Xu's mother choked up for a moment, then knocked her head down heavily, and said decisively, "It is because of my negligence as a mother that the child can have today, but the Xu family is innocent, and the youngest son of the minister's wife is innocent.
?But the law is the law after all, the courtier's wife is willing to apologize with death, and asks the empress to spare the innocent members of the Xu family. "
She knew that she would not be able to withstand more than 50 members of the Xu family and more than 300 members of the Nine Clan with her own life, so she went on to apologize.
"Of course the crime committed by the child must be borne by himself. It is not a pity to die. Therefore, the minister's wife is willing to apologize for the Xu family, and the child is willing to take responsibility for his own mistakes, so I ask the empress to spare the innocent members of the Xu family. , Spare the young and ignorant children!"
Huarong put the book on the small table beside her, quietly watching Xu's mother who kowtowed again and again until her head was bleeding, her face was expressionless.
Time passed by every minute and every second, Huarong said nothing, Xu's mother felt bottomless, and became more and more flustered, thinking of her son who was young and ignorant and didn't know anything, she knocked louder and louder.
Boom, boom, boom.
Surprisingly, it was able to compete with the violent wind and rain, knocked on the floor, on the tip of the heart, bloody and bloody, the blood flowed down the floor, and flowed to Huarong's feet, staining the white embroidered shoes red.
Feeling wet, Huarong looked down, the soles of the shoes were already red, but they still slowly spread upwards and eroded. Looking at the blood spreading up, Huarong suddenly remembered the scene of the hemorrhage, but the blood flowed from the top down, soaking the white Confucian clothes in the same way, the red was dazzling and heart-piercing.
That kind of fear is still in her heart to this day. At that time, she also begged all kinds of gods for her children, and would rather exchange her life for their safety.
Xu's mother, who was bloody and mutilated in front of her, also begged, and exchanged her own life for the safety of her child.
"stop."
Huarong sighed, "The Xu family's family can not be held accountable, and your nine clans can also let it go, but the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The mistakes and sins you committed must be punished."
Xu's mother was overjoyed, she quickly thanked her, and kowtowed her head heavily.
"Thank you empress, thank you empress!"
Huarong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she waved her hand, and let the maid beside her help her to stop, fearing that she would die here before being punished.
"Mother Li."
"The old slave is here."
Nanny Li took a step forward.
Huarong sighed, and rubbed her index finger and thumb slightly, entangled in their punishment.
"I pass on the decree of my palace, Xu Shao is full of evil, heinous crimes, offending the emperor's authority above, and violating the laws of the country below, fish and meat people, the law of heaven does not tolerate, and the death penalty. The mistress of Xu's family sheltered Xu Shao, condoned his crimes, did not teach in time, and was willing to be punished, death penalty. The envoy Hui was ineffective in teaching, and was demoted three ranks in a row, never to be promoted. I thought that Xu's family didn't know about it and was innocent, so I didn't punish him. Young Master Xu, the mistress of the Xu family will be beheaded at noon three days later!"
Xu's mother raised her head, smiled in a bloody mess, and bowed heavily, "My wife is willing to be punished, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
Huarong said "hmm", "This is already the greatest tolerance of this palace, so let's do it for ourselves."
Xu's mother was willing to apologize, but Xu Shao didn't want to, so she panicked immediately, her dim eyes burst into panic, and tremblingly shook Xu's mother beside her.
"Mother, I don't want to die, the boy doesn't want to die, you save my son, the son doesn't want to die."
Xu's mother directly shook off Xu Shao's hand, and slapped her directly on the ground.
"What nonsense are you talking about! This is what you deserve! You deserve what you deserve! If you don't die, everyone in the Xu family will accompany you to die! Boy! One person does things and one person should be responsible, don't be so cruel!"
Xu Shao tremblingly covered the left side of his face that was beaten, his body trembled, tears burst out, and big ones rolled down.
"Mom"
Xu's mother's nose was sore, she hugged Xu Shao again, and stroked his head.
"Don't be afraid, mother will die with you, don't be afraid, mother will accompany you, don't be afraid."
The Xu family's mother and son sent back to Xu's family overnight, and read out the edict by the way.
Huarong sat quietly on the imperial concubine chair, staring at the red embroidered shoes, not moving at all, the maid was wiping the blood on the ground with a rag, there was a lot of blood, the color was very dark, after wiping off, there were still marks on the floor, the maid Been busy for a long time.
When Nanny Li came back from the outside, she found that Huarong had been sitting with her head bowed. She looked down and caught a glimpse of the red embroidered shoes. She was shocked. She quickly stepped forward and took off Huarong's shoes and socks, and then ordered the maid to fetch water. Come here to wash Huarong's feet.
"It's true, even the empress's shoes are coveredIt's red, what are you all doing? Didn't notice? ! "
Grandma Li suddenly asked the blame, and the maids who were cleaning the house panicked, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Huarong waved her hands weakly, "They are busy cleaning, I didn't see it, it's fine."
Nanny Li glared fiercely at the maid cleaning the house, and said nothing more. Holding Huarong's feet, it was terribly cold.
"Ma'am, are you cold?"
Huarong looked at Nanny Li blankly, shook her head, "It's just a little uncomfortable."
"It's fine."
While reassuring, Nanny Li put the hot water brought by the maid under Huarong's feet, then tested the temperature, and put Huarong's feet in again.
"Your Majesty, I feel better."
Huarong slowly recovered and nodded.
Seeing that after Xu's mother left, Huarong became a little sluggish, sitting motionless, and asked worriedly.
"My lady, what's the matter? She's absent-minded."
Hua Rong was a little natural, and was silent for a while, "I just remembered that when Nian Yu was born, Nian Rong bled profusely. people fear."
Nanny Li sighed, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, it's all over. The princess is sleeping soundly in the room over there. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Huarong's eyes lit up, she hesitated for a while, then shook her head, "Forget it, don't bother her in the past."
Nanny Li responded.
The temperature of the hot water warmed Huarong up, and she slowly regained consciousness, "What crime do the remaining three Chacha have Forget it, I can make friends with Xu Shao, and I'm sure I don't have to do this kind of thing on weekdays." Don¡¯t do too much, it¡¯s useless to check.¡±
After a pause, Huarong changed his words again, "Let's look it up, and check their father by the way, and whether other people in the family have other activities. Submit it tomorrow, and I will make a decision to see how to deal with it."
Grandma Li responded, "I understand, I will send someone to investigate and deal with it tomorrow morning."
Huarong thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Mother and son of the Xu family sent back?"
Nanny Li took the cloth and wiped Huarong's feet. "I sent it back. As soon as I sent it back, I read the Yizhi, and then sent it to the prison. I will be executed in three days. Madam, don't worry."
Huarong said "hmm" and stopped talking. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
