Chapter 86: Delivering Spices

After Xiangyun left Zhuhua Palace, Shupin turned to Yuxiu beside her and asked, "Is the medicine really okay?"

"Don't worry, Madam," Yuxiu said softly while massaging Shupin's shoulders, "I just wanted to test Xiangyun, how could she really be poisoned?"

Only then did Shupin nodded with relief.

But where Shupin couldn't see, Yuxiu revealed a sinister expression.

At this time in Qingyun Palace, Xiangyun saw a palace maid scolding her, and she panicked at the moment. But when she turned around, she found that she was not a well-known palace maid in Qingyun Palace. Besides, Concubine Chen was leaving the palace to attend a poetry meeting today, so why would she leave someone to watch over her?

He immediately calmed down and looked at the girl: "It was the Imperial Concubine who asked me to come back to deliver something. What are you doing here?"

"What do you want to send?" Qiong Hua would not let her go easily.

Xiangyun calmly handed the item in her hand to Qionghua for a look, but did not put it into her outstretched hand: "This is the incense that the noble concubine asked the eldest princess for a few days ago. Now she asked me to return it first."

Qiong Hua didn't believe her and stepped forward to stop her: "No, no one can enter until the queen comes back."

The two of them were talking to each other, and their voices were getting louder and louder, and they even disturbed Shupin who "happened" to pass by.

"Xiangyun, what happened?" Shupin looked at Xiangyun pretending to be ignorant, but she was extremely dissatisfied with Xiangyun in her heart. Since there were people there, why did she have to go in at this time? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the matter was made worse?

Xiangyun saw Shupin coming, as if she had seen her backbone, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam Shupin, I came to deliver spices to Madam Guifei, but I didn't expect this palace maid to stop me here."

Shupin glanced at Qionghua calmly and asked, "Which palace are you from? Your clothes don't look like those from Qingyun Palace."

Qiong Hua ignored her and just said, "If the queen doesn't come back today, no one can enter the queen's room."

Yuxiu, who was beside Shupin, slapped Qionghua on the face with a "slap".

Qiong Hua was stunned at the moment. It is said that one should not hit someone in the face. He had never suffered such an injustice before. This little palace maid actually dared to hit him. He did not want to suffer a loss and kicked Yuxiu out.

Now it was Shupin's turn to be shocked.

Song Qingyan is a person who acts unrestrainedly, and now even the maid in her palace is so presumptuous.

He immediately became angry. He didn't dare to do anything to Song Qingyan, but was there nothing he could do about the little palace maid beside her?

"Someone, come and catch her for me." Shupin had come prepared. The other four maids behind her immediately rushed over and pinned Qiong Hua to the ground, making her unable to move.

Qiong Hua had already lost his spiritual power, so how could he defeat the four girls? However, he refused to admit defeat: "If I had the ability, I could fight one-on-one. What kind of ability is this now?"

"What's the commotion?" What Shupin didn't expect was that it was the Emperor of Great Chu who came to Qingyun Palace.

The Emperor of Great Chu had just come out of Rongle Palace and was going back to his study. Today, the palace servants took a different route, and it happened that there was a lot of commotion in Qingyun Palace. The Emperor of Great Chu heard it and immediately ordered the eunuchs to go to Qingyun Palace to take a look.

Shupin panicked immediately and turned around to greet the Emperor of Great Chu before explaining, "It was this maid who spoke rudely to me, but she even beat my maid. I ordered someone to teach her a lesson."

Because of the Second Princess' marriage, the Great Chu Emperor did not like Shupin and said in a light tone, "Since you are teaching people, why did you come to Qingyun Palace?"

Although his tone was calm, his eyes were narrowed as he looked at Shupin, which made Shupin feel a little scared.

"I don't know where this girl came from, but she was acting wild in Qingyun Palace and was caught by me." Although Shupin was afraid, she still tried to calm herself down.

Qiong Hua had not spoken since the Great Chu Emperor came in. Judging from the tone of Concubine Shu, this man should be the emperor of this world. She did not show weakness and shouted, "I am the maidservant beside Concubine Chen Gui, this..."

Qiong Hua felt that it was difficult to define "this" position in his current position, so he changed his words.

She pointed in the direction of Xiangyun with her chin and said, "That maid wants to break into the inner chamber of the noble concubine. Of course, I can't let her do that."

After saying this, she pointed her chin in the direction of Concubine Shu again and said, "As for what Concubine Shu said about me beating her maid, it was her maid who slapped me first without knowing the consequences, and then I kicked her."

After Qiong Hua said this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

It would be better if I didn't come to this damn capital. Now I'm trapped in this damn palace where no one can get any help. Not only can I not find Wanwan, but I have to suffer such injustice. I have never been wronged like this when I was in the world of immortal cultivation. This is really... really a disgrace to me.

After listening to Qiong Hua's narration, the Great Chu Emperor actually laughed out loud: "Interesting."

Then he pointed at the four palace maids and said, "Let her go."

When the palace maids heard that it was the order from the Emperor of Chu, they quickly let go of their hands and stepped aside.

Da Chu saw Qiong Hua getting up from the ground, patting his clothes, and raising his lips again: "What's your name?"

Qionghua pointed at herself, but felt that it was not in accordance with the palace rules, so she followed the example of the maid and saluted: "My name is Qionghua."

"Hahahaha..." The Great Chu Emperor raised his lips again, "You are very good, just like your master. You deserve it."

As soon as the Great Chu Emperor finished speaking, Concubine Chen's voice came from outside: "I didn't expect that my palace is also very lively when I'm not in it."

After saying that, he looked at the Great Chu Emperor again: "Why is your majesty here?"

When the Great Chu Emperor saw Consort Chen Guifei, he reached out and held her hand: "You came back so early. I was walking outside your palace and heard the commotion here, so I came here."

Concubine Chen then noticed Xiangyun kneeling on the ground and asked, "Is that Xiangyun kneeling? Didn't she go to Shupin's palace? Why is she here again?"

Seeing that they were unable to explain themselves, Qiong Hua pointed at Xiangyun and said, "Your Majesty, this maid was sneaking around your door. I thought she was suspicious, so I stepped forward to stop her, but they turned the tables on me."

When Qiong Hua said this, the Great Chu Emperor couldn't help laughing again: "Where did you come from, girl? It's very interesting."

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten what I told you a few days ago. My father said that Wanwan has a lot of things to do in the palace now, so he specially found a female doctor to take care of Wanwan." Concubine Chen was afraid that the Emperor of Great Chu would be suspicious, so she hurriedly explained.

"She is actually a female doctor?" The Great Chu Emperor smiled again, "She is a loyal protector of her master."
