Chapter 115 Qiao Yueying was punished
"Qiao Niannian, you just can't stand me being better than you, you can't stand me being better than you, I hate you."
Qiao Yueying stared at her viciously like a venomous snake.
Xia Muyan felt a little uncomfortable with her staring.
Qiao Niannian directly pulled the person behind her and met Qiao Yueying's gaze without fear.
It would be fine if the eyes could kill people.
Otherwise, Qiao Yueying's strength was useless to Qiao Niannian.
Qiao Niannian looked at the wolf-like Qiao Yueying and chuckled.
"I didn't ask you to lie, and I didn't ask you to cheat people and gain benefits. You were obsessed with it and wanted to take the credit for saving the Queen Mother, so you ended up like this."
"Qiao Yueying, you can't blame anyone."
"You caused everything yourself, and today you will taste the consequences of your own actions."
The Queen Mother was now completely sure that it was Qiao Yueying who lied.
The benefactor she had always thought of was actually a liar. The
Queen Mother was a fierce and powerful person when she was young.
She managed the entire harem in an orderly manner,
but now that she was old, she was deceived by a little girl.
The Queen Mother was furious and made a harsh statement.
"Qiao Yueying, Xu, you and your daughter are a traitor, bullying the inferiors and committing crimes against the superiors. You will be beaten with thirty sticks. From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in the palace."
Thirty sticks.
It was a stick inside the palace, which was no small matter.
You should know that the sticks used to beat people are usually made of chestnut wood, and the end that hits people is cut into a hammer shape and covered with iron sheets.
After one hit, you can see blood.
This is different from the stick that Huo used to teach Qiao Beichen before.
Qiao Beichen was a man, and he was beaten so hard that he lay on the bed for several days and couldn't get up.
This is the result of the thugs showing mercy.
If the executioner did not show mercy, thirty sticks would probably make her lose her life.
Qiao Yueying really angered the Queen Mother this time. Usually, when concubines committed crimes, they were never punished so severely.
Qiao Yueying also knew how severe the punishment was, and her face turned pale instantly.
Xu was anxious and begged for mercy.
"Your Highness the Queen Mother... you beat her well. Qiao Yueying committed insubordination and should be punished."
The Queen Mother frowned.
Although Xu's words were sensible, it was too disrespectful for her to say such words instead of begging for mercy when she saw her daughter being beaten.
Qiao Yueying knew what was wrong with Xu.
But what did she know?
Her aunt couldn't even beg for mercy for her .
Qiao Yueying closed her eyes, her face full of despair.
Aunt Xu cried, and lay on Qiao Yueying, crying.
The Queen Mother was even more angry.
This Xu is two-faced. She just said that Qiao Yueying should be punished, but now she is protecting her from the guards.
What does this mean?
Does she not take her words seriously?
The Queen Mother simply ordered in a deep voice: "Since they are so inseparable, drag them out and beat them together."
In the end, both of them were dragged out.
Cining Palace was quiet in an instant.
The Queen Mother glanced at Huo and Qiao Niannian, and her complexion improved a lot.
As for Qiao Chushan.
This is the harem, Qiao Chushan did not come in, but stayed outside waiting.
The Queen Mother had a lot of opinions about Huo because of Qiao Yueying's matter before, but now that she knows the truth, she thinks Huo has done a good job.
Especially Qiao Niannian's finishing touch just now.
If Qiao Niannian hadn't reminded her, she might have really misunderstood Du Ruo.
The Queen Mother thought about it and felt a little curious.
"This must be Nian Nian!"
"The little girl is so pretty. Seeing that you have a good relationship with Xiao Shi, you two can be companions."
"But I'm curious, how did you know that Du Ruo fed me the pill?"
Qiao Niannian said calmly.
"I saw some cause and effect from the faces of the Queen Mother and Miss Du, and I happened to see the small gourd on Miss Du's waist somewhere else."
"This is a small gourd for pills."
"The body of this small gourd is smooth and bright, and there is slight wear on one side. You can tell at a glance that it has been carried for many years."
"I guess the Queen Mother fainted at the time and the situation was urgent. Later, the Queen Mother woke up and was not unwell at all. It is very likely that she ate something to protect her body."
"That's why I asked you just now."
The Queen Mother heard this and became more interested: "I didn't expect that you are so smart at such a young age and can even read faces."
"I wonder who your master is? I wonder if I can meet him."
The Great Xia Dynasty attaches great importance to metaphysics.
Qiao Niannian's master might be a master, and the Queen Mother wants to meet him.
Qiao Niannian helped a lot with today's matter.
This master must be amazing. The
Queen Mother looked at Qiao Niannian expectantly.
Qiao Niannian calmly replied: "The Queen Mother may not be able to see my master, but she can go to burn incense in front of my master's tablet."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo hurriedly pulled Qiao Niannian's sleeve.
"Nonsense, how can you let the Queen Mother go to burn incense!"
Qiao Niannian was puzzled.
Her master had already ascended to heaven, a real god, and was originally worshipped by the world.
The Queen Mother was a wealthy person in the world, and it would be good for both her and her master if the Queen Mother burned incense.
The Queen Mother didn't take it to heart.
It was she who wanted to meet Qiao Niannian's master, but she didn't expect that Qiao Niannian's master had passed away.
But Emperor Jing'an, who was standing by, was thinking about it.
The last time he was cursed with a blood curse, it was all thanks to Qiao Niannian's help.
Although he gave a lot of rewards, he couldn't erase Qiao Niannian's life-saving grace.
He didn't ask about Qiao Niannian's master before.
Now that he knows the news of Qiao Niannian's master's death.
Emperor Jing'an thinks he should go and burn some incense to express his gratitude.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing'an spoke.
"Mother, to be honest with you, I also asked Nian girl to help me before. Nian girl is very capable. Why don't we go and burn some incense together?"
The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard it.
He knew his son's personality.
He usually treated important figures like the Imperial Master with courtesy. Although he respected Wang Xuanzhi and others, they were still the emperor and his subjects.
What did Qiao Niannian do to help her son that made him, the emperor of a country, go to burn incense in person?
However, Emperor Jing'an did not continue to speak, and the Queen Mother did not ask.
After all, there are many people and eyes, and some things should be said in private.
"Okay, then tomorrow, I, the emperor, the queen, and I will go to the Taoist temple to burn incense."
After saying that, the queen mother looked at Qiao Niannian again.
"I wonder which Taoist temple your master is from?"
"Empress Dowager, my master is Dao Cunxu, and his master's school is Taiqingmen. The current Taoist temple is in the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion." Queen
Mother: ...
Emperor: ...
Queen: ...
Good guy. This
is the first time I heard of such a simple Taoist temple built right at home.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Emperor Jing'an and signaled with her eyes.
Are we still going to burn incense?
Emperor Jing'an groaned for a moment and nodded.
Go.
How can I not go now that I have said it?
He made the final decision.
"Then tomorrow, I will take the Queen Mother and the Empress, as well as the Crown Prince and the Tenth Princess, to the Marquis Mingyuan's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo quickly agreed.
Upon hearing this, Du Ruo was also curious.
She also wanted to see what the Taoist temple built at home looked like, but the people going to the Marquis Mingyuan's Mansion tomorrow are all big shots, so she'd better forget it!
