"!"
Zhu Lin had just finished speaking when her face twisted into a look of horror!
"No, that's not it. Chenqie did not mean that. Chenqie would not dare to insult the emperor and empress!”
She said anxiously,
"Empress, you must not believe his nonsense!”
Ma Xiuying's expression turned cold.
"If I don't believe my son, do you think I'll believe you?”
She stared at Eminent Orchid and said coolly,
"Tell me, did you call my son a little bastard?”
Eminent Orchid's expression tensed up, and he didn't dare to reply.
"Tell me."
Ma Xiuying casually pointed at a servant and asked condescendingly,
"Did Consort Ding scold him?"
"Replying to the Empress 'words, Consort Ding she…. indeed scolded His Highness the Prince of Wei.”How could this servant dare to hide it, so naturally, she had to tell the truth.
After all, there were so many people present, and even the Emperor heard it!
"Got it."
Ma Xiuying nodded and slowly walked to Da Lan.
" Empress, I…I…"
Before she could finish speaking, Ma Xiuying had already slapped her!
Pa!
It was incomparably crisp!
"Sister! " You…" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak, but Ma Xiuying shot him a look.
"Emperor, ChenQie is the Empress. She controls the harem and is in charge of internal affairs.”
Ma Xiuying said lightly,
"Don't interfere in the affairs of the harem.”
Zhu Yuanzhang grunted in agreement. Facing Eminent Orchid's pleading expression, he could only watch helplessly.
"Perhaps my temper is too good, so some people in the palace have started to look down on me.”
Ma Xiuying looked at Eminent Orchid and said slowly,
"Is that so, Consort Ding?"
Thud!
Da Lan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang ignored her pleas and immediately knelt in front of Ma Xiuying. She said in a trembling voice,
"ChenQie misspoke, ChenQie was wrong!”
The Empress was usually very easy-going, but if she were to fly into a rage, no one in the world could stop her!
Old Zhu had his natural enemies and would be restrained by his wife, but Ma Xiuying?
Sorry, I have no natural enemies!
"Your son wants to harm my son. You still want to call my son a little bastard.”
Ma Xiuying nodded and said softly,
"Good, very good, very good."
"In your eyes, the Emperor is someone you would never dare to offend. Then who is the old bastard? I'm afraid it's very simple and clear.”
"I am the old bastard that you can bully and humiliate, and my son is the idiot that your son can bully and humiliate, right?”
"!"
"I wouldn't dare! ChenQie wouldn't dare!"
Her heart trembled violently as she kowtowed to the ground crazily. She said in extreme fear,
"ChenQie misspoke, ChenQie misspoke! ChenQie deserves a beating…deserves a beating!"
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Eminent Orchid slapped his own face one palm after another. After four or five slaps in a row, his face was already red and swollen!
Ma Xiuying saw this, but she did not stop her. Instead, she hugged Zhu Lin tightly and sighed.
"Lin 'er, our mother and son are so pitiful…"
Zhu Lin hurriedly hugged his mother tightly and said,"
"Mother, we are not pitiful! Whoever bullies me, whoever insults me, I will take revenge!”
"We have the strength to take revenge! If you still don't vent your anger, this child will help you throw Consort Ding into the lake!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched.
Ma Xiuying smiled.
"Silly child, mother is not that vicious.”
she said.
"Your mother is used to being kind, so I can't do such a vicious thing…Sigh, what a strange mother, even that bastard Zhu Rong dares to bully you.”
"Do you blame Mother?"
Zhu Lin raised his head and looked at his mother.
"The world treats Mother with evil, but Mother responded to the world with kindness.”
He said with a look of admiration,
"This child doesn't blame mother, this child worships mother!”
"Mother is the truly virtuous Empress!”
This flattery made Zhu Yuanzhang's teeth ache.
"Hahaha…Good, good, good. Lin 'er said it very well!”
Ma Xiuying laughed loudly. She waved at Eminent Orchid and ordered,
"Get up, how can you serve the emperor after your face is beaten crooked?”
"Thank…Thank you, Empress." Hearing this, Eminent Orchid dared to stop his hand gestures and stood up shakily.
However, that person did not dare to raise her head and look directly at the Empress.
"Eminent Orchid, you didn't teach your son well, and you also didn't have any manners! I could have punished you and chased you out of the palace!”
Ma Xiuying said in a deep voice,
"However, considering that you have also given birth to a son for the royal family, Zhu Rong, that son of a b * tch, can be considered to have received the punishment he deserves.”
"I'll let you off this time.”
"You will be punished to copy the 'Female Rules' ten times and learn etiquette and words from the female officials in the palace.”
"Are you convinced?"
"ChenQie…is convinced." Da Lan was submissive, not daring to say a single word.
The Empress could really kick him out of the palace! If such a scandal were to happen and she couldn't even return to her family, her father would definitely beat her to death!
At this moment, a violent cough came.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough…"
Imperial Physician Wang heaved a sigh of relief and said,
"Fortunately, we didn't fail our mission and managed to save His Highness King Qi.”
At this moment, Zhu Xi was coughing violently, spitting out all kinds of things and lake water in his mouth, including what he had eaten yesterday!
An unpleasant smell filled the imperial garden.
"Emperor, His Highness King Qi has been rescued!”
Xiao Hu reported excitedly,
"He's still alive!"
When he had seen Zhu Xiong's lifeless appearance, he had been worried that King Qi wouldn't be able to hold on…
Fortunately, he was not dead.
If he didn't die, it wouldn't be considered a major accident!
Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief.
"Reward Wang Qi with 20 taels of silver."
He ordered,
"Take good care of King Qi. The lake is cold, so don't let him fall ill.”
"Yes." Wang Tai respectfully accepted the order.
Da Lan saw that his son had woken up, and his mind relaxed. He sat down on the grass.
"I have already settled the matters of the harem.”
Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and waved her hand.
"It's up to you how you punish these two unfilial children.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
"You're right. You make the decision!”
He said helplessly,
"I was afraid that you would blame me if I used too much strength!”
Old Zhu had learned to be smart now. Since he had to see his wife's expression anyway, he might as well let his wife make the decision.
"Alright, then I will punish you.”
Ma Xiuying took up the responsibility and said decisively,
"Zhu Xi pushed Zhu Lin into the lake, and this is considered harming his brother. The circumstances are serious, and he should have been demoted! However, since Zhu Lin had already taken his revenge, he was not punished.”
"As for Zhu Lin, although he attacked for a reason, he was too ruthless and did not know his limits. He should be punished.”
"Zhu Lin will be grounded for half a month to calm down and stay in the station!”
"What does the emperor think of this decision?”
