Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

Zhou Bin, the supervisor of the imperial tea house, was a man in his forties. He was always neatly dressed, with a straight back and gentle eyes. If it weren't for his beardless face, he would have looked like a scholar.

"Eunuch Zhou..."

Qingli and the others hurried forward to pay their respects to Eunuch Zhou and thank him for protecting them.

Eunuch Zhou has always had a good temper and is popular in the palace. They have never seen him speak so harshly.

"That Li Fulu is a mean-spirited man. You all should be careful in the future." Eunuch Zhou looked at the few people and said lightly. He glanced at Hua Wu behind the three people without leaving a trace, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Yes."

Four people responded.

Hua Wu thought that Li Fulu would not give up, so she asked Hong Yaer to keep an eye on Li Fulu, intending to counter his moves. However, she did not expect that Li Fulu's revenge would come so quickly, and not directed at her, but at Qingli.

That day, Hua Wuyuan thought that she had been away from the palace for so long, and she didn't know what had happened to the people in Yikun Palace. She was not there, and neither were Jinzhan, Yuping, and Xiaolinzi. She didn't know if anyone in the palace bullied them, so she thought of taking a detour to the vicinity of Yikun Palace to see what had happened to the people there.

When she came back, she saw Ginkgo crying and running around in the imperial tea room. When she saw Hua Wu coming back, she rushed over and said with red eyes, "Sister Danruo, this is bad. Something happened."

Seeing Ginkgo crying like that, Hua Wu subconsciously felt that something was wrong and quickly said, "Stop crying! What happened?!"

"Sister Danruo, it's Sister Qingli..." Yinxing cried so hard that she couldn't speak clearly, "Sister Qingli was beaten with a stick."

what? !

Hua Wu's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What happened?! Why was he beaten with a stick when he was fine?!"

Qingli is a very careful and steady person, how could she make a mistake and be beaten? !

"The people in front said that the water temperature of the tea brewed by Sister Qingli was too high and the tea fragrance was lost. The emperor tasted it and spat it out. He was very angry, so he ordered people to beat Sister Qingli with a stick..." Ginkgo said with her eyes swollen from crying.

The water temperature is too high, and the tea aroma is lost? !

This is impossible!

Qingli is an old hand in the Imperial Tea House. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Qingli had a fever and became confused, she would not have any problems making tea, let alone such a simple problem as the water temperature being too high? !

No one in the Imperial Tea House knows better than Qingli what kind of tea, what kind of water to use, and what temperature to use.

"This is impossible!" Hua Wu said firmly, "Someone must be plotting to harm Qingli..."

Ginkgo and Hua Wu looked at each other, and a name came to their minds.

"Li Fulu!"

Hua Wu gritted her teeth and squeezed out these three words.

"Correct!"

"It must be him!"

Ginkgo wiped away her tears and said bitterly, "He must be jealous that Sister Qingli contradicted him a few days ago, so he deliberately framed Sister Qingli."

Hua Wu also agreed with Ginkgo's idea, but now was not the time to talk about it.

"How is Qingli now? Was he severely beaten?!"

Hua Wu asked anxiously.

"I...I don't know either..."

"Sis Jilan has gone to take care of her while you're away. I have to stay in the imperial tea room for you."

Ginkgo said in a panic.

She was very worried about Sister Qingli.

Ever since she entered the Imperial Tea House, she has been taken care of by Sister Qingli.

Sister Qingli never bullied the new maids like the other senior maids. Instead, she took good care of them. They all liked Qingli very much.

"Forget it! I'll go see her!"

"You continue to stay in the Imperial Tea House, be careful and be alert..."

Hua Wu was also anxious, she knew Qingli must have been implicated by her. After giving Ginkgo a few instructions, she hurried to where they lived.

When they returned to where they lived, they heard a low cry from the house. Hua Wu's heart suddenly rose. She hurried into the house and saw that in addition to Ji Lan, there were also several palace maids who were on good terms with Qing Li. Everyone had tear marks on their face, and their eyes were full of sadness and despair.

Qingli lay quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his back wrapped in thick gauze. Blood had dyed the gauze dark red, and it seeped out from time to time, which was shocking.

Seeing this scene, Hua Wu suddenly became extremely angry.

Li Fulu actually used such a heavy hand?! He wanted Qingli to die!

Hua Wu tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. Now was not the time to settle accounts with Li Fulu. Qingli's condition was very bad. If things went wrong, someone might die.

After rescuing Qingli, she will deal with Li Fulu.

"Qingli, how are you?"

Hua Wu took a deep breath, walked quickly to the bedside, and called softly.

Qingli seemed to have heard her voice and opened his eyes reluctantly, "Danruo...you...you have to be careful..."

Although Qingli did not finish saying what Hua Wu should be careful of, Hua Wu knew that Qingli wanted her to be careful of Li Fulu.

She didn't want to know how Qingli was framed now. She just wanted to know how badly she was injured.

"Sister Qingli is seriously injured."

"We collected money and invited someone from the Imperial Hospital to come and see her, but that person said...said Sister Qingli...was dying..."

A little palace maid who had the best relationship with Qingli said while crying.

That Li Fulu is so cruel!

He actually hinted to the guards to kill Qingli. If it weren't for the secret help of Ginkgo's good friend Zhao Dahu, Qingli would have been beaten to death on the spot and would not have had a chance to be carried back.

If young palace maids like them got injured or sick, they could only endure it on their own, as no doctors would come to treat them.

They collected all their money and begged a doctor from the Imperial Hospital to come and see her, but he didn't even prescribe any medicine. He just said that Sister Qingli was beyond saving and that her injuries were too severe...

Hua Wu's face was covered with frost. She sat beside the bed, held Qing Li's hand, and said through gritted teeth, "Qing Li, don't be afraid!"

"I will definitely find someone to cure you!"

"I will never let go of anyone who hurts you!"

"Your suffering will never be in vain."

Hearing Hua Wu say this, everyone who was originally in despair could not help but look at Hua Wu with shining eyes, full of excitement and confusion, "Dan Ruo, are you telling the truth?!"

"Do you really have a way to find someone to cure Qingli?!"

But this excitement only lasted for a moment, and everyone's eyes dimmed and they said in frustration:

"But...but we have no money..."

“It’s free!”

Hua Wu raised her eyebrows and spoke in a firm tone.

No money! ?

How can this be? !

The imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau only treated the masters and nobles. They never treated the servants like them. There were occasional exceptions, but they had to pay a lot of money to get them.

Without money...how could they afford to treat Qingli? !

Everyone looked at Hua Wu in confusion.

Now it seems that if we want to save Qingli's life, I'm afraid that only that person can do it.

How could money possibly be enough to invite that person? !

"Jilan, go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Hua Wu said quickly.
