Chapter 145 I Can't Understand
Isn't it the same to ask people to get up now?
"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." Concubine Yi waved her hand.
Fuxiang was so anxious that she was running around in circles, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do.
Soon, the news that Concubine Yi punished Shen Chuliu to kneel spread. Everyone in the harem knew about it, including Qi Yixiu in the front.
However, by the time the emperor found out, an hour had already passed.
"Punish until dark?" Qi Yixiu's face showed no expression.
"Yes, that's what Concubine Yi said, and now she has sent her own servants to watch over it." Chusi thought that the drama in the harem was really exciting.
"Wake her up." The emperor threw away what he was holding. "It's cold, and there's wind today."
"Oh." Chusi responded.
Chusi thought that the emperor still cared about Concubine Jing.
Chusi went there in person. Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all, she had been kneeling for an hour, her legs had gone numb several times, and she was very cold.
"My beauty, please go back soon. I will ask the kitchen to serve you well." Chu Si said.
"I'm not in a hurry. The emperor has pardoned me for my disrespect to Concubine Yi, but I haven't done anything yet about Concubine Yi's servants being disrespectful to me." Shen Chuliu's lips turned pale, but she smiled: "Don't bother the eunuch, and don't alarm the emperor. For such a small matter, I can ask the queen myself."
Hua Shan was shocked: "Why does Miss Jing have to do this? I am just following your orders..."
He actually ignored his master for a moment.
Chu Si looked at the painted fan for a few seconds and smiled: "Then Miss Jing, take care. I will be back soon."
On the fourth day of the New Year, when he returned to Taiji Palace, he told the story: "Miss Jing had been kneeling for too long and was limping. She went to Fengzao Palace."
Qi Yixiu laughed: "She really can't stand any loss."
After a while, he said, "Well, I can't afford to suffer any loss in my daily life, let alone now? I have encouraged her ambition, and the Queen will deal with that servant."
"Yeah." Chusi smiled and nodded.
Of course, the Emperor asked Concubine Jing to get up, so the Empress would naturally give the Emperor face.
Shen Chuliu is so calculating, how could he miss this opportunity to take revenge on the spot?
It was not a big deal for a high-ranking concubine to punish a low-ranking concubine; it was almost the norm.
But what if a concubine of lower rank dethroned a servant of a concubine of higher rank? That would be a joke.
Of course, the joke is high-level.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen was surprised to hear that Concubine Jing was kneeling outside the palace: "What is she going to do?"
"Your Majesty, Lady Jing asked for your help. Lady Yifei's servant Huashan was disrespectful and insulting to her. She could not bear the humiliation and asked your Majesty to deal with Huashan." Emei said this and she didn't know how to describe Lady Jing.
The Queen shook her head: "Why did Concubine Yi do that? There are so many people in the palace, but you chose such a tough one."
"She really knelt down just now. If the emperor hadn't called her, she might have knelt down all night long." Pei Yue curled her lips.
"Even if the emperor doesn't wake her up, I will. Can I ask her to kneel down in the middle of the night?" The queen shook her head and said, "Forget it. Since this girl called Huashan is ignorant, I will punish her with thirty sticks and a monthly salary. I will beat her outside Fengzao Palace to avoid dissatisfaction of Concubine Jing."
Outside, Fan Guanglin came out and said, "Lady Jing, please get up. The ground is very cold. The Queen is worried about you too."
"I have asked someone to bring the painted fan. Then I will give her thirty strokes of the board here and fine her one month's salary. What do you think, Lady Jing?" Fan Guanglin asked with a smile.
"The Queen is wise." Shen Chuliu said loudly.
After saying this, she stood up and said, "Her Majesty the Queen has always been the most fair in her dealings. As long as I come to ask for something, I will not be disappointed. Eunuch Fan, you have worked hard."
"Don't dare, just follow the rules, right?"
Fan Guanglin thought to himself.
With senior servants like Fan Guanglin watching over them, Changle Palace was becoming increasingly unsustainable.
Two great palace maids, this time you're in trouble.
Even if she can still serve as a painted fan, she will no longer be the same as before as a maid in the harem.
The power of servants comes from the favor of their masters and their own bad behavior.
Now this painted fan, the master's favor is not much, and I still make mistakes, will it be okay in the future? Soon, the painted fan came.
She had just returned to Changle Palace, and Concubine Yi had not woken up yet.
Hua Shan knew something was wrong when she saw Shen Chuliu here, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just asked, "Is there something the Queen wants to talk to me about?"
"How dare you be so shameless?" Chi Su sneered, "I told you to come and be punished! Do you think it's okay for a servant to disrespect the master?"
Hua Shan glared at Chi Su but didn't dare to say anything, as they were outside the Queen's palace.
"Since you're here, let's get started." Fan Guanglin said with a smile, "Thirty strokes of the board, hurry up, so that you can ask Miss Huashan to go back and serve you after you're done."
Although after dealing with Li Zhuli, Fan Guanglin should have no resentment towards Changle Palace.
But the eunuchs in the palace are like this.
In the past, Concubine Yi was favored and was at the forefront of everything in Changle Palace. It’s not to be said whether she suffered any injustice, but the fact that she couldn’t stand it was enough to explain it all.
Now, seeing the people in Changle Palace suffer, he naturally felt happy.
Hua Shan was panicking now and begged for mercy desperately, but he was still pressed down on the torture bench.
The eunuchs who carried out the execution were neither too harsh nor too lenient.
The painted fans made a howling sound when they were beaten. Although no other masters were watching, many palace servants saw it.
After thirty beatings, Huashan looked like he had been fished out of the water, covered in cold sweat.
The back is also red.
Although it's not to the point where I can't walk, it still hurts a lot.
In comparison, being fined the monthly salary is nothing.
After expressing his gratitude with the painted fan, he didn't dare to look at Lady Jing again and limped back.
Shen Chuliu knew that the Queen didn't want to see her, so she smiled and thanked the Queen again, then took Chi Su's hand and went back with Zizhu.
Back at Cuiyunxuan, Zirui and several others knew that she was punished to kneel, and they helped her change clothes with red eyes.
Jimei prepared hot water and brought a large wooden tub for her to soak her feet and legs.
"It's okay. I just feel cold. Just drink some ginger soup." Shen Chuliu said.
"Have some hot chicken soup." Jimei said, "It also has ginger in it."
Shen Chuliu nodded and drank some chicken soup.
"Master, Yao Baolin is here to see you." Yuanxiao said softly from outside.
"Call him in." Shen Chuliu didn't move.
Yao Baolin came in and saw her soaking her feet and sighed, "How is it?"
"It's okay, sit down." The two of them have been together for a long time and don't care about this.
Yao Baolin sat down and said, "She has lost her mind!"
"I'm not crazy. As long as I can't die, I'll do it." Shen Chuliu also sneered: "I kneel today, and she won't get any benefit."
"I just don't understand her." Yao Baolin was speechless.
