The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 230
Queen Zhu's mood had somehow been damaged ever since Lu Jing Yu showed strong evidence in front of everyone. And even he was willing to be a witness. With such strong evidence, it was impossible for him to close his eyes just for the sake of blaming Lu Jing Yu. His face had been grim since the first. And now even this selfless Concubine Yu was daring to drag her into trouble. It cannot be allowed!
Concubine Yu was unaware of Queen Zhu's hateful gaze and was still hoping to get help from the number one woman in Shao's empire. He quickly walked over and held the tip of Queen Zhu's clothes.
According to her observation during her five years in the palace, queen Zhu harbored hatred towards Consort Su and even it seemed that this hatred also led to Lu Jing Yu who was the son-in-law of her sworn enemy. It is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Yet Consort Yu did not seem to consider the possibility of profit and loss.
Since ancient times, in the world of politics always consider the advantages and disadvantages of a cooperation. No matter what, if cooperation only brought harm, it would not require a second thought to immediately put an end to it. Moreover, in the case of Consort Yu, queen Zhu would naturally only suffer a loss if she chose to fight Lu Jing Yu and side with Consort Yu, which in fact was nothing to her. That's not possible!
Grunting in disdain, queen Zhu sneered as she flicked her sleeves. Making Consort Yu who was holding onto her fall backwards with a Buk sound as her body slammed onto the ground. "Geez! You've been proven guilty still intend to evade!" Queen Zhu said firmly. Staring at Consort Yu sharply. "Guard, drag this woman. A venomous woman like this was no match for being inside the palace. Hit it with a plank twenty times before sending it to pray at the Yaowang temple for the prosperity of the Empire." Further Queen Zhu. Immediately, two guards immediately entered and dragged Consort Yu away.
"I am Queen. I regret my actions. I promise I won't repeat this again." Shouted Consort Yu who kept rebelling in the grasp of the guards. Queen Zhu, was very upset and turned her face away. Not intending to look at Consort Yu at all.
Twenty-times the punishment of a plank blow is the same as killing half of his life. A woman who received such punishment was almost the same as taking a sterility potion where she would not have the chance to become pregnant in the future. By holding that much punch, the reproductive parts can be sure to experience problems. Although it still has the possibility to get pregnant, maintaining a healthy growing fetus is almost impossible.
Moreover, sending her to the Yaowang temple was tantamount to making her a nun. The temple on top of the mountain was in a secluded place surrounded by forests and fields run by nuns. The people who live there are mostly women who have no family anymore or who are dumped by their families. So they have no choice but to stay inside the temple for some time. In addition, the Temple was a special temple for the women. Not a single man will stay or visit there. All done by women. Including planting and building.
Concubine Yu who since childhood was raised in the style of a spoiled noble young miss would not be able to bear to live in such a place. Even imagining it, he could even imagine that the place was more terrifying than living in hell. There was no need to think twice about refusing to be sent there.
"Crown Princess, I know you are a loving person and have a very gentle heart. Please forgive me for the last time. Please don't let them hit me or I'll die! Helpme! Please save me! I don't want to go to Yaowang Temple! I'm not leaving!" Realizing that Queen Zhu did not consider it at all, concubine Yu changed her target with Lu Jing Yu and shouted loudly for help. But all I got was a cold shoulder. Lu Jing Yu simply looked at him expressionlessly as he was dragged into the backyard to receive punishment.
Although he was also against such a cruel punishment, he said nothing. It was enough for him to look for trouble with Queen Zhu. After all, such a punishment was in accordance with the rules applicable in the palace. If she spoke for concubine Yu, she would be judged if she supported Consort Yu's behavior.
Consort Xiu, although she was glad the truth had been revealed, she also did not expect the punishment received by Consort Yu to be so severe. But he was also not a good person who would lend a hand to save the person who had the intention to push him down. So he just stared at Concubine Yu who was dragged away with a complicated look.
"Concubine Xiu, after all, is guilty of this. The punishment I have decided on still has to be done." Said Queen Zhu as she looked at Concubine Xiu who was standing to one side and shrunk herself.
"Thank you for the Queen's justice. I have realized my guilt and accepted my punishment and will carry out the sentence in accordance with the decision the Queen gave." Because Consort Xiu said that he had received his punishment, it was not the guards who came to take him to serve the sentence but the senior servants who would also watch him carry out the punishment.
Lu Jing Yu also had no more business and left from there. As she passed by Consort Xiu standing quietly with the two servant aunts on either side, Consort Xiu thanked her in a very quiet voice. It is barely audible. If Lu Jing Yu did not have good listening skills, it was certain that the thanks would not even be up. However Lu Jing Yu's hearing was good and could clearly hear what Consort Xiu said and smiled. She did not have much of an impression on one of her father-in-law's concubines, but from the effect, this young woman had the ability and courage.
"Your Majesty has already helped to address the case, but not only did not get a sincere thank you, Her Majesty the Queen did not even seem to consider the Crown Princess to exist. It was really like the person who destroyed the bridge after successfully crossing!" Grumbled Xiao Bei who was walking behind Lu Jing Yu with Chu Fei.
"Stop commenting. Aren't you afraid of losing your only head if someone hears you? Although your head contains only a small brain that can hardly be used for thinking, but if you lose it, you won't be able to replace it with just any head you find." Chu Fei who was beside him rebuked him.
"What do you mean! I'm not stupid either. I won't talk if there's anyone around." Xiao Bei did not accept it and started fighting Chu Fei.
"Although there is no one around, we can't be sure if the walls and floors here will be silent."
"But..."
"Chu Fei is right. Issues like this shouldn't be talked out or you might not even know how your life disappeared someday." Lu Jing Yu cut the debate of the two servant girls behind him. Xiao Bei was instantly silent as soon as he heard Lu Jing Yu's voice.
