"Yes, Concubine Jade has a really weird temperament. She likes to hit and pinch people when she has nothing to do. She also likes to embarrass the slaves. Sometimes the slaves don't know that they have done something wrong, so Concubine Yu will beat and scold them. She will face the stone sculptures in the courtyard at night. When she cried, the slaves tried to persuade her, but she also beat the slaves as if she were crazy."
When he heard about the stone sculpture in the courtyard, the emperor's face turned cold, his eyes shot out with murderous intent, and he said, "What else?"
Magpie lifted up the clothes on his waist, revealing a large bruise of bruises, and said, "This is when Concubine Jade was crying to a dry grass ring. The slave tried to persuade her a few words, and then kept pinching the slave, and this , when she was packing her dressing box, she dropped a wooden hairpin, so the Jade Concubine used the hairpin to rub the slave girl, the slave girl couldn't stand it anymore, and everything she did was wrong."
As she spoke, she pulled open her arm again. There were several holes, which looked very scary. The wounds were obviously from a few days ago, and they had not yet scabbed.
Although he had instructed her to stimulate the Jade Concubine, he did not expect Magpie to be so willing to do so. Most people would not have the courage to bear these injuries.
Jin Xin originally didn't expect how hard the magpie would work. She just asked the magpie to give her an excuse to have an attack in front of the emperor, but she didn't expect that she would put in such a big effort.
She immediately said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jade's such abominable behavior is really inhumane. Even people in the palace who are not official slaves have human rights, let alone ordinary palace maids. Although they are palace maids, they cannot be treated with such humiliation. In this case, If you do something wrong, I will definitely punish you as a warning."
The emperor's face naturally didn't look much better, and Concubine Yu surprised him again. Looking back on her past gentleness and kindness, she was all pretending, and she actually did such a thing behind her back.
"Then let your concubine handle it and deal with it strictly." The emperor said.
"Concubine Jade mistreats the palace people, behaves inappropriately, despises human rights, and punishes her for half a year. All supplies are provided according to the concubine's position. Does the emperor think this is okay?"
"Rather than being fined, it is better to be demoted to the rank of concubine and move out of the Jinfeng Yulu Palace. The punishment will remain the same and all the money will be paid to her maids. Magpie, since you don't want to serve her, then you can serve her in front of the emperor." The emperor looked cold. said.
Jin Xin nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Xique, please go back and tell Concubine Jade that this is the emperor's oral order and ask her to implement it today." Jin Xin looked at Xique and said.
The magpie knelt down and thanked him happily, then stood up and left.
After Jin Xin waited for Magpie to go out, she saw that the Emperor's expression was very bad. She immediately stood up and pinched his shoulders, seemingly carelessly, pretending to be coquettish and said, "Just now Magpie said that Concubine Jade beat her because of the grass ring and the wooden hairpin. Unexpectedly The emperor was so poetic in the past and did so many elegant things for the concubine, but the emperor is still partial, and after so long, the emperor has not made a wooden hairpin for the concubine."
The emperor raised his eyelids and thought of what Magpie had just said. Concubine Jade cried while looking at the stone sculpture, and scolded the man for the grass ring and wooden hairpin.
How could he have given her these things? He was busy with official duties all day long, and when he came back from the war, he was fighting with several princes. He only took the time to go to Qingxin Temple, and he had to return to the capital in one day at most. These things, of course, Gao Mingyao did it for him.
Thinking of this, he felt insulted by Gao Mingyao again.
He originally thought that Concubine Yu really knew her fault and he didn't want to be too heartless, but he didn't expect that she would actually play with him!
He stood up suddenly, his whole body full of violence and anger. Jinxin was pushed by his sudden movement and almost couldn't stand, but Lianrong held her up.
When he saw this, he turned around and saw that she was so frightened that her face turned pale. He was a little panicked, and the anger on his body immediately faded away. He stepped forward to hold her hand, and put his big hand on his stomach. Suddenly softened, he said in a warm voice, "I just couldn't calm down my mood just now, and I must have scared you."
Jin Xin was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No, the Emperor is indeed a bit scary like this."
The emperor sighed after hearing this, then smiled bitterly, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Just don't scare you, I want to go out now!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Jin Xin knew that she was going to the Jinfeng Yulu Palace to question Concubine Yu.
"Your Majesty, do we want to see it?" Lian Rong watched the emperor walk out with great momentum, full of anger, and she looked like he was in for a big show.
Jin Xin shook her head, "There's no need to go. What the magpie said has left a thorn in the emperor's heart. As long as we find the grass ring and the wooden hairpin, the outcome of this matter will basically be decided. The emperor doesn't want me to see this." thing."
Lianrong felt a little regretful and said, "That's such a pity."
"Don't be curious about everything. If you know a lot about a lot of things, it's easy to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, which can lead to trouble."
Lianrong nodded again and said, "I understand."
At this time, Magpie returned to the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Palace. When Concubine Yu saw her return, she became angry again, "Why are you running so fast? Are you deliberately making the emperor think that this palace is causing trouble?"
The maid next to her glanced at her and curled her lips. It was clearly her own order to invite the emperor, but now she blamed the magpie for running too fast, and the master was too difficult to serve.
The magpie was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Ms. Jade Concubine, I am here to tell you that you have been demoted and will be fined for half a year. Your money will be used to supplement the slave and others. From now on, you will move out of the Jinfeng Yulu Palace. ."
Concubine Yu stood up after hearing this, "Are you asking for a beating again? Why was I punished?"
Concubine Jade was about to get angry, but then Huang Wanshun's voice from the palace gate said, "The Emperor is here!"
Concubine Jade was overjoyed when she heard this and stared at the magpie, "Your Majesty will never let me go. You bitch, I will make you live or die later!"
After saying that, she walked out and happily came forward to greet the emperor, "Your Majesty, you are here."
When the emperor entered the house, he saw the stone sculpture in the southwest corner. Looking at it this way, it was really special. This stone sculpture, like two flying birds, was made by the craftsman Gao Mingyao found. But looking at it this way, this stone sculpture meant something to them. The feeling of wanting to fly together.
Ignoring Concubine Jade, he sat on the main seat and stared at Concubine Jade with emotionless eyes. The coldness all over her body showed that she was coming for bad reasons. Concubine Yu was not as conceited as before. Seeing this, she immediately knelt down and said, " Your Majesty, no matter what happens, please calm down and I will not be so unreasonable next time."
"Kneel down here." He said coldly.
Concubine Jade didn't know why, but she knelt forward obediently, feeling anxious and cautious, showing a weak and helpless attitude.
He suddenly pinched her chin and forced her to look at him, "When did you start falling in love with him?"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yu's face instantly turned pale, her eyes widened, and she was full of panic, "Your Majesty, I was deceived, and now my heart is full of the Emperor."
"Really? When you look at the stone sculpture in the southwest corner day and night, will you think of Gao Mingyao's tender care for you?"
