Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 157 Admitting Mistakes
Chapter 156

Inside the West Factory.

Liu Dongsheng, who was covered in blood, was tied to a torture pillar, with his hair hanging down, and he looked like he was dying.

After three days and three nights of interrogation, he finally couldn't withstand Dongchang's harsh torture and told him how to teach his daughter to escape danger.

Yu Huatian smiled complacently. He almost never failed to handle a case. Even if he was tortured to death, he would be forced to tell the truth.

"Tell me, where did this pill come from?"

"Yes, it was sent by a lama."

"Where is he now?"

"It's in the back room of the shop."

After Yu Huatian interrogated the truth, he waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to go to Liu's shop again. There were indeed several big houses in the backyard, but there was no one inside.

"You are deceiving me!"

"Spare this little dog's life! I beg you, the Liu family will accompany you as much as you want."

At this time, Liu Dongsheng regretted so much that his guts were green. He regretted that he should not have listened to that lama's words. Where is there a free lunch in this world?
When I think of my daughter, I can't help but feel sad from my heart. I really have brought a big family down.

At the same time, Liu Ruyue of Chuxiu Palace also got the news that his house was sealed up immediately, and she was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

She knows Yuhuatian's cruelty, and only His Majesty can save her from this matter. After all, His Majesty has gained a lot from her during this period of time.
She packed up everything in Shufangzhai, put on makeup and walked out of Shufangzhai. Now everything here did not belong to her. She didn't want to own anything here, she just wanted to save some losses for her family.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao wanted to rest after a few days, and his physical condition basically recovered.

The Empress Dowager has asked someone to take care of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and no one can enter it without permission.

Liu Ruyue came to the door of Yangxin Hall, but was blocked by the guards.

"I am Concubine Hui conferred by His Majesty, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

"The Empress Dowager has an order, no one is allowed to enter without the order of the Empress Dowager, please go back, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ruyue really had no other way, it seemed that she had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask the Queen Mother about this matter.

Inside the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother and Er Niang are discussing Zhu Houzhao's marriage.

"I think it's the best time for my sister to order Xuan'er to enter the palace to take care of Zhao'er?" Er Niang said.

"I don't think so. I understand the child Xuan'er. She may not come even if it is ordered. Now that she has her own opinion, she doesn't even listen to Aijia's words."

"My unsatisfied younger brother has also come here to look for me twice. He seems to be more anxious than Aijia. This girl is getting older, and it's really difficult to deal with."

The queen mother thought of her daughter Xiurong, who was obsessed with martial arts in the palace all day long, as if she ignored her uncle Zhu, and didn't know what she would do in the future if she wanted to learn martial arts for a lifetime.

The queen mother couldn't help sighing: "Oh! The two children I raised have been martial arts all their lives. One wants to gallop on the battlefield and become the overlord of the martial arts in the future. How can the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty be entrusted to them with confidence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little eunuch running in.

"To report to the Queen Mother, Eunuch Yu from Dongchang Yuhuatian and Concubine Hui are asking for an audience outside the palace!"

"Oh, the two of them?" The queen mother hesitated, sat up straight and said to the eunuch, "Let them all come in and talk!"

Liu Ruyue came from Yangxin Hall to ask the Queen Mother for mercy. As soon as she arrived outside, she met Yuhuatian and hurried over.

Yu Huatian glanced at Liu Ruyue with a swollen face, and cursed secretly in his heart: "You prodigal bitch, if it wasn't for His Majesty's sake, you would have been thrown into the army as a military prostitute long ago. Leave you here to embarrass yourself!"

However, after Liu Ruyue saw Yu Huatian, she didn't say a word. In this era where men are superior to women, women have no status at all.

Especially after being possessed by a man, they can basically end their lives.

Liu Ruyue cursed Yu Huatian secretly in her heart, but her eyes rolled like a mouse's.

"The Queen Mother announced that you two should come into the palace to speak!"

The eunuch shouted to the two standing on the ground with a voice like a rooster, but neither of them moved forward.

"Oh! Really!"

The eunuch sighed, turned and walked inside.

Immediately, Liu Ruyue followed behind the eunuch and entered the Palace of Compassion.

As soon as she entered the door, she crawled on the ground and began to cry.

The Empress Dowager heard someone crying in the house, she hurried over, but saw Liu Ruyue crawling on the ground, she asked someone to help her up and asked: "You are not in Shufangzhai, what are you doing here?"

Liu Ruyue guessed that Yuhuatian had already found out the matter and was not hiding it from the queen mother, so she told the whole process of how she bribed outsiders to transport the pills into the palace, mixed them with honey and let Zhu Houzhao take them.

After listening to the Queen Mother, her face was ashen, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Yu Huatian had also stood at the door a long time ago. After listening to Liu Ruyue's narration, his heart was filled with sympathy at first, and then a strong killing intent.

"Queen Dowager, the concubine knows that this matter is harmful to His Majesty, but the concubine is really powerless, and please ask the queen mother to bypass our family's life!"

After Liu Ruyue finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily to the Queen Mother a few more times.

Now it is no longer a matter of her staying in the palace. At this juncture, the most important thing is to save her life.

"Eunuch Yu, how is your investigation going?"

"When you go back to the queen mother, what I investigated is basically the same as what the empress said, except that this pill was bought from a lama outside. Unfortunately, when I arrived, the lama had already run away."

"At last this incident did not cause any serious disaster. I know that Zhao'er is not that kind of person. Since you have the heart to confess your mistakes in front of Ai's family, Ai's family will forgive you. However, death crimes can be circumvented, but life crimes are hard to forgive. You can accept it." Is the Ai family punishing you?"

Liu Ruyue kowtowed again and said: "The concubine is willing, but I will never dare again in this life."

The queen mother nodded and said: "In that case, the Ai family promised to release your family members, so you can stay in the palace and go to the East Garden of the Harem to repent for yourself!"

As soon as Liu Ruyue heard that the queen mother had thrown her into the cold palace again, she didn't feel any pain anymore, bypassing her family was what she expected.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness!"

"Eunuch Yu, you did a good job on this matter. After the Aijia is over, I want to praise you in front of Zhao'er. You take her to the East Garden of the Harem and arrange a room for her. Say it is the Aijia's will. Let her go and repent!"

Yu Huatian cupped his hands, and led Liu Ruyue out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Hahahaha!"

When Liu Ruyue came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she looked up to the sky and burst out laughing.

Soon, Yu Huatian touched her acupuncture points, but he immediately realized that Liu Ruyue had lost her mind.
Looking at her state of insanity, Yu Huatian couldn't help touching his head. He was thinking, will he become like this one day in the future? ?

His Majesty has almost recovered, and the matter of the southern tour will be put on the agenda immediately.
