The maid of Concubine Xian immediately spoke quickly and reported everything that happened in Chunxi Palace.

Even Fei Wan's random words, "Next time I'll let you serve His Majesty," were said truthfully.

Yu Tingjin's face looked quite ugly.

Anger burned in my heart.

But she still had to control her tone: "How is this possible? Did I hear it wrong? I see..."

The virtuous concubine chuckled.

He interrupted, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's the servants in the Imperial Concubine's palace who are jealous of each other. After all, my sister is young and lively, and she has just been appointed Imperial Concubine, so she hasn't learned how to control her servants yet."

He continued, "It's not a big deal. Just give this maid Feiwan a good wash. Later, you can give her something to calm her down. And then give Yuncui a beating."

Lan Zhaoyi interjected, "Then... the Empress's carpet?"

The virtuous concubine adjusted her hairpin and smiled softly, "I'll have to ask the imperial concubine to spend money to repair and clean the blanket. The Empress is always generous and won't bother with the blanket or the imperial concubine."

With just a few words, he made the decision for Yu Tingjin.

Yu Tingjin had been led by the other party for a long time, so how could he accept the treatment from Concubine Xian at this time?

The secret hatred for Concubine Xian seemed to be making a small matter out of a big one, but in fact it confirmed the fact that she failed to discipline her subordinates.

It not only discredited her, but also affected her dignity as a noble concubine.

It may also affect her ability to have a surrogate mother.

Yu Tingjin took a step forward and was about to speak.

But then Concubine Qing, who was sitting below the Queen, suddenly spoke in a gentle voice:

"Let's not talk about anything else. This maidservant is bleeding profusely. Let's first examine her wound."

Everyone was surprised.

Following the sound, I looked and wondered why Concubine Qing, who was usually quiet and never participated in any arguments, interrupted me.

But she was dressed in her everyday misty purple embroidered brocade dress, looking serene and easy-going, holding a string of eighteen-bead Buddhist beads in her hand, with a look of tenderness and concern on her face.

Everyone then understood that Concubine Qing, who was a devout Buddhist, could not bear it.

Concubine Qing directly asked her maid to find Doctor Wen who treated her every day.

The Queen said, "Doctor Wen is old and experienced. He only treats the Queen Mother and high-ranking concubines. Treating a maid is beyond the rules. Just go find a lower-ranking medical officer."

Imperial Concubine Qing never argued with anyone, but now she said, "I feel pity for this maidservant, and it brings back memories. I empathize with her. I'll grant her my next opportunity to check her pulse. It won't be considered excessive."

She covered her handkerchief with her handkerchief and coughed lightly, saying in a hollow voice, "Anyway, my health has been like this for years, so it's no big deal if I don't see the doctor once or twice."

She is an old acquaintance of the Qiandi Residence.

He was severely tortured by the emperor's first wife.

Therefore, he was deeply cared for and loved by the emperor.

Before Yu Tingjin was promoted to imperial concubine, she was the only imperial concubine in the palace and held an exclusive position.

She brought up old stories, which the queen, the second wife, could not refute.

Otherwise, she would become a cruel person like the emperor's original wife, whom he hated so much, and treat the people below her like grass.

So Fei Wan got the opportunity to be treated on the spot by the deputy chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

His sleeves were lifted up, revealing both arms covered in blood.

It's much more terrifying than the redness and swelling on the face.

When she was ordered to stand up, she staggered again. A check on the spot revealed two new bruises on her knees.

"That's too much!" Concubine Jian feigned anger. "We're both palace maids, how could Yun Cui punish her colleagues by making them kneel?"

How could Yu Tingjin admit that he was the one who punished Fei Wan to kneel?

The virtuous concubine summed up Yun Cui's sins in due time:

Beating colleagues, breaking the rules and being forced to kneel, disobeying the master's orders, and boldly coveting the emperor...

This is not something that can be solved by just a beating.

"If it were the time of Emperor Zhenzong or the late Emperor, such a servant would have been beaten to death in court."

Concubine Qing twisted her Buddhist beads and sighed softly.

Lan Zhaoyi interjected, "Your Majesty and the Empress are both kind, but the Empress also values ​​rules. Regarding today's matter, the concubines will obey the Empress's orders."

Xian Fei said: "Although the title of Noble Consort to my sister was granted by the Emperor's grace, and the Empress also spoke highly of me, I never thought that my sister would live up to the Empress's kindness and teach Chu Yuncui, such a vicious and heartless maidservant, alas!"

Several people were talking at once, all of them were very eloquent, and they didn't give Yu Tingjin any chance to interrupt.

By the time Yu Tingjin finally had the time to defend herself, the Queen had been forced to severely punish Yun Cui.

In particular, Concubine Qing brought up Emperor Zhenzong and the previous emperor, which was extremely important.

"Yun Cui, a maidservant of Chunxi Palace, has acted recklessly and disrespectfully. She is punished by being forced to squat for three days and then be enslaved in the Xinzheku as a warning to others!"

The Queen did feel sorry for the carpet.

It was one of the few good things the emperor gave her.

"Miss!"

Yu Tingjin's face flushed red, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

But when he saw the queen's solemn and stern face, he swallowed his words of plea.

Led by Concubine Qing, all the concubines in the palace stood up and squatted, praising the Empress for her strict management of the palace and her role model for the country.

The queen nodded slightly, gave a few words of instruction with a smile, and ordered everyone to stand up.

Yu Tingjin gritted his teeth and endured it, then followed suit and saluted.

When their eyes met, they both understood that the virtuous concubine and her gang had the upper hand today.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, and all the Masters and Ladies!"

Fei Wan took the ointment and patch given by Doctor Wen and knelt down to express her gratitude.

She was fully aware of the various undercurrents in the hall.

Yun Cui's outcome was as she expected, but Concubine Qing's joining surprised her.

If it weren't for Concubine Qing, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly today.

It went so smoothly that it seemed like a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

Take a quick glance at the concubines.

Take in everyone's expression.

Fei Wan understood that these people would either be her assistants or stumbling blocks on her way to success.

Whether he is an enemy or a friend, we will just have to wait and see in the future!

After the show, Fei Wan followed Yu Tingjin's sedan chair back to Chunxi Palace.

Yun Cui was being dragged out by the eunuch from the Palace Administration Office who was in charge of punishing the palace maids.

She cried out in injustice and struggled hard.

Suddenly I saw Fei Wan behind the team.

"Bitch! How dare you gossip in front of the Queen! I will never reconcile with you!"

She suddenly broke free from his control and pounced on him.

He pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it hard into Fei Wan's face.

"I'll make you serve me in bed! I'll make sure you never get to serve me!"

She wants to ruin Fei Wan's appearance.

If she gets pregnant, Fei Wan will no longer be qualified to sleep with the mistress and will be abandoned by her master.

By then, given the Majesty's hatred for Fei Wan, this bitch will definitely die before her!

"Bastard!"

Yu Tingjin slapped Yun Cui hard on the face.

This idiot had caused her so much trouble today because of his recklessness, and now he even dared to commit violence in front of Gong Zhengsi.

The eunuch in charge of the Palace Administration Department came from the Empress Dowager's palace. She had worked so hard to win the Empress Dowager's favor. This idiot would only cause more trouble!

"Protect the empress!"

The maid Pan'er stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Tingjin to protect her master, even though the hairpin was not aimed at Yu Tingjin at all.

So, Yun Cui didn't even get close to Fei Wan before she was pinned to the ground by the palace servants under Pan'er's command.

His face was pressed hard to the ground.

When she struggled to raise her face, the skin on her cheeks was already covered with bloody marks from being rubbed by the rough stone bricks.

Instead of ruining Fei Wan's face, she got herself injured.

"Ah, Sister Pan'er's hand!"

A palace maid exclaimed.

Everyone looked and saw that Pan'er was scratched while trying to block the hairpin.

The wound was more than two inches long from the back of the hand to the wrist. It was not deep, but the skin was broken and bleeding, which looked scary.

The eunuch from the Palace Administration Office stepped forward to take over Yun Cui.

Kick it first, and it will snap.

After the crisp sound that frightened everyone, Yun Cui was stunned for a moment, and then let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The hand holding the hairpin was stepped on and broken!
