The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
70. Wei Qian Nian Wants to Wash Her Hands
The deafening slap sound rang out once again. Now the left cheek of An Ru who has a picture of five fingers is red. An Ru collapsed and fell on the ground. Her tears flowed but there was not the slightest sound of groaning. Wei Qian Nian slapped An Ru with all her might. So when he had already done two slaps in a row, not only was his palm feeling pain and heat but his breathing was also wheezing.
"I'm sorry for the Princess' servant. The servant admitted wrong. It was because I felt sad after seeing the princess humiliated in public by King Rui. Servant followed the Princess since I was young. Servant understands the virtuous character that the Princess always lives. But what right does Empress Rui have not to allow King Rui to accept you as if only because of pregnancy. For that.. for that...."
"Silent An Ru. I can't believe I've raised a waitress like you. I never taught you to hurt anyone. I'm so disappointed in you." Wei Qian Nian sobbed.
"I forgive the servant of the princess. Servant just wants you not to experience continuous humiliation. It's my fault." An Ru kowtowed in front of Wei Qian Nian's feet.
"His Majesty the Emperor. The servant acknowledges the fault of the servant. It was indeed the servant who had ordered the maid of Rui's residence to give the abortion medicine to Empress Rui. Also the servant who had told people to spread gossip in the capital. The servant also admitted that the murderers were also the servants who sent him. But it had nothing to do with Wei Qian Nian's daughter. The princess had always been a kind-hearted person who could not even kill a small ant that bit her. I am ready to accept whatever punishment Your Majesty has given me. But please give justice to Wei Qian Nian's daughter." The punishment for this crime is death. But if it were to die just like that, An Ru's death would be of no use. So at the end of his life he was still thinking about how to fulfill his employer's goals. What a loyal man.
"An Ru. Don't say that."
"Enough! Don't you feel that the snot and tears you shed are so disgusting?" Pei Zhang Xi shouted impatiently.
Wei Qian Nian and An Ru did not expect that anyone would interrupt them at this moment. Was King Rui really as cold and heartless as rumored? But doesn't he love his wife so much? Or maybe their charade isn't convincing enough?
"Your Majesty forgive us. But we couldn't hold ourselves back for a moment." Wei Qian Nian wiped away the tears flowing down her cheeks. Forcibly leaving two traces that damaged her beautiful makeup.
"Servant An was found guilty. But maid An admitted that she committed this crime of her own volition and had nothing to do with Wei Qian's daughter Nian. Then it could be decided that princess Wei was innocent. And to An's servant and Chu's servant, will be punished according to the law adhered to in the harem. The queen..." Emperor turned.
"Your Majesty." The queen nodded the council gracefully accepting the Emperor's gesture to determine the punishment for An Ru.
"Servant An was found guilty of planning to eliminate the vocational lives of members of the royal family. For that his punishment is to be flogged to death." The queen looked at An's trembling servant on the floor. "And to Chu's servant..."
"Please wait a minute, Queen Her Majesty." Queen Zhu's speech was again cut off by Pei Zhang Xi.
"What's Xi'er?" Queen Zhu moved her teeth.
"Servant Chu is a servant in my King Rui residence. Therefore, it is we who decide what punishment he deserves. Moreover, Servant Chu contributed to the arrest of the mastermind who intended to harm prospective members of the royal family. Therefore I personally want to ask for compassion and allow us to punish him." Pei Zhang Xi bowed his body as he spoke. To get what you want sometimes you have to be low.
"All right then. I'll let you."
"Thank you, Queen. But there's still one more offender who hasn't been punished." Everyone looked at each other and asked.
Pei An Long found out who Pei Zhang Xi was referring to and clenched his hand back on the handle of the chair. His son is not giving up. But he also could not allow such a ruthless person to roam the palace let alone become a part of a member of the royal family. This time he will support his son's move.
"Who else is that?"
An employer will often escape his crime by scapegoating his own servant. (As my readers said.) The loyalty of the servants at that time was indeed very great. They would have even given up their lives in order to protect their employers. This is very common to happen.
This has happened so often that sometimes everyone will just let it pass. Who is strong who will survive. Let's just say that the servant had the bad luck of being born as a servant whose death was worthless. For everyone, dealing with a weak servant like this would be more convenient than dealing with their master.
"No! You must not doubt Wei Qian Nian's daughter even if you are the venerable King Rui. This is my fault and has nothing to do with the princess!" An Ru shouted in panic. If Wei Qian Nian would also be punished, then his sacrifice would be futile.
"Why are you so panicked that your daughter's master really has nothing to do with this? The ones who are almost wretched here are my son and wife. I won't be able to calm down if I don't make sure myself that the culprit gets the punishment in its entirety." Pei Zhang Xi snorted. Sniping the loyal An Ru indiscriminately.
"It's...."
"What do you think of Wei's daughter?" Pei Zhang Xi turned his gaze to Wei Qian Nian.
"All right, Your Majesty. If that way His Majesty King Rui gets his composure and confidence, I will give you permission and let you check out my residence." After all, as much as you check, you won't get any results. All the evidence of the crime was on An Ru who took care of everything. Of course the next sentence is only spoken in the heart.
"Your Imperial Majesty, I have obtained permission from princess Wei. Now please allow me to conduct a temporary residence search for Wei Qian Nian's daughter." Pei Zhang Xi smiled. He turned his gaze to the Emperor who was looking at him with a scornful look.
"Since Eastern Chu's daughter, Wei Qian Nian herself had allowed the seal, then there was no longer any reason for me to hold her back. In order to ensure justice, Eunuch Song will lead this search."
"Hamba accepted His Majesty's duty."
"Thank you Your Majesty."
