41. Seek justice
Seeing her so sad, Mo Xiang hurriedly knelt beside her bed, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted: "Queen Mother, don't cry, it's not good to be a slave..."
"What's wrong with you, it's all that bastard's fault."
"In the harem, whoever gets the emperor's favor can do whatever he wants... Mother, the slave is really not angry, don't be angry..."
"Do whatever you want? I won't let her do that! Shen Qinghuan twisted the brocade quilt on the side with red eyes and said.
This morning, Xu Wanwan and Guo Caiyue asked Shen Qinghuan to come as usual.
I don't know if the two of them heard that on the fifteenth day of last night, the emperor did not stay in the Chenghuan Palace, but left angrily, Shen Qinghuan always felt that their expressions were full of three points of sympathy and four points of ridicule. Therefore, she just wanted to end this greeting event early.
"The queen doesn't look good today, did she not rest yesterday?" Guo Caiyue asked.
Shen Qinghuan felt that this Guo Caiyue didn't know much about her face, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Then aren't you sleepless every day?" ”
Guo Caiyue's face was a little unbearable, but she soon laughed: "Yes, the concubine is soft-spoken, and the emperor naturally looks down on it, but the queen is different, if she is compared to that concubine, it won't work." ”
It's really a pot that can't be opened. Shen Qinghuan only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, and when he was about to get angry, Xu Wanwan spoke.
"Don't be angry with the queen, Guo Guiren is just thinking about the queen. We have come this way, although the road is not long, but we have heard a lot of gossip. ”
"Gossip?" Shen Qinghuan asked.
Xu Wanwan nodded: "Exactly." Most of the time it means that you have lost face... And said..."
"Say what?" Shen Qinghuan narrowed his eyes, and his voice trembled a little because he couldn't help but be angry.
"Say that you don't look like you're the lord of the six houses!" Guo Caiyue picked it up, although her tone was full of pity, but there was still joy that could not be hidden.
Shen Qinghuan was furious and smashed the cup in his hand on the ground: "What a bold man, he dares to talk nonsense in the palace." She was really angry, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken like this, after all, although she was pampered and brought up, she treated her subordinates very well, and she had never seen such a slave with a broken mouth.
Guo Caiyue and Xu Wanwan were a little stunned, perhaps they didn't expect Shen Qinghuan to lose such a big temper. But who knows how long she has been angry in her heart.
"Mo Xiang, you go to check, whoever said these words, if they find out, they will be punished for half a month's monthly salary, in order to set an example, if there is still one, don't be an errand in the palace!"
"Yes, Queen."
Who knew that Guo Caiyue still felt dissatisfied, and continued: "Is there something that the queen can't convince people with virtue in this way? ”
"What more do you want? I don't punish, you say I'm cowardly and incompetent, I punish, and you say I can't convince people with virtue? ”
"Queen Mother, according to the concubine, everything is the fault of that Concubine Rong. If it weren't for her, how could those subordinates be pretending to be powerful, and how could rumors about you spread. The concubine thinks that this matter will be solved from the root, if you don't go to the Chaoyun Palace to warn Concubine Rong, she will probably only be more arrogant. Guo Caiyue said.
After all, Shen Qinghuan is not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't expect the twists and turns in Guo Caiyue's words, and he always felt that his status was high, even if he went to embarrass Concubine Rong, it didn't matter. Thinking of this, she actually felt that Guo Caiyue's words still made some sense. It was Xu Wanwan, who looked at Shen Qinghuan with a little worried eyes.
"Go to the Chaoyun Palace." Shen Qinghuan said word by word.
In the afternoon, Shen Qinghuan came to Chaoyun Hall for the first time, and suddenly felt a little hesitant in his heart. She didn't know if she should go in and ask the woman who had done nothing wrong.
If Qi Yan doesn't like her, even if she is born like a fairy and has the ability to seduce people in eighteen ways, she can't move Qi Yan's heart. She's just a poor person who has been sent to a foreign land, and is it really good for her to question her so domineeringly?
Mo Xiang seemed to see Shen Qinghuan's hesitation, and said, "Niangniang, can't bear it?" ”
Shen Qinghuan turned around and saw that the swelling on her face had not completely subsided, and she regretted that she had softened her heart towards Concubine Rong just now.
"No, I didn't."
"Niangniang doesn't have to be a slave..."
"I'm not just for you. Or for the sake of the entire Chenghuan Palace, do you want to be oppressed forever in the future? Shen Qinghuan made up his mind and walked in.
Gong E, who was cleaning outside the hall, had sharp eyes, and saw Shen Qinghuan who had just come in at a glance. Immediately, he shouted with a little pale: "The queen mother is here." ”
"When you see the queen, why don't you kneel down and say goodbye?" Mo Xiang said.
