Chapter 317
The queen shouted in a shrill voice, "Why did Lin Rongyan go back to the palace!"

The piercing sound startled the new dressing maid, she shook her hand and accidentally pulled a strand of the queen's hair.

The queen gasped in pain, "Hiss!"

The little servant girl was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Empress Empress, calm down, Empress Empress, calm down!"

The queen was in a fit of anger, she would not let this sloppy maid go, she scolded loudly, "Idiot, you hurt me! Where did you come from as a court lady, what's the use of being careless."

She was still angry, and stretched out her hand to pinch the servant girl's arm fiercely, "To make you stupid, to make you stupid, how can a lowly servant girl like you pull my hair?"

She had asked Mammy for advice, and she knew where to pinch was the most painful, so at this moment, she worked hard.

The Queen's hand was hard, and the servant girl was pinched and cried bitterly, "Empress Empress, I know I was wrong, let me go."

The crying made the empress upset, so she said, "Come here, pull this lowly servant girl down and punish her severely!"

This punishment is not a simple punishment of kneeling in the palace. In the middle palace, this punishment has a different meaning.

It represents stick punishment, twenty sticks for small mistakes, fifty sticks for big mistakes, and for serious mistakes, the queen will personally decide how to punish.

When she came to the Central Palace to work as an errand, the little maid had already heard about this unwritten rule, but she didn't expect that one day this rule would fall on her head!
The maid looked terrified, "No, I know I was wrong, don't—"

Before she finished speaking, the eunuch who rushed over covered her mouth and dragged her down.

A court lady who spends her whole day doing dressing, if she goes down with twenty sticks, she is either half disabled or half dead.

In the middle palace, the other court ladies were silent, and no one dared to offend the queen at this time.

Suddenly, there was a deathly silence in the palace.

The queen looked at the quail-like maids, and felt a sense of anger in her heart. She waved her hands in disgust, "Go down, you eyesores!"

One by one, they just keep their heads down, and there is no one who can think of a way.

When the maids left, only the queen and her personal maids were left in the room.

The queen asked, "Is Lin Rongyan crazy? Why didn't she guard her imperial tomb, why did she go back to the palace?"

The maid replied, "Going back to your mother, I don't know why Mrs. Lin returned to the palace for the time being. The people below came to report that they heard Mrs. Lin screaming at night, but they couldn't make out what they were yelling."

"Screaming?" The queen was surprised, "What's there to scream about? Could it be that you've hit a ghost?"

The maid shook her head, "I don't know, I just know that in order to return to the palace, Mrs. Lin did not hesitate to use the imperial order bestowed by the emperor."

The queen was even more surprised, "Used all the imperial orders? What made Lin Rongyan, a bitch, have to go back to Beijing?"

The more the Queen thought about it, the more something was wrong, her eyelids twitched, and she felt more and more that there must be some big secret behind it.

"No, something is wrong." A cold light flashed in the Queen's eyes, "Have all Lin Rongyan's maids been taken away, and are there any left in the palace?"

"Yes." The maid said, "Mr. Lin only brought three usual maids and one nun, and the others stayed in the palace."

"Okay, you go and grab one, the one who usually has a lot of contact with Lin Rongyan!"

The queen said harshly, showing her old age on her sarcastic face.

At the same age of nearly 40 years old, the noble concubine without makeup still has firm skin and lively eyes, while the queen without makeup is like an old woman.

In order to secure her position as queen, she had to work day and night, lighting oil lamps to add chips to her mother's family, just to make her mother's Huo family more magnificent. Let the Huo family's daughter become the queen.

For the Huo family, she devoted almost all her youth.

At dusk, the dark room under the central palace was opened, and the maid came out with a bloody smell.

"Your Majesty, there is news. This is the confession of that servant girl. Please read it, Your Majesty."

The queen had a special ointment on her hand, so she didn't bother to look through it, "You think it is."

"In the past few months, Lin has no other abnormalities, but he often has nightmares. What he said in his sleep is not her, and it is not her. Even the sedative incense prepared by the imperial doctor is useless, and, half a month ago, When Mrs. Lin met Lin's mother, she didn't know what they talked about."

"Mother Lin?" The queen said softly, "Mother Lin is not easy to deal with. Forget it, did that slave give any other details about the nightmare?"

The maid turned over the confession, "Yes, according to what the servant girl said, Mrs. Lin may have killed someone. Once she heard Mrs. Lin and Jin Yu say that she saw a female ghost in a blue dress, Mrs. Lin still muttered, saying no. I did it myself."

A female ghost in blue clothes?
The queen's eyes were shaken, and something suddenly occurred to her mind, and her face turned pale.

It's that bitch again!

A flash of panic flashed in the queen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

"Okay! Lin Rongyan still doesn't give up. I should have pushed the bitch's death onto her back then. In this way, there will be no worries. Sure enough, I am still too soft-hearted!"

The queen is too late to regret, the life in her hands is not inferior to that of Lin Rongyan, since Lin Rongyan is ignorant, then don't blame her for being cruel!

The queen grabbed the confession from the maid's hand and tore it into pieces, as if the confession was Lin Rongyan herself.

"Go and send a message to the shadow guards, let them kill Lin Rongyan for me, be sure to hold her head to see me, remember, no matter what the cost!"

The queen roared, her sharp teeth were like the fangs of a wild beast.

A person with a heart full of hatred can easily become a beast. I wonder if anyone still remembers Huo Lianjun when he first entered the Prince's Mansion.

At that time, she was the prince's side concubine, sitting on an equal footing with Lin Rongyan, and there was only one sick concubine above her.

It seems to have started from the day when her husband sat on the throne, it seems to have started from the day when her husband decreed that whoever becomes the prince will be the queen.

After that day, her hands were not clean and covered with blood.

It's the same now, no one can stop her way, Lin Rongyan deserves to die!
I don't know if I had a premonition, the imperial concubine who was far away on the way back to Beijing shivered.

Jin Yu asked, "Ma'am, is it cold?"

As she said that, Jin Yu put the big cloak on her hand on the imperial concubine.

"I'm fine." The imperial concubine said, "Jinyu, it's great to have you by my side."

I don't know when, the proud imperial concubine put down her figure and called herself "I" in front of a servant girl.

Jin Yu smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will always be with you."

What a simple sentence, I don't know if the imperial concubine remembered the day when Jin Yu's head was separated.

……

In the General's Mansion, Murong Qing sneezed suddenly while looking at the travel notes.

Pei Mo was startled, "Why don't you wear more clothes?"

Murong Qing shook his head, "I'm not cold, I just wonder if there are enough people."
