Chapter 362 Much Better
"The second prince is indeed still young. If the prince makes a mistake, his mother is also responsible." Empress Dowager Li said indifferently.
"Forget it, Concubine Feng has also suffered this. I will not punish her severely. But the Second Prince must be confined to his house for half a year and read the Book of Filial Piety carefully." The emperor finally said. It seemed like he was compromising with Empress Dowager Feng, but Empress Dowager Feng knew exactly what was going on.
Empress Dowager Feng saw that the Emperor was reluctant to punish Jing Zhaoyi, and the Empress actually stood on Jing Zhaoyi's side.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Of course, the queen would not stand on Feng's side.
"I just think of the past... when Concubine Yang was so favored, my life was difficult." Empress Dowager Feng suddenly sighed.
This means that today's Jing Zhaoyi is the former Yang Fei.
Qi Yixiu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "My mother is right. The Concubine Jing today is just like Concubine Li back then. I can't ask the Sixth Prince to be like me back then."
Empress Dowager Feng was startled. The emperor wanted to say this the other way around? To refer to the current Concubine Feng as the former Concubine Yang?
But can Concubine Feng Shu's favor be even a fraction of what Concubine Yang had been like back then? "Your Majesty, you're going too far." Empress Dowager Li frowned.
"Yes, mother, it is my son who is excited." The emperor stood up quickly.
"Okay, since you have also punished Jing Zhaoyi, I will add one more thing. Fine her half a year's salary." said Empress Dowager Li.
"Yes." The emperor had no objection.
Empress Dowager Feng sighed, "Never mind. Su Xin is also at fault. I just feel sorry for her suffering, but think about the Sixth Prince. She deserves to suffer, too."
Empress Dowager Feng was extremely dissatisfied, but she could only try to smooth things over.
Since she said so, the emperor naturally agreed and praised her again. In the end, Concubine Feng Shu could only end up not being held accountable.
The Emperor and Empress came out of Empress Dowager Feng's palace and sent Empress Dowager Li back before leaving.
The emperor went directly to Cuiyunxuan and ordered the punishment of the second prince and Jing Zhaoyi.
Because Concubine Feng was beaten, she was spared other punishments, but she almost fainted from anger.
The emperor finally punished the second prince with ten strokes of the cane.
Qi Yixiu was very disappointed with his son who couldn't keep calm.
All those who followed the second prince out today were beaten to death, and the third prince provoked the second prince without reason and was punished with ten slaps on the hands.
The Third Prince was really wronged, but who told him to bring up the matter of the Crown Prince not being a prince?
He deserves to be beaten for causing such a disturbance.
Ten slaps on the hands are not too heavy.
Concubine Kangde was not convinced in her heart, but she acted very well on the surface.
Shen Chuliu drank the medicine and was not in good spirits. Qi Yixiu looked at the Sixth Prince and came over and said with a smile: "The child is fine, but you are sick."
Shen Chuliu smiled and pulled Qi Yixiu's sleeve: "Your Majesty, I was impulsive today."
"Do you know you're wrong?" Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows.
"As a concubine, I know I was wrong. As a mother, I only regret that I didn't beat her to death." Shen Chuliu gritted her teeth.
"Okay, I've punished you. After all, it wasn't intentional. I understand you and I feel sorry for Yan'er. You are not allowed to do anything again in the future, okay?" Qi Yixiu patted her shoulder.
"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry." Shen Chuliu knew there was nothing she could do.
She and Concubine Feng were already at odds with each other, and this time things would only get worse.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting me. I am grateful." It must be said that the emperor definitely protected her.
otherwise……
In fact, she had already thought about the consequences of demotion, and was not afraid even if she was demoted below the nine concubines.
The Sixth Prince is five years old and has already remembered her. Even if she can't raise the child, the child will be raised in Ruiqing Palace.
I won’t let others support me.
With her family background, she will be able to get promoted back to a higher position in a few years.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was much softer than she thought.
Today, Shen Chuliu and the Sixth Prince are going through a tribulation.
Qi Yixiu should naturally stay, but if he stayed, he would definitely not be able to sleep well at night.
First, Shen Chuliu felt hot all over, and before she could do anything, she woke up with a scream.
Shen Chuliu dreamed that she and the Sixth Prince were walking in a thick fog. If she misplaced her eyes, she would never be able to find the child again.
She sat up suddenly, choking on her own saliva and coughing non-stop.
Qi Yixiu was startled: "Are you dreaming?"
Shen Chuliu was coughing and couldn't answer. People from outside didn't dare to come in casually, after all, the emperor was there.
Qi Yixiu sat up and asked someone to come in and light the lamp.
Only then did I realize that Shen Chuliu was burning hot all over.
"He has a fever. Let's call the imperial physician." Qi Yixiu sighed.
After Shen Chuliu coughed, she had no strength left in her body, but she heard the crying of the Sixth Prince again.
The child almost died, so naturally I moved back here to live first.
Shen Chuliu didn't care about himself anymore and hurriedly got up and went downstairs to take a look.
Qi Yixiu arrived a step later and also went to take a look.
The Sixth Prince was still asleep when he cried, and he just sobbed. The nurse didn't dare to wake him up for fear of scaring him further.
Shen Chuliu hurried over and patted him gently: "Don't cry, Yan'er, mother is here, don't be afraid."
She coaxed him softly, and after a while the Sixth Prince woke up, twitched a few times, buried his head in his mother's arms and took a long breath.
This scene made the emperor feel very uncomfortable.
After a long time, Shen Chuliu fell asleep again.
Qi Yixiu took one look and said, "Forget it, let's ask the imperial physician to wait. It's better if she is asleep."
After all, he is an adult, so a fever is not a big deal. It is also uncomfortable to wake him up.
So the emperor went back there, leaving the mother and daughter to fall asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Qi Yixiu woke up and went next door to check on the mother and daughter, but to his surprise, they were still asleep.
I reached out to check and fortunately, everyone's temperature was normal.
After coming out, Qi Yixiu ordered again: "Call the imperial physician to check on them all later."
Zi Rui quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Well, serve me well. Tell your master that I will come for dinner in the evening." Qi Yixiu said and waved his hand and left.
Zi Rui and others hurriedly saw the emperor off.
After getting up, Zi Rui whispered, "It's a good thing the emperor said so. I was really worried that the emperor wouldn't come during the period when our master was under house arrest."
Zizhu also whispered: "I was afraid too, but now it's better. It will be different in a few days."
"By the way, tomorrow is the Tenth Prince's full moon. Let's do this..."
"Go ask the master later. The master is under house arrest, so no one can go. Just send the gift and forget it."
After the two men discussed this, they began to discuss the meal and sent someone to bring it.
Shen Chuliu hugged the child and slept until mid-morning.
The Sixth Prince was so exhausted yesterday that he couldn't even wake up.
When the mother and daughter woke up from hunger, Shen Chuliu was still unconscious when she was awakened by the Sixth Prince's stinky fart.
She slapped his butt in disgust: "I'll forget about the stinking thing."
The Sixth Prince was laughing and probably turned his butt towards her.
The mother and daughter quarreled for a while, but in the end they were very hungry.
After getting up, he asked the imperial physician to check them out, and miraculously, both mother and daughter were fine.
Shen Chuliu had a fever last night, but now it's all gone.
But you still need to take some medicine.
The Sixth Prince is indeed in good health. Although he still looks pale today, he is obviously more energetic.
