The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 49

"Where did this beast come from! How dare it offend the noble in the palace!" Qin Huaijin exclaimed as he stood nearby, but in the blink of an eye, the black cat had disappeared.

Qin Liuse got up from Wei Lanxin's body, but saw that Wei Lanxin below was already crying. Qin Liuse felt that something was wrong.

As expected, Wei Lanxin said with tears in her eyes, "Jieyu Qin, how did I get in your way? I was walking properly, but you pushed me down and made me your meat cushion."

Qin Liuse had a headache and hurried to help Wei Lanxin. "Miss Wei, a rogue cat just jumped at me. I'm really afraid of black cats, so I lost my composure for a moment. Are you okay? Get up quickly."

Qin Liuse was still half squatting to calm down, while Wei Lanxin was still on the ground, as if she had suffered a lot and couldn't get up. Qin Huaijin went over to help Wei Lanxin who was still on the ground, "Miss Wei, are you hurt? Can you get up?"

Then, she called to the maid next to her, "Go and see if there is a sedan chair to take your master back."

Since they were just walking around in the garden when they had nothing to do, Qin Liuse and Qin Huaijin only brought one maid with them. Wei Lanxin brought more, three or four, so now they had a situation where they had more people than others.

Wei Lanxin's face turned pale, she looked innocent and confused, and she looked at Qin Liuse and said, "Why did Concubine Qin say that? No one could see clearly whether it was a cat or some other beast. I saw that beast pounced on Concubine Qin, so why did Concubine Qin react even more violently than Concubine Qin?"

This means that Qin Liuse bumped into her on purpose.

The maid behind Wei Lanxin said arrogantly, "Who knows if it is a black cat? We were so anxious just now that no one could see it clearly. Concubine Qin is very favored, and our girl has also caught the emperor's eye recently. Maybe someone is jealous."

The woman spoke with conviction. Before Qin Liuse could reply, Qin Huaijin angrily scolded her, "Where did you come from, you slut? Do you think you can gossip about Concubine Qin? Don't you see who you are? Do you need to teach Concubine Qin a lesson?"

Qin Huaijin seemed to be helping Qin Liuse, but in fact, he was causing trouble for her and offending people.

Qin Huaijin said, turning around and saying to Chuntao behind him, "Go and see if there are any people from the Shangyi Bureau nearby, drag this bitch over and teach her a lesson, and see what else she can say to offend my sister!"

The maid knew that she had offended the noble and was in the wrong, so she became speechless for a moment, but the looks in those people's eyes clearly showed that they were blaming Qin Liuse.

After Qin Huaijin "helped" Qin Liuse teach the man a lesson, he gently said to Wei Lanxin, "That beast deserved to die, but the beast was cunning and disappeared in the blink of an eye. I was really scared just now, and Qin Jieyu was also scared, so she bumped into Miss Wei like this. Don't blame my sister, she didn't mean it."

What he meant was that even though Qin Liuse didn't mean it, Qin Huaijin led her as if she did it on purpose.

Could it be that Qin Liuse didn't understand that no matter whether this was a trap set by them or not, no matter whether the cat did it intentionally or not, the fact had happened and Qin Huaijin would not miss this opportunity and would find ways to guide it towards her.

Qin Liuse clapped his hands and stood up. "Okay, stop talking about this. Go and see how bad Miss Wei's injury is. Can she walk or get up? If there is anything wrong, I will not refuse."

Qin Liuse spoke calmly and frankly, but Wei Lanxin heard it as contempt and arrogance.

"What are you talking about, Concubine Qin? It was you who pushed me down, and you asked me to lie under you. Why do you seem to be acting like it has nothing to do with you? My fall was totally in vain."

"I know you are favored by the emperor, but you don't have to be so bossy, right? It's as if you are just knocking down a plant. I am such a grown-up!"

Qin Liuse didn't know that because Qin Liuse had seen what happened yesterday, Wei Lanxin had decided to vent her anger.

Emperor Yongjia did not help her. After all, she could not touch Emperor Yongjia and did not dare to blame him. She blamed Zhu Wanxi in her heart but did not dare to say it out loud. Only Qin Liuse could help her vent her resentment.

Qin Liuse was completely speechless. She thought that if such a person really entered the harem, then with the support of the Empress Dowager Dong and her own resemblance to the empress to win the favor of Emperor Yongjia, there would be no peace for her.

Qin Liuse knew that she was bound to take the blame, and said with a smile, "This palace has its own rules. Even if my sister wants to settle the score later, this is not the time. Hurry up and find the imperial physician to see you. Otherwise, if you get sick and walk with a limp, how can you be a delicate flower in the future? In the harem, I have never seen a concubine with missing arms and legs!"

These words were hurtful, but they were not vulgar, and Wei Lan was so angry that her face turned red.

Qin Huaijin didn't expect Qin Liuse to say this. When he thought of Wei Lanxin limping beside Emperor Yongjia, he wanted to laugh.

Wei Lanxin looked at Qin Huaijin's attempt to hold back his laughter and hated Qin Liuse even more.

As they were speaking, the reinforcements that the maid had gone to fetch arrived. They carried a sedan chair over, carefully helped Wei Lanxin onto it, and hurried to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace.

Seeing that everyone had left, the farce came to an end for a while. Qin Liuse sighed and decided not to go to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace to cause trouble.

Back at Shuyuexuan, Qin Liuse called Xiao Fuzi, "Go and ask around to see if there are any nobles in the palace who keep cats, and who keeps black cats. First, look at the palaces near the Four Seasons Garden."

Although Qin Huaijin and Wei Lanxin were vague and unsure whether it was a black cat, Qin Liuse would not doubt herself. Only when she faced something she was truly afraid of would she be so scared that she could not control herself.

Moreover, Qin Liuse thought that this matter was probably related to Qin Huaijin.

As soon as I entered the garden today, I happened to meet her. Qin Huaijin was so affectionate to her, which was contrary to his usual behavior. It was really not right.

More importantly, although she would go to the Four Seasons Garden every day, her time was irregular. The only person who could keep an eye on her movements was Qin Huaijin, who lived in the same palace with her.

Qin Liuse looked at Qin Huaijin's house on the other side of the window and thought to herself, she is worthy of being the queen in her previous life. She knows how to sow discord and harm people better than anyone else. Even though there are many flaws, you just have no evidence to say that she did it.

Her level is really not low.

In the room, Qingqing Zijin was still packing her luggage. Qin Liuse looked at the clothes and hairpins, thinking that they might not be used.

Judging from Wei Lanxin's attitude, and the anger that Qin Huaijin had repeatedly provoked, she would definitely not let this matter go easily. She would definitely take the opportunity to ask Emperor Yongjia for an explanation.

As he was thinking this, before dinner, the Yongjia Emperor's men indeed came with an imperial decree.

It was Zhu Wanxi who came. Shu Yuexuan and his group followed Qin Liuse and knelt down nervously to receive the order.

"The Emperor has ordered that the concubines in the harem should be virtuous and kind, and be kind to each other, and set an example for the world. Now, Concubine Qin has caused trouble in the harem, causing the minister Wei... Considering that their merits and demerits are offset, but they have not been punished to serve as a warning to others, Concubine Qin will be confined for one month, and the maid will be fined for three months... This is the order of the emperor."

Qingqing and Zijin did not follow Qin Liuse and Mingyue to Four Seasons Garden today. When the emperor's decree came, they thought it was a reward. Now when they heard it, they were panicked, "Jieyu, how... could this happen?"

Since they are under house arrest for a month, they don’t have to go to Famen Temple tomorrow. So the bags they have packed all day are useless, right?

Mingyue and Qin Liuse looked at each other, but both remained calm.

Zhu Wanxi came over and gave Qin Liuse a helping hand, still smiling and saying, "Qin Jieyu, the emperor wants you to be well taken care of in the palace."

Qin Liuse understood, nodded and thanked Zhu Wanxi, knowing that Zhu Wanxi was giving her advice.

This punishment sounds scary, but it is not severe. It is just house arrest for a month, and it will be over after the New Year. Qin Liuse herself does not take it seriously. Emperor Yongjia needs to explain to the Empress Dowager Dong and Wei Lanxin. This treatment did not make her suffer, so she did not care.
