Rebuke Toffee
Shan has already received multiplied compensation from the heavens
After returning to the palace, there is one more thing that Tong Rong has been thinking about:
Toffee! !
Two or three months have passed, and even though Tong Rong followed Chai Shan to the Wanjing Garden, he never let go of Xifu Palace's movements, and specially arranged for people to watch at all times to observe the movement of the concubine.
According to the report from the person in charge of guarding the Xifu Palace, the concubine seems to be very peaceful these days, and has no intention of continuing to be a demon.
Therefore, Tong Rong found a day and came to Xifu Palace to finish this matter.
"Princess Taifei, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."
Tong Rong still had the calm look, the same expression as when he first came to Xifu Palace, but there was a bit of sharp coldness between his brows and eyes.
People like the concubine, although they have seen some intrigue scenes in the palace, they can't handle big things.
Now that she has lost the last guard of honor of her son's residual admiration, the originally arrogant woman has also become kind, submissive and gentle.
Just as she had always been in the late emperor's time.
"Greetings to the empress!"
Seeing Tong Ronglai, the concubine's eyes lit up immediately, she got up and saluted hastily.
Is this finally coming to relieve her restraint! ?
Tong Rong returned half of the gift according to the rules, but he didn't avoid the concubine's gift and accepted it directly.
He secretly looked at the princess's complexion and demeanor.
But I haven't seen her for a few months, and the concubine has lost weight visibly with the naked eye.
Although Tong Rong is very strict in controlling the palace affairs, there will not be insufficient cases of meal deduction.
But the concubine was left here with cold treatment for such a long period of time, and she always felt uneasy in her heart, for fear that the emperor and empress would put her under house arrest in Xifu Palace from now on.
Therefore, I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well, so I can't lose weight.
Seeing the Empress finally set foot in the Xifu Palace, how could the Concubine not be excited, holding back her tears and begging for mercy:
"Empress! It was Bengong before. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again!"
Tong Rong stepped up to sit in front of the main seat, took the teacup carefully offered by the palace servants, took a sip, and asked lightly, "Your Majesty, do you know what's wrong with me?"
The concubine quickly said: "You shouldn't damage His Majesty's majesty, you shouldn't do anything, you shouldn't speak rudely."
Tong Rong held the teacup and said, "Is there anything else?"
The concubine thought for a while, and then said: "You shouldn't offend your majesty, and you shouldn't say things that damage your majesty's dignity!"
Tong Rong said calmly: "There are other things, you can think about it."
The concubine thought about it again, and added: "Shouldn't you go straight to the Jiaofang Palace?"
"others."
"Shouldn't you not salute Your Majesty and Empress?"
"Not these."
The concubine frowned tightly, she really couldn't think of anything else, so she asked cautiously: "I don't know, can you enlighten me?"
The teacup was placed on the table with a loud sound.
"Your Majesty, you are a mother, you are superstitious, you never love the eldest son, and you once favored the youngest son!"
"From childhood to adulthood, has Your Majesty ever received a direct look from you!? Have you ever received a word of care from you!?"
"Because you are neither kind nor loving, even the courtiers and eunuchs of the Manxifu Palace are all serving dishes to others, which affected the late emperor to become more and more disliked by His Majesty, and even the dignified prince was reduced to relying on others. , grew up vaguely and reluctantly in the courtier's mansion!!"
"Have you forgotten all these mistakes!?"
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the shock was so loud that no one in the palace dared to take a breath.
Concubine Toffee, who was slammed face to face and poked her sore spot, became paler the more she heard, slumped on a chair, and clenched her teeth tightly.
After Tong Rong finished speaking, she got up, strode up to the concubine, stared at her condescendingly, and said word by word: "You know it's wrong!? You know what a fart!!"
The gentle and dignified queen suddenly uttered obscenities, and the toffee was shocked, both shocked and frightened.
She stuttered her teeth and wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a word.
This straightforward and merciless questioning exposed the most unbearable and most unwilling thing in her heart.
Ask yourself, does she really not know that Chaishan is innocent?
No, she knew, she knew it all!
But who could she blame! ?
The cold face of the first emperor after the sudden death of his mother, the loss of favor caused by his serious illness and out of shape, the loneliness and helplessness of the sudden death of his blood-related father...
You can't blame the first emperor, dare not blame the concubine who stole the favor, you can only vent your anger on the child who is the easiest to control and who should be the leader.
Even if that child is just a piece of blank paper without knowing anything, but, it is his "property" after all, he should bear the anger and misfortune of his biological mother, shouldn't he! ?
Thinking of this, she regained some confidence in her heart, and said, "Ben, Ben Gong, was his biological mother! It's just that I was a little cold when I was young, and I spoke coldly..."
"Slightly cold?" Tong Rong let out a "huh" and laughed angrily, "Isn't it just ignoring and ignoring, swearing at each other, and punishing every sentence?"
"Your weakness and incompetence are all vented on a child! It's just because you dare not hate the first emperor, and those powerful concubines! You are not only stupid, but also cowardly and vicious!"
"You! You are not worthy of being a mother!! You are even more unworthy of being the mother of the Holy One today!!"
"If it wasn't for Xiao Shan who still has good intentions towards you, in the deep palace——"
Tong Rong approached again, leaned into her ear, and said coldly: "It's not easy to let a person die without knowing why!!"
Toffee shuddered!
She was finally completely scared, and suddenly returned to the sense of life and death brought by a high-ranking person like when the first emperor was in power.
She was trembling, burst into tears immediately, and pitifully begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Empress Madam, it's all my fault, really, I know I'm wrong! No, I don't want to die!"
Tong Rong took a deep breath to calm down the surging emotions.
Now that the concubine is dead, the government and the public must have all kinds of speculations, and it is another reckless comment on Xiao Shan.
Furthermore, his morality really cannot do such a thing.
But... death is never the best way to punish!
He took a few steps back, turned his head and stopped looking at the concubine in disgust, and said coldly, "Your Majesty seems to have become interested in Buddhism recently?"
ah?Dharma?didn't...
The concubine didn't understand, she raised her head timidly: "Ben Gong, I seem to have some..."
"Since your health is better, why don't we build a Buddhist hall for you in this Xifu Palace." Tong Rong smiled, his eyes flashed coldly, "The thirty volumes of Buddhist scriptures that you copy every month, my palace will Let Your Majesty hand it over to Faquan Temple for worship. Of course, the empress is sincere in worshiping the Buddha and transcribing Buddhist scriptures, so naturally she will not use other people's hands."
The concubine finally understood, swallowed, and nodded hesitantly.
"It's so good, my mother is so sincere, and I admire it very much! I only hope that the scriptures can really dispel the sins."
Tong Rong looked at the shallow light and shadow from the door, the meager light could not penetrate this gloomy palace, the whole Xifu Palace was like a dark cave made of solid ice, oppressive and dull.
How did Koyama spend his time here at that time...
Tong Rong seemed to be able to see the lonely child, crying and hugging his legs, trying to resist the "severe cold" around him.
How much he wanted to travel back to that time, hold that child in his arms, and give him full, overflowing love.
Outside the door, in the sunny world, Chaishan stood quietly, and I don't know how long I have been listening here.
Dianzhi and palace eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground around him, Eunuch Tang hugged Fuchen, was so moved that he couldn't help wiping away his old tears.
But Chaishan didn't cry. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The more he listened, the happier he became, and the more he listened, the happier he became.
Those times of hugging his knees and crying bitterly have been buried in the past. At this moment, he is full of eyes, only pretending to be the sharp-hearted person who scolded the concubine for him, and there is no room for other things.
After all, God has multiplied and multiplied the beauty and love that he never got when he was a child.
"Hush!" Chai Shan smiled and waved at Eunuch Tang who was still wiping away tears, and quietly left Xifu Palace just like when he came.
……
The author says:
This thing is almost over...
May every child who has been mistreated by their original family meet their love for the rest of their lives!
LOVEU
