Chapter 42: Grounding (1)

I went back to the palace and sat down angrily, I was really ashamed and angry! I never thought that all my arrangements were not yet complete, and Concubine Zheng had already begun to make trouble! I had only been driving with me in the Yanying Hall a few times, and she couldn't have thought too much of me, right? After spending such a big effort, even the queen was "forced" by her to get sick, just to ban my feet?

At this time, the queen should not do anything to me, but this does not prevent her from deliberately negligent in some aspects, so that Concubine Zheng Guifei's plan against me will succeed, so that I hate this arrogant and domineering woman even more!

That's why her "illness" is so coincidental!

The palace people all stood trembling on both sides, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little more peaceful and solemn than before. I tilted my head slightly, and saw Liu Youyu standing there with a miserable white face in the crowd. I was shocked and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Liu Youyu knelt down and said, "Before the slave had time to go out, he was stopped by the guards sent by Concubine Zheng Guifei and didn't let the slave go out......"

Saving people is like fighting fire, Liu Youyu's illness will be more dangerous if it is delayed for a day!

This Zheng Guifei's speed is really fast enough, the front foot invited the queen Yizhi, and the back foot surrounded the entire Chengming Palace, it seems that she has been prepared!

Thinking of this, I slapped the table hard. The fine pear blossom wood made my hands hurt even when it shook me. Implicating yesterday's injured forearm, I gasped in pain.

"Niangniang carefully wounds on her hands!" Spring Equinox and Gu Yu both became nervous.

I had an idea and said to Liu Youyu: "I feel unwell in this palace, and I need to find a doctor to consult." Liu Youyu, you go to the Imperial Medical Department to invite Lord Shen. If the guards stop you, you don't have to break in, just ask them to help you. If they won't ......," I sneered, "then ask them to collect the corpses of this palace later!"

Liu Youyu's expression was solemn, and he bowed down and said, "Yes!"

For today's plan, I can only ask Shen Qi, so I can test whether he can really be used by me.

When Liu Youyu left, I glanced at the spring equinox, and she understood and followed.

After a short time when the spring equinox came back, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he retreated from the rest of the palace people, and said to me: "It's strange, those guards didn't stop Liu Youyu. ”

I was also surprised and asked, "What the hell is going on? There's no reason why I stopped them before and didn't stop them now, but Liu Youyu threatened them?"

The spring equinox said: "No, the slave maid arrived at the door with him, and Liu Youyu said, Niangniang's health is not safe, and he went to ask for a doctor." I didn't say much about the rest of the sentence, and just let him go. ”

I was stunned for a moment, when did the guards sent by Concubine Zheng Guifei become so easy to talk to?

However, since he is willing to let him out, presumably Liu Youyu must go to find Xiao Dezi, he is so worried about his mother, and probably he is not worried about others.

Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Qi came, but Liu Youyu was nowhere to be seen. I was about to ask, but Xiaoman ran in in a panic and said, "Oh no, it's not good, Niangniang, the guards stopped Gonggong Liu, saying that he went out without permission and wanted to be punished with a cane!"

I suddenly got up, and it turned out that they were waiting here!

Regardless of Shen Qi's preparation for my pulse, I walked out angrily, and in the courtyard, two guards twisted Liu Youyu's arms and pressed him to the ground, the dust on the ground and the sweat on his face made him embarrassed. The other two guards brought spring benches and boards, and the posture was very fierce.

After putting the spring stool away, Liu Youyu was tied to it.

One of the guards said to me with a blank face: "Niangniang, please forgive me, this slave disobeyed the will, and the subordinate had to punish him with a small punishment." ”

What a small punishment and a big commandment, this is clearly life-threatening!

Is the board in the palace really so durable? Everything depends on the severity of the hand, if the hand is light, a hundred big boards will not be more than a flesh wound. If you start hard, 30 boards can kill you!

They are Zheng Guifei's people, how can they be polite to the people in my palace!

I trembled with anger, but I could only hide my trembling fingers in my sleeve and said with a forced smile on my face: "Yes, it is this slave who is disobedient, and this palace is also at fault for poor supervision." "I saw the determination in Liu Youyu's eyes, he has not said a word until now, knowing that he has given the letter to Xiao Dezi, even if he is killed at this time, he is afraid that he will accept his fate!

But I didn't allow him to accept his fate! He said in a deep voice: "Liu Youyu, you are so impulsive, you only know that you are blindly concerned about the sick body of the palace, but you have forgotten the will of the noble concubine. If you are lucky enough to pick up a life, this palace will remember that you are loyal and commendable, and you will still be allowed to serve in front of you, and you will return to your hometown in the future, and you will also have dignity! If you are unfortunately dead...... I only pity your family outside the palace. ”

He looked stunned, looked at me and opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was strangled by a hemp rope and prevented him from speaking.

The guard from before said: "Jieyu Niangniang, why don't you avoid it first, and the blood will be hula later, for fear of shocking your noble body!"

The spring equinox also helped me and said, "Niangniang, go back first, right?"

"This palace is not leaving," I smiled at her, and then said, "Call all the palace people in the Chengming Palace, and the palace will watch with them! Liu Youyu is a person in my palace, and he suffered this great crime for the sake of the palace, and the palace has no way to protect him, but he can't be a turtle with a shrunken head! This palace is standing here, and I want you to stand here, and he will be punished alone, that is, the people of our entire Chengming Hall will be punished!"

My voice was stern as they had never seen before, and they all looked at the guards who were about to cast the shape and Liu Youyu who was being tortured. The guards were shocked and frightened, but Liu Youyu was righteous and awe-inspiring.

If you have a little brain, you will know that this will to ground me was given by the concubine at the request of the queen, but the queen is sick, so this will can be said to be the meaning of the concubine alone. The queen doesn't mean to ban me, and the emperor doesn't have it!

In other words, I am still the emperor's favorite concubine!

The two guards hesitated a little, presumably, they were ordered to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys", but if Liu Youyu's life was really taken this time, how could I give up with them?

In their opinion, killing a slave is a trivial matter, but when I release such words, it can be seen that it is not a slave's business, but my face problem.

The master they are truly loyal to is the emperor, and if the emperor's favorite concubine loses face, their future may not be so smooth.

The guard smiled and said, "Niangniang's words are serious, but she is just a minion......"

"It's really a minion, and Bengong didn't say anything, didn't he?" I said with a smile, "You just have to fight with confidence! If you are really killed by one of you by mistake, only blame him for his bad life, and Bengong will not blame you." Just let the inner chamberlain pick a clever person, although this old love is good, how can it be a new favorite?"

The last sentence seems inappropriate on such an occasion, but I just want to tell them that there are always newcomers in the palace who are better than old people, and no matter how powerful Concubine Zheng is, she is also "old".
