The book begins with the waste of all the members

The emperor had arrived for a long time, but there was no sign of him. Wei Yu and the others looked at each other, wondering if it was a false rumor, but the voice was indeed Lin Su's.

Si Muzhen looked at the patched-up gate of Chengming Palace, feeling gloomy. He couldn't even go in to question the culprits. He only kept Lin Su, dismissed all the accompanying guards and eunuchs, and said to Lin Su, "Stand firm in your horse stance."

Then with a "whoosh", a slightly plump figure turned into a parabola and was thrown into Chengming Palace.

Lin Su was so frightened that he lost his voice and his heart was in his throat. Doesn't anyone care about his life or death?

There was a loud noise in the front yard. When Wei Yu and the others arrived at the front yard, they saw Si Mu standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out. There was a pit next to him. Lin Su had half of his body exposed and was wiping his sweat pitifully.

"Don't you all know how to greet me when you see me?" Si Muzhen was speechless. They were all troublemakers.

Everyone: "Greetings to the Emperor~~"

Si Muchu walked over and helped Concubine Hui up. "Why are you still fooling around with Shu Yang so late at night?"

"Just came over to check it out."

Let's see what fun there is. Ever since Wei Yu was deposed and Concubine Jia was removed from her position of assisting the six palaces, Concubine Chen has become the only one in power. The harem has become much more peaceful and life has become too dull. Concubine Hui still misses the chaotic harem of the past.

Si Muchu squeezed Concubine Hui's hand ambiguously, walked in front of Wei Yu and Bai Shuyang, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Yu.

"I heard that you were arrested as an assassin. What happened?"

"It's all a misunderstanding..."

"You must know that it's against palace rules for a guard to stay in the palace without any business while off duty. And you were even fishing in the lotus pond in my imperial garden. Do you think this was all a misunderstanding?"

Bai Shuyang lowered his head guiltily.

Si Muzhen just glanced at Bai Shuyang, then his eyes fell on Wei Yu, "But who tempted you to break this palace rule?"

"It's all my fault for not thinking things through. I'm willing to accept the punishment," said Bai Shuyang.

"Lin Su, tell me what the punishment will be for violating palace rules."

Lin Su, suddenly named, stepped forward and said, "Sir Xiaobai, if you say something like that, you will be dismissed from your post, beaten with a hundred sticks, and exiled to the outskirts of Beijing to repair the imperial mausoleum."

Si Muzhen said sternly, "Do you still want to protect her?"

Wei Yu's heart skipped a beat. Wei Yu finally understood that the emperor came here just to let her take the blame for Bai Shuyang.

This is blatant targeting.

Bai Shuyang continued to do what he wanted. "I really took the initiative to go fishing. No one ordered me to do that."

"You are so stubborn! What kind of magic potion did she feed you? You are like this, and Mu Zhou is also like this."

Very good, this person doesn’t even pretend anymore.

Bai Shuyang still firmly defended Wei Yu and cleared him of all charges.

In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Wei Yu, and Wei Yu didn't know that Bai Shuyang would go to the lotus pond to help her catch fish.

Wei Yu looked up, and the moment her eyes met Si Muzhen's, she felt for the first time someone's disgust towards her.

A feeling of grievance suddenly surged in my heart, and tears accidentally slipped from the corners of my eyes.

Wei Yu touched her cheek and found that she was crying. She wiped her face roughly and stubbornly held back the tears.

When Si Muzhen saw Wei Yu's appearance, a strange feeling flashed through his mind, but he quickly ignored it.

At the critical moment, Concubine Hui stepped forward. She knelt upright beside Wei Yu and said to Si Muzhen, "Your Majesty, I can testify that Wei Yu was indeed unaware of Shu Yang's fishing trip. When I gave the fish to Wei Yu, the look of surprise on her face did not seem fake."

Si Muzhen looked at them in silence.

"This won't happen again. Bai Shuyang deserves punishment for his crime, but considering it's his first offense, I'll only give him twenty strokes of the cane as a minor punishment."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the emperor give in.

"Your Majesty," Wei Yu suddenly said, "I can..."

"Your humble servant accepts the punishment." Bai Shuyang interrupted Wei Yu and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Si Muzhen flicked his sleeves, looked back and forth at the two of them, snorted coldly, and left.

Wei Yu felt a little guilty, as if "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Bai Shuyang was able to detect Wei Yu's thoughts for the first time and consoled him, "It's only twenty strokes of the cane, take it easy."

"Just let him bear it. This is his fault in the first place. It would be better to teach him a lesson, otherwise he will think that this palace belongs to him." Concubine Hui said.

Bai Shuyang quickly covered Concubine Hui's mouth, "Sister, you can't say that. If the Emperor hears about it, it will be a serious crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your family."

Concubine Hui's tone couldn't help but become stern. "So you know. Look back. What you've done recently wasn't a heinous crime punishable by the death of your entire clan. If it weren't for the Emperor's magnanimity, do you think your head would still be able to stay on your neck?"

Bai Shuyang lowered his head and silently accepted the lecture from Concubine Hui. In fact, what Concubine Hui said was absolutely correct.

"I'll pay attention to it in the future."

"I hope you'll listen."

In the next few days, because Bai Shuyang was recuperating from his injury, Loulan was the only person on duty. All the information Wei Yu received about Bai Shuyang's injury came from Loulan.

"Is Bai Shuyang's injury better?" Wei Yu asked Lou Lan through the door.

"It's better, but he won't be able to come back for duty for some time."

"why?"

"After his injuries healed, General Bai executed his family rules and made him kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights. He then fell ill. When I visited him yesterday, he still had a high fever."

"How could this happen..." Wei Yu didn't expect that this matter would escalate to this point. This is the feudal monarchy system. Everyone has to act according to the emperor's mood.

"Don't blame yourself." Lou Lan stuffed a letter through the crack of the door and whispered, "This is something Bai Shuyang asked me to give you."

The letter began with words of forgiveness for Wei Yu, saying that he had acted on his own initiative in this matter, and the emperor punished him because he was afraid that he would not know the severity of the situation and make a bigger mistake.

His father punished him severely just to tell the emperor that their family absolutely supported the emperor's decision and to express their loyalty.

Bai Shuyang is really a warm man. He keeps comforting her even when he is in this situation.

In fact, Wei Yu had figured it out in the past few days. The reason why Si Muzhen was so afraid of her was because of the incident in which Queen Wei caused Concubine Chen to give birth prematurely.

She heard from Si Muchu that the child born to Concubine Chen was weak and sickly because of premature birth, and had been sick intermittently during the confinement period.

The instigator not only did not receive any actual punishment, but his life became better and better. It was normal for him, as a father, to feel uncomfortable with this.

Wei Yu accepted it. Since she had taken over Queen Wei's body, she could only keep a low profile from now on.
