What on earth is Your Majesty talking about?
Tears were still hanging in the corners of Shu Guipin's eyes, and her crystal clear eyeballs were moving slightly.
She stared at the Emperor in front of her with wide eyes in disbelief, as if she was trying hard to see clearly.
These words truly came from the mouth of His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Shu Guipin never expected that Your Majesty would not scold Shen Fu.
Instead, ask yourself, how did you offend her?
Shu Guipin's eyes widened as she looked at His Majesty in front of her as if he were a stranger.
"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Shen who hit me first!" Concubine Shu almost shouted, "Why didn't Your Majesty punish Concubine Shen, but instead blamed me?"
Shu Guipin's voice was too aggressive.
Sitting high on the seat, Xiao Yu's eyes couldn't help but become gloomy.
"Shu Guipin." His Majesty's voice was filled with warning, and the impatience in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Shu Guipin, who was kneeling on the ground, fell down and her body went limp. "Your Highness..."
Shu Guipin lowered her head and her body began to tremble.
She was too hot-headed and excited, and forgot that the person in front of her was the Emperor.
His Majesty was not so good-tempered and let her call him by.
He looked at her with cold eyes, and soon Shu Guipin couldn't raise her head.
Shu Guipin lowered her head, not daring to look at the person in front of her.
After a long while, the voice of His Majesty came from behind the desk: "I know the origin of the dragon."
Xiao Yu looked at the person kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and lightly flipped the letter in his hand.
He said expressionlessly: "You go back first."
Shu Guipin knelt on the ground and raised her head with disbelief.
She looked at the Emperor in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, I..." Shu Guipin's hand fell on her cheek, and tears were already in her eyes.
If she had cried that tear just now on purpose for His Majesty to see, then these tears now were her true feelings.
Shu Guipin's face was full of grievances and she didn't know who to tell. She just looked at the Emperor with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..." Concubine Shu Guipin didn't want to say anything.
But when she looked at the Emperor's expression, she didn't dare to stay any longer.
She knew the Emperor's temper. If she continued to act in front of him, she would be in trouble.
He could only stand up obediently with the help of the palace maid.
But when he turned around, he looked back with anticipation.
She looked at His Majesty's face and asked expectantly, "Will His Majesty make the decision for me?"
She turned sideways and looked in the direction of His Majesty.
Half of the man's face was turned sideways, which happened to be the side that was hit. The cheek is raised high, and the mark of the slap is particularly obvious.
Coupled with a pair of tearful eyes, she looks really pitiful.
Xiao Yu paused where the folded paper was, and waited for a while before opening it again.
"I understand."
His Majesty simply said, "I understand," neither agreeing nor refusing.
The hope in Shu Guipin's eyes was extinguished in an instant.
She forced a smile, but when she turned around, she felt hopeless.
After leaving the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Shu Guipin couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
"Empress!" The nanny beside her was startled and hurriedly supported her.
Concubine Shu fell into the arms of Nanny and cried, "Your Majesty, this is not going to make the decision for me!"
*****
In summer, the sound of cicadas can be heard everywhere.
The news that Concubine Shu was beaten was kept secret.
Although the news had not yet been spread, Shen Fu was equally panicked.
Beating Concubine Shu is no small matter. After waiting for several days, Shen Fu did not receive any punishment from His Majesty.
Compared with her father, Concubine Shu is more diligent in her work in the Qing Palace than before.
A few times, it happens every other day.
After Shen Fu heard this, she was stunned for a long time, but didn't say a word.
Compared to His Majesty, Shen Fu's mind is now on Concubine Zhou.
After Xiao Guizi was injured, Shen Fu also sent people to look for her.
But in the past few days, Concubine Zhou has not appeared.
Shen Fu wanted to find out information about her, but she didn't know where to start for a moment.
"It's hidden very well." Inside the Hehuan Palace, Chen Fu lightly tapped the table with her armored hand.
Although there was a smile on his face, that smile never reached his eyes.
When Zi Su saw her queen like this, she felt a chill in her heart.
She looked at Shen Fu silently, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Lady Zhou."
No matter how powerful Concubine Zhou is, she is just a little beauty after all. She neither has the favor of His Majesty nor his heart.
With this identity, there is really no need for their queen to worry about it.
“If she shows her face in front of the Empress Dowager, it will be difficult for me to cure her in the future.” Chen Fu lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
In the entire harem, the only person no one dared to offend was the Empress Dowager.
She didn't know what special purpose Zhou Shuyun had in looking for the Empress Dowager, but Shen Fu was still worried.
But the news from the Empress Dowager's palace was not something she could find out at all.
She knew clearly that Lady Zhou had bad intentions, but she couldn't find out, which really upset her.
Chen Fu couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't been tripped by His Majesty that day, she wouldn't be in such a situation today.
Judging from the behavior of Lady Zhou, she must have succeeded in whatever she wanted.
Thinking of this, Shen Fu's face turned cold.
Even the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tighten a little.
"Have any flowers been sent to the palace from the Imperial Garden in the past few days?"
Zi Su watched her queen's expression from the side, although she didn't know why the queen was so fond of Concubine Zhou.
But seeing the queen's expression, he still replied cautiously.
"The flower room delivered a batch of roses a few days ago." Of course, the flower room now delivers Chen Fu's favorite orchids every other day.
However, His Majesty has not come to the Hehuan Palace during this period of time.
The people in the greenhouse began to replace the roses with inferior products.
The servants knew all these things, but they never reported them to Chen Fu.
"The servants in the flower room are really fawning on the powerful." Zi Su didn't say these words, but how could Chen Fu not understand?
She sneered and said calmly, "Go find some lotus flowers."
When Zi Su heard this, her eyes widened instantly.
She tilted her head and stepped forward cautiously to remind him, "My Lady, aren't you allergic to lotus?"
Chen Fu is allergic to lotus, and has forbidden these things from appearing around her since she was a child.
After entering the palace, Shen Fu also had an allergic reaction once. The Emperor was so frightened that he ordered all the lotus flowers around to be pulled out.
Nowadays, in the entire Forbidden City, it is very rare to find lotus flowers.
Chen Fu couldn't stand or touch this thing.
What is the purpose of looking for this lotus now?
After hearing this, Zi Su looked at Chen Fu with her eyes wide open, obviously unwilling to accept.
Chen Fu was too lazy to explain to Zi Su, and just said: "This is the only way to solve my predicament today."
She had to find Zhou Shuyun among the servants in the greenhouse and resolve the crisis herself.
Shen Fu had waited for so long, and it seemed that His Majesty was unwilling to bow his head.
His Majesty is so arrogant, she will be the only one to suffer in the future.
The two of them had been at odds with each other for such a long time that, not to mention others, even the servants in the flower room dared to pass inferior goods off as good ones for her in the palace.
