Chapter 211 Xiao Baozhu wakes up
Emperor Defeng is the emperor. If he wants to investigate, how could he not find out?
At first, Sun Chenghai and his son brought Sun Muzhi to the palace to apologize. Emperor Defeng had not yet received the news from the secret guards, so he was just angry with the Sun family, which is why he made them kneel in the palace for most of the day.
Afterwards, the secret guard reported the truth to him, and the anger in Emperor Defeng's heart was instantly ignited, which led to the accountability in the imperial study.
Emperor Defeng's words were like a bolt of lightning to Empress Sun, and Sun Chenghai was petrified instantly.
What was the truth? Jingxuan had actually concealed it from him and done something so foolish!
The emperor had known the truth for a long time, but he kept it secret and just watched their performance quietly.
At this moment, he seemed to see the death of the Sun family.
Empress Sun's breathing quickened. "No, how is it possible? How could Xuan'er do such a thing?"
"Does the Queen think that I have wronged them? If the Queen does not believe me, I will order someone to summon Jiang Zelin into the palace and confront him face to face."
Empress Sun opened her mouth but could not speak.
The blow was too great for her. She was breathing rapidly and could hardly breathe.
When the emperor saw this, he felt a little pity in his heart, but he never said a word to comfort or appease her.
It's time for her to wake up.
It is true that the Sun family is her maternal family, but compared to her maternal family, Baozhu should be the person she cherishes the most, and she should not be deceived anymore.
Sun Chenghai's body was already shaking like a sieve. When he came to his senses, he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, Jingxuan made this blunder out of a moment of confusion. I am willing to resign from my position and only ask Your Majesty to show mercy and spare Jingxuan's life!"
"A moment of confusion? If he really was confused, he should have confessed to me immediately! I gave you more than one chance, but you repeatedly treated me like a fool!"
Sun Chenghai was filled with remorse.
He turned to Empress Sun and pleaded, "Empress, please, speak up for Jingxuan. He was indeed mistaken this time, and he already knows he was wrong. His crime doesn't deserve death! You've loved him dearly since he was a child. Can you bear to see him die?"
Empress Sun closed her eyes, feeling as if something had cut her heart, causing her excruciating pain.
Once upon a time, she did favor Sun Jingxuan very much.
Because he looked very similar to her son, after the son died, the Sun family often sent him to the palace to accompany him. Gradually, she got over the pain of losing her son.
This feeling and sustenance are different.
She loved him even more than she loved Xiao Baozhu.
But now, this love has turned into naked betrayal. How can she not be heartbroken?
Empress Sun roared angrily, "Brother, you know I love him the most, but is he worthy of my love by doing this?"
"He was just confused for a moment..."
"He was going to murder Baozhu's reputation. If he had any conscience, he wouldn't do that."
Empress Sun's heart was completely chilled.
She was completely disappointed with Sun Jingxuan and the Sun family.
She felt a deep sense of guilt and self-blame towards Xiao Baozhu.
If she hadn't neglected Baozhu so much, how could others ignore her so much?
It was her fault as a mother.
Sun Chenghai raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
"I failed to teach Jingxuan well. I am willing to die as an apology!"
After saying that, he stood up and ran straight into the pillar.
In an instant, blood gushed out and he fell to the ground.
"Queen, please, for your mother's sake, please plead for Jingxuan..."
After saying this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
After a series of shocks, Empress Sun's body could no longer support her and she fainted. The palace servants immediately became busy and hurriedly helped the empress back to Kunning Palace.
At this moment, the palace maids came hurriedly, shouting with joy.
"Your Majesty, the princess is awake! The princess is awake! The imperial physician said that the prescription is effective. The princess is awake and her life is no longer in danger!"
A hint of joy flashed across Emperor Defeng's originally anxious face, and he was about to head towards Changle Palace.
The chief eunuch Feng Youcai spoke up to remind him, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the uncle and the grandson?"
Emperor Defeng glanced at them, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
"Sun Chenghai, demoted three ranks, and confined to reflect on his mistakes for six months. As for Sun Jingxuan, he just received over twenty lashes, so I'll spare him this time. If Baozhu gets hurt again, I'll settle the score with him."
"The emperor is so magnanimous and kind, which is a blessing for them."
Emperor Defeng snorted coldly, "I am only doing this for the Empress's sake."
After all, the Sun family is the Queen's family. If he really beat Sun Jingxuan to death, Queen Sun would certainly find it difficult to let it go.
It was a good thing that a beating made Empress Sun realize the nature of the Sun family.
More importantly, Baozhu woke up and was no longer in danger of death. Otherwise, he would not have let it go so easily.
Xiao Baozhu woke up, but she was still weak and her face was pale.
When Emperor Defeng arrived, she had just eaten some millet porridge and had recovered some of her energy.
"Father..."
Emperor Defeng held her hand, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Good boy, you finally woke up!"
"It is I who have caused Father to worry."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's good that you woke up. Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"
Xiao Baozhu said she was fine, but she was very weak. She only had time to ask about Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi's situation before she fell into a deep sleep again.
After leaving Changle Palace, Emperor Defeng felt relieved and relaxed.
Only then did he remember Sun Muzhi.
After learning the truth, he immediately ordered people to carry him to the hospital for treatment, but he didn't have time to ask any other questions.
"How's Sun Muzhi?"
Feng Youcai hurriedly said, "The imperial physician has reported that the Third Young Master Feng's injuries to his waist and abdomen are most serious. However, he has taken tiger gall, a sacred ingredient for healing, and he is in good health. As long as he recuperates well, his life will be fine."
Emperor Defeng paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Tiger courage?"
Feng Youcai nodded, "Exactly, that's the imperial physician's diagnosis."
A hint of admiration flashed in Emperor Defeng's eyes.
This Sun Muzhi is quite interesting. Not only is he extremely brave and killed a tiger, but even after being seriously injured, he was still able to force himself to take out the tiger's gall and swallow it. His tenacity is truly extraordinary.
Unlike the spineless Sun family.
Yes, he is just an adopted son of the Sun family, not the real blood of the Sun family.
"This boy is both brave and resourceful, a rare talent. When his injuries heal, he will serve as the commander of my guards. He deserves a generous reward for rescuing the princess. Feng Youcai, you will handle this matter."
Feng Youcai quickly agreed.
At this moment, someone else came to report, "Your Majesty, the wife of the third branch of the Sun family has struck the drum to appeal for justice for the Third Young Master."
The Dengwen Drum is located outside the Ministry of Justice and is specially set up for people who have been wronged.
But not everyone dares to strike this drum, because anyone who strikes it will first be beaten with ten boards.
