The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 139
After the punishment for Zhu Man Xie and the rest of the people in the Yuan residence was decided, everyone was immediately taken away to receive the punishment by being watched by everyone. In an instant the decision also spread throughout the entire Shao empire. People in the capital have heard news about the removal of titles for Pei Qin Yang who was revealed to be an ordinary citizen.
However after everyone received the punishment and was brought back to King Yuan's residence, the Emperor ordered everyone to re-assemble in the court hall. Including Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu.
The atmosphere of the court hall was bleak when they recalled how the sentence was carried out. The cries of the servants slicing hearts, let alone the servants, the guards receiving the punishment also cried out in pain as the whips ruthlessly slashed the skin of their backs.
But what made the ministers feel so heavy in their hearts the most was that when they had to watch Pei Qin Yang, a prince they loved had to accept a punishment that was not his fault. Moreover, it was Pei Qin Yang who continued to bully his teeth so that not a single shout sounded from his tightly shut mouth even though his face was unable to hide the pain he had to feel.
Baby Lu Jing Yu seemed to feel an uncomfortable aura and she kept crying so much that it made Lu Jing Yu ask the nanny aunt and Xiao Bei to take her out for a walk. Mo Han followed along to provide security for them. After Lu Jing Yu's baby was taken out, the only sound in the vast court hall was instantly silent. Even if a needle falls, the sound will still be heard.
"Your Imperial Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen and the Emperor's concubines entered the hall." Kasim's loud voice immediately targeted everyone. They immediately stood up and to salute. Their heads were subdued as Emperor Pei An Long in his golden robe of greatness walked gallantly towards the seat of the throne that was at the very front with the highest place.
Behind her the Emperor women walked gracefully which all looked beautiful. Even queen Zhu who despite her pale face and her two eyes, the number one woman in Shao empire still did not forget her reputation and dressed up beautifully. Ensuring that he will not lose to the concubines who always aim for his position
"We salute Her Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Queen as well as the imperial concubines. May His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the queen live for another thousand years. May blessings always overshadow the Shao empire." The entire crowd in the court hall bowed in salute except for Lu Jing Yu.
"Sit down." The Emperor waved his hand before holding the handle of his chair tightly.
"Thank you for Your Grace."
Everyone went back to silence after they returned to their place. Emperor Pei An Long swept his gaze across the entire hall room. Her eyes finally found Lu Jing Yu sitting next to Pei Zhang Xi without her child. Seeing that beam of dissatisfaction was seen in his sharp eyes. This was the first time Lu Jing Yu and her baby had come to the palace after being brought home after giving birth back then. Emperor Pei An Long had indeed seen the baby when he was born. At the time, however, the baby was still very small and it looked like it had grown bigger after a few weeks.
"Where is my imperial grandson?" Emperor Pei An Long stared intently at Pei Zhang Xi.
"A Baby won't fuss all the time. Now call him here and let his grandfather see it." Said Emperor Pei An Long without wanting to be denied.
"According to the Emperor's father's orders." Pei Zhang Xi nodded before gesturing for Quan Yuan to call the nanny's aunt to bring Lu Jing Yu's baby back inside the hall.
It was not long before the nanny's aunt brought Lu Jing Yu's baby in and gave the baby Pei Zhang Xi so that her father could bring the baby to the Emperor's sight. Servants like the nanny aunts did not have the qualifications to approach the emperor.
Pei Zhang Xi had gotten a little used to holding a baby because it had been Pei Zhang Xi who often carried him while he was at the residence. While Lu Jing Yu still could not carry him because of the wound on his stomach.
The Emperor's gaze followed Pei Zhang Xi's movements walking closer towards him. The closer the view the more closely pay attention to babies who already look bigger even though they are still not even one month old. His white cheeks were already filled. Her small nose looked like Pei Zhang Xi's. His eye brows though were still thin but it was already visible that those eyebrows would be sharp like Pei Zhang Xi's eyebrows. One look at it can already be seen that the baby had almost ninety percent inherited Pei Zhang Xi's face. Lu Jing Yu who was also aware of this from the first time she saw her son also felt that it was unfair. She was the one who took pains while pregnant and even had to bet her life during childbirth, but almost nothing was inherited from her by her son except her thin lips.
"Bring here. I'll hold him." Emperor Pei An Long orders again after Pei Zhang Xi arrives in front of the stopover.
Everyone is surprised. Not just anyone who can go up to the stage where the emperor's throne is located. Even the eunuch who followed the emperor was still keeping one ladder to receive and give something to the Emperor. But if Pei Zhang Xi had to take the baby to give the baby to Emperor Pei An Long to carry, he would have to climb to the top of the stairs to ensure his safety.
