Wanwan said, “Alright, since His Majesty has entrusted these matters to me, and Consort Yi has no objection to my suggestion, then I will make the decision. The Ninth Prince’s mistake was less serious than the Fourth Prince’s, so he should also be punished by having his hands slapped, since he was the one who cut the hair.”
At this point, Wanwan added, "I will punish you personally."
Consort Yi was startled by Wanwan's words, after all, she had clearly seen how Wanwan had hit the Fourth Prince.
That was a really heavy blow; it didn't feel like she was punishing her own son at all. But if she were to punish her son like that, she definitely wouldn't be happy.
But now the Emperor is silent, and she has no power to resist the Imperial Noble Consort. Besides, it was indeed Yinzhen who started the trouble first.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have added fuel to the fire; now her son has been punished like this.
But there's no going back in this world. As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Since you've done it, don't regret it.
Wanwan: "Changping, Tingyu, bring the Ninth Prince to me."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and he kept shaking his head.
Yin Tang said, "Imperial Mother, I was wrong. I was wrong. Shouldn't I have picked up Fourth Brother's dog hair?"
Yinzhen was truly terrified at this moment. "Your son was really wrong, Empress Dowager, please forgive your son. Your son apologizes to Fourth Brother."
Wanwan said to Yinzhen with a gentle expression, "You were indeed wrong, but your fourth brother was also wrong. Your fourth brother was severely punished, and as your imperial mother, I also have to punish you. We can't punish only one person for the mistakes of two people."
She gave Changping and Tingyu a look, and the two of them immediately brought the Ninth Prince to her. Wanwan then picked up the blood-stained ruler again.
Yinzhen resisted even more fiercely, but no matter how fiercely he resisted, he was still just a child and not yet able to resist the strength of two adults. So he was held tightly by Changping and Tingyu.
Wanwan walked up to him and struck him with the ruler, with the same force as when she struck Yinzhen.
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
…………………
Seeing this scene, Consort Yi was filled with regret; she was filled with remorse.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he should have stopped while he was ahead. It turned out that his hands were already red and swollen from being beaten, and he had already been severely punished.
But she was still angry, and perhaps out of jealousy towards the Imperial Noble Consort, she wouldn't let it go. Now, her own son has been punished so severely.
Yinzhen was like someone whose mother had died; he resisted with all his might, but he was still held tightly by the two men.
Wanwan was quite forceful, and one of her hands quickly swelled up. Wanwan calmly suggested switching to the other hand.
After releasing his right hand, Yinreng, like Yinzhen, pressed his hand tightly against his side, as if this would alleviate the pain.
Yinzhen continued to beg for mercy. "Mother, I was wrong, Empress Mother, please let me go. I know I was wrong. I will go and apologize to Fourth Brother. Please forgive me. I will never do it again, I really won't."
Yinzhen's words were somewhat incoherent. Right now, all he could think about was begging for mercy. It was just too painful. Seeing that it was no use to the Imperial Noble Consort, he began to beg for mercy from his father and Consort Yi.
Yin Tang pleaded, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me! Mother, please save my son! Didn't you send me here to seek justice?"
