My Lady is well
Chapter 28 Punishment
Shen Yueyao's heart sank, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She tilted her head slightly towards Jin'er, and when she saw Jin'er's face as pale as paper, she felt even more uneasy.
Li Ning looked at Shen Yueyao with an air of enjoying the fun and whispered.
"Looks like you're in trouble."
Shen Yueyao glanced at her lightly and thought, why doesn't this tea choke her to death?
Curse inwardly, those who gloat over other people's misfortunes, bad luck will sooner or later fall on you.
Jing Ruzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, emitting two cold rays of light, and his voice was low and cold.
"Concubine Shen, what is this?"
Shen Yueyao stood up and knelt in front of Jing Ruzhang.
She lowered her head, her lips tightly closed, and remained silent.
It’s not that she didn’t want to say it, she really couldn’t find a good excuse to explain the situation.
Jing Ruzhang looked at her, anger flashing in his eyes, his gaze was cold and sharp, as if he wanted to see through her.
There was a barely perceptible hint of anger in his cold tone.
"Concubine Shen, you were so eloquent just now, why are you so silent now?"
Shen Yueyao clenched her fists, her fingers turning blue and white, her heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
However, under Jing Ruzhang's gaze, she finally slowly loosened her fist, raised her head, her eyes flickering, not daring to look him in the eye.
Her voice was too low, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of her throat.
"Contraceptive pills."
After saying this, he lowered his head, and his mind suddenly recalled what he said during the day: "I'll kill her alone."
She felt that Jing Ruzhang's expression now was probably the same as when he was scratching her.
Jing Ruzhang couldn't believe his ears.
The woman in front of him used every means to have sex with him.
Now she says she doesn't want to have his child!
Which woman in the palace doesn’t want to become famous by virtue of her son?
If she didn't want to, then who did she think he was when she used all those methods on him before?
Tools?
How can he allow her to trample on his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty at will?
Jing Ruzhang pursed his lips tightly, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, his cold eyes were fierce and frightening, and his originally cold temperament became sharp and majestic.
He stood up, took two steps forward, stretched out his bony hand, and pinched her jaw with his palm.
With a strong lift, Shen Yueyao was forced to look up and look at him.
Her eyes were slightly red and tears gathered in the corners of her eyes. She was probably scared by him.
As soon as I raised my head, tears began to fall from the corners of my eyes.
He spoke word by word: "Say it again."
Shen Yueyao was so scared that her voice trembled: "...contraceptive...contraceptive pills."
Perhaps her tears slid into her fingers and were too burning, so he angrily pulled his hand back and turned away.
Even though he said it himself that it was a contraceptive drug, he still didn't dare to believe it easily.
He ordered angrily in a cold voice: "Call the imperial physician."
The imperial physician opened the medicine package and examined it carefully, then bowed and said.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, this medicine is a mild contraceptive."
Jing Ruzhang's eyes were filled with anger and he threw the medicine in her face.
Shen Yueyao closed her eyes and shrank her head, but still felt a slight pain on her face.
Thinking of her plan for him that day, he originally thought that she just wanted to enter the palace, and then she took the initiative to please him. He actually thought that she might really like him a little.
I didn't expect that I would be played around by her, and even my tone was tinged with anger.
"Okay! Shen Yueyao, you are so bold. You dared to drink the contraceptive medicine secretly. Since you are seeking death, I will fulfill your wish."
Shen Yueyao's eyes trembled slightly and she was very scared.
She hadn't drunk this thing for ten days or half a month, and recently hadn't touched it for a month. She had even forgotten that Liu Fengxuan had this thing.
Now that she had been found out, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
The imperial doctors in the palace are no pushovers. They can tell what this thing is with just a simple check.
Before she could even open her mouth, Jin'er, who was kneeling behind her, was about to take the blame for her.
Jin'er kowtowed heavily and said hurriedly.
"Your Highness, this is none of the master's business. It is this servant who is responsible. The medicine belongs to this servant. Please have mercy on me, Your Highness, and spare my master. Please spare my master."
After saying that, she kowtowed several times.
Shen Yueyao quickly turned away, shook her head at her, and signaled her to shut up.
Jing Ruzhang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his aura was gloomy and terrifying.
"You daring servant! You have no right to interrupt your master when he is speaking. Drag him away and beat him to death!"
Shen Yueyao was startled and hurriedly knelt down to pull his sleeve.
"It's my fault. It has nothing to do with Jin'er. I was confused for a moment. I hope Your Highness will forgive Jin'er."
Jing Ruzhang remained unmoved and watched the two guards about to drag Jin'er away.
Shen Yueyao's heart kept sinking. She lowered her head, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Wait a minute!"
Jing Ruzhang looked at her coldly.
"Why? You want to accompany her?"
"No! I just want to live, and I just want to live well with Jin'er. For this, the Shen family is willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to the court."
Everyone present was shocked. One hundred thousand taels of silver.
This is a huge sum of money!
Shen Yueyao thought about how Jing Ruzhang went to Jiangzhou to provide disaster relief, and the court only allocated 200,000 taels of silver. She inferred that the national treasury must be empty.
If she had offered this temptation at this time, she might have saved Jin'er's life.
Jing Ruzhang couldn't believe that she dared to negotiate with him. He looked at her face carefully with cold eyes and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly he felt that this woman was more interesting than he had imagined.
"Are you negotiating with me? Why do you think I will agree to your terms? If everyone is like you, wanting to use money to settle the matter when they make a mistake, then what is the point of laws and criminal laws?"
Shen Yueyao frowned slightly. She couldn't bear to watch someone who was willing to risk his life for her die in front of her.
She knew that if she tried to save Jin'er, she would inevitably offend him.
But now that things have come to this, she has no way out and can only face the challenge head-on.
She met his gaze firmly and spoke clearly.
"May I ask, Your Highness, when you punished Jin'er today, did you have no selfish motives? Jin'er just interrupted, and according to palace rules, you should just slap her in the face, but you want to kill her. I wonder which palace rules Your Highness is following?"
Everyone in the room was shocked. They didn't expect that the usually timid little white rabbit would dare to question the Crown Prince to his face.
She must be crazy.
The Crown Princess thought that Shen Yueyao was so easy to take, she actually took contraceptive pills on her own, and was rarely obedient.
I originally wanted to speak up for her in front of the prince, but now that she was seeking her own death, I gave up the idea.
Even Jing Ruzhang himself did not expect that this woman would be so bold.
For a little palace maid, he offered 100,000 taels of silver and even dared to question him face to face.
He looked at her with interest and had no intention of discussing palace rules with her.
"You want to save her, I'll give you this chance."
He glanced at the herbs scattered on the ground and spoke in a solemn voice.
“Why take birth control pills?”
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to ask this.
Wen Xueshu is pregnant, but what will happen? !
Of course she couldn't tell the truth.
Shen Yueyao buried her head, holding back just the right amount of tears, her voice tinged with sadness.
"I have many concubines in my family. The seventh and ninth concubines both died of dystocia. I am only sixteen this year and I don't want to die yet..."
She spoke timidly, her long eyelashes covered with crystal tears, which fell like pearls with just a slight blink.
Even women felt a bit of pity when they saw it.
But he just didn't believe it and didn't look at her tearful face. Even though he knew her words were not credible, the anger in his eyes had faded a lot.
Yang Li watched this wonderful drama from the sidelines and saw that the Crown Prince was about to soften his heart.
She smiled softly and said in a delicate voice: "When the Crown Princess gave birth to Cheng'an, she was only sixteen years old, but Sister Shen is delicate."
Yes, Song Yuanyi gave birth to Cheng'an, but her body is in such a bad shape now.
Jing Ruzhang ignored Yang Li's words, lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yueyao, his eyes involuntarily dimmed a little.
After a brief silence, the topic was ended.
"Concubine Shen secretly took contraceptive medicine. She is confined to Liufengxuan for the time being. We will make further arrangements after the matter of Concubine Wen being poisoned is fully investigated."
Shen Yueyao raised her tearful eyes and asked him: "What about Jin'er..."
"Didn't you say it already? According to palace rules, I should slap you in the face twenty times as a punishment."
At least she was able to save her life, so Shen Yueyao decided to quit while she was ahead.
He punished Jin'er, implying that he didn't want the money anymore.
This surprised Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao kowtowed to him to thank him. Jing Ruzhang sent her away and she had nothing to do here anymore.
She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears and bowed.
"I'll take my leave."
She turned around and saw Li Ning with his eyelashes drooping, as if in deep thought.
Shen Yueyao walked out of Chaolu Pavilion and found that the heavy rain had stopped.
She murmured softly, the thunderstorm was finally over.
