"You're talking nonsense! You are the good granddaughter of the Ai family, who would dare?" The empress dowager trembled in her heart when she heard the words, she couldn't help but hold the princess's hand tightly, and looked her over carefully, seeing that she was intact, she said: " Aijia will spare you once, elder brother and Baljur go to Aijia to kneel outside the Qianqing Palace and spend the night thinking about it, as for the two maids and the eunuch, they will be punished fifty times!"

This kind of punishment is already the lightest, but when they heard that Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan were going to be punished with sticks, the princess and elder brother immediately changed their expressions. 【 】

"Grandmother, the master has orders, and the slaves obey. This matter has nothing to do with them, and I hope the emperor will forgive them!" The elder brother said immediately.

"The master is confused. As a slave, he did not dissuade him and went to mess around with the master. The crime is unforgivable. If he dares to speak too much, the Ai family will kill them!" The empress dowager sternly said.

"Imperial Grandmother..." The princess was in a hurry. If she went down fifty boards, she would be useless if she didn't die. She couldn't just watch Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan suffer.

"Emperor Niang, calm down. The two girls are maids by the concubine's side. They have always known etiquette and know how to advance and retreat. It was the concubine who ordered them to serve the princess and never leave. They accompanied the princess out of the palace to protect the lord loyally. I hope the empress will forgive me! "The queen was shocked when she heard that they were going to hit them fifty times, and couldn't help but beg for mercy.

It's fine if it's an ordinary court lady, but Wei Ning'er can't do it, she promised Fu Heng that she would definitely keep Wei Ning'er safe in the palace.

"The Ai family has already said that they are not allowed to intercede. Queen, you are so courageous. You really think that the Ai family will not kill them?" The empress dowager was furious when she saw that the empress had contradicted her.

"Emperor Empress, calm down, Wu Shulai, and lead them to the House of Internal Affairs, with fifty rods!" The emperor then supported the Empress Dowager: "It's late at night, and my ministers will send Empress Empress back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to rest!"

"Yeah!" The queen mother patted the emperor's hand lightly and smiled. After all, it was her own son.

The noble concubine and the others who had come to see the excitement, saw that the queen had a conflict with the queen mother because of the maids, but the emperor stood by the queen mother, with different expressions, but did not dare to intervene. scattered.

"Emperor Niang..." Seeing the Empress staring blankly at the Emperor and Empress Dowager who had gone away, the princess couldn't help shouting.

At this moment, Wu Shulai, who had never followed the emperor, walked up to Wei Ning'er, Ruoyan, and the eunuch Xiao Xiazi who were kneeling far away, and said coldly, "Follow our family to the House of Internal Affairs and be punished!"

The princess and elder brother rushed in front of them and stopped Wu Shulai.

"Princess, Eldest Brother, the slave is following the emperor's will, please forgive me, Princess and Eldest Brother!" Wu Shulai bowed.

"Lili, Yonghuang, come here!" the queen said in a deep voice.

"Emperor Niang..." The princess looked at her eagerly.

The queen did not look at her, but looked at Wu Shulai fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shulai, you are an old man in the palace, and you don't need to be reminded by me to know how to act. Watching them return to Changchun Palace safe and sound!"

"Yes, the servant obeys the order!" Wu Shulai said with a thousand respects.

"Go back to the palace!" The queen said and took the princess's hand and left.

The princess kept turning her head to look at Wei Ning'er and the others, feeling very uncomfortable. It turned out that she couldn't protect the people around her. Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but feel a little angry with the queen mother and the emperor, and understood that although they dote on her, they wouldn't Everything depends on her.

Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan got up from the ground, followed Wu Shulai, and went to the House of Internal Affairs. About half an hour later, they left the House of Internal Affairs.

Fifty boards were beaten, but only the sound of the little eunuch counting the boards was heard, and none of the boards fell, so the two returned to Changchun Palace intact, which also made the queen and princess feel relieved.

As soon as the emperor returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Wu Shulai greeted him.

"How is it going?" the emperor asked with a slight frown.

"The slave was sent back intact according to the emperor's wishes!" Wu Shulai said respectfully.
