Chapter 52: Dragged to the Ministry of Punishment
At night, Yu Ying'er did sing "Eternal Reunion", and the Queen Mother was quite happy to hear it.
But the emperor felt that Ying'er's voice was still inferior to the one who sang in Concubine Hua's palace.
Unable to bear the title of "Lady Miaoyin", she only gave Yu Ying'er some rewards.
Of course, a more important reason is that the emperor does not want to follow the past life that Nian Shilan knew.
The emperor is still committed to changing his destiny.
Yu Ying'er didn't know that she had a title, so she was naturally not unhappy.
On the other hand, Sun Miaoqing was very happy to hear that she was not given the title of Lady Miaoyin because of the unpleasant confrontation on Changjie.
I thought the emperor remembered what I said that day and remembered that Yu Ying'er was ignorant of etiquette, so he did not give her this grace.
This was all thanks to the favoritism she figured out herself, which rekindled her fighting spirit.
Knowing that An Lingrong had difficulty opening up to her, Sun Miaoqing began to set her sights on other people.
That night, everyone paid their respects to the Queen.
Sun Miaoqing took the initiative to take Cao Qinmo's arm and go back. They were chatting and laughing when the paper lantern in Luzhu's hand caught fire in the wind. As luck would have it, Yu Ying'er passed by in the Fengluan Chun'en carriage.
The horse was frightened.
Sun Miaoqing felt uneasy at the moment:
Finished!
This, this, this, is it possible that Lian Xin will have to do the Baji scene herself now?
That’s the Ministry of Punishment!
Yu Ying'er was shocked, it was not a big deal, but when she saw Sun Miaoqing——
Hey! Last time we met on the long street, I relied on my status as a regular to give myself a good face.
He also said some weird things and threatened me.
Now he has finally fallen into his own hands.
Luzhu stepped forward to admit her mistake, but Yu Ying'er refused to admit it and insisted that Sun Miaoqing had done it on purpose.
She wants Sun Miaoqing to apologize!
Sun Miaoqing had been annoyed with her for a long time, so she apologized with her neck stiff. However, Yu Ying'er refused to give in and said that she was insincere, so she became impolite in her response.
The two men ignored their status and started arguing in the long street.
One is a maid who is not favored by Concubine Hua, and the other is An Ying who stays near Concubine Hua all day long.
Cao Qinmo didn't like any of them and didn't want to help any of them. She was afraid of getting covered in blood, so she quietly hid in the dark.
When Yu Ying'er was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to put Sun Miaoqing in the Ministry of Punishment, she came out to be a good person again -
It was not her original intention to be this good person, but she was present today, and if she did not intervene, she was afraid that things would get out of hand and Concubine Hua would blame her.
The face was sold to Concubine Hua.
"This is all just a misunderstanding. I have to hurry to serve the Emperor, so we shouldn't waste time. How about - give me some face and make today's matter smaller?"
If a big thing is directly eliminated or the leap is too big, it is obviously unfair, and Sun Miaoqing has room for maneuver afterwards.
But if the matter can be made small, it means that Yu Ying'er is magnanimous, and it will be difficult for me to pursue the matter further.
Sun Miaoqing naturally disagreed.
Yu Ying'er has learned a lot from Nian Shilan in this life. "Sister Cao saw it. It's not that I don't want to make a big deal out of a small matter. It's actually Sister Gong who is bullying others by taking advantage of her power."
Seeing that Yu agreed to turn the tables, Sun Miaoqing gave up completely.
Since I have accidentally suffered for someone else again today, I will just let her put myself in the Ministry of Punishment.
After a night of hardship, tomorrow you will have the comfort of the Empress Dowager and the sympathy of the Emperor.
Bulbasaur has the support of Concubine Hua, so the emperor will definitely make a note of Nian Shilan in his little notebook.
No matter how you look at it, you will never suffer any loss!
Sun Miaoqing stepped forward and said, "Yu Ying'er, if you are really capable, put me in the Ministry of Punishment right now! Immediately! Immediately!"
"Someone come!"
How could Yu Ying'er bear such provocation? She pointed her finger and said, "Drag her to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Two eunuchs came forward.
Sun Miaoqing was not afraid at all.
However, the two eunuchs did not subdue Sun Miaoqing, but instead captured the palace maid Lu Zhu beside her.
"Yu Ying'er! What are you doing?"
If he went into the Ministry of Punishment, he could still come out, but if Lu Zhu went in, even if he could come out, he would lose half his life.
Sun Miaoqing tried to rescue Luzhu, but Cao Qinmo grabbed her at this time.
"My dear sister, it's getting late. We can't continue to make trouble about this matter."
She shook her head slowly—
No matter how reasonable he is, if he continues to make trouble, it would be a small matter to disturb the Emperor and the Empress, but if he disturbs the Empress Dowager, he would be really ignorant and unreasonable.
Cao Qinmo continued: "Be patient for a while, and the storm will calm down."
Sun Miaoqing has breast pain.
I'm so unwilling.
She had just entered the palace. Her mission to become the empress dowager hadn't even begun yet, but she was about to lose an arm?
"My lord, my lord, please save this slave girl - my lord -"
The sound of the green bamboo disappeared into the dark night.
The bell of the Fengluan Chunen car rang again, and the paper lanterns on the ground burned out, and the flames gradually went out.
Yu Ying'er was so happy that she almost opened her mouth to sing, but she remembered Concubine Hua's instructions and quickly shut up.
Cao Qin silently said a few words to comfort Sun Miaoqing, and ordered her maid to send Sun Miaoqing back to Yanxi Palace.
Yinxiu looked at Sun Miaoqing's back and asked in confusion, "My young lady, I noticed that Concubine Gong seemed to be trying to show her favor to you recently. Why didn't you help her tonight?"
If the person standing in the middle and trying to persuade someone to quarrel moves slightly to the left or right, he will be considered biased.
Cao Qinmo moved to the right towards Yu Ying'er.
"That's Concubine Hua! The Empress Dowager is pampering and coaxing her now."
"The generals won the battles in the New Year. For most of the first month of the year, the emperor was in Jingren Palace except for the first and fifteenth days. Gong Changzai was better than other newcomers, but in total, it was only three times. The rest of the time, he was in Yikun Palace."
"The Emperor loves Concubine Chonghua more and more~~~"
There was also envy in Cao Qinmo's voice, but what could envy do?
In terms of beauty and family background, she was no match for Concubine Hua.
Could it be that Sun Miaoqing's situation is better than mine?
Maybe, maybe she had a long-term vision, saw the emperor's suspicion, and thought about the consequences of the Nian family's downfall, but she was stupid not to care about the long-term future.
The utmost stupidity.
No one can predict what will happen in the future.
What's more, Concubine Hua seems to be different from before.
There is really no need for me to give up a big tree for a piece of driftwood.
"Even Anshi didn't choose her."
But Cao Qinmo did not completely look down on this piece of driftwood.
After all, imperial power is supreme, and the emperor intends to use the Sun family. Whether the drifting wood will sprout new buds remains to be seen in the future.
Cao Qinmo took Yinxiu back to her own palace.
Fengluan Chunen's car drove past the intersection, and Xin Changzai walked out from the shadow of the palace gate.
She looked at the place where the dispute had just taken place. When she came out of the Empress's Palace tonight, she had been traveling with Concubine Chun. If Concubine Hua had not stopped her and said a few more words to her, she might have been the one who had a conflict with Yu.
Yu Ying'er has been spoiled recently, and Xin Chang is often unhappy in her heart. She thinks about her own temper.
If he were in a different position, Chun Changzai would be too young to persuade her like Cao Qinmo did, and he would probably be the one imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.
Was what happened tonight done by Concubine Hua an accidental act, or was it intentional?
The maid reminded her, and then Concubine Xin set out to return to the palace.
After everyone on the long street had left, a figure limped away in the darkness.
"My lady, everything has been done according to your instructions."
