In the Legend of Zhen Huan, Huanbi’s rebirth begins with reporting on Zhen Huan

Chapter 40: Nanny pleads guilty and Concubine Qi is punished

After hearing what Aunt Zhuxi said, the Emperor passed Su Peisheng and Concubine Qi and walked towards the Queen Mother's room in the main hall of Shoukang Palace.

Entering the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the nanny on the ground was tied and kneeling on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state.

Magistrate Zhang Yuan lowered his head and waited for the Emperor and Queen Mother to ask questions.

The Emperor approached the Queen Mother's bed and asked, "Empress Dowager, how are you?"

The Queen Mother patted the Emperor's hand comfortingly: "It's nothing serious. Emperor, first ask what this nanny on the ground did."

The emperor looked at the nanny with sharp eyes.

Grandma's mouth was gagged with a rag and she couldn't speak. Struggling and making some whimpering sounds.

The little maid on the side stepped forward and removed the rag from the nanny's mouth.

The nanny kept kowtowing on the ground: "Please, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please tell me that since I entered the Shoukang Palace, I have treated my fourth brother with all my heart."

"I don't know what Huanbi's intentions are. He tied up this slave without saying a word."

"Mother Queen Mother, you know that Brother Si is getting better day by day under the care of my slave."

When Concubine Qi saw the nanny kowtowing on the ground, she also stepped forward to accuse me: "Huanbi, why are you doing this? Is this what you did when the emperor asked you to be the imperial concubine?"

"What right do you have to kidnap people from Shoukang Palace? If you don't tell me something today? It seems that the Forbidden City can't accommodate you!"

I watched with cold eyes as Concubine Qi bared her teeth and claws in front of me, and finally understood why Concubine Qi was not welcome.

It’s true that I kidnapped the people from Shoukang Palace. When will it be Concubine Qi’s turn to question?

The emperor looked at me, as if waiting for an explanation.

I knelt on the ground and told the story calmly: "Your Majesty, I smelled something when I passed by this nanny."

"It smells like raw nettles. Although the smell is not obvious, when I was young, my family was in a poor family and I learned to starch raw cloth from my mother-in-law."

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the juice from this nettle can cause rashes on people's bodies. I was worried about Brother Si, so I took the initiative and tied up the nanny."

"The specific details still need to be decided by the Emperor, the Queen Mother."

The emperor saw what I said and called the court judge to come forward and inspect it carefully.

The old judge from Zhangyuan blushed, and the nanny was at a loss what to do in front of him.

Concubine Qi was confused at the side: "Huanbi, do you think it's a nettle or a nettle? How do you feel at ease? I'm just a slave. Who gave you the courage?"

After saying that, he knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Huanbi has no eyes for the Queen Mother and is arbitrarily kidnapping people from the Shoukang Palace. I would like to ask the Emperor to punish me so that I can set the record straight."

When I heard what Concubine Qi said, I sneered in my heart. I knelt on the ground and waited for the Emperor, neither humble nor arrogant. The Queen Mother was disappointed.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Qi and said calmly: "Concubine Qi, if you have nothing to do, please go back to Changchun Palace."

Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, her eyes a little anxious: "Your Majesty, the matter in Shoukang Palace has not been settled yet, how can I return to the palace? The Queen is still ill, and I am a concubine in the harem..."

"Okay," the emperor interrupted Concubine Qi's spellcasting: "If you want to stay here, please be quiet."

I saw Judge Zhang's predicament and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

How dare Judge Zhang Yuan dare to smell the smell of the nanny in front of the emperor even though he is alive to this day?

After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, since I am a woman, I must find some reliable nannies to take off her clothes and hand them over to the Zhang Yuan for judgment, so that we can know better."

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the judge of Zhang Yuan whose face was red and he didn't know where to put his hands. He nodded: "Su Peisheng."

Su Peisheng understood and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find some tall and powerful women.

Drag the nanny into the side hall, and after a while, put the clothes in front of Zhang Yuanjian.

From the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Judge Zhang Yuan’s old red face, holding up Grandma’s clothes and comparing them carefully on the tip of his nose.

The innermost item turned out to be a bellyband. Judge Zhang's hands were trembling slightly, and he felt like he couldn't hold it.

"How about Zhang Yuan's judgment?" After waiting for a moment, the emperor spoke.

Zhang Yuanzhang knelt on the ground: "Back to the emperor, it does smell like nettles."

"That can explain it. Fourth Brother just had ordinary wind and cold entering his body and hurting his trachea. When Wei Chen returns to Tai Hospital, someone will send him a prescription."

"Coupled with taking supplements and taking good care of yourself, I think Fourth Brother will be fine in a few days!"

"What about the Queen Mother?"

Magistrate Zhang Yuan knelt on the ground and replied: "The Queen Mother is feeling empty. She may have been worried about Fourth Brother in recent days. She has been worried too much."

"Yes." The emperor nodded, turned to the queen mother and said, "Mother Huang, can you hear me? It's better to take good care of yourself and don't think about those troublesome things."

"Let the people below handle these matters."

After Zhang Yuanjing finished his reply, he returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Huanbi, get up."

The emperor glanced at me, who was still kneeling on the ground, and ordered me to get up. I followed the instructions and stepped aside.

At this time, the nanny also changed her clothes and walked into the room. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise her head.

The emperor said lightly: "Where did the nettle juice on your clothes come from? Huh?"

Grandma knelt on the ground and shivered, unable to speak fully.

"Slave, slave, slave..."

I looked at the nanny kneeling in the middle, and then at Concubine Qi who was anxious to interrupt but was afraid of the emperor's reprimand.

Blessed Blessed said: "Your Majesty, this nanny has been taking care of Fourth Brother, and the wind and cold have entered her body for a long time. I don't think it would take just one or two days to make her condition so serious!"

"It's normal for young children to get sick because they are weak. But Brother Si has been sick for a long time. I think it's because the nanny is not taking good care of him and is careless."

"No matter how young my fourth brother is, he is still a serious master in the palace. He will not tolerate others being so mean."

The emperor looked at the nanny on the ground, "Since you can't explain clearly, let's not say it. Su Peisheng, pull it down and kill it with a cane! You can also show off to the other maids in the palace."

"Know what to do and what not to do!"

When the nanny heard these words, she collapsed on the ground and couldn't help but kneel forward at Concubine Qi's feet, "Your Majesty, please help me, Your Majesty, please save me!"

The emperor and the queen mother both looked at Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi kicked her foot forward: "What kind of slave are you? How dare you come and bite me?"

"You're doing this to your family members by biting and biting like this. Framing a palace concubine is a serious crime against the nine clans."

The nanny knelt on the ground, her eyes instantly lost hope, like a deflated rubber ball, and her hands were unable to slide off Concubine Qi's dress.

After a long time. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed impartially: "This slave confesses his crime. This servant pleads his fault."

"After I served my fourth elder brother, the Queen Mother reduced her expenses. My monthly money has been reduced a lot. There is still a high hall at home, but the expenses are not enough."

"This slave has resentment in her heart, and has no choice but to vent her anger on the infant Fourth Brother."

"Now that the matter has come to an end, I have confessed my crime. I would also like to ask the Emperor to see that I have confessed my crime and not to implicate my family members."

The main hall of Shoukang Palace fell into a long silence. The emperor and the queen mother looked at Concubine Qi with meaningful eyes.

After a while, the emperor announced: "Song, the wet nurse of the fourth elder brother of Shoukang Palace, will be killed with a stick. Su Peisheng will be dragged to the entrance of the main hall of Shoukang Palace to be executed as a warning to others."

The nanny was dragged out of Shoukang Palace with a calm expression and a look of despair.

There were screams outside the palace gate, and the dull sound of sticks falling on the body.

Hearing this voice, Concubine Qi turned pale and said nothing, and bowed, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that there are important matters to be dealt with in Changchun Palace."

"My concubine is going back now."

Concubine Qi turned around to leave, and the emperor's voice sounded from behind Concubine Qi: "Stop!"

"Concubine Qi of Changchun Palace has no words and deeds. She has been living in seclusion in Changchun Palace for half a year. The third elder brother is not allowed to visit her unless ordered to do so."

"In addition, the third elder brother will reduce his salary for half a year as punishment."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she moved unsteadily and fell to the ground.

Before Concubine Qi could speak, the emperor's voice came.

"Su Peisheng, find someone to take Concubine Qi back."

I watched expressionlessly as Concubine Qi was being helped out by the little palace maid. Concubine Qi was so pretentious that the Emperor and the Queen Mother were not stupid.

Although there is no evidence of the Song family's death, and no concubine Qi was bitten, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.

The emperor used this trick well. In order for Concubine Qi to change her fault, she would still have to do something to the third elder brother to be punished.

Although Concubine Qi is sometimes stupid, her love for her son is unquestionable.

I stood beside the emperor, and the queen mother looked at the emperor: "There has always been trouble in the palace, so the Ai family thought that it would be better to ask the Qintian Supervisor to come over and make a calculation, which would calm the Ai family's worries."

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, the Emperor nodded: "Yes, it's not peaceful outside the palace during this time. The epidemic broke out. What the Queen Mother said is reasonable."

"Su Peisheng!"
