Concubine Chen glanced at the maids and decided to use someone else's trick.
In short, she had to clear herself first. Beating a concubine was a serious crime. If she committed a crime, she would have no chance of becoming the queen.
The maids had a verbal agreement with Concubine Chen and thought they were foolproof, but they didn't know that Xiaolan had witnessed the whole process of Concubine Chen hurting people.
Zhu Bifeng was the first to enter the room. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face. Zhu Bifeng glanced at the window and then at Shuangxi. Shuangxi stepped forward and opened the window to get some fresh air.
Not long after Zhu Bifeng came in, Xi Jiaorong and Concubine Qi also arrived. Concubine Qi sniffed, as if she was intoxicated by the smell of blood.
Xi Jiaorong covered her chest and began to cough. Zhu Bifeng told Xi Jiaorong to go out for some fresh air.
Xi Jiaorong walked out of the room and sat down on a stone table not far away to rest.
Qi Yu'er fanned Xi Jiaorong with a round fan. From where they were, they could just see what was happening over there on Zhu Beifeng's side. Although they couldn't hear any sound, they could see his anger from his actions.
Concubine Mei woke up slowly and stared at Concubine Chen with angry eyes.
"Concubine Chen forced me to admit my mistake and copy the scriptures. When I refused, she raised a vase and hit me on the head."
Xiaolan ran behind the antique display case and pulled out a bloody vase. "What Madam Mei said is true. I witnessed Concubine Chen hitting Madam Mei with my own eyes."
With both witnesses and evidence present, Concubine Chen could not deny it.
"Mei Fei falsely accused me of forging the imperial edict and threatened to execute my entire clan. Your Majesty, my father was one of the Four Ministers who protected the country. He worked diligently and made great contributions."
"It would have been fine if Concubine Mei had humiliated me, but she humiliated my father. How could I bear to be scolded by her? I was so angry that I beat her."
Shuangxi frowned. The ladies were from wealthy families and not shrews cursing on the street. How could they do such a ridiculous thing?
Mei Fei felt pain in her wound every time she moved, so Xiaolan put a pillow behind her.
The environment of the ranch was not as good as that of the harem. The bed curtains, pillows, and decorations were all very ordinary. Concubine Mei was injured and angry, and she was dissatisfied with everything she saw.
If she had known that she would be ambushed if she left the palace, she would have preferred not to leave.
"I was wrong, but I was also trying to control Concubine Mei's behavior. Concubine Mei took Concubine Xi on horseback, and Concubine Xi vomited uncontrollably. Concubine Mei deserves to be punished."
Concubine Chen acted like she was right and kept finding fault with Concubine Mei.
"The reason Concubine Xi is vomiting is not just because of the broken dragon fetus, but also because of the horse."
These words were like a thunderclap, and Concubine Chen could not calm down for a long time after hearing them.
Concubine Mei was favored the most times, and Concubine Chen was so busy guarding against Concubine Mei that she neglected Concubine Xi.
Zhu Bifeng's heart was pounding, but his face was as calm as a lake. He saw through Concubine Chen's tricks.
Concubine Chen was speechless. All her accusations against Concubine Mei were based on the premise that Concubine Mei had made mistakes.
Now that the emperor has pointed out that Xi Jiaorou vomited not because of riding a horse, but because of her pregnancy, then Concubine Mei is the one who did nothing wrong.
Her eyes became panicked. Mei Fei had done nothing wrong, but she raised the vase and hit her.
The situation has completely reversed. She had the upper hand just now, but now she is at a disadvantage.
No, that's not right. Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, she has never had the upper hand.
Mei Fei led the concubines to ride horses, which had a bad influence at most. Chen Fei said that she violated the palace rules just to suppress her.
"You step aside first. I will talk to Concubine Mei."
Concubine Chen hesitated and tried to say something to mitigate her fault, but Zhu Beifeng was no longer in the mood to listen.
"Concubine Chen has a bad temper. Stay away from her from now on."
Mei Fei raised her head and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty should advise Chen Fei to stay away from me, instead of asking me to stay away from her."
"If she hadn't attacked me from behind today, she would have been the one lying on the bed."
"I will control her as much as possible, you can take care of her with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Zhu Bifeng left, Concubine Chen followed him.
Xi Jiaorong and Qi Yuer came over to comfort Mei Fei, "Sister Mei Fei, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't been so playful and insisted on you taking me horseback riding, you wouldn't have been injured."
"It's not a big deal. The wound is on the head, not the face."
"Sister Mei Fei, I have this hemostatic ointment passed down from our ancestors. Wait for me. I will go back and write a letter to my father immediately, asking him to send me some medicine."
Qi Yuer walked quickly towards her room, picked up a pen, hurriedly wrote a letter, and asked someone to deliver it to the Qi family.
After receiving the letter, Mr. Qi rushed to the ranch outside Beijing with his wife overnight.
"Empress Qi, where are you injured? Let me take a look."
Mrs. Qi was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep, and she had to rush over to visit.
"Mother, I'm not hurt."
When Mrs. Qi saw that there was no one around, her expression changed immediately.
"Yu'er, tell mother everything that happened."
Mrs. Qi slammed the table, and Qi Yuer's knees softened and she immediately fell to the ground.
Qi Yuer had been in the palace for more than half a year, and her mother's influence was still there. When she slammed the table, Qi Yuer instinctively knelt down.
"Hemostatic ointment is priceless for scar removal. The Qi family only has three jars. Give one to your eldest brother to take to Mobei, leave one at home, and leave the other at our ancestral home. As soon as your letter was delivered to the Qi family, your father and I rushed here without stopping, thinking something serious had happened to you."
"Mother, my daughter is unharmed."
"Could it be that the hemostatic ointment is for someone else?"
"Sister Mei Fei is injured."
"Mei Qingqing's martial arts skills are extraordinary. Whoever hurt her, among the concubines who entered the palace with you, no one's martial arts skills surpassed Mei Qingqing."
"Who else could it be? Chen Minjun."
"How could Concubine Chen, without any martial arts skills, harm Concubine Mei?"
Qi Yuer recounted what happened near the ranch, and Mrs. Qi fell into deep thought after listening.
