Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 231 Apologizing
"Chu side concubine is so arrogant. She hurt me and didn't say anything. Now she still wants to touch me. Have you asked me for my opinion?"

Chu Yu's eyes widened, she didn't expect Xu Ruqing to speak for a maidservant.

One must know that no matter whether she was in the foreign guest mansion or in Gaochang, Chu Yu always walked sideways, and no one dared to say that she taught the slaves by herself.

"Sister Wangfei, you have to believe that my sister didn't do it on purpose. You heard it too. I was serving the prince, so I..."

"You hurt my concubine by serving the lord, can this be a reason to blame you? If so, then I will ask the lord to make it clear whether the rules of the Wei Palace still count."

Xu Ruqing's tone was flat, and there was not even a trace of ups and downs in her voice, but what she said made Chu Yu's back suddenly shudder.

"What can't be discussed between us sisters, why bother to invite the lord to come over such a trivial matter." Chu Yu is not stupid, Su Yichen didn't show up at all on the big day yesterday, and he stayed alone all day without even seeing anyone else Come, let alone have the opportunity to sleep.

If I call him over, wouldn't the words I just said just to show off be exposed? She doesn't want to be slapped in the face in front of other women, especially Xu Ruqing!
"The concubine Chu doesn't want to alarm the prince, but this concubine has so many eyes staring at her, it's impossible for this concubine to let this matter be exposed easily...Then what do you think the concubine Chu should do?"

Chu Yu curled her lips: "Didn't you just get burned lightly, can't I apologize to you?"

"Apologize? Heh, if an apology is useful, what is the use of the rules of the palace?"

Chu Yu's eyes were full of vigilance, this was the first time she felt that this woman was so difficult to deal with. "What do you want?"

Xu Ruqing took the time to look at her injured hand. There were many small blisters where the boiling water rolled over, each one was crystal clear. "This concubine cooks, paints, dresses and eats with small hands, and uses her fangs and claws to take care of the house, but now she is scalded with a cup of tea by Chu side concubine..."

"Zhiqu, you have memorized the rules and regulations of the palace on weekdays, do you know how Chu's side concubine should deal with this situation?"

Zhiqu stepped forward respectfully: "Returning to the princess, according to the family rules of Wei Wangfu, concubines who commit crimes against the main house and below and cause injuries should be punished with a stick for thirty, and copied one hundred of female precepts, and they will be banned for one month as punishment." As a warning."

Xu Ruqing nodded in satisfaction, and looked down at Chu Yu: "Chu side concubine, did you hear that?"

Chu Yu couldn't hide the fear on her face when she heard this, and she suddenly regretted what she did.

She has been afraid of pain since she was a child, even if she made a serious mistake, she would only be said a few words by her parents and queen mother.She has never experienced the responsibility of sticking.

Seeing that Chu Yu was really unable to say a word, Lika took the initiative to speak for her: "Princess, although Concubine Chu made mistakes first, she is the prince's newlywed after all. Wouldn't it be too heavy? If the prince sees that the side concubine is injured, it will be difficult for the princess to explain to the prince, right?"

Chu Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I am the new concubine of the prince, and I have been treated like this on the first day of the wedding. Don't say that I am not good when I return home in three days. It’s better to explain to my uncle, but I’m afraid it’s not easy for the prince to explain to the emperor and Gaochang’s envoys, you can’t touch me.”

Xu Ruqing pretended to think: "Well... this is indeed a problem."

Just when Chu Yu thought he had succeeded, Zhiqu came up with another plan: "Chu side concubine is right, but the princess doesn't have to worry about it. The slaves know that there is a punishment in the palace, which can not only teach those who make mistakes, but also make them feel better." There is no trace of injury left on the body, and the pain is lighter than the [-]th board."

"Oh? What kind of punishment is that?"

"Acupuncture."

"Acupuncture!" Chu Yu's eyes widened in fright.

Zhiqu continued: "That's right, the so-called acupuncture is to use extremely thin silver needles to pierce the places where there is no blood. If you pierce seven or seven 49 needles, you will complete your sentence. Since the wound area is small, the recovery is very fast, and it will not be on the body. Leaving scars, so Concubine Chu can rest assured that you will not fail to explain to the envoy."

Chu Yu looked at Lika as if asking for help, but Lika said that there was nothing she could do.

It seems that what Ouyang Bihua said is correct, Xu Ruqing only looks harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact he is very scheming and vicious, and this time she may not be able to avoid it.

"This concubine knows that Concubine Chu was a high-ranking princess before marrying into the Wei Palace, but since she came to the Wei Palace, she should go to the countryside and follow the rules here. It doesn't matter if you hurt my concubine, but as a princess, I have to follow the rules. Otherwise, those servants should say that this concubine has abused her power to cover her own interests." Xu Ruqing did a good job of tricks, and really made others feel that she had to lead by example because she was hindered by her power.

"Come here, take Concubine Chu down to receive twenty needles and one hundred fines for copying the women's rings. I don't need to be grounded soon after the wedding. After the punishment is over, I will hand in the women's rings for my review."

"Yes."

Two guards in green clothes walked in outside the door, one on the left and the other on the right grabbed Chu Yu.

Chu Yu threw it away: "Don't touch me, I can go by myself!"

Even though she was dissatisfied, she knew that she was wrong and did not dare to resist. She gave Xu Ruqing a vicious look and then left angrily.

"Princess, that side concubine Chu is really arrogant, how could you let her go so easily?"

"It's just a clown. This punishment is too much for her. We don't have to do it too hard. Enough is enough."

Zhiqu carefully took Xu Ruqing's hand, with a look of distress in his eyes: "No matter how cruel you are, you can't compare to her. She just received [-] needles, and she can rest for two days at most. Your hand is not so cruel. She was scalded by boiling water because she did it on purpose, look at the skin has been scalded off, what should I do if I get a scar in the future."

"There is medicine for scalds in the medicine box. I will use it when I go back to my bedroom. Don't worry, I will restore it to its original state."

"But then again, the fact that the prince did not attend the wedding yesterday caused the emperor to lose face in front of the Gaochang envoys. This matter was advocated by the princess from the beginning, but at that time, you also disappeared... Those palace people are now It is rumored that you are the concubine who seduced the emperor and the lord, and that the lord left Concubine Chu because he stumbled on you."

Xu Ruqing was puzzled: "So what?"

"Didn't Concubine Chu just say that three days later will be the day when she returns home to visit relatives. At that time, the prince and concubine will go to accompany her. The emperor and the envoys at the foreign guest's house must be there. The slaves are worried that Chu Yu will take the opportunity to sue. At that time, those People are using this matter to make things difficult for you, princess. You must be careful when dealing with it, princess."

Xu Ruqing smiled lightly: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil,"
