Chapter 67 This is fucking embarrassing
Concubine Chen raised her head, tears streaming down her face. "Aunt, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I was just... I was just so angry. The Emperor took my power because of Liu Zhiyuan, making me a laughing stock in the harem. I wanted to teach her a lesson and let Bai Ze bite her. I didn't expect... I didn't expect Liu Zhiyuan to be so arrogant. Knowing that Bai Ze was Aunt's favorite, she still instigated the Emperor to kill it!"
She crawled forward and knelt beside the bed, "Aunt, Liu Zhiyuan is spoiled and arrogant. Not only did she wantonly humiliate me, she also doesn't even take you seriously."
The Queen Mother's face was grim. "Liu Zhiyuan, Xiao Yu! You killed my Heng'er and Ming'er, and now you've even killed the only thought Heng'er left for me!"
Good, very good!
The empress dowager's face was filled with gloom when she thought of the pot of dog meat soup that Xiao Yu had sent yesterday.
Concubine Chen's eyes flickered. "Aunt, the Emperor killed Bai Ze because of Liu Zhiyuan. If anything happened to Liu Zhiyuan, the Emperor would understand your grief over the loss of your loved one."
The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Concubine Chen Guifei. Her cold eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people, made Concubine Chen Guifei's heart skip a beat and she quickly lowered her head.
"Put away your little thoughts, go back and reflect on your mistakes, and copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times."
"Yes." Concubine Chen was filled with humiliation, but she dared not speak out.
Get up and leave.
The empress dowager got up with the help of Aunt Jia, drank the ginseng soup sent by the imperial physician, and rested for a few days.
After he felt better, he asked someone to invite Liu Zhiyuan over.
Liu Zhiyuan was lying in the garden of Zining Palace basking in the sun. Hearing this, she frowned, "The Queen Mother wants to see me?"
Jin Fu had given up hope on Liu Zhiyuan's self-proclaimed identity. No matter how many times he corrected her, the Empress would forget it.
She was worried. "Yes, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite you to the Wanshou Palace."
Liu Zhiyuan straightened his face and asked, "Did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"
"They said that the queen should go and receive a lecture."
Listen to the training?
He comes with bad intentions.
Could it be because of the dog last time?
At that time, she was quite surprised that the Empress Dowager's beloved pet was beaten to death by the Emperor in Zining Palace, but he did not attack her.
Now it seems that it is delayed.
Jin Fu obviously thought of Bai Ze's death and became more worried, "Your Majesty, will the Queen Mother be killed because of Bai Ze?"
"I can't rule out this possibility, but I can't be sure. After all, Bai Ze has been dead for several days."
"I heard that the Queen Mother has been ill since Bai Ze's death."
"Why would the Queen Mother be so sick for so long just because a dog died? It's not possible."
Is your health so bad? You'll be lying down for a week if you're angry.
Jin Fu hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The Empress Dowager has been in poor health, and the Imperial Hospital is now run by the Emperor."
Liu Zhiyuan was confused. Why did these two sentences seem inconsistent?
What is the connection between the Empress Dowager's poor health and the fact that the Imperial Medical Bureau is composed of the Emperor's people? Could it be that the Empress Dowager's poor health is the Emperor's fault?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Liu Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.
She sat up straight and met Jin Fu's questioning eyes.
Jin Fu nodded.
Liu Zhiyuan opened his mouth slightly, "How did you know?"
"I have a relationship with an apprentice from the Imperial Hospital, and he let something slip when he was drunk. Your Majesty, this is a palace taboo and cannot be shared with anyone."
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter." If this kind of thing were to be told to others, it would be a waste of time.
"Is the emperor the empress dowager's biological son?" Liu Zhiyuan was determined to shock people.
Jin Fu's face changed completely, and he hurriedly covered her mouth, "Your Majesty, you can't say such things. Of course, the Emperor is the Queen Mother's biological son."
Liu Zhiyuan was even more puzzled. How could a son harm his mother? She also heard some information from Yan Ruyu that when the emperor was a child, the empress dowager sent people to assassinate him.
What kind of mother and son are these?
Love and hate each other?
"Your Highness, please stop asking." Jin Fu was almost terrified. "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor don't have a good relationship. This is known to the entire harem. You are currently favored by the Emperor. If the Empress Dowager asks you to go, it might be a Hongmen Feast. Your Highness, please be careful."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
If anything happened, she could just put the car in reverse.
When I arrived at Wanshou Palace, I was told that the Queen Mother was taking a nap.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned, "When will the Queen Mother wake up?"
Aunt Jia looked arrogant and said, "When the Empress Dowager wakes up, she will naturally summon you."
The tone of his voice is that of a bully.
"Then I will come back after the Queen Mother wakes up."
Aunt Jia glanced at Liu Zhiyuan with disdain, "Empress Liu, the Empress Dowager has instructed that upon your arrival you should first copy books and cultivate your character."
As soon as she finished speaking, two eunuchs brought a table over, placed it in front of her, and spread out some papers on it.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes widened. "Copy here?"
You must be crazy.
It was noon and the sun was so strong, yet she was asked to copy scriptures in the yard while basking in the sun!
Aunt Jia didn't care about her and told her to copy it quickly. When the Empress Dowager woke up, she wanted to check the results, and then she left leisurely.
Liu Zhiyuan wanted to give her the middle finger from behind!
But considering my image, I still endured it.
Jin Fu took out a handkerchief and placed it above Liu Zhiyuan's head to shield her from the sun.
"My lady, what should we do now?"
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at the "Instructions for Women" on the table and rolled her eyes.
What a lunatic! How can she copy such flowery scriptures? Do you want to tire her to death?
"Whoever wants to copy can copy, I won't copy anyway. Let's go over there and enjoy the cool air."
It's so hot today that I feel dizzy after standing for a while. If I sit there and copy scriptures, I will be dried into a salted fish!
Besides, the Queen Mother clearly wanted to make things difficult for her. Whether she copied it or not, she would find excuses to find fault with her. If that was the case, why should she cooperate so obediently?
Jin Fu's face was full of worry, and he wanted Liu Zhiyuan to copy it so that the Queen Mother would not have an excuse to blame him.
However, she felt distressed when she thought about the delicate Concubine Liu being exposed to the scorching sun.
If I had known earlier, I would have sent someone to tell the emperor before leaving Zining Palace. Now there is no way to inform him.
In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Aunt Jia listened to the servant's report, sneered, and returned to the bed.
"Your Highness, Liu Zhiyuan didn't just copy the scriptures. Instead, she went to the eaves to enjoy the cool air. The maid in charge even fanned her. She looked so happy."
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged. "Let her be. She dares to disobey my orders. Let me show you how I will punish her!"
Liu Zhiyuan sat there for two hours and was so hot that she was almost smoking.
Why don’t we go back in reverse and take a rest?
Just as I was thinking this, the arrogant Jia Ma came over with a haughty look on her face. "Lady Liu, please come in."
Liu Zhiyuan rolled her eyes. After two hours, who would believe him if he said he was not deliberately wasting her time?
Fortunately, she did not obey, otherwise she would have suffered from heatstroke and been carried away after being exposed to the sun for four hours.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the empress dowager sitting there, and four big words popped up in Liu Zhiyuan's mind.
He comes with ill intentions.
She knelt and saluted, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother took the tea handed to her by Nanny Jia and spoke slowly, "Princess Liu, have you finished copying the scriptures I asked you to copy?"
“I didn’t copy it.”
The Queen Mother's face turned cold. "Why don't you copy it? You don't respect me! Someone, come! Slap me in the face!"
Liu Zhiyuan said casually, "I can recite it, so I didn't copy it."
"Really? Then recite it to me."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
