Chapter 155 Twenty Boards
Chapter 155 Twenty Boards
Mo Qingcheng is relatively speechless. This matter has nothing to do with him. Obviously, Li Meiren was fine when she left her palace yesterday, and there were so many people present, why no one spoke for her.
"Empress dowager, I don't know anything about this matter. What's the crime?"
Mo Qingcheng is too honest. The Empress Dowager is now angry that she excuses herself like this. Most people will say that she has not done such a thing, and she will generally not admit it when she is interrogated by others.
"No? How dare you dare to fight against your family? Come on, give me 20 dozen boards first. Empress Dowager Zhuang was originally angry. At this time, when she heard Mo Qingcheng's words, she was even more angry and wanted to deal with her immediately.
This empress dowager is too unreasonable. She was directly tortured before she asked what happened. It seems that Li Meiren has added fuel and jealousy in front of the empress dowager.
Mo Qingcheng has always been spoiled by He Liancheng and Shen Muchen. He usually dares to shout directly with the emperor. After seeing the empress dowager, she can't stop her character, and she will hit the board as soon as she comes up.
"Empress dowager, the women of the people are wronged!" At this moment, Mo Qingcheng doesn't know what to say. After all, the Empress Dowager has lost a grandson and is angry. Whatever she says, it doesn't do anything. Maybe she will add fuel to the fire.
"Hmm, it's unfair! Even if the mourning family wrongs the concubines of the whole harem, they will not wrong you. The Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't give Mo Qingcheng any chance to speak, so she let several bodyguards drag Mo Qingcheng down. Originally, she planned to turn a blind eye to Mo Qingcheng for Chen's sake, but now Mo Qingcheng actually pays attention to the emperor, so she can't help herself.
Everyone on the spot was immediately dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? He was dragged out before being interrogated. It was estimated that it was enough for Mo Qingcheng to be framed by 20 boards. I don't know if he would be executed today. After all, the emperor's first child was framed to death.
There is nothing Mo Qingcheng can do. After all, the Empress Dowager is not in front of her. No matter what she says, it's a waste of saliva. Come on, let the appointment survive. The ancient palace was so impersonal. You can imagine what kind of struggle she should face in the future.
The sudden silence of Mo Qingcheng made the Empress Dowager Zhuang and others a little unaccustomed, and at the beginning of the punishment, Mo Qingcheng screamed twice in front of him, and kept biting the corners of his mouth without making a sound. This made the Empress Dowager slightly change her opinion about her. This girl should have been too straight to stop her mouth just now. Let's teach her a lesson this time.
However, as soon as she heard Li Meiren crying in her arms, Empress Dowager Zhuang felt some pity for her little grandson. This good child was said to have been trampled on by Mo Qingcheng. Let's see if she doesn't deal with her well.
Yan'er has been struggling since the beginning, but she saw the firmness in Mo Qingcheng's eyes and the eyes thrown at her not to act rashly. Yan'er knew that Mo Qingcheng meant, "Don't let one more innocent person be injured." Yan'er had to look at Mo Qingcheng being beaten to death with tears, but today she found that her wife was so strong that she had been clenching her teeth and not shouting, so Yan'er had to admire Mo Qingcheng again.
When the twenty boards passed, Mo Qingcheng's whole body seemed to be as weak as fished out of the water. There were blood marks on her buttocks, and the people who watched it were scared. If she hadn't been a martial artist, I'm afraid she would have killed her before these 20 boards were finished.
The bodyguard dragged Mo Qingcheng into the palace and threw it on the ground. Yan'er rushed forward and hugged Mo Qingcheng's head. Her tears slid down Mo Qingcheng's cheek, which woke up Mo Qingcheng who had fainted.
"Yan'er, don't cry, I didn't cry!" Mo Qingcheng said tremblingly, and Yan Er wiped a handful of tears and suppressed tears.
Mo Qingcheng did not have much strength at this time. Yan Er wanted to return Mo Qingcheng with justice, so she put down Mo Qingcheng's head and knocked three times.
"Empress dowager, our master is a good person. Beauty Li's child has nothing to do with the master. Please find out the truth and return my master's innocence!"
Yan'er said and burst into tears again. She was feeling wronged for Mo Qingcheng.
This good lady was protected by the general, but she had to bear the bullying of so many people for the general to come to the palace. The wife did not complain at all. She was forced out by the empress dowager and did not resist. The wife must have endured humiliation for the sake of the general. How could she How can it be so stupid? It makes Yaner feel a little sad.
"Oh? Do you mean that Li Meiren's child was not harmed by your master? However, in the eyes of the mourning family, the emperor has always loved Mo Qingcheng. Originally, the mourning family had promised the emperor Zhaomo Qingcheng to be a concubine, but she poisoned Li Meiren because she was afraid that Li Meiren took away the emperor's favor after pregnant with the dragon son. Do you think the mourning family thinks it is wrong? The Empress Dowager Zhuang's words were unreasonable. Yan'er was speechless for a moment, and she was unable to refute the Empress Dowager's words.
"Well, if you are a slave who wants to protect your master, you can't have enough evidence, and the mourning family is not groundless to believe that your master has harmed Li Meiren's stomach, but many people say that Li Meiren and your master had conflicts yesterday. This is such an obvious result. I believe you should also Is it clear?"
When Yan'er heard that the empress dowager was already convicting Mo Qingcheng, she felt that she wanted to defend Mo Qingcheng. Before she could speak, she felt that someone had caught her arm. She looked down at her hand. It turned out that it was Mo Qingcheng holding her arm to remind her not to act rashly.
Yan'er didn't say anything. Mo Qingcheng got up and knelt again. Her forehead was full of sweat, and her consciousness was already very blurred.
"Empress dowager, can you listen to Qingcheng say a word?" Mo Qingcheng lowered his head so that others could not see her expression clearly. He could only see her stubborn lips tightly squeezed, as if she were suffering great pain.
"You said!" Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't stop others from defending herself, so she said so.
"I don't have any relationship with Li Meiren, and it is impossible for me to provoke Li Meiren. Yesterday, Li Meiren went to my temple to talk about some parents. These my servants and Li Meiren's servants can testify. There are indeed some contradictions in the end, Li Meiren. She was so mean that she wanted to fight against me. At that time, many people stopped her and naturally had a little conflict. Then I gently pushed her. She sat on the ground by herself, but then she was helped up and nothing happened. If such a thing happened yesterday afternoon, then Li Mei Why didn't people ask the emperor to come to me yesterday to plead guilty, but had to wait until a day later? This means that Li Meiren went out of my palace yesterday and had nothing to do with me, and today's incident has nothing to do with me.
Mo Qingcheng endured the pain and said everything. She also concealed the fact that Yaner pulled Li Meiren and said that she pushed Li Meiren herself.
As soon as she finished her words, the people present were a little surprised why she lied to Mo Qingcheng. According to the logic of Mo Qingcheng, Li Meiren's zombie child did not have anything to do with Mo Qingcheng, but why did she hide Yan'er's story about Li Meiren?
In fact, from the wisdom of a modern man in Mo Qingcheng, the so-called miscre not necessarily have a reaction at that time. Some people do have to wait for a period of time before they have misatization symptoms, so Mo Qingcheng mistakenly thought that Li Meiren was indeed an accident in his palace, and also pretended to excuse himself. In addition, in case there is no time to make trouble and involve Yaner again.
As Mo Qingcheng thought before, at least she is a concubine or a person Shen Muchen likes. If Li Meiren's matter really happened because of her, then her punishment will be smaller. If she wants to punish Yaner, I'm afraid she will live her life.
"Well, if as you said, and Li Meiren's child didn't have it until this morning, there is indeed a big difference between the time." Empress Dowager Zhuang had no idea for a moment. Anyway, her intention was to punish the person who killed Li Meiren's child, not Mo Qingcheng. She also told the emperor before that as long as someone could give birth to a child for the emperor, no matter what that person was like, as long as the emperor liked it.
And the reason why he just punished Mo Qingcheng was completely because he was confused. He thought that it was really caused by Mo Qingcheng, a charming thing, as Li Meiren said, but now, Mo Qingcheng may have really been wronged.
"Empress dowager, I didn't lie to you. I don't know why I had a misforth today, but yesterday I had a conflict with this bad woman, Mo Qingcheng, not because of someone, the empress dowager... You must make the decision for me."
Li Meiren cried again in the arms of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, but what she said now was very different from the previous one, and she had to make the Empress Dowager Zhuang serious.
"Beauty Li, you reported to someone before that Mo Qingcheng framed your prince, but now it's ambiguous. What's going on? Are you deliberately trying to blame Mo Qingcheng or are you playing sad family?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang's face was very ugly. After all, she just showed that she completely trusted Li Meiren and said so many affirmative words in front of so many people. Now she was fooled by Li Meiren and suddenly felt fooled.
"Don't be angry with the empress dowager, my concubine... I am sure that I am the concubine who framed Mo Qingcheng, and my concubine swears." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was angry, Li Meiren didn't know when she began to bet.
