Chapter 372: None of them are easy to deal with
in the palace.
Beside the dragon couch, Concubine Yin blew the medicine in her hand gently while whispering softly, "Your Majesty, there is something that I am quite uneasy about. I wonder if I should tell you or not?"
The emperor frowned slightly: "If it's not appropriate to say it, don't say it!"
Last night, he finally had a good sleep. Today, he was able to relax, so he didn't want to hear any more bad things.
What could Concubine Yin have to worry about? It was nothing more than her son who was demoted to a commoner!
Concubine Yin choked and didn't know how to reply for a moment. She could only say coquettishly: "Your Majesty..."
If a younger concubine acted shy and charming like this, perhaps the old emperor would be able to soften his heart, but Concubine Yin was nearly forty years old, and although her face was well maintained, it could not resist the erosion of time. So when the old emperor saw her artificial appearance that was extremely inconsistent with her age, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Princess Yin, this pink headdress doesn't suit you. Don't wear it next time!"
The Emperor's sudden comment left Concubine Yin stunned. She subconsciously touched the pink headdress on her head, which she had specially chosen for today. It made her face look rosy, hoping to bring a sense of freshness to the Emperor. However, she did not expect that it would have the opposite effect.
She suppressed her displeasure and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake: "Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will pay attention to my dress next time."
The emperor's displeasure eased a little when he saw her bowing her head and admitting her fault, but he still waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, leave."
How could Concubine Yin leave without achieving her goal? She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then stood up and bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do. It's about Ce'er. Our Ce'er is so pitiful. He was beaten with forty sticks in the street!"
When the emperor heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Who dares to beat him in the street?"
Although Xiao Liangce was demoted to a commoner by him, he was still his prince. Without his order, who would dare to punish him with a stick in public?
When the emperor said this, Concubine Yin's eyes flashed with a gleam of success. She quickly took the opportunity to exaggerate and said, "Your Majesty, it was the Prince of Yan. Ce'er just had some verbal disputes with him, and he ordered Ce'er to be beaten with forty sticks in public, almost beating Ce'er to death. Poor Ce'er was humiliated physically and mentally, and now he is lying in bed, unable to move. You must make a decision for Ce'er!"
After hearing this, the emperor's face darkened instantly: "How can this be absurd? Although Ce'er has been demoted to a commoner, he is still my prince after all. How can the Prince of Yan be so disrespectful of the royal family and publicly punish him with a cane?"
Seeing the emperor angry, Concubine Yin was delighted and continued, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan not only openly beat Ce'er with a stick, but also hit him very hard, without any regard for the brotherhood. He simply disregarded the reputation of the royal family. You must punish him severely."
When the emperor heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he slowly spoke again: "The Prince of Yan is not only guilty but also blind. How can he subdue Ce'er? Not to mention Shen Quan!"
He heard from Su Hu that Xiao Hanye almost died on the way to exile, and that his life in Yanzhou was also difficult. He was neglected by the prefect and even the yard he lived in was in tatters. He relied on game for three meals a day.
Could it be that Su Hu was bribed?
He slapped the bed angrily: "Jiang Shou!"
Soon, Jiang Shou arrived, and he brought a memorial with him: "Your Majesty, this is the confession of guilt presented by the old general Murong Lin. Would you like to take a look?"
The emperor took the letter, glanced at it casually, and then looked at it carefully.
The memorial detailed how Xiao Liangce and Shen Meng'er framed the Princess of Yan, how he had the audacity to help the King of Yan punish them, and his remorse and self-blame for the incident.
"Hmph! I actually forgot about this old thing!" The emperor cursed after reading the memorial.
Although Murong Lin's words in the memorial were harsh, how could the old emperor not see that he was defending Xiao Hanye in every way.
This old guy actually returned to Yanzhou. It seems that Yanzhou will be lively in the future...
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that her good time was interrupted, Concubine Yin couldn't help but remind him.
The emperor glanced at her and said quietly, "Concubine Yin, I'm telling your precious son to stop causing trouble for me. Also, no matter how he quarrels with the Prince of Yan in the future, he should not bother me again if he is not dead. Back off!"
When Concubine Yin heard the emperor's words, her face froze instantly, and her heart was filled with resentment and grievance. She wanted to vent her anger for her Ce'er, but she didn't expect the emperor to have this attitude.
But she did not dare to disobey, so she could only bow and salute respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave. Please take care of yourself!" After that, she turned around and left the bedroom.
Jiang Shou saw the emperor throw the memorial on the ground. He bent down and carefully picked it up, then took the medicine beside the bed and whispered, "Your Majesty, the medicine is cold. You should take it now."
The old emperor did not take the bowl, but said sinisterly: "Both of them are restless masters. How could I give birth to so many evil obstacles?"
He let out a long breath, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
Jiang Shou consoled him, "Your Majesty, you still have the King."
Hearing this, the old emperor's mood improved a little. Yes, as long as his children were safe, then he was safe.
Afterwards, he took the bowl from Jiang Shou's hand, drank the dark medicine in one gulp, and then said in a deep voice: "Tell the Yanzhou government office that if my two sons do something as shameful as going to court again, then he will no longer have to work in this government office!"
These two evil creatures are not easy to deal with. They are almost destroying themselves and still don't stop. It's really unreasonable!
Meanwhile, Chu Nanyue was carefully handling the Gastrodia elata in her hands. My God, Gastrodia elata was a rare and precious medicinal material. Due to its fragility, she was extremely careful, fearing that it would break and affect the amount of her hard-earned money.
She stuck out her big butt and lay on the ground, just short of having an intimate contact with the earth.
"Boa constrictor! Boa constrictor! Run! Run!"
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of coal in her ears. Chu Nanyue was so scared that her hands trembled and she crushed a marijuana stick.
Mudd!
She didn't have time to feel sad because a gust of cold wind was blowing towards her. When she raised her eyes, she saw a giant snake spitting out blood-red tongue in front of her. She was so scared that she stood still on the ground, cursing the coal a hundred times in her heart.
Damn, what’s the use of tipping off?
She didn't have time to run!
