Chapter 291: Request to the Emperor
Chapter 291: Request to the Emperor
The emperor looked at Qin Meiniang, and had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, and said:
"Qin Meiniang! Tell me, you're so stupid! It's still a fake stupidity! You have to think clearly, no one can get the care of me and the queen like you, and the opportunity to be canonized as a princess, do you really want to leave Kyoto City like this, and really take my words and orders as a deaf ear? You are so bold, don't think that the queen has always loved you very much, and treat you as her own daughter, you can do nonsense, be rude and willful, I tell you, your set will not work here in me, I can canonize you as a princess, and I can also punish you for your sins, make you a sinner, I have advised you that it is better not to challenge the bottom line in my heart, but what are you doing now, do you really think that I dare not punish your crimes, do you? ”
When Qin Meiniang heard the emperor's words, she couldn't help but tremble and said:
"Your Majesty, since I dare to disguise myself like this and want to escape from the palace at night, then I am ready to be caught, since I am now in your hands, I want to kill or scrape, Mei Niang listens to the emperor, I will never blame the emperor for punishing Mei Niang, I just hope that the emperor will not implicate my family and Liu Feng's family because of me, they are innocent."
The emperor was full of depression and entanglement:
"How unreasonable! I don't give you some color to see, you really don't know how good I am! What happened tonight, do you know what to do with you according to the laws of our Golden Phoenix Kingdom? You dare to escape from the palace without permission, you are a capital crime! ”
Qin Meiniang let out a sigh of relief, as if relieved, and said:
"The emperor can cure Mei Niang of the death penalty, but Mei Niang has something to ask for, and I hope the emperor can promise me, I beg you."
After speaking, Qin Meiniang supported the chair with both hands, knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor:
"After I die, please don't embarrass my family and Liu Feng's family, please send someone to take care of them, so that I will be dead and blind."
The emperor stood up and said angrily:
"Okay, since you insist on begging for death, then don't blame me for being unkind to you."
Qin Meiniang knew in her heart that this time, it was estimated that no one could protect herself, she had offended the emperor, and if she did not obey the emperor's orders, she would only have a dead end, and she instantly felt like she was at home.
couldn't help but think of the picture she had been with Liu Feng again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Liu Feng, I'm about to come to accompany you, you wait for me!
Qin Meiniang sat on the ground and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Mei Niang can't repay your royal family's kindness, please allow me to kowtow to you three times."
After finishing speaking, Qin Meiniang endured the severe pain under her feet and kowtowed the emperor three times.
Seeing this, the emperor immediately said:
"Okay, I don't need you to repay the favor, since you don't obey my words and orders, and you have to work against me, then I can only not keep you, please don't blame me for being cruel to you, it's all your own doing."
Qin Meiniang was full of entanglement and said:
"How dare Mei Niang blame the emperor, the reason why Mei Niang fell into such a field today is all caused by me, and it has nothing to do with the emperor."
The emperor immediately shouted outside the door of the palace:
"Someone."
The guards standing outside the emperor's bedroom immediately pushed open the door of the emperor's bedroom and walked in quickly.
The two guards hugged their fists at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty."
The emperor immediately pointed to Qin Meiniang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a lot of confusion:
"You hurry up and put Qin Meiniang in prison and wait for my treatment of her."
The two guards then clasped their fists and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two guards immediately walked in front of Qin Meiniang, squatted down and helped Qin Meiniang up from the ground and escorted her.
The emperor looked at Qin Meiniang, who was being held, and said:
"You brought this on yourself, but don't blame me for doing this to you!"
Qin Meiniang couldn't help but smile bitterly twice and said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I don't blame you. ”
The emperor immediately said to the two guards who were escorting Qin Meiniang:
"You hurry up and escort Qin Meiniang down."
The two guards escorting Qin Meiniang also said in unison:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, the two guards who escorted Qin Meiniang immediately escorted Qin Meiniang to the outside of the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor looked at Qin Meiniang being escorted out by the guards, and he was also full of unhappiness and said:
"I'm really angry, it's really mud that can't support the wall, I gave you such good conditions and life, but you don't want it, and you still want to escape, it's really hopeless."
After this toss, the emperor had long lost his sleepiness, he put on his dragon robe, sat on the side, and sat until dawn.
The night faded and dawn arrived.
Early the next morning, when a maidservant told the queen that she had the news that Qin Meiniang wanted to escape from the palace in disguise last night, she was also surprised and depressed.
Queen Mother says:
"Ahh How could Mei Niang be like this, she lived well in this palace, why did she suddenly want to escape from the palace last night? What the hell is going on. ”
The queen then asked the maidservant:
"So where is Mei Niang now? Did you go back to your room? ”
The maidservant said to the queen:
"Back to the queen's words, Qin Meiniang was imprisoned by the emperor, and I heard the guards say that Qin Meiniang is estimated to have completely angered the emperor this time, and the emperor said that Qin Meiniang will be punished heavily."
As soon as the queen mother heard that Qin Meiniang was imprisoned by the emperor, she suddenly said with a tangled face:
"What! Mei Niang was put in prison, this is unacceptable! I have to go to the emperor to make it clear, I can't let Mei Niang eat verbally. ”
The queen mother immediately walked out of the door of the palace with a nervous expression and went to find the emperor.
The queen mother found the emperor and said with a lot of confusion:
"Your Majesty, I heard that Mei Niang disguised herself as a man in black and wanted to escape from the palace last night, and you put her in prison and punish her heavily?"
The emperor was very excited to see that the queen mother was very concerned about Qin Meiniang's affairs, he immediately stood up and said:
"O Queen! Don't be excited, I know that you love and take care of Qin Meiniang very much on weekdays, but look at it, what kind of spoiled her now! Since she disguised herself as a man in black and wanted to escape from the palace at night, I told her bitterly before that I would take the opportunity to canonize her as a princess, and I would arrange her family and Liu Feng's family, but she didn't listen to my orders, she had to go her own way, and wanted to escape from the palace last night, but she was caught by the guards patrolling the palace. ”
The queen then said:
"Your Majesty, even if this Mei Niang is wrong in a thousand ways, you can't put her in prison! She's just a weak woman, if you spread it to her like this, it won't be good, persuade the emperor to release Mei Niang out of prison as soon as possible! I've always treated her as her own daughter, Your Majesty, now you say that if you put her in prison, you will be in prison, you can consider the feelings of the concubine! ”
When the emperor heard the queen's words, he immediately said angrily:
"Look at you, you are doing everything to that Qin Mei Niang, I know that you love her, but look at what she has done! If you don't teach her a good lesson, she will definitely cause trouble in the future, so don't persuade me, I have my own decisions and proportions in my heart. ”
The queen mother was so anxious that she gasped and asked:
"Then dare to ask the emperor, how do you want to punish Mei Niang?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment and said:
"Qin Meiniang is bold, and her impact on the reputation of the royal family is extremely bad, and she should be executed, but she is just a woman, and she has not caused other harm, and the capital crime can be avoided, but if the living crime cannot be escaped, I am ready to punish her with a hundred boards, and then expel her from the palace."
When the queen mother heard the emperor's words, her heart trembled suddenly, and she said with a lot of confusion:
"Ahh The emperor wants to scold Mei Niang with a hundred big boards, how can this work! I'm afraid that with her thin body, this hundred boards have not been finished, and she will be about to die, the concubine begs the emperor to be gracious, and now you have imprisoned her in prison, which can be regarded as a lesson for her, it is estimated that she will never dare to come nonsense in the future, and please ask the emperor to exempt Mei Niang from the cane, let her out quickly! If she insists on going to live in Lin'an County, the emperor will let her go back! Don't embarrass her. ”
The emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times and said:
"Queen, this Qin Meiniang is not related to us, is it possible that you really regard her as your daughter now? You're bargaining with me for her, why are you doing this? I really can't figure it out right now. ”
The emperor's words were also asked, and the queen's heart "chuckled", she was stunned and choked.
Your Majesty! Mei Niang is my own flesh and blood with you! She's a real princess! But you did this to her, no, I can't let you punish her no matter what!
Queen Mother says:
"Your Majesty! Mei Niang has suffered a lot since she was a child, and later was tortured by the father and son of the Wan family, and finally with our royal family, seeing that the Wan family was defeated and lived a good life, I also regard her as a daughter, we are people with feelings, so, I don't accept the emperor's punishment of wanting to punish Mei Niang, if the emperor insists on punishing Mei Niang, then you let the concubine accept the hundred rods on behalf of Mei Niang! ”
After speaking, the queen knelt on the ground and begged the emperor for mercy.
When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a depressed face:
"O Queen! What are you doing? You are still begging for me for an outsider, you really surprised me, and I don't know what kind of spell this Qin Meiniang used for you, so that you could plead with me for her and beg her to be released. ”
The queen mother was full of entanglements and said:
"Your Majesty, you can agree to the concubine's plea! I've never begged you for anything on weekdays, is it true that you are so ruthless for the sake of our husband and wife for so many years? ”
