The Queen Mother's heart only softened for a moment, then hardened immediately.
Some things have to sacrifice some people, and the person who sacrifices cannot be Yong Bohou, then it can only be Song Yutong.
After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance, so the Queen Mother naturally chose to sacrifice the one who was far away.
The Queen Mother said to the palace maid next to her: "You should go out and have a look now. Since she thinks it is too easy to teach her how to practice manners, let the nanny give her a more difficult one."
"Yes!" The palace maid accepted the order and immediately turned around and walked towards the door, but she secretly felt sad for Song Yutong in her heart.
On the way here, he had already reminded Mrs. Zhongyong to be careful in her words and deeds. Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhongyong would be so restless? This is very helpless.
"The Queen Mother has given orders. Since Mrs. Zhongyong thinks it is easier, she will ask the nanny to change her to one that is more difficult."
The palace maid looked at Song Yutong with a somewhat complicated expression, with some sympathy in it.
Song Yutong saw the worried look in the palace maid's eyes and smiled at her.
The palace maid felt even more helpless when she saw his smiling face. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she turned away and didn't look at her.
The same was true for the nanny, who could only whisper something from the side.
"Mrs. Zhongyong, I think you should go and help the Queen Mother. Otherwise, your leg will be broken today. And the Queen Mother hasn't resorted to any means yet. If this is the case in the past... Hey! Go quickly.
Please give yourself to the Queen Mother!"
There are some things that Grandma Cultivation cannot say, nor should she say, but the words have been brought up to this point, and it is not Song Yutong's own business to listen or not.
"Thank you for your kindness, mama. If you have any tricks, just ask her to come over. If I give up, my surname will not be Song!"
Song Yutong has her own persistence and her own stubbornness.
If she gives in in front of the Queen Mother today, I am afraid that not only will her life not be easy in the future, but she will have to retreat again and again.
Let people step on it into the dust, step on her bottom line and step on her head.
Some dignity will not yield an inch. For example, every cent of China's land must be fought for, and no concession can be given!
No matter how intolerant the mother-in-law was, she was no match for Song Yutong's stubbornness that refused to bow her head.
So he gritted his teeth and spoke to the few maids in the distance.
"Come on, come on to the single-plank bridge."
Song Yutong changed her shoes with flowerpot bottoms, stretched out her hands, put a tea cup on her shoulders and arms, and put half a cup of water in each tea cup.
There is also a bowl on the top of his head, and there is water in the bowl. Song Yutong is asked to walk back and forth on the single-plank bridge 100 times carrying these tea cups and water.
It was really deliberately difficult. It would have been better if we insisted on going back and forth for two or three times.
100 back and forth, not to mention whether the hands will shake, but the arm does not have enough strength to be able to perform 100 back and forth without automatically sagging.
After Song Yutong heard this, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he could not complete such a task.
But he still gritted his teeth and insisted on going to the end. Even if he was whipped or subjected to various punishments, he was unwilling to say a word of concession or admit defeat.
She knew that the Queen Mother's purpose was to make her retreat. Once she gave in, she might not even be able to defend her home.
Three or four hours passed, but Song Yutong had not completed 100 round trips.
Even if you drink the spiritual spring water and your body is much stronger, you can only go back and forth for 90 times at most, which is the limit. Only by maintaining strength in your arms can you hold the tea cup and cup from falling.
Moreover, every step must be taken steadily, without shaking hands, walking on a single-plank bridge, and without looking down.
All the energy was tense in one place, and almost all the attention was focused on one place.
After only about ten rounds, the sweat on my forehead began to fall drop by drop.
After 90 rounds, Song Yutong's clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
Finally, Song Yutong couldn't hold on anymore and fell off the single-plank bridge.
At this time, not only did no one dare to help, but they also whipped her ten times to make her start all over again without even taking a break.
"Mrs. Zhongyong, you really can't hold on. Why go against the Queen Mother? It won't be of much benefit to you. You can't fight against the Queen Mother. Listen to my advice and give in to the Queen Mother."
When the nanny saw how Song Yutong could persevere, she felt heartbroken. She really couldn't stand it.
After trying to persuade Song Yutong for a long time, his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, but Song Yutong was not willing to say a word.
Her face was pale, and there were drops of sweat on her forehead. The hair on her forehead was already wet with sweat.
The whole person looked embarrassed, but he still persisted. He put on the water again, filled the bowl and tea cup with fresh water, wore shoes with flower pot bottoms, and persisted in walking on the single-plank bridge.
In the end, the nanny couldn't persuade her, so she turned around and asked the palace maid to beg the Queen Mother, and then asked the palace maid to go to the nun beside the Queen Mother to plead.
However, the empress dowager avoided seeing her and was so hard-hearted that the upbringing mother could neither talk nor persuade her. She was very tired.
So I quickly asked people to find a way to see if they could invite the third princess to intercede?
Little did he know that the third princess was also locked outside the gate of Cining Palace at this moment, and was very anxious.
The Queen Mother had long expected that if the third princess came, she would definitely intervene and let her go. Song Yutong was not allowed to beat the mandarin ducks with a stick.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager was smart enough to announce that she was sick and tired very early when she brought Song Yutong back to Cining Palace.
In order not to spread the disease to others, the door of Cining Palace was tightly closed and never opened.
Mrs. Zhongyong happened to stay inside to take care of her illness, and treated her with medicinal food, thus avoiding the need for a doctor.
This plan was so seamless that it stopped everyone talking.
The third princess couldn't knock on the door of Cining Palace, and there was nothing she could do, so she didn't want to worry about anything else and prepared to go find her father again.
Whether this matter is big or small, the third princess has always believed that the imperial grandmother is at most embarrassing Mrs. Zhongyong and will not do anything excessive.
But I heard the news coming from inside, saying that Mrs. Zhongyong had been tortured to death by the Empress, and she was afraid that she might die.
The third princess didn't dare to ignore this matter, so she hurriedly led the people and ran towards the imperial study room.
He also hurriedly sent someone to Tai Hospital to ask for an imperial doctor, in order to prevent Mrs. Zhongyong from doing anything bad in Cining Palace.
The third princess's people hadn't arrived at the imperial study room yet. They just passed by the imperial garden and happened to run into Ji Chengan, who was being led by Cheng Hanyan.
With the four princes around, Cheng Hanyan could travel everywhere in the palace, and even when he was running wild here, there would be someone to help him.
