Murong Qingyun looked depressed and really wanted to spit at this woman, but Murong Yan pulled Murong Qingyun to kowtow in time and said, "This servant knows that I was wrong. I will definitely change next time. Please give this servant a chance, Your Majesty."
"Please give me a chance, Your Majesty." Murong Qingyun could only kowtow to Concubine Duan in a duck-like voice.
In his heart, he cursed: "Damn it! Why are all the women in the palace so cheap? She's already a concubine, and she still doesn't know how to control her temper. When I take the throne, I will cut this woman who humiliated me into pieces!"
It's a pity that Concubine Duan had finally managed to step on the tails of these two cunning servants. How could she give up just like that?
"Eunuch Wei, these two servants are disrespectful to this Concubine Dowager. How should they be dealt with according to the law?"
"Your Majesty, I deserve 30 strokes of the cane."
Murong Qingyun and Murong Yan's scalps went numb upon hearing this. Thirty lashes of the cane were something they had never experienced before. Who could have imagined that they would capsize in a gutter today and be beaten for no apparent reason?
Murong Yan immediately gave Qian Ye Bingmeng a look, indicating that she should beg for mercy.
Upon hearing this, Qianye Bingmeng immediately perked up. She was happy in her heart, but on the surface, she looked anxious. "Mother, they just didn't greet you in time. You could have scolded them, but why did you have to beat them with a stick? Just spare them!"
Qianye Bingmeng performed very well. Even Murong Qingyun and Murong Yan felt that although this princess was a little mentally retarded, she still had a good grasp of such major issues.
But they had no idea that Murong Yan's small action hadn't escaped Concubine Duan's sharp eyes. Her action, coupled with Qianye Bingmeng's heartfelt plea, had deeply stung Concubine Duan's sore spot.
Concubine Duan raised a cold smile. "You want the master to help you, right? Then I will make you suffer."
"40 lashes!" The voice of Concubine Duan came coldly.
Murong Qingyu and Murong Yan were startled, glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads. They cursed inwardly, "Gosh! Crazy bitch!" No wonder Qianye Bingmeng's brain felt like it had been pinched by a door. After all this time, it turned out to be inherited from her mother.
Upon hearing this, Qianye Bingmeng's heart blossomed with joy, and she immediately begged for mercy again, "Mother, what do you mean by this? They were just a little late for the ceremony, so why are you punishing them so harshly? They've already apologized to you, and they'll definitely pay attention next time. Why are you picking on two servants?"
Seeing that the princess was willing to contradict herself for the sake of these two servants, Concubine Duan became even more angry. She was so angry at these two servants who were trying to sow discord between them that she roared, "50 lashes!"
Upon hearing this, Qianye Bingmeng's heart was once again filled with rage. She continued, "Mother, why are you like this? Do they have a grudge against you? They..."
"Princess!"
Murong Qingyun was still in shock and anger. Damn it, just because they were a little late in greeting, they would be beaten with 50 boards. By then, it would take them ten days to recover!
Fortunately, he was distracted and angry, but Murong Yan reacted faster than him at the critical moment, found the crux of the problem, and stopped it immediately.
"Princess, it is right for the Queen to punish this slave. Princess, you don't need to plead for me anymore. This time it is my fault. I have brought this upon myself. I hope the Queen will calm down. I have been punished this time.
