Chapter 380 Kneeling as punishment
Seeing Su Qing so anxious, Jiang Weiyang did not continue to ask. After all, he was in a coma when he came back, and the emperor must know about it.
However, the emperor chose to come alone in the middle of the night, and when he was unconscious, so what would the emperor talk about with Su Qing? And what would he do? Once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, they would quickly take root and sprout.
"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. But, how is my injury? My arm should be fine, right?" Jiang Weiyang changed the subject at the right time.
"Don't worry, I have already handled it properly for you." After Su Qing said this, she turned around and put on an attitude of "whatever you want to do".
"Don't be angry anymore, Qing'er. Can you help me wash and tidy up? Then send someone to call Rufeng over, and we will go to the palace together to meet the emperor. Be good~" Jiang Weiyang pulled Su Qing's sleeve flatteringly.
Although Su Qing was still dissatisfied, she obeyed. Not long after, Jiang Weiyang was ready to go.
"Rufeng, go prepare the carriage." Jiang Weiyang shouted loudly to the outside of the door.
"Yes, master." Rufeng's voice came from a distance.
Jiang Weiyang turned to look at Su Qing, and said with tenderness in his eyes: "Let's go."
Su Qing nodded slightly to show her agreement, then walked out of the room with Jiang Weiyang.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Jiang Weiyang got off the carriage lightly, and then Su Qing also got off carefully.
"Please wait here for a moment." Jiang Weiyang whispered to Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded obediently, following Jiang Weiyang's figure, watching him walk towards the palace step by step. She stood there quietly, with an inexplicable expectation and nervousness in her heart.
Jiang Weiyang had been in for a long time, and Su Qing was getting impatient. Why hadn't he summoned her yet? Just as she was getting annoyed, she saw Su Wanrong coming over from the other side in a sedan chair.
Really didn't check the almanac before going out! At this moment, Su Qing just wanted Su Wanrong not to see her, but she had no place to hide.
Seeing the sedan chair getting closer and closer, Su Qing's heart tightened, and she quickly knelt down to salute, saying in a panic: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. Long live Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."
Seeing Su Qing being so respectful, Su Wanrong raised her lips slightly, gently adjusted her hair bun, and said in surprise: "Who is this? Sixth sister? Why does she look so bad? Did something happen?"
Su Qing lowered her head and responded softly, "Your Majesty, I am too humbled to praise you. I don't deserve it. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't look good. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
"Oh? So that's how it is." Su Wanrong chuckled, her eyes fell on her towering belly, and she stroked it thoughtfully for a few times, but she had no intention of letting Su Qing get up. She then asked, "Sixth sister, are you coming to the palace this time to meet the emperor?"
How could Su Qing not know that Su Wanrong was deliberately making things difficult for her, but since she was a concubine, she couldn't directly contradict her, so she could only reply respectfully: "Your Highness, I am accompanying the Marquis to the palace this time to meet the Emperor."
"Your Marquis really dotes on you and takes you with him wherever he goes. I've never seen him treat my second sister in the same way before. I guess you must have some outstanding qualities!" Su Wanrong spoke sarcastically, with a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in her eyes.
Su Qing was speechless for a moment. She really didn't know how to respond. She thought to herself that she hadn't provoked her recently, so why did she bother her for no reason today? "Thanks to the Empress Xianfei, I believe the Emperor also dotes on the Empress Xianfei."
Su Qing originally planned to just go along with Su Wanrong's words, but she had never expected that this casual remark of hers would actually anger the other party.
Su Wanrong knew very well that she was not favored in this deep palace, and she knew better than anyone how this child came from. Therefore, in Su Wanrong's view, what Su Qing said now was simply a great humiliation to herself.
"Whether I am favored or not is not your place as an outsider to comment! Qiu Shuang, slap her hard on the face for me right now so that she knows what she can and cannot say!" Su Wanrong gave orders to the palace maid beside her in a stern tone.
"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me! I don't know what I said just now to offend Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can make it clear. I will definitely correct it. It's just that this slap in the face... I hope Your Majesty can forgive me for the sake of our relationship as sisters." Su Qing knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.
She came to see the emperor today for important business, and she didn't want to argue with Su Wanrong, but if the palace maid slapped her in the face, it would not look good.
"Hmph~ It's because we are sisters that I have to discipline you properly." Su Wanrong said with a slight smile on her face, and then she gave the palace maid a look full of malice and provocation, indicating that she should quickly beat the person in front of her.
The palace maid understood what she meant and immediately strode forward, raising her hand to slap Su Qing hard on the face.
However, just as the maid's palm was about to fall, Su Qing reacted quickly and grabbed the maid's wrist with amazing speed. After all, she couldn't defeat those people with great martial arts skills, but she was more than enough to deal with a maid who had no martial arts skills at all.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The Emperor will summon me soon, and it would be difficult for me to meet him with the marks on my face." Su Qing held the maid's hand tightly, looking directly at Su Wanrong without fear, her tone firm and powerful.
Then, she pushed the palace maid hard and pushed her far away. The palace maid was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground.
When Su Wanrong saw this, her anger grew stronger. She widened her eyes and roared in rage, "How dare you threaten me?" Her voice was deafening, as if it was going to overturn the entire palace.
"I dare not. Please calm down, Your Majesty." Su Qing tried to use a humble attitude to get Su Wanrong to let her go.
However, her obedience and humility only fueled Su Wanrong's anger.
"Okay! You are getting more and more courageous. OK, I will not beat you today, because it is for the emperor's sake, but I will punish you to kneel here. You can only get up when I calm down and let you get up." Su Wanrong leaned back and said to the chief eunuch beside her: "You stay here and guard me. No one can ask her to get up without my order. Remember?"
After hearing this, the chief eunuch nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then he said, "Your Majesty, if His Majesty allows the Marquis to stand up, what should we do?"
When Su Wanrong heard this, her eyes instantly became sharp, and she glared at the chief eunuch fiercely. The chief eunuch felt her gaze, was startled, and quickly closed his mouth, not daring to make any more sounds.
"That's enough. No need to say more." Su Wanrong said coldly, "I have something important to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief eunuch bowed quickly in response. He secretly made up his mind to live up to the Your Majesty's trust and keep a close eye on the Marquis's wife.
So he raised his voice and shouted to the servants in front of him: "Go to Chang'an Palace!" His voice was loud and firm.
Upon hearing this, everyone headed towards the Chang'an Palace.
