Chapter 232: You're All in One
The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, he looked at the wound on Qi Guifei's face, and then looked at Qi Guifei's tightly closed mouth, he was even more sure of the guess in his heart, "It seems that you usually offend a lot of people, Guifei!"
"Your Majesty...... How can you say that about a concubine?" Concubine Qi was flustered for a while, "It's not what you think, the last thing a concubine should do is to offend the county lord."
"County Lord?" The emperor snorted coldly, "Where did you start with this concubine?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that since the Lord of Yongchen returned to Beijing, everyone has not been very happy when they meet several times." Concubine Qi didn't know how to explain, but after thinking about it, she continued, "In this palace, it should be the Yongchen County Lord who hates me the most, you see that she talks back to me every time, and no one in the entire Shang Zhou Dynasty dares to do this to me."

Qi Guifei lowered her head aggrievedly and looked at her fingers, waiting for the emperor to answer.
As a result, the emperor did not continue to pursue at all, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that these gatherings were all made by the Qi family and Feng Yuanqing and his concubine Zichu in embarrassment for the county lord of Yongchen, but every time they missed, it was a blessing in disguise and mixed up their reputation.
The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to her, but instructed Old Marquis Sheng, "Hurry up and help Concubine Qi to see if she is lying."
"Your Majesty, why do you say that about your concubines?"
Qi Guifei was angry and still twisting, here the old marquis Sheng answered, stretched out his hand, lifted the cloth on Qi Guifei's face, and revealed a whole face, and the scars on it were shocking.
Only then did Concubine Qi react: "Your Majesty, don't look at the concubines." Concubine Qi cried, "Don't look, don't look, concubines are not like this."
"How so?" The emperor looked at Concubine Qi with wide eyes.
The emperor looked at Concubine Qi's appearance, and then raised his head to look at Old Marquis Sheng: "You say, what's going on?"
"This wound should be caused by some kind of poison, the wound will not heal, and it will bleed all year round." Old Marquis Sheng was also full of helplessness.
"You're talking nonsense! I used the best ointment, how could this be?" Qi Guifei said excitedly, "You must be lying, you must know that Sheng Zhiyao made it, she has a grudge against me, it must be you who are doing ghosts!"
"Guifei Niangniang, what you said is chilling." Old Marquis Sheng said in a deep voice, "Don't slander my granddaughter, she is such a kind and well-behaved child, how could she do such a thing as murdering you."
"No, it must have been her, it must have been her!" Qi Guifei looked hysterical, "You must know what she's up to, right?"
The emperor listened to Concubine Qi's hysterical voice, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Such a crazy and stupid Qi Guifei, how could he fall in love with such a woman, he was really blind!
Seeing that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, Old Marquis Sheng hurriedly added some oil: "The emperor is angry, I don't know where my family's Yao offended Concubine Qi, please be aware of everything, don't wronged her."
"Shut up!" Qi Guifei shouted, "You are her own grandfather, of course you are protecting her!" You're all in this group!"
Old Marquis Sheng sneered: "Concubine Niangniang, please pay attention to your words, otherwise don't blame the old man for not caring about his feelings."
"I'm not wrong, she is, she's a vicious woman!" Qi Guifei said, and was about to pounce on and grab Old Marquis Sheng's clothes, "You are all villains!"
"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the table and stood up, "Stand down."
Qi Guifei wanted to shout again, but was stopped by a sharp look from the emperor.
The emperor walked up to Concubine Qi and looked at her condescendingly.
Qi Guifei's heart jumped suddenly, and a sense of fear surged in her heart, which was a feeling that she had never felt before, as if she had been pinched by someone's neck, out of breath, and even felt that she was about to die.
The emperor's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and Concubine Qi had never seen such a look.
"I say it again, stand down." The emperor said coldly.
Qi Guifei was stupefied by such a look, and hurriedly stepped back, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"The concubine knows that she is wrong."
"Hmph." The emperor snorted coldly, turned his head and said to Old Marquis Sheng, "Zhiyao should also teach a good lesson, and you have to say hello when you go out to play."
Old Marquis Sheng hurriedly agreed: "The minister obeys the order."
After speaking, he glanced at Qi Guifei and sighed secretly: "Your face is starting to swell, ask someone to bring some ice cubes to compress it."
Qi Guifei was stunned: "No, right? It's just some redness and swelling."
"Aren't you ashamed enough?" The emperor scolded angrily, "You're not going to have this face, aren't you? Hurry up and have someone bring you ice!"
Concubine Qi could only compromise: "Yes, the concubine knows."
After speaking, she hurriedly gave Qingyun a look.
Qingyun understood, and immediately left the main hall in a hurry with the palace maid and eunuch.
Qi Guifei wiped her tears and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty...... The concubine's face must have been made by the county lord."
The emperor frowned: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, it must have been done by the county lord, she must have a grudge, she knows best what virtue her concubines are, she definitely did it on purpose." Qi Guifei said angrily.
"Why would she do that?" The emperor asked.
"The concubine doesn't know,......" Qi Guifei bit her lip and shook her head, "Yesterday, I obviously refused to help the concubine make lunch, but when I came over later, the concubine felt that she was very strange, but the concubine couldn't figure out what she wanted to do."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, what Concubine Qi said was true, but, "I called Zhiyao here, because she knows medical skills, I want her to come and see what's wrong with you."
"Concubine Qi, you said you didn't see my granddaughter, why do you think my granddaughter is strange?" Old Marquis Sheng asked coldly, "And why are you sure that she hurt you?"
Qi Guifei looked at Old Marquis Sheng, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Who else could it be if it wasn't her?"
"You make it clear, don't be vague, how could our Zhiyao do such a thing?" Old Marquis Sheng frowned and said, "Besides, if you don't make it clear, you are slandering."
"Your Majesty, the concubines ......" Qi Guifei was speechless for a while, "The concubines ......"
"Alright." The emperor waved his hand to interrupt Concubine Qi, "I believe that Zhiyao would not do such a thing."
Qi Guifei gritted her teeth and said, "But she just did it."
"That's it! Before the matter is clarified, you shut up for me! And why are the people below you so slow to get an ice cube?" The emperor glared at the palace maid and eunuch behind Concubine Qi and roared coldly.
Qi Guifei was so angry that her face turned green, the emperor had never murdered her like this, and now she dared to yell at her for that stinky girl, it was unreasonable!
But it's okay, when Qingyun goes to the ice cellar, Sheng Zhiyao's death time will come.
