The four ladies glanced at her at the same time, and then lowered their heads in unison.

"This palace is pregnant, it is not suitable to sit for a long time, if you still can't ask the truth for a while, you have to hand over all of you to the palace punishment department; Mrs. Rong, come first. The light shone in from Xiao Xuan's window behind her, and her face looked more and more solemn in the backlight.

Mrs. Rong panicked, her eyes stared at the tips of her shoes, and she said uncertainly: "The concubine often hears Mrs. Li's palace maid cursing her, could it be that Dong Song did it?" ”

"Yes, yes, eighty percent of it is her." Mrs. Wen echoed.

Dou Lianyi's face sank suddenly, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few points: "I don't make up nonsense and don't go through it in my heart, is it a fool to be in this palace?" Whose personal palace maid would bully her master? ”

"Niangniang is angry, be careful of the prince in your belly." Su Yun on the side hurriedly reminded her to help her beat her back.

She steadied herself, "Since you both say so, then please ask this bold winter pine girl, Xiao Yingzi, to bring her in." ”

Winter Pine was outside, and was quickly brought in, kneeling behind a row of masters.

Dou Lianyi couldn't help but look at it twice, this girl has an awl face, triangular eyes, high cheekbones, thin waist and narrow shoulders, and sure enough, her face is not a good stubble.

It seems that I hit the rabbit with grass today.

"I heard that you often bully your own master, but is there such a thing?" Dou Lianyi asked coldly.

Before her words fell, Dong Song shouted that she was wronged: "The slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid have learned the rules as soon as they enter the palace, the master is the truth of heaven or understands, it is too late to respect Mrs. Li, how dare you bully the master, and please ask the mother to know it." ”

Hey.

Dou Lianyi laughed twice, didn't speak, and only looked at Rong Wen and the others.

"Dog slave, you dare to quibble in front of your mother, you just scold Mrs. Li every day, and now you will hurt the master, you are simply impatient." Mrs. Rong reprimanded sharply.

Mrs. Wen was naturally not willing to lag behind, and followed behind to confess her crimes: "You have repeatedly committed crimes, and Mrs. Li doesn't care about you, but now it is getting worse and worse, which is really hateful." ”

"Come on, give a piece of red." Dou Lianyi's voice was neither high nor heavy, but as soon as it came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

This zhang red is one of the five major punishments in the palace, to put it bluntly, it is to be beaten to death on the couch, because the prisoner's skin is full of flesh, and the body soaked in blood looks like the red sky from afar, so it gets this name.

"Niangniang spares her life, the slave is really wronged." Na Dongsong lay on the ground and trembled, begging for mercy in his mouth, and shouted: "Mrs. Qi helps." ”

Mrs. Qi, who had been kneeling on the ground since she entered the door, turned her head with some difficulty, and scolded: "Shut up, you have committed such evil deeds yourself, and if you don't confess your guilt as soon as possible, please ask Concubine Li to be generous and reduce the punishment." As he spoke, he desperately squeezed his eyes at Dong Song.

Although Dou Lianyi didn't see Mrs. Qi's small movements, he suddenly understood that this winter pine must be related to Mrs. Qi.

He smiled coldly in his heart, but his tone softened slightly: "Now the two ladies, no, the three ladies are all accusing you, could it be that the three masters have wronged you?" Anyway, this palace is unwilling to kill innocent people in vain, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, who caused Mrs. Li's injury? Think about it and then answer, this is only one chance. ”

"Yes......"

Dong Song quickly glanced at Mrs. Qi in front of him, and hesitated to speak.

"Dong Song, think clearly before answering, if you answer wrong, hum." Mrs. Qi shook her somewhat stiff body, turned her head again and stared at Dong Song fiercely, and issued a warning.

Dong Song lay on the ground, trembling like chaff.

"Looks like you're acquiescing, here." Dou Lianyi raised his voice, but when he heard it, Dong Song suddenly raised his head: "The slave and maid are willing to say who it is, can the mother keep the slave and maid safe?" ”

The hateful girl, she actually negotiated terms with her, really if she was muddy or papier-mâché?

"This palace can't guarantee anything, this palace only knows that if you can't convince this palace that you didn't do it, you have to die now." Dou Ripple's voice was like counting the ice edges of the nine cold heavens, cold and hard.

Dong Song was stunned for a moment, and finally it was important to save his life, and pointed at Mrs. Qi with his hand: "Mrs. Qi did it." ”

"Nonsense, you don't want to die." Mrs. Qi jumped up and kicked over, and Dong Song fell down in response, and quickly got up and knelt down.

"Bold." Dou Lianyi's patience has reached the limit, and while shouting, the jade finger pointed directly at Mrs. Qi: "Mrs. Qi, you first bullied your sisters first, and then you sprinkled in front of the palace in disregard of the rules. ”

"The concubine is not convinced, Concubine Li only punished the concubine with only one girl's confession, and she is not afraid of reaching the ears of the queen, do you blame you for being too hasty?"

There were already thugs from the Palace Punishment Division waiting outside, Xiao Yingzi beckoned and rushed in together, and Mrs. Qi saw it and moved the backstage out.

"Qi Shi spoke against and threatened the superior, and the crime was added to one and a fine of ten boards; Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Wen deceived their superiors and were fined for three months; Dong Song committed the following crimes, and punished the Huanyi Bureau on an errand. Dou Lianyi got up as he spoke, lazily stretched out his jade arm, and Su Yunzhi supported his master in the direction of the dormitory, "This palace has been sitting for a long time today, and my body is very tired, so I won't accompany him." ”

Behind her, Mrs. Qi was dragged down with a cry of applause, and the three ladies knelt down in unison.

"By the way, Mrs. Li, the Qing'er around this palace is smart and knows how to advance and retreat, so I will allocate it to you from now on." suddenly remembered that Mrs. Li was too weak, after this incident, I was afraid that I would become a thorn in the side of some people, and there was no more powerful palace maid around to help her, and it would be even more difficult in the future.

Mrs. Li didn't know her kindness, so she immediately knelt on her knees and thanked her gratefully: "Niangniang's great kindness, the concubine will always remember it in her heart, and pray for her mother in front of the Buddha that day." ”

The news of Mrs. Qi's punishment spread to Kunning Palace not long after.

"Concubine Li, this is giving Niangniang a dismount." Linglong was furious.

Yue Biluo sat in the shadows, her expression couldn't be seen clearly, and her voice sounded very calm: "Bengong is afraid that she will hide it, the more fierce she jumps, the happier Bengong is." ”

"Niangniang is smart, and she wants to fight with Niangniang with her concubine, which is really beyond her strength." Linglong pursed her lips disdainfully, she had absolute confidence in her master's scheming.

Yue Biluo is not as confident as the palace maid, and the battle for the harem cannot be missed, otherwise it will fall into a catastrophe, and An Jingliang's fate is a lesson from the past.

"It seems that this palace has to help Concubine Wan."

As he was talking, a little eunuch ran in: "Queen Mother, the emperor is here, and he has entered the courtyard." ”

"Quick, help the palace to take over." The person who was still in good spirits just now suddenly languished, and stood up staggeringly with the hand of the personal palace maid, and dragged his steps out step by step.

Xuan Lonely saw the woman take it out in person, caught up with a step, and couldn't help reproaching: "Didn't you let you be formal, why did you run out." ”

"It's okay, I've been in a lot better these two days, ahem."

It took a long time to say a short sentence, and I was out of breath.

"Quick, help your master in and lie down." What's good, Xuan Lonely looked at her face, and it was a few points worse than before.

Seeing that the man's concern was beyond words, Yue Biluo was happy in her heart, "Your Majesty, the concubine is really nothing, you don't have to worry, cough cough, just rest for a few days." ”

"How can Niangniang have time to rest, there will be a few people running to disturb me at such a while." Linglong helped her master into the house, and complained for her master.

Xuan Lili immediately frowned: "I have already said that you are not allowed to disturb the queen, who is so bold?" ”

"Linglong, just your mouth." Yue Biluo reproached Linglong with disgust, then looked at him and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, Concubine Wan wants to increase the monthly example for the sisters, and the palace is trying to ask the emperor to show it." ”

"Why, isn't there enough silver in each palace?" Entering the room while talking, Yue Biluo invited him to sit, and then leaned to the side, Xuan Lonely straightened the imperial robe, and looked at her for advice: "What do you mean?" ”

The palace people served tea, and Yue Biluo personally served it to him: "Your Majesty, drink tea first to moisten your throat." Then he said: "It's not enough to have the monthly rules of each palace, it's just that Concubine Wan has just been on duty, and she wants to win people's hearts, and the concubines want to support her, so that she won't be able to convince the public in the future, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

Xuan Silence took a sip and nodded appreciatively: "I am deeply relieved that you can think about Concubine Wan, and this matter depends on you; Anything else, together with what I can do for you, has been done. ”

"Emperor Xie supports."

The woman's face looked less dim because of joy, and her originally godless eyes shone with a burning brilliance, but in an instant, a touch of worry floated on her cheeks, and her tone was hesitant: "It's nothing, it's all trivial things, the emperor should not listen to it." ”

"Queen, when did you also learn this set, talk." Xuan Lonely said slightly unpleasantly.

Yue Biluo looked frightened, and opened her lips helplessly: "Mrs. Fang Cai Qi was beaten, and she came to cry and cry for a long time, you also know that the concubine's health was not good, and she made her head bigger. ”

"This Mrs. Qi is also an ignorant person, knowing that you can't worry about it, she came to disturb, there must be something to beg for a beating, what is the matter?" These ladies have never been concerned, and they can't talk about the slightest affection, and when they heard this, they were angry.

Yue Biluo smiled and said: "Exactly, she shouldn't rely on getting close to the palace, and she usually bullies other ladies, but today she dares to provoke Concubine Li's anger, and she deserves to be punished." ”

"Angering Concubine Li? Then Concubine Li and the fetus in the womb are fine, right? When Xuan Lonely heard this, he immediately put the tea cup on the Nanmu coffee table, and his worry was far greater than that of Fang Cai.

The woman's eyes that had just rejuvenated suddenly dimmed, in his mind, that woman would always be the first, this recognition made her crazy, but she had to pretend that nothing happened, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Concubine Li is fine, now that she has punished Mrs. Qi, I believe that no one will dare to make trouble in the future." ”

"Concubine Li has just taken charge of the harem, so naturally she wants to use her own methods to build prestige, Mrs. Qi is your person, but she is also the most suitable, but she has wronged you." Xuan Lili was well versed in the way of the royal family, so he naturally saw the fame in it at once, and patted the woman's hand, half comforting and half hinting that she should not care.

Yue Biluo was extremely generous: "The emperor can rest assured, of course the concubines understand this truth, so they have already told Mrs. Qi to keep to the rest of the world, and not to let Concubine Li and Concubine Wan be distracted." ”

"That's good." Xuan Lili praised with deep relief.
