Wei Hanyu naturally thought of the point that Chen Yuwei mentioned.
Immediately, Wei Hanyu felt a surge of resentment, blaming herself for being too weak at the moment, otherwise why would Consort Jia have come to bully her so directly?
If it weren't for Consort Shu passing by and lending a helping hand today, Wei Hanyu might have been bullied even more by Consort Jia.
Feeling the burning pain on both sides of her cheeks, Wei Hanyu was almost in tears.
Even if she really did speak nonsense out of tact, that's no reason for Consort Jia to lay a hand on her. What right does Consort Jia have? She's just putting garlic in her nose like a pig, pretending to be an elephant!
Putting everything else aside, now that my face is injured, even with the help of imperial physicians to treat and recuperate, I will be unable to serve the emperor for at least ten days to half a month.
The emperor is never short of concubines trying to please him. What if the emperor forgets about her?
She was only a concubine, had no children, and had not moved out of Changchun Palace to establish her own household!
"Oh, poor thing."
Consort Wei, I advise you to go back and ask the imperial physician to examine your injuries. Some things have already happened, and thinking about them won't change anything.
I've always thought you were a smart person and wouldn't make a mistake in this regard.
Chen Yuwei casually praised Wei Hanyu a couple of times. Regardless of whether she was actually talking about the other person, it's always good to say nice things.
Wei Hanyu bowed respectfully to Chen Yuwei again and again to express her gratitude to Consort Shu for her righteous help.
Chen Yuwei smiled and left with Xia He. The two of them continued on to the princess's residence, which they had not been able to visit.
As for Wei Hanyu, who was left standing there? Well, that depends on what Wei Hanyu wants to do.
Wei Hanyu only wanted to take care of her face first. After separating from Chen Yuwei, Wei Hanyu quickly returned to the back hall of Changchun Palace with Ping'er to rest.
Before Wei Hanyu could rest for long, she was summoned by the Empress in the main hall.
Without a doubt, it must have been Consort Jia who filed her complaint, and the Empress sent someone to summon her, just to go through the motions.
snort!
The Empress is truly hypocritical!
Wei Hanyu asked Ping'er to go with her. The two, mistress and servant, had injuries on their faces. As soon as they appeared in front of the Empress, they startled the usually calm Empress.
Wow! This situation is completely different from what Consort Jia said. It's not a minor punishment as Consort Jia described; this is clearly aimed at ruining Wei Hanyu's appearance.
Consort Jia may appear charming and lovely, but her methods are actually far too ruthless.
The Empress was shocked by Consort Jia's ruthless actions and her insincere words when speaking to her.
But seeing Wei Hanyu's miserable state, the Empress couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.
Although the Empress didn't really care whether the Emperor would come to rest at her place.
However, staying overnight in the rear hall of Changchun Palace is one completely different situation from not coming to Changchun Palace and going to other palaces.
If the Empress doesn't come to Changchun Palace, she can comfort herself by not seeing it and not worrying about it. But if she comes to Changchun Palace and doesn't rest in the main hall, but instead goes to flirt with Wei Hanyu, the Empress will only feel that she is not charming enough and that the Emperor does not want to sleep with her.
This kind of thing is shameful for the Empress, no matter where you tell it or who you tell it to.
But the Empress could not blame Hongli for this.
After all, Hongli has always been like this, and the Empress knew that before.
Unfortunately, Wei Hanyu became the target of the Empress's anger. Just then, the Empress gave birth to her youngest son, Yongcong. She was in a bad mood because of the child, and her relationship with Hayihu had become increasingly distant before her marriage. The Empress's resentment gradually accumulated, and she occasionally needed to vent.
And so began Wei Hanyu's life of hardship.
To outsiders, Wei Hanyu's daily life in Changchun Palace seemed enviable.
In reality, Wei Hanyu's life was incredibly miserable and filled with unspeakable suffering.
Now that she has met the Empress, Wei Hanyu has no intention of using her wounds to complain, since the Empress will not punish Consort Jia, but will only point out her own mistakes.
"Ahem, Consort Wei"
The Empress looked calmly at Wei Hanyu and relayed what Consort Jia had just told her, "Have you said these words?"
Wei Hanyu lowered her head and looked pitiful with her injured face. "Your Majesty, I did not say that. It was Consort Jia who slandered me."
Consort Jia has always disliked me and has always liked to make trouble for me.
Your Majesty, I do not know what I did wrong to displease Consort Jia.
Today, all I did was go with Ping'er to Baohua Palace to ask for a good fortune slip for Princess Hejing's departure from the capital.
When I came out, I was caught and humiliated by Consort Jia, and even the amulet I made for Princess Hejing was torn."
After speaking, Wei Hanyu's eyes filled with tears, and at the same time, she did not forget to show the Empress the peace bag she had obtained.
I added some of my own touches to the safety bag, making it look even more fragmented.
Empress: ...
The Empress's eyes widened, and she suddenly became furious, not because of Wei Hanyu, but because of Consort Jia.
Today is the day of Hayihu's wedding, and the Empress should have gone to see her off with Chen Yuwei.
Unexpectedly, news of Yongcong's crying and fussing came halfway through the journey, causing the Empress to return to Changchun Palace early and miss her last meeting with Hayihu.
The peace pouch that Wei Hanyu took out successfully evoked the Empress's guilt towards Ha Yihu, and also reminded the Empress that Consort Jia seemed to have done nothing for Ha Yihu today!
"Donghan, bring a stool for Consort Wei, and send someone to fetch the imperial physician."
The Empress found Wei Hanyu, who had previously been quite an eyesore, much more pleasing to the eye.
Wei Hanyu quickly thanked the Empress, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness."
The Empress smiled and said, "I will have the imperial physicians do their best to treat the injury on your face."
As for Consort Jia, she was too arrogant and dared to lay a hand on other concubines, so she deserves some punishment.
