Chapter 33 Miao Wangshu Feng Yiyue
Queen Mother Wen looked at her niece in confusion again. Wen Yao was worried about the health of His Majesty and said hurriedly, "It was indeed the order from Concubine Miao. Aunt, you are wronging His Majesty."
The culprit changed from Concubine Jiang to Zhaoyi Miao. Empress Dowager Wen paused for a moment and became even more furious.
Concubine Jiang is fine, she is so bold because she relies on her son's favor. But who the hell is Miao Zhaoyi, she has no family background and is not favored, yet she dares to humiliate a girl from the Wen family!
Empress Dowager Wen was furious and ordered: "Pass on my imperial decree! Slap Miao Zhaoyi on the face eighty times, demote her to a concubine, and send an experienced maid over. From today on, she must kneel for two full hours every day. If she dares to slack off, let the maid beat her!"
This punishment was obviously excessive. Wen Yao was just a noble lady after all, and she had said the wrong thing before. Miao Zhaoyi did not deserve such a crime in any case.
Nanny Wei wanted to persuade her, but seeing that the Queen Mother's chest was heaving with anger and His Majesty had no intention of stopping her, she lowered her brows and took the order and left.

Chuxiu Palace, east hall.
Feng Yiyue was embroidering a night-blooming primrose handkerchief in the yard when she vaguely heard some noisy noise coming from the main hall.
She raised her head and asked in confusion, "Hey, what is Sister Miao doing over there?"
Suli was chewing a big, round peach. When she heard the words, she stopped and pricked up her ears. After listening for a while, her young eyebrows knitted together, "Does it seem like a quarrel? No, no, no, it doesn't seem like that. It seems like an old lady is losing her temper."
Feng Yiyue was only a few stitches away from finishing her embroidery, so she instructed Suli, "Don't eat the peach yet. Go and have a look. Maybe Sister Miao is not here, and the maids in her palace are bullying the little palace maids."
Su Li let out a sigh, took a reluctant bite of the peach, then wiped his hands and ran out.
Feng Yiyue's last few stitches were embroidered very unsmoothly. First, she put them in the wrong place, and then she pricked her finger in her haste.
She gasped in pain and got angry at the handkerchief.
This broken thing is unlucky for her!
Feng Yiyue wanted to take a pair of scissors and cut the handkerchief to vent her anger, but after embroidering it for several days, she couldn't bear to do so.
Just as he was struggling, Suli's panicked voice rang out at the door: "Oh no! Oh no!"
Feng Yiyue looked up and saw Suli stumbling in, her face flushed. She pointed in the direction of the main hall and stammered in panic, "Zhao, Zhaoyi was beaten. Her face and nose are covered in blood. It's so scary, so scary..."
The night-blooming primrose handkerchief fell to the ground. Feng Yiyue stood up in a daze: "You, what did you say?"

When Feng Yiyue rushed to the main hall, Miao Wangshu was kneeling on the brick floor in the middle of the courtyard. A burly nanny was standing beside him, pointing and criticizing with a ruler.
She was originally thin, and at this moment she was like a green bamboo in a strong wind. Although she was about to fall down due to the wind, she still tried her best to stay straight.
"Sister Miao!"
Feng Yiyue shouted with red eyes. Miao Wangshu didn't turn around, but the nanny looked at him fiercely.
Seeing that it was her, Nanny Yan reluctantly said politely, "Lady Feng, Miao Ying is being punished. Please go back."
Feng Yiyue was anxious: "Why is she being punished? What on earth did Sister Miao do wrong to deserve such a punishment?"
"How dare you interfere with the Empress Dowager's decree!" Nanny Yan's face instantly turned cold and she scolded: "If Concubine Feng interferes with the execution of the decree, you will suffer the same fate as Miao Ying!"
Feng Yiyue was timid, so in the past she would have been scared away. But when she thought of Suli's words just now and looked at Miao Wangshu's back, she couldn't help but shed tears, and walked forward instead.
Nanny Yan was too lazy to talk to her, and angrily ordered the palace maids brought from Cining Palace: "Hold down Concubine Feng. Xiao Anzi, go back to Cining Palace and ask the Empress Dowager how to deal with her."
Before Feng Yiyue could react, Miao Wangshu turned around. Her beautiful face was now red and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and nose. She looked at Feng Yiyue coldly, as if she was looking at an irreconcilable enemy. She opened her lips slightly and uttered a word viciously: "Get lost!"
Feng Yiyue was stunned. Nanny Yan had already picked up the ruler and hit Miao Wangshu on the back, saying sternly: "Don't move while you are kneeling. Did Miao Wangshu forget the rules?"
Miao Wangshu was beaten so hard that she fell forward and lay on the ground. She closed her eyes tightly, said nothing, let out a breath, and knelt down on the ground again.
Feng Yiyue covered her mouth, opened her red eyes wide, and took a few steps back.
When Nanny Yan looked at her again, she staggered, turned around and ran away.
There was a flash of contempt in Nanny Yan's eyes, but she didn't let the palace servants chase after them.
Miao Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dazzling midday sun in the sky, and his eyes returned to their calm and peaceful state.
Two hours later, the sun's shadow had moved westward.
Except for the shadow moving with the sunset, Miao Wangshu did not move at all, like a dead person. Nanny Yan could not help but gnashing her teeth. The Queen Mother had asked her to provoke and torture Miao Zhaoyi, how could she report this to the Queen Mother?
She deliberately stayed for a quarter of an hour longer, but Miao Zhaoyi still didn't move.
No matter how unwilling Nanny Yan was, she could do nothing but scold a few more times, then left in a majestic manner with the palace maids of the Cining Palace.
Manluo hid aside and watched her master suffer. She had already burst into tears. At this moment, she hurried out to support her, her voice trembling: "Master, they are gone, get up quickly..."
Miao Wangshu's knees were numb from the pain, and he couldn't get up even with her help. Just as he was about to call for another person, he remembered that after being demoted to a concubine, all the other palace maids were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, leaving only Manluo.
However, someone suddenly supported his other arm.
She turned her head and saw Feng Yiyue with red and swollen eyes and tear-stained face.
Miao Wangshu frowned, and every word he said was painful: "Didn't I tell you to get out?"
Feng Yiyue shook her head with tears in her eyes: "No, sister didn't ask me to leave, she was just afraid that they would beat me too."
Miao Wangshu sneered: "You think too much, I'm just afraid that you, a fool, will bring trouble to me."
Feng Yiyue's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she sobbed: "I, I know I'm stupid, I know I have no brains, I know I always cause trouble for you and the queen, I want to change, but I don't know how to be smart... Sister, I will listen to you from now on, okay? I will never force myself against you again, please don't chase me away, Daddy and Mommy are thousands of miles away, and Queen Jiang is also under house arrest, I only have you left now, sister..."
Miao Wangshu felt pain in his knees, face, and ears.
She watched Feng Yiyue crying and talking in front of her, but she doubted whether it was true.
Maybe your ears were broken just now.
"you......"
Miao Wangshu had just said one word when Feng Yiyue hugged her tightly and cried, "Sister, if you tell me to get out again, I will die!"
Miao Wangshu was stunned for a long time, and finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his ears.
She swallowed the blood foam in her mouth, coughed and said, "If I hadn't told you to get out, you would have almost broken my legs."
