Helian Qi was obviously shocked as well, his gaze froze as he looked at Ning Wanyin.
"I only love to eat..." Ning Wanyin's cheeks gradually turned red under his gaze, and she was a little shocked:
"I...I have overstepped my bounds. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Helian Qi came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect you to be so greedy. Pass on my order to build a small kitchen for Lingxue Pavilion."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Wanyin quickly stood up and saluted, with an extremely sincere smile on her face.
Seeing her so excited and happy, Helian Qi didn't say much.
He said, "I have some memorials to review today, so I will go back first. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I look forward to seeing you off." Ning Wanyin bowed and said goodbye.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. According to the rules of the Great Yan Palace, the emperor and the empress sleep together on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Although Empress Yuanxiao has passed away, the emperor will not sleep with other concubines on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. This is against etiquette.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" Wang Degui nodded loudly.
The emperor's procession left the Yonghe Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs in Lingxue Pavilion dared to beg for mercy and kowtowed to Ning Wanyin to apologize.
"Lady Ning, please calm down! I was so frightened that I didn't react for a moment! I am loyal to you!" Xiao Guizi knocked his head so hard that it made a loud noise.
"Master, I have done a great deed! I went to invite His Majesty today..." Danli shouted hurriedly.
If Ning Wanyin falls out of favor, it would be a good thing for her to leave Lingxue Pavilion and go somewhere else.
But now she is in favor!
How could the eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrange a place for them? In order not to offend Ning Wanyin, they must be sent to the Xinzheku.
Ning Wanyin took a sip of the pumpkin porridge in front of her and said calmly, "You work in Lingxue Pavilion, and you get a lot of rewards and benefits on weekdays. I had a conflict with others, but you didn't protect me. How can you get rewards for nothing and not protect your master?"
Serving in the favorite concubine's palace, the rewards they received were more than their lifetime salary compared to ordinary palace servants.
When they walked in the palace, other palace servants also flattered them and gave way to them.
How can it be possible that so much money falls into your hands but you don't care when something goes wrong?
"Considering that this is a first offense, each of you will receive twenty lashes. If you continue to be disloyal and betray your family, you will be sentenced to death." Ning Wanyin glanced at the palace servants and said calmly:
"If you think I'm too harsh and don't want to work for me, you can leave after receiving the whipping."
The palace servants were trembling with fear and there was complete silence.
This master is really cruel.
If you want to leave, you have to get the whip first.
They would all be punished anyway, so who would want to leave? The palace maids who were driven out by the concubine would not be given a good place to go by the inner and outer courts.
"My servant failed to protect the master well and almost let him hurt his body. I am willing to accept the punishment!" Xiao Guizi was a person who responded to the situation and was the first to speak.
The palace servants also kowtowed and accepted the punishment.
Danli also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will do my best for my master in the future!"
"I can't afford to use you. You can leave after you pay the punishment." Ning Wanyin looked at Danli coldly.
Danli panicked and kowtowed quickly, "Master, please spare my life! I am loyal to you..."
Lian Rui had been so angry with her that her teeth were itching. She immediately said, "Why don't you drag her out quickly, beat her up and send her to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"Yes!" In order to atone for their sins, several palace servants rushed to drag Danli out.
Finally, only the master and his servant were left in the attic.
"Fortunately, His Majesty has come..." Lian Rui was deeply afraid. She was really afraid that if she couldn't invite the Emperor, her master would still be in an unknown situation today.
Ning Wanyin looked at her red and swollen eyes and patted her shoulder gently. "Go get a hot towel and apply it to your eyes. They are swollen like walnuts. I will be fine."
"Miss, you're fine. I'm relieved..." Lian Rui rubbed her red eyes and looked at Ning Wanyin and said:
"Luckily, you have Lady Tang to testify for you today. That Concubine Li is so evil!"
"Whether there are witnesses or not, the result is the same. His Majesty did not interrogate the palace servants who were present." Ning Wanyin said.
If the emperor wanted to find out the truth, he would send all the palace maids to the prison.
But to him, it was just a collision between two of his concubines.
So what if Ning Wanyin really pushed Li Jieyu?
He is the emperor, not a judge.
He only chooses people who are useful to him.
So he didn't even ask about the details of the incident and directly dealt with Li Jieyu.
"Indeed! Your Majesty trusts the Master very much!" Lian Rui nodded in sudden realization, having completely misunderstood, "Of course I won't believe other people's slander!"
Ning Wanyin: ...
This must be the case in the eyes of outsiders.
But if she really got into trouble, it would be strange for the emperor to believe her.
But for the emperor, right or wrong of this matter is not worth mentioning.
This is also the reason why she went to ask the emperor for help first.
It is very important to know when to use a backer and when not to use it.
Ning Wanyin lowered her eyes, picked up the ointment that Tang Miaoling had given her on the coffee table, and examined it carefully.
Not poisonous.
When the female doctor came to apply medicine to her just now, she specially showed the ointment to the female doctor and asked whether it was suitable for her injury.
After examining it, the female doctor also said it was a very good healing medicine.
Double verification, it is indeed non-toxic.
Ning Wanyin said to herself, "Tang Miaoling has been acting a little strange lately."
"I do have an idea!" Lian Rui thought seriously, "Could it be that the elders of the Tang family wrote a letter to my cousin, asking her to befriend you. If she is not favored, there is a helper in the palace who can borrow your favor?"
This is quite common.
The concubines who were related to each other were natural alliances.
"If it was to win favor, why did you move away?"
