The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy
Chapter 18: The Destitute Lady vs. the Emperor
The little fox didn't care about the remarks that slandered her ugliness. After all, she wasn't ugly, so she wasn't bothered by such remarks.
She simply replied, "Yes, I am indeed ugly, and I recently had a rash on my face. I don't want to frighten you, my Lord, so I wear a veil."
In fact, she did this on purpose.
As soon as Concubine Yang stepped into the imperial study, a young eunuch found her and said that she might be in danger and wanted to take her away.
She was woken up in confusion and followed the eunuch out. When she reached a door, Concubine Yang had already rushed in.
She saw Qiangwei being dragged in, looking half-dead, and instantly couldn't move.
The imperial study was not big, and this door was not far from where Lady Yang was, so she could hear the conversation over there clearly.
After all, this matter was caused by her, and she didn't want to drag Qiangwei down, so she asked the eunuch for a scarf to cover her face.
The sisters said that most women would not feel jealous of women who were uglier than themselves. If Lady Yang was jealous, she would never show her face in front of the other person.
Su Mei remembered that this Lady Yang was not outstanding in appearance, so it was better to stay away from her. She couldn't let her see her face unless she was around.
Thinking of this, Su Mei couldn't help but look at the jade pendant. Lady Yang had just said that this jade pendant was a gift for the one she loved, and it was a meaningful item.
Su Mei knew that mortals valued these things with special meanings. She now regretted giving the jade pendant to Qiangwei casually. Not only did it cause such trouble, but if the emperor knew that she had given the jade pendant to someone casually, it would be very bad.
Now, Su Mei wanted to go forward and take the jade pendant back, but the current situation did not support her doing so.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yang snorted in disdain. This palace maid seemed quite obedient, but as soon as she thought about her saying that the jade pendant was a gift from the emperor, Concubine Yang became furious.
"You said this jade pendant was a gift from the Emperor, but from what I've seen, it's clear you stole it. How dare you, a lowly servant, steal in the palace? Someone, arrest her for me."
Su Mei looked at Concubine Yang in surprise. She remembered Qiangwei saying that Concubine Yang liked to shout that everyone was equal and was extremely tolerant towards everyone in the palace.
But the Concubine Yang she met twice was not like this. She seemed to be the same as other women in the palace. She had a condescending attitude, and Su Mei could not see any kindness at all.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch in the imperial study who had been hiding nearby and pretending to be a quail finally panicked. He immediately kowtowed to Concubine Yang and said, "Your Majesty, please spare her and do not arrest her."
"Tsk..."
Concubine Yang turned to look at the young eunuch. She looked at him curiously before saying, "Just now, I was also about to punish this maid named Qiangwei, but why didn't you plead for mercy? Besides, didn't you say that there was no such person as Su Mei in the palace? So what's going on now? Are you deliberately deceiving me? Or are you actually in cahoots with this maid to steal the palace's property?"
Having said this, Lady Yang's face darkened noticeably, and there was a strong murderous look in her eyes as she looked at the young eunuch.
"My Lady, I dare not."
The young eunuch immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, then said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Su Mei is not a member of the palace, you cannot punish her arbitrarily."
"I am worried that the beauty will get into trouble."
The young eunuch looked very confident. As he spoke, his heart almost jumped into his throat. He looked at Concubine Yang nervously.
At this point, he couldn't say that it was because of the emperor's special attention that Concubine Yang couldn't touch Su Mei.
If that's the case, I'm afraid Su Mei will die even faster.
This Concubine Yang has always been domineering in the palace.
Unless the emperor is here at this moment, Su Mei can be saved.
But the emperor is currently in Concubine Rou's palace and probably won't be able to come over for a while, so he found such a lame excuse.
Upon hearing this, Lady Yang sneered. She suddenly kicked the young eunuch over and asked, "Do you think I'm a fool? You actually made up such nonsense to deceive me."
"My lady..."
Although the young eunuch was kicked in pain, he still endured the pain and climbed up, crawling to Yang Meiren's feet on his knees, "I dare not, I dare not."
Now he just wanted to delay time as much as possible, hoping that the emperor would come back soon, maybe they could still be saved.
"Go away!"
Concubine Yang kicked the little eunuch away again. She didn't want to pay attention to the little eunuch now. She wanted to deal with that ignorant maid.
After kicking the eunuch away, she came to Su Mei, pulled off her veil, and said viciously,
"Stop playing tricks on me. I want to see what you are really like. How dare you dream that the emperor would take a fancy to you? You even dare to spread rumors that the emperor gave you the jade pendant."
At this time, Concubine Yang had completely regarded her own guess as the truth. She stubbornly believed that it was Su Mei who stole the emperor's jade pendant and refused to admit it.
Call ~
The moment the veil was torn off, everyone present gasped.
All I could see was the face beneath the veil. I didn't know when it had developed a lot of red rashes, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance.
Even the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study were shocked. Su Mei before could be said to be a fairy who had descended to earth, but now she was so miserable that it was unbearable to look at.
"She is indeed an ugly thing. I thought she was ugly, but I didn't expect her to be this ugly."
A young palace maid couldn't help but speak, while another one came to Lady Yang's side and helped her back. "My beauty, be careful, stay away from her. Don't let her get infected with any dirty diseases. Judging from her appearance, she might have contracted some venereal disease. I think she's not a decent woman."
These words completely slandered Su Mei. Not only did they spread rumors that she was sick, but they also secretly said that she was dirty.
Upon hearing this, Lady Yang immediately took a few steps back.
Although she is a modern person and knows that these diseases are not so easily contracted, she still can't help but feel disgusted, fearing that she might be infected.
I don't know when it started, but she became more and more like the people here, not only in her thoughts but also in her behavior.
Lady Yang did not realize that she was being slowly swallowed and assimilated by this place.
After retreating to a safe distance, Concubine Yang turned her attention back to Su Mei and ordered the young eunuch beside her.
"Detain her for me. I think she's very suspicious. Take her to the Ministry of Punishment now. They have plenty of tools there, so she might not refuse to confess."
After he finished speaking, two young eunuchs stepped forward and restrained Su Mei.
Seeing this, the young eunuch in charge of the Imperial Study wanted to step forward to stop them, "Your Majesty, you can't..."
Concubine Yang lost her patience and warned him coldly, "If you say another word, you will go to the Ministry of Punishment to accompany her."
