But how could she hold two people by herself?
"Get out of the way. Today I will teach her a lesson and let her know if she dares to look down on others again." Fu Liu pushed An Lirong away and continued to argue with Lin Xiangru.
While she was being held back, Lin Xiangru took the opportunity to slap her in the face.
"Oh, we are all sisters. Why can't we talk it out peacefully instead of resorting to violence?" An Lirong continued to persuade, hoping to get the two to stop.
"Who is her sister? Don't you see her status? How can she be worthy of being my sister?" Lin Xiangru's voice sounded unpleasantly. She didn't want to be a sister with this Fu Liu, a little bitch who didn't know where she came from.
An Lirong's expression froze for a moment. As for her background, she was not from a prominent family.
Seeing that the two men were getting more and more aggressive, An Lirong knew that she would not be able to separate them by herself.
"Go to the Queen Mother's palace and ask her to come over. This matter still needs the Queen Mother to decide." An Lirong had no choice. Since she couldn't handle it herself, she would just leave the matter to the Queen Mother who was in charge of the harem to decide.
The maid left in response, but the two men seemed not to notice the action and continued their fight.
The two of them were touching each other and cursing at each other, just like a shrew scolding on the street.
Although the palace maids around the two of them did not dare to take action, they also tried their best to protect their masters, for fear that if something happened to their masters, the emperor or the queen would blame them and they would be in trouble.
Su Mengyan rushed over as soon as she learned about this. She knew from the beginning that with the increase in women in the harem, such incidents would be inevitable. However, she had not expected it to happen so quickly.
"The Queen has arrived!" The eunuch's voice suddenly rang out, causing the two people who were fighting to stop instantly.
Fu Liu lowered his head guiltily, tugging at his clothes with his hands, not knowing how the Queen would punish him.
Looking at Lin Xiangru again, he had a raised face without a trace of fear.
"What's going on?" Su Mengyan had a headache. She didn't want to deal with such things at all.
"Hmph." Lin Xiangru snorted coldly and did not answer Su Mengyan's question.
Fu Liu stood aside feeling guilty, not daring to speak.
Seeing that no one answered her question, Su Mengyan became even more annoyed.
Glancing at the two of them, she saw that their clothes were disheveled and they didn't look like concubines at all.
Su Mengyan said with a headache: "Look at what you two look like. How long have you been in the palace and you look like this?"
An Lirong wanted to speak, but then she thought that this matter had nothing to do with her. If she said too much, they would think she was meddling in other people's business, so she didn't say anything.
"Since you are unwilling to tell us what happened, then kneel here for two hours before getting up." Su Mengyan said.
Kneeling for two hours was indeed a long time, but Su Mengyan thought that if they admitted their mistakes with a good attitude, she would reduce the time.
After hearing this, Fu Liu immediately knelt down and said, "I know I am wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
She knew that the most powerful person in the harem was the Queen, and now because she had made a mistake, the Queen was punishing her, so she didn't dare to refuse.
What's more, she didn't want to offend the queen. It was just kneeling for two hours.
Seeing Fu Liu kneeling down obediently, Su Mengyan felt relieved, thinking that this person was quite obedient.
However, Lin Xiangru on the side was unwilling: "Kneel down, why? What qualifications do you have to make me kneel down?"
These words shocked everyone. After all, the Queen was punishing her, so how could she say such a thing?
"If you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment. Fu Liu can do it, so why can't you?" Su Mengyan didn't think there was anything wrong with her punishment. After all, it was the fault of two people, so it was impossible to punish only one of them.
However, Lin Xiangru was determined not to kneel. She thought that she was the daughter of the prime minister, and kneeling as punishment was too humiliating.
"You don't even know what happened, and you punish people indiscriminately like this. It's simply too much. Why should I listen to you?" Lin Xiangru was still very arrogant.
"How dare you! This is the Queen Mother, how dare you do this?" Upon seeing this, Biyun directly scolded Lin Xiangru.
At the same time, he took a step forward and slapped Lin Xiangru in the face.
He was actually beaten by a palace maid. His face felt hot and Lin Xiangru felt that this was the first time he had suffered such an injustice since he was a child.
"You dare to hit me?" Lin Xiangru stared at Biyun fiercely with disbelief in his eyes, and raised his hand to slap her back.
However, Biyun was prepared. The moment Lin Xiangru raised her hand, she grabbed her arm and then threw it away.
What? She actually dared to shake off my arm. Lin Xiangru couldn't believe it.
The rage in her heart grew stronger. She no longer stared at Biyun, but looked at Su Mengyan viciously. She knew that Biyun was Su Mengyan's maid, and she thought that Biyun hit her at Su Mengyan's instruction.
Lin Xiangsu is a person who thinks highly of herself. Even though it was her fault from the beginning, she did not think she was at fault. Instead, she felt that Su Mengyan's punishment was too arbitrary.
At this moment, she firmly believed that Biyun hit her because of Su Mengyan's intention, and she could not beat Biyun, so she could not accept it for a while.
The anger in his heart was not vented, so Lin Xiangru forgot for a moment that the person standing in front of him was the Queen.
Raising his hand, Lin Xiangru was about to attack Su Mengyan.
"stop."
He was just passing by here and unexpectedly saw such a scene. In an emergency, he spoke up to stop Lin Xiangru's actions.
When everyone turned around and saw Situ Yao, they were all shocked and hurriedly saluted Situ Yao.
Some people even laughed secretly in their hearts, thinking that if the emperor saw Lin Xiangru being disrespectful to the empress, they wondered what kind of punishment would be waiting for her.
"What are you doing in the harem?" Situ Yao had no idea what was going on. He only knew how shocking the scene he had just seen was.
Su Mengyan was about to explain, but Situ Yao suddenly said, "You are my women, yet you are fighting again. Queen, how do you manage your harem?"
Without listening to anyone's explanation, Situ Yao scolded Su Mengyan.
"You all have nothing to do, right? Fighting here? Is this what your families taught you?" After scolding Su Mengyan, he scolded everyone.
Everyone was so aggrieved that Lin Xiangru simply said, "Your Majesty, you need to help me. It's obvious that the Queen and the others are bullying me."
