Chapter 482: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 15

"Queen, you are forcing me!" Qianlong said in a deep voice, his tone full of unquestionable majesty.

"I dare not. I just want to ask the emperor to give Yingluo a chance to make amends. I guarantee with my life that Yingluo will never make the same mistake again!"

Qianlong's chest heaved violently. The queen's sudden action was like a huge rock, hitting the center of his heart, causing a thousand waves.

Anger burned in his eyes, and he almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong. The Queen, his always gentle and submissive Queen, was actually kneeling before him and begging for a servant who had committed treason!

"Queen! Are you going to disobey me for a servant?"

The Queen trembled, but did not retreat, still kneeling straight: "I dare not! But Yingluo's life is too hard, and she is loyal to me, I really can't bear it..."

"A hard life?"

Qianlong sneered, pointed at Wei Yingluo who was being dragged by the guards, and said angrily: "She committed treason and defied the emperor's authority. Isn't it her own fault? I think she is not unlucky, but she is so bold! Queen, you have always been sensible and considerate of the overall situation. Why are you so foolish today for a servant!"

The queen's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Yingluo is a servant in my palace. If she makes a mistake, I am also responsible for not disciplining her properly. I am willing to take the punishment for her. I only ask Your Majesty to show mercy and spare her life!"

"You..." Qianlong was so angry at the queen's words that his face turned blue. He pointed at the queen and kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say anything. He really couldn't understand why the queen, who had always been gentle and virtuous, would be so disrespectful for Wei Yingluo and even disobey his will.

Seeing that Qianlong remained silent, the queen became even more anxious. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed again, saying, "I know that the emperor must hate Yingluo in his heart. However, I beg the emperor to spare her life for the sake of my years of dedicated service. I am willing to guarantee with my life that Yingluo will reform in the future and never commit the same mistake again!"

Qianlong had never seen Fu Cha Rongyin like this. His queen was actually contradicting him so shamelessly for a servant.

Rage rolled in his chest like magma, burning his reason. He stood up suddenly, pointed at the queen, and said in a voice as cold as an ice cone: "Queen, you disappoint me so much!"

The queen's body swayed, and she couldn't hold back her tears. However, she still stood straight, without giving in: "Your Majesty, I…"

Qianlong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and glanced at Wei Yingluo coldly, as if he was looking at an ant.

"Since the Queen has pleaded for you, I will give you a chance. You can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. From today on, you must kneel outside the Yongshou Palace for an hour every day at noon as a punishment!"

Wei Yingluo raised her head suddenly and looked at Qianlong in disbelief, her eyes full of unwillingness and stubbornness. She would rather be punished than bow down in front of Erqing!

Upon seeing this, the Queen quickly winked at Wei Yingluo and gently advised, "Yingluo, the Emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. You should thank him quickly."

Wei Yingluo bit her lower lip tightly, feeling the Queen's gaze, and finally kowtowed reluctantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Qianlong snorted coldly, and left with Erqing, leaving the Queen and Wei Yingluo behind.

After Qianlong walked away, Wei Yingluo dared to raise her head and look at the queen, her tone full of confusion and grievance: "Queen, why are you begging the emperor for me? I..."

"Yingluo, I know you have been wronged, but the emperor is angry. If you contradict him again, you will only suffer. I do this to save your life." The queen interrupted her and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingluo's eyes reddened and she choked up, "I understand the Queen's painstaking efforts, but... I really can't accept this!"

"Yingluo, be patient for a while and everything will be fine. What you need to do now is to protect yourself. Do you understand?" The Queen held Wei Yingluo's hand and said earnestly.

Wei Yingluo nodded and forced back her tears, but she secretly swore in her heart: Erqing, I will never let you have an easy time!

The next day, when the sun was at its highest, outside the Yongshou Palace, Wei Yingluo, wearing plain clothes and with injuries from the beating she received yesterday, knelt on the scorching bluestone floor. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks, creating tiny splashes of water on the ground.

The scorching sun was burning the earth, and Wei Yingluo felt as if her body was about to melt, but she still stubbornly straightened her back, refusing to show any sign of weakness.

Er Qing walked up to Wei Yingluo, looked down at her, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh, isn't this Wei Yingluo? How did you fall to this state?"

Wei Yingluo slowly raised her head and looked at Erqing, her eyes as cold as a knife: "Don't worry about me!"

"Oh, you're still stubborn even after all this!" Er Qing pretended to be surprised and smiled, "But it's true. Someone like you who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is will not admit defeat easily."

"You..." Wei Yingluo was furious and wanted to stand up to argue, but was held down by the palace maid beside Erqing.

Wei Yingluo struggled, glared at Er Qing, and said word by word: "Er Qing, don't be complacent. One day, I will make you pay for what you did!"

Er Qing sneered, "I'm waiting for that day." After that, she ignored Wei Yingluo.

Wei Yingluo looked at Er Qing's receding back, a fierce light flashing in her eyes. She, Wei Yingluo, had made a note of this!

However, to Wei Yingluo's surprise, this was just the beginning...

Outside the Yongshou Palace, the scorching sun was baking the earth. Wei Yingluo knelt on the bluestone road, feeling that her blood was about to evaporate.

Her lips were cracked and her throat was smoking, but she stubbornly refused to make a sound.

Palace maids and eunuchs passed by one after another. Some of them pointed and whispered, while others cast undisguised mocking glances.

Wei Yingluo had thought about resisting, but the Queen's teachings were still ringing in her ears, so she could only endure it.

Er Qing felt extremely happy when she saw Wei Yingluo's frustrated look. She just wanted to let Wei Yingluo have a taste of what it feels like to be stepped on by someone!

"Oh, look at this little face that's been tanned. It's almost as black as charcoal." Er Qing covered her mouth and laughed, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Wei Yingluo, oh Wei Yingluo, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better for you to just be obedient? You had to go against me, now you're asking for trouble, aren't you?"

Wei Yingluo clenched her teeth and said nothing. She knew that saying anything now would be futile and would only make Er Qing more proud.
