Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

"Why hasn't the emperor come yet? Lamei, did you deliver those things to the emperor?" Concubine Ling's face was gloomy, and she stared at Lamei coldly with a hint of impatience and anger in her tone.

She pointed at the empty room and angrily demanded, "Not only did the Emperor not come, but the Imperial Household Department also didn't send anything. Don't they know what I need?"

Lamei bit her fingers nervously, closed her eyes, and answered quickly and vaguely, "It's been delivered...it's in the main hall."

Concubine Ling looked at her suspiciously, frowning, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you put it out? Look at this room, it's so empty, how can it be seen?"

"...Your Majesty, please go and see for yourself!"

Lamei and Dongxue looked at each other, followed Concubine Ling carefully, and walked towards the main hall together.

When they reached the entrance of the main hall, they slowed down their pace and Concubine Ling walked quickly into the house.

Soon, the angry roar of Concubine Ling was heard from inside the house. "What is this? An iron basin? An iron can? An iron bowl? Iron chopsticks? Are these for me to use?" Concubine Ling's voice was filled with shock and dissatisfaction.

Then she found some strange objects and continued to roar: "And this is a shoe? Iron shoes? This is a wire dress? Who is this for?" Her voice became louder and louder, and her emotions became more and more excited.

Finally, she saw some wood carvings and became extremely angry. She shouted loudly: "What are these wooden statues? Pigs, dogs, mice, chickens, snakes? Spider spirits? Fox spirits? Are they cursing me?" Concubine Ling's anger burned more and more fiercely, and her roars echoed throughout the palace.

"Ah-ah-Dongxue, Lamei, get in here!"

The two of them stepped over the threshold cautiously, and when they saw something coming towards them, they dodged to the side in tacit understanding.

There was a loud clang, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shaking the entire room. The two of them couldn't help but gasp, their hearts pounding. If such a heavy iron object were to hit them, it would probably smash a huge hole in their bodies.

"Is this what the Imperial Household Department sent?" Concubine Ling widened her eyes, her face full of astonishment.

The two nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of grievance.

Lamei couldn't wait to explain, "The people from the Imperial Household Department said there's a rule that if you break something for no reason, you can't ask for anything back from the Imperial Household Department for free unless you're willing to pay fifty times the price. Your Majesty, you know, our palace needs so many things, and that little money isn't enough. And, seeing how much we wanted, they kindly sent us a few sets of iron bowls and chopsticks."

Hearing this, Concubine Ling's face grew even darker, her lips trembling slightly, as if she could no longer bear such a blow. Her eyes gradually lost their luster, and her body began to sway. Finally, she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Concubine Ling's body suddenly hit the table. Several iron objects that were originally placed on the edge of the table fell down instantly and hit Concubine Ling's body fiercely under the horrified gaze of Dongxue and Lamei.

"Ah - it hurts so much -" Following a sharp and piercing scream, Concubine Ling's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, her body curled up in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans kept appearing on her forehead, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked like she was in great pain.

Dongxue and Lamei rushed over immediately and quickly removed the various iron objects that were pressing on Concubine Ling. Then they carefully helped her up and returned her to the bed in the bedroom. When they saw the blood flowing from Concubine Ling's body, they were both terrified.

"Dongxue, go and call the imperial physician! I don't know how serious the Empress's injuries are, and we need a female doctor to come and take a look." Lamei ordered with forced calmness.

After Dongxue left in a hurry, Lamei dared to gently uncover Concubine Ling's clothes and said softly, "Your Majesty, please be patient, I will try to be careful." Concubine Ling was in so much pain that she could not speak and could only nod slightly to show her agreement.

La Mei carefully cut open all the bleeding parts. Although she felt uncomfortable, she tried her best to remain calm. "Your Majesty, I will go call the Emperor."

Concubine Ling's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, but soon the severe pain made her face distorted again.

She couldn't help it, so she turned and ran out of the room, vomiting violently. When she felt a little better, she got up and went to Kunning Palace.

------------

"What a rare guest! I wonder why Miss Lamei has suddenly come to our Kunning Palace?" Rong Mama glared at the lowly servant who had never looked her in the eye before. In the past, relying on Concubine Ling's favor, she was so arrogant and arrogant when speaking to others. She was nowhere near as humble and cautious as she was today.

La Mei was stunned by Rong Mama's appearance. How could she have become younger? Everything was normal at the dinner a few days ago. Although she had only followed Concubine Ling and hid in a corner, far away from the top, she was definitely not mistaken.

Could it be that Princess Ziwei was really a fairy who had descended to earth? Lamei pondered in her heart. If so, wouldn't she have offended the immortal? The thought of this made Lamei feel a wave of fear, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

And now, the Rong Mama who was once despised by her has become much younger, as if time has gone back, which shows the close relationship between Princess Ziwei and the Queen.

If she continued to help Concubine Ling and oppose Kunning Palace, would she really get a good result? I'm afraid not... Thinking of this, La Mei knelt in front of Rong Mama in fear, kowtowed hard, and kept muttering: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

At this moment, La Mei had completely lost her former arrogance, and was only filled with fear and regret. She knew that her actions could bring serious consequences to herself, so she begged for mercy desperately, hoping to get Rong Mama's forgiveness.

"Miss Lamei, what are you doing? If others see it, they will think that I am bullying you!" Rong Mama dodged and frowned. The people in the Yanx Palace are really as unruly as ever.

La Mei raised her head and said sincerely, "Madame Rong, all the things we did before were asked to do by Empress Ling. If we didn't obey, she would beat us. Look--" She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her scarred arms.

Madam Rong's eyes narrowed. She didn't expect that the gentle and considerate woman could be so cruel and ruthless.
