Chapter 146 Concubine Yu is wronged
So many people have lost their lives here, who dares to cry out for justice? And on what basis can they cry out for justice?
Whether voluntarily or not, once you arrive on this battlefield, there will always be a fight.
Only victory or defeat matters, nothing else matters.
It sounds cruel, but the truth is that it is cruel.
As for her, she was even more unlucky. She was entangled in the palace fighting system and had to complete a task.
Otherwise, she would not have offended Concubine Yu so directly.
But since she has offended everyone, there is nothing to say. Xu Lanshan can only complain to the system at most, but she didn't really sigh or complain.
She had offended someone, and because of her inferior status, she couldn't stop Concubine Yu from picking on her. But if Concubine Yu wanted her to accept the beating obediently, she couldn't do it either.
Concubine Yu was even more furious, her blood boiling, and she simply took action herself: "How dare you!"
Xu Lanshan immediately let go of Bai Rong and turned to block Concubine Yu's hand: "Empress Yu!"
"Xu Lanshan, you dare to fight back! Come here, Concubine Chen is committing treason. Capture her and take her to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation!"
"I'm feeling unwell, and my servants have only asked His Majesty to come to me. It's no big deal. Is it necessary for Concubine Yu to be so angry?"
"you!"
"I dare not compete with Concubine Yu for the Emperor. That night was just a misunderstanding. Isn't Concubine Yu's revenge a bit excessive?"
"You—nonsense! Who said I was taking revenge? It's clearly you who committed treason. It's only right that I punish you. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you arrest the man for me?"
It seems that all the concubines in the harem behave in the same way when they go crazy. Concubine Lian is like this, and Concubine Yu is not much better.
Having the power of status is like having the greatest support. The palace rules and principles are at your fingertips. You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want. Even if those of lower status are wronged, they can only bear it.
But Xu Lanshan just didn't want to suffer it.
Of course, she couldn't go against Concubine Yu, as that would be even more unreasonable and would give Concubine Yu even more reason to deal with her.
Maybe Concubine Yu was actually hoping that she would take action.
Xu Lanshan: "I am innocent, so let's settle the matter in front of the Emperor!"
As Xu Lanshan said this, she ran towards Ganyuan Palace.
Concubine Yu shouted, "Stop her for me!"
However, Xu Lanshan's physical strength had been enhanced by system optimization, so she was no match for these pampered palace maids. She easily left them behind and soon arrived at Ganyuan Palace.
Seeing Xu Lanshan entering Ganyuan Palace from afar, Concubine Yu stamped her feet in anger and followed her with big strides.
Panting.
The senior palace maids live a life of luxury on a daily basis, let alone her?
By the time Concubine Yu entered the Qianyuan Palace, Xu Lanshan was already crying to Emperor Yuan Yong, who was patting her and whispering something. His expression was gentle, his tone soft, and it was clear he was comforting her rather than scolding her.
Concubine Yu was furious!
"Your Majesty, please help me! Concubine Chen is going too far!"
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at Concubine Yu. "Really? How did Concubine Chen bully you? I had no idea Concubine Chen was so domineering! Bai Rong, you speak, but think carefully before you speak. If you say even a single wrong word or something that doesn't align with reality, I'll kill you!"
Concubine Yu's face turned pale: "Your Majesty!"
"Go ahead."
Bai Rong knelt hurriedly, looking at Concubine Yu with trepidation, and had to bite the bullet: "Yes, this servant, this servant dare not lie to the emperor. This servant's master met Chen Zhaoyi on the way to pay her respects to the empress. Chen Zhaoyi stood up without waiting for the master to call her to do so. This is against the palace rules. The master then told this servant to slap her in the face. Chen Zhaoyi blocked my hand, and the master got angry and took action herself, asking Chen Zhaoyi to block it again. She also pushed the master. The master then said that Chen Zhaoyi was not following the palace rules and wanted to send her to the Ministry of Punishment for a lesson. Then Chen Zhaoyi came to Ganyuan Palace..."
Concubine Yu was furious: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is arrogant and does not follow the palace rules. Your Majesty must not favor her, otherwise there will be no rules in this palace!"
"Alright, Concubine Yu, I know what you're angry about. But I remember, didn't you send someone to call me when you were feeling unwell before? I didn't see anyone bothering you."
"emperor......"
"Chen Zhaoyi was feeling unwell the night before yesterday, so I was the one who decided to go over. Concubine Yu needn't blame her. But since we met today and Chen Zhaoyi has already performed the formalities, how can that be considered a violation of palace rules? She should tone down her habit of slapping people at every turn!"
This was what Emperor Yuan Yong hated the most. Slapping someone in the face? What was wrong with slapping someone in the face all the time? He had given them the position, but he hadn't given them the right to bully others.
Besides, he was reluctant to even touch Lan'er, so where did they get the courage to do that?
Fortunately, Lan'er was not so tolerant. She knew to seek him out when she was wronged. Otherwise, she would have been bullied to no end...
After hearing these words, Concubine Yu's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her handkerchief to wipe them away.
She seemed to understand Lianpin a little.
The Emperor is too partial...
But he was the emperor, so she naturally would not blame the emperor. All her hatred was directed at Xu Lanshan.
"Your Majesty, you are too partial! Concubine Chen doesn't distinguish between superiors and inferiors. She relies on her favor and has no regard for me. Isn't it natural for me to teach her a lesson? Your Majesty, you protect her like this. What rules are there in this palace? Is it true that no one in the palace is allowed to make Concubine Chen unhappy and everyone has to coax her? Is this Concubine Chen's harem?"
"Enough!" Emperor Yuan Yong frowned. "You are a concubine, and Concubine Chen is a concubine. Just don't cause trouble for her. How dare she bully you? She can't bully you. Concubine Yu, I don't want so many messes in this palace all day long. I don't have the time to deal with these things. You all should just be quiet!"
"Your Majesty, are you blaming me? What did I do wrong? I'm just asking for justice!"
Emperor Yuan Yong grew increasingly impatient and angry at her aggrieved tone. "I don't blame you, but you're blaming me! What justice are you seeking? We both know what's going on, so there's no need to explain. But I won't allow this to happen. Do you understand?"
Concubine Yu could no longer hold back her tears, choking with tears and saying, "Since Your Majesty has said so, I, your concubine, have nothing more to say! I obey your order! I was wrong about what happened today! I will take my leave!"
After saying this, without caring about Emperor Yuan Yong's reaction, he glared at Xu Lanshan with resentment and left angrily.
Xu Lanshan's eyes darkened slightly, and she thought to herself that she was in trouble. This palace fighting system was really screwing her over...
It seems that Concubine Yu has a worse temper than Concubine Lian, but she is much smarter and more flexible than Concubine Lian.
She had yielded to the Emperor and the Front Committee, but Xu Lanshan didn't believe she had truly let her go. Who knew what she might do behind her back.
It's impossible for the emperor to be by my side every day...
