Yun Niang's two arms were broken, her face turned pale with pain, she knelt on the ground, curled up in pain.
"No...I didn't..."
She denied it repeatedly, but could not explain why she was hiding on the beam in the middle of the night, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the Queen of Heaven.
Jiang Xinyue withdrew from the emperor's arms, took the hot water from Shuangjiang to "soothe her shock", and said slowly: "Did Concubine Shi send you here?"
Shi Fei?
Yun Niang glanced at her in surprise, then lowered her head, trying to hide the person behind her with silence.
Soon, Wang Dequan led people to Yanxi Palace: "Empress Shi Fei, the emperor invites you to go to Kunning Palace for questioning."
The nails that were dug into the palms of the hands broke with a "snap", and the bare flesh could be seen bleeding between the fingers.
Concubine Shi smiled reluctantly: "I have already gone to bed. My clothes are so disheveled that I am not suitable to meet the emperor. Can you please allow me to change my clothes first?"
"Shi Fei, please help yourself, but hurry up, the emperor is waiting!"
Concubine Shi changed into a stone blue dress, let her hair down without any decoration, and quickly walked out: "Thank you for waiting, my lord."
The night was silent. Concubine Shi followed Wang Dequan and looked at the back of Wang Dequan's head, feeling that he looked disgusting.
"The prince has served the emperor for many years and has never accepted bribes. I would like to know, what benefits has the Queen Mother given you? My family is much more powerful than the Jiang family. If she can afford it, I may not be inferior to her. , Why does father-in-law insist on getting on her boat?"
Among all the concubines in the palace, who wouldn’t want to bribe Wang Dequan?
But Wang Dequan was the emperor's confidant, and no one dared to say this without complete assurance.
If he tells the emperor everything, he will fall out of favor before he is favored.
What exactly did Jiang Xinyue promise to this old guy?
Wang De didn't even turn around: "My servant has never been bribed by the Queen of Heaven, and the Queen of Heaven has never promised anything to me. Everything I do is just in line with the emperor's wishes. Whoever the emperor wants to protect, I will protect him." Whoever the emperor wants to help, the servant will help him. Isn’t it better not to make assumptions?”
The world has really changed. A mere eunuch dares to threaten a concubine.
Do you really think that their Zhenbei General Mansion is a fuel-efficient lamp?
Shi Fei snorted coldly, knocked Wang Dequan away from the front, and quickly left him behind.
If you don't want to say it, just say you don't want to say it. What kind of high-sounding excuse is there?
The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit. The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the benefit of others.
Without benefits, how can there be gratuitous help?
"Father-in-law!"
The little eunuch next to Wang Dequan looked angry: "The Queen of Heaven is very polite to you, she..."
"Ai!"
Wang Dequan raised his hand to stop him from talking: "She is rushing to die, what are we going to do to stop her?"
And asked him why he was helping the Queen of Heaven?
Isn't she the answer herself?
Because the Queen of Heaven treated him as a normal old man and gave him the respect and dignity he had never received before.
He is already the first person among the emperor's personal attendants. He lacks nothing but dignity and respect.
He doesn't need people to look down on him, but at least... no one is allowed to look down on him.
The Queen of Heaven treats everyone in the palace equally and never thinks that the maids and eunuchs are inferior. As long as everyone does their own thing well, life will be easy.
Which of the maids and eunuchs in the Chengqian Palace does not envy the magpie and Shuangjiang? Who doesn't want to be Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xiangzi?
The Queen of Heaven is a very protective person.
Now that she has become her confidant, she can be a little more arrogant in front of the emperor.
In this way, the emperor always praised, saying that the servants in Kunning Palace were more lively and agile than the servants in other palaces.
Other palaces also want to be lively and smart!
But the emperor would think it was offensive, and he would be dragged out and beaten to death with just two words.
When Concubine Shi arrived at Kunning Palace, she still saw Jiang Xinyue lying on the bed and the emperor sitting beside the bed.
"I, my concubine, meet the emperor..."
"Snapped!"
"hiss--"
Shi Fei squatted halfway down, and the small porcelain bottle suddenly shattered at her feet. The fragments flew up and cut her cheek.
Meng Qingyu pushed Yun Niang to kneel down: "Your Majesty, this person has confessed that he was ordered by Concubine Shi to come to Kunning Palace to harm the Queen of Heaven."
Concubine Shi showed a shocked and confused expression: "What? I instigated her? I don't even know who she is, how can I instigate her?"
Yun Niang looked up at her: "Empress Shi Fei, how can you turn your back on me? It was you who said that as long as you kill the Empress of Heaven, you can replace her as the queen, and you still resent me for not giving enough medicine. Let her bleed to death, and order me to continue until I don’t do it, so I’ll find an opportunity to kill her, right?”
"What on earth are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it."
Concubine Shi knelt at the emperor's feet, looked up and cried: "Your Majesty, I really don't know her, I really don't know who she is!"
The magpie pulled a little palace maid forward and said, "So, Concubine Shi, why did you bribe Eunuch Hong from the Jingshi Room and let him beat the tea serving maid from Kunning Palace?"
The little palace maid who was pulled over had not only injuries on the corners of her mouth, but also bruises and swelling on the corners of her eyes and cheeks, and her cheeks were half swollen.
He was obviously beaten badly.
Eunuch Hong was also pushed to the ground, and he threw out the bag of silver without even daring to raise his head: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! I don't dare to do it anymore. It's Concubine Shi who wants me to teach the little boy of Kunning Palace a lesson." My maid, I was blinded by lard. I am guilty. Please forgive me. I am afraid of offending Concubine Shi, so I agreed. Please forgive me."
After begging for mercy, he dared to raise his head. When he saw the face of the little palace maid, he moved his mouth in shock: "No..."
"woo woo woo woo……"
But the little palace maid covered her face and cried bitterly: "You deserve to die! Your Majesty is unconscious now. You still caused such a thing. You deserve to die. Please punish me..."
The perpetrators cry out for forgiveness and beg for mercy, but the victims demand punishment. How can there be such a thing in this world?
Concubine Shi grabbed the emperor's trouser leg: "No...that's not the case. Your Majesty...concubine...I just want to teach this maid who wet my shoes, not..."
"If Imperial Concubine Shi had not harbored a grudge against my mother-in-law for a long time, how could she beat someone like this because of a small mistake made by the palace maid? In the final analysis, it is still because she hates our mother-in-law that she is so malicious to the people of Kunning Palace. Go big!”
Shuang Jiang's words defined Concubine Shi's nature of hurting the little palace maid as the worst.
Because of hatred and even wanting to kill Jiang Xinyue, she vented her anger on the palace maids of Kunning Palace over such a trivial matter.
