The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 104 Beaten
When the chaos was at its most chaotic, the Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister of Rites, and a junior official had arrived at the palace gate to discuss the Empress Dowager's birthday. They were about to ask for an audience, then they heard hurried footsteps, and then they heard, "The Emperor has arrived."
The concubines knelt on the ground in a loud noise. They were about to leave, but they did not want to miss the opportunity to watch the show. After all, the palace was lonely. Now that they saw the emperor coming, they were even more reluctant to leave.
"What are you doing?" The emperor, with his authority without even getting angry, shouted to Eunuch Debao.
No one dared to say anything.
The emperor asked the official next to him: What's going on?
"I am here to discuss the Queen Mother's birthday with her. I have just arrived and do not know what it is about."
The emperor snorted coldly: "Old and cunning!"
The emperor pointed at a concubine and said: Tell me, what's going on?
This concubine, who had only met the emperor a few times and whose name the emperor probably didn't even know, was flattered and didn't know what to say. She was also afraid that if she didn't say anything someone else would steal the limelight, so she tried hard to calm her pounding heart and told the emperor everything about Liu Jingcheng's arrival, without missing a word.
"So that's what happened?" The three officials were relieved. "Prince Xuan is really filial."
Eunuch Debao went forward to help Liu Jingcheng, but he still couldn't do it.
"I beg my father, the Emperor, and my mother, to allow me to bring my mother to the palace to take care of her." Liu Jingcheng did not respond to any formalities and just made his own request. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the emperor in his heart, but others thought he was stupid and no one cared about him because he did not know the etiquette.
"Nonsense!" the emperor roared. As long as I am still alive, there is no way that concubines can live outside the palace.
"Please, father, fulfill your son's filial piety," Liu Jingcheng insisted. You can't protect your own woman, so why don't you let her son protect her?
"This is against etiquette," said Minister Gu of the Ministry of Rites.
The others dared not say a word.
"You can get up now. The Queen has already asked me for mercy. Today, in recognition of your filial piety, your biological mother, Mei Shumin, will be named Noble Lady Ya from now on and will live in Meixue Garden."
Meixueyuan was the palace where Concubine Mei lived before. It has been empty since she was punished. Now she is allowed to live there again, which shows the emperor's care for her.
"Your son wants to take mother back to the palace," Liu Jingcheng insisted. If he wanted to play dumb, he had to play dumb to the fullest.
"Stop making trouble. Someone, send Prince Hong back to the palace," the emperor roared again.
Jinwu Guard General Fu Tingyi was on duty today for his brother Fu Tingxuan. He waved to two guards to come and help Liu Jingcheng.
"Thank you, father. Thank you, mother." Liu Jingcheng was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up. "Then, as a noble lady, does my mother still have to do rough and heavy work?" Liu Jingcheng looked at his father and then at the queen.
Everyone held their foreheads in their hands, this prince was so stupid.
"Oh my Prince, who dares to ask you to do such heavy work!" Eunuch Debao went to help Liu Jingcheng again, but Liu Jingcheng gave him a silly smile.
"But Father, Mother, I am still worried that someone will harm my mother." He looked at the queen and then at the emperor.
"Then what do you want?" the queen blurted out, unable to bear it any longer.
"Your son still wants to take my mother back to the palace." Liu Jingcheng said proudly in his heart: Humph, I am a fool, who should I be afraid of?
"This silly son, why doesn't he know when to quit?" The emperor was worried.
"Your Majesty, I have been managing the harem for many years. What Prince Hong said is disrespectful to me. According to palace rules, he should be punished with eighty strokes of the cane." The queen was anxious.
"Alas..., although Prince Hong is old, he still has the mind of a child," the official from the Ministry of Rites sighed, trying to smooth things over, but did not dare to say anything else.
The queen got even angrier when she heard this. The emperor and the queen were both there, so how could a minister like him interrupt? "Child, he is a child, right? He is already the father of the child. Even the younger generation knows to abide by the palace rules. He is a prince, but he doesn't abide by the palace rules, doesn't obey his elders, and questions his stepmother. Why can't I punish him?"
"Mother, I have done something wrong. Please punish me. I just want to take good care of you. Please allow me to do so." Liu Jingcheng acted pitifully, but he was stubborn and wanted to irritate her.
Eunuch Debao: "..."
Three ministers: "..."
Concubines, "..."
Who dares to say anything? In the end, this is the emperor's family affair. The emperor has many wives, and half of his energy has to appease his wives. Men don't have enough energy and can't appease so many wives. Then the eldest wife will bully the younger wife, the smart ones will bully the stupid ones, the fierce ones will bully the weak ones, the big fish will eat the small fish, the small fish will eat the shrimps, it's just the law of survival.
In ancient times, which emperor's harem was ever peaceful? Three women are a drama, let alone a group of women who are rivals in love.
"That's it, Debao, go and announce the decree immediately." Once the emperor opened his mouth, the matter was settled.
"Prince Hong bumped into the Queen and shall be caned 50 times." The Emperor flicked his sleeves and left.
Liu Jingcheng happily gave the Queen a brilliant smile, "Mother, I will come later to receive my punishment." Then he said goodbye foolishly and went straight to the palace gate to pick up Lian Niang and Xuan Cao to see his mother. The Queen thought it was a provocation and wished she could kill him directly, but unfortunately she couldn't.
Lian Niang took Xuancao to Meixueyuan, and Xuancao stayed by Concubine Ya's side and took care of her from then on. Two days later, she arranged for A Shui to report to the guard camp. Ostensibly, she was responsible for Concubine Ya's safety, but in fact, she was monitoring her every move. Before the real Mei Shumin was found, she had to keep her alive and well and live an obedient life.
The queen was so angry that she vomited blood, but the emperor had made the decision in public and she could do nothing. If her brother were here, if he were in the court, he would never let them get what they wanted.
Let's forget about this matter for now. That bitch has been tortured to death. This fake one is her own person, and it is exactly what she wants to promote a noble person. But now that the bitch has become like that, the emperor is still thinking about her. She can't bear this.
But she was also afraid. What if the plan to find a replacement was exposed? What if the Mei family army came back and ruined everything? She would have to swallow her anger for the time being.
But this fool is so stupid. He dares to say anything. I don’t know whether he is pretending to be stupid or really stupid.
He ordered the torturer to beat him to death.
The emperor returned to the palace in great joy and immediately drafted an edict for Debao to announce it. If even one of the civil and military officials in the court had dared to plead for Concubine Ming, she would not have suffered for so many years. Today, his foolish son did something that he had always wanted to do but never had the chance to do.
Not only did he save his mother, he also openly let his people protect his mother. Who said he was stupid? He was the smart and wise one, okay?
Although this is fake, it would be great if the fake could become real. When it is really found, we can just replace it.
After Liu Jingcheng had settled his fake mother, he came to receive the caning himself. The torturers, following the Queen's orders, were very ruthless in each stroke, beating him to death. With each stroke, Liu Jingcheng cried out in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and he did not forget to shout loudly:
"Mother, please save me."
"Mother, they are going to beat me to death"
"Mother, it hurts so much"
"Ouch, it hurts, can you hit me a little more gently?"
… …
Listening to his pig-slaughtering screams, the queen was upset. When the screams gradually weakened, she was afraid that she would not be able to take the responsibility if she beat him to death. Killing a concubine was no big deal, but killing the emperor's son was a big event, and she did not dare to do so.
Today's incident might be a double act between this father and son, but now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done.
Liu Jingcheng returned to the palace with a buttock full of injuries. When Yiqi received him, he cried out of heartache. Gu Wuhuan heard that he was beaten in the palace, so he hurried back with his medicine box, cursing while applying medicine on Liu Jingcheng's buttocks.
Liu Jingcheng had a smile on his face. Fifty strokes of the cane were worth it for his mother's safety. He did not use much energy to resist. He just let them beat him until his skin was torn. He could withstand a little skin injury. Today was just a test, and he could send someone to the palace with a legitimate reason. He had already informed Fu Tingxuan about A Shui's matter.
When the two little ones heard that their daddy was being beaten, they ran over quickly. Erbao gently touched their daddy's face and said, "Daddy, it won't hurt so much when I blow my heart."
"Daddy, when I grow up, I will avenge you." Dabao clenched his fists, wishing he could grow up tomorrow.
"Uncle, why don't we go out of the city and let Lin Da treat your injuries. Her medicine is very magical. You don't know that Jie'an and Youbai can already get out of bed."
Of course Ji'an and Youbai had to get out of bed. They had eaten so much, and if they went in they had to go out. How could they solve the problem of going to the toilet? Hua Xiyu was determined not to let them use the bathroom in the car, so he would never let them know that they could do it in the car.
Atu and A Shui each supported one another and went into the woods. Hua Xiyu could only provide some tissues, nothing else.
Liu Jingcheng thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. He decided to take the two little ones with him this time. His injuries looked scary, but they were actually just flesh wounds. They would heal in two days. However, he would have to sleep on his stomach for the next two days.
