Empress with no Virtue Chapter 28: Punishment
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!
The emperor has been a little manic recently.
Anyone who has met Ji Wu Jiu these days, whether in the court or the harem, will have this impression. His face was elongated and clouded, holding back his anger, like a moving volcano that might erupt at any time. The people in Qianqing Palace now even walk lightly, for fear of making some noise and upsetting His Majesty, which would be fun.
So the maids and eunuchs who have been coming in and out of Qianqing Palace these days are as quiet as cats, as if they are floating on the ground. When a stranger walks in, he is greeted by a ghostly aura, which makes people feel very uneasy.
When Fang Xiuqing came out of Qianqing Palace, she found that she didn't bring a handkerchief. He lifted up the sleeve of the first-grade crane official uniform and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. This Qianqing Palace is the residence of the emperor, and ordinary foreign ministers are not qualified to enter without permission. However, Fang Xiuqing, as an important minister of the cabinet and the leader of the country, is occasionally summoned here by the emperor to show his affection. In fact, when these two guys got together, they were probably studying how to fix Ye Xiu Ming, and this time was no exception. However, what surprised Fang Xiuqing was that the emperor had been very bold in his actions in the past few days. He used thunderous means to deal with several leaf gangsters. He punished and transferred people when they needed to, and he also brought the Ministry of War into his sphere of influence. In this way, Ye Xiu Ming only fully mastered three of the six departments, and he had the capital to compete with Ye Xiu Ming.
It’s just that Ye Xiu Ming is quite prestigious in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This time Ji Wu Jiu made a bold move and was scolded by the officials again. But Yan Guan can't hit him. The more painful it is, the more he enjoys it. When he comes back, he will open the scar on his **** to show off to his wife: Look, the emperor hit you! This is glorious evidence that we have sacrificed our lives for the country and the people!
Ji Wu Jiu felt that these officials were not just admonishers, but also scoundrels, scoundrels and scoundrels!
If this was normal, he would tolerate it. Anyway, he has endured it for so many years, and this is not the only hardship of being an emperor. But this time, he was in a bad mood. There was a bunch of evil fire in his stomach and he didn't know how to vent it. By chance, someone rushed up to hit the tip of his gun. It was... great!
Can’t Yan Guan be beaten? Then his father can always fight, right? His son can always fight, right? His brothers, brothers, uncles, relatives and friends... can he fight?
It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Few people who work in the officialdom have clean buttocks. It is so easy to find a crime. Moreover, when Ji Wu Jiu selects people, he only picks those whose bodies are so big that they can't suffer any side effects from being beaten with a stick, and he only hits them twenty times, just enough to make them cry when they go home.
So the arrogance of the officials was finally extinguished by the emperor in this bizarre way.
Ye Xiu Ming was so angry at this beautiful and heartwarming trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao that he locked himself in the room and paced back and forth, cursing "little bastard!" incessantly. Ye Kangle was frightened when he heard what he heard outside the door, and ordered people to clear the place and strictly guard the surroundings. If the emperor heard such words, it would really be enough to confiscate the house. Fortunately, Ye Xiu Ming wasn't angry yet. He just knew who the little **** was in his heart, and there was no need to declare it to his mouth. If someone finds out about this mistake, they have many grandchildren anyway, and any one of them will be a little bastard.
To be fair, Fang Xiuqing actually admired Ji Wu Jiu. He asked himself that if it were him, faced with the siege of so many people, he might not be able to come up with such an insidious, tactful and reasonably harm-controlling method to retaliate and escape. He had always been optimistic about the emperor, otherwise he would not have stood beside him so early and confronted Ye Xiu Mingming. But I don’t know what happened. The emperor, who usually kept his emotions in check, couldn’t control his emotions these days. He looked like a debtor to everyone. After all, he is younger and cannot live in the city.
Actually, to be fair, "Chengfu"... is innocent. Being despised by a woman in bed in that way is something that only an **** can handle calmly.
After Fang Xiuqing wiped off her sweat, she looked at Feng Youde who had specially sent him out, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Feng works hard for the emperor every day. This hard work really makes me ashamed."
Feng Youde smiled and said, "Sir, you are too polite. It is our duty to serve the emperor well, how dare we talk about hard work."
Fang Xiuqing said a few more polite words to him, then asked, "Eunuch Feng, is the emperor still in good health these days?"
"Master Fang misses the emperor so much, it is really a lesson of loyalty," Feng Youde said with a smile, "Don't worry, the imperial doctor said that the emperor is in good health, but he is not in a good mood and is depressed."
"I wonder why the emperor is depressed?"
"I don't know about this. I only know that it has been like this since the emperor came out of Kunning Palace late at night on the winter solstice."
Fang Xiuqing understood it immediately. We are all smart people, so there is no need to make things too obvious. He looked around and asked with a smile, "Then the little girl didn't cause any trouble in the palace, right?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Fang? The Concubine Xian is your Majesty's treasure. She was in charge of the Sixth Palace a few days ago. She is virtuous and wise, and is deeply popular among the people."
Fang Xiuqing asked no more questions and said goodbye to Feng Youde with a smile.
Watching Fang Xiuqing leave, Feng Youde turned around and saw a **** named Yu Ji in the Qianqing Palace hiding behind the wall and looking over here.
Feng Youde scolded, "Why are you not waiting for orders in the palace? What are you doing hiding here? If you hit His Majesty's eyes, will you die?"
Yu Ji came forward and said with a smile, "Eunuch Feng, I am not on duty today... The emperor has not looked good these days. What is going on?"
Feng Youde pressed a fly whisk against Yu Ji's forehead, "Please do your work honestly, and don't pry around when you shouldn't pry."
Yu Ji looked around and said in a mysterious voice in a low voice, "It's not me who talks too much, but father-in-law, don't you think about it?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty has not seen your concubine for several days."
Feng Youde's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the emperor was weak again and needed to be replenished? But at such a young age, will there really be no problem if I always take supplements in that area...
"Father-in-law, you don't understand. This woman is like a vegetable. After eating too many delicacies, she should change her taste."
"What flavor should I change?"
"Game."
Feng Youde suddenly understood what Yu Ji meant, picked up a fly whisk and hit him on the head, "I'm going to beat you like a little beast with your mouth uncovered. How dare you say such nonsense! You...Grandma, the King of Hell" Pregnant, full of ghosts! If the emperor finds out, he will chop off your head!"
Yu Ji covered his head and said, "Oh, oh, I was wrong! Eunuch Feng, Master Feng, Grandpa Feng... I was really wrong!"
Feng Youde kicked him away with his final kick, "Get out!"
Yu Ji stumbled away and fled, leaving Feng Youde standing there with an unfathomable look on his face.

Ji Wu Jiu was sitting in the pavilion, playing the guqin. The tinkling sound of the piano is very pleasant, but it seems to contain a... um, murderous intention?
Xu Cairen was dancing gracefully at the foot of the stairs. She was wearing a green skirt with soft material and flying belts, which made her appear full of vitality in the cold winter.
Ji Wu Jiu seemed as if he hadn’t seen Xu Cairen. His eyes were empty, and the speed of playing the strings with his fingers increased. The sound of the piano suddenly sounded like a sudden rain pouring down from the sky, or like thousands of troops galloping to fight. Xu Cairen's steps gradually became disordered, and finally he was unable to move any further. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
Ji Wu Jiu looked at Ye Zhen Zhen, who was standing not far away, and couldn't help but press the strings with his fingers. Being pressed by the tight strings, his fingertips hurt like a knife.
He was in a bad mood, but little did he know that Ye Zhenzhen was also holding fire in her heart. In her opinion, the nausea and vomiting caused by doing that kind of thing with a man was probably a strange disease, and Ji Wu Jiu was the cause and witness of this strange disease. Therefore, whenever he appears, it is equivalent to reminding her: You are sick!
How could she not be annoyed.
Xu Cairen was helped up by the palace attendants on the side. She looked at Ji Wu Jiu, curled her lips, and said softly, "Cousin, you played too fast just now."
Ji Wu Jiu stood up and walked down the steps, holding Xu Cairen with one hand, "Are you okay?" Although he was talking to her, his eyes wandered towards Ye Zhen Zhen. When he saw Ye Zhen Zhen's expression was not good, he simply hugged her Xu Cairen's shoulders allowed her to lean gently into his arms.
Xu Cairen's face turned red and he looked up at Ji Wu Jiu shyly.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at this couple, making calculations in her mind. She couldn't bully Ji Wu Jiu, so she had to bully Ji Wu Jiu's cousin...
And she has actually wanted to beat Xu Cairen for a long time. Although this man was only a sixth-grade talent, he was very restless because he was from the Queen Mother's maternal clan and was childhood sweetheart with Ji Wu Jiu. She and the Queen Mother colluded and did a lot of tricks. Can’t I see it? I am so smart!
"Cousin, let's go." Xu Cairen said.
"Don't you need to bow and kneel down when you see me, cousin?" Ye Zhenzhen said as she walked up to them.
Xu Cairen secretly glanced at Ji Wu Jiu, who let her go and said, "The queen is right, etiquette cannot be abolished."
Xu Cairen is actually not arrogant and domineering, and she doesn't have the capital to be proud of being favored now. To be honest, she was very excited when Ji Wu Jiu could look at her in the eyes. So now he knelt down obediently and saluted Ye Zhenzhen, "I, my concubine, see you, the Queen."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't let her get up, looked down at her and said with a smile, "Since you call me the emperor's cousin, why not call me cousin?"
Xu Cairen's face turned a little embarrassed for a moment. Calling Ji Wu Jiu cousin is still a bit intimate and ambiguous. If he calls Ye Zhen Zhen as cousin again, wouldn't it mean that she and Ji Wu Jiu are just brother and sister?
"I dare not."
"Don't you dare? I see you are quite energetic when calling your cousin, why don't you dare?"
Xu Cairen was silent for a while. Seeing that Ji Wu Jiu had no intention of rescuing her, he could only say, "I know I was wrong."
"Just admit your mistake. If everyone in the palace were as good as you, neither big nor small, neither high nor low, wouldn't it be chaos? You and the emperor have a sincere relationship, and I don't want to punish you. But if I don’t punish you today, everyone will learn from you in the future..."
"I am willing to accept the punishment."
"In that case, go and kneel outside Kunning Gate for two hours."
Exiting Kunning Gate is the Imperial Garden, which is one of the most popular places in the palace. Xu Cairen became famous as soon as she knelt down like this. Everyone who knew her but didn't know her now knew her.
The bluestone ground in winter was cold and hard. Although Xu Cairen was wearing a thick cloak, he was still shivering from the cold. Her face was pale with the cold, but her eyes were blazing, staring at the main hall of Kunning Palace through the Kunning Gate.
Ye Zhenzhen watched from the side and turned to ask Ji Wu Jiu next to her, "Don't you feel bad?"
"Why do I feel sad?"
Forget, you have no heart.
The two stared at each other in silence for a while, as if they thought of something together, their faces darkened, and they turned their heads away from each other.
Hmph!
