Chapter 698 You have to be on guard!
Baoqin said calmly, "I heard that Qingsong was punished, and I was in a hurry. I rushed in without telling anyone. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Concubine Lu snorted, "What if I don't forgive you?"
Baoqin: "If I remember correctly, this is the Misty Rain Palace, and it should not be the turn of the Concubine to be the master."
Concubine Lu: "How dare you! You are just a little palace maid, how dare you talk to me like that?!"
Baoqin lowered her head and said, "I have always been straightforward in my words. If I have offended you, please do not take it to heart, Concubine."
Concubine Lu was extremely angry.
It would have been fine if she couldn't deal with the imperial concubine, but she actually spoke to her like this as a mere palace maid.
This is intolerable!
Concubine Lu pointed at Baoqin angrily.
"Get down on your knees!"
Baoqin knelt down without changing her expression, her back still straight: "If you want to lecture me, please hurry up. The Imperial Concubine is still waiting for my report."
Concubine Lu: "How dare you use the Imperial Concubine to pressure me?!"
Although the Empress Dowager had warned her not to act rashly again, she was now furious and didn't care about anything else? !
She raised her hand and slapped Baoqin hard on the face!
The moment her fingertips touched Dao Baoqin's cheek, Baoqin fell to the ground.
She raised her hands to cover her face, looked up at Concubine Lu, and said with red eyes.
"Even if I am just a servant, I am also a senior maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. When you act like this, have you ever considered the Imperial Concubine's face?"
Concubine Lu became even angrier.
The slap she gave just now seemed very hard, but in fact it was just a touch on Baoqin's face.
But in the eyes of others, it seemed that Concubine Lu slapped Baoqin so hard that she fell to the ground.
Lu Jieyu laughed in anger: "You are worthy of being the dog kept by the imperial concubine. You really know how to act! Since you want to act, I will help you and make your fake play real! Come, tie up this disrespectful slave and give her thirty strokes of the cane, no, fifty strokes of the cane!"
Liu Xu was originally still thinking about how to deal with Baoqin, but when she heard Lu Jieyu directly confronting Baoqin, she was happy to watch the show.
But she didn't expect that Concubine Lu would actually torture Baoqin.
That's a bit too much.
After fifty blows of the stick, Baoqin would be crippled if not dead.
After all, Baoqin was a senior maidservant beside the imperial concubine. She was not like Qingsong, a stray dog who had no one to care whether she was dead or alive. If Baoqin was beaten to death in the Yanyu Palace, this matter would definitely not be resolved peacefully.
The Imperial Concubine is in favor now. If she takes advantage of the situation, the Emperor might vent his anger on Concubine Bai in order to make her happy.
The catkins can no longer sit idly by.
While persuading Concubine Lu to calm down, she secretly winked at the little palace maid beside her.
The little palace maid understood and quickly ran to report to Concubine Bai.
After Bai Fei learned about this, she just said it lightly.
"This is Misty Rain Palace, not a place for them to quarrel. Let them go back and calm down."
When Liu Xu learned what Concubine Bai meant, she immediately spoke politely to Concubine Lu.
"Empress Bai is in poor health and is still recovering. She cannot stand being disturbed. I hope your Majesty will understand."
When Concubine Lu heard this, she regained some of her rationality.
She knew that she was impulsive. Even if she was a concubine, she could not casually beat and kill the senior palace maid beside the imperial concubine in front of so many people.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"Miss Liu Xu, please ask Madam Bai Fei to take good care of herself. I will go back now and visit her another day."
Liu Xu smiled and said yes.
Before leaving, Concubine Lu did not forget to glare at Baoqin fiercely.
Just wait!
There is still a long way to go. When she gets the chance in the future, let’s see how she will deal with this bitch!
Baoqin stood up, smoothed the dust off her clothes, and said as if nothing had happened.
"Please ask Miss Liuxu to tell Queen Bai that I will take Qingsong to Weiyang Palace to meet Queen Guifei."
Liu Xu rolled her eyes: "Just wait."
After saying that, she turned and left.
This walk lasted a long time.
Baoqin was not in a hurry either. She knew that Concubine Bai was unwilling to hand over the person, but Concubine Bai had no reason to refuse.
No matter how long we delay, we still have to let her take the person away in the end.
Who made the status of the imperial concubine higher than that of the Bai Fei?
This is the rule of the palace, status is above everything.
Baoqin untied the rope on Qingsong and helped him up.
"How are you?"
Qingsong's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, Sister Baoqin, thank you!"
He knew that if Baoqin had not appeared in time today, he would have been dead.
It was Baoqin who pulled him back from the brink of death.
Baoqin took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face: "Don't cry, if your eyes get swollen from crying, how will you see the imperial concubine later?"
Qing Song: "I, I won't cry. I definitely won't cry!"
He tried hard to hold his breath, trying to hold back the tears, but instead of holding back the tears, his face turned red.
Baoqin couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how silly he looked.
Seeing her laugh, Qingsong couldn't help but laugh too.
His facial expressions were twitching from laughing to crying, making him look even funnier.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Xu finally came back.
She said unhappily.
"Empress Bai said that Qingsong is a servant of Concubine Yan. If you want to take him to see the Imperial Concubine, just go find Concubine Yan. Empress Bai is not in good health. The imperial physician said that she needs to rest. Don't bother her with trivial matters like this in the future."
Baoqin ignored her eyes that were about to roll up to the sky and said calmly, "Thank you, Queen Bai."
Then Baoqin went to see Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan did not dare to offend Concubine Bai, let alone Concubine Gui.
When she learned of Baoqin's purpose, she agreed without hesitation.
"Since the Imperial Concubine wants to see Qingsong, take him there quickly. Don't keep the Imperial Concubine waiting for too long."
Baoqin brought Qingsong back to Weiyang Palace.
Xiao Xixi was lying on the couch reading a storybook. When she learned that Baoqin had returned, she immediately threw the storybook away, sat up and looked towards the door.
Baoqin led Qingsong into the hall.
Baoqin stepped forward and greeted him: "Madam, I have brought Qingsong here."
Although Baoqin had said on the way that the imperial concubine was a very easy person to get along with, Qingsong was still uneasy.
He knelt down as soon as he entered the door.
"Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
Xiao Xixi noticed the two red marks on Baoqin's right cheek and couldn't help but frown.
"Why is there a wound on your face?"
Baoqin touched her face and thought about what happened in the Yanyu Palace just now. She thought she had avoided it, but unexpectedly, she was still scratched by Concubine Lu's nails.
She did not hide anything and told the story of being slapped by Concubine Lu, and said at the end.
"Lu Jieyu is a vicious person. She relies on the fact that she is the niece of the Grand Empress Dowager and doesn't take you seriously at all. If she gains power in the future, she will definitely find ways to embarrass you. You must be on guard!"
