Xia Changzai became excited again.
However, Qingliu came back soon and brought everyone present with him.
"Your Majesty, I was only concerned with my own work at that time and didn't see clearly what was going on between the noble lady and the concubine."
"I clearly saw Concubine Xia slap the noble lady, but I didn't see Miss Hong Ling hit Concubine Xia."
"I only saw Consort Xia beating and scolding people, but I didn't see the noble lady take action..."
However, everyone spoke in unison, claiming that they did not see Hong Ling take action.
Xia Changzai was so angry that her face turned red.
"Lies! You all lied! Did Concubine Li and Hong Ling give you some benefits to make you all lie?"
“Don’t even mention that Concubine Li and Miss Hong Ling didn’t do us any favors. Even if they did, we wouldn’t lie.
Xia Changzai and Li Guiren are both masters, and we servants cannot afford to offend either of them. We servants are telling the truth."
The group of people all made excuses in a wronged manner.
Concubine Jing waved her hand, signaling them to return to their respective posts.
Then he looked at Concubine Xia.
"Mrs. Xia said Hong Ling beat you, but there are no traces and no witnesses, so we can't prove what you said is true.
But Hong Ling messed up your hair, so as a punishment, she should comb your hair and dress you up again now."
"I won't let this bitch comb my hair! How dare this bitch touch me!" Concubine Xia was depressed and angry.
"Okay, since Concubine Xia doesn't want Hong Ling to comb her hair, then there's no need for her to do so.
Xia Changzai, please ask an imperial physician to come over immediately and treat Concubine Li's injuries carefully. Don't be negligent."
Concubine Jing immediately took over her words and quickly resolved the matter.
Then he waved his hand.
"Alright, that's settled. I have other things to do, so all of you should leave."
"Yes, Sister Xie Jingfei."
"Thank you, Empress Jingfei."
Both the master and the slave, Li Guiren, thanked them respectfully and politely and left.
Xia Changzai was still very dissatisfied and wanted to speak, but Qingliu half-pushed and half-invited her to move out.
She was so angry that she stood there gritting her teeth, then stomped her feet and ran straight to Shouning Palace.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her accusation, the Queen Mother's face, which was beautiful despite its wrinkles, turned cold.
"You fought with Concubine Li over such a small matter? And you even brought it to me? Do you still feel wronged?
Go, kneel before the Buddha and reflect on your actions!"
