I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

"Dong dong dong"!

Outside the palace gate, Fu Yushuo beat the drum very loudly.

She is indeed a stunning beauty. Even with an angry look on her face, her posture of waving her arms and beating the drum hard is absolutely beautiful!

A beauty that combines gentleness and strength!

Whether you look at it from near or far, it is a beautiful enjoyment.

Dieyi, who was standing next to her, had a pretty face with a hint of anger. Her dark hair, dark purple headband and light purple skirt fluttered in the gentle autumn breeze, which was indescribably beautiful.

It can be said that just looking at the two beauties, Fu Yushuo and Dieyi, was an incomparable enjoyment for the common people.

It’s a visual feast!

The opposite of beauty is ugliness.

Zhao's mother, who was screaming hysterically at the side, was definitely ruining the mood like a madman!

Mother Zhao was desperately trying to rush forward... to get her drumstick back, while she was still shouting:

"My drumsticks, my drumsticks!"

"It was me who beat the drum today! You want to snatch this too? You from the Southwest Mu Mansion are really taking advantage of your power to bully others!"

Zhao Shuyuan was almost on the verge of collapse.

He hugged his mother tightly and refused to let go even when she slapped the back of her hands until they turned red.

Zhao Shuyuan pleaded bitterly, "Mom, what on earth are you trying to do? Can we stop beating the drum? Let's go home. Your son will take you home."

After saying that, he wanted to take his mother to the carriage.

How could Zhao's mother agree?

She got angry and slapped her son on the arm, saying angrily:

"Assholes, they forced me to kneel down and kowtow, grabbing my hair and banging my head against the ground. Didn't you see that my forehead was broken and bleeding?"

"How can you let it go after beating the Emperor's master's wife, the Emperor's master's widow?"

"I have to ask the Emperor to help me and bring them to justice!"

Zhao Shuyuan was going crazy.

He was just a small official in the Ministry of Revenue, and he could not even see the emperor on weekdays. Although his father was the emperor's teacher and could see the emperor every day, he had been dead for sixteen years.

It’s been sixteen years!

It has been so long that Emperor Jingde might have even forgotten what his father looked like.

Even though Emperor Jingde would personally come to burn incense and offer sacrifices on his father's death anniversary every year, that was done by officials from the Ministry of Rites, not by Emperor Jingde himself.

Zhao Shuyuan didn't understand why his mother was so confident and sure that the emperor would protect her?

"Mom, please wake up. You were the one who started the trouble today. You are the one who committed the crime of insubordination..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao's mother hit her son's arm hard again and yelled like crazy:

"You unfilial son, you have gone crazy for a vixen actor, haven't you? In your eyes, that actor is always right and mother is wrong, right?"

Hearing that even now his mother still called him "actor" in front of him, Zhao Shuyuan's heart was completely broken.

He didn't need to look at Dieyi's expression to know that he would never be able to see Dieyi again in this life.

No chance!

Zhao Shuyuan believed that Dieyi had a good impression of him, and even if it was not love at first sight, she was willing to slowly develop feelings with him.

Now, my mother has intervened and our relationship has been completely severed!

He hates it so much!

For a moment, I couldn't control my emotions and blurted out:

"Yes, it's all mother's fault!"

"If you hadn't been so self-righteous and looked down on this industry and that industry, how could my son's love and good marriage have been ruined by you?!"

Zhao’s mother: ???

His eyes widened in shock.

Her son had been very well behaved since he was young, he always listened to her and respected her. Now, for an actor, he actually yelled at her and blamed her?

When she came to her senses, Zhao's mother was so angry that she slapped her son hard!

There was a "pop" sound.

A five-finger mark swelled up on my son’s fair cheek!

Zhao's mother doted on her son so much that she had never been willing to touch him since he was a child. This was the first time that she was so angry and slapped him with all her strength.

First time!

Mother Zhao was furious and said, "You unfilial son, you dare to disobey your mother again and again for an actor! Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"

"Get out of here!"

After saying that, a burst of brute force erupted from Zhao's mother's body, and she pushed her son to the ground.

Then, like a strong cow, Zhao's mother rushed towards Fu Yushu again, vowing to take back the drumstick and strike the Dengwen drum again...

Upon seeing this, the palace guards lined up in a row and protected Fu Yushu behind them like a wall.

Just as Zhao's mother was making a fuss, the palace gate opened and a team of Jinyiwei came out, led by Gao Ni.

When Fu Yushu saw Gao Ni coming out, he immediately stopped beating the drum.

When Zhao's mother saw this, she took the opportunity to snatch the drumstick from Fu Yusu's hand and started beating the drum again.

It was as if she wanted to show it to the people coming out of the palace - it was she who was beating the drum today, not Fu Yushu!

Gao Ni took a quick glance and immediately asked loudly, "Who is knocking on the drum to file a complaint with the emperor today?"

Fu Yushu stepped forward and said respectfully, "It's me, Princess Zhenbian, who wants to sue Madam Zhao for wantonly insulting my sister-in-law, Princess Dieyi."

At this time, Zhao's mother hurriedly came over with a drumstick and shouted:

"You are wrong. I was the first one to go to court today. I was also the first one to file a complaint. She is just the defendant!"

"I want to sue the Princess of Zhenbian and that actor for teaming up to beat me. My lord, look at the wound on my forehead, it's broken and bleeding!"

"It hurts!"

Gao Ni listened and smiled at Zhao's mother, "Madam Zhao is right. Whoever knocks the drum first will be the plaintiff today, and the emperor should accept his case."

Fu Yushu wanted to refute immediately.

But Gao Ni winked at Fu Yushu quietly, signaling her not to speak.

After getting the eye hint, although Fu Yushu was very confused, she believed in Gao Ni and said nothing more.

Mother Zhao was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "This gentleman is right, that's exactly the point."

Hey, why didn’t Zhao’s mother call him “Mr. Gao” but just “this lord”?

This brings us to Zhao's mother's life as a widow - she lived in seclusion and had been out of touch with society for a long time. As a widow, she had never seen the famous people around the emperor in recent years.

In other words, she had only heard of Gao Ni, but did not recognize his face.

Otherwise, her legs would be shaking with fear at this moment. Everyone knows that the brighter Gao Ni's smile, the more likely he is to cheat people.

Sure enough, Gao Ni smiled and nodded, then ordered his subordinates: "Qingchuan, get on the nail board!"

Nail board?

Zhao's mother was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a rule for beating the drum to file a complaint - if you want to file a complaint with the emperor, you must first roll on the nail board and lose half your life!

Just when Zhao's mother was feeling nervous, several Jinyiwei came carrying a huge nail board.

It’s really huge, as big as a bed!

"Mrs. Zhao, start rolling." Gao Ni glanced at Zhao's mother and laughed loudly, "Rolling over and rolling back will be considered successful."

Zhao’s mother: ???

When I saw those sharp nails, I was so scared that my legs went weak.

"I, I..." After a long while, no one knew what Zhao's mother wanted to say.

At this time, Zhao Shuyuan ran up, hugged his mother, and cried, "Mom, let's stop this farce today. Your son will take you home. Please."

Mother Zhao was frightened by the nail board and began to have second thoughts of backing out.

Gao Ni laughed and said, "Lord Zhao, beating the drum is no child's play. How can you just beat it when you want and withdraw it when you want? What is the emperor? A three-year-old child? Are you playing like this?"

What this means is that this nail board has to roll away.

This time, not only did Zhao's mother's legs become weak, but she also began to tremble violently.

Seeing his mother like this, Zhao Shuyuan hardened his heart and walked directly to the nail board and said:

"Mother, if you insist on filing a complaint with the emperor today and refuse to listen to my repeated advice, then your son will 'give up half his life' to do it for you."

"But, from now on, I hope mother will respect herself and stop interfering in my private life!"

Hope she respects herself?

After hearing these words and the expressions used, Zhao's mother's heart almost stopped!

Her son actually hated her so much?

Hate her?

Just for an actor?

Thinking of this, Zhao's mother suddenly felt a heartache. The pain was so severe that she covered her chest with her hands and her face became distorted.

After Zhao Shuyuan finished speaking, he gently closed his eyes and pounced on the nail board...

Unexpectedly, Gao Ni grabbed his shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is indeed a filial son, but this rolling nail board cannot be replaced. Otherwise, it will be invalid."

The implication is that it's useless to leave, it's up to Zhao's mother to take over!

When Zhao's mother heard this, she trembled even more violently.

"Mrs. Zhao, please come in." Gao Ni said, and winked at Qingchuan.

Qingchuan understood and immediately called four Jinyiwei. Two of them lifted up Zhao's mother's legs, and two of them lifted up Zhao's mother's shoulders and carried her onto the nail board.

Finally, the four of them let go at the same time, and Zhao's mother fell onto the huge nail board.

Countless nails pierced through the skin and penetrated into the flesh.

What a severe pain!

Mother Zhao cried out in pain.

"what……"

"what……"

Like a pig being slaughtered, Zhao's mother's screams reached the sky.

"Roll quickly, roll quickly. Yes, roll like this." Gao Ni stood in front of the nail board and gave orders loudly.

Mother Zhao endured the pain and rolled tremblingly, finally reaching the edge. After rolling to the edge, Mother Zhao hurriedly rolled back.

With a grunt, it rolled back.

Unexpectedly, Gao Ni spoke up at this time: "Mrs. Zhao, you haven't rolled to the edge yet. You can't take shortcuts like this. You have to roll to the bottom again."

Zhao's mother: ...

Has she already rolled back?

Have to go back?

There is no choice but to follow the request...

As a result, she rolled two or three more times than normal!

By the time she had rolled over completely, her clothes and pants were covered in blood, and she was breathing more out than in, and was dying.

At this time, Gao Ni winked at Qingchuan.

Qingchuan understood and immediately turned back to the palace gate and said to the eunuch waiting inside: "Little eunuch, you can go and read the decree."

The young eunuch smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

After saying this, the young eunuch adjusted his hat, patted his clothes, and then walked out of the palace with a team of eunuchs in a heroic and confident manner.

He first bowed to Gao Ni with a smile, and then came to Fu Yushu and Zhao's mother.

Seeing the blood all over Zhao's mother, the young eunuch sighed inwardly. It's true that you should never offend the people of Gao Ni's party, otherwise you will die without knowing how.

After muttering inwardly, the young eunuch withdrew his gaze, raised his head and chest, and announced loudly:

"The Emperor has issued an order to pardon Princess Zhenbian for her frail health and Madam Zhao for her old age. No need to roll on the nail board. I decree this."

Zhao’s mother: ???

So, she had completely... left in vain?

Damn it, why doesn't this dog eunuch walk faster? !

If this dog eunuch could run a few steps, she wouldn't have to roll on the nail board and suffer this torture!

Mother Zhao didn't pass out from rolling on the nail board, but after hearing about the young eunuch's pardon, she was so angry that she passed out!

But he didn't faint for long before the Jinyiwei scooped up a bucket of water and splashed it on him to wake him up.

When Zhao's mother woke up again and opened her eyes, she saw another group of eunuchs walking out of the palace gate. Leading them was the chief eunuch around Emperor Jingde, Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi held the bright yellow imperial edict in both hands and strode up to Fu Yusu and Zhao's mother.

He nodded and smiled at Gao Ni first, then smiled at Fu Yushu and said, "Princess Zhenbian and Princess, please kneel down and listen to my order."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yushu and Dieyi immediately lifted their skirts and knelt on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Dezi looked at Zhao's mother, who was lying on the ground, and said coldly, "Madam Zhao, please kneel down and listen to my order."

Zhao's mother, lying on the ground: ...

Her body was covered with nail holes and she was bleeding from the pain. How could she kneel and move?

If she had known earlier that beating the drum to file a complaint to the emperor would be so painful, she would never have beaten the drum even if she was beaten to death!

no way!

But things had come to this point and she had no way to back down. She had to stand up and kneel down with the help of her son, enduring the severe pain.

This movement caused her face to turn pale with pain, like a dying person.

After finally kneeling, Xiao Dezi turned to the crowd and announced loudly:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims... Madam Zhao, the widow of Zhao Zitang, has committed the crime of insubordination and maliciously slandered and insulted the current princess. According to the laws of this dynasty..."

"Strip him of his third-rank imperial title, beat him with a hundred canes, shave his head and become a monk, and banish him from the capital. Send him to a temple in the bitter cold of the northeast, where he must kowtow to the Buddha every day to atone for his sins!"

"His son will be demoted three ranks and transferred to the northwest. I decree this!"

Hearing this imperial decree, Zhao's mother almost lost her temper and immediately yelled:

"I have struck the drum to report the case, but the emperor has not even opened the court to hear the case. How come he has sentenced me? I do not accept the punishment. I do not accept the punishment...."

How could she possibly be convinced?

Without even a trial, they just convicted her!

Even her son was demoted!

Her son's official position was not high to begin with, and now he is completely at the bottom!

What's worse is that she was exiled to the northeast, while her son went to the northwest. From then on, she and her son were separated and could never see each other again!

Oh my god!

So, Zhao's mother yelled at the top of her lungs!

He screamed that he wanted to see the emperor and have him try him in court...

Zhao Shuyuan, however, looked ashen, raised his hands high, and said in a crisp and clear voice: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, your humble servant, accept the order."

"No, no, son... don't accept the order..."

Zhao's mother wanted to pull her son's arm, but as soon as she rolled over the nail board, she was in so much pain that she had no strength left and fell to the ground.

Gao Ni laughed and said, "Madam Zhao, don't you know that anyone who dares to openly disobey the order will be killed without mercy?"

Zhao’s mother: ???

Shut your mouth quickly.

At this time, Xiao Dezi said again:

"Madam Zhao, before you are exiled to the northeastern frontier, you must do one more thing - kneel down and kowtow to Princess Dieyi a thousand times. Each time you kowtow, loudly apologize until Princess Dieyi is satisfied."

"In addition, please ask Madam Zhao to write a thousand letters of apology by hand and post them on every main road and city gate in the capital. Remember to write them by hand and do not allow others to write for you."

"Everything must be done within one month."

After hearing this, Zhao’s mother’s eyes went dark and she fainted!

Zhao Shuyuan ignored his mother and immediately knelt down in front of Dieyi, saying with a pale face: "Princess, I... I am really ashamed of you. I hope you will be happy in the future... for the rest of your life."

Find a good in-law family, marry a good man, and a good mother-in-law!

Live a happy life.

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
