The person who came knelt in front of her with a plop, hid his face and cried: "Concubine Li, you can't live this day, you have to be the master of the concubine." ”

Dou Lianyi took the towel handed by Xiao Yingzi, wiped his hands slowly, handed it back, and took the blue and white gold teacup, took a sip slowly, and then looked at the person under his feet.

The woman's melon seed face, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, and soft and weak temperament make her look sick.

"Mrs. Li, get up and speak."

After the people on the ground thanked him, Fang stood up, always hanging his head, with a faint sadness between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel inexplicably distressed.

"I can't live this kind of thing, this palace advises you not to say it again, if you listen to the queen mother and the queen mother, be careful about your skin; If you have any grievances, speak them out and listen to them. To put it bluntly, Madame is a palace prostitute, and her status in the palace is sometimes inferior to a palace person with a head and a face, Dou Lianyi has experienced it, and she knows their difficulties, and she can't help but sigh softly after reprimanding her.

Mrs. Li glanced at her weakly, and before she could say anything, tears fell first, "Concubine Li's lesson is that the concubine should not have come to disturb you, but Mrs. Qi has gone too far, you see." The woman brushed the ground and hugged her sleeves, and the bruises on her jade arms came into view.

And that's not all, she pulled open the collar again, revealing a large blistered burn.

"All of this was made by Mrs. Qi?" Dou Lianyi exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but think of Mrs. Qi's provocative words in the Chunxi Palace, "Why did she hurt you, but you provoked her?" ”

Mrs. Li sobbed and shook her head: "Mrs. Qi has an arrogant personality, often bullying several sisters, usually just scolding a few words, at most a slap and a few kicks, today somehow annoyed her, ran up and pinched to death, and splashed hot water, the concubine really couldn't stand it, so she came to implore Niangniang to be the master." ”

"It's all ordinary ladies, why is she so arrogant? Why didn't you report it before? This was too much, but she was suspicious of Mrs. Li's behavior of not reporting early or late, and she had just taken charge of the harem and came to ask for help, so she asked sharply.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, and then explained the reason: "Mrs. Qi is the queen's mother, and she never takes the concubines in her eyes because she has a backer, and no one cares if she reports it." ”

That's it, Dou Lianyi nodded secretly, Zhou is really the queen's person, and the deliberate provocation has also found a source, and it must be ordered by the queen.

"Sit down." Dou Lianyi raised his hand to signal her to sit down, and then ordered: "Su Yun, you go and get the emergency room to give medicine to Mrs. Li; Xiaoyingzi, if you go and invite Mrs. Qi to come, you will say that the palace has something to ask her. ”

Mrs. Li just sat down, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that she bounced up: "Concubine Li, forget it, you just treat the concubine as a concubine and say nothing, and the concubine will retire." ”

"Sit down."

With Dou Lianyi's temperament, he can't see the bully the weak, just don't know, since he knows, how can he ignore it.

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she sat down in her chair, frightened, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

After touching a bag of cigarettes, Su Yun had just finished giving Mrs. Li the medicine, and Mrs. Qi was brought in, and the woman had a pair of hanging eyes, a tall nose, and a pointed chin.

I saw her bow to the ground lightly, and greeted her in a lively tone: "The concubine is to ask Concubine Li, Concubine Li is auspicious." ”

Silence, silence for long periods of time.

Mrs. Li was visibly restless, and from time to time she wrenched her handkerchief and glanced at the superior seat sitting upright on the couch.

And Mrs. Qi, who was lying on the ground, didn't know whether she was forced by this invisible pressure, or kneeling for too long so that her body swayed slightly, but the superior never spoke, and she didn't dare to move for half a minute.

"I don't know what happened to Mrs. Li, you want to bully her like this?"

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Dou Lianyi finally opened his mouth.

"Concubine Li, the concubine is wronged, you go to the Cui Palace to inquire, is the concubine the kind of bully, don't listen to the villain."

Mrs. Qi raised a pair of flexible hanging eyes and shouted loudly.

"According to your understanding, how did the pinch marks on Mrs. Li's arms and the burns on her neck come about? Don't tell Hongu that she accidentally made it herself. Dou Lianyi slowly fiddled with the jade jujube bracelet on his wrist and asked slowly.

Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes and replied, "Mrs. Li has always been competitive, and she often argues with several other ladies, and there are also cases when she makes moves. Speaking of this, she turned her head and stared at Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, tell Sù Niangniang quickly, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, right?" ”

"This ......"

Mrs. Li shrank by her staring, biting her lip, her face flushed, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Damn, he dared to threaten the bitter lord in front of himself, Dou Lianyi was thinking about beating a rising bird to Liwei, saving the matter of pulling skin and tendons every day, and the lady Qi in front of him was very suitable.

The status is neither high nor low, and she is a cronie of the queen's mother, so she just uses it to do it.

"Xiao Yingzi, you go to the Cui Palace again and invite a few ladies together." She commanded in a rambling voice.

Xiao Yingzi went in response, and in the room, the lord of the first palace sat leisurely on the couch, his fingers tapped lightly on the teacup, making a pleasant jingling sound, but the atmosphere was obviously tense, and the two ladies wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads at the same time.

"Mrs. Qi, this palace will give you one last chance, if you come from the truth, this palace may be able to open up." Knowing that Mrs. Qi would not admit it until she completed her master's task of disrupting the situation, Dou Lianyi teased like a cat and a mouse.

Mrs. Qi's hanging eyes turned more lively, and there was uneasiness, hesitation, and fear in her eyes, and finally she bit her jade teeth: "How can you confess what the concubine has not done?" ”

"Not the best, what are you anxious about?" She whispered softly, her demeanor was serene, her tone was relaxed, and she was so indifferent that people couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Mrs. Li, who had not spoken, stood up and opened her mouth with a loud voice: "Concubine Li, forget it, the concubine's body is not seriously injured, thanks to the mother's mother, it is not so painful, and the concubine body will not disturb your rest......"

"Sit down."

She let out a loud cry, frightened the woman's legs, fell down on the stool again, and after glancing at her with a pair of frightened eyes, she quickly lowered her head.

Angry and unhappy, Dou Lianyi said sharply: "Mrs. Li, do you think that this palace is the gate of the vegetable garden, you want to come and sue it, and now you want to withdraw the lawsuit?" If you dare to say it, this palace will punish you for the crime of teasing the superior. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, beg the mother for forgiveness." Mrs. Li fell to her knees with a thud.

She shook her head and softened her tone: "Get up, sit on the side." ”

Just as Mrs. Li thanked her and sat down, the other two ladies were brought in by Xiao Yingzi and knelt in a row to greet her.

"Get up."

She raised her hand and motioned to flatten up.

"Seeing a few ladies, Bengong can't help but think of the days in the past in the Cui Palace, which has been two years in a flash." Looking back on the past, Dou Lianyi was quite emotional.

Mrs. Wen smiled flatteringly: "The concubine told others at that time that Concubine Li Niangniang is by no means an ordinary person, and one day she will fly on the branches, and sure enough." ”

"Yes, yes, the concubine thinks so too." Mrs. Rong hurriedly echoed.

Poof, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, if memory serves, these two didn't step on her at the time.

"It seems that this palace can have today thanks to the two ladies who look up to it, thank you very much." Dou Lianyi smiled and groaned, looking old.

The two ladies Rong and Wen coughed embarrassedly twice, how dare they take credit: "The mother has tormented the concubine." ”

"Alright, the old story is finished, let's get down to business." Her expression froze, and the momentum of being in a high position made several ladies feel cold.

The moment Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Wen entered the door, they saw Mrs. Li sitting on the side wiping her tears, and Mrs. Qi kneeling at the feet of Concubine Li. ”

"That's good."

She is not so optimistic, the two in front of her are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have been up and down in the harem for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to worshipping high and stepping on low, fighting openly and secretly, and it is not easy to want them to be light.

"You caused the injuries on Mrs. Li's body." It was obviously a question, but Dou Lianyi used an affirmative tone.

bluffed the two of them and waved their hands again and again: "No, no, Niang Niang Mingjian." ”

"Don't tell Hongu that she hurt herself." In the next sentence, she directly blocked the excuse they were most likely to use.

Sure enough, Rong and Wen glanced at each other and remained silent.

"Regarding the case of Mrs. Li's injury, this palace must try the results today, so I advise you two not to be lucky, and now give you half a pillar of incense to think about it carefully, and then answer after thinking about it." The tea was cold, Su Yun changed it, Dou Lianyi took it, and sipped it neatly.

As the minutes ticked by, the room was very quiet, except for the occasional gasps of the ladies.

Madame Li was restless, things seemed to be getting bigger, and she was afraid of retaliation, but the development of the situation was out of her control.

The two ladies Rong and Wen are at war, and now the situation is clear: behind Mrs. Li stands Concubine Li, and behind Mrs. Qi is the queen, and the people below are most afraid of being caught between the two masters.

As for Mrs. Qi, who had been kneeling on the ground, she also muttered in her heart, usually the best person to talk to is Concubine Li, but now she doesn't know why, she is holding on to herself, and after thinking about it, she has the support of the queen, and she suddenly has confidence.

"It's time."

Dou Lianyi gently slapped the half-drunk tea on the table, although it was a faint sound, but it was both a reminder and a threat.
