Chapter 613: Concubine Rougui beats Concubine Bai!

Queen Nie couldn't help but laugh.

Logically, Princess Qing'an should call her A Yan her second cousin, and when she marries Xingxing's third brother, she will be Xingxing's third sister-in-law. But if Xingxing marries A Yan in the future, Princess Qing'an should call Xingxing her second cousin.

Although the real address should naturally be "Venerable", but when they talk about it now, there is indeed a kind of fate that makes people laugh and cry.

Seeing Empress Nie smiling, Emperor Jiazheng's heart moved, and he called "Empress" in a low voice. He was about to go up to her for a kiss, but he heard the eunuch outside reporting that Concubine Rougui had rushed into Concubine Bai's palace and beat her.

Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie were both stunned when they heard this.

Wait.

Who beat who?

The young eunuch knelt on the ground and repeated tremblingly: "It was Concubine Rougui who rushed into Concubine Bai's Muchen Palace and beat Concubine Bai..."

Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Bai Fei was a princess of Xidi, the most noble of the three tribute ladies sent by the new king of Xidi in order to consolidate the "friendship" with Daxia.

Concubine Bai was of a rude nature and good at using a whip. She was considered the most aggressive person in the harem.

Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie were a little more tolerant of Concubine Bai because she was young and far away from her hometown. Seeing the attitude of the emperor and empress, most of the other concubines avoided Concubine Bai and did not dare to offend this big Buddha.

Concubine Rougui is even more so.

Ever since the Seventh Prince was placed in Concubine Rou's care, people in the palace said that Concubine Rou seemed like a different person. In the past, whenever Concubine Rou was unhappy with someone, she would just tattoo a few coquettish words on them, and she would never give face to anyone except Empress Nie.

But now that she has raised the Seventh Prince, Concubine Rougui is content with having a son. She no longer likes to go out to watch the fun, and she is no longer a coquettish and volatile person. Her greatest hobby every day is to hold the Seventh Prince for a walk around her palace to bask in the sun. When she has free time, she makes small clothes for the Seventh Prince with her own hands. Her life is very fulfilling.

Therefore, when Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie heard the eunuch's report that Concubine Rougui had beaten Concubine Bai, their first reaction was that it was impossible.

Now, after hearing the little eunuch repeat it again, it was indeed Concubine Rougui who ran to Muchen Palace and beat up Concubine Bai. Emperor Jiazheng's forehead was throbbing.

Empress Nie frowned and said, "Isn't Concubine Rougui the type who can't control her temper?"

Before Emperor Jiazheng could say anything, another little palace maid from Mucheng Palace came running in crying and complaining that Concubine Bai was whipped by Concubine Rougui and was bleeding. She begged Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie to take charge of Concubine Bai.

Emperor Jiazheng took a deep breath and was about to leave when Empress Nie held down Emperor Jiazheng's arm without leaving a trace and said to the palace maid, "Is the injury serious? Can we call the imperial physician?"

The young palace maid was stunned for a moment and stammered: "We haven't called the imperial physician yet..."

Empress Nie had a rough idea in her mind, and ordered, "Call the imperial physician, and call Concubine Bai and Concubine Rougui over."

The young palace maid did not dare to comment on Empress Nie's decision. She just looked at Emperor Jiazheng as if asking for help.

As a result, Emperor Jiazheng didn't even glance at her.

Instead, Queen Nie glanced at the little palace maid with a half-smile: "What are you still standing there for?"

The little palace maid shuddered, bent down and said, "Yes." Then she hurriedly retreated.

Not long after, Concubine Bai came over with her hands roughly wrapped in a handkerchief and tears in her eyes.

The handkerchief was covered in blood, and Bai Fei's cuffs were also stained with blood, but other than that, there seemed to be no other place that could be called "bloody".

Queen Nie curled the corners of her mouth.

When Concubine Bai saw Emperor Jiazheng, she burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rougui hit me so hard that it hurt."

Concubine Bai had always been unruly and fierce, like a rose with thorns in Emperor Jiazheng's harem. Suddenly, she started crying and acting coquettishly to Emperor Jiazheng, who actually felt a little sympathy for her and asked the imperial physician to bandage Concubine Bai's wound.

As soon as the handkerchief was lifted, the whip wound on Bai Fei's hand was revealed. It must have been caused by the tail of the whip, and some flesh and blood were exposed on the wound, which looked a bit scary.

Emperor Jiazheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Concubine Rougui has been in the palace for some time and can be considered an elder in the palace.

In the eyes of Emperor Jiazheng, although Concubine Rougui seemed to be indifferent to everyone, she was actually a very sensible person.

Otherwise, the Seventh Prince would not have let Concubine Rougui raise him.

Why did Concubine Rougui suddenly start fighting with Concubine Bai?

This is clearly not right.

While Emperor Jiazheng was still pondering, Concubine Bai had already complained to him in tears: "Your Majesty, I am from Xidi. Is Concubine Rougui disliking my motherland and is targeting me like this? If my motherland is my original sin, then Your Majesty might as well lock me up in the cold palace. This time I got the upper hand, but next time I might get the upper hand!"

Emperor Jiazheng's face darkened, with a hint of anger: "Is Concubine Rougui not here yet? Why is she so slow?"

Empress Nie glanced at Concubine Bai, and then spoke to Emperor Jiazheng: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rougui is still raising the Seventh Prince. If she comes, she must first settle the Seventh Prince."

Concubine Bai saw that the originally angry Emperor Jiazheng's face faded a little after hearing Empress Nie's few words. He looked much calmer and added, "The Empress is right."

Bai Fei couldn't help but frown secretly.

Fortunately, Concubine Rougui did not arrive too late. She was dressed in plain clothes, with her hair tied up loosely in a bun with a wooden hairpin. She looked calm and composed as she walked into the Zhaoyang Palace.

Although Concubine Rougui has been in the palace for many years, she is not yet 30 years old this year and is in her prime.

She has always loved dressing up, and she always dresses gorgeously and charmingly.

The sudden blandness of the dish stunned Emperor Jiazheng.

As soon as Concubine Rougui arrived, she knelt down and bowed to Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie: "I am guilty."

The remaining anger of Emperor Jiazheng was completely dissipated by Concubine Rougui's action.

Before Emperor Jiazheng could say anything, Empress Nie frowned and said, "Well, the floor is very cold, and it's summer and we are wearing thin clothes. Concubine Rougui kneels on the floor. Don't let her get away from the cold air and then pass it to the Seventh Prince. How can that be allowed?... Someone, give her a seat."

Concubine Bai was stunned and looked at Emperor Jiazheng.

Emperor Jiazheng nodded, obviously agreeing with what Empress Nie said.

Bai Fei felt even more choked up.

The palace maid beside her was very tactful and helped Concubine Rou Guifei up and put her on the chair.

Bai Fei was not convinced and immediately started crying through the wound: "It hurts, it hurts so much."

Empress Nie glanced at the wound on Concubine Bai's hand and said, "Doctor, be gentle when bandaging it."

The imperial physician accepted the order and agreed.

Concubine Bai looked at Emperor Jiazheng in disbelief as he said nothing.
