Chapter 170: Beating a Palace Maid to Death

Chunqi was trembling and didn't dare to speak.

Lian Jieyu seemed to have lost her soul and murmured, "Do you think so highly of her... What's so good about her? She's just a bumbling, pretentious bitch. She doesn't have the emperor in her heart at all! She's not sincere to the emperor at all! Why can't the emperor see it, why can't he see it, wuwuwu..."

Lian Jieyu started crying sadly.

She loved the emperor deeply, so she naturally knew what a woman's eyes and expression would look like if she truly loved a man. Love could not be hidden. Apart from her, no one in the palace truly loved the emperor!

Therefore, she was indignant on behalf of the emperor and felt sorry for him, thinking that those concubines were not worthy of the emperor's favor at all!

Therefore, she always disliked them, always mocked them, and now Wuchen mocked them.

But she is also a human being, she also has desires and wants to be rewarded.

The Emperor not only failed to understand her, but also repeatedly scolded her, hated her, and belittled her. How could she not be heartbroken and feel wronged?

Compared to Xu Lanshan, she felt like a joke!

Chunqi saw her sobbing and crying so sadly, which was not like her flamboyant master at all. She was frightened and panicked and didn't know what to do!

When Nanny Xi came in and saw this, her face changed. She quickly ordered her to leave and stepped forward herself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Don't be sad, don't be sad! You still have the Empress Dowager and the Fu family. It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine!"

Lian Jieyu raised her head and sneered, "Although I may be a bit willful and domineering, I'm not stupid. I was just being stubborn and deceiving myself before. This palace, this palace has no future, not a future!"

"Your Majesty—"

"Just step back. What's the point of saying more?"

"Empress!"

“Back off!”

Nanny Xi hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh in her heart and retreat, "Yes..."

Lian Jieyu's tears flowed faster and harder, filled with a despair and sadness that made her heart feel as if it had died.

Regarding Concubine Deng's matter, she knew that the emperor had finally suspected her.

He wasn't wrong in his suspicions. She had instructed Concubine Deng to drug the emperor, and then she would "inadvertently" appear at the right time to detoxify the emperor...

You can't blame her for this, she means well!

If she was lucky enough to get pregnant, it would naturally be a great joy! Even if she couldn't get pregnant, she would definitely seize the opportunity to serve the emperor well and make him addicted to her and never forget her...

But she never expected that before she could "inadvertently" intercept, the emperor had already discovered something was wrong and then hurried back to Ganyuan Palace!

He also summoned that bitch Xu Lanshan!

She was furious, resentful and annoyed, but she never expected that before she could settle the score with Xu Lanshan or teach her a lesson, the emperor summoned her first!

The rumors in the palace that she had "accidentally met" the emperor in the imperial garden were totally false. It was not an accidental encounter, but the emperor had secretly sent someone to call her there.

She was very anxious at the time and was afraid that the emperor would know that he had killed Concubine Deng. She was actually relieved when the emperor summoned her!

There was no evidence, so what if the emperor had some suspicions? As long as he refused to admit it and cried a little, the emperor might completely dispel his doubts.

He was willing to take the initiative to summon me, which was the biggest turning point! It showed that he was at least willing to listen to my opinion.

But she never expected that he didn't mention anything about Concubine Deng at all.

If he doesn't mention it, there's no way I can bring it up. Otherwise, wouldn't that be self-incriminating?

Afterwards, he found fault with me and scolded me harshly, punishing me. I thought being punished by kneeling in the imperial garden for an hour was humiliating enough, but who knew that not only that, he even demoted his status!

She barged into the Qianyuan Palace and angrily demanded an explanation from him, but all she received was his cold, sharp gaze and tone: "You know it in your heart! Don't deny it. I don't want to hear any nonsense, and I don't want to see your hypocritical face! Do you really think I know nothing about Concubine Deng's affairs? You have the ability to die without any evidence, but I know the truth in my heart, so what can you do? Do you think I will pretend nothing happened, you evil woman!"

Lian Jieyushi was struck by lightning at that time, her face turned pale and tears streamed down her face. She blurted out excuses for herself, but Emperor Yuan Yong sneered and walked away, not caring about her at all!

She fell to the ground crying, but he didn't even glance at her.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother invited him over. No one knew what they talked about, but the Queen Mother remained silent and did not comfort her.

Obviously... in this matter, the Queen Mother believed him and acquiesced to his actions, including his demotion of her status.

At that time, she was already terrified and afraid that even with the Queen Mother and her family, she would not be able to gain his forgiveness. Who knew...

She was in dire straits, with a miserable wind and rain, and she was in dire straits. Xu Lanshan was diagnosed with pregnancy and was crowned as the imperial concubine. She was rising to the top level, but what about herself? She had fallen to a point where her future was hopeless!

What is this?

To be honest, no matter who the person who surpasses her is, it shouldn't be Xu Lanshan!

It’s Xu Lanshan... How embarrassing for her!

But no matter what she does, the fact remains unchanged!

What else can she do except hate?

Lian Jieyu cried and cried, the anger in her heart was beyond words!

If at this moment she was only resentful and jealous, wishing Xu Lanshan would have a miscarriage immediately or be banished to the cold palace, then two days later, when she was wandering around the garden in a distracted mood and accidentally heard two little palace maids laughing and mocking her behind the flower trees, Concubine Lian was really furious!

No matter how unfavored or downtrodden she was, she was not someone who could be laughed at by two little palace maids!

What made her even more furious and intolerable was that the two little palace maids not only laughed at her, but also praised Empress Chenfei for being so lucky!

How could Concubine Lian stand this? She flew into a rage, rushed forward, slapped the two maids in the face, and scolded them harshly.

She was caught gossiping behind others' backs by the real person, and she was already panicking and frightened. And the real person was none other than Concubine Lian.

Who in the palace didn't know Concubine Lian's temper? Being caught speaking ill of Concubine Lian was as terrifying as the sky falling.

The two young palace maids knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. They could not feel the pain of the slaps on their faces. They were terrified and could only cry out, "Please spare my life!"

At this moment, they could not say anything except "spare my life".

But how could the furious Concubine Lian possibly let them go? She stepped forward and kicked each of the two young palace maids, knocking them to the ground. She sneered viciously, "Who do you two bitches think you are? How dare you speak ill of me behind my back and laugh at my jokes! Bitch, slave! I want you dead! Come, drag them away and have them beaten to death!"
