Frightened by the queen's majestic tone, Lu Yin became even more flustered.
Seeing the situation was not good, Concubine Qin quickly said, "You are so good, Lu Yin, you dare to report unverified things to me, disturbing the Emperor and the Empress. What is your crime?"
Hearing this, Lu Yin was startled and looked up at Concubine Qin. After receiving Concubine Qin's reminder, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die.
"This servant was horrified when she suddenly encountered this filthy thing in Ning Changzai's house. She only thought that no servant would be so bold as to have an affair with someone in Ning Changzai's Luoxue Pavilion, so she thought it was Ning Changzai..."
Ning Yuxi sneered in her heart, this Lu Yin is quite smart.
The only palace maid who would dare to have an affair with someone so openly in her residence could be the owner of the residence, so it was understandable that she was frightened and rushed to report to her master.
Maybe she really had an affair with someone, and when she heard that the emperor and empress were coming, she took Bai Zhu to take the blame.
"You also said that Luoxuexuan is my residence. Would I be so foolish as to have an affair with someone in my own residence in public? Someone must have framed me. Your Majesty, please investigate."
Gu Qilan's brows knitted tightly together, his cold gaze sweeping over the kneeling Concubine Qin and Concubine Ning. After a moment, he said impatiently, "The palace maid Lu Yin falsely accused the master. She will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane and thrown into the Xinzheku!"
"Chang Zai Ning, you are not good at managing your subordinates and are not strict in your discipline. You are under house arrest for a month!"
"Noble Lady Qin, for recklessly listening to others and disturbing the harem, is under house arrest for three months!"
After saying that, Gu Qilan looked at the queen, his tone unrecognizable as either happy or angry: "The queen should put more effort into managing the harem. I don't want any more trouble to happen in the harem!" After saying that, he turned away.
The queen's face froze. The emperor was taking his anger out on her.
The emperor is a man of broad vision and devotes himself to state affairs. He has always treated the women in the harem as routine matters and naturally does not like them to cause trouble for him.
Seeing the emperor leave, Concubine Liu, in a good mood, raised her hand and stroked the jade silk hairpin on her head: "Your Majesty, you are in charge of the harem, it is hard. You should take care of your health on a daily basis. Otherwise, you will be unable to do things and make the emperor worry."
Today's excitement is really boring, but it is really pleasant to have the Queen lectured by the Emperor.
"I'm tired, so I'll go back to the palace first." Concubine Liu leaned over gently and left with the palace maid.
The queen was angry, but she didn't know what to say. Concubine Liu's mother's family was quite powerful, and the emperor also respected her very much.
"Lady Qin, Concubine Ning, let's end today's matter here. I don't want to see anything like this again. From today on, you will be grounded and stop causing trouble!"
"Yes," Ning Yuxi replied respectfully. The emperor was angry with the queen, and the queen must be fed up with her, so she had better be respectful.
Even though Concubine Qin was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree at this moment.
The Queen's gaze lingered on Ning Yuxi for a moment, then she glanced at the group of concubines behind her who were gloating over the Emperor's misfortune. "And you too, stop stirring up trouble and make the Emperor worry less about the affairs of the harem."
All the concubines responded respectfully.
"Okay, let's all go!" After saying that, the queen was surrounded by a group of palace servants and left Shuqing Palace.
Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, the other concubines left one by one, and they couldn't help but mock the two of them as they left.
When only Ning Yuxi and Concubine Qin were left, Concubine Qin glared at Ning Yuxi angrily and said, "Just wait!"
Ning Yuxi sneered: "What do you mean, Concubine Qin? Your maid wronged me, and you won't allow me to defend myself?"
"Or was it Concubine Qin who did this, and she was angry because she couldn't get what she wanted?"
Concubine Qin's eyes were panicked for a moment, and then she raised her voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I do such a thing!"
Ning Yuxi smiled slightly: "Then I don't know."
Ning Yuxi didn't want to argue any further. Too many things had happened today, and she still felt uneasy. "I'm not feeling well, so I won't say any more to Concubine Qin. I'll take my leave."
After saying this, Ning Yuxi knelt slightly and bowed, then was helped back to the bedroom by the palace maid Ruyi.
Qin Guiren was left alone there, looking at Ning Yuxi's back as she left, she wished her eyes would burst open!
Entering the bedroom, Ning Yuxi waved her hand and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. You don't need to wait on me."
The palace maid Ruyi seemed to want to say something, but seeing that her master obviously didn't want to talk, she had no choice but to respond. She helped Ning Yuxi to sleep, tucked in the quilt, and then led the others away.
When there was no sound in the room, Ning Yuxi opened her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
What a thrilling day!
Who knew that she was sleeping soundly at home, and when she woke up, she found a naked man trying to take off her clothes, and there was no one around.
Suddenly, I received strange memories in my mind and realized that I had traveled into a novel I had read before and became a concubine in the harem of Gu Qilan, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty in the novel.
The Jin Dynasty in the novel is fictional, and the positions in the harem are similar to those in the Qing Dynasty, but the clothing and hair accessories are similar to those in the Tang Dynasty.
The novel was written a long time ago, and she only remembered that the Ning Changzai she wore was just a cannon fodder in the harem struggle.
She was framed by Concubine Qin, who lived with her in Shuqing Palace, for having an affair with a guard.
If she hadn't traveled through time, the original owner would have been captured by the emperor and empress and sentenced to death...
The original heroine in the novel seems to be just a little palace maid, and the novel tells the clichéd story of a little palace maid counterattacking and becoming the queen mother.
She saw the original owner having an affair here, and then she glanced at it casually a few times and then stopped looking.
Originally, from the perspective of the original heroine, she was still washing clothes in Xinzheku. The novel wrote that the original owner was arrested for having an affair because after the original owner died, all the palace maids around her were sent to Xinzheku.
