Chapter 57: Monkey Warning
In the Zhaoyang Palace.
Mu Qing watched as the imperial doctor asked Wu Guifei for her pulse one by one, and then stepped forward to talk back to her.
She glanced at Mu Zhi beside her and asked her to send the imperial doctor out, and then looked at Wu Guifei and said with a smile: "Guifei Niangniang, you also heard it, the imperial doctor said that you are not sick, and your health is too good to be better." ”
Wu Guifei straightened her sleeves, her face was angry, but she still hummed calmly: "Haven't you heard of Aunt Mu, some diseases are emergencies, they come and get better quickly, this palace was sick yesterday, but today it will be better." ”
Mu Qingdao: "Since the concubine Niangniang was still able to set up the stage to listen to the play yesterday, even if she thinks about it, it will not affect her body to attend the court meeting and the small banquet." The queen said to the slave maid that if the harem concubines were really sick, they would take a leave of absence from the mother, and the mother would not be inconsiderate when she looked at the sisters who were also serving the emperor. It's just that if this is pretending to be sick, the concubine Niangniang will start today, and the other palace concubines will follow suit tomorrow, and this harem Niangniang will not be able to take care of it. So today, it is inevitable to be wronged by the concubine. ”
Wu Guifei slapped the table and said angrily: "Then what do you want, dare to kill this palace?" This palace is a noble concubine of Zhengyipin, and there are two princes born under her knees, who gave you the courage to dare to bully this palace like this, have you asked the emperor? ”
Mu Qing said respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare!" Saying that, he looked at Wu Guifei with a light smile, her voice was still unfazed, and said: "Just like what the concubine Niangniang herself said, Niangniang, you are a concubine of the first grade, serving the emperor for more than ten years, and having a second prince under your knees, naturally it will not be wrong, even if there is a mistake, it must be the fault of the palace people around you who instigated or persuaded the poor performance, since it is the palace people who do not serve well and persuade the concubine Niangniang, it is useless to stay with the concubine Niangniang, so you can only send it back to the Yeting Palace to learn the rules again." As for the concubine Niangniang, the queen told her that she must not let the mother have the slightest damage, otherwise the emperor will have no way to explain when she asks. ”
As he spoke, his eyes sharpened, and he instructed the palace people around him: "Come on, tie up all the palace maids and eunuchs above the fourth grade of Zhaoyang Palace." ”
The palace maids of Zhaoyang Palace glanced at each other in a panic, and then set their eyes on Wu Guifei.
Wu Guifei was so angry that she got up from the chair, glared at her angrily, and said in a sharp voice: "You dare!" Then dragging the long skirt of the palace in a hurry, he came over angrily, and the "snap" on Mu Qing's face was a slap.
"Zhaoyang Palace of this palace, it's not your turn to bark here, you dare to move the people of this palace to try it, unless you step over the corpse of this palace."
If she lets the people in her palace be taken away by the people of Changkun Palace today, she won't have to go out in the harem tomorrow.
Mu Qing's face was hot and painful, Wu Guifei had long nails, and when her slap came down, she could even feel her face scratched by her.
But Mu Qing didn't care, turned his head again, and looked at Wu Guifei with the same resolute and intolerant gaze on the bright red slap print: "Guifei Niangniang, do you want the slave maid to invite the phoenix seal again?" ”
Wu Guifei scolded: "What a queen, is this an example of killing chickens and monkeys with me?" ”
Mu Qing bent his knee at her, and then instructed the palace people beside him: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't invite the noble concubine Niangniang to sit on the seat, and then escort the palace people of Zhaoyang Palace out." ”
Then a palace person came out of the queue, curtstooped at Wu Guifei and confessed his guilt, and then stretched out his hand to escort Wu Guifei to the seat.
Wu Guifei was so angry that she wanted to kill, and said angrily while struggling: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you are all the opposite!" As he spoke, he angrily said to the palace people around him: "Are you all dead, this palace is being bullied like this, you don't want to give it to this palace quickly." ”
Mu Qing took out the phoenix seal again, and said sharply to the palace people who were about to move: "The phoenix seal is here, if there is a resistant, don't worry about killing it with a cane!" ”
Then some palace people who were about to move forward retracted their legs, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Please forgive the queen." ”
The palace people above the fourth rank in Zhaoyang Palace were escorted out one by one, and Wu Guifei sat on the chair and kept scolding, saying "You wait for the palace" and saying: "The palace is going to kill you, the dog slave." ”
Mu Qing looked at the half-empty main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, and the rest of the palace people also knelt on the ground resignedly. Mu Qing turned his eyes to He Baolin, who had been standing silently with the fourth prince in his arms, so low-key that he wanted everyone not to notice her, and said with a very meaningful look in his eyes: "He Baolin, the slave and maid should also change the palace people around you." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the four princes in her hand again, and said, "If Baolin doesn't know the rules in the harem anymore, then next time the queen will have to invite someone to teach Baolin the rules again." Presumably, Baolin will be very busy at that time, and he will not have time to take care of the four princes, so the queen mother can only choose another palace concubine to take care of the four princes. ”
He Baolin was so frightened that his face was shocked, and he hurriedly hugged the four princes, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine must listen to the teachings of the queen mother, and she must learn the rules by heart." ”
Mu Qing nodded, gestured to the people around him, and bent his knees to Concubine Wu before leading the remaining palace people around him to turn around and leave.
After Wu Guifei was let go, she sat on the ground, almost unable to believe that this was true, that little hairy girl really dared to cut her.
She was a little distracted with anger, and muttered in a low voice: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" ”
The palace maids who served her personally had been kidnapped, and the remaining low-level palace maids did not dare to step forward.
He Baolin knelt on the ground, and also hugged the four princes tightly for a long time, before gently wiping the sweat on his forehead and face, and then gently handed the four princes to the palace maid, stood up and stepped forward, and then knelt down to help Wu Guifei and said, "Niangniang, you get up first!" ”
Wu Guifei waved her away and said angrily: "This palace is going to find the emperor, this palace is going to find the emperor." The palace didn't believe that the emperor would connive at her to bully the concubines in the harem. Whoever gave her the guts, the palace is going to ask the emperor, who gave her the guts......"
She got up from the ground and staggered out the door. The palace maid behind her stood up and hurriedly followed while calling "Niangniang".
Mu Qing handed over the tied palace maid to the Yeting Palace, and after explaining to the female officials of the Yeting Palace, he took Mu Zhi back to Changkun Palace together.
She raised the box containing the phoenix seal above her head with both hands, knelt down in front of Lin Yan, and said in a solemn tone: "Niangniang, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”
Lin Yan opened the lid and took a look at the intact phoenix seal inside, and glanced at Mu Lan and asked him to take the phoenix seal back to its original place.
Lin Yan said: "Thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he glanced at the injury on her face, and said, "Let the palace maid give you medicine first, and then the palace still has something to tell you." ”
