The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

"Your Majesty, my hand has been healed. However, should those who deserve punishment be punished? Otherwise, the person who did the wrong thing can get away with it." Zhao Mengdie said softly to Baili Haoxuan. She would not let that slave girl go just because Yun Jingman gave her emergency treatment. She, Zhao Mengdie, has never been a person who repays evil with kindness. She is a little woman who will avenge herself when she has a grudge.

"Oh? Punishment? My beloved, please tell me who should be punished and why?" Baili Haoxuan said lazily, leaning against the couch.

"It's that cheap...that maid. She actually poured the scalding hot tea on me, causing me to get burned. And there's the Queen, the Queen is guilty of protecting the maid." Zhao Mengdie knelt beside Baili Haoxuan, pinching her throat and speaking pitifully.

"Queen, is this true?" Baili Haoxuan turned to look at Yun Jingman and asked.

"Your Majesty, it was my fault for failing to discipline her. All the blame is on me and has nothing to do with Ning'er." Yun Jingman knew that Zhao Mengdie would not let Ning'er go. It was nothing for a concubine to kill a maid. She was the queen, so Zhao Mengdie would not be able to do anything to her. Therefore, she accepted the punishment.

"Empress, you can't forgive everything by saying that you failed to discipline your child. Since you failed to discipline your child, let me do it for you. I will teach this maid a lesson on how to serve tea and water." Zhao Mengdie said viciously, the resentment in her eyes not diminishing at all.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's time to teach this maid a lesson and learn the rules?" Zhao Mengdie gently pulled the hem of Baili Haoxuan's dragon robe, twisted her body, and said in a delicate voice.

"It's time to learn this lesson." Baili Haoxuan gently raised his head, his blue eyes full of amusement, and a cold smile on his lips. The little trick in Zhao Mengdie's mind did not escape his eyes, he just became more and more bored, and actually wanted to play with these toys, and wanted to see how his chess pieces would deal with all this.

With Baili Haoxuan's approval, Zhao Mengdie became even more fearless. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of resentment. She looked at Yun Jingman and Ning'er and walked down the hall step by step.

"Someone, come and give me the finger-torsion."

"No." Yun Jingman stood up and shouted at Zhao Mengdie.

"Why not? Since this maid can't serve tea or water, then these hands are useless." Zhao Mengdie was not intimidated by Yun Jingman's aura at all. She had the support of the emperor and the queen. How could she be afraid?

"I don't agree, I don't agree. But just spilling the tea, is it necessary to use such vicious finger-torture?" Ning'er looked at Yun Jingman with tears in her eyes. Yun Jingman has always been a gentle and quiet person, not fighting with the world, and not showing his edge. In order to protect her, he actually clashed with Zhao Mengdie. How should Ning'er repay this kindness?

"The Emperor said that this servant should be taught a lesson. I have the Emperor's approval. Does the Empress intend to disobey the Emperor's order?"

Yun Jingman knelt down again, kowtowed deeply to Baili Haoxuan who was sitting high up watching the show, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please take back your order. I will bear all the sins."

"How will the Queen take responsibility? Is she going to take the punishment for that maid and have her fingers tortured?" Zhao Mengdie took over the question harshly. Baili Haoxuan also let Zhao Mengdie go and continued to hold up his head and watch his show.

"If the emperor must carry out the finger-pinching punishment, then I am willing to take it for Ning'er." Yun Jingman said without fear. Yun Jingman was actually unsure in her heart. She was betting that Baili Haoxuan would not bear it and would take into account the friendship with Cangming Kingdom, so she dared to do so, hoping to protect Ning'er.

Her hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves, betraying her apparent calmness.

A trace of admiration glided across Baili Haoxuan's icy blue eyes. He could not imagine that his chess piece would be so protective of him and take his own place. Was she betting that he would not dare to torture him with the finger-pinching punishment, or was she really so protective of him? Haha, interesting...

If it was the former, it meant that his chess piece was somewhat smart and could understand the situation. If it was the latter, it only meant that her chess piece was too naive. In the deep palace, if he could escape once, he would not be able to escape the next time, or the next time.

"Everyone else goes down, the Queen stays." Baili Haoxuan said seriously.

"emperor."

"Ok?"

"Your humble servant, I'll take my leave." The concubines and maids kneeling on the ground thanked the emperor and took their leave one after another.

Zhao Mengdie bit her lips and clenched her hands. She never expected that she was only one step away from revenge, but she never expected the emperor to dismiss everyone in the room at this moment.

Sang Yuhanyan, I, Zhao Mengdie, will never be done with you!!!
