In the past, Concubine De would definitely help the Queen at this time, but today, Concubine De did not make any movement. She just stood quietly by the side, as if she did not feel the tense situation in the mourning hall.
At this time, Concubine Nian stood up and said, "Noble Concubine, the Queen has lost her beloved daughter, so she must be in a bad mood. Please understand the Queen for once."
Concubine Li slapped Concubine Nian in the face with her backhand. Concubine Nian covered her face, unable to believe that Concubine Li dared to hit her: "Even though you are a concubine, you cannot hit me at will."
Concubine Li looked cold and said, "I'll hit you if you want to. If you have any problem, hit me back!"
"How dare you, how dare you!" The Queen could no longer bear it when she saw Concubine Li's rampant behavior. "Concubine Li attacked the concubines in the harem for no reason. How audacious! Someone, take Concubine Li away and calm her down."
Seeing several maids approaching to arrest her, Concubine Li scolded, "Who dares to touch the palace?"
"Concubine Nian is also a high-ranking concubine in the palace. You can't do anything to her unless she makes a mistake. How can the Queen allow you to be so presumptuous?"
Concubine Li only brought Lanxi out. Lanxi wanted to stop the maids, but was caught by other palace maids first. The maids were very cruel to Concubine Li. Concubine Li did not even struggle, but just let the maids push her, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Above the mourning hall, Imperial Concubine Li, who was dressed in a bright-colored palace dress and looked elegant and graceful, was like a blooming red rose, brilliant and vivid at first, but was trampled into the mud in an instant.
Hearing her wanton laughter, the queen shouted angrily, "Noble Concubine Li is acting like a madman. Go to the palace and shut her up."
Those maids got the Queen's order and acted more arrogantly. They were the Queen's people, and now that they had the chance, wouldn't they torture her?
Concubine Li just let them do what they wanted. As they did so, the hair crown on her head fell to the ground, and her long hair fell down, looking extremely beautiful.
Handan couldn't bear to watch and wanted to go over to help, but Su Chenyu held her back: "Handan, we are only here to burn incense for Feng Feixu, and we can just watch the rest. If we start fighting, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
After Su Chenyu's reminder, Handan shuddered and realized that she was impulsive just now.
The next second, Jiapin rushed out, rushed to the side of Concubine Li, and pushed the maids out: "This is the Concubine. If you dare to disrespect the Concubine again, the Emperor will not let you servants go."
Seeing that Jiapin was helping Concubine Li, the Queen's anger was ignited again: "Take Jiapin to her side."
Upon seeing this, the palace maids immediately tried to pull Jiapin away. During the struggle, someone pushed Jiapin, and she fell backwards, bumping into Concubine Nian who was standing nearby. Concubine Nian was unable to dodge and fell to the side, unexpectedly hitting the corner of the coffin, and blood slowly flowed down her forehead.
This scene made everyone stop what they were doing.
The queen saw that her father had knocked Concubine Nian down and knocked Concubine Jia down, and she asked sternly, "Concubine Jia, what are your intentions?"
"Empress, I didn't mean to do that. I just bumped into you accidentally..." While Jiapin was still explaining, she heard a palace maid's voice reporting from outside. It was King Xixia, Feng Zhuohua, and Feng Zhaolin who came over.
As soon as he entered the mourning hall, seeing such a ridiculous scene in front of him, anger flashed in the eyes of the King of Xixia, but when he spoke, his tone was calm and frightening: "Queen, what's going on here?"
The Queen stepped aside, revealing Concubine Nian with an injured forehead: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Jia who pushed Concubine Nian down, causing Concubine Nian to bump into the coffin and get injured."
The King of Xixia only then paid attention to Concubine Nian. He looked at the wound on Concubine Nian's forehead, and panic flashed in his eyes: "Why don't you call the imperial physician quickly!"
