Chapter 650: Willing to be punished

When they returned to the palace, it was already dark.

All afternoon Xiao Xixi was rushing back and forth, running around.

She was tired and hungry, and just wanted to have a big meal and then have a quiet sleep.

However, as soon as she returned to Qingge Hall, she found that there were many more guards in Qingge Hall, and the leader was Gan Fu.

As soon as you look at this posture, you will know that the visitor is not good.

Gan Fu bowed to her: "I pay homage to the concubine."

Xiao Xixi had no choice but to cheer up and deal with it.

"Why is Eunuch Gan coming?"

Gan Fu smiled and said, "When the Imperial Guards searched the East Palace this morning, they accidentally discovered that you had planted many vegetables and raised a lot of poultry. After the emperor learned about this, he was unhappy and felt that the Empress's move had destroyed the image of the East Palace."

Xiao Xixi: "I have asked someone to clean up all the vegetables and poultry."

Gan Fu: "Well, I just went to the backyard to see it. It was indeed cleaned up very clean. It is a great thing to know the mistakes and repent in time. However, the emperor still needs you to give an explanation, so I would like to ask the empress to go with the slave."

Baoqin looked at Concubine Xiao with extremely worried eyes, fearing that Concubine Xiao would suffer a loss this time.

Xiao Xixi was not very afraid.

She just felt hungry.

"Can Eunuch Gan wait a little? I just came back from outside and my clothes were stained with dust. This is really indecent. I want to change into clean clothes."

Gan Fu is not good at pushing people too tightly, gentle and authentic.

"Please take your own actions, but you must move faster and don't let the emperor wait too long."

Xiao Xixi and Baoqin went to the bedroom.

Baoqin closed the door and asked anxiously: "Empress, the emperor called you over, would he be punished?"

Xiao Xixi opened the box at the head of the bed, and there were many pastries inside.

She picked up a piece of peach crisp and ate it while saying, "It's okay, the emperor shouldn't do anything to me. At most, just hit me."

Baoqin couldn't help but persuade her when she saw her voracious look.

"Eat slowly and be careful not to choke."

Baoqin poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Xiao Xixi drank the tea and continued to stuff it into her mouth for food.

The emperor definitely did not provide food, so she had to eat more now so that she would not go hungry.

She ate most of the pastry box.

Baoqin took out a simple dress, changed it to Xiao Xixi, and then explained the makeup on her face.

Gan Fu's urging sounded outside the door.

"Empress, have you not packed it up yet? It's already late, so we can't delay any more."

Xiao Xixi: "Okay OK!"

She stood up, patted off the pastry crumbs stained from her dress, and then took the handkerchief from Baoqin's hand and wiped her hands.

Baoqin squatted down and helped her tidy up the hem of her skirt.

Xiao Xixi opened the wardrobe and took out the small bag of blue-bottomed florals.

She took out a bottle of medicine from it.

Open the medicine bottle and pour out a milky white pill.

She stuffed the pills into her carry-on sachet.

After doing this, Xiao Xixi opened the door and walked out slowly.

She said to Gan Fu, who was waiting under the steps.

"Let's go."

The group walked out of the Qingge Hall.

Xiao Xixi sat in the sedan chair and Baoqin followed him on foot.

Gan Fu walked in front, and there were more than a dozen imperial guards around him.

They left the Eastern Palace and headed straight for Weiyang Palace.

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

Palace lanterns are lit up, and they emit warm light in the vast night, like scattered stars.

Xiao Xixi gently pinched the sachet, looking ahead without any focus, not knowing what she was thinking.

When the sedan chair stopped, Gan Fu's voice sounded again.

"Empress, it's here."

Xiao Xixi took Baoqin's hand and walked slowly out of the sedan chair.

Looking up, there was the majestic and solemn Weiyang Palace in front of me.

This is the largest palace in the entire palace. It represents supreme power and is a holy place that countless people yearn for.

But at this time, in Xiao Xixi's eyes, it was more like a beast with a bloody mouth.

It seems that it can swallow up all people at any time.

The autumn night is a little cold.

Baoqin shook her cloak and put it on Xiao Xixi's body.

Gan Fu led the way in front with a lantern, and Xiao Xixi and Baoqin followed behind.

After walking two steps, Gan Fu stopped again and turned around and reminded him.

"The emperor only said that he would see Concubine Xiao, and he hoped that Miss Baoqin would stay."

Baoqin had to stop and watched Concubine Xiao gradually fade away, and her slender figure was completely swallowed by the Weiyang Palace.

The Weiyang Palace is very quiet.

Occasionally, a palace maid and eunuch passed by, and his steps were extremely light and he could hardly hear the sound.

When they saw Concubine Xiao, they were just slightly blessed and did not speak out.

This is Xiao Xixi's first time coming to Weiyang Palace.

She felt that this place was very similar to the Jiaofang Hall, and it felt a bit cold.

It's like a coffin, it's easy to suffocate after staying for a long time.

Gan Fu gently knocked on the door of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is here."

After a while, the door was opened and a palace maid gave Concubine Xiao a blessing.

"Your Majesty invites you in."

Xiao Xixi walked into the bedroom and saw the emperor leaning on the soft couch.

The emperor was disguised with his hair, most of his hair was white, his expression was haggard, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his face was pale.

Looks older than when we met last time.

Xiao Xixi knelt down: "I shouldn't raise chickens and vegetables in the palace. It's because I ruined the image of the Eastern Palace, and I am willing to be punished."

The emperor spoke hoarsely: "You did something wrong. How could you allow you to act so recklessly in the important place of the palace?"

"I have cleaned up all the vegetable garden and poultry, and I guarantee that I will not commit any more in the future."

Emperor: "I will give you a lighter punishment this time because you have a good attitude towards admitting your mistakes."

He coughed twice again before continuing.

"In the past two years, the great dynasty has been in chaos.

First, Qin Chong and Xiling Palace rebelled, and then King You came to raise an army in Xiling County, and the Liao Kingdom also made a splash.

Countless people died unfortunately.

Since you have the leisure to raise chickens and vegetables in the palace, why not help copy Buddhist scriptures?

You copy it eight hundred times first.

After copying, I will send the copied Buddhist scriptures to Shengguang Temple.

Burn to the innocent people who died in vain to save their souls.”

When Xiao Xixi heard about copying Buddhist scriptures, she felt her scalp numb.

It's so tiring to copy books!

She doesn't want to copy books!

But she was not qualified to refuse, so she could only respond with a gritty.

"I obey the order."

The emperor asked someone to bring a set of "Ksitigarbha Sutra".

"You just copy it in Weiyang Palace, when will you finish copying it, and when will you leave."

After saying this, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Gan Fu said, "Your Majesty is tired. Please come with the slave."

Xiao Xixi walked out of the bedroom with a heavy Buddhist book in her arms.

Gan Fu led her into a guest room.

Xiao Xixi put down the Buddhist scriptures, rubbed her arms, and asked, "Where is Baoqin?"
