LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 122 I’m here to say hello to the Queen Mother
Mrs. Qin's face turned pale and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Qin Zhilan, who was beaten in agony, obviously heard the news and struggled even harder: "Uh-huh! Uh-huh——"
let me go! let me go!
No, no, it's impossible for the regent to lead people to search the uncle's house. Why should he do this?
Even though he was the regent, without the Queen Mother and the Emperor speaking, he had no right to search the uncle's residence without permission.
He is acting on behalf of others, avenging public and private revenge!
Seeing her struggling pitifully, Princess Pingyao shook her head and tutted, raising her hand to signal them to stop: "Since my uncle's house is about to be raided, I will be merciful and spare Qin Zhilan."
After the words fell, the cane whip stopped, but Qin Zhilan was still pinned to the spring bench and unable to break free. Her face was pale, her head and face were covered in cold sweat, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
The eldest princess of Pingyao ignored them for the time being, turned back to the edge of the bed, and watched the imperial doctor apply a layer of plaster on Qin Yumo's back, and began to massage to activate 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 with me, Prince Consort." The imperial doctor didn't know if he was worried about Princess Pingyao losing her temper, so he took the initiative to explain, "The massage is all about using more strength, otherwise it will be useless."
The eldest princess of Pingyao said calmly: "A grown man can't bear this little pain? Just massage it, no need to say anything."
The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he was relieved to massage.
Qin Yumo didn't speak the whole time, concentrating on enduring the pain and not daring to make a sound, for fear that the eldest princess would say that he was not a man.
After Qin Yumo's injury was treated, a little sweat broke out on the forehead of the imperial doctor. Princess Pingyao ordered someone to give him a reward of silver. The imperial doctor refused repeatedly but could not refuse, so he had to accept it, and then respectfully resigned and left.
"Are all of your Qin family good at committing suicide?" Princess Pingyao walked to the side and sat down on a chair. She raised one leg and put it on the edge of the bed, as if she were a condescending queen. "From the Queen Mother to your father to Qin Yanshu, No one is smart."
Qin Yumo didn't say anything. When he saw Princess Pingyao putting one leg in front of him, he straightened up silently and pinched her calf.
The eldest princess of Pingyao looked strange when she saw this: "What are you doing?"
Qin Yumo raised his eyes and looked at her: "Serve the eldest princess."
"You are a casualty."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Yumo lowered his eyes, "I hurt my back, it doesn't affect my hands."
The eldest princess of Pingyao stared at him for a moment, raised her lips and smiled: "Qin Yumo, even if the Qin family is dead, you will not be implicated. As long as I am 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 his legs here, I thought..."
Princess Pingyao frowned: "No matter how ruthless I am, I will not hurt you. Just lie down and wait for the effect of the medicine to penetrate. Don't move any more."
After that, he got up and walked out: "Recuperate at home for two days. When the Qin family's affairs are settled, you can go to court."
Qin Yumo watched her leave and silently looked away. He couldn't help but think about what the real man in Princess Pingyao's heart should be like.
Is the regent as powerful as he is civil and military?
…
Ji Yucang copied out 160,000 taels of gold and more than 1 million taels of silver from the uncle's house. In addition, there were four letters of plotting against the regent, involving two officials and generals of the third rank and above, three officials of the fourth rank, and three officials of the fifth rank. There are three people with military positions and a number of their respective party members.
However, Ji Yucang did not charge him with conspiracy to rebel. Instead, he kept the letter and charged him with "corruption and perversion of the law for a huge amount" on the spot, and sent the entire Qin family to prison.
Uncle Qin shouted angrily: "What right does the regent have to search my uncle's house? You are just a sycophant who controls the government. I want to see the queen mother! I want to see the emperor!"
Ji Yucang raised his hand and said coldly: "Take it away."
The overwhelming imperial guards escorted everyone in the Qin Mansion. Regardless of Uncle Qin's roars and abuses, they were escorted one by one to the prison. They also carried boxes of valuables such as gold, silver, jade, calligraphy and paintings that had not yet been counted. Enter the palace.
The eldest princess of Pingyao stood in the distance and watched for a long time. There was a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, and she turned around and mounted her horse.
"Take Mrs. 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 has been silent for a long time, even on New Year's Day, it is deserted, like a cold palace.
When the eldest princess of Pingyao arrived in Shouan with her people, 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 door opened, and the eldest princess of Pingyao stepped into the palace door like a leisurely stroll, and went straight to the Queen Mother's chamber: "I'm here to say hello to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was lazily leaning on the couch. When she saw her sudden arrival, her eyelids suddenly twitched and her whole body became tense: "What are you doing here?"
Princess Pingyao smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother looks very nervous. Did she have a premonition of something bad happening?"
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 to pay my respects to the Queen Mother?" Princess Pingyao smiled casually and sat down next to the Queen Mother. "The Queen Mother has been resting for the past few days. Is her body fine?"
The Queen Mother held the tea cup in her hand and stared at her coldly.
The eldest princess of Pingyao looked at her quietly and found that the queen mother had become visibly haggard these days. The exquisite makeup she used to put on every time she appeared in front of people was gone, the pearls and green phoenix hairpin on her head were gone, and even the clothes she was wearing were gone. No longer exquisite and gorgeous.
The person 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 so old that she was no different from an ordinary old woman.
"I have always felt that enemies must be dealt with by themselves in order to be happy, but today I suddenly discovered that as long as the enemy ends miserably, no matter whose hands it is, it makes people feel extremely happy." The eldest princess of Pingyao looked at it with a smile. Queen Mother, "When the Queen Mother killed my mother and concubine, did she feel that she was already the winner?"
The Queen Mother's face changed little by little: "What did you say?"
