Chapter 601 Requesting Punishment

Empress Dowager Sheng looked deeply at the emperor in front of her.

What happened today, after all, is still a matter of the harem. For an emperor to be blamed for his own concubine, what kind of thing is this?

Don’t you want the emperor’s majesty anymore?

Empress Dowager Sheng somewhat disagreed in her heart, but she also knew the emperor's temper.

In the past, the emperor was cold-hearted and seemingly considerate, but he never cared about any woman. That was why when she saw that Concubine Lang could write in a handwriting similar to the emperor's in the Huguo Temple, she was quite lenient towards her.

The previous emperor was absurd, but this son is good.

She was naturally relieved that he had someone he loved.

That’s it.

After all, although Concubine Lang's behavior was inappropriate, it was after all justified.

The fierceness in the Queen Mother's eyes dimmed a little, and just as she was about to speak, she gently let it go.

But before she could even open her mouth, Si Linglong, who had just defended herself once and then remained silent, suddenly wiped her tears and kowtowed slightly to her.

"What happened today was done by me alone. The maids in Yuxiu Palace dared not disobey my orders. Please do not punish the maids, Your Majesty. I will ask for my own punishment. From today on, I will be confined to the palace to reflect on my mistakes."

Si Linglong suddenly took the initiative to apologize, and before anyone could speak, she continued,

"Without the Queen Mother's order, I will never step out of the palace again, let alone see the Emperor again."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall, including the Queen Mother, was stunned.

Helian Yue frowned even more fiercely.

He understood that she wanted to ask for a punishment of confinement and reflection. After all, today's incident had caused such a big commotion that the palace had to give an explanation. Confinement was not pleasant on the surface, but in reality it was the lightest of all punishments.

Helian Yue originally planned to let her stay at home for ten days as a token of his respect, but he didn't expect her to bring it up herself. He understood the idea of ​​confinement, but what about "not seeing him"?

Who said she couldn't see him?

Not only Helian Yue didn't understand, the Queen Mother didn't understand either.

She never said from the beginning to the end that she was not allowed to meet the emperor.

Even if she wanted to, the emperor might not listen.

Empress Dowager Sheng couldn't help but recall her previous scolding of her.

Could it be that my attitude just now was too cold and hard, causing her to misunderstand that I didn't like her for deceiving the emperor? ?

The Queen Mother wanted to say that it was not necessary, but since Concubine Lang pleaded guilty herself, she felt that it was not necessary to refute it, as it would seem that she was biased.

It's enough that there is already an emperor in this palace who is biased.

If I were like this, I would probably cause unrest in the harem.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother agreed to Si Linglong's request, "Okay, from now on, you will return to the palace and reflect on your past behind closed doors."

Helian Yue frowned and looked at Si Linglong.

However, she stopped looking at him just now, and muttered to herself in her heart that it was her own fault. Before Helian Yue could figure out her somewhat inexplicable plan, Si Linglong had already kowtowed to the Queen Mother and then staggered to her feet.

"I will go back and shut myself in to reflect on my mistakes."

Bai Qianqian looked at Si Linglong disdainfully as she asked for the punishment herself and then just left. Her face was purple and green and full of disbelief.

Si Linglong came to her Lianrui Palace and beat her up like this, but she was just let it go with just a word of confinement?

Bai Qianqian almost bit her teeth off in anger.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine Lang wantonly humiliated and beat me, are you just going to put me in prison and let it go?!"

The Emperor is confused, so is the Empress Dowager also confused?!

At this moment, Bai Qianqian also forgot her image as a weak and miserable little white flower, and the moment her words came out of her mouth, they became questions.

The Queen Mother originally believed what the Emperor said about Concubine Lian and Concubine Lang eating safflower and thus would never get pregnant again, and now she had lost her patience with Bai Qianqian.

However, before she could open her mouth, Concubine Tsuen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"Confinement is not enough, do you still want to fight back?"

Bai Qianqian was speechless for a moment. Of course she wanted to fight back, not just fight back, but fight back ten or a hundred times harder!

But she couldn't say this.

But even if she didn't say it, the resentment in her eyes was clearly seen by the Queen Mother. She shook her head immediately, with a hint of dissatisfaction and blame in her tone.

"Princess Lian, you are a noblewoman after all, but why are you now only thinking about those tit-for-tat schemes with the common people?"

The Queen Mother's words were almost like asking her directly, "Do you have the bearing of a Prime Minister's daughter?"

Bai Qianqian no longer has the composure to remain calm now. She is so angry that she wants to die!

Is it wrong for her to want to repay an eye with an eye? !

She is obviously the victim, yet we ask her to be magnanimous!

Did she deserve to be beaten? !

Bai Qianqian's eyes, which were already red from crying, could no longer hold back her tears. She felt so aggrieved and angry that she wished she could go home and ask her father to make the decision for her.

The Queen Mother, perhaps feeling sorry for her, softened her tone and said, "Alright, that's all for today. Your injuries have not been treated yet, so you should treat them now and heal them as soon as possible."

There is only one month left until New Year's Eve, and it would be awkward to invite her to the table with such an ugly face.

Bai Qianqian understood what the Queen Mother meant and cried even harder.

Seeing that no one was there to help her, she finally didn't want to face anyone in this state anymore, so she hurriedly called Zi Xi to come in and help her back to the house to treat her injuries.

Helian Yue saw that Zi Xi, who came in from outside, also had messy hair and a purple area around one of his eyes. It was obvious that he had been beaten. There was a little blood under his nose and he didn't look well.

Standing together with Bai Qianqian at this moment, they looked quite like a "master and servant"...
