Chapter 218: What Mistake Did My Sister Make?
Emperor Zhaoning and his people all heard Jiujiu's thoughts.
Everyone looked at Princess Anxin.
Princess Anxin felt a chill down her spine and was terrified when she was looked at.
Oh my God, why do the emperor, the empress dowager, the princes, and the royal family all look at her like this.
The eyes look strange.
Cold, serious and picky.
It was like she had done something unforgivable and it was exposed, but she didn't know about it and everyone knew about it.
Everyone was waiting for the first person to speak, and then they would judge her together.
It seems that the emperor can't stand her arrogance and is unwilling to follow the will of the late emperor to let her continue to govern the three cities and wants to take away her power? Now he is uniting everyone to put pressure on her.
Princess Anxin felt cold all over and her calves trembled when she was stared at by everyone.
She stood up, supported by the table in front of her, glanced at her husband, and told him not to worry about her and to sit still.
She walked to the center of the hall by herself.
With a plop, she knelt down.
The knee hit the ground hard, making a sound, and it looked painful.
Everyone frowned.
Emperor Zhaoning wanted Princess Anxin to get up quickly as she looked a little unhappy.
But Princess Anxin spoke first.
"Brother, I am wrong."
"Your Highness will admit it yourself."
Admit all mistakes.
Don't look at me like that!
As if he wanted to kill someone.
I also hope that you can consider that I took the initiative to admit my mistakes, so the punishment won’t be too severe.
She herself didn't care, but it was different for her husband-in-law. He wasn't good at martial arts, and his health was poor. He couldn't withstand any blow. She couldn't bear to let him suffer, nor did she want anything to happen to her and his child.
"Admit your mistake?" Emperor Zhaoning was a little confused. Why should he admit his mistake for no reason?
"When I was a child, I gave you a laxative!" Princess Anxin said with her head down.
Emperor Zhaoning: “…”
Princess Anxin didn't know why Emperor Zhaoning and his entourage looked at her like that because they were concerned about the mistake she had made?
I can only recognize them one by one as I remember them.
Anyway, she has the golden medal of immunity from death left by the late emperor.
No matter what happens, as long as it's not too serious, her attitude of admitting mistakes is correct, and her remorse is clear, nothing will happen.
"But my royal brother, I didn't do it on purpose. I made a mistake."
"I was going to put it in my eldest brother's tea, but who knew that my eldest brother's tea was, was eaten by you."
Emperor Zhaoning: It's you! Back then, my chrysanthemum was almost broken!
"Also, my sister has sent people into the palace, but they were all good people."
"I've been away from home for many years, and I'm concerned about the people I grew up with. I want to know what's going on with everyone."
"It's just to inquire about the news of my brothers and sisters, nothing else. Brother, you must believe me!"
Emperor Zhaoning: “…”
The arm is so long!
But, it’s not a big deal.
Who didn't plant someone in the palace? As long as they didn't cause trouble, he would turn a blind eye.
"I, your sister, slapped you in the face when you were drunk as a teenager."
"It was just one slap. It was because you were drunk and crazy. You thought of your biological mother and slapped me. I was so angry that I slapped you back. I regretted it afterwards. I..."
"Alright." Emperor Zhaoning felt a little headache and embarrassed after his scandal was exposed. He stopped her and said, "Don't say anything more. It's just a small matter. It's all over."
Besides, he will be so embarrassed.
"Then there is something else." Princess Anxin was a woman after all. Facing the judgmental gazes of the crowd, she could not help but break out in a cold sweat. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Sister, I have something else to confess."
"???"
What's the big deal?
Emperor Zhaoning became serious.
Princess Anxin said: "I accidentally captured three cities, but I didn't report it!"
"My sister now governs six cities."
"You..." Such a thing was not reported? What did she want to do? Was she planning to rebel and become the emperor?
"Royal brother, it's not that I don't want to report it or have ill intentions. It's just that those three cities have been causing trouble from time to time, and civil unrest has been frequent and fierce. I want to clean it up before reporting it!"
"That's not a big deal!" Emperor Zhaoning said, "On the contrary, it is a merit in expanding the territory."
"It is a credit!" Princess Anxin said in her heart, "Then why are you looking at me like that?" It made her feel uneasy!
Is it because she made things difficult for Concubine Jia and the little princess?
Not really!
She just said a few harsh words.
But considering the rumors about how favored Concubine Jia and Jiujiu are, it might be possible.
Princess Anxin was afraid of being bullied for this matter, so she sighed and took the initiative to talk about it, "Brother, I didn't mean to embarrass Concubine Jia and the princess. I actually wanted to tell them that it's okay to compete for favor, but you can't use stupid tricks like dressing up as a woman!"
"This will ruin Old Eighteen's life."
"After all, I am Old Eighteen's aunt. I wouldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb while knowing that this is problematic."
"Plus, I was anxious and wanted to speak up for my sisters, so I spoke rudely and slandered Concubine Jia and the princess."
"My sister is wrong!"
Princess Anxin kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
Emperor Zhaoning felt a headache after hearing this. This An Xin was exactly the same as she was when she was a child, fierce, naughty, and a little domineering.
But without losing its true character.
This is why the emperor dotes on her and why he doesn't dislike An Xin.
An Xin's expression is all over his face. He is not a mean person and has a very cool personality.
"It's not a big deal! Get up!" Emperor Zhaoning didn't care. After all, Princess Anxin was dying now.
well--
"I can't get up. I apologize to Concubine Jia and the little princess."
Princess Anxin apologized to the two of them.
She was still afraid after all.
She was afraid that she had no blood relationship with Emperor Zhaoning and was just the adopted daughter of the previous emperor. Emperor Zhaoning had no feelings for her. If something she did displeased Emperor Zhaoning, it would bring disaster to herself.
"It was my sister who was impulsive before."
"I admit my mistake."
"Get up!" Emperor Zhaoning saw that Princess Anxin's complexion was getting worse. He was afraid that as Jiujiu thought, Princess Anxin had health problems and the situation was very bad.
She'd better not be so excited and kneel down.
After all, she had never given him any hardship when she was a child.
He would not make things difficult for her now because of anything as she was about to die.
Princess Anxin got up.
Emperor Zhaoning asked, "Where is Doctor Qing?"
Qingzi stood up from his seat and nodded, "I'm here!"
"Go check Princess Anxin's pulse and give her a few injections."
Feeling the pulse? Acupuncture?
baffling.
Was he going to take this opportunity to stab her to death?
Princess Anxin knew how powerful the needles in the hands of the imperial physician were. A few acupuncture points could kill a person. At this moment, Qingzi wanted to feel her pulse and give her acupuncture, but she shrank back and resisted.
She also said: "Royal brother, what crime did I commit? Tell me directly... Explain it clearly. Don't treat me like this, and don't let the imperial physician kill me without knowing it!"
