"Stop! Whoever dares to act wildly in my palace, come here, bring them here!" Shufei, who came over after hearing the news, saw her men being knocked to the ground and groaning in pain. She was so angry that she ordered the guards to bring them here.
"I'll see who dares! Your humble servant Princess Jiahui greets Her Majesty the Concubine Shu!" When Li Yun saw the Master of the West Palace coming, he quickly led his family to kneel down in greeting.
"Your Highness, a sixth-rank imperial concubine, greets Her Majesty the Consort Shu!"
"Commoners Chen Wen, Chen Wu, and Chen Fang greet Her Majesty the Concubine Shu!"
Qin Lanlan and Dabao and his two siblings paid their respects to Concubine Shu.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Concubine Shu asked angrily. She did not ask Li Yun and others to get up.
Li Yun told Concubine Shu exactly what had happened.
"Eunuch Shen, is what she said true?" If Eunuch Shen had not been here, she would have killed Princess Jiahui.
"To answer your Majesty, what the princess said is true. It was indeed the Ninth Prince who shot the young lady!" Eunuch Zhang said truthfully. He had not expected that Princess Jiahui would fight with Concubine Shu's men. If this incident became a big deal, he would definitely be blamed by the Emperor and hated by Prince Jin. It was because he failed to protect the princess. He hoped that if Madam Gao could talk them out of it, she would let them go quickly, thus avoiding offending both sides. He never expected that the princess would be such a person who would not tolerate any loss and would actually dare to fight Concubine Shu's men.
"She is just a commoner. So what if she was shot by the prince? Does she want the prince to apologize?" Concubine Shu said arrogantly, as if Sanbao was as lowly as an ant and could be trampled on by anyone.
"In that case, they are all lowly dogs and slaves. So what if they were beaten? Do you think a princess of the third rank should apologize to them?" Li Yun used Concubine Shu's words to interrupt her, making Concubine Shu so angry that she kept breathing heavily.
"How dare she act so rudely in front of me! Come, beat her to death!" Concubine Shu was so angry that she ordered Li Yun to be beaten to death!
"Let's see who dares! Madam Shufei, please don't forget that this princess was personally conferred by the Emperor. If you beat this princess to death, it means you don't take the Emperor seriously. Are you trying to rebel?
Also, the Emperor asked Eunuch Shen to take this princess and her family to pay respects to the Empress. How dare Concubine Shu stop her? Could it be that Concubine Shu wants this princess to pay respects to you first? But isn't the Empress the Queen? Shouldn't the Empress pay respects first when paying respects? Why does Concubine Shu want to take over?"
"Your Highness, you might not know this. In our rural village, you're considered a mistress. In a wealthy family, you're just a concubine. In a minister's house, you're just a concubine. Only in a prince's palace are you considered a concubine, and in the imperial palace, you're the master." Li Yun finally stood up and walked to Concubine Shu, whispering in her ear what her status meant. Since they both wanted her dead, she would be foolish not to resist. Today was a falling out with Concubine Shu, and it was up to her to see who would prevail.
"How dare you insult me? Come on, even if you beat her to death it won't quell my anger." She actually dared to call her a concubine. It seemed she wanted to die.
"Empress Shufei, please ask them when I regretted humiliating you, and what else do I regret humiliating you for?" Li Yun was not scared at all. She had a lot of poison in her hands. As long as anyone took action, she would kill them. At worst, she could take her family into the space and live freely.
"You, you. Do I need a reason to kill someone?" Concubine Shu wanted to say it, but she didn't want the servants to know those words, so she didn't say it.
"What a saying! Killing doesn't require a reason. The Concubine Shu is so cruel. Does the Emperor know?" He is so arrogant that he doesn't even care about human life.
"I never said such a thing. Besides, you beat my people. Shouldn't I settle the score with you? When beating a dog, you should look at the owner. Do you take me seriously?" Concubine Shu immediately denied it and changed the subject to talk about Li Yun beating her people.
"So the Concubine Shu admits that they are dogs. Be careful, Concubine Shu. You are the owner of those dogs. Be careful that the beasts will bite you. After all, beasts are inhumane and a bite will cause rabies." Haha, I laughed to death. Someone actually admitted that he was a beast.
"You, you are so bold that you dare to insult me. Are you dead? Why don't you do it?" Shufei finally heard that Princess Jiahui was calling her a beast. She became so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
"I want to see who dares!" When the guards were about to attack Li Yun, the queen arrived.
Even if the queen didn't arrive, Li Yun was ready to spread poison and anesthetic injections.
What they didn't know was that the Emperor and Shangguan Feiyun had arrived just as Li Yun was exploiting the prestige of Prince Jin. Shangguan Feiyun wanted to teach those slaves a lesson, but was stopped by the Emperor. He wanted to see how Princess Jiahui would handle it, and sure enough, he wasn't disappointed, playing Concubine Shu around.
"I greet the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with good health!" Concubine Shu hurriedly bowed to the Queen.
"Your Highness Princess Jiahui greets the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Your servants greet the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" The servants and guards around Concubine Shu paid their respects to the Queen and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Your servant, a lady of the sixth rank, greets the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" Qin Lanlan knelt down to pay homage to the Queen.
"I, a commoner, greet the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" Dabao brought his younger brothers and sisters to pay their respects to the Queen.
"Everyone stand up!" said the Queen.
"Thank you, Queen, for your grace!" Concubine Shu stood up and led everyone to express their gratitude.
"You are Princess Jiahui, right? Come here before me." The Queen said to Li Yun.
"Yes." Li Yun walked to the queen and stopped.
"Princess Jiahui is indeed beautiful and intelligent. I like her very much. In particular, Princess Jiahui made those farm tools and changed the Jin Dynasty. She is the lucky star of the Jin Dynasty." The Queen liked Li Yun when she saw her. Having such an extraordinary woman by Fei'er's side and sitting in that position could stop the gossips of the world.
"The Queen is very kind. I dare not take credit for it. It is because of Your Majesty's good governance that I have the opportunity to accomplish these things." Li Yun humbly attributed the credit to the Emperor again.
"The princess is kind-hearted, smart, and has a very intelligent mind." The queen praised Li Yun and was very satisfied with her intelligent answer.
"I only learned from the Queen. The Queen is the most talented person in the Jin Dynasty. I am far inferior to her." Li Yun said.
"Princess Jiahui, tell me what happened just now?" The queen was overjoyed by what Li Yun said.
Li Yun told the queen what had just happened. The queen was so angry that she almost killed someone. But at this time, the emperor and Shangguan Feiyun came out.
"Shufei, you are so arrogant that you even dare to insult the princess I conferred upon you." The emperor knew the whole story and scolded Shufei.
"Your Majesty, I was not aware of this. Please forgive me." Seeing that the emperor wanted to help Li Yun, Concubine Shu quickly said that she was not aware of this.
"Shu Fei has committed immoral and disgraceful acts, is rude and unreasonable, and is arrogant and domineering. I sentence you to confine yourself to the Weiyang Palace for two months to reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to leave without my permission."
"I am innocent. Please forgive me this time, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu pleaded with the emperor.
