was a joke? !
She said gloomily, "If you hadn't ordered Jinzhong to seal off the entire Yikun Palace and openly imprison me, how could I have needed to work day and night... to let Ah Ruo suffer injustice and have no choice but to cry everywhere?!"
Yan Wan was surprised. Huh? So there is such a thing as Jin Zhong? He is really a man who does good things but does not want to be known for it.
Empress Fucha's fingers gripping the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened, then slowly relaxed, frowning slightly and saying, "The Emperor knows that you love to act recklessly, and he's afraid that you won't take good care of yourself and run around everywhere, so he asked Jinzhong to watch over the Yikun Palace. You love to think about random things."
Ruyi sneered: "Why? The Queen and Concubine Ling have such a good relationship, but she didn't even tell you that she was with a eunuch..."
Yan Wan suddenly spoke up, "Before, everyone was afraid that Concubine Xian would suffer from postpartum disorders and be fragile, so they didn't tell Concubine Xian that your brother has been more and more naughty recently, often sneaking out in the middle of the night to go on the boat and have fun. Yesterday, he fell into the water and I'm afraid he won't live long."
Ruyi was stunned, her face turned pale: "You, what did you say?!"
She suddenly remembered what Jinzhong had warned her before - if she mentioned Wei Yanwan's relationship with him again, he would take action against her family! He actually dared!
She spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Wei Yanwan! How dare you order Jinzhong to harm my brother!"
Yan Wan looked at her in surprise: "You call yourself this palace in front of the queen and me? Ulanara, I think you are becoming more and more ignorant of the seriousness of the situation.
Your Majesty, my mother is now in prison for life and no longer needs a nanny to teach her. Why don't you ask Nanny Gui to teach Concubine Xian so that she won't be thrown out of the palace in disgrace? "
Ruyi was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood again, but Empress Fucha had already agreed and even praised Yanwan: "I know you have always been a tactful person. I will tell the emperor about this matter in person. I believe the emperor does not want Concubine Xian to continue to embarrass herself."
Ruyi's throat itched: "Empress..."
Empress Fucha asked the head maid to give the confession to Ruyi: "Do you want to press your fingerprints yourself, or do you want me to ask someone to press them for you?"
Ruyi was surprised by Empress Fucha's toughness. She stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "The Queen thinks that I... I lost my child, and the Emperor doesn't come to see me, so do you think I have fallen out of favor again?"
Empress Fucha showed a helpless expression: "Perhaps, you want to discuss your howling day and night in front of the emperor?"
Ruyi’s face froze.
Empress Fucha let her look unhappy and had no intention of calling back the head palace maid.
Ruyi was angry for a long time, but finally pressed her fingerprints.
Empress Fucha stood up and said, "That Ah Ruo has cried away all the blessings in your palace. She has committed a serious crime, but she was given to you by the Emperor to comfort you. I will punish her lightly and warn her severely. From today on, let the fetal monitor who lives with her take the punishment for her."
Ruyi simply couldn't come back to her senses.
Why should Ling Yunche suffer the consequences for Hai Lan's mistakes?!
Ruyi was furious: "Why did the Queen have to do this? Ling Yunche has suffered enough, why do you have to punish him? You might as well punish me directly!"
Empress Fucha looked at Ruyi coldly: "Princess Xian, I hope you don't forget your identity. This month, you should think carefully in your room, are you Ling Yunche's woman, or the emperor's woman!"
She turned around, took Yan Wan's hand, walked to the door, and ordered someone to come over: "That guy named Ling Yunche will be punished by being restrained for an hour every day, and slapped twenty times. If Yikun Palace makes any more noise, the punishment will be doubled!"
Sanbao, who hurried over, almost laughed his face off when he heard this: "Yes! I obey your command!!!"
