Chapter 179 Those who deserve a beating should be beaten

"I didn't know that the words of the maids around the Empress are more effective than the imperial edict of Your Majesty."

Song Qingyan's voice was cold, but it touched people's hearts.

Yunzhu was stunned for a moment. What did the Royal Concubine mean?

Although she was flustered, she hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant..."

Yunzhu was still trying to explain, but was drowned out by Jinyu's voice: "Since His Majesty has issued an order stating that the Imperial Concubine is equal to the Vice Empress, you are not allowed to make any comments here."

"Empress." After saying this, Jinyu turned around and looked at Song Qingyan.

"Just slap him ten times as a punishment." Song Qingyan said lightly.

Yunzhu struggled and refused to give in, but Song Qingyan shut her up with one sentence: "If she refuses to give in, send her directly to the Ministry of Punishment."

Yunzhu was finally frightened out of her wits and was dragged away obediently by the palace servants of Qingyun Palace to be executed.

Song Qingyan also didn't want to watch Yunzhu's execution, so she told Jinyu: "Send her back to Jinxiu Palace in person and explain the matter to the Empress."

He turned around and took Lu Xingwan to Qingyun Palace.

"Yes." Jinyu bowed politely.

【Wow, mom is so cool! 】

[People who deserve a beating should be beaten until their teeth are all over the ground. ]

Yunzhu was beaten so badly that she hung her head in despair. She dared not say another word. She could only endure the pain and follow Jinyu, walking towards Jinxiu Palace in a dusty manner.

Jinyu, however, said nothing, but just walked beside him in an orderly manner, neither humble nor arrogant.

The two or three days I spent with the Empress at home were indeed much more relaxing than in the palace. I didn't have to follow the Empress' rules, and there was no intrigue.

But she knew that the queen had been worrying about it all the time in the past two days.

Now that I'm back in the palace, I must be extremely alert and not make any mistakes, so as not to cause trouble for Her Majesty.

Naturally, we cannot lose the reputation of Qingyun Palace.

Jinyu and Yunzhu entered the side hall of Jinxiu Palace together. The empress was reading a medical book. When she looked up at Yunzhu's face, she was shocked.

Jinyu, however, greeted politely: "Greetings to the Empress."

"Get up, Jinyu, how come you have time to come here?" The queen was still flipping through the medical book, but her heart was filled with huge waves, and she was even a little afraid.

Yunzhu was sent by Prince Yi, and he actually didn't like her.

To survive in this harem, such a prominent character will only lead to beatings, but one cannot but give face to Prince Yi.

In Shen Ning's heart, he also hoped that Yunzhu would make a big mistake so that he could be replaced by a more stable one.

But I was also afraid that she would really make a big mistake and bring disaster to me. It was not easy for me to get to this point step by step.

Looking at Jinyu, I couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Why does Song Qingyan have such a loyal and reliable maid by her side, while she is surrounded by so many tactless people?

"To answer the Empress, I am here to apologize." Jinyu still maintained the posture of saluting and did not stand up. "Today, Yunzhu bumped into the Imperial Concubine outside Qingyun Palace, so the Imperial Concubine ordered someone to slap Yunzhu in the face."

At this point, Jinyu raised her head and said, "But Yunzhu is the one who serves the Empress. Our Empress specially asked me to go on this trip to avoid any rift between the Empress and our Empress."

The Queen frowned: "Did Yunzhu bump into the Royal Concubine?"

"That's right. His Majesty went to Dingguo Mansion a few days ago to deliver a message, saying that when the queen returns to the palace, she doesn't need to greet him again, and can just go back to Qingyun Palace directly."

"But Yunzhu rebuked the Royal Consort for not coming to the Jinxiu Palace to pay her respects."

"I think that since the imperial decree has been issued, our queen must obey it." Jinyu's words were well-reasoned and could not be refuted. "Besides, the imperial decree for conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort also said that the Imperial Noble Consort did not need to pay respects to the Empress."

"Yunzhu's words, aren't you asking the Empress to go against the Emperor's will?"

Jin Yu looked at Shen Ning with concern when she said this: "If Your Majesty doesn't care, it's fine. If Your Majesty does care, wouldn't it just cause the Queen and Your Majesty to have a quarrel for nothing?"

After Jinyu said this, she did not speak again and just maintained the same greeting gesture.

She watched the Empress's face gradually darken.

He was secretly happy, but did not show it on his face and still looked respectful.

After a long while, the Empress spoke: "I understand. Please ask Miss Jinyu to tell the Imperial Concubine that Yunzhu is indeed ignorant in this matter. I will definitely punish Yunzhu."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." Jinyu bowed again before turning around and leaving Jinxiu Palace.

Yunlan, who was outside, heard Jinyu's words clearly. When she saw Jinyu coming out, she hurriedly followed her and said, "Sister Jinyu, you have worked hard. You have been with the Royal Concubine in Dingguo Marquis Mansion these days. Is everything okay?"

Jinyu was not that stupid, of course she knew the undercurrents between Yunlan and Yunzhu, and since she had run into them, of course she would add fuel to the fire.

"Yunzhu has offended the Imperial Concubine today. Miss Yunlan must know the status of the Imperial Concubine in His Majesty's heart." Jinyu said softly to Yunlan who was following beside her.

Yunlan didn't expect Jinyu to say this to her. She was surprised and followed her.

"The Queen will definitely not let go of Yunzhu because of their past friendship, but Miss Yunlan must think it over carefully," Jinyu said, looking at Yunlan, "Don't let His Majesty get tired of the Queen because of Yunzhu."

After saying this, he left the gate of Jinxiu Palace.

But Yunlan just stood there in a daze, looking in the direction where Jinyu left. She was actually a little jealous of Jinyu and Jinxin.

They were originally maids brought as dowry by the Imperial Concubine, and were also the family children of the Marquis Dingguo Mansion. Even if the Imperial Concubine did not care in the future, the Marquis Dingguo Mansion would still arrange a good marriage for them. Unlike me, I can only rely on myself for everything.

She understood Jinyu's implication and knew that Yunzhu had offended the Imperial Concubine. She was afraid that the Imperial Concubine wanted to use the Empress to get rid of Yunzhu.

But this is also my own idea.

Although I don't know why Jinyu said this to me, this is indeed an opportunity for me.

It is a rare opportunity.

Yunlan stood in front of the door and looked for a long time. Finally, she calmed down and turned to walk towards the Empress's palace.

At this time in the side hall, Shen Ning was still flipping through the medical book in front of him without saying a word.

Yunzhu knew that the queen was angry.

But he could only kneel on the ground without saying a word, waiting for the Queen's punishment.

Yunlan, who was outside the door, finally mustered up the courage to come in: "My queen, I wonder if sister Yunzhu has come back..."

But suddenly he saw Yunzhu kneeling on the ground: "So my sister is back."

As if he had just seen the Queen's unhappy expression, he handed the teacup to her tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is..."

Yunlan did take a big risk this time.

If she fails this time, the Empress will definitely dislike her in the future.
