“…You, you!”
The queen pointed a finger at Wu Qing, shaking it constantly. The Buddhist beads fell to the ground, and she was so angry that her face turned blue, and her chest was heaving, obviously extremely angry.
Wu Qing stood quietly in the center of the hall, his eyes firm and calm, ready to die.
Even though the queen knew that she was seeking death, she was still frightened half to death by her shocking words.
How dare Wu Chengya! ?
It would be fine if you just scolded her, but how dare you slander the emperor?
She couldn't keep it even if she wanted to!
Below the main seat, the three high-ranking concubines were also horrified.
Concubine Shu was stunned and looked shocked; Concubine Sun covered her mouth and stared at Wu Qing in disbelief.
Yuepin's eyes were shining with excitement, as if all this chaos had nothing to do with her.
The concubines in the palace didn't even dare to breathe, and looked at Wu Da Ying in shock and fear.
Does she know what she's talking about?!
Anyone who dares to plead for her at this time will not only risk his own life, but also his family!
Wu promised that if he only provoked the queen, he would still have a chance of survival.
But she even insulted the emperor!
This is a matter of life and death!
Wu Qing laughed wildly in his heart: [The effect is so good~ Looking at everyone's expressions, I have a feeling that I will be able to go home before tomorrow. Oh yeah! ]
Wu Qing: [How will the Queen sentence me to death? White silk? Poisoned wine? ...Will it be beheading? Forget it, it's only once in a lifetime, so I'll be fine to experience it, hahaha. When I go back, I'll also be someone who's had my head chopped off, and I can brag to my colleagues! ]
The Queen Mother came to her senses instantly and regained her composure.
She is not stupid.
Thinking of Wu Da Ying's series of words, "I want to die" and "go home", and her voice that seemed to see through everything, the Queen had already made some guesses about the matter.
——Wu Da Ying seemed to be able to see through the fate of others and was not afraid of life or death.
The Queen took a breath.
If this is the case, then Wu promised that she would never let her die. Today, she must protect her.
The Queen said in a deep voice: "Wu Da Ying is ill, and the crazy words said by the patient are not counted."
Wu Qing was dumbfounded and said anxiously: "Madam? No, I really mean it..."
The Queen shouted: "What are you waiting for! My words are no longer effective, right?"
The Queen's wrath came late.
"Xiao Luzi, take Wu Yingda back to Lingmei Garden and have the servants take good care of her."
The queen rubbed her temples and said tiredly, "Since Wu Ying is ill, you don't need to come to pay me respects in the future. From today on, Lingmei Garden will be closed to visitors and no one is allowed to disturb us."
Xiao Luzi replied, "Yes."
Wu Qing blinked: "Woo woo woo?! Woo woo!"
Xiao Luzi moved quickly and sealed Wu Qing's mouth, then quickly took Wu Qing away from her crime scene.
He saw everything that happened in the palace and knew that Wu Da Ying was someone his queen wanted to protect, and she couldn't let her get into any more trouble.
The queen coughed twice, her voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.
She looked around and said, "If I heard what happened today, I would not let you off easily."
"yes."
The concubines were worried and agreed in unison.
There was no other reason, it was just because what Wu promised was too shocking, they hadn't reacted yet, and hadn't figured out how to do anything bad.
Lu Mengman's face was as pale as paper, and her body was shaky, as if she would lose support and fall into a coma at any time. She never dreamed that her good sister, who was gentle and timid in the past, would suffer from hysteria and do such a rebellious thing.
The queen sighed, "I am tired, let's all go."
…
Only after returning to Lingmeiyuan did Wu Qing realize what had happened.
Why did the Queen say she was crazy? It's simple.
——In this era, the shadow of imperial power is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, and almost no one dares to openly insult the emperor.
She acted so exaggeratedly that she was considered crazy.
Wu Qing was heartbroken and filled with deep regret.
Xiao Luzi and two extremely strong eunuchs took her back to Lingmeiyuan, leaving her no chance to escape.
As soon as he came in, Xiao Luzi saw the scene in the garden.
Lingmei Garden is located in a remote area, seemingly forgotten by the years and prosperity. It is located in a quiet corner, surrounded by high palace walls, and seems to be isolated from the world. No wonder Wu Qing walked for an hour in the early morning to reach Kunning Palace.
Only two ladies can live in one courtyard. Now only Wu Da Ying lives there, so the space doesn't seem spacious.
There is little vegetation in the garden, with only two skinny snow plum trees. The grass and trees nearby also look like they have not been cared for for a long time and are very sloppy.
Two palace maids were wiping the railing with a rag out of boredom, and two eunuchs were dozing off on the steps.
These days, they live a more comfortable life than their young master.
Xiao Luzi just took a glance and felt displeased with these lazy servants.
Wu Da Ying is a person that the Queen values, how can she be served by these lazy bones?
Look at the facilities in this garden. They are not even as good as the residences of some palace ladies. No, they are even worse than those of some palace maids in charge.
When they saw Wu Da Ying being brought in by Xiao Lu Zi, the servants all stood up tremblingly and knelt down at once.
They are not afraid of their masters making mistakes, but they are afraid that their masters' mistakes will implicate themselves. Xiao Luzi is the head eunuch in the Queen's palace, and his appearance is the Queen's intention.
Xiao Luzi saw all of this and snorted with disdain in his heart.
He cleared his throat and said, "The Queen has ordered that Wu Yingda is seriously ill, and Lingmei Garden will be closed to visitors from today onwards."
The servants of Lingmei Garden exchanged glances. Wu Da Ying was not favored to begin with, and now she has offended the queen. Is there any way out for them if they continue to stay here?
When Jinxiu, who was in the room, heard these words, she quickly put down the things in her hands, picked up her skirt and ran out in a panic.
What she saw before her eyes made Jinxiu feel heartbroken.
Wu Da Ying was held hostage by several eunuchs, and her eyes were hurt by his helpless and weak figure. Jin Xiu couldn't help sobbing twice, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"My lady! This is all my fault. I didn't take good care of you, my lady... wuwuwuwu..."
Jinxiu crawled to Wu Da Ying, hugged her legs and started crying.
Wu Qing held his forehead with his hand. No, no, no, it was all her own fault. She blamed herself for not finding a good opportunity to commit suicide.
Xiao Luzi looked around and lowered his voice, saying threateningly, "Wu Da Ying is just ill and needs to rest. If anything happens to Wu Da Ying, the Queen will hold you accountable first!"
The servants shouted that they dared not and bent down to kowtow.
The gate of Lingmeiyuan slowly closed, blocking outsiders from peeping at the people inside.
It all happened so quickly that apart from the concubines who came to pay their respects to the Queen today, no one else knew what happened in Kunning Palace.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, this group of women who were good at palace fighting finally started to add insult to injury.
The women in "The Palace of Heart" are not easy to deal with. It is common for them to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. If there is no palace fighting, they will feel uncomfortable.
Several concubines of low status came hand in hand and deliberately took a long detour to "visit" Wu Da Ying.
However, when they arrived at Lingmei Garden, they found the gate closed and had been sealed by the Queen's order.
They looked at each other, expressing disappointment and helplessness, and had to disperse in boredom. The Queen's move was undoubtedly to protect Wu Da Ying and prevent other concubines from bullying her.
The high-ranking concubines thought about it carefully and found that there was no need to make things difficult for Wu Da Ying.
Her father was a low-ranking official, and there was no benefit in overthrowing him. Moreover, she herself was not favored by the emperor, so even if she stepped on him a few times, she would still feel that it was bad luck.
and……
They tacitly turned their gazes towards the direction of Linhua Palace.
It was an extremely magnificent palace and also the residence of Concubine Lin.
Knowing that the Queen had saved Wu Da Ying, how could the Imperial Concubine sit idly by and allow the other party to grow its power?
