Chapter 449: Two Strike Punishments
In addition to being interrupted, Hongli's voice became terribly cold.
Wang Qin hurriedly told the story of what happened outside and tried his best to distance himself from it.
When Hongli heard that it was the eunuch Sanbao again, he immediately frowned.
Last time at Ruyi Pavilion, it was he who ruined his good fortune!
Luoyao's focus was on Ruyi's visit to Xianfu Palace.
"Hai Lan stole the carbon? It happened so quickly."
She thought that after Gao Xiyue slapped Jin Yuyan, no one would help her with advice.
I didn't expect this to happen.
But it's not surprising. After all, Hai Lan lives in Xianfu Palace. Sooner or later, she will be caught.
She tugged at Hongli's sleeve and said in a gentle tone:
"Your Majesty, since this is about the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Xian, it would be better for you to go and take a look."
They were the only high-ranking concubines in the palace, and it would not look good if things turned out like this.
Hongli's face was gloomy. It was these two women again!
The anger that had just been aroused in him now turned into rage.
"Then I'll be back soon."
Thinking that he had just ascended the throne and it would not be a good thing if such a thing happened in the harem, he suppressed his anger and spoke to her softly.
Luo Yao hugged his arm and said, "I want to go too~"
How could she be missing from such a melon-eating event?
Hongli subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was freezing outside and he wanted her to go out and freeze.
But Luo Yao had already stopped him from saying anything and held him tightly, refusing to let go.
After a while of acting coquettishly and cutely, Luo Yao got what she wanted and went out with Hongli.
The eunuchs in charge of carrying the sedan chair outside were already ready. With the light of torches and lanterns, this small area was as bright as day.
Hongli was wearing a cloak and took Luo Yao's hand to take her to the dragon chariot.
Luo Yao hesitated, "Your Majesty, is this a bad thing?"
She, a distinguished person, can also sit here? Isn't that a bit bad?
I say this, but it's just a polite remark.
Hongli exerted force on his wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"What's wrong with that? It's snowing heavily, and you slipped again."
As he said this, he put his arm around her waist and sat on the dragon chariot. Luo Yao took the opportunity to crawl into his cloak and snuggled in his arms.
This behavior of wanting to stick to her anytime and anywhere pleased Hongli to a great extent.
Wang Qin, who was standing by, asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the three treasures..."
How to deal with it?
Now the other party is still being held down by the guards, kneeling in the snow.
Hongli had no expression on his face and said calmly:
"If he dares to make a noise or cause trouble in the Yangxin Palace, he will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
Twenty lashes of the cane would have crippled him if not killed.
This can also be regarded as a warning to others not to think of breaking into the Yangxin Palace for any reason.
"Whoo!"
Wang Qin smiled sinisterly, already knowing the emperor's attitude.
With his petty character, he would definitely try to trip up Sanbao.
It's still the same beating with a stick, but whether it's lighter or heavier depends entirely on the control of the guards carrying out the execution.
There is a lot of room for maneuver.
............................................
The imperial carriage swayed slowly towards Hambokgung Palace.
Hongli looked at the snowflakes slowly falling in the dark night, felt the cold wind blowing from all directions, and the warmth of the person in his arms.
I feel inexplicably at peace.
Luo Yao leaned in his arms, the wind and snow were blocked by his cloak.
The sedan chair was rising and falling slightly, giving her the perfect sleep-inducing feeling, and she was about to fall asleep.
But when we were almost there, she woke us up.
Because the crying and shouting in Xianfu Palace was so loud, it could be heard from far away.
On one side, Rui Xin shouted: Don't let our master kneel on the ground, he will freeze to death.
On one side, Hailan admitted her mistake and begged for mercy in a crying voice.
It sounds like he's pleading for Ruyi.
Ruyi's voice was much plainer, like a narration.
Said: "Moxin, you are not allowed to touch Hailan's clothes."
The tone was as calm as water, and apart from being a little louder, Luo Yao didn't hear any other emotions in it.
You can tell whether a person is in a hurry or not by just listening to his voice.
The anxiety and anger in the tone can be conveyed intuitively.
But Ruyi is a bit...
It's like I'm just going through the motions. I should cooperate with you and do my best to perform.
He should have tried his best. After all, he is usually as quiet as a chrysanthemum, so it is normal that he can't shout out now.
Luo Yao poked her head out from Hongli's arms and asked curiously:
"Your Majesty, what are they doing in there? Can the palace resort to lynching?"
Hongli looked unhappy and said solemnly: "The imperial concubine is becoming more and more bold now."
With a loud shout: "The Emperor has arrived~"
The noise in Xianfu Palace immediately quieted down.
Luo Yao followed Hongli in and the first thing she saw was Rui Xin who had fallen to the ground.
Behind them are Ruyi and Hailan hugging each other.
Rui Xin was originally a palace maid, and the clothes she wore were no different from those of the concubines.
Now he was forced to kneel in the snow for a long time, and his little face had turned red from the cold.
Luo Yao remembered that this was originally A Ruo's role.
Fortunately, she is not with Ruyi now, otherwise she would have suffered a lot.
He immediately pulled Hongli's hand and whispered:
"Your Majesty, can you let Ruixin change her clothes first? Her clothes are all wet and I'm afraid she'll get cold."
Hongli glanced down and saw that it was the palace maid serving Ruyi. He thought that she must have had a good relationship with A Ruo before.
So now when we see each other, we reminisce about our old feelings.
"Okay, take her down."
Hongli didn't take this trivial matter to heart. He glanced at Ruyi and Hailan who were still kneeling in the snow, then pulled Luoyao towards the main hall.
Ruyi's eyes were fixed on the two people's clasped hands.
It’s snowing so heavily, but you’re still walking hand in hand. Aren’t you afraid of the cold?
She was jealous in her heart, but she still helped Hailan up.
She is the weaker party now. I think the emperor should be able to see my fragile heart beneath my strong disguise, right?
Gao Xiyue was standing at the door, and her expression twisted when she saw the two people coming in holding hands.
But he had to pretend to be weak and even coughed twice.
"Ahem, I pay my respects to His Majesty."
Without waiting for Hongli to say anything, Luoyao pretended to speak in a low voice:
"Everyone says that the Imperial Concubine is weak, but she looks quite healthy. She actually sat at the door for such a long time without feeling the cold."
Although the sound was low, it was enough to ensure that everyone could hear it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Hongli subconsciously looked at her.
Luo Yao stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly:
"If I were to stand here, my hands and feet would be frozen in no time."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Hongli, looking affectionate.
Gao Xiyue was so angry that she shouted angrily:
"Nonsense! I've had a cold since I was young. Today I'm just angry at Hailan for stealing my charcoal, so I'm forcing myself to sit here!"
