Chapter 169 The Empress Dowager Was Stabbed
Chapter 169 The Queen Mother was stabbed
Mammy begged for mercy on his behalf: "Princess, this prince is young and energetic after all, and this punishment is too severe."
"There's no need to talk about this anymore, kneel down!" the concubine said angrily and left.
Seeing that the concubine was leaving, grandma couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? The concubine's temperament cannot be aroused. If you have anything to say, please tell her."
There was no regret in Bai Mingyu's eyes or in his heart. His father had not colluded with the enemy at all, so why should he swallow his anger?
He came to the ancestral hall and knelt on the ground, looking at the ranking of his ancestors. Every generation of the Bai family led troops to fight and lived a life on horseback.
But what was their original intention of sending troops? Isn't it that they didn't want to show weakness in front of the enemy? But after winning the battle, they returned to the court and kept showing weakness, and in the end they couldn't even protect their wives?
This kneeling did not allow him to follow the concubine's thoughts and choose to swallow her anger. Instead, he thought about where to investigate his father's case.
In the dead of night, a few crows occasionally flew up from the trees outside the ancestral hall. It was so gloomy that you could feel a chill on your back as you walked on the road.
This tree is also very strange in its growth, with lush branches and leaves. The two trees lean towards the middle, forming a natural arch. Through this small forest, you can reach the ancestral hall.
Shen Zhiyue carried the food box and walked forward without looking back. She was not afraid of people, but ghosts were still a bit scary, especially if she had ghosts in her heart.
She rushed into the ancestral hall and knelt down in front of him: "Why were you punished by the concubine to kneel in the ancestral hall? Are you hungry? I brought you something to eat."
"How did you come?"
"Let me take a look at you. Eat it quickly. This is delicious." Shen Zhiyue stuffed it into his mouth.
Bai Mingyu took a bite and said, "Okay, get out of here quickly. If my mother-in-law sees it, she will punish you too."
How could this mother and son have an overnight feud, and the punishment was so severe? She said pitifully: "Bai Mingyu, it's too dark outside, I was very brave when I came here, you asked me to go back, I'm a little scared, anyway
You’re here now, I’ll be here with you.”
"It's cool here, you go back." Bai Mingyu said forcefully and unreasonably.
Shen Zhiyue's face was serious. He also knew that it was shady here. He had to kneel all night and his knees would not be broken?! No, he would go back with her no matter what.
She pursed her lips and cried: "You are cruel to me."
She knew that this was an ancestral hall and needed silence, so she didn't dare to cry loudly and could only cry softly in aggrieved tone.
Bai Mingyu looked heartbroken. Didn't he know that she was delicate, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the cold.
"Stop crying, it's my fault."
"I came to see you out of kindness, but you treat me like this, and my heart is as cold as the floor." She said aggrievedly.
Bai Mingyu had knelt for so long that his knees were numb. He could only stretch out his arms, pull her into his arms, and lower his head to coax her.
"Yes, yes, I am wrong."
"It's your fault in the first place."
Bai Mingyu coaxed: "Okay, don't cry."
They stayed like this quietly for a long time. Shen Zhiyue's eyes rolled, thinking that if the stalemate continued like this, it would really be dawn.
She scratched her arm and said sleepily: "Bai Mingyu, there are too many mosquitoes here and it's cold. Can we go back?"
Bai Mingyu raised his head and looked at his ancestors. He couldn't wake up. Instead, he felt that the one who was awake was his mother and concubine.
He hugged her and reluctantly stood up. When he calmed down, he picked her up and walked outside.
Shen Zhiyue hugged his neck: "Bai Mingyu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"I have been fighting with my father since I was a child. I have seen your brother who was drinking with you one second and turned into a corpse the next second. Therefore, the soldiers on the battlefield cherish their lives more than anyone else. In the war where my father had an accident, This king did not follow.
At that time, my mother and my father had a big quarrel, and I chose to stay with my mother and concubine. Later, the war was lost, and the court's reinforcements arrived in time, and they barely won. They planned to return to the court, but found out that my father The king colluded with the enemy.
They did not bring my father back for trial, and did not even give him a chance to complain. They ransacked the entire palace with his father's head. Later, the prince interceded for the Bai family and brought me into the palace to study with the prince and princess. The king is afraid of water, yes."
Shen Zhiyue reached out to cover his mouth and listened to the story. It was just a story, but the person telling it was exposing his own scars. She didn't want him to be hurt twice.
"Alien rejection, I know you must have had a hard time during those days. It's all over, and now you have me."
Bai Mingyu looked at her, his eyes twinkling and tears welling up, but his expression was calm and calm, giving the impression that it was no big deal.
Some people are cured by childhood in their lifetime, and some people are cured by childhood in their lifetime.
There are so many unfortunate people, but she just wants him to live happily. Shen Zhiyue put down her palm and pressed her thin lips against his.
Then she hugged his neck, she leaned close to his ear and said: "Let me tell you a secret, you look exactly like my boss who deserves to be beaten. At first, approaching you was really vindictive, but later, you know I have I like you so much."
Bai Mingyu's whole body felt numb and melted after listening to her words. He didn't remember the first half of her sentence, but only the second half.
Walking into the courtyard, he kicked open the room, kissed her lips, and their clothes were scattered on the ground.
One night...
It was getting daylight, and the concubine was sitting on the dressing table. Her mother-in-law was combing her hair. The concubine asked: "Ming Yu is still kneeling there?"
"The young lady went there last night and took people back to the yard."
When the concubine heard this, her face improved a little. She thought that he would kneel all night, feeling sorry for his body, but she also wanted him to let go and not lose his life because of the old prince.
It was impossible for them to compete with the imperial court. If those generals hadn't avoided trouble back then, they might have been able to get the truth by putting pressure on the imperial court. But everyone had their own choice, and she couldn't say anything.
All the grievances can only be bitten into pieces and swallowed by force. As long as she is still alive, the Bai family will not collapse.
"Is there anything coming from the palace?"
Mammy paused while holding the comb: "The maid in the Queen Mother's palace suddenly went crazy and stabbed the Queen Mother. The whole palace was in chaos."
The concubine sneered: "This must be retribution."
"I'm afraid that after this incident, the Chunyang woman's matter will be settled." Mammy reminded.
Those people in the palace deserved their crimes, but the young lady was innocent. Did the concubine really want to watch the young lady die?
The concubine held up her hair with her hands and walked out of the room without saying anything.
royal palace
The Queen Mother's hand was cut open with a dagger. The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and was treating the wound for the Queen Mother. Beside him was the maid who was controlled and went crazy.
"You deserve to die, you deserve to die."
The Queen Mother stared at her: "The Ai family treats you badly, why are you so crazy?"
The maid looked at the sky outside the door: "Have you come to pick me up?"
She suddenly vomited out black blood and died instantly with a smile on her lips. When the imperial doctor saw her, he immediately stepped forward to check her pulse. The imperial doctor looked at the queen mother and shook her head. She was hopeless.
