Chapter 1111: Prince Li’s Extra: The Emperor’s Thoughts

"My beloved concubine, do you think I should hand this old woman over to you for punishment? I wonder how my beloved concubine plans to punish her?" The slow voice, without any emotion, made Concubine Dong feel a little cold in her heart.

"If she dares to attack the prince, I will not let her off easily. I will beat her with ten... no, twenty big boards." Concubine Dong spoke timidly, looking at the emperor with tearful eyes, which was indescribably sad and moving.

Murong Zheng just looked at Concubine Dong calmly for a long time without making a sound.

"Is the emperor dissatisfied with this punishment? If you are dissatisfied, I will beat her with fifty big boards, but your emperor, fifty big boards will kill Li Mama. You know, she is my wet nurse, I can't..." At the end, Concubine Dong could no longer control her tears, and they fell like beads with a broken string.

But Murong Zheng still sat there quietly, without any emotion.

No one knew that what he was thinking about was the words of the little maid. His son, the noble prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was actually no match for a cunning slave...

A bitter smile finally appeared on his lips, but when he looked at Concubine Dong Guifei, his face was more helpless.

"Your Majesty, you are the most merciful. How could you bear to let Li Ma lose her life?" Concubine Dong Guifei could not wait for the emperor's reply, and she became more and more anxious and uncertain.

The only thing she insisted on now was to save Li Ma. Not to mention that Li Ma was sincere to her, even for her own face, she could not let Li Ma get into trouble.

"It's not me who is merciful, it's you, my beloved concubine." Murong Zheng finally stood up, leaned over, helped Concubine Dong up, and held her waist.

"Your Majesty, Kai'er's legs are broken this time. If the Empress Dowager knew..." Queen Sun, who had been sitting quietly beside Murong Zheng, suddenly spoke up, with a strong disapproval of the emperor in her eyes.

If possible, she really wanted to use the authority of the queen to seek justice for Murong Kai, but in this deep palace, there was only Concubine Dong, and she was protected by the emperor behind her, and the palace rules could not restrain her.

"Since it was this cunning slave who did it, send this cunning slave to Kai'er and let him deal with it." Murong Zheng glanced at the queen and ordered.

"Your Majesty, I don't want it..." Concubine Dong's face changed after hearing Murong Zheng's words. She grabbed Murong Zheng's sleeves tightly and begged.

She knew best what she and Li Ma had done. If Li Ma was sent to Murong Kai, she would probably lose her life.

Murong Zheng put down his hand on Concubine Dong, turned around and told Queen Sun: "Send this evil slave to Kai'er and tell her that this is Concubine Dong's confidant. He is a prince and should know how to act in moderation."

These words, with both defense and attack, anyone can hear that the emperor is soft-hearted and wants to save Li Ma's life.

Empress Sun obviously didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing. A smile suddenly broke out on her beautiful face, but that smile was bitter and sad.

"Kai'er has always respected me as his mother. I am afraid that I have no face to do what the emperor has entrusted me to do. Please punish me, emperor."

"Empress."

The anger on Murong Zheng's face suddenly burst out, but Empress Sun was not angry or afraid. She slowly stood up and knelt in front of Murong Zheng.

The civil and military officials in the court didn't dare to say much before, and now they didn't dare to say a word.

"Sister Empress, you dare to question the emperor. You don't want to be the queen of this Zhou Dynasty, right?" Compared with the court officials, Concubine Dong was excited at this moment. She was thinking about the position of queen, but the queen had not fought for so many years. Now she finally made a mistake. How could she miss it?

"I think what the queen said is right. Such words are not something a loving mother can say to her child." Qu Jingze's voice suddenly resounded through the hall, like a wisp of spring breeze, blowing away the dullness and stagnation of the hall.
