Chapter 065 Seeking Death

Then he cleared his throat and asked, "What are you looking at? Don't you know how to save people?"

The guards turned away awkwardly and prepared to step forward.

"Is anyone here? Please save me, I am Hong Liangdi."

When everyone heard that it was Hong Liangdi, they were stunned. If they touched Hong Liangdi, wouldn't they lose their heads?

After hearing this, no one dared to step forward.

Fu Li cursed her in his heart, "What a fool!" This stupid woman exposed her family background. Did she want the whole court to know that their team had looked at all the emperor's concubines?

Fu Li had a headache.

"Commander Fu, what?" None of the guards dared to step forward, but their eyes unconsciously glanced at the ground, wanting to take a few more looks.

"Go and ask for Eunuch Yuanbao."

A guard responded and hurried out.

The other guards didn't know whether to stand or leave, and Commander Fu was at a loss for a moment.

"Are you all dead? Why don't you save me? When I see the emperor later, I will ask him to execute you all!"

Everyone looked at each other. Commander Fu gritted his teeth and cursed the shameless and stupid Hong Liangdi hundreds of times in his heart, but they did not dare to act rashly before the emperor expressed his opinion.

In Yu Garden, Yang Junyi and Jiang Baolin finished burning paper money and were about to take Jiang Baolin back to the palace when they suddenly heard a noise here and a guard standing next to Yuanbao.

"Yuanbao, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, this is a minor matter. A palace maid broke her leg and asked me to help her get a doctor. Your Majesty, are we going back to Yangxin Palace?"

"You go and take a look. Everything must be done according to the rules." After the emperor said this, he embraced Jiang Baolin and walked to the other side.

Watching the emperor and Jiang Baolin disappear into the night, Yuanbao's face turned pale.

"Let's go and have a look."

When Yuanbao arrived, he saw the same scene as the guards saw when they first arrived.

Yuanbao was furious. "What are you looking at? Don't you want your eyeballs anymore?"

Hong Liang Di, who had been shouting for a long time, regained her strength as soon as she heard the familiar voice, "Yuan Bao, is that you, Master Yuan Bao? I am Hong Liang Di."

"How dare you! Hong Liangdi has been confined by the Emperor and is now reflecting on her actions in her own palace. Who are you to impersonate Hong Liangdi?"

As he said this, he kicked the head covered with the black hood.

"I'm really red"

Before she could finish, Yuanbao kicked her a few more times.

Hong Liangdi immediately became dizzy and turned around.

Commander Fu also understood, and he stepped forward and kicked the twisting body, venting all his anger at Hong Liangdi's scolding.

After a while, the twisting body stopped moving.

Yuanbao winked.

Commander Fu stood up and cleared his throat. "This maid dared to pretend to be Consort Hong. I beat her to death. If any maid dares to pretend to be a concubine again, she will be beaten to death. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

In fact, all the guards understood in their hearts that Eunuch Yuanbao and Commander Fu had saved the emperor's face and their own heads. If this matter got out and the emperor lost face, none of them would be able to survive.

Moreover, the woman in front of them was most likely Hong Liangdi. But even if she was, they couldn't say it was true. It was impossible for a few punches and kicks to kill a person. How to deal with it afterwards was no longer their business.

They were in for a treat today.

After Commander Fu finished speaking, everyone quickly walked back and continued their patrol, leaving only Commander Fu and Yuanbao.

Commander Fu quickly took out a bag of silver and said, "Thank you for tonight, sir. Take this and have some tea."

Yuanbao did not refuse and took the silver. "This woman is so stupid that she will get into trouble sooner or later, but she can't drag us into it. Let's go back and see the situation. If the situation is good, she will be finished."

Yuanbao remembered the look in the emperor's eyes when he carried Jiang Baolin away just now, and hoped that Jiang Baolin would fight back tonight.

“Then what should we do with her? Or should we just…” Commander Fu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Not yet." Yuanbao pulled off the black hood.

A foul stench came over me.

The woman's face was covered with something like ink, and her face was so swollen that it looked unrecognizable. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell what she looked like. But if you looked closely, you could still recognize her. It was indeed Hong Liangdi.

"Throw her back to the bedroom and send a few people to guard her. No one in Hong Liangdi's palace is allowed to leave before the emperor gives the order. I will find a chance to tell the emperor again."

Commander Fu immediately agreed and did as he was told.

The next morning, all the concubines went to pay their respects to Concubine Ying. Jiang Baolin asked for leave, but Concubine Hong Liang did not come and did not ask for leave either.

Wei Chongyuan complained: "This Hong Liang Di is just too lax. She comes when she wants to and doesn't come when she doesn't want to. She really doesn't care about Concubine Ying."

Concubine Ying said nothing, but glanced at Wei Chongyuan.

Wei Chongyuan curled her lips.

"You don't even take Sister Chongyuan into consideration. After all, you are the one helping to manage the harem." Li Pingting, who usually speaks little, also started to criticize Wei Chongyuan.

Wei Chongyuan ignored her because of Concubine Rong and snorted, "This Jiang Baolin was silent all night and couldn't even come to pay his respects to the emperor."

"The emperor hasn't turned over the cards for such a long time. Jiang Baolin must have worked hard last night." Xia Lu said in a low voice.

"It's okay to work a little hard. Unlike Lady Xia, you have never worked hard." Wei Chongyuan retorted one by one.

Xia Lu bit her lower lip tightly, her face flushed.

When Xia Lu went back to learn how to greet from Xia Xue, she scolded Wei Chongyuan all over.

Xia Xue chuckled, "Being able to take advantage with words doesn't mean you're really living a good life. If there weren't such people among the concubines, how boring it would be for you to pay respects. For example, when it comes to Hong Liangdi's affairs, there's always someone with a big mouth who comes out to publicize it."

"By the way, sister, how was Hong Liangdi last night? Why wasn't there any news at all, and she didn't come to pay her respects this morning." Xia Lu asked.

"I'm afraid she won't be able to greet you for a while."

"Ah, we didn't hit her hard yesterday."

"It doesn't matter how hard we hit her. What matters is that she was badly hurt in the end."

"Ah? Why?"

"Based on the outfit she wore last night, if she hadn't called for help, she might have had a chance of survival, but what about her?"

"Keep shouting for help." Xia Lu replied.

Xia Xue nodded.

"If the emperor saw it, and there were other people around, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood." Xia Lu seemed to understand.

“Let’s wait and see.”

"This morning they all said that Jiang Baolin met the emperor at night. When did she go out last night? Why didn't she tell me a word?"

Xia Xue flicked her head. "The less you know, the longer you live. You are not obligated to explain everything about yourself to anyone."

Xia Lu curled her lips, still feeling a little disappointed.

In the Yangxin Palace, Yuanbao saw that the emperor was in a good mood and thought that Jiang Baolin had performed well last night, but he thought about it and did not mention the matter of Hong Liangdi for the time being.

At night, the emperor turned over Jiang Baolin's name card again.

This situation continued until the third day, when Yuanbao finally felt relieved and prepared to tell the emperor about Hong Liangdi's matter.

"Your Majesty~"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ying requests an audience." Yuanbao was interrupted.
