Chapter 48 Xiaosun as a Confession

The empress dowager frowned, "This palace is a place of rules, how can it be chaotic? If a concubine who is lower than your Concubine Mei calls you Liang, would you be happy?"

Liang is Concubine Mei's surname!

Concubine Mei also knew that the Empress Dowager was an extremely well-mannered person, so she didn't dare to refute anymore, instead she scolded Mrs. Linglong, "You don't have to be nervous, you can call me what you call her in the manor now, how can you be out of control?"

Mrs. Linglong looked taught, and said humbly: "Yes, I will keep it in mind."

The queen said to Eunuch Sun: "Go and bring Xiaosun, the girl next to Xia Zian. If her injury is not healed, bring her here."

"Yes!" Eunuch Sun replied.

Prime Minister Xia thought that even if the girl was brought here, but he was here, the girl would not dare to talk nonsense, so he let Eunuch Sun go.

After Eunuch Sun left, he let out a long sigh and said, "No matter what happens, it's all my fault, and I'm willing to take the blame."

This demonstrates his responsible attitude.

The queen didn't buy it, and said in a cold voice: "This matter, whose fault should be whose fault it is, the wrong person will bear it. If the prime minister makes a mistake, this palace will definitely not tolerate it. If Yuan Shi instigates it, I The palace will definitely punish Yuan Shi severely."

Prime Minister Xia said: "Yes, I am willing to be punished."

Zi'an was outside the hall, listening to all these conversations, feeling extremely ironic in his heart.

Everything is the mother and her fault, how innocent they are!

Being the prime minister of the court, to be so shameless really refreshed her three views.

I really don't understand why Yuan Shi married him back then. Although he was in a high position, he didn't have the bearing of a man at all, and he didn't have the heart of a general. In addition to the blessing of the blessed ancestors, it is pure luck.

Eunuch Sun came soon with Xiaosun, who was actually unable to get out of bed and walk, and had to rely on two maids to help him in.

Xiao Sun saw Zi'an outside, and was about to ask a question, but Zi'an raised his hand on his lips, telling her to keep quiet.

Xiao Sun understood, bowed his head and went in with the two maids.

The empress dowager had never seen Xiaosun before, and she didn't know that Xiaosun entered the palace. When she saw a girl covered in injuries, and her injuries were horrific, she couldn't help but asked angrily, "What's going on? This girl can't look more than ten years old. Three or four years old, who made the cruel move?"

Mrs. Linglong didn't care at all and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this girl is serving Zi'an, but because she made a mistake, she was taken down by the housekeeper and beaten up."

There are girls beatings in every family here, there must be some in the palace, and the attacks are much more vicious. The day she went to the palace to greet Concubine Mei, she saw Concubine Mei ordered someone to beat a palace maid. There is no air to enter.

Moreover, she heard that the Queen's side is even more severe, beating and scolding at every turn is a trivial matter, and if it is serious, death is also a common thing.

However, Mrs. Linglong didn't know that the empress dowager didn't know about the things that the empress and concubine Mei did. At that time, she thought that she only knew superficial medical skills and wanted to make meritorious service, so the empress dowager ordered her to be beaten into the violence room.

When Concubine Mei heard what Mrs. Linglong said, she couldn't help cursing inwardly: He is a shallow person who doesn't know how to measure himself. Isn't it courting death to say these things in front of the empress dowager?

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's expression turned ugly when she heard Mrs. Linglong's indifferent attitude, "What's wrong with this? You want to be beaten like this."

Prime Minister Xia poked Mrs. Linglong with her elbow, and Mrs. Linglong knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly explained: "When you go back to the empress dowager, it was not the concubine who ordered the beating. If you hit me, I have already punished the housekeeper."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiaosun, saw that her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was very wronged and pitiful. She thought that the beating was wronged.

Xiao Sun was supported by the court lady and knelt on the ground. How could the Empress Dowager bear the heart when she saw the scars all over her body? Quickly frowned and said: "Help her, don't kneel."

Xiaosun looked at the Empress Dowager weakly, his legs were so frightened by the empress dowager's aura that his legs gave way, and he almost knelt down again, and said indiscriminately, "Slave, servant, see the Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager looked at the face that had lost its original color and became bloodless, she shook her head and sighed, "Come on, Aijia just asks you a few words, and then you can go back."

Xiaosun let out a groan, and tried to stand up on his own, supporting his body as much as possible, "Yes, the empress dowager."

The empress dowager looked at her, and couldn't bear to ask, so she said to the empress: "You ask, hurry up."

The empress had already fallen asleep, stood up and bowed to the empress dowager: "Yes!"

After sitting down, he immediately asked: "You are dedicated to serving Xia Zian, aren't you? Is your wife Yuan popular in the mansion? How is she?"

Just as Xiaosun was about to answer, he heard Prime Minister Xia cough. Xiaosun subconsciously glanced at Prime Minister Xia. Seeing his cold eyes, he stopped talking in fright. He didn't dare to look at the queen, so he just lowered his head and muttered. For a long time, I couldn't say a word.

The queen gave a strange laugh, "What's the matter? Don't you dare to say it? If you have something to say, just say it in front of the queen mother and this palace. You are not spreading rumors, so why can't you say it?"

Xiao Sun glanced at Prime Minister Xia and Mrs. Linglong again, sweating from nervousness. During the days when she was with Zi'an, she was bullied by Mrs. Linglong and Prime Minister Xia for a long time, and she developed psychological fear, even though she knew that she could speak out now. , but couldn't open his mouth, he could only falter and say: "Slave... Slave..."

Zi'an was a little nervous when she heard it outside. Xiao Sun was a very timid child, and she was seriously injured. If she was under too much psychological pressure, she would faint.

Seeing this, Concubine Mei yelled angrily: "What are you hesitating for? In front of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, just say what you want."

Concubine Mei originally saw that Xiaosun was cowardly and timid, but now she dared not speak, almost fainted, if she shouted a few words angrily, she would definitely not dare to say a word.

However, after she shouted angrily, Xiao Sun raised his head slowly instead, remembering that when he was arrested in the mansion, he thought that he would die for sure. He had no complaints then, and he should have no regrets now.

Thinking of the oppression that Madam and Miss have suffered all the year round, she couldn't bear it any longer, held back her crying and trembling and said: "The empress dowager, the empress empress, the madam is the best person, and so is the young miss. This servant thinks the best in the world." People are Madam and Miss!"

The empress originally asked her about Yuan's character and conduct, but Xiao Sun only said that she was very good, she didn't know how to describe it, but it made the empress dowager feel sincere.

Seeing that the girl was pitiful, the Empress Dowager said: "Forget it, don't ask her, just take her down."

"Empress Dowager," Xiaosun broke free from the support of the maid, knelt down with a plop, raised his pale face and cried, "Miss regretting the marriage is a last resort, and if the prime minister didn't threaten her with divorce, she wouldn't." Agree to this marriage, because the young lady said that once she gets married, the lady will definitely die, so the young lady has to regret the marriage."

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Xia's face was as dark as an iron pot, and he lost his temper immediately regardless of the presence of the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Your meal is too light."
