Chapter 72 My Daughter Can't Be Suffered For Nothing
Qin Zhen left Xiao Yao and entered the Qinzheng Hall.
Xiao Yao stood there for a moment, then suddenly turned around and gave an order to the attendant behind him. Upon hearing this, the attendant quickly ran towards Changle Palace.
So, when Qin Zhen and Xiao Chengye came out of Qinzheng Hall, they saw the queen in plain clothes kneeling at the door of Qinzheng Hall.
Qin Zhen narrowed her eyes, raised her head, and met Xiao Yao's gaze.
Xiao Yao also knelt beside the queen at this time.
Xiao Yao and her looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads.
When Xiao Chengye saw the queen, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire. He opened his mouth and shouted: "You still dare to come?"
The queen knelt on the ground, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs and said: "I am incompetent and can't control my subordinates, so I let them do bad things behind my back. I came here today specifically to apologize."
As soon as Qin Zhen heard this, she understood something in her heart.
Sure enough, the queen turned to glare at Chunhong beside her, and said sternly: "Bastard, it's all your fault!"
Chunhong's cheeks were still swollen, and her eyes were empty and lifeless. After being scolded, she just said mechanically: "Your Majesty, everything is my fault. I can't stand that Concubine Shu always occupying Your Majesty and letting Your Majesty."
I have neglected the empress... Therefore, I want to teach her a lesson. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please spare my life."
The queen was already in tears and cried: "Your Majesty, it is my concubine's fault for not being able to discipline her well. Your Majesty, just punish me. I will never complain at all."
Xiao Yao, who was kneeling aside, spoke at this time: "Father, my mother has already realized her mistake. Please forgive her this time for the sake of your long-term relationship as husband and wife."
"Father, my mother has just recovered from a serious illness, so she has no intention of controlling her servants and allows them to make such a big mistake. My mother is also unaware of this matter, and she is also a victim."
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Chengye and said again: "Please forgive me, Father."
Xiao Chengye frowned and said nothing.
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said coolly: "Your Majesty has just learned about what happened in Changning Palace, and the Queen has brought people to apologize... This news is so fast."
The queen was stunned and subconsciously wanted to see Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao grabbed the queen's hand and said quickly: "I went into the palace today to pay my respects to my mother. I found that this girl Chunhong was sneaky, so I asked the truth about the matter. After I found out, I didn't waste a moment, and immediately
Come to Qinzheng Hall."
Qin Zhen said lightly: "That's a coincidence."
The queen gritted her teeth and glared at Qin Zhen fiercely.
The emperor looked at the queen who was kneeling on the ground, then at Qin Zhen, and finally raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
"Come here!" Xiao Chengye said coldly: "Chunhong deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates. If the subordinates offended the superiors, they would be dragged out and killed with sticks."
Chunhong was stunned. Before she could say a word, someone covered her mouth and dragged her out.
The queen felt a chill on her back and knelt on the ground stiffly, not daring to express her anger.
Xiao Chengye lowered his head and looked at the queen, and said coldly: "Since the queen can't control the maids in the palace, she can't manage the harem even more. From today on, the Phoenix Seal is withdrawn, and Concubine Su will temporarily take over the power of the queen to manage the harem.
."
The queen raised her head sharply: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Yes, the queen must meditate on her own mistakes, restrain her subordinates, and never make such mistakes again." Xiao Yao held the queen's hand and quickly cut off the queen's words.
Xiao Chengye said with a cold face: "Go back."
Xiao Yao supported the queen and led the people out of the Qinzheng Palace.
At the entrance of Qinzheng Hall, the queen stood quietly. After a while, she looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "Are you angry?"
Qin Zhen's face was very expressionless: "Why am I angry?"
"I'm angry that I'm partial." Xiao Chengye said calmly.
"A girl like Chunhong doesn't have that much courage." Xiao Chengye said, "If there wasn't the Queen's acquiescence behind this, she wouldn't dare."
"However, I didn't pursue the case, but just let it go. Zhen Zhen, are you angry that I don't distinguish between black and white and show favoritism?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said in a dull tone: "You are the emperor, and you will do whatever you say."
Xiao Chengye smiled bitterly and said: "I am also angry, and I also want to give Concubine Shu justice, but I can't."
"The queen is the biological mother of the prince. The power of the mother's family is intertwined and affects the whole body. I cannot ignore the overall situation." Xiao Chengye looked at Qin Zhen and said, "Zhen Zhen, please understand me."
Qin Zhen was silent for a while and then said: "It is Concubine Shu who needs to understand you, not me."
Xiao Chengye was stunned for a moment as if he had been slapped.
After a while, he said in a stiff tone: "You seem... very close to Concubine Shu?"
Qin Zhen's heart thumped, knowing that her concern this time was causing chaos and she did many extraordinary things.
Her expression moved slightly, and she only said softly: "During the flower viewing party, Concubine Shu helped me."
"She helped me change my clothes and combed my hair herself. She was very gentle and like a mother."
Qin Zhen lowered her head, smiled, and added: "Perhaps Concubine Shu is from the common people like me. I think she is very kind and different from other empresses in the palace."
Xiao Chengye understood clearly that Qin Zhen had not had a mother since she was a child, so she probably thought of Concubine Shu as her mother.
Furthermore, Concubine Shu came from the common people and was not as arrogant as those palace concubines, which made Qin Zhen feel comfortable.
Xiao Chengye answered after a while: "She is indeed very good."
Qin Zhen: "Then you should be nice to her."
Xiao Chengye stared at her cheek for a moment, and then said: "I will."
That night, it was already past midnight when Qin Zhen returned to Hulong Mansion.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Then, she woke up to a loud roar.
"Zhenzhen, my precious daughter!"
Qin Hong's loud voice came from outside, accompanied by his thumping footsteps, and then he kicked the door open with a bang, and a black shadow appeared in front of the bed.
Qin Zhen opened her eyes fiercely, stood up, and stared at Qin Hong who suddenly appeared.
"I heard that you were beaten, where were you beaten? Let me see?" Qin Hong's eyes were wide open, his face was very close, and he was staring directly at Qin Zhen's face.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath, stepped back a little, and shouted helplessly: "Father..."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here!" Qin Hong continued to look at her face: "Show me where the injury is? Which bitch dares to do something to you, I'll tear her apart!"
Qin Zhen's face was expressionless: "The queen beat her, go and tear her apart!"
"What's wrong with the queen? The queen still tore her apart. Isn't she just a queen..."
Qin Hong's voice was choked and he stared at Qin Zhen: "Who are you talking about?"
Qin Zhen repeated expressionlessly: "Queen."
Qin Hong was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched the faint red mark on her cheek, and said in a deep voice: "Wait."
After that, he turned around and walked out the door.
Qin Zhen was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Enter the palace!" Qin Hong said solemnly: "My daughter cannot be beaten in vain!"
