The tyrant is changing the plot madly because of the fake princess's voice
Chapter 20 Why Would She Mind?
After the palace maid walked into the courtyard with Concubine Qing's latest oral instructions, Miao Xi's shrill and desperate cries soon rang out in the palace.
Although there was still such a long distance between them, her cries were extremely clear when they reached the house.
"My queen, spare my life, my queen!"
"It's all my fault for a slip of the tongue. Madam, please forgive me. I will definitely... "
The crying suddenly turned into a dull whimper, as if someone came forward and covered Miaoxi's mouth with his hands.
When the twenty strokes of the cane were finished, Miao Xi's cries of pain were no longer heard outside. After a while, the palace servant who had entered the hall to report earlier walked in quickly again.
"Your Majesty, the caning has ended, and the man has fainted. Should we..." Should we ask an imperial physician to come and take a look?
Although that person deserved the punishment, she was, after all, a maid in Concubine Rou's palace. If the relationship was really torn apart, there would probably be some trouble.
Zitang didn't finish her words, but Concubine Qing understood what she meant.
"It's fine as long as he's not dead," she said nonchalantly, "Carry the person and let's go to Concubine Rou's palace to take a look."
Zitang looked worried, but still arranged everything according to Concubine Qing's instructions.
Concubine Qing's eyes swept over Eunuch Changshun, who was standing behind the little guy with his eyes lowered.
This man has served Emperor Mingze for so many years that he has become a shrewd man.
Emperor Mingze must have received the news by now that someone had bullied his beloved little princess these past two days.
Both punishments today had their reasons, and since the incident had been brought before Emperor Mingze, Concubine Rou had no choice but to let it go.
Besides, Concubine Rou was in the wrong this time, so why would she make such a big fuss about it?
Concubine Qing thought clearly.
Two sedan chairs were carried out from Anqin Palace, and a group of people marched towards Concubine Rou's Liuhua Palace in a mighty procession.
At Concubine Qing's signal, Eunuch Changshun hid himself under the cover of the sedan chair and stayed outside Liuhua Palace, not going in with the crowd.
Concubine Rou wanted the outside world to think that this trip was indeed instructed by Concubine Qing, so she would deliberately avoid suspicion and would not send anyone out to investigate.
It just happened to facilitate their plan this time.
When several people walked into Liuhua Palace, Jiang Huaian was also there.
Concubine Rou specially ordered someone to bring a soft couch to him in the front hall and let him lie face down on the couch, waiting for her to vent his anger on him.
Jiang Huaian's heart was already filled with hatred. As soon as Jiang Xingran appeared, he could no longer pay attention to the surrounding scene. He just gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, "It's him! Mother, it's him who caused my son to be beaten with twenty boards by my father! Mother, please help me get revenge!!"
Jiang Xingran paused when he heard the voice, but soon returned to normal.
His eyes swept over Jiang Yingcheng vaguely.
Although this little girl had helped Jiang Huaian to tell on others several times before, what she did today was obviously in his favor.
Concubine Rou is much more thoughtful than Jiang Huaian.
Before everyone could stand still and salute, she put down the teacup in her hand, walked forward affectionately, took Concubine Qing's hand, and led her to the soft chair in the middle.
Concubine Qing frowned slightly, and just as she was about to say something, she heard the little guy's excited voice -
[Ahahahahahahahaha, the father-in-law finally couldn't resist the torture and gave up Fourth Brother.]
[Hahahahahahahaha, even though he only got 20 strokes of the cane, it's enough for Fourth Brother to lie in bed for many days hahaha. ]
The gloating in the little guy's heart was too obvious, and Concubine Qing couldn't help it. She relaxed her brows, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled.
Concubine Rou had been watching Concubine Qing's expression out of the corner of her eye. When she saw the other person smiling, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other party didn't notice her little actions.
Although she has a powerful family to rely on, Concubine Qing's family background should not be underestimated. Moreover, Concubine Qing has no children and poses no threat to her. She can make fewer enemies by saying a few good words, so why not do it?
The two sat down on the soft chairs.
Imperial Concubine Rou said softly, "Yushi, why did you come here with this group of people today?"
She called Concubine Qing by her maiden name affectionately, her demeanor and movements were graceful. It was not difficult to tell from the fact that she never even glanced at Lan Zhaorong and the others that she was not an easy person to get along with.
Concubine Qing also sneered in her heart.
In the past, the two of them addressed each other by their maiden names, and she had thought that this was a symbol of their good relationship. But now it seems that it was just her wishful thinking.
Cheng Yunmeng finally waited for the moment when Concubine Rou turned around, but she had already started chatting with Concubine Qing. She didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only stand there awkwardly, carefully waiting for the right opportunity.
Jiang Huaian wanted to howl, but Concubine Rou gave him a cold look and he immediately stopped talking.
A maid came forward and served hot tea to Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. Then she smiled and said, "Today, a maid went to Lan Zhaorong's courtyard to invite someone under my name. Lan Zhaorong brought the maid to visit me in my palace."
Concubine Rou's eyebrows jumped, and she knew that the matter had been exposed, but she quickly adjusted her expression.
"I did send someone to Lan Zhaorong's courtyard today to invite my sister to Liuhua Palace for a chat. If Yu Shi was referring to someone I sent, then I think it was because I always mentioned my sister's name that she blurted it out."
Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Sister, I can understand that. But she might have been so frightened that she forgot to tell the truth. When she wanted to tell it, the palace maids in Sister's palace had already..."
She did not elaborate on the rest of the words, but just waved to Zitang. Then someone carried the unconscious Miaoxi in and threw her to the side of the hall.
Concubine Rou's breathing stagnated, and she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Although Miao Xi was only a small maid in her palace, she represented the reputation of Liuhua Palace when she went out on missions. Now, she was beaten to death and thrown into the corner like a puddle of mud...
Concubine Rou felt as if her face had been slapped in the face, and it was burning.
But she was used to hiding her emotions: "This man can even confuse his own master, he deserves a lesson."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards the three people still standing in front of him: "How come I haven't seen you perform the salutes even after entering the palace for such a long time?"
The intention to vent his anger was too obvious. Lan Zhaorong shrank back and hurriedly took the two little ones to complete the etiquette.
Imperial Concubine Rou said "hmm" in a long tone, and fiddled with her slender white fingers nonchalantly: "It's okay for the two little princes, but Lan Zhaorong disregarded the etiquette of the palace and knowingly violated the rules. Slap her in the face."
This sudden change made Lan Zhaorong unable to react for a moment. She just stared blankly at the palace maid who slowly walked forward under the instructions of Concubine Rou.
Seeing this, Jiang Huaian, who had been quiet for a while, no longer cared about the pain caused by the beating. He raised his upper body from the couch and looked in the direction of Jiang Xingran with a slightly ferocious face.
"Hahahahahaha, Jiang Xingran, all the suffering your mother endured today was caused by you!"
Who told you not to directly admit the crime yesterday? If you had admitted it earlier, wouldn't this happen today?
Jiang Huaian's face was filled with hatred, and Concubine Rou looked at her good-for-nothing son and had to hide her impatience.
Emperor Mingze seldom lingered in the harem, and she only had this one son, so the hope of becoming the crown prince could only fall on him. Even if she disliked him, she had to endure it.
Concubine Rou turned her head and looked at Concubine Qing beside her, and she returned to her previous gentle appearance: "When Huai'an went out to play yesterday, he was punished by His Majesty because of a misunderstanding, but His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince who was present did not defend Huai'an at all."
"When a child at home is bullied outside, the mother wants to vent her anger on behalf of the child. Yu Shi can understand that, right?"
She seemed certain that Concubine Qing would stand on her side and cover up for her.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to even hide his desire for revenge, Concubine Qing raised the corners of her lips slightly and replied gently: "Sister, of course, won't mind."
How could she mind?
As long as you——
Able to withstand your majesty's anger.
