Chapter 352: She came to beg for mercy?
The princess was really scared now, so she could only lower her face and kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong. Twenty strokes of the cane. Your Majesty, are you going to beat my sister to death?"
Xie Yu looked at the crying princess with a frown on his face, but his expression was obviously relaxed a little.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Wu immediately said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has realized her mistake. Do you remember when you were a child, you made a mistake and the Empress Dowager wanted to punish you by making you copy scriptures. The eldest princess knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for you. Although the eldest princess is a little willful, she has you, her brother, in her heart. Twenty strokes of the cane are unbearable for the eldest princess. Please have mercy, Your Majesty."
Xie Yu recalled that when he was a child, although his sister was very naughty, she was really good to him.
She has protected him time and time again, and he still remembers the relationship they had as siblings.
But in recent years, his sister has been too promiscuous, and he will not be cold to her.
This time, the incident became known to everyone in Kyoto overnight.
It became a laughing stock among the people, and the dignity of the royal family was completely destroyed.
The Queen Mother saw that Xie Yu's expression had changed slightly, and she sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Your Majesty, you two siblings are the closest people to your mother in this world. This time, Your Majesty, please forgive Huan'er again. If she does it again next time, your mother will not let Huan'er off easily."
The Queen Mother immediately gave the eldest princess a look, and the eldest princess no longer cared about her face and dignity, and knelt down at Xie Yu's feet.
She was crying and snotting, not acting like a princess at all.
"Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong. I promise you, there won't be a next time, and I will never cause anyone to die again. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
The Queen Mother, Nanny Wu, and the eldest princess took turns pleading for mercy and surrendering.
Xie Yu did have the idea of letting the eldest princess go.
Just when Xie Yu was about to speak, a eunuch's announcement came from outside the door.
"The Queen has arrived"
Lin Junxue walked in with Danzhen and Qiaoxin.
She only took a look at the scene in the palace and then looked away.
It looks really wonderful
Lin Junxue greets
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, pays respects to your mother."
The moment Xie Yu saw Lin Junxue, his face looked better and his voice became softer unconsciously.
"The Queen is here, come and sit next to me"
Xie Yu's blatant preference caused the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess in the palace to change their expressions slightly.
The eldest princess was even more angry, and her eyes were as poisonous as she looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting next to Xie Yu.
She is the most glorious and noble princess, but she is being laughed at by the bitch Lin Junxue.
Lin Junxue sat next to Xie Yu, looking like she knew nothing, and asked carefully
"Your Majesty, Mother, what happened?"
The events of today's morning court session have not yet reached the harem, so Queen Lin Junxue naturally has to pretend that she knows nothing.
The Queen Mother didn't want Lin Junxue to see the princess's joke, and she tried to cover it up.
"Queen, it's no big deal. Huan'er made a small mistake and the Emperor is angry. Queen, please try to persuade the Emperor. Huan'er also knows she was wrong."
The Queen Mother tried to easily cover up the matter with just a few words.
Lin Junxue thought to herself that this Queen Mother was truly the champion of palace fighting.
Obviously, it was a big event known to everyone in Kyoto, but in the mouth of the empress dowager, it seemed like a trivial matter.
Confusing concepts and making a big deal out of a small matter, this is a really good trick.
He even wanted to drag her down with him and ask for mercy together. This is a really good plan.
If she is asked to plead for mercy, then I must plead for mercy to the princess.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu and said softly, "Your Majesty, if the princess made a small mistake, please forgive her this time for the sake of our mother."
As the princess watched Lin Junxue pleading for her, she felt even more resentful.
Why should she kneel here in such an embarrassing situation and rely on Lin Junxue to plead for her?
The Queen Mother and Aunt Wu were delighted. The Queen was such a fool. She knew nothing and was begging for mercy.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue who was begging for mercy without knowing anything. Not only was he not angry, but he felt that she was kind-hearted.
Xie Yu looked indifferent, with anger flashing in his eyes.
"Today, at the morning court, the Censorate jointly submitted a petition to me, asking me to severely punish the Princess..."
When Xie Yu finished speaking, Lin Junxue was silent with a bit of shock on her face.
Then, she looked at the Queen Mother and Aunt Wu with an embarrassed expression.
"The princess has gone too far this time. Your Majesty, maybe the princess knows she is wrong. If she is beaten with twenty sticks, her body may not be able to withstand it. Your Majesty should give her a lighter punishment."
Xie Yu's expression turned cold
The eyes of the Queen Mother, Nanny Wu, and the eldest princess brightened a little.
Next second
The three people who were happy just now couldn't laugh anymore, and their faces turned stiff in an instant.
"Otherwise, reduce the number of strokes by five or fifteen. After all, the joint memorial by the Censorate is no small matter. Even if Your Majesty wants to protect the eldest princess, it will be difficult to stop the public from talking if you don't punish her. The people will surely accuse Your Majesty of partiality. Your Majesty, for the sake of your mother, reduce the number of strokes by five or fifteen and then confine the eldest princess to house arrest for half a year. This can be considered as an explanation to the people."
Before Xie Yu could say anything, the eldest princess who was kneeling on the ground stood up angrily.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Junxue who was sitting there like a shrew.
"You, what did you say? Fifteen strokes of the cane, are you begging for mercy or are you trying to harm me? As expected, Queen, you have no good intentions."
The Queen Mother said, "Huan'er, shut up."
"Mother, I have said nothing wrong. The Queen..."
Xie Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the ungrateful princess with a gloomy look.
Lin Junxue showed a look of grievance and helplessness on her face, but said nothing.
Seeing this, Xie Yu felt even more sympathetic towards Lin Junxue's understanding.
Jun'er is a queen
His sister dared to be so arrogant towards the Queen Jun'er in front of him. Who knows how rampant she must be behind his back?
The Queen Mother and Nanny Wu looked at each other, fearing that the Princess might speak without restraint.
Aunt Wu wanted to step out and smooth things over.
Unfortunately, Lin Junxue will not give her this opportunity
Lin Junxue spoke first, "Your Majesty, I was the one who said too much."
Xie Yu slams the table
"What are you talking about? You said the Queen, plead for her. Since she doesn't appreciate it, well, I will teach her a lesson this time. Come, drag the princess away. Beat her with twenty fists in the yard. Gao Cheng, drag her away."
The princess opened her eyes wide, her face full of horror.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am your biological sister. You treat me like this, do you want to kill me? You can't hit me, Mother, please save me, Aunt Wu, please save me."
