Chapter 122 I Am Here to Pay My Respects to the Queen Mother

Mrs. Qin's face turned pale and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Qin Zhilan, who was beaten in pain, obviously heard the news and struggled even harder: "Mm! Mm--"

Let me go! Let me go!

No, no, the regent can't bring people to search the uncle's house. Why would he do that?

Even if he is the regent, he has no right to search the uncle's house without the queen mother and the emperor's order.

He is overstepping his authority and taking revenge!

Princess Pingyao saw her struggling pitifully, shook her head and raised her hand to signal them to stop: "Since the uncle's house is going to be searched, I will show mercy and spare Qin Zhilan."

As soon as the voice fell, the rattan whip stopped, but Qin Zhilan was still pressed tightly on the spring stool and couldn't get away. Her face was pale, and her head and face were covered with cold sweat. She looked extremely embarrassed.

Princess Pingyao ignored them for the time being, turned back to the edge of the bed, and watched the doctor apply a layer of plaster on Qin Yumo's back and began to massage to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Qin Yumo gritted his teeth and buried his face in the pillow, not wanting Princess Pingyao to see him grimacing in pain.

But whether it hurts or not can be seen from the body's reaction, Princess Pingyao is not blind.

"Please bear it, my husband." The doctor didn't know if he was worried that Princess Pingyao would lose her temper, so he took the initiative to explain, "Massage requires more force, otherwise it is useless."

Princess Pingyao said calmly: "A grown man can't stand this little pain? Just massage, no need to say more."

The doctor was relieved when he heard this, and then he felt relieved to massage.

Qin Yumo didn't speak throughout the whole process, concentrating on enduring the pain, and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the princess would say he was not a man.

After treating Qin Yumo's injuries, the doctor's forehead also oozes a little sweat. Princess Pingyao ordered people to give him a reward. The doctor refused again and again, but he could not refuse, so he had to accept it, and then respectfully left.

"Are you Qin family members good at committing suicide?" Princess Pingyao walked to a chair and sat down, raised one leg and put it on the edge of the bed, with a queen's attitude, "From the queen mother to your father, and then to Qin Yanshu, none of them are smart."

Qin Yumo didn't say anything. Seeing Princess Pingyao put one leg in front of her, she stood up silently and pinched her calf.

Seeing this, Princess Pingyao looked strange: "What are you doing?"

Qin Yumo raised his eyes and looked at her: "Serving the princess."

"You are injured."

"It's okay." Qin Yumo lowered his eyes, "I'm injured in my back, it doesn't affect my hands."

Princess Pingyao stared at him steadily, and after a moment, she raised her lips and smiled: "Qin Yumo, even if all the Qin family members died, it would not implicate you. With me here, no one can touch you."

Qin Yumo was puzzled: "I'm not worried about myself."

"Then why are you so diligent?"

Qin Yumo pursed his lips: "Your Highness put your legs here, I thought..."

Princess Pingyao frowned: "No matter how ruthless I am, I won't torment you, an injured person. Just lie down obediently and wait for the medicine to penetrate into you. Don't move around."

After that, she stood up and walked out: "Rest at home for two days, and when the Qin family's affairs are dealt with, you can go to court again."

Qin Yumo watched her leave, silently retracted his gaze, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, what kind of real man should be in Princess Pingyao's mind?

Is he as powerful as the regent?

…

Ji Yucang seized 160,000 taels of gold and more than 1 million taels of silver in the uncle's mansion, as well as four letters of conspiracy against the regent, involving two civil officials and generals above the third rank, three fourth rank officials, three fifth rank military officials, and their respective followers.

However, Ji Yucang did not punish him for conspiracy to rebel, but kept the letters, and on the spot charged him with "corruption and abuse of power, huge amount", and threw all the Qin family members into jail.

Qin Guojiu shouted angrily: "What right does the regent have to search the palace? You are just a sycophant who controls the government. I want to see the queen mother! I want to see the emperor!"

Ji Yucang waved his hand and said coldly: "Take them away."

The heavy imperial guards took everyone in Qin's mansion, regardless of Qin Guojiu's roar and abuse, and took them to the prison one by one, and carried boxes of valuable things such as gold, silver, jade, calligraphy and paintings that had not yet been counted into the palace.

Princess Pingyao stood in the distance and watched for a long time, with a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, and turned to mount her horse.

"Take Madam Qin and her daughter to the prison and hand them over to the regent." She ordered, and rode straight to the palace.

Shou'an Palace had been silent for a long time, and even the New Year's Day was cold and deserted, like a cold palace.

When Princess Pingyao and her people arrived at Shou'an, the Queen Mother was drinking tea. After the confinement, the Queen Mother's treatment was obviously not as good as before. Even the tea sent by the inner court was no longer this year's new tea.

The palace gate opened, and Princess Pingyao walked into the palace gate like a leisurely stroll, and went straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom: "I come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother leaned lazily in front of the couch. Seeing her sudden arrival, her eyelids suddenly jumped, and all the nerves in her body were tense: "What are you doing here?"

Princess Pingyao smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother looks very nervous. Did she have a premonition of something bad?"

The Queen Mother's pupils shrank suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Pingyao, what do you want to do?"

"Didn't I just say that I came here specially to pay my respects to the Queen Mother?" Princess Pingyao smiled nonchalantly and sat down next to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother has been resting for these days. Is she in good health?"

The Queen Mother held the teacup in her hand, staring at her coldly.

Princess Pingyao looked at her quietly and found that the queen mother had become visibly haggard these days. The exquisite makeup she used to wear every time she appeared in front of people was gone, the pearl and jade hairpin on her head was gone, and even the clothes she wore were no longer exquisite and gorgeous.

Sitting in front of her at this time was an ordinary old woman. Except that her skin was whiter than that of ordinary people, she was no different from an ordinary old woman.

"I used to think that I had to deal with my enemies myself, but today I suddenly found that as long as the enemies ended up in a miserable end, no matter who killed them, it would make people feel extremely happy." Princess Pingyao looked at the queen mother with a smile, "When the queen mother killed my mother, did you think you were the winner?"

The queen mother's face changed a little bit: "What did you say?"
