Chapter 212 Still want to get married
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Emperor Defeng quickly realized what was going on.
Mrs. Sun San was speaking up for Sun Muzhi.
Sun Muzhi was only her adopted son, but she dared to go to the government to report the incident for him. This third wife was also a person of affection and righteousness.
Emperor Defeng immediately ordered Feng Youcai to deal with it and make sure no one was hurt by mistake. Feng Youcai did not dare to delay and hurried there.
Emperor Defeng sent someone to inform Concubine Rou of the news that Xiao Baozhu had awakened, and also gave her a lot of rewards. After all, it was thanks to the prescription she came up with that Xiao Baozhu was able to escape danger.
Concubine Rou and Ye Hanyi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Hanyi couldn't help but be curious, "Aunt, you haven't practiced martial arts since you were a child, and you have no chance of getting hurt. Who would give you that recipe?"
She really had no use for the recipe, but the man said that it was the most valuable thing he had and insisted on giving it to her.
Who would have thought that today, this recipe would actually be useful?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken yet, Ye Hanyi's face was full of gossip, "Aunt, who is that person?"
Concubine Rou reached out and poked her forehead, "You're the only one who talks too much."
Ye Hanyi failed to get any useful gossip from Concubine Rou. Although he felt regretful, he decided to stop while he was ahead and did not ask any further questions.
When Lu Zhiran received the news from Concubine Rou and learned that Xiao Baozhu was out of danger, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation of the Sun family is also very interesting.
Before the Sun family father and son went to the palace to apologize, they sent people to spread rumors, blaming Sun Muzhi for the incident of Xiao Baozhu being attacked by a tiger.
Mrs. Sun San's wife, Zhen, struck the drum to appeal for justice for her son. When he was being tortured, Feng Youcai, the eunuch who served the emperor, rushed to stop him personally and clarified the truth in public.
It turned out that Sun Muzhi was not at fault at all, but was the main contributor to this matter. It was he who tried his best to save the Ninth Princess.
Sun Jingxuan was the mastermind behind this incident, but he pushed Sun Muzhi out as a scapegoat.
The emperor was wise and powerful and saw through their conspiracy. Sun Chenghai and his son were carried out of the palace. One of them had a wound on his forehead and was breathing more than breathing in, while the other had his buttocks bruised and was half dead.
An imperial edict of demotion and a stream of rewards were sent to the Sun family at the same time.
The imperial edict of demotion was issued to the eldest branch of the Sun family. The emperor's uncle, Sun Chenghai, was demoted three levels and forced to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for half a year.
All the rewards came from the three houses. Such a huge contrast made the people feel like they were enjoying a good show.
Old Lady Sun came to the palace to ask for an audience with Empress Sun. Empress Sun met her, but she was no longer as close and warm as before.
Madam Sun sighed, "Empress, Jingxuan was wrong in this matter, but he has been punished and has recognized his mistakes. I personally asked him, and he is willing to marry Baozhu. Previously, he just hadn't realized his feelings."
Empress Sun's expression was indifferent. "Mother, do you still want to get married?"
Madam Sun observed her expression and said tentatively, "Our Sun family is Baozhu's maternal family. Baozhu will marry into the Sun family and know our family inside and out. She will definitely not suffer any injustice."
Empress Sun laughed sarcastically, "That's not necessary. If Baozhu marries into the Sun family, it will only hinder Jingxuan's bright future."
Madam Sun was a little anxious. "Are you still holding a grudge against Jingxuan? He said it himself that he knew he was wrong and promised to treat Baozhu well. As for the so-called future, the Sun family doesn't need him to earn it."
Empress Sun looked directly at her mother and said in a cold tone, "Before, it was you who didn't want her to marry. Now, it's me who doesn't want her to marry. It's not that Baozhu can't marry, it's not that she has to be in the Sun family."
Old Madam Sun heard the coldness in her words and her heart tightened.
"We are a family. How can it be the same if Baozhu marries into another family than marrying into the Sun family?"
Empress Sun's face turned completely cold.
It is indeed different. If she married into another family, others would at least be wary of her princess status and would not dare to make things difficult for her.
But in the Sun family, they would only rely on their cousin relationship to suppress her.
She originally had beautiful fantasies about the Sun family, but everything was shattered overnight.
"Mother, do you think that after all that has happened, the Emperor will still agree to Baozhu marrying into the Sun family?"
"You are the Queen, and the Emperor respects you the most. As long as you speak..."
Empress Sun interrupted her, "Then what makes you think I would push my own daughter into this fire pit? I'm tired, mother, please go back. If you have nothing else to do, please don't come to the palace anymore."
Madam Sun's expression changed several times. She wanted to say something, but a maid came forward and politely but unquestioningly sent the guest away. "Please come in, Madam."
She knew very well that there was no turning back on this matter, so she could only swallow back all the words that came to her mouth.
In the past, this daughter was the easiest to control, and she didn't care much about Baozhu. Old Madam Sun thought that she was just angry this time, and if she lowered her head and persuaded her, her heart would return to the Sun family.
Unexpectedly, everything was out of control.
The Sun family has caused such a big scandal and has become estranged from Empress Sun. It will be difficult for them to make a comeback in the future.
As soon as Old Lady Sun left, Empress Sun stroked her chest and was unable to recover for a long time.
When Wu Ma, the confidant, saw this, she felt even more distressed.
"My lady, please take things easy and don't let yourself get hurt by anger."
Empress Sun smiled bitterly, "I deserve all this."
After a pause, he asked, "How is Baozhu?"
Nanny Wu said hurriedly, "The princess is recovering very well and will be fully recovered soon. This time, it's all thanks to Concubine Rou."
Empress Sun's eyes darkened a little and she nodded slowly.
She sent a thank-you gift to Concubine Rou's Xiyan Palace, and also sent a lot of nourishing food to Changle Palace. Nanny Wu advised her, "Since Your Majesty is worried about the princess, why not go and see her in person?"
Empress Sun shook her head. "No, I'm still sick. Don't pass my illness on to her."
What's more, she may not want to see herself.
The entire conversation between Old Lady Sun and Empress Sun reached Emperor Defeng's ears. He showed no change of expression and was obviously in a much better mood.
Finally, Empress Sun stopped being confused.
If she continued to be stubborn and favored the Sun family, Emperor Defeng would be completely disappointed in her.
Xiao Baozhu lay in bed for a few days and her health gradually improved.
Concubine Rou's prescription was surprisingly effective.
After a few more days, she was able to get out of bed and walk around freely.
On the contrary, Ye Hanyi suffered external injuries and was held down by Concubine Rou and could not get up.
Ye Hanyi was so bored that she almost wanted to pick her feet, so Concubine Rou invited Lu Zhiran into the palace to keep her company. When Xiao Baozhu heard about it, she immediately asked the palace servants to carry her to Xiyan Palace.
The three of them met, and the two who were recovering from their injuries came back to life.
Xiao Baozhu felt disgusted when she mentioned the dirty deeds of Sun Jingxuan and Jiang Zelin.
"Don't mention them now, or I'm going to vomit up all the food I ate the night before."
They quickly changed the topic and started talking about Sun Muzhi.
"Baozhu, you must recognize him, right?"
Xiao Baozhu nodded and said, "I recognize him. I saw him when I went to the Sun family when I was young."
