Chapter 124 How to Become a Great Person
“Pah.”
As the ruler came down, Asui's white and tender palm turned red instantly.
Asui took a breath of pain, then obediently opened his palms.
Yun Wan pursed her lips, and the hand holding the ruler did not drop again. She asked with a stern face: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Asui nodded.
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have hidden for no reason. I made my mother worry and everyone searched for me for a whole day." Asui lowered his head and said guiltily.
Yun Wan said seriously, "This is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that you shouldn't take your own safety lightly."
"You disappeared without a trace, and we adults and elders all thought you were kidnapped by criminals or killed in an accident."
After staying in the palace for more than half a year, Yun Wan heard a lot of such things. The palace is so big that it is not uncommon for a eunuch or palace maid to be missing.
During the reign of the previous emperor, he had many children, and many of them died before they grew up. Some died by drowning, fell from a rockery, fell into a dry well... It all happened in a moment.
Even though Yun Wan appeared calm and composed yesterday, she was actually extremely anxious inside, fearing that she would hear the news that a small body had been salvaged from a lake somewhere.
Yun Wan held Asui's shoulders and said sternly, "In my heart, nothing else matters except your life. I'm not afraid of a thousand things, but I'm afraid of the one that happens. What should I do if something happens to you?"
Yun Wan's eyes turned red when she thought of that result.
Seeing that he had made his mother sad, Asui burst into tears with guilt: "I'm sorry, mother. Please hit me again. I will never let you worry again..."
He stretched out his palms and held them in front of Yun Wan.
Yun Wan's nose felt sore. She dropped the ruler and blew on the hand that had just been hit. "No more beatings! It hurts your mother too. This is just to remind you not to do this again. Even if you want to go somewhere, you must tell someone or leave a note. That way everyone will know what's going on, right?"
Asui nodded.
"As for any secrets you have with your friends, I won't ask what you've discussed. As long as you stay positive and do good things, and don't do anything that harms others or yourself, that's all that's fine."
Yun Wan didn't want to be too strict and bury the child's nature, nor did she think of interfering with the child's friendships. She knew that if Asui didn't take the initiative voluntarily, he would not go even if someone used ten oxen to pull him there.
Ah Sui hugged her waist, feeling touched and blaming himself: "I'm sorry, Mom..."
"Don't cry anymore. If you cry anymore you will turn into a little kitten." Yun Wan wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
"Write a confession tomorrow and let this matter go, okay?"
"good."
..........
Outside the palace, Emperor Jingxuan, who had not yet left, saw this and said quietly, "Madam, you are still too soft-hearted."
I couldn't bear it anymore after just one spanking.
Jiang Fusheng was dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, after all, the young master is still young."
Emperor Jingxuan snorted coldly: "When I was his age, if he made a mistake, he would be beaten, forced to kneel and confined to his room. But this kid started crying after being hit by a ruler."
He also learned to retreat in order to advance and act coquettishly towards his wife.
Madam is really too doting on this kid. How can he become a great man in the future if this continues?
After all, it’s still because I haven’t done enough homework.
This person has a mother who loves him.
Besides, do you dare to say this in front of Concubine Yun?
Eunuch Jiang secretly complained.
Even so, Emperor Jingxuan still ordered: "Go get the medicine, and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some of Madam's favorite dishes."
"Since yesterday, my wife has been so worried that she hasn't eaten much and has lost weight."
Jiang Fusheng:......
After sending a messenger, Jiang Fusheng returned with the news: "Your Majesty, the news from Changchun Palace is that the Third Prince's wet nurse has died suddenly. The two palace maids have also been found and taken to the Ministry of Punishment."
It was said to be a sudden death, but in fact everyone knew that it was the doing of Concubine Shu.
Emperor Jingxuan hummed, his expression grim: "Deal with him as you see fit."
Jiang Fusheng: "Then what should we do with the people we captured yesterday?"
Yesterday, Commander Wei led his men to search the inner court, but they uncovered a lot of secrets. These people were caught off guard and confessed everything.
"Clear it according to the rules."
After he finished speaking, Emperor Jingxuan stepped back into the hall. His cold expression faded, replaced by tenderness.
"lady."
Glancing at Asui, who was lying quietly on Yunwan, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is he asleep?"
Yun Wan nodded, "I'm tired of crying."
Emperor Jingxuan pinched Asui's face, then picked him up and walked out. "This kid looks thin but he's very strong. Madam, you're tired of holding him. I'll have someone carry him to the side hall to sleep."
Yun Wan was terrified when she saw this.
Fortunately, the palace servant was very reliable. He took Asui with both hands and carried him out carefully.
After the incident was resolved, Yun Wan relaxed physically and mentally and asked him, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for the place where they hid yesterday?"
“Of course it’s closed.”
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Madam, do you have any other ideas?"
Nodding, Yun Wan said, "Why not keep it? Even though the children are young, they still have whispers and secrets with their friends. Just think of it as giving them some little space of their own."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and showed a hint of approval: "That's true."
Based on his understanding of Pei Qian, if he lost this place, he might find a new "secret base" in two days. Instead of letting them mess around, it would be better to keep this one they already knew about.
If anyone commits a crime again in the future, we will arrest them there.
"As for other places, I will choose a day to have people conduct a thorough search and seal off any dog holes or blind spots where people could hide."
.........
Yaohua Palace.
Concubine Li was incredulous: "Your Majesty is so careless?"
There was such a commotion yesterday that even her palace was searched, and this is the result?
The personal maid Caidie said, "Perhaps because they were young and hadn't caused any serious harm, they just gave them a verbal reprimand."
Concubine Li snorted, her face showing indignation. "The Crown Prince just dozed off in class, but His Majesty summoned him and gave him a lecture. If this gets out, what will the ministers of the previous dynasty think? Where will the Crown Prince's face be?"
"To satisfy His Majesty, the Crown Prince hasn't left his study for two days. How can he bear this?"
Caidie said, "Your Majesty, please be patient. Your Highness is the future crown prince and has great responsibilities. It is only natural that Your Majesty is a bit strict with him. As for the Third Prince, he may still have to rely on Your Highness's grace in the future."
"They are idle and unlearned, but doesn't this just highlight the diligence and hard work of our Highness? His Majesty will see your efforts."
"You're right." These words immediately dissipated the imperial concubine's anger. Her expression softened slightly, but she frowned again, puzzled, "But I still can't guess what Your Majesty is trying to do."
The Concubine Shu was demoted by His Majesty. Not only was her title of Concubine Shu taken away, she could only be called "Concubine Lu" and she also lost the power over the six palaces. It can be said that she lost her power overnight.
However, she is still a concubine, has the prince by her side, and the Lu family backing her up. She still lives better than most concubines, so those who don't get along with her can only mock her in private.
In comparison, they are more concerned about the palace affairs power that was taken away from Concubine Shu... Lu. To whom will Emperor Jingxuan hand it over next?
Will it be handed over to the imperial concubine again, or to someone else?
As a result, they waited and waited for several days but did not receive the order from Emperor Jingxuan.
