Neither of the two maids could hold her back!
Xia Qinghe put her head into the white silk again.
She was about to kick over the stool under her feet.
Butler Zhou hurriedly found a pair of scissors and rushed forward. With a "click", he cut the white silk hanging on the beam.
"Don't stop me, let me die!"
Xia Qinghe cried and refused to give in. She pointed at the maid in front of her and said, "Go, find me a thick hemp rope. I won't stop until I hang myself in this palace today!"
How could the maid dare to go? She was so scared that she kept looking at the housekeeper Zhou.
Butler Zhou was in a state of confusion at the moment.
"Oh, Aunt Xia, I know you feel wronged, but even ants have the will to survive. It's better to live a miserable life than to die!"
"I can't live anymore! Why can't this huge palace accommodate me? If that's the case, I can only die now."
Xia Qinghe screamed and cried heart-wrenchingly.
She bet that Regent Xiao Qingyun would not have the heart to let her die like this, and would definitely come over when he heard any noise.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Qingyun didn't come, but concubine Ye Wanning did.
Seeing Ye Wanning actually coming, Lingzhi hurriedly hid herself in the crowd.
When I stretched my head to look, I found that Butler Zhou had also taken two steps back and moved to a safe distance.
Lingzhi was amazed. To be able to be a housekeeper in such a big palace, he must be an old fox who has practiced for thousands of years.
Xia Qinghe was crying hard when she suddenly heard a sudden voice coming from outside, with a hint of sneer and ridicule.
"Hey, didn't you want to commit suicide?! Why are you still alive?"
Xia Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw Ye Wanning walking in slowly with the help of a maid.
"Madam Xia, I have a bad temper. If you are just pretending to commit suicide, I can't stand your pretense. How about this, I will help you!"
Xia Qinghe's face turned pale, but before she could calm down, she was frightened by the old woman who walked towards her with poisoned wine.
She looked at Ye Wanning in disbelief: "You...what are you going to do?"
Ye Wanning smiled and sat down on a brocade stool beside her. She said slowly, "Aren't you seeking death, Aunt Xia? This is top-quality Crane's Beak Red. One sip will seal your throat and guarantee a quick and painless death!"
Xia Qinghe panicked and barely managed to stand steady: "Concubine Ye, look carefully, I'm not a maid in your courtyard that you can beat and kill at will. I'm the prince's concubine. How are you going to explain to the prince if you treat me like this?"
Concubine Ye, however, seemed to have heard a huge joke. She raised her handkerchief to her mouth and laughed again and again: "Do I, Ye Wanning, need to answer to anyone for my actions? Besides, the prince is busy with all kinds of affairs and rarely cares about the affairs of the backyard. You also know that you are just an insignificant concubine. Do you think that the prince would go against me, the concubine who was married to the empress dowager, just for you?"
Xia Qinghe hesitated after hearing this: "Why is Concubine Ye so aggressive? Why does she have to force me to death?"
Ye Wanning sneered and waved back.
The old woman holding the poisoned wine took two steps forward.
The situation is pressing and ready to take action.
Lingzhi squeezed in the crowd, looking around with excitement.
Damn, is it so exciting?
Although there is no smoke of gunpowder in the women's war in the backyard, its excitement is comparable to a war of the century.
"What's going on? How disgraceful!"
At this critical moment, a deep male voice came from outside.
Soon, Xiao Qingyun came in from outside.
When Butler Zhou saw him, he immediately rushed over as if he had seen a savior, "Your Majesty, you're back?"
Xiao Qingyun nodded, and with a dark look he glanced at everyone in the room, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't come back soon, I'm afraid the mansion will be in chaos."
When Xia Qinghe saw Xiao Qingyun, her cold eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"My Lord, you are finally here! I was about to be forced to death!"
She was thinly dressed, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders and standing there barefoot, looking very pitiful.
Ye Wanning glanced at her with disdain and sneered, "How dare you say such a thing? If you had just stayed in the yard with your rooster, how could you have caused such trouble and caused His Majesty to worry?"
When Xia Qinghe heard her mention the rooster, her face turned pale and she then put on a pitiful look.
"Your Highness must not know that this vicious woman actually made me consummate my marriage with a rooster last night."
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Xiao Qingyun.
"After being humiliated like this, I have no face to live in this world anymore. However, my relationship with my parents is weak, and only my aunt treats me well. After I leave, please ask the prince to notify the Shen family to see me off."
Lingzhi sneered secretly as she watched from the side. She was indeed the woman who only pursued profit and avoided harm.
Knowing clearly that the Shen family had saved Xiao Qingyun's life, she actually used this as an excuse. It was clearly an attempt to repay a favor!
Sure enough, Xiao Qingyun looked at Xia Qinghe deeply.
She turned to look at Ye Wanning, clearly dissatisfied with her arrogance and domineering behavior: "Ye, you have been mean to the concubines in the palace one after another. If this gets out, how will people view the rules of our palace? If you cause trouble again in the future, you will no longer be a concubine."
"Brother Yun!"
Ye Wanning was horrified, and whether intentionally or not, she brought up the old name, trying to impress Xiao Qingyun: "I know I was wrong, don't be angry!"
Xiao Qingyun ignored her and just looked at Butler Zhou at the door and said, "Find someone to send Concubine Ye back."
"Please, Concubine Ye."
Butler Zhou came to Ye Wanning with two maids.
"Brother Yun..."
Ye Wanning cried miserably, as if she was being tortured and persecuted, and was soon pulled away by two maids.
