Chapter Twenty-Four: Autumn Comes with Wind and Rain
Shen Chaowugang wanted to veto, but after thinking about it carefully, the matter was such a trivial matter, let the queen solve it.
"Okay, then I'll bother the queen, I'll go to the early court first." Shen Chaowu waved his big hand and left.
Only Nian Ruchu and Fu Wanxian and Bi'er Peiyu kneeling on the ground were left in the hall, and after a while, the imperial concubine Li Shushen and the concubine Wei Shuning arrived at Yonghua Palace first.
Immediately afterwards, other concubines also rushed to Yonghua Palace to watch this good show.
After everyone saluted, they sat down slowly, and the concubines all whispered, muttering in a low voice why the emperor was so angry tonight.
"I heard that Concubine Shu sent a palace maid to falsely pass on the emperor's message." Concubine Cheng Huiran and Concubine Ling Ruan Sangyu whispered underneath, and even Pei Yuanqiu, a noble Pei who was on Concubine Shu's side, did not dare to speak out at this time.
"Sisters, don't talk about the lady concubine first, let's see how the queen mother handles this matter first." Concubine Qin Chaohuan glanced at Cheng Huiran, who was sitting on the side, and shook her head.
Cheng Huiran knew that he shouldn't talk about Concubine Shu at such a time, so he had to bow his head in shame: "Concubine knows her mistakes." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Nian Ruchu and Fu Wanxian walked in, the two of them had already interrogated Bi'er for a while next door, and Bi'er also admitted that it was instructed by the imperial concubine Li Shushen.
"It's all here." Nian Ruchu looked at everyone standing in a row, her face became even more solemn, how could she have to beat this group of women today, otherwise how would she manage the harem at the beginning of her life.
"Say hello to the queen mother, the queen concubine, and the princess Wen Guifei."
Nian Ruchu waved her hand and motioned for them to sit down, Li Shushen kept a straight face the whole time, she never thought that Bi'er would betray her and betray her at the last level!
"After careful consideration by the palace and Concubine Wen, the concubine Peiyu pulled out the cane and died, and the concubine disciplined the slave and accidentally punished her for half a year, and after thinking about it for a month behind closed doors, the imperial concubine and the palace maid Bi'er, with a vicious heart, privately plucked the imperial concubine, pulled out the cane and punished a hundred, and immediately drove out of Beiyan, and she was not allowed to step into Beiyan for half a step for eternity!"
Nian Ruchu's will, Peiyu was pulled out directly, Wei Shuning had no choice but to save it, so she could only watch Peiyu being taken out by the eunuch, and Li Shushen's face was not angry, but there was a hint of joy.
No matter what Bi'er does to the queen's mother, it is impossible for her Li Shushen to let Bi'er go, who told Bi'er to betray her Li Shushen?
"The queen mother spares her life, and the slave maid will never dare again." Then Bi'er began to cry and scream, she didn't want to die, how could she be killed like this?
Nian Ruchu didn't care, waved his hand to signal the eunuch to take her down, and it was also a disaster for such a palace maid to stay.
"Concubine Wen begs you to save the slave maid, the slave maid is out of this Yonghua Palace, and the imperial concubine Niangniang will never let the slave and maid live to the cold palace."
Bi'er's words shocked the concubines present, what kind of slave can say such words? As soon as he said this, even if he survived, he would be tortured.
"Miss Bi'er, you better be arrested, after all, this kind of thing will never be done by the imperial concubine, if you don't provoke it, how can the imperial concubine do it?" Concubine Shu had long forgotten that she was also a part of this incident.
Fu Wanxian smiled, she didn't know Bi'er, why did she risk offending the imperial concubine to save a slave who she didn't know and had framed herself?
"As the saying goes, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Fu Wanxian looked at Bi'er who was kneeling on the ground, at this time she was no longer as rampant as Fang Cai, she listened to Concubine Wen's words, thinking that she was trying to intercede for herself and be able to save her life.
Who knows what Fu Wanxian said next, she didn't expect that although she is a slave, she is also a living life, why can these high-ranking concubines control other people's lives so confidently?
"But spare people, I'm afraid that everyone in the harem will follow suit in the future."
"Concubine Wen, you..."Bi'er sat paralyzed on the ground, she was completely desperate, she thought that she could get the emperor's favor by virtue of her young and beautiful when she entered the palace, but after entering the palace for so many years, she only saw the emperor once, but it was that time that she also paid the price.
"Why don't you hurry up and pull this out, so as not to stain the eyes of the queen mother here." Li Shushen played with the jade ring in her hand, looking like she didn't care about herself, she had already guessed such a result, it was absolutely impossible for her Li Shushen to fall like this.
"Queen Mother Shengming, for our harem in addition to such a big scourge." Wei Shuning's yin and yang weirdness made Nian Ruchu a little unbearable, if Li Shushen hadn't relied on her father to be a big official in the court, she wouldn't have let her go like this.
Nian Ruchu got up and looked at everyone: "This matter is over, if you let the palace know that there are such slaves and maids in the future, the palace will not spare it, and..." turned to look at Li Shushen, her eyes were full of disgust, "The emperor's favor which concubine is the emperor's business, if someone makes a fuss about this kind of thing, the palace will not spare it, and I hope those people can be more restrained in the future." ”
Nian Ruchu's words were clearly aimed at Nian Ruchu and Wei Shuning, Fu Wanxian knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Shushen, if it wasn't for Li Shushen's consent, how could a little slave dare to do such a thing.
"The concubine obeys the will of the queen." Everyone saluted and exited Yonghua Palace one by one.
Fu Wanxian watched the concubines leave Yonghua Palace one by one, and the big stone in her heart finally landed, although this matter did not let Li Shushen and Wei Shuning be punished, it was better than letting the two of them be free from beginning to end, but they took pity on the two palace maids, obviously doing things according to the will of the master, and in the end, the master was safe, and they themselves lost their lives.
"Concubine Xie Queen Niangniang is the master of the concubine today." Fu Wanxian saluted to express her gratitude, but Nian Ruchu still had a smile on her face, and only heard Nian Ruchu's weak voice for a while, "In this harem, instead of letting others help, it is better to keep to yourself and do what you have to do, it's really pitiful to see the fate of those two palace maids." ”
Nian Ruchu's words are nothing more than lamenting that those who really make things are not punished, but those who are slaves are punished.
"Isn't it all like this in the palace? The master made a mistake and was the first to be punished as a slave, isn't this a rule that has not changed for a hundred years? ”
Fu Wanxian thought it was funny, the harem masters made mistakes, I'm afraid that the first ones to suffer were those innocent slaves and slaves, but what was wrong with them? It's just that you can't eat outside the palace, and you can't go to the palace to be a slave or a maid?
Who is not pitiful in this world?
