"Although this little girl is clever, in a place like Xianghe Palace, all her advantages can't compare to a finger of others. She has to do the lowest work quietly. As for having this consort accompany His Majesty in the imperial study, it must be Nanny Deng's idea. Find the most inconspicuous maidservant in Xianghe Palace to pass the message to this consort. "
"At that time, even if the matter is exposed, you can shirk all responsibility. Not only will the Emperor not be suspicious, but even I myself will not be able to help but wonder if I have wronged the Empress. Did I believe the words of others and feel that I have wronged the Empress?"
"What are you saying, Imperial Consort? Why can't this consort understand? This maidservant was tortured to this state by you. Even if she was in good condition, this consort wouldn't recognize her. Just as Imperial Consort said, someone deliberately framed this consort. How did you … "
"She was tortured because she was disobedient and stubborn. She naively thought that because she was loyal to Her Majesty, you would send someone to save her sooner or later. So this girl's mouth was tightly shut. So many tortures were used on her, but she didn't say anything. It was Her Majesty who sent her to pass the message. "
Hearing Shen Yueji's words, Gu Yueyin's expression finally looked better. She looked as if she had just survived a disaster after knowing that the matter hadn't been exposed.
She wiped her forehead with her white hand, and there was panic on her face, as if she was afraid that the matter would be exposed.
She looked down at the dying Qiu Lian, who happened to be looking at her.
She moved her lips. "Did she say who the mastermind was in the end?"
Shen Yueji smiled and touched Qiu Lian's deathly pale face. Her pretty little face was full of bumps and hollows, making it difficult to tell what she had looked like before. One of her eyes had long been destroyed by the fire. In the large Phoenix Perch Palace, one could even smell the scent of cooked meat on her body. It was fragrant and terrifying.
"Come, be obedient and tell this consort. Did Her Majesty order you to pass the message to this consort?"
Qiu Lian didn't speak. When Shen Yueji reached out her hand, she opened her mouth and wanted to bite her.
Fortunately, Double Happiness reacted in time. Mou Ran whipped her face.
"Pa —" The sound of the whip was so loud that Qiu Lian's already bruised face split open again. It was a frightening sight to behold.
Even Gu Yueyin, who had seen all kinds of scenes, felt a bit angry when she saw Shen Yueji treat a maidservant so cruelly.
She had long known that this maidservant was a member of Auspicious Harmony Palace. Regardless of whether she knew it or not, she had always been adamant that Qiu Lian was a member of Auspicious Harmony Palace.
She, the mistress of Xiang He Palace, was here, but she treated her servant like this. Did she even put her in her eyes?
Right now, Gu Yueyin didn't dare to voice her anger. If she dared to be angry, she would be admitting that Qiu Lian was a slave of her Auspicious Harmony Palace and that everything Qiu Lian had done had been secretly instructed by her.
If she wasn't angry, then she, Shen Yueji, was just an insignificant Imperial Concubine Shen. She didn't even put the Empress in her eyes. In her heart, who was the master of the harem?
What did she take her for?!
Qiu Lian let out a blood-curdling scream.
In fact, she breathed in more than she breathed out.
Deng mama saw her master's hesitation and shouted angrily, "Imperial Concubine Shen, what are you doing?!"
