"Come here!" The palace servants in the palace were talking and laughing when they heard Luo Qingyan's voice at the entrance of the palace.
All the people in the hall changed their expressions, and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty! Empress!"
Seeing Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan coming in from the palace gate, Bao'er had a look of joy on her face, and ran towards the two of them: "Father, Queen Mother!"
Yunshang leaned over and hugged Bao'er, with a three-point smile on her face, she just turned around and said softly to Luo: "Here, leave it to the concubine to deal with, doesn't your majesty want to accompany you? Ye? Why don’t you take Cheng Ye out for a walk?”
All matters in the harem should have been decided by Yun Shang. Luo Qingyan trusted Yun Shang and didn't mean to intervene. He just nodded, took Bao'er from Yun Shang's arms, turned around and left with her in his arms.
Yun Chang watched the father and son walk away with a smile, then turned his head again, walked slowly to the main chair and sat down, looking at the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground in the palace.
There was clearly a smile on Yun Chang's face, but the palace servants kneeling on the ground only felt a rush of pressure, which made them dare not breathe.
No one spoke, and a needle could be heard in the hall, but some people couldn't help but began to tremble.
"Empress, forgive me!" Someone finally yelled loudly. This sound seemed to trigger some mechanism, and everyone else followed suit: "Empress, forgive me!"
Yun Shang chuckled lightly, with a bit of playfulness on her face: "Oh? Forgive me? Then tell me, what crime did you commit?"
Everyone in the hall knelt down and exchanged looks tremblingly, but no one spoke.
"What? You don't even know what crime you have committed? But you want me to forgive you? Isn't this a joke?" Yun Shang sneered: "Since you don't know what crime you have committed, then continue to kneel and think about it. Think about it, I don’t worry about left and right, I can wait for you to think slowly... "
After Yun Chang finished speaking, she stopped talking.
Qianliu poured tea and handed it to Yunshang. Yunshang reached out to take it, slowly lifted the lid of the teacup, scraped off the foam on the surface with the edge of the lid, took a sip of the tea, and then put the teacup Holding it in his hand, he stroked the raised pattern on the teacup time after time, and his eyes gradually became empty, as if he was thinking about something.
No one spoke in the hall. After a while, the kneeling palace servants began to lose their strength. Someone quietly moved their knees. Yun Chang pretended not to notice, and took a sip of tea in silence.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yunshang pushed the teacup aside, just about to ask Qian Liu to continue, when the palace servants kneeling below suddenly moved.
"Empress Empress..."
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, and looked at the speaker, who was Bao'er's nurse.
"Why? Thinking of what crime I committed?"
Bao'er's wet nurse bit her lips, raised her head and looked at Yunshang: "Empress, the servant is innocent. Although the servant was in the palace just now, she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and never participated in their discussion..."
"Oh?" Yun Chang blinked: "Speaking of which, you are indeed somewhat innocent."
Yun Chang tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair: "In this case, then you can get up."
The nurse didn't seem to have thought that Yunshang would spare her so easily, she was stunned for a moment, and after a long while she came back to her senses, and hurriedly kowtowed three times to Yunshang: "Thank you empress..."
Then he got up in a hurry and stood aside.
"Your Majesty, the maidservant didn't say a word from the beginning to the end..."
"Neither are slaves."
Seeing that the wet nurse was forgiven, two more people couldn't help but speak out.
Yun Chang nodded: "Okay, since you didn't speak, it's not at fault, get up."
Waiting for the two palace servants to get up, Yun Chang looked at the three people who were still kneeling on the ground: "In this case, the three of you should not be innocent, right? Think it over? What did you do? What crime?"
The palace maid kneeling in the middle bit her lips and said in a low voice: "Slaves and servants should not talk about the private affairs of His Majesty and Empress in front of the little prince."
"Heh..." Yun Shang sneered: "After thinking about it for a long time, I just thought of this? Shouldn't you be discussing the private affairs of the palace and His Majesty in front of the little prince?"
"It really shouldn't be." Yun Chang's eyes turned cold: "Come here, each slaps the mouth twenty, and then think about it after the beating."
"Empress Empress!"
"Empress, please forgive me!"
The three palace people hurriedly begged, but Yunshang just turned her head aside lightly, and soon, there were applause one after another in the hall.
Yun Shang casually tapped her fingers on the handrail, and waited for the applause to stop before raising her eyes to look at the three people kneeling in the hall, with a calm expression: "Have you figured it out? What crime have you committed?"
The three of them flinched, but they all dared not speak.
"What? Is it difficult to answer Bengong's question? Or do you not even know what mistakes you made? If that's the case, then let's slap your mouth another twenty times."
After slapping their mouths for twenty more, the cheeks of the three palace maids were all swollen and red, looking very frightening, they couldn't open their mouths, and even the sound of pleading for forgiveness became blurred.
Qian Zhuo blinked: "Niang Niang, they seem to be speechless."
Yunshang didn't really intend to let them say anything, after hearing what Qianzhuo said, she just waved her hand lightly: "In this case, then today, I will spare their lives. It's just that This death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped, so send it to the Clothes Bureau, and let the nurse in charge of the Clothes Bureau properly train and train her."
The faces of the three people all showed terrified expressions, and they kowtowed to Yun Shang, as if they wanted Yun Shang to change his mind.
Yun Shang just pretended that she hadn't seen it, glanced at the three palace servants casually, and sneered: "It's a good idea to send a child under two years old to test this palace and His Majesty. It's just bad luck , was bumped into by this palace and His Majesty."
"I don't know the three of you, who is doing it on purpose, and who is just being implicated, I don't want to ask any questions. In this palace, if you can't control your mouth, it is a capital offense."
After Yun Chang finished speaking, he raised his hand: "Come here, drag it down."
Waiting for the guards to come in and take the man down, Yun Chang stood up and glanced at the wet nurse and the two maids who were standing on the side with their heads down: "I hope you can take a good look at what happened today, As long as you serve with all your heart, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. But sometimes, just serving with all your heart and not participating in silence is not enough... "
"You are the ones who have been selected by thousands of people to be placed beside the little prince to serve you. Don't think that you are just ordinary palace people just because you have stayed in the palace for too long."
Yun Shang gave them a meaningful look before lifting her foot and leaving the side hall.
