Chapter 99: Be Her Reverse Scale
Liang Shuren had seen Jiang Yingli deal with Xu Nianya that day, and he felt hatred and fear, and it took him a long time to utter a word.
"Empress Chongyi also has the time to come and add insult to injury?"
"Yes, I'm free." Jiang Yingli stared at her and paced back and forth. "But I don't like the term 'kicking someone when they're down'. I'm clearly here to kick a fallen dog."
Being scolded, Commoner Liang angrily said, "Isn't the Empress very favored? Why did she skip the morning meeting and come here instead? Are you so afraid that the concubine's scheme yesterday would succeed and steal another piece of the Emperor's heart?"
Liang Shuren deliberately emphasized the word "again" in order to provoke Jiang Yingli.
Jiang Yingli was not annoyed at all, instead she smiled softly with her hands covering her sleeves.
"Mr. Liang, since your heart is still aching, don't be so arrogant. His Majesty has been given Chinese medicine and you can't even get close to him. How can you succeed? How can you succeed?"
Liang Shuren opened his mouth, but could not utter anything in rebuttal. He was speechless, and his heart ached even more.
She was speechless, so Jiang Yingli continued, "Wasn't it better for you to remain obscure after being beaten? Now you've made such a mess of yourself. The harder you try, the more heartbroken you become."
The harder you work, the more sad you feel?!
These words were like a knife piercing his heart, and Liang Shu Ren could no longer bear it.
She tried her best to pounce on Jiang Yingli, but was pinned down by several eunuchs and could only stare blankly.
Jiang Yingli looked around, then set her eyes on Liang Shuren, and asked with feigned curiosity:
"Why, where is your beloved Queen Mother? Didn't she send anyone to save you from the dire situation?"
Liang Shuren became increasingly agitated, breathing heavily, "Jiang Yingli! Just wait and see, the Empress Dowager will definitely send someone to take me out soon!"
"Call me by my name and I'll slap you in the face." Jiang Yingli ordered casually.
Lian Qiao was able to show his skills again and swung his arms.
Looking at the slapped Liang Shu Ren, Jiang Yingli asked, "Humiliation? You brought this upon yourself. It's all right to find a backer, but you shouldn't be so arrogant and disrespectful to His Majesty, and you certainly shouldn't have drugged His Majesty and damaged his dragon body!"
Jiang Yingli waved Lian Qiao away, pinched Liang Shuren's chin, stared at her with her well-behaved face, and said coldly:
"I really want to kill you."
Liang Shuren felt a chill on his back for a moment.
"But His Majesty is merciful. He only deposed you, sparing your life. I do not wish to go against His Majesty's wishes. This is all well and good. You should witness with your own eyes how His Majesty's power shines throughout the world."
Liang Shuren couldn't help but hold his breath as he looked at Jiang Yingli, who was more terrifying than ever before.
How could a person become so terrifying in a moment's thought? Jiang Yingli was clearly so quiet and gentle before!
Even when she dealt with Xu Nianya, she was just angry. Why was she so murderous towards herself now?
Jiang Yingli suddenly let go, pushed Liang Shuren aside, and waved.
Qiuxia came up with a bowl of hot water.
"Mr. Liang fell into the water yesterday and caught a cold. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up." Qiuxia brought the bowl over calmly.
Liang Shuren watched in horror as Qiuxia approached step by step.
"You...what is this! Empress Chongyi! His Majesty hasn't sentenced me to death yet, how can you...?"
Lian Qiao and Qiu Xia pinched Liang Shuren's face and poured hot water into her.
Liang Shuren thought he had drunk poison and lay on the ground retching in despair.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
"You...what did you guys pour into me? It's so hot!"
Jiang Yingli smiled, "It's just hot water, don't be afraid."
After finishing her words, Jiang Yingli instructed Lian Qiao and Qiu Xia, "Go, help her back to the couch to rest."
Lian Qiao and Qiu Xia lifted up the exhausted Liang Shu Ren, helped her into the hall, and then tied her hands and feet to the couch.
Lian Qiao clapped her hands and said, "Don't worry, Liang Shu Ren, it's only two hours, you can have a good rest."
Jiang Yingli left the palace and ordered, "Come back and untie her after two hours."
The person behind him responded.
As Jiang Yingli just left the path of You Palace, Xuan Mo's shadow flashed and he flipped out from the roof of You Palace.
In Changqing Palace, Xuan Mo knelt in the hall and reported to Xiao Chenglan what had just happened in You Palace without missing a word.
"The Empress said that Commoner Liang shouldn't be so arrogant and disrespectful to Your Majesty, and even more so, shouldn't have given Your Majesty drugs that damaged His Majesty's dragon body."
"The Queen said she wished to kill Commoner Liang, but Your Majesty was merciful and spared him... Concubine Liang is alive, perfect for Your Majesty's power to radiate across the world."
Xiao Chenglan held the imperial brush, dipped the tip of the brush into the cinnabar, and casually traced it back and forth, with an elusive smile faintly emerging in the depths of his eyes.
kindness?
In her heart, how good is he?
He did not sentence Liang Shuren to death, but it was not out of mercy.
He just wanted to see whether Jiang Yingli would seek justice for her.
The result is obvious, he got what he wanted.
The feeling of being her Achilles' heel is really... particularly addictive.
His pear would not show its claws even when it was wronged, but when it came to seeking justice for him, the kitten turned into a tiger.

In the Wanshou Palace, Nanny Xia looked solemn.
"As stupid as a pig." Queen Mother Xue cursed coldly.
The food is even put right next to your mouth, but you still spill it.
This Liang Shuren is really useless.
This emperor is truly noble!
Even after being drugged, he was unwilling to visit Liang Shuren. Why was he obsessed with Jiang Yingli?
As she thought about it, Empress Dowager Xue actually felt a little jealous.
Back then, there were several times more beauties in the late emperor’s harem than there are now, and everyone was trying their best to stand out.
Everyone hates the favorite concubine, but everyone also hates that they are not the favorite concubine.
She is just like the current Concubine Song, who sits firmly in a high position due to her family background, so she can never understand what is so good about being a favorite concubine.
The people in the royal family, especially the emperor, are very fickle in their feelings. Favored concubines change faster than the candles in the palace. One can only get a temporary promise from the emperor by vying for a place.
When the grace fades, those sweet promises become deadly blades.
Even if she was about to die, the heartless emperor might not even look back.
Why is Xiao Chenglan different from his father?
When will Jiang Yingli's favor come to an end?
Queen Mother Xue pressed her forehead weakly, and for a moment, she felt very frustrated.
The struggles in the late emperor's harem during the first half of her life flashed through her mind one by one.
She suddenly sneered.
Haha, so what if she is a favored concubine? She is the one who wins in the end.
Now, the one sitting in this Wanshou Palace is her.
What about those favorite concubines? They have long been nothing but skeletons.
Queen Mother Xue cast aside the feeling of powerlessness and opened her eyes.
Yes, the favorite concubine is the least worth mentioning. The person she should be most wary of is Su Qingrong, who, like her, relies on her family background to hold a high position.
Since Liang Shuren has failed, there is no need to think about dividing the favor and suppressing Su Qingrong. Just get rid of her directly.
Empress Dowager Xue recalled the most powerful trick used by the concubines in the late emperor's harem that could make it impossible for anyone to recover.
That is, to make a fuss about offspring.
The royal heir is extremely important and the concubines in the harem must not use it to cause jealousy and trouble.
The emperor is now childless, so the ministers of the previous dynasty will certainly keep a closer eye on him.
"Go and give the pair of rabbits to Su Zhaoyi." Empress Dowager Xue ordered.
Nanny Xia responded, but was stopped by Empress Dowager Xue again.
"Liang Shuren of the You Palace, please be smart and deal with her properly, so that she won't say anything crazy."
"Yes, I know."
**
Liang Shuren's hands and feet were tied to the couch by Lian Qiao and Qiu Xia. His whole body felt as if it was on fire and as if millions of ants were crawling on his body, but there was no way to relieve the pain.
She looked at the closed door in despair.
Not to mention two hours, she almost fainted after enduring for an hour.
It’s so vicious!
Instead of torturing her in this way, it would be better to let her die peacefully.
Just as he was thinking this, the door creaked open, and the sudden light that shone in made Liang Shuren blink.
An unfamiliar nanny came in with a little palace maid and looked at Liang Shuren with a smile.
"Save me...untie me..." Liang Shuren grabbed it as if it was a life-saving straw.
Mammy pretended not to hear, took the bowl of medicine from the maid, and said with a smile:
"The Empress Dowager is very distressed that Commoner Liang is imprisoned here, and has ordered this servant to bring some tranquilizing medicine to the beauty."
