Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
She stared at Concubine Qi for a moment and asked the same question as Liang Yuyu: "Concubine Qi is deeply favored by the Emperor. How can I have the face to take money from her?"
Concubine Qi squinted her eyes at Shen Yuexi and said, "Madam Liang can even take the Queen's money, so why can't she take mine?"
As she spoke, Concubine Qi had already taken out a silver note. Her white fingers pressed one end of the note and pushed it forward slightly.
"This banknote is from me, Madam." Concubine Qi said as she took off the transparent jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it on the banknote. "This is a small gift from me to Madam privately."
Liang Yuyu smacked her pink lips and made a babbling sound.
What exactly does this Concubine Qi want to do? Is she trying to bribe my mother?
Concubine Qi slowly stood up, adjusted the corner of her robe, and glanced at Shen Yuexi calmly: "I have only one request. No matter what the Queen asks you to do, Madam Liang cannot do it."
【So I was waiting here. 】
Liang Yuyu's heart skipped a beat.
[The Empress and Concubine Qi, one is the head of the Imperial Palace, the other is the Emperor's most beloved concubine. These two are people my mother cannot afford to offend.]
Most importantly, Concubine Qi discussed this matter directly with Mother. Clearly, she's fully prepared. If Mother doesn't agree, who knows what tricks this woman might have.
Liang Yuyu didn't need to bother guessing. Concubine Qi lowered her head and fiddled with her fingertips, then said lightly, "It's fine if Madam Liang doesn't agree to it. But I heard that your little girl was kidnapped by a gang of human traffickers in the capital a few days ago."
Concubine Qi said this and walked forward with a smile.
She didn't take off her nail covers, but directly used the sharp nail covers to rub Liang Yuyu's fair little face up and down, left and right, and back and forth.
Shen Yuexi was terrified and subconsciously turned sideways, trying to avoid Concubine Qi's hand.
This subtle action immediately caused dissatisfaction among Concubine Qi.
She suddenly raised her head, lifted her eyelids, and looked around at Shen Yuexi unhappily.
Instead of moving the hand away from Liang Yuyu's face, he pinched Liang Yuyu's face with his fingernails.
Liang Yuyu's brows were furrowed in pain and tears were almost coming out.
She pouts her cheeks, and her angry little hands frantically grab at the air, grabbing Qi Fei's wrist.
It’s a pity that Liang Yuyu’s strength is nothing for an adult.
Concubine Qi raised the corner of her lips slightly and stared at Liang Yuyu coldly. The strength in her hand not only did not weaken, but increased a bit.
She parted her red lips and said softly, "I heard that Sister Hong from this human trafficking gang has a good relationship with your Second Young Master. Although Sister Hong is in prison now, many things have not been thoroughly investigated yet."
Concubine Qi slowly raised her eyes and stared at Shen Yuexi: "If a woman can't endure those tortures, will she say something she shouldn't say?"
Liang Yuyu was shocked, her eyes widened, and she even forgot the pain on her face.
[How did she know the relationship between Second Brother and Sister Hong? ]
[Since being arrested and imprisoned, Sister Hong has remained tight-lipped. So far, the three judges have yet to inquire about her relationship with her second brother. How could Concubine Qi, a person living deep in the harem, know about this?]
[It can only be that someone leaked the secret and told her about the relationship between Second Brother and Sister Hong long ago. But who could it be?]
Shen Yuexi also looked at Concubine Qi with horror on her face, her heart was in turmoil, and countless thoughts surged out.
She forced herself to remain calm, raising the corners of her lips and forcing a smile. "I don't understand what Queen Qi is saying. In this case, the Liang family is the victim. Although Liang Xinmin may seem a bit of a playboy, I wonder what his relationship is with Sister Hong?"
Concubine Qi sneered and gradually increased the strength of her hand that was pinching Liang Yuyu's face.
Her nails dug into Liang Yuyu's fair and tender skin, immediately leaving a blood-red mark.
Liang Yuyu screamed in pain.
Shen Yuexi could no longer bear it and raised her hand to push Concubine Qi away.
Before the palm base landed on Concubine Qi, the latter had already slowly raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Yuexi casually: "I advise Madam not to move."
Concubine Qi withdrew her hand and covered the scars on Liang Yuyu's face with a handkerchief.
She wiped it back and forth until the handkerchief was stained bright red, then she grabbed a corner of it and casually threw it to Shen Yuexi.
"Madam Liang, do you want to help me? You have one night to think about it carefully. I will invite you to the palace tomorrow morning. I hope you will have thought it through by then."
Shen Yuexi's face turned pale and his temples were throbbing.
She had never suffered such humiliation!
Especially when she saw the bright red scar on Liang Yuyu's fair and tender face, Shen Yuexi's heart felt like it was bleeding!
Concubine Qi looked at Shen Yuexi indifferently, raised her hand to tidy up the hair by her ears, rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully: "I will go back first. Madam, think about it carefully."
After saying this, Concubine Qi left without even looking back.
It was not until her back disappeared that Liang Yuyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi pitifully.
Waves of burning pain shot through her face.
This Concubine Qi is different from others.
She is not a villain who dies because of talking too much.
On the contrary, he is a person with extremely high execution ability.
He pinched me without any mercy.
However, there was a reason why Concubine Qi was so arrogant and domineering.
I heard that she came from a military family and was deeply favored by the emperor after entering the palace.
Not only that, her mother's family had made many military achievements, and her father and brother controlled 40% of the court's military horses.
In addition, the Qi family was the savior of the late emperor.
The emperor now has few children in the palace, only a few princesses.
Two of them were born to Concubine Qi.
It can be said that Concubine Qi is full of blue blood buffs.
Not to mention that Shen Yuexi was just a woman in the harem, even Minister Cen was trying to curry favor with Concubine Qi, wasn't he?
Liang Yuyu stretched out her hand with heartache, and her chubby palm fell on Shen Yuexi's face.
The latter's brows were furrowed, his lips trembling slightly, he lowered his head, his chin still trembling slightly, and looked straight at Liang Yuyu.
Her eyes were full of heartache, veins popped out of her temples, she bit her back teeth, and spoke to Liang Yuyu very gently: "My dear, mother will take you to apply medicine."
Shen Yuexi has a temper like a barrel of fire, but she is so restrained and suppressed. It can be seen that Concubine Qi is indeed difficult to deal with.
【Mother, Yu Yu doesn’t feel any pain.】
Liang Yuyu's finger gently poked the corner of Shen Yuexi's mouth.
【Mom, smile. Yuyu wants to see you smile.】
A tear fell on Liang Yuyu's face.
Shen Yuexi twitched her nose, forced a smile, and quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
She looked at Liang Yuyu, trying her best to raise the corners of her lips and trying her best to make that smile wider.
But her bright red eyes and her trying smile were out of place.
It looks even more distressing.
"Madam, what did Concubine Qi say?" Liang Ruitian walked in quickly and saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed.
