"enough!"

The queen couldn't bear it any longer, so she slammed the table and roared.

"Noble Concubine Zhou, as the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, you not only fail to set an example, but also take the lead in causing trouble. Do you really think that I dare not punish you?"

Concubine Zhou had served under the Queen for many years and knew her temper very well. When nothing happened, even if you were being too aggressive, she would happily play along with you. But once her bottom line was touched, she would turn her back on you. So when she saw her get angry, Concubine Zhou shut up obediently.

Yun Zhining stopped crying pretendingly.

The queen's ears were finally at peace.

"Although you didn't do what happened yesterday, you are ultimately responsible. The emperor is merciful and won't bother with you, but as the master of the six palaces, I must treat everyone equally and be impartial. So when you go back today, copy the Peace Sutra twice and send it to Hibiscus Pavilion, praying for God's blessing so that Ming Xiaoyi can give birth to the baby safely."

Concubine Zhou screamed.

"Empress, you might as well kill me if you ask me to copy Buddhist scriptures."

"Four times."

"Queen!"

"Eight times."

Seeing that her pleading was useless and the people kept asking for mercy, Concubine Zhou finally compromised.

"Okay, two times is two times, can't I write it?"

"Pfft!"

A light laugh came from her ears. Concubine Zhou looked up quickly and met Concubine Qi's mocking eyes, which made her even angrier.

"Empress Qi, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for being deaf. The Queen has just told you to copy it eight times, but you didn't take her words to heart at all!"

"you,……"

"What do you mean, am I wrong?"

Concubine Zhou: ...

"you are vicious!"

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, comforted Yun Zhining with a few words, gave her a few gifts, and then told them to leave.

On the way back, Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"If Concubine Zhou had this kind of personality, an ordinary person would definitely suffer a great loss. You, my lady, are the same. You knew that she was such a person, but you rashly pointed out that there was something wrong with the Buddhist beads. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't have had such a big grudge with her, and you wouldn't have almost killed the baby in your belly because of her little trick."

"I know what you said, but I did this not for her, but because I don't want the eldest prince to lose his mother's protection at such a young age. I hope he grows up safely and healthily, so that the burden on the emperor's shoulders can be lighter."

Qingzhu suddenly realized.

"It turns out that everything you did was for the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor didn't know your good intentions and even confined you. You really don't deserve it."

"Be careful!"

Yun Zhining glared at her and said seriously.

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven. Even if he did something wrong, it is not for us to question. Don't say such things again. If someone with ulterior motives reports this to the emperor, I won't be able to protect you even if I have three heads and six arms."

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, young master."

"Okay, you're also thinking about me, how can I bear to blame you?"

As she was talking, she yawned.

"Since I had this child, I've been very sleepy. Let's go back quickly. I want to sleep."

"Yes, my lord."

Several people quickened their pace and rushed towards Furong Pavilion. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Imperial Garden, they saw Concubine Zhou teaching a servant a lesson.

Yun Zhining had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but when she took a quick glance, she found that the two servants looked familiar, and her steps stopped instantly.

"Qingzhu, do you think those two servants look familiar?"

"My young master is indeed a man of sharp eyes. That's right, those two servants are the ones who left our Hibiscus Pavilion before. I didn't expect that they are so capable that they can even get in front of Concubine Zhou."

I don’t know what they did wrong to be scolded by Concubine Zhou in such a crowded place?

However, this did not prevent them from watching the show.

Who told them to abandon me when I was under house arrest? They deserved this fate.

"Are you opening your eyes to vent your anger? Didn't you see such a big rock in front of you? You actually walked straight towards it. Do you want to kill me by falling?"

"And you, are you trying to seduce the emperor by dressing so nicely? Look at what you look like. You are not as tall as Yun Zhining, not as thin as Yun Zhining, and not as pretty as Yun Zhining. Even if the emperor is blind, he will not fall in love with you."

Concubine Zhou became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She reached out and gave the maid a slap, but she didn't hit her face but her ear. The earring flew up and scratched her hand. Her hand was white and tender like tofu, and the skin was broken at the slightest touch, and blood flowed out. She became even more angry, and with a wave of her hand, she asked the nanny behind her to slap the maid.

The nanny's waist was as thick as a water tank, and her palms were as big as a palm-leaf fan. She looked like a ruthless character. If she was slapped, her face would be completely ruined. The palace maid naturally refused to surrender and looked for a life-saving straw everywhere. She happened to see Yun Zhining standing not far away, staring at her quietly.

She was delighted and immediately shouted.

"My Lord, save me!"

Concubine Zhou slowly turned around and looked at Yun Zhining with a very ugly expression.

"When did you come, what did you hear, and what did you see?"

"To answer your Majesty, I came here unintentionally. I heard nothing and saw nothing, so you don't have to worry that I will complain to the emperor."

"I won't believe your nonsense!"

Concubine Zhou glared at her and snorted coldly.

"These two people were originally from your palace. When you saw them being punished by me, you would definitely stand up for them. How could I not know what kind of person you are?"

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong."

Seeing that she was determined to argue with him, Yun Zhining gave up watching the show and spoke seriously.

"Your Highness has dealt with me several times now, and you should know my temper very well. Although I sometimes kindly remind others, I am still a person who cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. I will naturally treat those who are loyal to me well. But if someone betrays me and seeks help from others, and then gets bullied by others and turns around to ask me to help, I will naturally ignore her."

"Besides, I have just heard that these two people were not attentive when serving the Imperial Concubine. They really deserve to be punished. Even if it comes to the Emperor and the Empress, you are in the right, so please punish them. I will never interfere."
