Chapter 109: Beaten to Death



Oh wow!

[It’s bad, it’s bad, my dear concubine, someone is trying to harm you again! ]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, why are there so many evil women in this harem, stirring up discord and pretending to be so? Tyrant, is this the legacy of your romantic affairs?]

The emperor looked at Su Qiqi speechlessly.

What romantic debt? He didn't know Rong Cainu at all! It was just that the Queen Mother liked her very much, so she kept her by her side to serve her!

Su Qiqi didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so she could only complain to herself:

[Alas, Pei Yi is only focused on his career. He and the Imperial Concubine are just ordinary friends! Why are there always people spreading rumors and stirring up trouble?]

"Tyrant, don't be stupid! Pei Yi at least protected the Imperial Concubine from harm. Getting jealous at this moment will only make you look petty!"

The Queen Mother listened to Su Qiqi's heartfelt words and nodded in agreement. She looked at the Emperor and said, "My son, this Guard Pei is sincere and honest. He deserves a reward."

"My Queen Mother is right. Pei Yi will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. After your injury heals, you can come to serve me."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Pei Yi was very surprised.

He thought the emperor would believe Rong Cainu's sarcastic words. He had even begun to organize his words in his mind, thinking about how to refute and explain...

"Your Majesty..."

The smile on Rong Cainv's face faded.

She glanced at Shen Mingyue and gritted her teeth, "How can a guard throw himself on the imperial concubine in broad daylight? I heard that the imperial concubine and Guard Pei have a close relationship. Where does this put you?"

The Queen Mother glanced coldly at Rong Cainu: "According to you, everyone should just watch the Imperial Concubine and Hongxuan get smashed?"

Hearing the tone, Rong Cainv knew that the Queen Mother was angry.

She knelt down quickly and cried, "That's not what I meant! The maids around the Imperial Concubine are so smart and clever, they will definitely protect her. Guard Pei's actions were too intimate and he looked too anxious. He was too rude to the Imperial Concubine..."

"Do you think everyone is as vicious as you? You're actually hoping something bad happens to the imperial concubine! Come, take her away and give her fifty lashes!"

The emperor shouted angrily.

The guard outside the door ran in.

Rong Cainu was stunned and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I was foolish and said the wrong thing. I will never dare to do it again! Please forgive me this time!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, pretending not to hear or see anything.

Rong Cainu crawled over, grabbed the hem of the empress dowager's skirt and cried, "I'm afraid that the monks today cannot bear to see blood. I am willing to reflect on my mistakes in seclusion and copy a hundred volumes of scriptures to pray for your blessing! Empress Dowager..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?!"

The Queen Mother raised her foot and kicked Rong Cainv away.

She knew that Rong Cainv must have ulterior motives when she suddenly approached her.

She thought Rong Cainu was going to poison her, or was seeking something from her, or was sent by someone to seduce the emperor...

She waited quietly, wanting to catch the person behind Rong Cainv.

I didn't expect that this stupid woman just wanted to harm Shen Mingyue and win her favor.

How ridiculous!

The guards stood aside, not knowing what to do.

The Queen Mother angrily shouted, "Drag him away and beat him to death!"

Su Qiqi clapped happily:

Alas!

[To harm others will only harm yourself! You deserve it! Long live the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is wise!]

Rong Cainu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, crying heartbreakingly: "Queen Dowager! I am loyal to you! I, the monk, cannot shed blood here, please forgive me..."

Her voice grew weaker.

The guards covered her mouth and dragged her away.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Since I've been in this position, I've never had any taboos!"

Doctor Qin finally arrived.

"Your humble servant..."

"Go and take the imperial concubine's pulse."

Just as he was about to salute, the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

So, Doctor Qin stepped forward and took Shen Mingyue's pulse.

After a moment, he said, "Your Highness is fine, but she has been tired recently and should rest more."

Shen Mingyue nodded and said, "Please ask the imperial physician to take another look at Hongxuan and Yunchi."

Doctor Qin took the pulse of Lu Hongxuan and Mo Yunchi again.

"The Third Prince was just frightened, nothing serious. Young Master Mo is fine, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Hearing this, Shen Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at Pei Yi in the hall, feeling a little hesitant.

The emperor said, "Guard Pei was injured. Doctor Qin, take him down and have him examined."

Shen Mingyue was slightly stunned.

This is what she wanted to say too.

But she was a concubine, and if she showed concern for Pei Yi, she would probably be criticized. Besides, it was not appropriate to let Doctor Qin treat Pei Yi's injuries.

So she just hesitated.

But the emperor said what she wanted to say.

Shen Mingyue looked up and saw the emperor smiling slightly and winking at her.

It seems to be saying "Don't worry", and it also seems to be saying "Look, I understand you so well."

"Master Xumi, having your prayers interrupted shouldn't affect your luck and feng shui for the coming year, right?"

Since the emperor asked this, Master Xumi naturally knew how to answer.

After all, this wasn't his first time coming to the palace to pray. He was well aware of the emperor's hidden meaning.

Master Xumi clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "It's OK. You can continue."

"Then continue."

At the emperor's command, the monks rearranged the tables and continued chanting and praying.

After more than an hour, the prayer was finally completed.

The emperor handed Su Qiqi to Qiuhe and prepared to personally escort the empress dowager back to the palace.

The Queen Mother said, "Go check on Mingyue and Hongxuan. They must have been frightened today. Also, Guard Pei is a loyal servant. You can't let him down."
