Chapter 354 A good show
Yesterday, the news that the princess was caned with 20 sticks had spread throughout the court and harem.
He was sentenced to another half year of house arrest, which finally put an end to the rumors in Kyoto and the situation at the Censorate quieted down.
After all, Xie Huan is the eldest princess, and such punishment is already considered severe.
Yesterday, Ci'an Palace summoned all the imperial doctors.
The imperial physician stayed in Ci'an Palace all night long. Early this morning, the eldest princess was sent back to the princess's mansion and placed under house arrest.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to keep the eldest princess in Ci'an Palace and send her back to the Princess's Mansion after she recovered from her injuries.
But Xie Yu directly sent someone to take the eldest princess away from Ci'an Palace and sent her back. The empress dowager was so angry that she suffered a headache.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue was sipping tea leisurely. Just now, Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen left.
Qiaoxin walked in
"Your Majesty, there's a letter from Imperial Physician Wu. The Queen Mother is really suffering from a severe headache. The Imperial Physician is giving her acupuncture. Once the Queen Mother's headache strikes, it will take at least ten days or half a month to recover. Your Majesty, please have some peace and quiet for a while."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and slowly curled the corners of her lips.
The depths of her eyes, covered by her long eyelashes, were like an abyss, and she chuckled softly.
"When our Queen Mother was young, she played too much with the late Emperor and damaged her body. She took a lot of medicine and suffered from a headache. Now, if she gets a little angry, she will suffer from the headache. The eldest princess is the Queen Mother's biggest weakness. The Queen Mother saw with her own eyes that her precious and spoiled eldest princess suffered such a great crime. Naturally, she would feel distressed and suffer from a headache."
Danzhen said with relief, "Your Majesty is right. The Queen Mother hasn't had this disease for many years. Think about what the Queen Mother did to you in the past. You really deserve it."
Guyu nodded
"Your Highness, this game is really beautiful."
Qiao Xin, Dan Zhen and others looked at each other with true admiration in their hearts.
Overnight, the Queen spread rumors about the eldest princess throughout Kyoto.
He also ordered people to compile a storybook to make the matter a big deal.
The queen also arranged for someone to report the matter to Lord Gu of the Censorate.
As everyone knows, Lord Gu of the Censorate has always been fair and honest.
After Lord Gu learned about this, he joined other officials from the Censorate in submitting a joint memorial to the emperor, forcing the emperor to severely punish the eldest princess.
The queen had someone present the eldest princess with a specially prepared wine, which left her drunk all night.
Yesterday, when the eldest princess was brought into the palace, she looked so confused that she must have made the emperor even more angry.
But the most important thing is that the Queen's last move was truly amazing.
Lin Junxue stood up, walked to the window, and looked out. The clouds were rolling and the sky was beautiful.
The weather was getting hotter day by day, and the injury on the princess' back would take a month to heal.
Nanny Wu believed her words and thought that the executioner would not dare to use harsh measures because of the eldest princess's status.
Of course, if it were an ordinary guard, he would definitely not dare to do so.
It was a pity that the guards who carried out the execution were arranged by her long ago, and they were the secret guards of the Lin family.
After taking charge of the six palaces, she had already arranged for the Lin family's secret guards to enter the palace and distribute them to the six palaces to facilitate her actions. She was waiting for today.
Naturally, she wanted to be a good person to the end, and she also gave the eldest princess a bigger gift.
The princess' back injury will become more and more serious day by day, and the wound on her body will not heal for a month.
When it comes to July and August, when the weather is the hottest, those are the most torturous days.

Nanny Wu looked at the eldest princess lying on the bed, crying out in pain, unconscious, cursing, her face full of heartache.
Judge Zhao shook his head
Nanny Wu stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What happened to the princess? Why did the wound start to bleed again this morning even though it was clearly healed last night? There is also an unpleasant smell. How could this happen? What happened to Judge Zhao?"
Zhao Yuanpan stroked his beard, stood up, and sighed.
"Madam Wu, the wound on the princess' back is really strange. Although she was beaten with 20 boards and her skin, flesh and bones were injured, logically speaking, as long as she took medicine on time and took good care of herself after treatment, this wouldn't happen."
Zhao Yuanpan had never seen such a situation before.
Aunt Wu frowned
"What are you talking about? What do you mean it won't happen? Could it be that the princess was poisoned?"
Zhao Yuanpan shook his head with certainty
"No, the eldest princess' pulse is stable, and there is no sign of poisoning. Perhaps the eldest princess has injured her body due to excessive drinking, and she was beaten with twenty boards, so the wound is difficult to heal. Wait a minute, I will prescribe some medicine for the eldest princess."
When Nanny Wu saw that Judge Zhao was so sure, she knew that the princess was not poisoned.
She believed in Zhao Yuanpan's medical skills, so she no longer had any doubts.
After Judge Zhao left, the princess regained some consciousness. As soon as she regained consciousness, she raised her hand and slapped the palace maid who was applying medicine to her.
"You don't want your hands anymore, get out of here, someone, beat this clumsy idiot to death for me"
The maid was so scared that she begged for mercy
Aunt Wu said, "Okay, you go down first."
The princess gritted her teeth and said, "Mammy!"
Aunt Wu sat by the bed
"Princess, at this moment, please be patient and stop making trouble."
The princess cried
"Mammy, this princess is in so much pain. It's all the emperor's fault. How could the emperor not care about the relationship between brother and sister? It's just that an actor died. He ordered people to beat me with twenty boards and confined me to my room for half a year. Mother, mother is not on my side anymore, right? Mother doesn't love me anymore, mammy."
Aunt Wu hurriedly coaxed
"Princess, how could the Queen Mother not love you? She has always spoiled you since you were little, but this time, the matter has become so serious that the rumors in Kyoto cannot be stopped. Even if the Queen Mother wants to protect you, there is nothing she can do. The Emperor was really angry yesterday. If the Queen Mother stops her, it will only hurt the relationship between mother and son."
The princess grabbed Madam Wu's hand and moved it slightly. She grimaced in pain and her eyes were red.
"Mammy, someone must have wanted to plot against me. I have kept this a secret, how come it became known to everyone overnight? Yes, someone must have wanted to plot against me, Mammy, please ask my mother to investigate. She must make the decision for me. If I find out who has plotted against me, I will make that person suffer a fate worse than death."
Aunt Wu's eyes darkened.
"Princess, the Queen Mother sent Wang Chu to investigate this matter yesterday, but there is no suspicion in this matter, and no one has planned it. It is said that when the actor's body was transported out of the Princess's Mansion, it was seen by someone. In addition, you robbed the actor in public that day, and too many people saw it, so the matter spread and made a big fuss."
The princess frowned
"It's all my fault for the useless people under my command. They can't even take care of a corpse. Mammy, is Wang Chu the eunuch that my mother recently promoted? Humph, my mother does trust him."
Nanny Wu said, "This Wang Chu is indeed a capable man. Okay, Princess, you are now under house arrest by the Emperor for half a year. During this half year, you must not cause any more trouble. The Emperor's relationship with the Queen Mother is no longer the same as before. Princess, listen to Nanny."
