Chapter 23 Ying'an was strangled
"Your Majesty, Cui Ju's death really has nothing to do with me. Please investigate..."
Mi Chun's miserable cry came out.
The smell of blood wrapped in the cool autumn breeze penetrated into the noses of Concubine Shu and Nanny Chen.
Both of them were stunned.
Mi Chun!
The Queen just left the study and came directly to Chengqian Palace!
Someone had just died in Chengqian Palace early in the morning, and Mi Chun was so miserable now. Nanny Chen's voice was a little trembling, and there was also a hint of hatred in it.
"Your Majesty, just now outside the study, the Queen saw you being summoned into the study by the Emperor. She must have resentment in her heart, so she used the Cui Ju incident to embarrass the people around you. Your Majesty, Mi Chun was wronged!"
Tears welled up in Concubine Shu's eyes, but no tears fell.
She said solemnly: "Don't worry about me when you go in later. Find Ying'an and protect her."
Nanny Chen nodded vigorously: "I know."
When the master and servant saw the scene in Chengqian Palace, their pupils shrank and their faces sank.
Nanny Chen held Concubine Shu's hands tightly.
Mi Chun was lying on a bench, his whole body was bloody and dying.
Even the ground was covered with bright red blood.
Ying'an, who was being held in the arms of Noble Mu, stared at Concubine Shu and Nanny Chen.
[Mother is finally here, hurry up! The Empress found out that Michun and Cuiju had an old grudge, and Noble Mu exaggerated it, saying that Cuiju was a maid who grew up with Grand Tutor He and was highly valued. She begged the Empress to make a decision for Cuiju, saying, Mother, if you don't take action, Michun will be beaten to death! The
Queen also raised her eyes lazily and greeted with a smile: "Oh, it's Concubine Shu. I thought you were going to stay in the study and couldn't come out."
Concubine Shu listened to Ying'an's inner voice, frowned, and said coldly: "The Queen beat my personal maid in my palace, but didn't tell me why Michun was punished. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. The Queen did this. Doesn't she take me seriously? And she doesn't take the Emperor seriously?"
The Queen laughed and her voice became cold: "Concubine Shu You are really eloquent. No wonder the emperor likes you. Tell me, when did I not take the emperor seriously? I am the empress of the central palace. Can it be that I cannot punish even a maid? But you, Concubine Shu, have such a dishonest maid by your side, but you still keep her by your side and even let her look after the princess. Do you want the emperor's bloodline to learn those dirty, mean and vicious methods? "
At the end of her speech, the queen slapped the tea table beside her in anger, as if she was really angry.
Noble Mu immediately knelt down with Ying'an in her arms, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, calm down. Concubine Shu must not know that Mi Chun is such a person, otherwise how could she leave the princess to Mi Chun's care."
Concubine Shu looked at Noble Mu coldly. Was she acting like this just to get Mi Chun away from her?
She was thinking deeply.
[Ah! Mother! He Muer, this damn guy pinched me!]
Ying'an's inner voice rang out, and a trace of blood flashed between Concubine Shu's eyebrows.
The next moment, Ying'an started crying.
Sharp, noisy, and miserable.
The Queen looked at Ying'an with care, stood up and took Ying'an from Mu Guiren's arms: "Shu Fei, Ying'an also hates Mi Chun. I have found out that Mi Chun has been doing evil in your palace, making trouble, and even trying to frame Mu Guiren. You are also an old man in the palace, so you naturally know what the consequences of harming concubines are. I beat her with a stick, which is already a mercy outside the law. I hope you will not rely on the emperor's favor to protect your own people."
She said it in a high-sounding manner, and Ying'an in her arms cried bitterly.
[It hurts so much! ]
Shu Fei didn't have the time to listen to the Queen's words, her heart was on Ying'an.
Mi Chun also looked up at her, tears in her eyes, and pleaded miserably: "Madam Shufei, I swear that everything the Empress said has nothing to do with me. I am loyal to the Empress and have no second thoughts!"
Shufei was distracted, lowered her eyes and looked at Mi Chun, and said, "I believe you."
She said loudly, which made all the people in Chengqian Palace feel warm in their hearts.
In this harem, the lives of palace maids and eunuchs are the most worthless.
It is common for them to die or get injured.
To these masters, their deaths are not worth mentioning compared to cats and dogs.
But Madam Shufei said that she believed it.
These four short words show that she is a very good person. It has nothing to do with family background or being favored, but only with her.
Kind, benevolent, gentle, and strong-hearted.
At this moment, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Chengqian Palace looked at Concubine Shu, with more or less some enthusiasm in their eyes.
To make a living in this harem, if you follow a master like this, you can live a stable life in the future.
Mi Chun, who was lying on the bench, had given up, but now looking at Concubine Shu, tears of hope filled her eyes.
Suddenly they fell.
Like beads with a broken string, they fell one by one without any cost.
"My queen, with your words, I can rest in peace even if I die here."
The queen was most uncomfortable with this drama of deep affection between master and servant. In the harem, concubines could not decide their own life and death, so how could they really take the death of maids and eunuchs to heart. Concubine
Shu is really good at winning people's hearts with this trick.
"The evidence is solid. Does Concubine Shu want to interfere with my work in the harem?"
The Queen hugged Ying'an, and because of her anger, her hands unconsciously tightened.
Ying'an cried even harder.
[You can't say a word when you bully me! When I grow up, I will turn all of you into turtles, keep you in a fish tank and race you! Whoever runs slower will be beaten with fifty sticks! ]
Ying'an complained crazily.
Concubine Shu was so distressed that she almost cried.
She stepped forward and stood in front of the empress: "Ying'an is still young and can't bear to see this kind of scene. I will take her away first. If the emperor knew that the empress took Ying'an to see such a bloody scene, I'm afraid he will be angry with you. By then, not to mention the power to assist the six palaces, I'm afraid the empress dowager will blame you!"
The empress's eyes were stern: "You threaten me!"
Shufei said nothing, stepped forward and took Ying'an back by herself.
The Queen had no intention of harming Ying'an. Everyone knew that Ying'an was the Emperor's favorite. If anything happened to Ying'an, she would be deposed from the position of Queen.
She looked at Concubine Shu with hatred, her eyes full of venom.
When Nanny Chen saw Ying'an being carried back, she immediately took a big step forward and took Ying'an back from Concubine Shu's arms. She went
to Concubine Shu's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, just move forward. Princess Ying'an is here with me. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect her!"
After that, she held Ying'an and retreated to the back.
Without any worries, Concubine Shu was naturally not afraid of anything. She walked up to Mi Chun's side, looked at the eunuch who had just executed the execution, and said in a deep voice: "You used private punishment on my personal maid in my palace and beat her half to death. The Empress did not find out the truth and was blinded by the traitor. Instead of admonishing her, you helped the tyrant and slapped me in the face. Aren't you afraid of offending me?"
The eunuchs naturally knew that Concubine Shu was quite favored by the emperor.
Since Concubine Chun lost power, Concubine Shu was the only one in the harem, and no one dared to touch her eyebrows, but who dared to disobey the Empress's orders?
"The Emperor is here--"
Wei Weiran's sharp voice rang out, and everyone in Chengqian Palace panicked.
Including the Empress.
She had just seen Concubine Shu being called into Yu's study alone, and she was furious, so she came directly to Chengqian Palace. Concubine Mu fanned the flames, so she executed her in Chengqian Palace, intending to torture her into confessing and pry some evidence against Concubine Shu from her mouth.
Assist in managing the power of the six palaces!
She, the queen, is still fine, when will it be Concubine Shu's turn to make decisions in the harem!
But the emperor suddenly appeared at this time, could it be...
