Because the magpie came back late, he met Concubine Yu who was throwing a tantrum in the house, so the magpie didn't dare to enter the house.
All the people who were serving her were scolded by her, and they all knelt on the ground with their heads lowered and faces dejected.
Seeing the magpie coming in, she raised her eyes coldly and said, "Why are you coming back so late? You didn't even pick it up this month. Hurry up and get it."
The magpie was immediately embarrassed and muttered, "Master, it's already evening. Please go early tomorrow."
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the best at looking at what people are going to eat. Even if they go to get a copy during the day, they will be embarrassed. Make things difficult.
Concubine Jade glared at her and said displeasedly, "Go now, even in the middle of the night, they have to get it, and get two pieces of brocade, blue and light green, and ask the Spinning Department to make two sets of clothes, and tell them I'll send someone to measure the size early tomorrow morning, I'm anxious to wear it."
This is even more difficult for others. It is late at night when everyone else is resting. Concubine Yu is anxious to embarrass others. Even Concubine De, who is so favored, will not embarrass others in the middle of the night.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze?" Concubine Yu frowned.
Magpie had no choice but to say simply, "Our palace is not a place where everyone flatters us. I can still do these errands during the day, let alone at night. No one will buy it."
When Concubine Jade heard this, she immediately became angry. She took the tea cup on the table and threw it over, hitting the magpie on the forehead. The person was knocked down all of a sudden. When the tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, the magpie also fell to the ground. The cracked tea cup dregs pricked the inside of her hand, causing her to cry out in pain.
Seeing this, the kneeling slaves on the ground hurriedly stepped forward to help the magpie and stared at the jade concubine, "Master, although we are slaves, we are not lowly slaves. You are so unreasonable, and the slaves will not accept it."
Concubine Yu originally saw Magpie's injured hand. The moment she saw the blood, she panicked and felt that she had gone too far. But after the slave contradicted her, her guilt immediately disappeared and she snorted, "You are just bitches." Slave, if you can't afford to live outside, why would you enter the palace as a slave? You are born to be a slave to serve others. I have a dragon seed in my belly. Do whatever you are told to do. What will happen if it gets dark? If there is any problem with the dragon species, who among them can afford it?"
As she said that, Concubine Jade looked at the maid who was protecting the magpie, "She hurts her hand and can't go. You go, hurry up."
The maid gritted her teeth and wanted to resist, but due to the power of the Jade Concubine, she could only compromise and help the magpie up. At this time, a small round iron box fell from the magpie's arms. The magpie was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly asked for help. He picked it up, but Concubine Yu shouted angrily, "Don't even move it!"
Then she stepped forward and picked up the small iron box, opened it and looked at it. A smell of medicine came over her, so she quickly closed it and stared at the magpie, "Where did it come from?"
She didn't reward the magpie with anything.
The magpie was silent and did not dare to tell the truth.
"Say! Where did it come from!" Concubine Yu suddenly asked loudly, scaring everyone to their knees.
"My slave picked it up." Magpie said quickly.
She snorted and held the box, "Get it from the Royal Hospital."
After saying that, she threw the box out and hit it in the water tank.
"In the future, if any of you dare to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine again, causing others to misunderstand me, I will not treat you lightly."
After saying that, she sat down on the stool. Seeing that the few people were still, she shouted coldly, "Are you stupid? You go get the monthly silver and brocade, and you come here to serve me. Magpie, you can get out of here. His hands were covered in blood, which made people panic."
The magpie gritted his teeth and could only turn around and walk away.
You don’t need to guess to know that the maid who went to get the monthly silver did not get it, and when she came back she was scolded by Concubine Yu.
When Magpie appeared in front of Lianrong early in the morning, her eyes were swollen and she cried all night. Lianrong watched her hands being roughly bandaged with rough cloth. Lianrong quickly brought her in and let Cuigu treat the wound.
Cui Gu looked at the wound. The cut was quite deep and no blood vessels were hurt. However, the cut on the inside of the thumb on the wrist was sharp and extended to the length of half a finger. There were puncture wounds all over the wrist. Cui Gu felt her heart twisting when she looked at it.
The magpie cried, "Sister Lianrong, please save me, I really can't bear it anymore."
After bandaging, she knelt down and begged Lianrong. She couldn't bear this day anymore.
Lianrong sighed and said warmly, "You can only save yourself. After you go back, be smart and see if there are any letters or tokens in her room. If she has any ideas, you can tell us so that we can help." You are free."
Hearing this, Magpie nodded firmly, "I will, and I will do as you say when I get back."
After bandaging her hand, she applied medicine to other bruises. Magpie was very grateful and strengthened her idea.
Jin Xin just sent An away in the morning.
When she came back, she listened to Lianrong talking about the magpie and sighed, "Concubine Yu didn't even know how to restrain herself at this time. She herself has suffered hardships, but she can't understand the sufferings of people who have suffered a fate. She acted so heartlessly and gave herself Dig your own grave.”
"For a person like her, the more dissatisfied she is, the more she has to prove her superiority to the weak. There have been many batches of people serving her, but no one sincerely serves her." Lianrong frowned.
In fact, the magpie is quite pitiful. It can be said that the servants on Concubine Yu's side are all pitiful. But even if Jin Xin feels that they are pitiful, she cannot take them for her own use. After cooperating with them, she can arrange a good place for them.
The people in her current palace are all following her wholeheartedly, and no matter how bad they are, they will exploit their weaknesses and not worry about betraying the master, so there is not much room for others.
After suffering a loss, she was more careful than anyone else.
A few days later, the magpie came with news, saying that Concubine Yu had changed her style of dressing and was actually peacefully raising her baby in the palace. She read books when she had nothing to do and was much more stable.
Magpie said that she changed her dressing style after coming back from the Queen Mother. It seemed that the Queen Mother gave her a hint.
Jin Xin clicked her tongue twice, "The Emperor and the Queen Mother don't get along, and she still dares to walk with the Queen Mother. The Emperor's remaining affection will be completely consumed by her."
"Then what should we do?" Lianrong asked.
"No need to do it. Let her go to the Queen Mother's house more often. If the little Eunuch Yang in front of the Emperor can talk to him, just ask him to pass the news to the Emperor."
This little Eunuch Yang is Huang Wanshun's adopted son. Jin Xin started to bribe her very early. She didn't dare to test Huang Wanshun. The emperor was in his prime, so she didn't dare to reveal even a little bit of her thoughts. Huang Wanshun grew up serving the emperor. Jin Xin I didn’t really bet that he would help me, so I chose the greedy little Eunuch Yang.
Last time, it was Young Eunuch Yang who gave Huang Wanshun the title deed to Royal Physician Liang's house. She would know about any movement in front of the Royal Family before anyone else.
"One more thing. Magpie said that Concubine Jade had left a grass ring and an auspicious cloud wood hairpin earlier. They looked very precious. Could it be a token of love that she didn't want to throw away?" Lianrong asked cautiously in a low voice.
After hearing this, Jin Xin looked sharply. These things would not be found in the palace. They must have been brought back from Qingxin Temple.
