1052 hit, what a pity for a beauty

With the Phoenix Hairpin in hand, Feng Qingchen can ignore everyone in the harem. Of course, the Phoenix Hairpin is just a symbol after all, and has no real power. At most, it can only annoy the Empress. It is impossible to punish the Empress for this...

However, if she fails to beat the big one, she will suffer the consequences for the small one. Didn't the Queen want to protect Concubine Su? Didn't Concubine Su rely on her status as the favorite concubine to cause trouble for her? Now the situation has changed, and it is her turn to find trouble with Concubine Su.

Feng Qingchen called Concubine Su and turned to the Queen and said, "Queen, Concubine Su ignored the Phoenix Hairpin given by the late Emperor. If I hadn't reacted quickly, Concubine Su would have almost broken the Phoenix Hairpin with that slap just now."

"I didn't, you wronged me." Su Fei knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately refuted it, but Feng Qingchen would not let her escape and asked back: "Wronged? How could Qingchen wrong you? If Qingchen had not reacted quickly, the slap from the majesty just now would have hit the hairpin on Qingchen's head. Majesty, don't deny it, your wrist is still red now."

"I..." Concubine Su quickly hid her wrist and looked at the Queen with infinite grievance.

She was the one who was beaten...

This trick worked for the Emperor, but it was completely useless for the Empress and Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen continued to ask the Empress, "Empress, I wear the phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late Emperor, but Concubine Su scolds me and hits me as soon as she opens her mouth. Is this considered disrespectful?"

"Okay..." The Queen took a deep breath and nodded. She didn't expect Feng Qingchen to bring the Phoenix Hairpin into the palace. If Feng Qingchen insisted on causing trouble for Concubine Su, this matter would definitely not end well.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Su knelt at the Queen's feet with a thud. Her little face was bloodless and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked so pitiful.

Unfortunately, all the people present were cold-blooded and heartless women. Feng Qingchen ignored Concubine Su's pitiful appearance and continued, "Your Majesty, since Concubine Su is wrong, should we punish her for disrespect?"

"Miss Feng is right. Concubine Su does deserve to be punished. Concubine Su, I will punish you to copy the palace rules a hundred times and then confine you to house arrest for a month." The Queen answered obediently. She didn't want to protect Concubine Su, but she wanted to save her own face.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Su was the Queen's person. When Feng Qingchen slapped Concubine Su in the face in front of the Queen, he was actually slapping the Queen in the face.

When Concubine Su heard this, she was delighted. She knew that the Queen would protect her. She was about to accept the punishment, but Feng Qingchen did not give her a chance. She seemed puzzled and said, "Queen, is your punishment wrong? Just now Concubine Su said that I was disrespectful to her and wanted to give me fifty strokes of the cane. How come Concubine Su was confined to her house for disrespecting the gift given by the late Emperor?"

This was to force the Queen to hit Concubine Su. Concubine Su did not dare to speak, and only looked at the Queen with resentment. The Queen was forced into no choice but to ask, "So, Miss Feng is going to hit Concubine Su?"

"What your Majesty said... really leaves Qingchen speechless. How dare Qingchen hit Concubine Su? I just ask your Majesty to punish her impartially. Is it possible that the late queen is not as good as a concubine?" If one offends Concubine Su, he will be beaten. What about offending the sacred objects?

This sentence put the queen in a dilemma, but she changed her mind and realized that Concubine Su was a favored person in front of the emperor. If she was beaten because of Feng Qingchen, the emperor would definitely settle the score with Feng Qingchen.

Thinking of Feng Qingchen's arrogant look when she relied on the Phoenix Hairpin, the Queen didn't care about her face anymore and said calmly: "Miss Feng is right. Since Concubine Su has violated the gift given by the late emperor, she will be beaten with sixty sticks."

"Your Majesty is fair and strict. Qingchen admires you. Although Qingchen can't bear to see Concubine Su being punished, he dare not break the rules of the harem." Feng Qingchen beat someone and did it well. The Queen was almost angry to death. But when she thought that Concubine Su would be ruined after this incident and Feng Qingchen would not get any good out of it, she calmed down.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Su looked at the Queen in disbelief, her beautiful eyes wide open.

"What are you still standing there for? Drag him away and beat him." The queen waved her hand impatiently.

The Queen Mother did not feel sorry for Concubine Su, the chess piece. This woman, Concubine Su, was already a discarded piece. How could a palace concubine who had been beaten down have any way out? Without Concubine Su, she would naturally have other favored concubines to use.

"My Lady...My Lady, please spare my life."

"My Lady, I know I was wrong. My Lady... Please forgive me for all the things I have done for you."

Concubine Su was held down by the eunuchs and kept crying. The Queen became impatient and had someone cover her mouth.

The eunuch who was carrying out the execution quickly placed the bench in place, pinned Concubine Su down, and started beating her regardless of her struggles. After ten blows, blood was already visible on her back.

This is... a ruthless act, treating Concubine Su as an abandoned child.

Feng Qingchen looked at the Queen thoughtfully, then pretended not to know and put the phoenix hairpin back into her bun. When the Queen saw the position of the hairpin, she was so angry that she broke her nails.

Feng Qingchen was so insidious. She wore the late queen's phoenix hairpin on her head, but hid it in her hair. No one could see it unless she took it out.

Feng Qingchen had planned this out long ago. If Concubine Su ran into him, she would be in big trouble. She was such a favored concubine, but before she could get enough of her arrogance, she fell into the hands of Feng Qingchen.

Concubine Su was delicate to begin with. After being hit with twenty sticks, she could no longer move. She collapsed into a ball, lying there lifeless, with her hands hanging limply at her sides. Imperial Noble Concubine Xie also noticed something was wrong at this time, and her face changed slightly.

There were certain rules for beating with sticks in the palace. Sometimes ten sticks would cripple a person, while sometimes a hundred sticks would only result in minor injuries.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie originally thought that the Queen's order to have Concubine Su beaten was just a formality. Concubine Su would be healed in ten days or half a month after being beaten with sixty sticks. However, it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie looked at Feng Qingchen worriedly. She knew that Feng Qingchen just wanted to save face for the Queen and Concubine Su so that they would not dare to cause trouble for Feng Qingchen easily. But she did not expect that the Queen would be so cruel.

If the emperor knew that his beloved beauty died because of Feng Qingchen, he would probably hate Feng Qingchen to death in a short period of time, and might even want to use Feng Qingchen to pay for his life.

What should I do?

Feng Qingchen shook his head at Noble Consort Xie, telling her not to worry.

Although the Queen beating Concubine Su to death was beyond her expectations, but... in this world, women have to rely on men, and as long as the Ninth Prince is not defeated, the Emperor will not take her life.

She should just take out the phoenix hairpin to save her life at the critical moment. I guess the emperor and the empress will not let her keep the phoenix hairpin.

Seeing that Feng Qingchen had a plan, Imperial Noble Consort Xie breathed a sigh of relief. A woman who was about to give birth could not stand the blood. Imperial Noble Consort Xie was about to say goodbye to the Queen, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard the eunuch shouting, "The Emperor has arrived!"

She came so quickly, perhaps she rushed here right after the court session. This Concubine Su is indeed the apple of the emperor's eye.

At this time, Feng Qingchen did not dare to use the phoenix hairpin to bully others, and knelt down obediently to pay her respects. The Queen and Imperial Noble Consort Xie only paid half a courtesy...
