Chapter 242 How insolent you are! presumptuous!
The hair on our body is given by our parents. Women generally regard their hair as a treasure and will never cut it casually.
But now, Bai Wutong's knife not only made Xiyue lose her hair, but also made her ugly.
How can a woman face people with dignity if she loses her hair?
This is a great shame and humiliation for Xiyue!
But she was just a slave, and she was seriously injured now. Even if she was not injured, with her status, what could she do to Bai Wutong?
"Painful, right? Of course it is painful. The pain they endured was a hundred times more terrible than what you are going through now!"
Her father and mother were cruelly pinned down and skinned alive by Jin Weige and others!
That tragic scene is still vivid in my mind!
Even if she were asked to pay back these blood feuds a hundred or a thousand times, it would not be enough to quell the anger in her heart.
As for Jin Weige, there will be plenty of opportunities to make her suffer in the future.
She must pay for all the sins she committed!
Xiyue was shocked and frightened. She couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Seeing this, Bai Wutong calmly called Chan'er over and said, "Have someone treat her. We must keep her alive no matter what. We must not let her die so easily."
About two hours later, Jin Weige slowly woke up.
She looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in a daze, her mind in chaos, and it took her a while to gradually recall what had happened before.
"How dare the bitch Zhao Fei attack me!" As soon as she thought of it, she became furious and wanted to sit up, but the severe pain in her neck made her unable to move.
"Your Majesty, please don't move. The imperial physician said that your neck is seriously injured and you need to recuperate for a while." The palace maid beside her hurried forward to dissuade her.
"Why are you here? Where's Xiyue?"
Jin Weige was forced to lie down again. The pain just now made her eyes red and tears almost burst out.
Upon hearing Xiyue's name, the maid's eyes instantly turned red, and she cried, "Your Majesty, Sister Xiyue was ordered by Concubine Zhao to be caned forty times. Now she is almost dead and can only rely on drugs to barely maintain her life!"
"What?" Jin Weige's eyes were red with anger. "How dare she! Quick, help me up. I want to go see Xiyue!"
"My lady, your injury has not healed yet..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not to the point where I can't even walk!" Jin Weige was extremely anxious. Jiayue was gone, and now Xiyue was the only close person left by her side. She must not lose her again!
The palace maid had no choice but to carefully help Jin Weige up.
The two of them supported each other and moved out of the house step by step with difficulty.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by two maids.
"Madam Concubine Jin, you are finally awake, that's good." One of the maids said with a fake smile, "The emperor has ordered that when you wake up, you must return to Yaoguang Palace immediately. Without the emperor's order, you cannot step out of the palace for the time being."
"What does the emperor mean by this? He wants to put me under house arrest again?" Jin Weige bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bleeds, feeling aggrieved.
It was clearly her who was bullied and beaten by Bai Wutong, so why was it she who was grounded instead of Bai Wutong?
She is the victim!
"I want to see the Emperor!"
The nanny seemed to be servile on the surface, but in fact she had no intention of giving in at all. "Madam Concubine Jin, the emperor is currently very busy with the epidemic, so please don't make things worse."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me? Get out of here!"
Jin Weige was already full of anger, and now he took it all out on the nanny.
Before she could do anything, several eunuchs and guards emerged from behind the nanny and surrounded her.
The leading eunuch said respectfully, "Madam Concubine Jin, the sedan chair is ready. We will take you back to Yaoguang Palace."
"I won't leave! Who dares to touch me?"
"Empress Jin, I'm sorry for the offense!" The two maids looked at each other, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly held her arms. Regardless of her resistance, they pressed her on the sedan chair.
"How dare you! How dare you!"
Jin Weige was in pain all over, unable to move, and couldn't even turn her neck. "Let me go! I want to see the emperor and ask for an explanation in person!"
"Where's Xiyue? I still want to see Xiyue!"
No one answered her and the sedan chair was lifted steadily.
The eunuchs hurried away in the direction of Yaoguang Palace.
Bai Wutong stood on the steps of Tishun Hall, watching all this quietly.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a sneer, "Once Xiyue's life is saved, send her back to Yaoguang Palace so that the master and servant can be reunited."
The night was as dark as ink, gradually enveloping the entire capital city.
The capital city, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down and was no longer chaotic.
But this silence exudes a sense of dead silence.
The entire Daxing Street was in a mess at the moment.
On the streets, items were scattered all over the ground, and the scene was so dilapidated that it was unbearable to look at.
The general sat alone on a chair at home, with nothing intact around him.
Those books that he had collected with great care and regarded as treasures were now brutally destroyed and torn to pieces by the people.
They would rather destroy what they cannot take away than keep it.
In the face of the fear of death, the usual order of hierarchy has long since disappeared. Only despair and madness remain in people's hearts, and they only want to drag everyone to hell together.
Mrs. Qiu sobbed softly and cried, "Master, they are too much! What should I do? I couldn't bear to wear those jewelry, but they were snatched away by those low-class people. They are worth thousands of taels of silver!"
"Stop crying!" The general was upset and couldn't help shouting, "We are lucky. Do you know how many people died today?"
Qiu's face was covered with tears. She raised her head with fear in her eyes, "Someone... is dead?"
She had thought that others would escape by hiding in the cellar like them.
However, this is not the case. Some people are used to being high and mighty in their daily lives and do not take the common people into account at all. They even try to scare them away with their majesty.
Not only did he fail to achieve his wish, but he also lost his life.
The general raised his hand and wiped his face, trying to calm himself down. There was a hint of sorrow in his voice, "Most of my old friends are dead!"
"What!" Qiu stopped crying instantly, "So many people died?"
The general held on to the armrest tightly. "I understand. The man behind this is not only targeting Concubine Zhao, but he also has great ambitions. He wants to completely change the power in the court! With so many ministers dead, the emperor must promote new people to fill the vacancies. But now that the imperial examination has not started yet, the emperor does not have many available people, so he can only ask others to recommend them. By then, someone with ulterior motives can completely manipulate this matter!"
"Horrible! So terrible!" The more the general thought about it, the more frightened he became. "Who on earth is this? How could he be so bold! This is clearly... clearly someone who wants to be the second Duke of Zhenguo!"
