Chapter 618 Ling Rong pleads guilty
Concubine Hua is really extremely confused!
The emperor has been angry these days. If he remembers that she beat the concubines, he might take his anger out on her.
Regardless of what the emperor thought, when Concubine Hua of Yikun Palace heard Baoque's serious announcement, she hesitantly patted her ears.
"Miss Baoque, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"
Baoque blinked quickly at Songzhi, whose eyes were tingling, and repeated it expressionlessly.
Concubine Hua exclaimed in disbelief.
"Confine me to my house for three months?!"
"Songzhi, put on my makeup as soon as possible. I need to go to Yongshou Palace!"
Although she doesn't often go out, if she is confined to the Yiku Palace, wouldn't it be like asking for her life?
Concubine Hua couldn't understand it. They were obviously fine last night, so why did An Lingrong become so angry after just one night's sleep?
My master really understands Concubine Hua, and she actually has some objections.
Baoque curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer and spoke out to stop him.
"Empress Hua, even if you go to Yongshou Palace, it will be useless. The Imperial Concubine's order has been issued and there is absolutely no reason to change it."
"My master also left a message. If you have any objections, you will be punished by copying the 'Rules for Women' ten more times!"
"Empress Hua, please personally deliver the copied 'Rules for Women' to Yongshou Palace at the end of the three-month period. I have delivered this message and will now take my leave."
Baoque bowed respectfully and turned away without waiting for Concubine Hua to speak.
"Songzhi, Baoque..."
Songzhi held the hand extended by her master with a worried look on her face and whispered advice.
"Master, Miss Baoque is the favorite of the Imperial Noble Consort. You cannot detain her in the Yikun Palace."
Concubine Hua looked at her in astonishment and quickly denied it.
"I didn't..."
"Your Majesty, you still have to accompany the princess for breakfast. I will help you wash and dress first."
Zhou Ninghai, who also had dark circles under his eyes, also advised.
After beating up Concubine Zhen and her group last night, he was so scared that he didn't dare to close his eyes all night.
He had originally prepared himself to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, but he did not expect that the Imperial Noble Consort would take action before the Emperor.
It would be better to lock the master up in Yiku Palace, so that she would not be accidentally tricked by others in the impulse.
Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai helped Concubine Hua walk inside, and she asked in a low voice.
"Songzhi, did the emperor stay in Yongshou Palace last night?"
Songzhi didn't understand what her master meant for a moment, so she nodded quickly.
Concubine Hua clapped her hands suddenly.
"Lingrong would never treat me like this. This order must be from that old man..."
Zhou Ninghai was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth and begged in panic.
"My master, please be careful with your words!"
Is the emperor someone who can be insulted at will?
If word of this gets out, even if the late Queen Mother crawls out of the mausoleum, she won't be able to save the master.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Concubine Hua glared several times in the direction of the Yangxin Palace in dissatisfaction. If people were not allowed to curse the emperor out loud, she could at least curse him in her heart.
What should I curse about?
She felt she needed to think about it carefully.
Concubine Hua's temper came and went quickly. Before she had even combed her hair, she said with a smile.
"Songzhi, Lingrong is quite thoughtful. She has requested a three-month confinement for me. When I am released from confinement, I will be able to follow the team to the garden to escape the summer heat."
Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi looked at each other helplessly and agreed at the same time.
"The Imperial Concubine has always been considerate, especially to you, my master."
It’s good that the master can be open-minded, so they don’t have to rack their brains to persuade him.
Although the two did not know why the Imperial Concubine did not inform them in advance, they also understood that their master's behavior of beating people yesterday was indeed excessive.
When An Lingrong learned that Concubine Hua had obtained the punishment of copying "Rules for Women" ten times through her "ability", she smiled helplessly.
It’s better to have something to do so that you don’t accidentally get into trouble.
"Bao Ge, Princess Anle likes to eat osmanthus cake. When you go to pick up Zhaohua today, remember to bring her a food box."
"Yes, the servant understands."
Bao Ge smiled and nodded.
There are also people in Yiku Palace who prefer osmanthus cake, and they really need to fill a whole food box with it.
Just as An Lingrong picked up the bowl, Xiao Linzi came hurriedly to report.
"Master, news came from the Imperial Hospital that Wen Shichu and his female doctor rushed to Zhongcui Palace."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go to the Yangxin Palace as well."
Zhen Huan has a history of feigning illness, so she must go and remind the emperor.
When Su Peisheng saw Xiao Xia Zi waving desperately outside the door, his face suddenly turned ugly.
This servant is so clueless. Can't he see that he is busy serving his master?
Su Peisheng retreated quietly with a gloomy face. Just as he was about to ask what the urgent matter was, he looked up and saw the Imperial Noble Consort in court dress kneeling outside.
His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, then he glared at Xiao Xiazi fiercely.
Doesn’t this idiot know to help the queen up first before coming to find him?
Su Peisheng endured the pain and knelt in front of An Lingrong, slightly bent his body, and spoke anxiously.
"Your Highness, what are you doing..."
"Eunuch Su, after much reflection, I believe that yesterday's events were entirely my own fault. I have come to apologize to the Emperor."
An Lingrong stared at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without blinking.
"Eunuch, you have suffered a great crime, so please don't worry about me. Get up quickly."
Su Peisheng's persuasion was futile, and he limped into the hall again.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Consort is kneeling at the palace gate, saying she wants to apologize. No matter how much I persuade her, she won't get up. Please go and take a look."
"What? Rong'er is here to apologize?"
The emperor's hand trembled, and the pen filled with red ink left a big red dot on the bright yellow imperial edict.
He simply threw the red pen on the ruined imperial edict, stood up and walked out.
Su Peisheng, who was close by, vaguely saw the word "deprivation". He wanted to move closer to see it more clearly, but suddenly remembered that there were secret guards on duty in the Yangxin Palace.
When Su Peisheng moved out of the hall, cold sweat broke out on his back.
He had served his master for so many years that he almost forgot his duties as a servant.
"Master, your forehead is sweating, but does it hurt a lot?"
Su Peisheng glared at Xiao Xiazi and cursed in a low voice.
"You have no sense. You haven't prepared tea and snacks for the Imperial Concubine. Instead, you're just asking for trouble by getting in front of me."
"That's what the master taught me."
Xiao Xiazi saw the two masters walking in from the corner of his eye and hurriedly ran towards the small room.
The emperor walked in with An Lingrong in his arms, and asked in a gentle voice.
"Rong'er, is your knee okay? Do you want me to send Li Songling to take a look?"
