Chapter 49: Being beaten
The queen was filled with shame and indignation. She felt a nameless anger in her heart when she thought about how embarrassed she was because of her false bowel movement. She rested in the palace for two days, drinking some porridge, and her body gradually recovered.
But she still couldn't figure out who was behind this, causing her to suffer such a great humiliation. After much thought, the queen locked the suspect on Luo Lingyue, but she had no solid evidence and could not take direct action.
While the queen was thinking hard, a brilliant idea suddenly came to her mind. She decided to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so she called Li Jingshu. The queen said earnestly: "Jingshu! I heard that your best friend Zhong Lengqiu has returned to Shangjing. It seems that the queen mother still remembers the old relationship with Xue Wen's family. You two should visit each other more often and don't be strangers." Li Jingshu was so smart that she immediately understood the queen's implication. She was secretly happy in her heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
The queen paused and continued, "As for the Zuiyue Tower, I have also heard of it. It was originally the property of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, but was sold to Luo Lingliu at a very low price by Zhong Lengqiu's good-for-nothing brother. Such a wasteful act is truly heartbreaking." At this point, the queen's tone revealed a hint of regret and anger.
Li Jingshu naturally understood the Queen's hidden meaning. She knew that the Queen wanted her to use Zhong Lengqiu to deal with Luo Lingyue and Luo Lingliu. Li Jingshu thought to herself that this was indeed a rare opportunity. She had a close relationship with Zhong Lengqiu, and there was such a entanglement between Zhong Lengqiu's brother and Luo Lingliu. If she could make good use of it, she would be able to deal a heavy blow to Luo Lingyue and others.
Thinking of this, Li Jingshu's eyes flashed with a sly light, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. She respectfully replied to the queen: "Aunt, Jingshu knows what to do."
The Queen's tone was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness. She slowly said, "I heard that the Queen Mother particularly likes the son of Xue Wen and Zhong Lengqiu. The Queen Mother is old, and she dotes on this nephew even more. She treats him like a treasure and will never allow him to make any mistakes."
Luo Lingyue would go to Zuiyue Tower every ten days, rain or shine, to hold a meeting for the Bai sisters and the maids and servants who worked there.
On this day, Luo Lingyue, as usual, took Linglong and Liuli and got on the general's carriage before dawn, driving slowly towards Zuiyue Tower.
When the carriage reached the Fenghuang intersection, suddenly, a galloping carriage rushed towards the general's carriage like a wild horse! This sudden situation caught the experienced horseman off guard, and the two carriages collided in an instant!
At this critical moment, Luo Lingyue was quick to grab Linglong and Liuli, who were about to be thrown out by inertia. Their hearts were filled with fear, and before they could calm down, a sharp and piercing voice came from outside: "Where did these lowly people come from! How dare they crash into the carriage of Prince Yang's Mansion!"
The general's groom was a veteran who had experienced many battles. Facing the other party's shouting, he was not afraid at all and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Madam, it was obviously your carriage that lost control and hit us!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of the power of justice.
The onlookers witnessed everything that had just happened. Someone in the crowd shouted, "It was obviously your carriage that hit the general's carriage!"
Seeing this, the people nearby quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "You are trying to kill yourself! The Kaiyang Palace is the Empress Dowager's family! The Xue family! You can't afford to offend them!" The person who spoke was immediately frightened, and hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to say another word.
The beautiful young woman standing on the Xue family's carriage was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She shouted angrily: "You bunch of lowly people! How dare you insult the Queen Mother! Come on, beat them to death in the street!"
Upon hearing this, the Xue family's groom immediately swung his whip and whipped the common people hard.
At this critical moment, a white and tender little hand suddenly grabbed the whip: "Which ear did you hear them insulting the Queen Mother?" Luo Lingyue pulled hard, and the coachman was caught off guard and immediately fell off the carriage.
The beautiful woman's eyes widened in anger as she shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be so bold as to beat up the groom who opened Prince Kaiyang's mansion!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Jingshu hurriedly walked out of the carriage holding a child. She looked flustered and her voice was filled with anxiety: "Leng Qiu! Qi'er is hurt!"
When Zhong Lengqiu heard this, her heart was in a mess and she was panicked. Her wonderful child! Her beloved baby!
When Li Jingshu saw Luo Lingyue, she was surprised and shouted, "Lord Luo, it turned out to be your carriage!"
She turned to Zhong Lengqiu and said, "Lengqiu, forget it. We are all acquaintances. Besides, Princess Luo is in the emperor's favor! Let's take Qi'er to see a doctor ourselves!"
When Zhong Lengqiu heard that the other party was Luo Lingyue, she could not suppress her anger. Earlier in the carriage, Li Jingshu had already told her about Zuiyue Tower.
When she thought about the fact that the property of her mother's family, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, was sold at such a low price, she couldn't help but wonder if her brother was being schemed by Luo Lingliu! This anger burned in her heart, making her want to trample the people in the general's mansion under her feet and beat them up!
Zhong Lengqiu was furious, with a hint of contempt and anger in her voice, she roared: "A mere county lord, we in the Kaiyang Palace have never been afraid of her!" Her face turned red with anger, and her eyes flashed with rage.
The common people who were watching saw this and realized the tense atmosphere, and they all dispersed in panic. They knew the power of the Kaiyang Palace and did not want to be involved.
The Kaiyang Palace was the natal family of Empress Dowager Xue, and was once the head of the four great families, which was once glorious. However, Emperor Wen was worried about the monopoly of power by his relatives, so he weakened the power of the Xue family, and the Xue family members were sent out to serve as officials in various prefectures.
Luo Lingyue saw Li Jingshu and immediately understood the reason. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and she said to Zhong Lengqiu: "Can you use your brain when doing things? Don't let others take advantage of you so easily!" Her tone was reproachful, hoping that Zhong Lengqiu would wake up.
Zhong Lengqiu gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Spare the driver's life today! I will no longer care about you injuring my son!" Her voice was full of determination and hatred, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.
Luo Lingyue glanced at her coldly. This Zhong Lengqiu was really a wooden-head. She said calmly, "What if I don't?"
Zhong Lengqiu's eyes were burning with murderous intent, and her voice was cold and resolute: "Then leave your life behind!" At this moment, Zhong Lengqiu was so angry that she had completely lost her mind.
Xiao Jinghan and the virtuous king Chu Shiyou, who were sitting in Tianxiang Tower, saw everything that had just happened.
The virtuous king curled his lips slightly and sighed: "Alas! I saw that your health has improved a little recently, and I wanted to accompany you out to relax, but unexpectedly I ran into such a scam! It's really unlucky!" There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
Xiao Jinghan's face was calm, and his cold voice rang out: "If you keep making trouble like this! Luo Lingyue might be punished by the Queen Mother! The position of County Lord was obtained with great difficulty, well! It's such a pity!" A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
The virtuous king was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Jinghan suddenly cough a few times, then stood up and walked downstairs. The virtuous king was stunned. Could it be that this cold-hearted Xiao Shizi was going to watch the fun?
