Chunman Palace

Chapter 44 Disintegration
She underestimates Concubine Min too much, and thinks too highly of herself. Last night, Concubine Min was afraid only by taking advantage of Concubine Chang's position and family power, but now Concubine Min let her know clearly that she is not as concubine Chang at all. His strength is not worthy of arguing with Concubine Min.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are like fishing for moons in water, which will only make people laugh.

When she was slapped just now, she couldn't think of any way to justify it. Even if those tricks were used, she still couldn't escape Concubine Mineral's tough punishment.

Lingqiao looked at the heartache, trembled and said: "Master, don't be too sad, the wind is blowing in the autumn, I'm afraid it will leave the root of the disease, the servant will go back and help you roll it with an egg, and your face will not be swollen."

Lin Qingyu closed her eyes and was speechless.

The news that someone on the long street was being punished by Concubine Min quickly spread, and when Shu Xiang told the queen about it, Lin Qingyu had already knelt for an hour.

The queen sat on the red rosewood chair, carefully selected dried lilies, and asked slowly, "Why does Concubine Min punish Lin Changzai like this?"

"I heard that it was Lin Chang who made rude remarks and offended Concubine Min, but the servant girl didn't believe it." Shu Xiang replied.

"Lin Changzai has always followed the rules, so why did he violate the rules? It's probably because Concubine Min's stomach is too small." The Queen thought for a moment before saying: "Forget it, I don't want to give Concubine Min face, and I will let Chang Lin in another hour." Let's go back to the palace."

"Yes, but should we tell the emperor about this?"

The queen looked at the back room under the yellow tent, shook her head lightly, and said, "The emperor has just dealt with the matter Mu promised, and now he is taking a nap, and will deal with political affairs later, so don't bother the emperor with such trivial matters."

At the same time, in Fujingxuan, Chang Xiuru and Mu Pingting sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

"Qingyu really said that? Why did she agree to help Mu? It's not good for her." Mu Pingting's words were full of doubts.

"If my sister doesn't believe it, you can ask Shuang'er what Qingyu told the Queen Mother last night." Chang Xiuru said helplessly, winking at Shuang'er.

Shuang'er stepped forward and said: "What our little lord said is absolutely true, if Lin Chang hadn't said that Mu promised to be the emperor's concubine, the matter should be eased and waited for the emperor to deal with it, how could the imperial doctor diagnose the happy pulse? How about An Rang living in the palace unharmed?"

"Yes, sister, the emperor is very important to the emperor's heir. Now that Mu promises to conceive, he will not be punished. He will just confine his feet in the palace to raise the baby. The Ji concubine and other officials have to relax and investigate again. If Mu promises to be taken away from the beginning The court is strictly investigating, are the lowly maid and the child in her belly still alive?" Chang Xiuru said with resentment.

Mu Pingting said calmly: "The emperor regards the emperor's heir as the most important thing, and he did not say that he would not punish Mu Xu, and asked people to check carefully again to prove whether what Mu Xu did was true. Once the fetus is born, things will work out.”

Chang Xiuru was still persuasive and said: "But sister, Qingyu's behavior is really strange. Mu promised to poison Ji concubine and then set up a cat to hurt sister. Such a cruel person, his son can't stay, my sister boldly guessed, Maybe Qingyu and Mu promised to collude secretly." She dug out the loopholes in it, trying to make Mu Pingting suspicious of Lin Qingyu, so as to create a barrier.

Instead of agreeing, Mu Pingting asked Huayue to go to Yaohua Pavilion to ask if Lin Qingyu had done it.

Seeing that the plan failed, Chang Xiuru felt a little annoyed.

How could that lowly person gain Sister Mu's trust so much? !
At this moment, a court lady came in in a panic and said, "My lord, I heard that Concubine Min slapped Lin Changzai on the long street and forced her to kneel for four hours."

Mu Pingting got up anxiously: "There is such a thing? Does the Empress know?"

"Some palace people have already gone to Fengyi Palace to report to the empress." The maid replied timidly.

Chang Xiuru smiled lightly indifferently, and said relievedly: "Sister, I don't think you need to look at it anymore, the empress knows that Concubine Min is pampered, this time is just to express her grievances, if you don't ask for mercy, it won't be long before you stop talking Those who have been punished by Qing Yu's kneeling, if they go, they may not only increase the punishment, but also spread the disaster to themselves."

"But Qingyu is our younger sister, so I can't just sit back and ignore her when something happens, can I?! I have to go and have a look." Saying that, Mu Pingting was about to leave, and ordered Huayue to bring active medicinal wine and face mask. paste.

Chang Xiuru didn't want any more contact between the two, so she immediately reminded Mu Pingting of what happened after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"Sister, don't forget, after the mid-autumn night banquet, my sister helped her to block the attack of wild cats. Your arm was infected by filth, causing you to be comatose for many days with a high fever, and the wound was red, swollen and pus-feeding, and it took a long time to heal! Thanks to Li Taiyi's medical skills, clear and good wounds , Only then did he heal, but this scar will inevitably come down, my sister does this for her, but has she ever come to see my sister?!"

The words she said were eloquent, and the implication was that she didn't want Mu Pingting to suffer any more, and then went to help Lin Qingyu, a person who didn't want to repay her kindness. She felt that she had to thank Concubine Min for delaying Lin Qingyu on the way, which gave her enough time Speak ill of Lin Qingyu.

When Mu Pingting heard people say this, she did look down at the scar on her arm with some concern, but she still said: "You can't say that, Qing Yu was also injured on the head that day, and the imperial doctor said that it is not appropriate to move around. That's what you told me, didn't you?"

Damn it, why did I bother to help Lin Qingyu say those things, now I really regret it.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade others, Chang Xiuru's eyes flashed, and she made another plan: "Sister, don't go, even if you go now, you can't give Qingyu medicine immediately, right? Why don't I ask Shuang'er to take our sisters with me?" The two of you want to intercede in the empress's palace, and then send these things to Yaohua Pavilion together, how about it?"

Shuang'er immediately said: "Yes, Mrs. Jin, the wind is strong in autumn, and your wound cannot be exposed to the wind. Let the servants do these things for you."

Seeing this, Mu Pingting stopped talking.

Huayue handed over the prepared bottles of medicine to someone: "Then take these medicines with you."

Chang Xiuru coughed, and then instructed: "Sister Qingyu is now a resident, and everything in the palace is no better than my sister and me. You have to hand over these medicines to Lin Changzai, and tell the palace well. Do you understand Sister Hemu's intentions?"

Shuang'er lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, but the corners of her mouth curled up with a trace of malice: "You can rest assured, my servant, I will tell you the truth."

On Changjie Road, Shuxiang came here at his command.

Seeing Lin Qingyu kneeling on the ground from a distance, she has long lost her dazzling, meek and pleasant appearance, but is so downcast, she can't help but step forward and say in a soft voice:
"Lin Changzai, the empress knows that this matter has nothing to do with you, you are really suffering, go back to the palace quickly."

The people on the ground said feebly: "Concubine...thank you, Empress Dowager." Then his figure flickered, he gritted his teeth with some difficulty, and was supported by Mo'er and Lingqiao, and finally stood up reluctantly.

Bleeding scabs had already formed on both cheeks, and the pain was still there, but it was a little numb from the autumn wind, like a hardened cold stone.

She walked on the palace road with difficulty, step by step.
