048 How do you want me to punish you?
Zhangtai Palace.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng wore a crown on his head and a black crown garment embroidered with a magical mysterious bird.
Sitting upright at the table, holding a brush to correct memorials, the memorials in front of him will never be corrected.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Han will meet you."
Gai Nie entered slowly and reported to Ying Zheng coldly.
If Ying Zheng hadn't known Gai Nie's personality and his paralyzed face, he would have thought Gai Nie was dissatisfied with him.
As soon as he heard that Mr. Han later looked for him in Taigong, Ying Zheng did not ask Gai Nie to communicate with him, but immediately put down his brush and went to the door to greet Empress Dowager Han.
"Meet the Empress Dowager." Ying Zheng went out to give a deep tribute to Empress Dowager Han, holding Empress Dowager Han with one hand, and leading Empress Dowager Han into the palace gate with the other hand.
"Yes." Empress Dowager Han nodded without returning the gift, and followed Ying Zheng's guidance into Zhangtai Palace.
This is not because she has lost her etiquette, but because Ying Zheng herself asked - where is the reason why parents saluted their son in the world?
"Meet Your Majesty."
After paying tribute to Ying Zheng, Concubine Zheng followed the two of them and walked into it.
She noticed that there was a hint of suspicion in Ying Zheng's eyes when he looked at her just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful about following Han Taishang.
Entered Zhangtai Palace.
Because the main hall of Zhangtai Palace is to review memorials, it is not suitable for rest.
So Ying Zheng led Empress Dowager Han into the side hall where there was a soft couch and could take a break for a while.
He helped Empress Dowager Han sit in the upper seat, while he sat in the lower seat, and smiled and said, "How can the Empress Dowager have the time to see me today?"
Since Empress Dowager Han entered Zhangtai Palace, her eyes were scanning everywhere until Ying Zheng asked, but her eyes didn't stop.
"What is the Empress Dowager looking for?" Ying Zheng said curiously.
"Oh nothing." Empress Dowager Han said perfunctorily.
She can't say she is looking for a certain figure.
Empress Dowager Han didn't find Ying Chenghua. She didn't know if Ying Chenghua had been here or not, but she had already sat here with Concubine Zheng and could not continue to drag things on. She had to pretend to take Concubine Zheng and stand up for Ying Fusu. Her eyes stood up.
"I'm here today! I just want to ask Your Majesty! Why should Fusu be confined!"
Ying Zheng frowned.
After he threw his son to Ying Chengqiu, he specifically instructed Zhao Gao and Gai Nie not to report anything about Ying Fusu in the next two days.
Therefore, Ying Zheng didn't know that Ying Fusu was confined to the Dazheng Palace. After hearing what Empress Dowager Han said, Ying Zheng blurted out: "I did not confined to the Fusu."
When Empress Dowager Han heard Ying Zheng's words, she knew that Ying Chengqi had never been there before, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
I come and go without a trace on weekdays, as fast as a ghost, how could I run so slowly today?
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Fusu is being confined?" Concubine Zheng, who was sitting down on the ground, couldn't help but ask, her face full of hope.
"I don't know." Ying Zheng shook his head.
Concubine Zheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and then she became resentful towards Ying Chengqiu.
This man actually lied to me? After a while, I took Fusu to Chang'an Jun Mansion to settle the score with him!
"Please release Fusu!"
Concubine Zheng knelt on the ground and begged, tears falling down.
"Okay! This guy dared to lie to me!" Empress Dowager Han Fengyan was furious and stood up and was about to leave.
Ying Zheng spread his wide robe and sleeves, stopped Empress Dowager Han, and said with a wry smile: "Have you spare, Empress Dowager, what's wrong, you need to explain it clearly."
Then he pulled up Concubine Zheng impatiently and said, "If you have something to say, don't cry."
After settling down two women, Ying Zheng called Gai Nie to enter and asked, "What's wrong with Fusu being confined?"
"I don't know."
"Don't you know?" Ying Zheng was surprised, a little unbelievable, and a little uncomprehensible.
When Zhao Gao was the leader of the seal talisman, he asked Zhao Gao what happened in the palace, and Zhao Gao didn't know anything.
"I don't know." Gai Nie answered again, his tone as before, without any shame.
Looking at Ying Zheng's eyes full of confusion and doubt, Gai Nie also had suspicion in his eyes: "Do you know?"
When doing seals and talismans, do you also have to supervise the affairs of the palace?
The tears on Concubine Zheng's face stopped.
The shock in her heart suppressed her sadness for a moment, and she looked at Gai Nie with a cold and hard face in surprise.
Isn’t Zhao Gao always following His Majesty?
When did someone change?
How dare he keep staring at His Majesty’s eyes when he speaks?
His face was cold and hard. How could he dare to be so bad to His Majesty?
His Majesty's question was not answered, so he did not apologize immediately. Why did he dare to ask His Majesty for his own initiative?
A series of question marks in Concubine Zheng's heart almost swelled her head!
She really didn't understand where Gai Nie got the confidence and dared to treat the First Emperor like this.
Empress Dowager Han looked at Gai Nie suspiciously, wondering in her heart.
Why does this tone look so similar to Cheng Qi? Could it be that Cheng Qi found this person?
Ying Zheng was silent for a few breaths, and then said, "Call Zhao Gao in."
Gai Nie responded: "Vei."
Both of them felt relieved.
Soon, Zhao Gao replaced Gai Nie and stood in front of Ying Zheng with a respectful look on his face.
"What's wrong with Fusu being confined?" Ying Zheng asked the same question to Zhao Gao, who had not recovered from his injuries.
Zhao Gao did not hesitate for a moment and said respectfully: "In the evening of the day before yesterday, Chang'an Jun confines the eldest son of the eldest son in Dazheng Palace and killed the eunuchs who served the eldest son for more than ten years on the spot. He also told the eunuchs to the Dazheng Palace that if the eldest son took a step out of Dazheng Palace, they would kill them all. To this day, the eldest son has not taken a step out of Dazheng Palace."
"I understand, you go down." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"I'm leaving."
Zhao Gao continued to speak respectfully, then faced Ying Zheng, bent down and hunched his back, and took a small step back to leave the side hall.
When he just reported to Ying Zheng about Ying Fusu, Zhao Gao never raised his head throughout the whole process.
"Shan'er, why are your face so bad?" Ying Zheng said to Concubine Zheng, who had become pale at some point.
Concubine Zheng’s name is Zheng Shan.
"Your Majesty, I was frightened when I heard that Chang'an Jun killed Superintendent Zhao who had served Fusu for many years in front of Fusu. Not only did Chang'an Jun confine himself to Fusu for no reason, he also did this evil act in front of Fusu. He should be severely punished!"
"You are very concerned about Fusu, and you even know the surname of the eunuch who served Fusu." Ying Zheng said: "How do you want me to be punished?"
Empress Dowager Han, who had always cared about Ying Chengxiang, heard the words of the First Emperor, but was not in a hurry at this time.
The only empress dowager in Xianyang Palace threw all the weight of her body to the tiger skin covered on the soft couch, and said angrily: "High punishment! Must be severe punishment! This man is rampant! This time he must suffer a great loss and have a long memory! Zheng, you said! I will make the decision for you!"
Concubine Zheng didn't say anything, and tears fell down again.
"Your Majesty is the master of everything, and I dare not speak nonsense. I only hope that Chang'an Jun will not hurt Fusu again."
