Chapter 82 the Emperor's Punishment
Chapter 82 the Emperor's Punishment
Yu Wenhao gritted his teeth, rubbed his chest, and swore to himself that after dealing with the problem,
he must send Yuan Qingling into the secret room and let dogs bite her a hundred times to take revenge
for what had happened today.
After vented her anger, Yuan Qing felt much better and was no longer so uneasy.
However, looking at his livid face, feeling that she was indeed too harsh just now, she said honestly,
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bitten you."
Looking at her sincere and clear eyes, Yu Wenhao slapped himself hard in the heart. He could not be
softhearted. This woman did not apologize sincerely. She was pretending to be sincere.
"Alas, I don't know what's wrong with myself. I'm so sorry." Yuan Qingling continued to apologize,
looking very frustrated and upset. "I know that you are really doing this for my own good. You even
helped me put on a show in front of my family. You still remember that I was drunk and said I want to go
home. In fact, you are really good. I don't know what's wrong with me that I always go against you."
Yu Wenhao said with a cold face, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you."
Yuan Qingling said gratefully, "I knew you were a magnanimous person. Please speak up for me to the
Queen Mother."
"I will never break my promise." Yu Wenhao raised his hand and said.
Yuan Qingling smiled brightly. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Men were actually very easy to coax. All you need to do was to praise him.
In fact, Yu Wenhao felt that he had been tricked. But forget it, she was a woman.
After making such a scene, he felt that his mood was not too heavy along the way to the imperial
palace.
Since he married Yuan Qingling a year ago, he had been in a bad mood every time he entered the
imperial palace. The people he cared about there all showed their disappointment to him.
As time went by, when he stepped on this road, his mood would get worse for no reason.
The one-year torment was caused by Yuan Qingling, and also ended because of her.
Things in the world were really mysterious beyond words.
After entering the palace, they went to the Qinkun Palace to pay their respects.
Yuan Qingling took a very good attitude towards a confession. After entering, she did not look sideways
but knelt on the ground and lowered her head. "Imperial Grandfather, I was wrong. I shouldn't have
been drunk that day and made rude behavior which scared you and made you sick. Imperial
Grandfather, please forgive me once."
"Are you drunk and out of control?" A familiar and dignified voice came from the side.
Yuan Qingling slowly raised her head and broke out in a cold sweat. "Why is The Emperor here?"
"My... My Lord, you're here too!" She stammered.
The Retired Emperor and Yu Wenhao looked at Yuan Qingling at the same time and thought: "This
woman would die tragically one day for her stupidity."
"Getting drunk and making the old emperor fall ill? Princess Chu, tell me what happened." Emperor
Mingyuan said.
Yuan Qingling kept her head down as he said in an inaudible voice, "I drank too much that day and
went crazy. I offended the Retired Emperor. Please forgive me, My Lord."
"How dare you!" Emperor Mingyuan patted the armrest of the chair, scared the palace servants in the
hall to kneel down. Even Mu Ru knelt down. "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Emperor Mingyuan was furious and said angrily, "As the consort, your behavior should be dignified and
decent. It's wrong for you to drink for no reason. What’s more, you got mad in front of the Retired
Emperor and caused him fall ill. Do you still remember the royal rules? Do you still know who you are?
If I don't punish you severely today, I'm afraid you will continue to be confused."
"I'm willing to be punished." Yuan Qingling cried in her heart. "Am I blind? I even didn't see The
Emperor!" She looked at the old emperor for help and hoped that he could speak up for her so that the
punishment would not be too severe.
The Retired Emperor rolled his eyes. He didn't care. “What does it have to do with others if you make a
fool of yourself?"
Emperor Mingyuan continued, "Since you're the first one to commit a crime and it's fortunate that the
Retired Emperor is fine now. I'll punish you to clean up the Qinkun Palace and the Royal Workroom.
You can't eat until you're done. Yu Wenhao, you'll be punished as well."
Yu Wenhao's eyes widened and complained silently. "What does this have to do with me?"
"Any objections?" Emperor Ming Yuan roared angrily.
"My pleasure!" Yu Wenhao said hurriedly.
Emperor Mingyuan snorted and said, "Look at you two! Good-for-nothing! It seems that you're too idle.
If your injuries get better, go to work in the Jingzhao Department. If I don't give you some jobs, you will
hang around all day long."
After that, Emperor Mingyuan stood up and said to the Retired Emperor, "My Lord, take a rest. Don't
care about these good-for-nothings. Don't be too soft-hearted. Otherwise, they'll take advantage of your
love to act absurdly. Take a rest, I'm leaving now."
"Go ahead!" The Retired Emperor raised his brows and looked rather pleased.
Emperor Mingyuan left with Mu Ru angrily.
As soon as he went out, Emperor Mingyuan smiled. He finally vented his anger. Did they think that he
knew nothing about that? "Why is she in a drunken fit?" Wasn't it just that she had to take the blame for
him in the Royal Workroom? She was angry with him and took the opportunity to get drunk.
Under the protection of the Retired Emperor, he had no opportunity to reprimand her. He did not expect
that she would happen to commit her crimes in front of him today. What a happy thing!
Yu Wenhao didn't react for a long time. He even thought that he had the wrong news. How could The
Emperor send him to the Jingzhao Department? The Capital Mayor was an important position of the
Centre City government. How could The Emperor trust him so much?
"Why are you still kneeling? Go sweep the floor!" The Retired Emperor roared.
The star-crossed lovers helped each other up. On the other side, servant Chang had already ordered
someone to prepare two huge brooms and put them by the door.
After sighed and glanced at each other with resentment, they each picked up a broom and went out.
It was autumn and fallen leaves were falling one after another. In the yard and the corridor, yellow
leaves were floating everywhere.
"It's all your fault. Are you blind? Didn't you see My Lord?" Yu Wenhao was really angry. As a Grand
Prince, it was all thanks to her that he became a sweeping worker.
"Why don't you kneel down and greet him when you see him? I'll know once you do that."
"Imperial Grandfather was there, I have to pay my respects to him first. You haven't even paid your
respects before talking about it. Are you out of your mind?" Yu Wenhao was furious.
"It's too late to say anything. Fortunately, it's just a sweep. Much better than being flogged. Let's
sweep." Yuan Qingling was very optimistic. In fact, she was prepared to be beaten.
"I would rather have a flog. My hand is used to hold swords, not brooms." Yu Wenhao said with a dark
face. If other Grand Princes or ministers saw this, how embarrassed he was!
"You're too long-winded. Go sweep the Royal Workroom while I sweep this place." Yuan Qingling really
didn't want to listen to him.
"Get lost!" Yu Wenhao said angrily.
She held the broom and walked out. On the way out, the palace servants all snickered behind their
hands. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Arriving at the royal workroom, Gu Si stood outside and glanced at her lightly. "His Majesty ordered me
to supervise the workers."
Seeing the helpless look on his face, it seemed that he had never done such a job before.
"Just cleaning, right?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"No, I have to go in and wipe the dust." Gu Si said.
Entering the royal workroom? Yuan Qingling felt a headache coming on. There were so many people in
and out of the royal workroom. How embarrassing it would be to see her as a princess.
