Chapter 293: Did you take the wrong medicine?
After these words were spoken, Concubine Li felt as if her world was about to fall.
It would be fine if she demoted herself, but why should Luo Qianxue be punished as well?
As far as she knew, although Xue Boyong, the Minister of Justice, was an official of the fourth rank, he was a civil official.
And his son Xue Cheng is even more of a gangster, good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Whether in terms of identity, appearance or status, Xue Cheng is far inferior to Xie Liuzheng.
Luo Qianxue was very happy.
As long as she doesn't marry Xie Liuzheng, she can marry anyone.
At this moment, Luo Qianxue had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
Before leaving, Emperor Jingyang looked at the Queen and said something in her ear.
"Empress, you should be the one making the decisions on the affairs of the harem. I will leave it to you to appease the wife of Duke Rong and calm her down!"
These words are nothing short of shameless.
Obviously, he was the one who listened to Concubine Li and arranged for the imperial guards to capture Madam Cai.
Now that someone has been offended, the blame is pushed onto the queen, asking her to clean up the mess.
This matter has become so serious that gold, silver, jewelry and various rewards are definitely needed to appease people.
Emperor Jingyang's meaning was very clear, which was to let the Queen pay out of her own pocket to settle the matter.
The queen looked at Emperor Jingyang coldly as he left without saying a word.
In short, she was completely disappointed with this man!
Although the whole process was a bit tortuous, Concubine Li and Luo Qianxue were punished.
The Queen looked at Nanny Shen beside her and ordered, "Pass on my order to give Madam Cai the box of East China Sea Night-Shining Pearls, the red gold and kingfisher inlaid lotus, the jadeite Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi, and ten rolls of Jiangnan silk yarn from my treasured storehouse. This is my apology to Madam Cai on behalf of the Emperor."
The Queen's words were very clear. She did not say that she was apologizing, but that she was apologizing on behalf of Emperor Jingyang.
The responsibility lies with Emperor Jingyang, not her.
By the way, it can also let everyone around him see Emperor Jingyang's character and stingy face.
The servants in the palace all lowered their heads, fearing that they would hear something they shouldn't hear.
Madam Cai stopped Nanny Shen who was about to leave and bowed to the Queen.
"I appreciate the Queen's kindness, but I don't want any reward. Today I was able to clear my name thanks to the Queen, the Ninth Princess, and Tang'er and Zheng'er. I am already very satisfied with the outcome and don't dare to ask for anything else."
Mrs. Cai knew very well what Emperor Jingyang was up to. She cursed the man in her heart for being so stingy.
The queen is such a gentle and generous person, it’s really a shame for her to marry him!
It seems that women should be more careful when looking for a man. Even if she is a queen and holds a high position, she may not be happy.
The same is true for men looking for women.
Once again, she was happy that Luo Qianxue was unable to marry her son.
The Queen personally helped her up and wondered, "Madam Cai really doesn't want a reward?"
“No,” Madam Cai pursed her lips slightly, her expression seeming to be hesitant to speak, “Your Majesty, there is something I don’t know whether I should say or not.”
The Queen said, "Concubine Li and her daughter have already left. There are no outsiders here. Madam Cai, please feel free to speak."
"I think that Your Majesty should think more about yourself. It is not easy for us women to save some money. Your Majesty should spend those things on yourself instead of keeping them for others to get benefits."
The queen sighed softly and said helplessly: "Alas, this palace knows it too!"
"It's just that he and I are one, and we prosper together and suffer together. As long as I sit on the throne, I have to fulfill my responsibilities. Even if I don't consider him, I have to consider the reputation of the entire Dongchen royal family and my family."
Madam Cai and the Queen talked for a long time in the palace. Taking advantage of this time, Xie Liuzheng thought about it and decided to ask Luo Qingge out.
The two arrived at the courtyard behind Fengyi Palace. There were lush grasses and beautiful scenery here. It was very quiet and not many people came.
Xie Liuzheng looked at Luo Qingge. The woman in front of him was half a head shorter than him. The sunlight shone on her delicate little face, which was as bright and gentle as jade, and her skin was as white as cream.
He was stunned when he wasn't paying attention!
It was not until Luo Qingge looked up at him that Xie Liuzheng quickly withdrew his gaze.
He coughed lightly and deliberately changed the subject.
"Ninth Princess, thank you for saving my mother today. This prince has always been grateful and does not like to owe favors to others. If you have any requests, just let me know. I will definitely do what I say."
When Luo Qingge heard this, he suddenly remembered what Madam Cai had told him, that Xie Liuzheng was actually just pretending to be a tsundere.
In other words, it means being tough on the outside but getting stronger when facing a stronger opponent.
As long as you don't go against him, he won't bully women. He is a typical person who will give in to soft tactics and will not tolerate tough tactics.
Luo Qingge thought about it and decided to be nicer to him. After all, he was quite pitiful.
"This time I helped Madam Cai for the sake of my third sister-in-law. It's just a small favor, not life-saving."
"You saved me last time, so we're even this time."
Xie Liuzheng looked at Luo Qingge in surprise, and Luo Qingge smiled back at him.
The next second, he said, "Princess Nine, you took the wrong medicine today. Why are you so gentle? Are you possessed by some demon or ghost?"
As he spoke, he started to gesture around Luo Qingge.
"Get away from here, monsters! This is someone else's body. Get away from her quickly."
Luo Qingge: "..."
Luo Qingge: "!!!"
She held her breath in her throat, unable to move it up or down, and soon half of her face turned red.
As expected, she shouldn't be gentle to Xie Liuzheng. He is not a normal person.
She had never seen a man as crazy as him!
Luo Qingge didn't want to bother with Xie Liuzheng anymore. She snorted coldly and turned away.
"I'm not in the mood to appreciate the flowers. You can enjoy it by yourself!"
Xie Liuzheng: "???"
He touched his nose innocently.
It was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere, why was she angry?
However, he felt relieved.
Today's action was not completely without gain. At least he had completely solved the big trouble of Luo Qianxue.
Thinking about the days to come without her bothering him, he felt relaxed.
Ji Yuntang went to Fengyi Palace. She thought that since she had finally made it to the palace, she might as well give the Seventeenth Prince another acupuncture treatment.
The seventeenth prince was very happy when he saw her. He kept hugging her legs and shouting, "Fairy sister-in-law, An'er missed you so much."
However, Ji Yuntang came in a hurry this time and did not bring him any snacks, so he promised to bring him more snacks next time.
After several sessions of acupuncture, the Seventeenth Prince's condition is obviously much better than before. Even his illness has been brought under control and he will not flare up easily!
After two more acupuncture treatments, you will basically be fully recovered!
