Chapter 87

The next day, Yingying was awakened by the noise outside the room. Before she could wake up, she was shaken by Xiaodai who was hurried in.

"Miss, stop sleeping, something big happened." Xiaodai was anxious and lost her composure. She saw Yingying sitting up from the couch before she opened the wardrobe to help her choose clothes.

Yingying was so sleepy that she yawned. She rubbed her eyes and saw the scene in the room clearly. She touched the empty couch next to her, and asked with some nasal voice: "Why are you so anxious? What big thing happened?"

Xiaodai quickly chose a piece of clothing to change it to Yingying, "Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not go to the imperial study because of his health. Who knew that His Majesty had come here in person. He was losing his temper now."

Emperor Wu Cheng came on a whim. He didn't tell Qin Rong before he came. It was too late when Qin Rong learned about it.

"Why is his majesty angry?" Yingying just woke up and her mind was not very useful. She realized something was wrong after she asked. She shuddered. She opened her eyes wide and suddenly thought of something, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, he...he wouldn't see the handcuffs, right?"

Xiaodai's face looked very bad and nodded. After she helped Yingying change her clothes, Cui'er brought someone in to help Yingying wash her in time. Because His Majesty suddenly came over, the atmosphere in the East Palace was solemn.

"Grandmaster, Your Majesty summons you over." Cui'er whispered while helping Yingying comb her hair.

She reminded: "Your Majesty will make you angry, and the Empress must be careful."

"Can you pretend to be sick but not get out?" Yingying shrank for a moment. Faced with this unexpected situation, she instinctively wanted to escape, but was afraid that the longer she delayed, the harder it would end.

Qin Rong is the crown prince of the Northern Region Kingdom. He was trapped in the palace while sick, and he was caught in the face, not only his own face, but also the entire royal family. It is conceivable that Emperor Wu Cheng was so angry when he saw the chains on Qin Rong's feet. If Eunuch Zhang had not helped him in time, Emperor Wu Cheng would have almost fainted.

"That's how you are the prince?"

When Yingying arrived, Emperor Wucheng's voice clearly spread outside through the gate. At this time, countless people were kneeling outside the hall. Yingying did not dare to walk in because of this solemn atmosphere. She stopped outside the hall and heard Emperor Wucheng scolding Qin Rong.

"The prince is so arrogant that he can be restrained by a woman. Qin Rong, you are really my good prince. You are so good."

"You have lost all the royal faces!"

Bang-

When Yingying mustered up the courage to push the door, Emperor Wucheng was so angry that he brushed the teacup on the table, and most of the fragments just swept to Yingying's feet.

Yingying had a few drops of tea on her embroidered shoes, and she held the door frame and looked inside. Emperor Wu Cheng was standing in the house. He was unstable and staring at Qin Rong, who was kneeling down on his head. He heard the movements by the door and looked up, and his cold eyes pounced on Yingying's face.

Yingying's legs became weak, and she heard Emperor Wu Cheng gritting her teeth and saying, "Gu Yingying, you are so brave!"

Yingying hurriedly knelt beside Qin Rong, and knelt side by side with him and said, "Yingying knew her mistake."

The last time she saw Emperor Wucheng was furious, it was when Emperor Wucheng learned that Jing Zhao was plotting with her to murder Qin Rong.

Although Emperor Wucheng did not move her that time, he kicked Zhao Shi, who was the crown prince, to the side. This time, Yingying came later and didn't know what Emperor Wucheng did to Qin Rong, but Yingying could see through Qin Rong's slightly scattered clothes that he must have been punished.

I don’t know if it was because of Yingying’s fate, but in short, this crime that was enough to get Yingying to jail was thunderous. After Emperor Wucheng made a big fire, he just summoned Gu Mingzhi to the palace and scolded him, and even Queen Gu did not let him go.

Qin Rong was punished for this, and Yingying, the culprit, was punished to kneel at the Buddhist temple for a month.

This is actually not a trivial matter. If Emperor Wu Cheng had not deliberately concealed it, I would have probably been filled with impeachment memorials in the imperial study. Then Yingying would be imprisoned and implicated the Gu family, and even the people in the East Palace could not escape death.

When Yingying was led by Eunuch Zhang to Queen Mother Zhaoxuan, Queen Mother Zhaoxuan was lying on the couch and pretending to sleep. Seeing Yingying being sent over, she was lazy and raised her eyes and said, "I know that you, a girl, can't be at peace for a few days. Tell me, what happened this time."

Without waiting for Yingying to answer the conversation, Eunuch Zhang, who was arranged by Emperor Wucheng, took the words in time and said respectfully: "It's just a trivial matter. The Crown Princess is young and impetuous. Your Majesty wants the Empress Dowager to help discipline one or two."

Emperor Wucheng believed in the destiny of heaven and Li Huaixu, but it did not mean that Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan would have the same trust.

He sneered, and Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan looked at Yingying with a glance: "The Queen is there, but Your Majesty asked the Ai family to discipline him?"

Even though Queen Mother Zhao Xuan has not interfered in the government affairs in recent years, the conflict between her and Emperor Wucheng is still there. She doesn't like Emperor Wucheng and even more dislikes the appearance of Empress Gu Manru, so she prefers to indulge Qin Rong.

Since Yingying and Qinrong’s wedding, Queen Mother Zhaoxuan has heard that Qinrong and Gu Yingying are so loving. If it weren’t for knowing that Qinrong fell off the cliff a few days ago, Queen Mother Zhaoxuan wouldn’t have given Yingying a good look at this moment.

She didn't say it well or not. Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan didn't target Yingying much. She just said meanly: "The Ai family wanted to help the prince discipline him, the prince's concubine, but the prince is very precious. The Ai family usually says that she is not good. The prince is unhappy. If the Ai family really disciplines her, she will not feel sorry for the prince?"

Queen Mother Zhao Xuan didn't know what voluntary things Yingying did to Qin Rong, so she had such partial words. She smiled and said without a smile: "Ai's family is old, and even when they are old, they can't guess what His Majesty is thinking."

Yingying has never dared to speak, and Eunuch Zhang has not answered the conversation for a long time after listening respectfully.

After Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan finished speaking, Eunuch Zhang laughed and said, "Your Majesty punished the Crown Princess to kneel down in the Buddhist temple for a month. Your Highness also agreed to this matter after learning about it. The Empress Dowager can rest assured."

According to the extent of Queen Mother Zhao Xuan's love for Qin Rong, if she knew what Yingying had done to Qin Rong, it would be not the turn of Emperor Wucheng to take action and Yingying would be in trouble. At present, Eunuch Zhang only casually said Yingying had made a few small mistakes, so Queen Mother Zhao Xuan, who was unaware of the truth, was too lazy to pay attention to Yingying.

Since Emperor Wucheng punished her to kneel on the Buddhist temple, then go and kneel down.

During the period of kneeling, Yingying lived back to the Buddhist temple. The temple was a little cold in late autumn. During the period of kneeling, Yingying could occasionally recall the past. She always felt that the punishment she had in the same sign was yesterday, but time flew by, so quickly.

Things have changed a lot.

When he was drowsy, the door of the Buddhist temple was pushed open.

Yingying was lying on the desk and was about to fall asleep, but she felt a cool breeze coming in through the crack of the door. There was a sound of footsteps approaching, and then a warmth on her cheek, as if a hand fell on her face.

"Third Brother..." You can tell who is coming without opening your eyes. Yingying murmured softly and gently rubbed her little face against her fingertips on her cheeks.

During the days when he was punished, Qin Rong would come to see her every few days.

The rustling sound of clothes whirling faintly, Qin Rong sat next to Yingying. He held the person on the table and hugged it into his lap, hugged it into his arms and touched her hair.

"Why did you sleep so early today?" Seeing Yingying closing her eyes and being extremely sleepy, Qin Rong lowered her eyes and fiddled with her eyelashes.

Yingying hid but didn't hide. She opened a gap in her eyes and went to hug Qin Rong's neck. She laid her on Qin Rong's shoulder and said, "It's so boring."

Although Emperor Wucheng did not ask her to kneel in the Buddhist temple all day long, he did not allow Yingying to leave the Empress Dowager's palace, and Yingying did not dare to wander around under the empress dowager's nose at will, so she could only stay in this Buddhist temple. Every day, there was no one who could speak with her except worshiping Buddha, copying scriptures or staring blankly.

Seeing that Yingying was really unscrupulous, Qin Rong held her wrist and lit her veins before reassuring her. He took out a thick cloak from the bag beside him, and wrapped it on Yingying and instructed: "It's been cold lately, and you should wear more even if you don't go out."

Yingying nodded and calculated carefully that the long days she had to stay in the Buddhist temple were still in the long hall, and she really couldn't get better.

She had just been punished to kneel, and Qin Rong didn't come to see her three days later. It was not until today that she learned that Qin Rong was looking for a way to remove the handcuffs that three days ago.

Qin Rong was worried when he made handcuffs for Yingying. The handcuffs and swords were constantly shattered and the lock core was extremely complicated, and it was extremely difficult to open without a key.

After Yingying lost the only key, it would be extremely difficult to rebuild it. If Qin Rong had not ordered someone to create the key the next day after being locked by Yingying, she would have to wait a few more days before she could untie the handcuffs.

"How did the third brother deal with the handcuffs?" After Qin Rong came, Yingying couldn't sleep anymore.

Qin Rong wrapped Yingying's circle tightly and hugged her. Hearing the words, he looked down at her, hooked her little finger and asked, "What do you want to do?"

To be honest, Yingying really didn't regret Suo Qinrong. The only thing she regretted was that she accidentally lost the key.

In short, the two of them interlocked each other once and even got even. With this time, Yingying didn't dare to attack Qin Rong again. In order to prevent Qin Rong from handcuffing her again, she suggested: "It's better to destroy it with the third brother."

A sword could not be cut, and the handcuffs that were difficult to fit the key were too terrible. Yingying was really uneasy to see it.

Qin Rong seemed to see through Yingying's concerns, and the smile on her lips was very shallow. He casually responded: "Okay, the third brother will order someone to deal with it when he goes back."

Yingying felt relieved and obediently nestled in Qin Rong's arms.

After all, this place is a Buddhist temple, or in the palace of the empress dowager. Even if they haven't seen each other for many days, they can't get too close. When Qin Rong pinched her chin and kissed her, Yingying struggled and pushed Qin Rong away. She pointed to the Buddha statue beside her and explained in a low voice: "...It's not good for us to do this."

Qin Rong glanced at her without forcing her, so she hugged her calmly and did not move any more. After that, Yingying talked to Qin Rong without saying anything. Most of the time, Yingying asked Qin Rong and answered. When Yingying stopped talking, Qin Rong rarely spoke on her own initiative, so the Buddhist temple quickly fell into silence.

Qin Rong's arms are very comfortable, at least it is more comfortable than Yingying lying on the table.

Not long after, Yingying fell asleep in Qin Rong's arms. Qin Rong held her and looked at the scriptures she copied casually. The black ink on the white paper next to it was squinted and seemed to be painting something. Qin Rong looked at it, but he didn't know whether Yingying was painting a cat or a dog or an animal next to her.

"Your Highness, the time is here." After a while, You Yang's voice came from outside the Buddhist temple.

Qin Rong did not answer the conversation, but put Yingying in a comfortable position on the table. He helped Yingying wrap her slightly open cloak. He stood up and looked at the Buddha statue with kind eyebrows. With just a pause, he supported his arm in front of the table to block the candlelight beside him.

The shadow lengthened and soon hidden the Buddha statue. Qin Rong leaned over and pressed Yingying away. He raised Yingying's chin with two fingers and began to soften her lips. He bit and chewed her. When he noticed that Yingying had signs of awakening, he let go and then put a kiss on her eyebrows.

After Qin Rong came out of the Buddhist temple, he did not leave immediately. He stepped to Queen Mother Zhaoxuan and talked with Queen Mother Zhaoxuan for a while.

Zhao Xuan was so clear about how could he not know Qin Rong's thoughts? She waved her back and helped her massage the female official on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "The prince never comes to Ai's house without any trouble. I went to see that girl today but couldn't sit still?"

Qin Rong rubbed her fingertips against the white porcelain teacup and did not deny it, her voice was gentle and calm: "Yingying didn't have a good rest recently, and she looked a little bit in her spirit."

Zhao Xuan snorted, "This punishment has nothing to do with the Ai family. The prince is worried, but he has found the wrong person."

In fact, she just couldn't stand Yingying's barbaric nature and was not disgusted with her. In the past few days Yingying was locked in the Buddhist temple, Queen Mother Zhaoxuan had never tried to trouble Yingying.

Qin Rong heard the taste of eating in Queen Mother Xuan's words, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He explained in a gentle voice: "Although Yingying looked at it without caring, she was actually delicate. She was not as heartless as the emperor's grandmother saw it."

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Zhao Xuan frowned. Seeing Qin Rong get up and leave, she said again before leaving: "The father did not let her stay in the Buddhist temple all day long. The emperor and grandmother could call her out to speak. She is lively and will definitely relieve you."

This is his purpose in finding Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan.

Empress Dowager Zhao Xuan looked at Qin Rong leaving without expression. She controlled the court and naturally understood what Qin Rong said. When she tugged her lips and smiled, wrinkles piled up at the corners of her eyes. She sighed and said to herself: "I really care about that girl."

The next day, Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan called Yingying out for lunch with her.

Although Yingying didn't really want to contact Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan, she was really suffocated these days. At first, she was a little restrained. After a while, she didn't seem to be making things difficult for her when she saw Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan. Yingying started to say more to Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan. After dinner, Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan wanted to see where this girl attracted Qin Rong, so she left her to speak in the yard.

The two got along in harmony, and the concubine Shu who rarely came to invite Queen Mother Xuan to visit suddenly.

The fire cannot be covered. Concubine Shu learned the truth about Yingying's punishment in somewhere. She was about to come and complain with the Empress Dowager.

This is a huge thing.
