Chapter 43 I Will Help You
You Baolin's expression froze, and he frowned and said, "It's you..."
Liu Yuetang smiled lightly and said coldly, "Why, did You Baolin forget the rules for a moment when he saw me?"
"Liu Zheng, how should those who fail to show respect to those above them be punished?"
Liu Zheng nodded and spoke clearly, "My lady, if a concubine does not pay respect to her superior, it is disrespectful to her superior. If it is the first offense, the concubine will be confined for half a month and required to copy the palace rules a hundred times."
You Baolin bit his lip slightly and said, "Even though you are higher in rank than me, you are just a talented person and have no right to deal with me."
"So You Baolin is aware of the palace rules?"
"When you lynched me, why didn't you ever consider whether you were qualified?"
You Baolin's face changed, his eyes widened in anger, and he glared at Liu Yuetang fiercely.
Liu Yuetang laughed instead of getting angry, her voice exceptionally clear and cold: "You Baolin knows that your expression is very similar to that of your good sister in the cold palace."
"By the way, you sisters have such a good relationship, have you gone to the cold palace to see her? Jiang has nothing around her right now, and if You Baolin were to go and keep her company, she would definitely be very happy."
Looking at Liu Yuetang's smug face, You Baolin couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. His clenched fists turned slightly white from being too strong, and he wanted to raise his hand to teach her a lesson.
Ji Yunv, who was standing by, naturally understood the deeper meaning of Liu Yuetang's words, and she inadvertently pulled You Baolin's sleeve.
Then she bowed respectfully to Liu Yuetang and said, "Talented Lady Liu, it has been a long time since you have dressed so brightly. I and You Baolin were so stunned that we forgot to greet you. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me and You for this time."
Liu Yuetang knew from the beginning that Ji Yunu's thoughts were much deeper than those of You Baolin, Jiang Ruoxi and others. Now it seems that she is a person who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
"Princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as commoners. Ji Yunu and You Baolin were forgiven for their mistakes, so why was a palace maid subjected to such a severe punishment? Could it be that this palace maid committed some heinous crime?"
As she spoke, her gaze slowly fell on Taxue and Su Yunu.
Su Yu Nu understood and explained, "You are unaware that one of my maids happened to pick the flowers that You Baolin liked, which is why You Baolin was furious and wanted to punish Taxue with a stick."
Liu Yuetang gave her a reassuring look, then said, "The Empress is the master of the harem. Why don't you tell her everything that happened today and let her handle it."
"You Baolin, Ji Yunu, is this okay?"
You Baolin pursed his red lips, the anger in his heart growing more and more intense.
She naturally understood what Liu Yuetang was planning.
If this matter were brought to the attention of the Queen, whether it was the matter of the palace maid or the fact that Liu Yuetang had wrongly accused him, he would be the one who would suffer.
Who knows, you might even be confined to copy the palace rules.
If this gets to the emperor's ears, wouldn't she completely lose favor?
At this time, Liu Yuetang was the emperor's favorite concubine, and she had even broken the precedent of being promoted twice in one day. If the queen had any selfish motives, she would definitely favor this bitch.
She can't be impulsive anymore!
As she spoke, she winked at Ji Yunv beside her without leaving a trace.
Ji Yu Nu understood and said respectfully, "The Empress is already very hard-working in managing the affairs of the harem. We should not trouble her with such a small matter. Otherwise...Liu Cairen, I, and Sister You should each take a step back and settle the matter peacefully to maintain the peace of the harem."
"I will definitely remember Lady Liu's kindness."
She lowered her head and chest, and her attitude was so sincere that it was impossible to refuse.
However, Liu Yuetang guessed this result from the beginning.
She dug this pit and made You Baolin jump into it, firstly to make her let Taxue go, and secondly to give him a warning and scare him.
She would not bring this matter to the Queen, otherwise her impression of being calm and composed would be destroyed in the heart of the dog emperor.
Furthermore, even if she were to punish him, it would only be house arrest. If she wanted to take action, her goal would be to eradicate him completely.
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly: "It seems that Ji Yunu is much sweeter and more sensible than You Baolin. You Baolin should learn more."
You Baolin's face turned pale and blue, and he glanced at Ji Yunv with sharp eyes.
Ji Yu Nu forced a smile and said, "Talented Lady Liu, you are too kind. This is because I and the others neglected etiquette. We should correct our mistakes in time."
"Then for Ji Yunu's sake, I won't bother with it any more."
Ji Yunv's brows relaxed, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yuetang took Su Yunu's hand and left Taoyuan.
Taxue felt reassured and followed closely behind him.
Watching Liu Yuetang's beautiful figure gradually disappear, You Baolin's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he stared at Ji Yunv fiercely.
"You are a good flattering dog."
Ji Yunv pursed her lips tightly, her voice filled with bitterness and sorrow: "Sister, if I hadn't said this in the situation just now, I'm afraid that Liu Cairen would not let you and me go."
"I don't understand. We're only one or two ranks below her, so why do you see her being so cautious? I'm warning you, if there's a next time, don't try to stop me, or I'll give her a good beating to vent my anger."
As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in You Baolin's eyes.
Cousin! Yes, she wanted her cousin to make the decision for her.
…
Over there, two people were strolling in the imperial garden.
Su Yunv suddenly stopped and saluted Liu Yuetang solemnly: "Sister, thank you for saving Taxue's life."
Liu Yuetang quickly reached out and helped her up: "It's just a trivial matter. Between you and me, there's no need for so much formality."
Su Yunv shook her head: "To me, Taxue is not a palace maid. She has been with me through hardships since she was a child. In my heart, she has long been my biological sister."
Taxue hid behind Su Yunu, her eyes blurred with tears, and she bit her lips tightly.
Liu Zheng quickly handed her a handkerchief.
Only they understand how fortunate it is for a slave to be treated so well by their master.
Liu Yuetang was also moved when she looked at Liu Zheng, and the same was true for her and Liu Zheng.
"Sister Su, only by becoming strong can you protect those around you."
"If you remain unloved, you will never be able to make a name for yourself. Not only will Taxue be in trouble, but you yourself will also be in danger."
Su Yunu was slightly stunned: "I understand what my sister said, but... I don't know how to gain the emperor's favor."
"The last time I was in the middle of my night with the Emperor, I was snatched away by Consort Zhao. I became a laughing stock in the palace. The Emperor hasn't summoned me since then... I'm afraid he's long forgotten me."
As she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, depression and inferiority complex entwined around her heart like vines.
Liu Yuetang held her hand and warmed her with the warmth of her palm: "Where you fell, there you must get up."
“Failure is a process, not a result.”
"I'll help you."
At this moment, Su Yunu's eyes turned slightly red, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
She saw the determined light in Liu Yuetang's eyes, and also saw her own hope.
She nodded heavily, "Thank you, Tang'er."
