No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Wu Yunzhu watched the farce come to an end. At least Li's life was saved, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She grew up in the palace, and some rules were ingrained in her bones.

Not to mention putting drugs in it, even if it is ordinary food, as long as he doesn’t see it with his own eyes or it is brought by a close confidant, he will not eat it nor will he pass it through his hands to others.

Of course, at family banquets or state banquets, we will eat a little, but not too much.

Li asked her to administer the medicine, but the medicine was given by someone else, so of course she would not agree.

But she was afraid that she would refuse, so she thought of other ways and pretended to agree.

Wu Yunzhu knew very well that even if she went down, Lin Mingyan and the Fourth Master were not fools and would not eat it like that.

Only then did she confess directly. She also found out who was behind it and put on a show to bring the person behind it out in one fell swoop.

The real mastermind behind the incident has been caught, and Gao Ziliang has also led people to capture the master.

Lin Mingyan glanced at the kneeling servant and was not surprised to see a familiar face.

The child didn't need to know what happened next. She called Geng to come and take Wu Yunzhu back.

Geng's face turned pale. She had been busy managing the state banquet tableware recently and had not paid much attention to Wu Yunzhu.

After all, she thought that her daughter was already in trouble, so she had to fight for some benefits for herself.

The Queen Mother still has many important things to do, so she can also revoke some of the rights of the harem.

Only then did he become fully focused and wanted to do this job well.

She didn't expect that Wu Yunzhu would do something big for her. Fortunately, she didn't lose her mind for her mother. This was a little consolation.

"Your Majesty..." Geng's voice was a little trembling, and she was in a state of panic.

Lin Mingyan comforted him, "Wu Yunzhu has grown up and did a great job this time."

"But after all, Li was dealt with. Take her back and give her some peace of mind."

In fact, she could see that Wu Yunzhu wanted to protect Li completely.

But when the Fourth Master started to fight, no one could say no.

Twenty lashes may not sound like a lot, but that's because we've been misled by later novels, where people often hear a hundred lashes, and only then do we think twenty is too little.

A weak woman, after being beaten with twenty boards, would have to lie in bed for half a year to recover.

Fifty lashes can kill a person, and a hundred lashes would be enough for even Zhang Fei to withstand.

Wu Yunzhu's face turned pale, but she knew that Li deserved it and could not say anything more.

Lin Mingyan sighed and said, "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager will instruct the servants to take care of it."

With her promise, Wu Yunzhu relaxed a little and left with Geng.

As soon as they left Kunning Palace, Geng couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell Mother?"

"You're carrying this huge matter all by yourself?"

"You really don't consider me your mother anymore?!!"

No matter what, this is the child she has raised for so many years, and she raised him little by little from the time he was small and soft in her arms.

It's true that she felt heartbroken, and it's also true that she wanted to hold on to something else, but she couldn't completely give up on this child.

Ever since Wu Yunzhu knew what Li was going to do, her relationship with Geng had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and she felt a little guilty about Geng, so she never dared to get close to Geng again.

This was the first time she had to handle such a big thing.

He went to the Queen to confess tremblingly, and pretended to be at ease around Li. He never slept well for a single day.

Hearing what Geng said, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into her arms, crying, "Mother, mother, I'm so scared!"

"I'm afraid my mother won't want me anymore, and I'm also afraid that the Li family will implicate us..."

Wu Yunzhu had never gotten along with Li, so naturally she had no feelings for her. All she had was a little bit of pity out of blood ties.

Through this incident, she also understood that Geng was the only person in the world who treated her best.

All the extreme kindness he showed her in the past has now become love.

Geng turned a disaster into a blessing, and her relationship with her daughter improved. The two of them supported each other and returned to the palace.

In Kunning Palace, the person who was tied up and forced to kneel on the ground was almost trembling.

The Fourth Master looked gloomily at the people kneeling there. One of the women looked very familiar - it was Qingming, whom he had met in the Imperial Garden before.

She looks somewhat similar to Lin Mingyan, and with her makeup and dressing, she looks even more like Lin Mingyan.

"Mrs. Li, have you seen clearly?" Lin Mingyan said to Mrs. Li, who was kneeling beside her, "The opportunity you are fighting for, risking your daughter's future and life, is it really yours?"

Only then did Li realize that she had been wrong from the very beginning, extremely wrong!

This palace maid's plan is to step on her to get to the top!

"Then...then medicine?" She was not a fool and quickly remembered the two packets of medicine.

Lin Mingyan was too lazy to pay attention to her, so Rendong explained: "Then there is one that is for His Majesty, so naturally, the palace maid is asked to climb into the bed."

"The other kind of request is life-threatening, and the only one who can take the blame is you, who is in the room!"

Li was almost frightened to death!

If the other party's evil plan succeeds, not only will she not be able to save her life, but her entire clan will most likely be implicated!

She was not tied up and was already kneeling on the ground exhausted. The fear at this moment made her burst out with amazing strength.

She rushed forward and started punching and kicking Qingming: "You black-hearted bastard! How dare you lie to me!"

"I'll beat you to death..."

She cursed and beat me, almost like a madman.

Su Peisheng slowly signaled the young eunuch to stop the fight, and by the time it was over, Qingming's face had been scratched by her.

The Fourth Master nodded in satisfaction, thinking that now it didn't look alike at all and it wouldn't be offensive anymore.

"No one has arrived yet?" The Fourth Master glanced at Su Peisheng and his scalp tightened.

He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'll bring it to you right away."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Outside the door curtain, he could vaguely see a few figures swaying.

When the door curtain was lifted again, what came into view was Concubine Tong Gui in auspicious clothes.

When the previous emperor was alive, she was Concubine Tong. She had no children in her life. Before she was promoted to a noble concubine, Emperor Kangxi passed away.

After the Fourth Master came to power, the positions of other people remained unchanged. Because she was the sister of Empress Xiaoyi Ren, she was the only one who was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine.

It can be said that Concubine Tong Gui was a unique figure in the Western Six Palaces. If Concubine De had not been promoted based on her own ability, she would still be inferior to her.

Who would have thought that such an insignificant woman would stir up trouble in the harem and want to kill Lin Mingyan with one move.

The Fourth Master snorted coldly, "How on earth have I wronged your Tong family?"

"Among all the civil and military officials in this court, who else can compare to the Tonggiya clan's splendor?"
