Chapter 411: Pressing on and turning defeat into victory
[Don’t push my mother, don’t push her… Father, uncle, don’t push my mother… Chaohua doesn’t feel any pain, Chaohua doesn’t feel any pain…]
Shen Zhao had been paying attention to the Sixth Princess's thoughts ever since she entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, but no matter how hard she concentrated, she couldn't hear a single word.
Now that the Sixth Princess's voice suddenly appeared, did it mean that Chaohua was about to wake up?
This poor child doesn't know her true identity.
He always treated the vicious woman as his own biological mother. Even though he suffered so much torture, he still had a heart of admiration for her.
At this time, the old emperor also spoke.
"Lord Pang is right. As long as the Queen orders the execution of this treacherous slave and her clansmen, I will believe that you are innocent."
The Queen clenched her hands into fists.
There was a glint in his eyes.
The fat nanny had tears in her eyes and shook her head desperately at the queen.
Everyone has her weaknesses. Fat Nanny’s weaknesses are not only the Queen, but also her mother and elder sister.
She had been frail and sickly since childhood, and it was her elder sister who was supposed to be assigned to serve the young lady.
Her mother felt sorry for her because she had to do heavy work, and her elder sister felt sorry for her thin and frail body, so they gave the opportunity to her.
Because she was young and weak, she was almost transferred away from the young lady several times.
It was her mother and elder sister who finished their own work and took care of her like a young lady.
Almost all of their monthly allowance was used to maintain her health.
Later, when my brother was getting married and the family couldn't afford the money, my father and brother found out and gave her the monthly allowance from my mother and eldest sister.
In a rage, he married his eldest sister to an elderly manager of the Pang Mansion in exchange for silver.
At that time, the eldest sister already had a lover, who was a groom in the mansion. They were in love with each other and were just waiting to save enough money to propose to the eldest sister.
She was only twelve at the time, and every time she met her elder sister at home, she would find an excuse to leave quickly.
He was afraid that she would see the bruises all over her body caused by the old villain's abuse.
The eldest sister no longer smiled, and the groom, who loved her, took the money he had saved to redeem her and returned to his hometown.
Ever since the groom left, the eldest sister has been living like a walking corpse.
When she grew up and her young lady gained power, the first thing she did was to ask her young lady to make her elder sister divorce the steward whose half body was buried in the coffin.
She once asked someone to look for the groom, but she learned that he got married the following year after returning to his hometown.
She has always felt guilty towards her elder sister, if her elder sister had not given her the opportunity to serve the young lady.
If the eldest sister had not used her monthly allowance to support her health, she would never have fallen into such a miserable state.
When the young lady becomes the queen, she will promise in front of the young lady that she will never marry or leave the palace in her life and will serve the young lady all her life.
The young lady was grateful for her loyalty and specially asked the tutor to send all her close relatives to the manor to serve as managers.
She was grateful to the young lady, but she felt even more sorry for her mother who had toiled for her all her life and her elder sister who had ruined her life.
She can die, her father and brother can die, but her elder sister and mother cannot die because of her fault!
As long as the Queen can save her mother and elder sister, she will take on any crime.
The old emperor urged again:
"Is the Queen still stubbornly trying to save this wicked slave? Why don't you issue an order immediately?"
"Or was it you, Queen, who ordered this wicked slave to abuse Chaohua?"
The hatred in the queen's eyes intensified.
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the door.
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty, His Majesty, and Prince Zhong."
Eunuch Su hurried over and walked to the Queen, and said earnestly:
"Your Majesty, we servants all know that you are kind-hearted and treat us very well. Now it is indeed Aunt Pang who has made a mistake. Your Majesty, you really shouldn't protect her and plead for her because of the past favor between master and servant."
"You have not only hurt the Sixth Princess and His Majesty's feelings, but also hurt the hearts of the servants and others."
"Your Majesty, this cunning slave cannot be kept. No matter for whom, this cunning slave cannot be kept."
The queen looked at Eunuch Su in disbelief.
He should know what Aunt Pang meant to her.
This is the person who has been with her since she was a child.
Eunuch Su sighed and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to make the Sixth Princess hate you and put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in trouble just because of this one wicked servant?"
"Your Majesty, this is what she deserves. Don't forget that she is just a slave. Everything she has is given by you, Your Majesty, including her life!"
"Madame Pang knows she is guilty and will definitely not blame you, Madam."
A warning flashed in Eunuch Su's eyes.
This impulsive fool, fortunately he arrived in time.
Otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
The queen opened her mouth, but could not bring herself to execute Nanny Pang.
Eunuch Su said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, do you really want His Majesty, the Sixth Princess, and the Crown Prince to misunderstand you? Do you really want to be deserted by everyone and left without help?"
The queen suddenly woke up.
If she were punished by the emperor today because of Madam Pang, then the forces supporting her behind the scenes would definitely abandon her because of her indecision.
The Queen looked at Aunt Pang with reluctance and said with difficulty:
"Drag down all the servants who have offended the Sixth Princess and have them beaten to death immediately."
The queen looked at the maid who had first accused her, "Including her and her people!"
Guards immediately took orders.
Pang Qingyun said:
“Wait!”
The queen looked at Pang Qingyun in confusion. She had already issued an order to abandon Madam Pang, so what else did he want to do!
Pang Qingyun looked at the queen and said bluntly:
"The Queen hasn't mentioned the clansmen of these cunning slaves yet!"
The Queen gnashed her teeth and said, "And all the relatives of the villains who bullied the Sixth Princess. Now Master Pang must be satisfied!"
The queen felt extremely aggrieved. This was the first time in her life that she had been forced by Pang Qingyun.
"Your Majesty, you are truly joking. This old minister is doing this for the reputation of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can you ask whether this old minister is satisfied or not? This old minister does not deserve the blame!"
The queen was furious and looked at Pang Qingyun with bloodshot eyes.
"If my parents knew how my brother treated me, I wouldn't know how sad they would be."
Pang Qingyun thought to himself that his parents would only applaud and cheer, and would never be sad.
"And your Majesty forgot one thing. His Majesty just told this palace maid that if she confessed the truth, he would spare her life and let her family go."
"Now that she has confessed the truth, Your Majesty can no longer take her life or the lives of her people!"
The palace maid looked at Master Pang with gratitude.
She didn't want to live, she would be content as long as her family was spared.
The queen's blood was boiling, and a mouthful of old blood was stuck in her throat, and a fishy and sweet smell filled her mouth.
She was so angry at Pang Qingyun that she vomited blood!
At this time, Shen Zhao also spoke at the right time:
"To demonstrate the Empress's love for the Sixth Princess and to serve as a warning to the palace servants, please order the execution of these cunning servants as a warning to future palace servants so that no one will make the same mistake again."
Xie Yuheng on the side said slowly:
"In order to serve as a warning to others, I believe that lingchi, chariot-splitting, and five-horse dismemberment are most appropriate. Using these tortures on his closest relatives will definitely have a deterrent effect and prevent future troubles!"
Everyone's hair stood on end when they heard this.
I have seen a living Bodhisattva, but I have never seen a living King of Hell.
This time I not only met two of them, but it’s also a good thing this way, as it can really prevent future troubles.
Aunt Pang was completely panicked. Her mother and elder sister had already suffered for half their lives because of her. She could not let them suffer the extreme torture again. She shouted regardless:
