Chapter 172 The punishment of the Empress Dowager

After the Empress Dowager left, the concubines all over the room were relieved and hurriedly kowtowed and retreated. Their faces showed different expressions, some retreated slowly, and some looked up at the inner room with a hesitant expression, as if they wanted to stay and go in to find out how Yao was hurt. Her bloody face just now was very scary.

The emperor hasn't been out for so long. It is rare for those concubines to see the emperor once, and some of them have not even seen the emperor for more than half a year. Taking this opportunity, the smart person knew that he would go back early to prepare some supplements and send them to Yuyao Palace in person. If the emperor spoils Yao so much, he will definitely guard her in her palace. In this way, you can not only see the emperor openly, but also leave a good image for the emperor.

The concubines who wanted to enter the back room to visit were stopped by Grandpa Jin. They stretched out their heads and looked at the carved doors and windows, hoping to see the emperor, but when they saw that Grandpa Jin sank his face and snorted, they knew that they could not get in, so they had to stamp their feet and were unwilling to leave.

After cleaning Mo Ziyao's wound, the Empress Dowager came in and looked at Mo Ziyao's bloody forehead and asked, "Is it serious? Won't it leave scars in the future?"

When Mo Ziyao saw the empress dowager, she felt that the wound on her forehead was getting more and more painful. She knew that the person in front of her was the person in front of her, but she did not dare to have any resentment. He quickly got up and wanted to salute, but his body was held down by Ruan Lingzheng.

At this time, Dr. Hu said, "For good, it's just that the porcelain piece was scratched when it flew up, and it's okay. The scars will gradually fade over time, but I dare not say whether it can recover as before. But I will do my best."

Ruan Lingzheng held Mo Ziyao's body tightly and frowned, "What should I do? I order you to use the best medicine to remove the scar on Yao's forehead. Otherwise, I will kill you."

Dr. Hu was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said, "Yes. "Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager looked at this scene and her eyebrows moved, and suddenly smiled, "The emperor is really trying to worry about the face of Concubine Yao." Then he looked at Mo Ziyao and said, "Look how much the emperor loves you."

Mo Ziyao pulled up her lips and forced a smile with a pale smile. The Empress Dowager seemed to have other words. She meant that she wanted to tell Mo Ziyao that the emperor spoiled her so much, but she just liked her beautiful face and young body.

Is that so? Mo Ziyao couldn't help turning her head and looking at Ruan Lingzheng, staring straight at his dark eyes, in which a broken face was reflection. She reached out and gently touched the wound and smiled, "My concubine was not very beautiful, but now she looks like this. It's really difficult to see anyone again in the future."

Ruan Lingzheng took Mo Ziyao's hand, smiled softly, and said in a joking tone, "I will let the imperial doctors treat you well. Isn't it just a small scar? It will be as intact in a few days. Yaoer, you are peerless and beautiful. I don't know who in the world can compare with you?

Mo Ziyao suddenly felt bitter after hearing this. It turned out that he cared about it. But he still smiled and said, "Isn't it that the emperor's concubine?"

The Empress Dowager said, "Concubine Yao is too worried. There are countless imperial doctors in the palace who can always remove your scars. Fortunately, it was injured on the forehead. If it really can't be removed, you can also leave bangs to cover it, and it's okay.

Mo Ziyao bit her lips and nodded gently, and lowered her eyes in thought, "What the Empress Dowager said."

The Empress Dowager looked at Mo Ziyao with kind eyes and said, "Concubine Yao, the poisonous bird's nest is indeed wronged to you, but the mourning family can't figure out that you and Zeng's Qing Zhaoyi are sisters. How can she design it for you?"

Mo Ziyao hurriedly said, "May be a misunderstanding. Qing Zhaoyi is not such a person."

The Empress Dowager frowned, "What Qing Zhaoyi, how can she match a woman like a self-injured emperor with a snake and a scorpion in her heart? How can such a person stay in the world? The mourning family has abolished her Zhaoyi's name and ordered her to die.

The Empress Dowager said plainly, but Mo Ziyao and Ruan Lingzheng were surprised and said in unison, "What? Give it to death?"

"Yes." The Empress Dowager is still light, which is not as simple as killing a concubine, but as killing an ant.

"Alas, after all, my family is old and I don't know people clearly, which makes this kind of person into the palace, which causes disaster. Although Yaofei is her sister, fortunately, you are gentle and kind. With you by the emperor's side, you can rest assured.

Mo Ziyao sweated coldly behind her and felt that the Empress Dowager's words in front of her were not to praise her, but a strong warning, telling her to act carefully, otherwise her end would not be better than Gu Qinger.

Qing'er died like this? For a moment, Mo Ziyao was a little confused. Although she hated her and hated her, she came from the same place. She did not die in her own hands, but was given to death by the Empress Dowager without any room for manoeuvre. Although she is now the emperor's favorite concubine, it is only a blink of an eye from favor to loss of favor. In front of the empress dowager and the emperor, she was still nothing, so she couldn't help but feel sad.

Just as Mo Ziyao was in a state of confusion, she suddenly saw Ruan Lingzheng suddenly stand up, with anxiety in her eyes, and asked in surprise, "Empress do you really give Qing Zhaoyi to death?"

The Empress Dowager didn't know why Ruan Lingzheng suddenly became so excited. She looked at him and said, "Yes, does the emperor think she shouldn't die?"

Mo Ziyao was stunned and looked at Ruan Lingzheng in surprise. She clenched her hands under her sleeves and stared at the changing look on his face for a moment.

Ruan Lingzheng changed his expression several times, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Although she is extremely guilty, she is not guilty to death. After all, he and I have been pregnant with the dragon heir..." After saying that, he turned away with a calm face and did not like the empress dowager. He directly turned around and strode away without even looking back.

"Your Majesty..." Mo Ziyao shouted, only felt dull and painful, and her eyes felt astringent. Looking at his fading back, her heart was like a knife.

The Empress Dowager sighed, came forward and patted Mo Ziyao's back, and only said, "Let him go. He is the emperor, do you understand?"

Let him go, yes, since you have said so as the empress dowager, what can my little concubine say? Understand, what do you know? Do you understand his mood, or do you want to understand why he did this? It is really the most affectionate of the emperor's family, especially the emperor.

"Actually, the emperor is also a person who cares about his old feelings." The Empress Dowager's words were more like a sharp knife, which pierced Mo Ziyao's heart, and she didn't even have the strength to shout. But he still had to swallow his tears back into his stomach and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager said so."

With that, Mo Ziyao got up to salute and was ready to leave, but she heard the empress dowager suddenly cry and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. I have something to ask you."

Mo Ziyao's body was shocked for no reason, and her tone seemed to be wrong. I don't know what she wants to ask, is it a question of children, or...

Did not dare to think much, she restrained her mind and said, "The Empress Dowager, if I know, I will know it."

After a while, I felt that she came forward and said in a cold voice, "Princes Yao, you are not small, how dare you break into the Xilin Palace!"

Mo Ziyao was stunned and finally knelt down. The Empress Dowager is angry!" Keep your head down. I didn't expect that this is what the Empress Dowager asked. Empress Xi, the emperor's biological mother, and the empress dowager...

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly tightened, "The Empress Dowager is so angry, isn't there something shady between her and Empress Xi? And she was afraid that I would inadvertently uncover all this? But why didn't she come to question me earlier and have to wait until today?" Unexpectedly, I began to wonder. What on earth is there between them? Or, it's something that even the emperor doesn't know.

Although most people in the palace did not know that she was framed and mistakenly entered the Xilin Palace that day, the empress dowager, as the lord of the harem must have investigated this matter. It was just a small matter, but she was so careful. Why Xilin Palace is a forbidden place in the palace, unless there is some secret hidden there, she is afraid that people will know.

If this is the case, why didn't you directly blame me on that day? Could it be that she was afraid that she asked me to take good care of Gu's mother and son the other day, so she didn't bear the attack? Is that so?

At this time, the Empress Dowager's deep and cold voice sounded above her head: "Do you know anything?"

Sure enough, she couldn't help asking. Mo Ziyao replied, "My concubine was designed that day, strayed into the Xilin Palace, and was locked in. When I was eager to find an exit, I accidentally saw... see..."

"What did you see?"

"I saw a portrait. The person in the painting... should be the owner of Xilin Palace."

"Oh? Have you seen the portrait of Xifei? The Empress Dowager frowned and stopped asking. Presumably, she has understood everything.

After a while silent, he suddenly asked, "What did the emperor say?"

Sure enough, the emperor's attitude towards Princess Xi is the topic she wants to know most.

"The emperor was very angry when he knew about this and warned his concubine that he didn't have to talk nonsense no matter whether he saw or found it."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face was slightly better, but she still snorted coldly, "Although you have no intention to enter the palace, but if you break into the forbidden place, the mourning family can't give you without any punishment. There have been a lot of things that have happened to your concubine Yao recently. I feel sorry for you, and you should really be clean! From tomorrow, you can move to the Buddhist Temple behind Tairen Palace and help your family copy the Buddhist scriptures for a year!"

"Abruptly asked me to copy the Buddhist scriptures? What does the Empress Dowager mean? At this time, it was very unreasonable to ask me to break into the Xilin Palace." But now I have to say, "Yes, my concubine remember."

In this way, the Empress Dowager hummed again and took someone out.

When the Empress Dowager left without shouting, Mo Ziyao had to bow her head and kneel. After a long time, Yunlan came in and saw Mo Ziyao kneeling on the ground, with a pale face and a gauze tied on her head. He came over and held her hand and shouted, "Mother, are you all right..."

Mo Ziyao smiled unconsciously. How many eyeliners are there in the palace, otherwise how could the Empress Dowager know her every move so clearly?

Speaking of the wound on her forehead, Mo Ziyao couldn't help thinking of the words of the Empress Dowager and Ruan Lingzheng. Is it really just my face that he cares about? If it is true, Mo Ziyao laughed at the bottom of her heart, and her heart gradually became cold.
