Chapter 379 My Hands Were Wasted
"Slap on the face, that's it, thirty."
These words really stunned Yan Wan.
In the previous life, the emperor and the empress had a conflict over deer blood wine. At that time, Ruyi was pregnant, and the emperor asked her -
Is the Queen at fault? Am I at fault? Since neither I nor the Queen is at fault, then who is at fault?
At that time, she could only bear the blame unjustly and became the stepping stone for their flirting. Now...
Yan Wan bowed to the Queen Mother earnestly and said, "I will learn from your teachings. I will strictly discipline the female official in the future and tell her not to harm the emperor's body again."
The Queen Mother nodded, her expression becoming gentler: "It's good that you know what's going on."
The two of them tacitly did not say anything about executing Ruyi. They were both smart people, and they knew that the emperor could fool around with Ruyi to such an extent, which showed that he really liked her body.
In this case, just treat Ruyi as an object, and train and discipline her at any time, so that she becomes round and well-behaved, and does not hurt anyone.
The two waited for a long time, and as the sky was getting light, Hongli came out of the house with a pale face.
Jinzhong had obviously been paying attention to what was happening outside. When he saw the emperor come out, he also came out with a pale face and stood far away.
Hongli looked at Jinzhong, frowning: "...let Jinbao come in to guard and take care of him, and make him recover as soon as possible."
Jinzhong's eyes turned red, and he knelt down to thank the emperor: "I am such a loser, Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself!"
Hongli hummed and walked in front of Yanwan and the Queen Mother: "My son has made the Queen Mother worried."
The Queen Mother looked at him worriedly: "It's a good thing that the Emperor is concerned about state affairs, but your health..."
Hongli took two breaths before saying, "My son will leave the court early today, so don't worry, Madam."
He closed his eyes, and felt his whole body trembling. "As for Ruyi, there is no need to touch her for now."
The Queen Mother said calmly, "She damaged the dragon's body, but she is pregnant. I only asked Fujia to slap her in the face every day. I have really indulged her."
Hongli couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It's just a slap in the face.
It's quite light.
How long has the Empress Dowager been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures?
He thought randomly and said to Yan Wan, "I will be recuperating after returning today. Please take care of the affairs in the palace. It is a good thing to have more children in the palace."
This is a warning to her!
Yan Wan pretended that she didn’t understand: “I was just about to tell His Majesty a piece of good news. Concubine Jia came to report the good news last night. It’s almost certain that she is pregnant, but she hasn’t asked the imperial physician to confirm it yet.
Your Majesty, just focus on your work. Look, the imperial physician originally said that Concubine Jia would not get pregnant, but now she has a child. It shows that destiny is blessing you."
Hongli's complexion improved a lot, and his eyes became gentle: "I have always known that you are a good person."
He patted Yanwan's hand and left.
As soon as he left, Yan Wan looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said, "Since the Emperor is fine, I will go back first. You should take care of the things here and don't let any rumors spread."
Yan Wan responded softly, "Don't worry, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at Fujia and said, "Go, give the girl from the Xian official thirty slaps."
Fujia responded respectfully, smiled at Yan Wan, bowed, and then went into the house. Before Yan Wan had even finished seeing the Queen Mother off, she had already come out.
Aunt Fujia was still the same, calm and steady, taciturn but fond of laughter. She bowed to Yan Wan again and followed the empress dowager's carriage.
Yan Wan: “…”
She suddenly became interested: "Let's go in and take a look."
When she passed Jinzhong, she frowned and asked softly, "The emperor is waiting for the chief steward to serve him. Why is he standing here instead of going to see the imperial physician?"
Jinzhong: “…”
A trace of helplessness and happiness flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "This servant is confused. I will go find the imperial physician to take a look."
He was the chief steward, so naturally the imperial doctors rushed to see him.
Yanwan nodded politely, then took people to Ruyi with a cold face.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Rong Pei's suppressed crying and Ling Yunche's cowardly but sarcastic voice:
"Don't cry, my dear lady, you are just a lady of the imperial court now. If you did something wrong, how can you avoid being beaten as a slave?"
Yanwan paused, then became more interested and wanted to see Ruyi's helpless expression.
As expected, Ruyi did not disappoint her. When she saw her come in, she suddenly raised her head, and the expression on her face showed visible expectation, disappointment, anger, and murderous intent.
Obviously, Ruyi thought that the emperor heard that she was punished and came to see her.
How dare she think!
She has made the emperor sick, but she still thinks he will stop court to see her?
Maybe she really wants to be a witch who brings disaster to the country so that everyone in the world knows her feelings?
Yanwan held Chunchan's hand, walked closer, and leaned over to look closely at Ruyi's face.
The face was badly swollen, and the cheeks were red, as if they were covered with rouge.
Yan Wan burst out laughing: "The appearance of Xianguan girl now looks very much like the dolls in folk New Year paintings, and it's quite festive!"
Ruyi was so angry that she felt dizzy. She remembered that just now Fujia came in and she had just said hello when Fujia slapped her in the face and then left.
When Fujia left, he left behind a sentence - The Empress Dowager has decreed that from today onwards, there will be thirty slaps in the face every day!
Fujia didn't even say when the slapping would stop!
Ruyi looked straight at Yanwan: "It's you! You instigated the Queen Mother...ah!"
Yanwan slapped Ruyi on the face, then slapped her twice with her backhand, then she gasped and shook her hands, took the handkerchief handed to her by Chunchan, and wiped her slender fingers one by one.
She raised her eyebrows: "The official lady is becoming more and more unruly, Queen Mother, do you think you can say anything about it?"
Ruyi was shaking with pain: "This... this servant is pregnant! Is Concubine Ling planning to murder the heir to the throne?!"
Yan Wan slapped Ruyi again with her backhand, this time hitting her cheekbone. Her hand hurt so much that she frowned and shook her hand off:
"Why are you getting more shameless? Chunchan! Bring me another handkerchief, I wiped my hands in vain!"
Ruyi was so angry at her that she couldn't hold her breath, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Rong Pei yelled: "Master? Master!!!"
She turned back suddenly, with an expression like a ghost: "Empress Ling, you..."
Yan Wan looked at Ling Yunche: "Do you know the consequences of offending the imperial concubine?"
Ling Yunche was silent for a while: "...The worst punishment is death, and the lightest punishment is caning."
Yan Wan stroked the sapphire ring on her finger and said, "The only people that Xianguan Women can use are you and her. If you come to execute her, maybe you can save her life. Or, do you prefer me to come?"
Ling Yunche wanted to look up at her, but he didn't dare.
During these few short years as a eunuch, he realized how being a slave in the palace was worse than being an animal.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you for your grace, Imperial Concubine. I am willing to execute Rong Mama."
He knew that this was Concubine Ling's provocation against the only three of them, but it was an open conspiracy and he could only jump into it willingly.
