Chapter 373: Willing to Be Punished
The Queen Mother glanced at her and then looked at the two people kneeling in the middle of the ground.
"Ms. Cao, Taiwei Zhou, what are you..."
She narrowed her eyes and her face darkened. There was no need to elaborate on the situation between the two of them. You could guess what was going on with just one glance. What's going on.
An imperceptible smile flashed across Lu Wanying's lips: "Aunt——"
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, this is all my fault." Liang Huan took a few steps closer, full of guilt.
"Liang Eying!" Gao Qian's face was condensed.
It is a scolding and a warning.
Liang Huan looked at him calmly and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, I have been worried since I raised the second prince. On the one hand, it is very difficult to take care of two children at the same time, and on the other hand, I am afraid that I will not take care of them. I didn’t realize that there were some omissions in teaching the second prince’s studies.”
“After thinking about it, I wanted to ask Mr. Cao and Taiwei Zhou for advice, so I summoned them together, but I didn’t want to because of my concubine. After a while, this absurd misunderstanding occurred.”
"What are you talking about?" Lu Wanying's eyes widened, shocked and angry.
Liang Huan looked as usual and faced the Queen Mother: "I wonder if the Queen Mother has heard rumors in the palace that I treat the second prince harshly. I have been working hard all day long, but I have been slandered like this. It is true that I have been wronged. But three people can become a tiger. I can't just let it go."
Lu Wan responded angrily and smiled: "Liang Eying, are you referring to a deer as a horse?"
Liang Huan raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "What? I have no choice but to call a deer a horse. I can’t control what others say, so I can only find the reason within myself.” Please tell me, as for Captain Zhou, as far as I know, he was the one who taught the crown prince and the second prince in the past. I think he has rich experience, so I wanted to wait for an opportunity to ask him if he is willing to continue to teach the second prince. I had no choice but to make this move. Who would have thought? Such a scene happened.”
Lu Wanying pointed at Liang Huan and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? You!"
Liang Huan completely ignored her and bowed his head to the Queen Mother and Gao Qian.
“Now is a time of internal and external troubles. If Zhou Situ and others knew about it, it would cause uproar in the city, which would create a rift between the emperor and his ministers. Moreover, it would not provide a source of protection for those with evil intentions. If there is a chance to fan the evil wind and light up the will-o'-the-wisp, then I'm afraid my sin will be even greater."
Liang Huan lowered her eyes and her heart was beating fast. This statement was full of flaws, and the Queen Mother may not be willing to believe it. , but Gao Qian will not fail to understand the meaning of her words.
Lu Wanying was about to open her mouth, but was stopped by the Queen Mother's look. She looked at Liang Huan again and said nothing, but slowly walked towards Cao Ruomi who was kneeling on the ground.
"Is that so?"
She spoke slowly, with a sinister voice.
Cao Ruomi's face turned pale. He did not relax at all because Liang Huan excused him. Instead, there was despair in his eyes.
She was silent for a long time, lowering her head in humiliation, and her heart gradually became cold.
Suddenly, Cao Ruomi smiled softly, and then bowed to the ground: "I thank Liang Eying for restoring my innocence."
The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Yun who was aside: "Although this matter was Liang Eying's fault, Captain Zhou knew the palace rules but still lost his sense of proportion. For the sake of the reputation of the harem, Captain Zhou should not enter the palace in the near future."< br>
Zhou Yun met the Queen Mother's gaze, turned to look at the prostrate man next to him, and then bowed respectfully to Gao Qian: "I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I am willing to be punished."
The Queen Mother did not answer his words and only looked at Liang Huan: "It is true that Eying acted like this-"
Gao Qian suddenly stepped in front of Liang Huan and scolded: "It is really guilty."
He turned around and shouted someone was coming, and immediately a guard quickly approached.
Gao Qian made a sound and pulled out the sword from the guard's waist. The bright blade shone with a cold light, which was dazzling in the dim room.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, wondering how he was going to punish Liang Eying.
After all, whether you are letting criminals out of the cold palace privately or meeting with foreign ministers privately, you are violating palace rules. If it is as serious as this, you may be punished with death.
The Queen Mother looked on coldly, taking some time to relax.
Lu Wanying wanted to speak, but was wary of the Queen Mother. He glanced at Liang Huan and said angrily: "Liang Eying, you are really confused!"
After all, don't be shy. Isn't this what you asked for? Let her know life and death, and she must die of good intentions!
Cao Ruomi didn't raise his eyes, just looked at it quietly from the corner of his eye, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
After all, it was because of Lu Xiu that she wanted to help Zhou Yun, but luckily she was still soft-hearted.
Zhou Yun didn't know who set up this situation, but he did feel guilty. If something was wrong, it was wrong, and he never thought about escaping punishment.
"Your Majesty, I -"
Gao Qian glanced at him coldly: "Shut up!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am confused, and I am willing to accept the punishment." Liang Huan lowered his head. Head, tone calm.
Gao Qian became even more angry.
He nodded lightly: "Okay, okay, you are so willing, how can I not help you!"
Everyone is waiting with fear.
No one knows how much the emperor loves Eying, but if he did something like this in public today, he would offend Long Yan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the death penalty.
The air is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Suddenly, Liang Huan's head relaxed, and her long hair fell down like a waterfall. Before she could react, someone heard a low cry, and she saw a strand of long hair falling down. It fell right at her feet.
She raised her eyes and looked over in confusion. Gao Qian looked at the Queen Mother coldly: "I wonder if the Queen Mother thinks this kūn punishment is good?"
It was a great shame and humiliation for Eying, who was favored by her parents and favored by her parents, to have her hair cut off by the emperor and be punished in public.
The Queen Mother looked at Liang Huan with a hint of coolness in her eyes: "I hope Eying will learn from the experience and never do such things that violate the palace rules in the future."
< br>Liang Huan lowered her eyes: "Yes, I will remember your teachings."
The Queen Mother snorted softly and walked downstairs.
Lu Wanying looked here, then at the stairs, and finally gritted his teeth and chased after the Queen Mother.
The building suddenly fell into dead silence.
Gao Qian fixedly looked at the man who was still polite, waved his hand fiercely, and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang, shocking Liang Huan to the point where he and his heart trembled.
Liang Huan straightened up.
Gao Qian's frowned brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, but his eyes were so cold and emotionless that for a moment, people didn't dare to look directly at him.
He smiled and said: "Liang Han, are you satisfied?"
Liang Huan frowned, her chest hurt badly, she opened her mouth to explain, but swallowed her words back.
Gao Qian glanced at her, tossed his sleeves and left.
Looking at that look, he must be very angry.
The Queen Mother was not walking fast. Lu Wanying caught up with her after a few steps and said anxiously: "Aunt, Liang Huan is obviously telling lies. How can you believe her——"
The Queen Mother turned her face and glanced at her: "How could Yu believe her? It was you who sent someone to summon Yu. It must have been your design, right?"
Lu Wanying was stunned, and really couldn't understand, "Then why, why did you let them go like this? You still let your cousin punish Liang Han?"
"Punishing her is for you, and they, do you think Will she spare them? "
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Wanying with a confused look on her face and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. This trick is far inferior to that one. How can she secure her position in the future?
