Aunt Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, perhaps because she really didn't expect someone to be so stupid as to self-destruct. Her voice deepened: "What did you say?"
Chunya covered her mouth tightly, whimpering. Aunt Wang ordered someone to pry her hands open, "Speak."
Chunya cried and broke down, saying, "We framed her on purpose. We just don't like her."
Yueying and Qiuxia's faces turned pale in an instant, and they knelt down in haste.
Aunt Wang's face was gloomy. "You dirty bastard, actually doing something so shameful."
Chunya felt bitter. She had bitten her tongue but still couldn't help telling the truth. At this moment, her mouth was bleeding and blood flowed out when she spoke. She looked so pitiful.
She looked at Aunt Wang's expression and her heart was filled with despair. It was over, everything was over.
Aunt Wang asked again, "Why did you frame Tang Wan?"
Chunya whispered, "Because she always looks so superior, as if nothing matters to her. We are jealous of her."
Aunt Wang frowned. "What does her condition have to do with you?"
Chunya started crying again, "We don't want to either, but we are both palace maids, why can she live so comfortably?"
Aunt Wang was a little impatient: "Alright, this kind of thing must not happen again in the future."
This is what it means to hold high and put down low. Tang Wan stood outside the door with a gloomy expression. She was indeed extremely biased.
Chunya was so happy that she nodded repeatedly, looking very well behaved.
The other two also relaxed their expressions and gasped for breath, but their fingers were still tightly clenched on the corners of their clothes, looking like they had not yet recovered.
Tang Wan looked at her timid appearance and found it ridiculous. "Xiao Bai, I think she's having a hard time holding it in. Her face is turning red."
Tang Wan saw it right. Chunya's face had become congested and red because of her efforts to endure. Big drops of sweat were sliding down her forehead and cheeks.
"Then I'll help her again."
Chunya was naturally happy that she was spared the punishment. She was about to leave, but she felt as if millions of ants were crawling on her body, and she couldn't help but twitch her shoulders.
Aunt Wang hated people like this the most. She usually had some affection for Chunya, but she wasn't necessarily someone who disregarded etiquette. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but frown: "What are you doing moving around so much?"
Chunya cried and said, "Auntie, I don't know why, but my body is very itchy."
"If you feel itchy, go get some medicine."
"Yes." Chunya said this, but still couldn't help scratching. After a while, the itch spread along the body to the face.
The itching powder is very effective. It does not just float on the surface of the skin, but penetrates deep into the inner layer, making people itchy and scratching their hearts. This is reflected very clearly on Chunya.
Her face had been scratched by her nails, leaving deep blood marks.
Aunt Wang still had some fondness for her after all, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but frowned: "Someone, grab her hand and tell her to stop scratching."
Two strong palace maids hurried forward and grabbed her hands. Their fingertips accidentally touched the blood on her hands, and they immediately felt a piercing itch. They didn't care about scratching her and desperately scratched their fingertips.
Yueying also felt very itchy and couldn't help but want to scratch herself.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong. Aunt Wang was an elder in the palace after all, so she was about to turn around and leave to ask an imperial physician to come and take a look.
Who knew Chunya thought she was going to do something bad to herself, so she hugged Aunt Wang's thighs. Aunt Wang scolded her harshly: "Let go!"
Chunya refused to let go and acted like a madman.
Aunt Wang was forced into a corner by her and slapped Chunya in the face. She had strong hands to begin with, and this slap was so powerful that Chunya staggered.
Chunya was slapped to the ground, and one of her cheeks quickly swelled up.
Aunt Wang also noticed something was wrong at this time, and her hands began to itch. She hurriedly wiped the blood, but it was of no use. She could only reach out and scratch, but it was of no use. The itch gradually spread to her whole body, making her scalp numb.
No matter how much she liked the maid in front of her, she couldn't like her anymore at this moment. She kicked Chunya in the chest, and Chunya spit out a mouthful of blood.
Sometimes, itching is more painful than pain. Pain is okay if you don’t touch it, but itching becomes more itchy the more you don’t touch it, but it still itches if you touch it, which is really frustrating.
After seeing enough, Tang Wan left through a hidden path.
No one in the room was spared and all were hit by the itching powder.
Tang Wan later heard that the imperial physicians were helpless, so she had to control her hands and feet and told them to stop scratching.
It took three full days before the fighting finally stopped, and Chunya and the other two were sent to the Ministry of Punishment and were punished with dozens of lashes. It was said that they were beaten to a bloody mess.
While beating her, Chunya couldn't stop laughing and kept muttering: "It doesn't itch anymore, it doesn't itch anymore, hit her harder."
But that's all in the past. Tang Wan heard it from the palace maids, and Aunt Wang didn't bother her either. She probably really thought those people were getting their comeuppance.
At this moment, she still had to go to the cold palace to sweep the floor. If she didn't, she would have nothing to eat when she came back at night.

In the evening, Xuanyuan Che looked at the sachet that had been inspected. It contained some sleeping-aiding herbs that were harmless to the human body, and was wrapped in a layer of warm floral fragrance.
He complained about the sachet, saying it was weird in shape and the embroidery was not very good, but he still put it in his arms and carried it carefully.
"Xunyi, have you found the person I asked you to investigate?" Xuanyuan Che said casually while playing with the sachet.
"Your Majesty, we've found out. The woman's name is Tang Wan. She's ordinary-looking, but seems quite aggressive. She doesn't have many friends, so she's on duty at Ningxiang Palace."
Xun Yi was a secret guard hired by Xuanyuan Che, so naturally he would not say that it was the cold palace. To say that the palace of the current emperor's biological mother was the cold palace was simply courting death.
Xuanyuan Che was quite interested: "Oh? How fierce is that?"
Xunyi: “…………”
As a secret guard with good professional ethics, he must of course respect all the orders of his master, so he told everything he saw and heard.
Xuanyuan Che listened with great interest. He originally wanted to bring the person back to the palace that time, but he didn't expect that the person ran faster than a rabbit. He looked like a little rabbit, but in fact, he was a little tiger with fangs?
"Your Majesty, I have another discovery."
"explain."
"Miss Tang seems to pray for His Majesty every day."
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Che seemed to have some memories of the woman in pink under the tree.
Xuanyuan Che was secretly happy. He didn't expect that she actually loved him so much and even prayed for him every day. Is my charm really that great?
