The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

"My Queen, the people who were hurt in today's incident are the General's Mansion, so I beg you to hand these people over to me to take back and deal with them."

Just because the Ministry of Punishment in the Imperial Palace couldn't figure it out didn't mean that the General's Office couldn't figure it out either. And it certainly didn't mean that she couldn't figure it out either.

''no!''

The Queen hadn't spoken yet, but the Queen Mother objected first.

"There is no precedent for this in the palace."

"Then make an exception!" Song Qingci didn't even look at the Queen Mother, and said directly to the Queen, "The Queen is the mother of the country, so of course you can make an exception. What's more, Shan Xi has suffered so much. If I don't personally deal with those who dared to hurt her and plot against her, I, as her sister-in-law, will feel guilty!"

"Empress, you are also a woman. You know how much harm today's incident has done to a woman. If she is not allowed to see the miserable end of those who hurt her, I am afraid she will never be able to get over this hurdle in her life."

Queen Zhou was in a difficult situation.

Mrs. Shan's words made sense, and she understood them. However, there was indeed no precedent in this palace where a palace maid who had made a mistake was taken out by an outsider and punished.

She turned her head and looked at Emperor Chengtian.

Emperor Chengtian agreed directly before the Empress Dowager spoke again.

"Mrs. Shan is right. Miss Shan has indeed suffered a great injustice and is still in a coma. Let Mrs. Shan take these people back and deal with them."

After Emperor Chengtian finished speaking, not only the Queen Mother was shocked, but even Eunuch Guo who had been following him was shocked.

Is this still the Emperor he knows? !

Why are you acting more and more as you please lately?

Mrs. Shan's request was totally unreasonable and even a little unreasonable.

His Majesty the Emperor actually agreed to this? !

Thinking about all that had happened before, a particularly dangerous idea suddenly came to Eunuch Guo's mind.

Could it be...

No, no! You can't think like that!

There must be some other reason!

No one noticed the confusion in Eunuch Guo's mind. Instead, Shan Li directly asked Feng Yi and Feng San to take the person away.

No matter how the empress dowager signaled to him, he pretended not to see anything.

"Mother, you are a kind person, but you still need to discipline these servants. The maids in the Cining Palace secretly accepted money to help an outsider do things. It is not good to say that. I will send a few servants who suit your taste to you. If such a thing happens again in the Cining Palace in the future, I will find them directly and let them pay with their lives."

"And Aunt Zhao, you should be severely punished for your reckless words. However, considering that Aunt Zhao is old and has worked hard even if she has no merit, I will not punish her. Aunt Zhao has worked hard all her life. I can't bear it either, so let the Queen make the decision today and let Aunt Zhao leave the palace."

Emperor Chengtian's few casual words shocked both Empress Dowager Shan and Madam Zhao.

The people in the Cining Palace were all carefully selected by her and were loyal to her. Suddenly letting the emperor's people in was like catching a mouse in a rice jar. What was the difference?

Furthermore, Zhao Ma is her closest person, and the two have supported each other for almost their entire lives. Now releasing Zhao Ma from the palace would be like cutting off one of her arms, wouldn't it? !

This wolf cub is so cruel.

His previous kindness was all fake. As long as he got a chance, he would never waste it!

"Emperor, Madam Zhao is an old lady in the palace. It is not appropriate to let her go just like that." Empress Dowager Shan knew that she could only refute one of the two points made by the emperor.

Compared to dealing with a few new arrivals, Empress Dowager Shan naturally would rather keep Madam Zhao.

"Mother, just because Zhao Mama is an old lady in the palace, her actions are even more unforgivable. Moreover, letting her out of the palace to live out her days is not a punishment but a gift." Emperor Chengtian knew that what he had in mind would not go smoothly, and he would have to argue with her several times.

He has a lot of patience.

"Your Majesty!" Madam Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Chengtian, "Your Majesty, I know my crime. Please punish me. I am willing to accept any punishment. But I beg Your Majesty not to let me leave the palace!"

"I have served in the palace for my whole life. If I leave the palace, I will have no friends or relatives. There is no way for me to survive. Moreover, I have served the Empress Dowager for my whole life. I can't bear to leave her! Please show mercy, Your Majesty! I am willing to be punished, as long as I can continue to serve the Empress Dowager."

After saying that, he started to kowtow, with tears and snot flowing together.

It was so miserable to watch.

Others saw it but pretended not to see it.

Emperor Chengtian saw that the people had almost finished their kowtows, and then he said slowly, "Since that's the case, I will fulfill your loyalty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nanny Zhao had kowtowed until she felt dizzy, but she finally heard what she wanted to hear.

"However, if you are not leaving the palace, you must go to the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, the rules of this palace will not stand." He looked at Queen Zhou beside him.

Nanny Zhao originally thought that she could stay in the palace and avoid punishment by crying and begging, but she didn't expect that she would still have to go to the Ministry of Punishment in the end.

His complexion suddenly turned pale.

She is already this old. How can she be fine after going to the Ministry of Punishment? !

"Emperor, Madam Zhao has already known her mistake. And at her age, it is not appropriate for her to go to the Ministry of Punishment." Empress Dowager Shan pleaded at the right time.

It's like I've completely lost my face.

However, Emperor Chengtian did not care about her face and said directly, "Mother, if I don't punish you for what happened today, I'm afraid it will be unacceptable."

After saying that, he looked at Shan Li and Song Qingci.

Queen Mother Shan also followed Emperor Chengtian's gaze and looked at the two of them. The words of plea were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

In the end, Madam Zhao was taken to the Ministry of Punishment. They didn't know what was waiting for her. The only thing they could be sure of was that half of Madam Zhao's life would definitely remain in the Ministry of Punishment.

Empress Dowager Shan returned to the Cining Palace alone.

It has been a long time since she felt so aggrieved.

Before leaving, she glanced at Song Qingci.

The look in his eyes was complicated.

But Song Qingci didn't care at all.

Just use whatever tricks you have, she will take them on.
