Chapter 399: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (12)
Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of the crushed flowers on the ground and pointed over: "What is that?"
When Concubine Ning stopped crying, she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yan glanced at the palace maids brought by Concubine Ning, and finally called Xue Chuyue's name: "You speak."
Xue Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, her eyelashes drooped, and she walked forward and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, those are... those flowers that Concubine Ning picked and threw on the ground."
Under Concubine Ning's resentful gaze, Xue Chuyue answered truthfully.
Xiao Yan glanced at Concubine Ning and said coldly, "Concubine Ning, do you admit your guilt?"
Concubine Ning couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty..."
What crime had she committed? She had only picked a flower. There were so many flowers in the imperial garden, so what was wrong with picking one?
Xiao Yan said coldly, "This peony was planted by the late emperor himself. You destroyed a sacred object, which is one crime. Our dynasty has always used the peony to represent the empress. You have no respect for the superior and the inferior, and you despise the venerable. This is a second crime. Both crimes will be punished together. Concubine Ning will be confined to her house for half a year and given twenty strokes of the cane."
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.
The flowers in the imperial garden have been replaced one after another. Who knows which one was planted by the previous emperor? As for despising the empress, it is even more far-fetched. How can you despise the empress when she hasn't even been established yet?
Concubine Ning collapsed to the ground in disbelief: "Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yan didn't even look at her, but glanced at the little palace maid behind him who always caused trouble for him, and then said, "Palace maid Su Yu, you have committed the crime of insubordination and will be fined one year's salary."
Both sides were punished, and it sounded like each would be given fifty lashes, but Concubine Ning was not only confined to her room but also beaten with a stick, while Su Yu was only fined one year's salary. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who His Majesty was favoring.
Su Yu lowered her head and said nothing. After all, with a box of Dongzhu, a year's salary was nothing.
To the flower demon, Concubine Ning's behavior was indeed excessive.
But from a human perspective, she was the one who went too far, and it was not easy for Xiao Yan to protect her like this.
Xiao Yan frowned and scolded: "Why don't you go back and serve?"
In just two days, Concubine Zheng, Concubine Zhang, and even Concubine Ning were all put under house arrest because of Su Yu.
Su Yu's name spread throughout the harem, and everyone knew that the palace maid that His Majesty was currently favoring should not be offended, even if His Majesty had not given her a title.
There are rumors that His Majesty did not give Miss Su Yu a title because he wanted her to stay by his side. After all, they would not be able to meet each other all the time after she entered the harem.
The concubines who had only seen Xiao Yan once in all these days in the palace fell silent: "..."
That makes sense.
When the news reached Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother slammed the teacup on the table and said, "Ridiculous!"
It is ridiculous to punish a third-rank imperial concubine for a palace maid!
After the empress dowager sent someone over, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to exempt Concubine Ning from the caning, but she could not be exempted from house arrest. Xiao Yan did not want to see any of the concubines in the harem.
After sending the Queen Mother's men away, Xiao Yan walked towards the little palace maid kneeling beside him to reflect on herself, and looked down at her: "Su Yu, do you know your mistake?"
Su Yu hung her head in dejection: "I know I was wrong."
Xiao Yan's expression softened a little: "Since you know you are wrong, then get up."
Su Yu raised her head, her beautiful eyes slightly frowned, and her voice was gentle and coquettish: "Your Majesty, pick me up."
Xiao Yan's eyes swept across the thick cushion under her knees, and the corners of his lips straightened: "She is spoiled and arrogant."
Although he said that Su Yu was spoiled, his hands were honest. Xiao Yan warned her coldly: "Don't be so reckless in the future. Fortunately, I left in time today. If there is a next time, you will suffer the consequences and be punished."
Su Yu curled her lips where Xiao Yan couldn't see. Even if there was a next time, it would be others who would suffer. How could a monster be bullied by humans?
At the same time, Su Yu became more determined to escape from the palace as soon as possible.
In order to leave early, the necessary humiliation is worth it.
"Your Majesty is right."
Su Yu stretched out her hand and hooked Xiao Yan's neck: "I was frightened today, Your Majesty, can you stay with me for a while?"
Xiao Yan put her on the small couch and rejected her coldly: "Don't be arrogant because of your favor. I still have government affairs to deal with."
Xiao Yan was a diligent emperor, so Su Yu took a step back and said, "Then I will grind ink for your majesty."
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Su Yu breathed in the dragon energy which was better than nothing, thinking about how to get Xiao Yan to bed again tonight, her eyes blinking restlessly.
"His Majesty."
Su Yu quietly placed her hand on Xiao Yan's hand that was not holding the pen, pretending not to see his warning look, and took advantage of the situation to get into his palm, interlocking their fingers.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid of the dark. I will have nightmares if I sleep alone at night."
Xiao Yan looked straight ahead, and suddenly clenched his hands, grabbing the hand that was drawing circles randomly on his palm: "I will send a palace maid to keep watch for you."
"Even keeping vigil can't stop nightmares." Su Yu put down the ink stick and hugged his arm seductively, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, blessed by the dragon spirit. If I can sleep on your dragon bed, I will definitely not have nightmares anymore."
How greedy.
Xiao Yan twitched the corners of his lips and said sarcastically, "Su Yu, I have allowed you to sleep on the dragon bed once, which is a great gift from heaven. Don't push your luck. Greedy people often don't have a good ending."
Su Yu didn't listen and squeezed into Xiao Yan's arms: "Your Majesty, do you really not understand?"
Her red lips pouted slightly, and she leaned close to his ear: "Your Majesty, did you feel comfortable last night? Do you want to do it again?"
The wind blew into my ears and it felt a little itchy.
Xiao Yan tensed up and pretended to be calm, and sneered: "I am not like the late emperor who was addicted to women."
His red ears gave him away.
Su Yu spared no effort to seduce, like a vixen sucking people's essence: "But I want it."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on this servant of yours."
My ears felt even hotter.
Xiao Yan frowned, with a cold and handsome face: "You have no shame!"
The door of the imperial study slammed shut, and the wind blew up Su Yu's hair.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the fun said they were used to it.
Your Majesty does this every now and then. Just wait and see, Miss Su will be called back in a few hours.
Su Yu felt aggrieved after being kicked out. This guy is really hard to seduce.
It's time to think of other options.
The person who came up with a new idea faster than Su Yu was the one from the Empress Dowager's palace.
"The Queen Mother has ordered Su Yu to come to the throne."
The eunuch who announced the decree smiled and said, "Miss Su, please come with us."
The door of the imperial study was opened from the inside.
Xiao Yan walked out slowly, stared at the eunuch who was announcing the decree, and said, "People in my palace, when has the Queen Mother ever been able to make an order whenever she wants? Could it be that you, a dog slave, misinterpreted the Queen Mother's order and alienated the relationship between me and the Queen Mother?"
The eunuch who announced the decree knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."
Xiao Yan walked up to Su Yu and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother summon her?"
The eunuch who announced the decree had a bitter face: "This... The Empress Dowager said that since Miss Su has been favored, she should not continue to stay by His Majesty's side as a maid..."
Xiao Yan understood clearly that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with his punishment of Concubine Ning for Su Yu, and planned to execute her first and then report to her later, then give her a position and keep her under her nose for supervision.
Seal a position...
Xiao Yan just happened to have the same idea.
Some people cannot be indulged too much, allowing them to do whatever they want without any rules.
Xiao Yan expressionlessly pulled his sleeve away from the hand of the little palace maid who had come close to him at some point in time: "In that case, I'll go over and take a look as well."
