Chapter 101 Deliberately Provoking
Seeing Concubine Shu Gui’s face suddenly change, Ping’er immediately buried her face and kowtowed several times.
“My Lady Concubine, I had no choice in the previous incidents in the mansion. I was blind and bumped into someone around you. Your Majesty is magnanimous. Please forgive me.”
She said it with great piety, just like Yuanzhi who was hungry that day, longing for redemption and forgiveness.
Concubine Shu Gui turned to the side, unwilling to look at her.
The voice was unprecedentedly cold, as if it penetrated the ice and snow and came across the boundary.
“Mi Chun, hit him!”
Mi Chun was so angry that his teeth itched, and he would not be happy unless he hit him. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and slapped him with all his strength.
Bang!
Five bloody marks appeared on Ping'er's face, and her cheek was scratched by Ping'er's nails.
She was slapped to the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by hung their heads, not daring to look, and wished they could plug their ears and not hear anything.
Concubine Shugui leaned to the side, and after not hearing anything for a long time, she said in a deep voice: "Mi Chun, are you out of strength now?"
Upon hearing this, Mi Chun went forward and pulled up Ping'er who was lying on the ground, and continued to beat her.
Snap!
Another slap.
Yin Ying's eyes fell on Concubine Shugui, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping, she knelt down and walked forward without hesitation, pulling Concubine Shugui's trousers.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I didn't know that it was from your palace. If I knew, I would not be so harsh. I hope Your Highness will spare me and my maid for the sake of our sisterly love."
Concubine Shugui lowered her eyes and glanced at Yin Danying at her feet with a cold look.
Yin Danying was clearly deliberately provoking her. She knew very well that there was no sisterly love between the two of them. If there was, it should be the kind of love between sisters who wanted to kill each other. She said this, probably to confirm her image as a spoiled and arrogant concubine who was a scoundrel.
"You and I are sisters, how can there be such a deep love between us? Are you joking, Yin Danying? Everyone in the capital knows the reputation of your aunt. She almost caused the death of my mother and my two children. It is reasonable for me to do so. If I call you a sister, it would be a great rebellion. But you have entered the palace and become my sister. Then I, as a noble concubine, have the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. If I see such injustice in the palace, and you use the emperor's status to abuse your power and beat and scold the palace maids and eunuchs at will, I will certainly not allow it. I only beat Ping'er just now, but forgot about you!"
Yin Danying really didn't expect that Shu Guifei would directly bring up the matter. She looked at Shu Guifei with hatred in her eyes: "Your Majesty, do you know that your family is not ashamed..."
Before she finished speaking, Shu Guifei slapped her.
Bang!
This time, she used all her strength. She
was arrogant and powerful.
Yin Daying's cheeks were red and swollen, and she fell to the ground and fainted.
Concubine Shu Gui sneered and said, "Come here, send Yin Daying back to Lu Yin Zhai. Ping'er will be sent to Xinzheku for hard labor. If anyone asks, just say it was my order." It
was the first time that Mi Chun saw the queen who was so decisive. His eyes were shining, and he knelt down and said, "Yes, queen."
The accompanying Xiao Wuzi sent Yin Daying back to Lu Yin Zhai in a sedan chair. Everyone looked at her along the way.
When they arrived at Luyinzhai, Xiao Wuzi stood beside the sedan chair and said calmly: "Yin Danying, we have arrived at Luyinzhai. If you don't want everyone in the palace to see you being carried back, then get up and go in by yourself. If we carry you back and call the imperial physician, and if they find out that Yin Danying is pretending, you will be laughed at in the palace in the future."
The people along the way have already been lost.
If she pretends again, it will be impolite.
Who knows, it may rise to the level of framing the imperial concubine, which will be a blow to Yin Danying.
For now, she is still right.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yin Danying held her head and woke up slowly.
"Where am I?"
Xiao Wuzi lowered her head in understanding and said nothing.
Ping'er, who was following beside her, looked embarrassed, but still stepped forward and said, "My lady, we have arrived at Luyinzhai, let's go."
Her voice was shallow, as if she had completely forgotten what had just happened.
Yinda agreed, pretending not to know, and took her hand to get off the sedan chair, then turned around and said to Xiao Wuzi, "Thank you, eunuch."
Xiao Wuzi nodded, but said nothing.
After the master and servant entered the palace, Xiao Wuzi spat outside Guangling Palace: "Bah, how unlucky, the queen is so delicate! How could you be so mean to her? You dare to set a trap for her! I want to see how you can shut up the public!"
Yin Danying originally wanted to keep things quiet and let the palace maids and eunuchs spread rumors, implying that Shu Guifei was spoiled and bullied others, but before she could give orders, another wave of rumors came out of the palace.
It is said that Yin Danying had framed the queen many times before entering the palace, and even almost killed her because of her own selfishness. If the emperor had not been there and saved the queen by accident, I am afraid that the queen would have died by now.
The rumor was very detailed.
It was passed on from mouth to mouth, and finally it became the love story of the emperor and the imperial concubine. They were a talented man and a beautiful woman, destined to be together, and continued their previous love in the palace, full of love.
Yin agreed and became angry because of shame, but he was just angry and could not do anything.
Emperor Qingling, on the other hand, rushed to Guangling Palace after hearing this.
When the dragon sedan arrived, the imperial concubine was having a meal.
"The emperor is here--"
Wei Weiran's voice rang out, and the imperial concubine hurriedly stood up and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, and may your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Her voice was clear and leisurely, which made Emperor Qingling, who had been worried all the way, put his heart at ease.
"Yao He, are you okay?" Concubine
Shu Gui shook her head: "I am fine. Has the emperor had his meal? Why don't we go together?"
Emperor Qing Ling coughed dryly and was a little embarrassed: "Rumors are spreading in the harem. I thought you would be troubled and sad. After all, you escaped to the room where I and the Prime Minister were discussing matters that day, so the Prime Minister punished you. I was afraid that you would touch on something that hurt your heart, so I wanted to come and see you. Forget about having your meal. I will go to Concubine Xian later."
Concubine Shu Gui lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, slowly saying: "In this case, I will not keep the emperor."
Emperor Qingling bent down to help her up, and said lightly: "If you are wronged, you must tell me. I know everything about today. I have wronged you."
Concubine Shu Gui looked up at him: "Your Majesty, don't you blame me for taking advantage of your favor to bully others?"
Emperor Qingling pulled her to sit down and sat next to her.
Holding her hand, he said: "I have always known about your days in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Concubine Lian and her daughter have caused you a lot of suffering. I understand it all."
Concubine Shu Gui pressed Emperor Qingling's hand coquettishly, let go, turned around, and did it in one breath.
"If the emperor knew, why did he let Yin Dingying enter the palace?"
Emperor Qingling laughed out loud when he saw her like a little bird.
"The Prime Minister has opened his mouth, so there is no reason for me not to respond. Now you are the imperial concubine and she is the concubine. There is a difference between the high and the low. Since you are unwilling to accept it, I will make you a promise. She will never surpass you in this life."
