Zhe Man came to her senses and realized the severity of the situation. She knelt down and begged for forgiveness. "It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Concubine Jing. Please forgive Concubine Jing on account of the fact that she's pregnant with the dragon's child."
Yan Guiren looked at the pale-faced Concubine Jing and Noble Lady An, who was on the verge of collapsing from fear. She strode forward and said, "My lady, please be magnanimous and let them go on account of their heavy bodies. If my lady is still angry, please punish me. I am willing to take the punishment on behalf of Concubine Jing and Noble Lady An!"
Lady Wen Yu said, "You've reminded me that there are two pregnant women here. Fine, I don't want to do anything outrageous. I'll let Concubine Jing and Concubine An go. However, I'll let the maids take the punishment on their mistresses. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't learn your lesson."
Concubine Jing's Cai Ju, Zhe Man, and Concubine An's Huanghun were both dragged to the side and slapped by the eunuchs of Willow Palace. Concubine An was even more frightened. If it weren't for Yan Guiren's quick reflexes, she would have fallen to the ground.
Lady Wen Yu looked at Yan Guiren, who was trembling all over. She said in a gentle tone, "Yan Guiren said that she was willing to take the blame for the three of them. That's very brave of her. How can I not fulfill her wish? As a compliment, you, yes, you, come over and slap Yan Guiren."
It was the incense burner that was lit. Her lips trembled and she didn't know what to say. Concubine An grabbed her subconsciously and shook her head. "No, you can't go." It wasn't clear if she was stopping the incense burner from slapping Yan Guiren, or if she was telling her not to let go of her now.
Lady Wen Yu seemed to be watching a good show. She didn't rush the incense burner. Instead, she said excitedly like a child, "Hurry up. You must be dissatisfied with your mistress. I'll give you a chance to avenge your private grudge. Isn't that good?"
The incense burner shook her head and said, "No."
Yan Guiren turned and urged, "Incense burner, quick!" The incense burner wanted to leave, but An Guiren held her back. She did not dare to shake An Guiren's hand off. She was almost seven months pregnant, and Yan Guiren was urging her. She was in a difficult position.
Seeing that they were about to stop, Luo Shuang Yi finally arrived. "What a mess. What are you doing here?"
Seeing him, almost everyone let out a sigh of relief. Ning guipin walked a few steps to Bai Suyan's side and asked with concern: "Niangniang, are you well?"
Bai Suyan wanted to say that she was fine, but now, she didn't want to talk. She felt pain when she breathed. She had to wave her hand and say that she was fine. Chun guipin fainted halfway. The little eunuch saw that Lady Wen Yu didn't pay attention to this side, so he didn't dare to grab his master and continue to beat him. What if he was punished later? He just stood by and watched. Now, Chun guipin looked much better than her.
"Chenqie greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Luoshuanga swept a glance and knew whose work this was, "Rise. The Wen Clan, you better give us an explanation."
Facing the slightly angry Emperor, Lady Wen Yu said unconcernedly, "It's nothing. Chenqie is in charge of palace affairs. I am just following the rules."
Luoshuanga didn't want to be entangled with people like Lady Wen Yu. He waved his hand and dismissed them. The concubines and concubines supported each other and staggered away, completely lacking their usual manners.
When only Lady Wen Yu and Luoshuanga remained, Lady Wen Yu said, "What does Your Majesty want to whisper to chenqie?"
Luoshuanga frowned and said, "Don't go too far. Since this Emperor can fulfill your wish and support you to this day, this Emperor can also make you fail at the last step and fall into the dust tomorrow."
Lady Wen Yu suddenly laughed heartily. She laughed so hard that she was out of breath. In the end, she even choked and coughed. Heye rushed forward to pat her back. Bilu also poured a cup of tea for her. Who would have thought that Lady Wen Yu would spit out all the blood after taking a sip.
Bilu was shocked and quickly pushed the blame, "It's not this Servant's fault. This Servant didn't make this tea. This Servant really didn't know anything!"
"Why are you panicking? Useless thing, "Lady Wen Yu's chest heaved up and down, but she still looked like she was out of breath," Your Majesty, look at this concubine who is already like this, do you still care about it? She's a lunatic who doesn't even care about her own life. What can Your Majesty do to her? " Heye's eyes reddened when she heard this. Everything in front of her blurred. Only the pool of blood on the ground was so eye-catching.
Lady Wen Yu directly wiped her mouth with her sleeve. The blood at the corner of her lips and the rouge on her lips dyed her cheeks a mournful red. "Your Majesty, chenqie is already like this. There's nothing left for you to use. Chenqie used the last of her time to accompany Consort Yan and play such a good show, paving the way for Your Majesty. How will Your Majesty thank chenqie?"
Luoshuanga's anger had calmed down. He said, "Do you have any last wishes?"
Lady Wen Yu looked at Heye and said, "It's nothing. Chenqie asks Your Majesty to give each of them three hundred taels of silver and raise them into good families."
"Your Majesty — —" Heye couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out.
"Gu agrees."
On the other side, Bai Suyan and her entourage returned to Shuangbo Palace dispiritedly. Bai Suyan was supported by Ning guipin. Behind them, Liang guipin and Li Yingying were holding Chun guipin, one on the left and one on the right. At the end was Shan Ying who seemed to be deep in thought. As she walked, she couldn't help but stop.
Bai Suyan returned to Liuying Hall. Xia Zhi brought medicine over to help her apply it. Seeing her gasp for air, Ning guipin couldn't help but feel pain. She asked in puzzlement, "Why does niangniang have to lower yourself like this and pave the way for Lady Wen Yu? Even if it's to drive a wedge between the Empress Dowager and Ying guipin, you should think about the future. After this matter, who would put niangniang in their eyes?"
Bai Suyan wanted to laugh, but she pulled at her wounds. She silently cursed how this Lady Wen Yu had picked people. She wasn't smart and hit her so hard. Right now, she couldn't even speak. She could only make a gesture for them to wait and point at the wounds on her face.
Ning guipin said helplessly: "Pinqie understands niangniang's meaning. But niangniang, are you really going to watch as Lady Wen Yu continues to be so arrogant?"
A thread of sorrow flashed through Bai Suyan's eyes. After shaking her head, she dipped her hand into the tea and wrote the two characters "Shan Zi" on the table. Ning guipin looked and nodded, declaring: "Niangniang, please rest well these days. Shan Ying promised that pinqie would keep an eye on her."
Bai Suyan pulled over Ning guipin's hand and patted it. Ning guipin smiled, replying: "Niangniang has already reached this step. Pinqie can't drag you down at this time."
Liuying Hall could be considered peaceful and harmonious, but Wan Feng Hall was a bit tragic. Chun guipin cursed Bai Suyan as she cried out in pain. Liang guipin couldn't hold her back. Li Yingying was very embarrassed. She didn't know whether to leave or stay. It seemed that no one cared about her. But she was afraid that if she left quietly, she would be accused of being disrespectful. That would be uncomfortable.
With great difficulty, she managed to pacify Chun guipin. Concubine Liang was already exhausted. She swept a glance at Li Xingying and said: "What are you standing there foolishly for? Don't you see that your master is sweating profusely? Go fetch water!"
Hearing this, Li Yingying's face turned red. She didn't know if it was from embarrassment or anger. She bit her lower lip and bowed respectfully, saying: "Lowly concubine Li shi, will leave." Finishing, she turned and left, covering her face.
"What kind of attitude is that — — aiyo," Chun guipin covered her red chin and said angrily, "She dared to act pretentious in front of us with just a small promise. She really thinks she's something."
Liang guipin couldn't be bothered to care if Li Yingying had offended her. She was still concerned about today's matter and said: "Chun jiejie, we don't have time to care about other people. Don't you feel that today's matter isn't right?"
Chun guipin rolled her eyes at her and muttered: "You just found out. I found that everything was wrong a long time ago. Lady Wen Yu suddenly recovered from her illness and went crazy to bite people. She really thinks she's the Empress. Just wait. Today, His Majesty encountered her. Tomorrow, she definitely won't be able to bear the consequences!
And Consort Yan as well. In the past, she didn't care about these messy matters and warned us so seriously. Now, she still got involved. Hypocrite! "
Liang guipin immediately followed up and said: "Jiejie is right. Based on Consort Yan's past actions, she doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to get involved in this kind of trouble. She doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble. But today, every word she said was provoking Ying guipin. Even though her words were strange and seemed to be hinting at something, but Ying guipin is very wary of her."
After Chun guipin applied the ointment, the burning sensation was gradually covered by the coolness of the mint. It was fine if she spoke slowly, "How is Ying guipin wary of her? Look at her little appearance of hiding behind Lady Wen Yu. Just looking at it makes people angry. I don't know how she managed to get along with Lady Wen Yu."
Liang guipin didn't agree with Chun guipin's words. She definitely didn't agree that Ying guipin had sided with Lady Wen Yu. If it was up to her, it was better to think that Lady Wen Yu was doing her best to win Ying guipin over to her side. But what was so unusual about this Ying guipin? She even had Consort Yan put the face of the entire Shuang Bo Palace under her feet to help Lady Wen Yu succeed.
Yes, in Liang guipin's view, it was Consort Yan surrendering to Lady Wen Yu. This sincerity was to help Lady Wen Yu win over Ying guipin without any bottom line. She wasn't surprised by Consort Yan's actions. After all, in this field of fame and fortune, who didn't want to be above others? Rather than bowing every day to everyone she saw until her back was sore, she would rather stand with her back straight until the soles of her feet hurt and have others bow to her.
Liang guipin was even slightly happy because Bai Suyan and Ning guipin were clearly much better than Chun guipin. Even though she had liked Chun guipin for being easy to trick and control, but in terms of favoritism, she couldn't compare to Bai Suyan. Her intelligence couldn't compare to Ning guipin.
Also, she was helping Chun guipin. Most likely, she was helping Chun guipin deal with the aftermath. After a long time, Liang guipin had enough of giving without receiving anything in return.
