The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 40 Intrigue 4
"Zhu Guiji, you are so brave! How dare you criticize the Queen behind her back!" Lu Yi couldn't help shouting angrily any longer!
The Queen is such a good person, but they really bully others too much. Concubine Shu and Mrs. An are just that, so why should Zhu Guiji?
If this continues, wouldn't someone be willing to shit on the Queen's head?
This is not the first time Zhu Guiji has said these words. There are many people like her in the harem, and it is human nature to follow others' influence.

Just like the talented maids around her, didn't they have no objections?That's what they thought in their hearts.Zhu Guiji dared to say it openly because she believed from the bottom of her heart that the queen could not defeat Mrs. An.

Zhu Guiji was obviously frightened by Lu Yi. After panicking, she saw that she was just a palace maid and gave her a contemptuous look.

Instead of fear and awe, she became even more arrogant, "Master, when will it be your turn as a slave to intervene in the master's affairs? There are really no rules at all. She is a concubine after all, and even the people around her are not allowed to take the stage!"

Lu Yi's face turned green because of her anger. She pointed at Zhu Guiji's nose and said angrily, "You are even worse! You are following Mrs. An like a pug. I'm afraid you are not as good as me, a palace maid! At least mine My waist is straight, but I’m not as spineless as you! If I were you, I’d be too shameless to see anyone!”

"You are just a little concubine, but you dare to talk about the Queen behind her back. Just wait, the Queen will never let you off lightly!"

Lu Yi said, turning around and running to Yong'an Palace. She must tell the empress and let him punish these people.

"Queen? That hen that can't lay eggs? What can she do to me?"

Zhu Guiji could bend down and be spineless to please a strong person like Mrs. An, but she would never allow a lowly person like Lu Yi to step on her head.

The strong bullies the weak, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this is Zhu Guiji's temperament.

"Come on, catch her! If the queen doesn't teach her the rules, I will!"

Seeing the hesitation of the palace people behind her, Zhu Guiji cursed fiercely, "What? Master, you don't listen to me anymore? Is it because my discipline on you is not strict enough on weekdays?"

The palace people thought of her daily behavior. Zhu Guiji was not a kind master. She would beat them severely with a whip if anything did not go her way, or she could not stand it at all. Zhu Guiji even had a set of torture instruments herself.

When it comes to the most difficult place in the harem to be on duty, that is Zhu Guiji's palace.

The beatings and scoldings of other masters were nothing to her.

The palace people looked at each other and rushed to catch Lu Yi. After almost two or three blows, they pushed Lu Yi to the ground.

Naturally, Lu Yi would not let him go without any help. He struggled desperately and spoke rudely.

"You pug, don't you dare touch me!"

Zhu Guiji kicked Lu Yi, and Lu Yi groaned in pain.

As a woman, she naturally knows that the parts of a woman's body are the most vulnerable. Zhu Guiji specifically picked out the vulnerable and painful places to kick.

"Just give it a try. You are a servant and I am the master. It is only natural for a master to teach a servant a lesson! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will smash your mouth!"

Thinking of Lu Yi's identity, Zhu Guiji still tolerated her temper a little. If it were someone else, she would still have the life to scream here.

"Poisonous woman! When we get to Yong'an Palace, I will repay you twice as much!"

"Let me go! Why are you holding me captive?"

"You must be tough, throw her into the pool! Wash her head well and let her understand the current situation!"

Being so insulted by a servant in front of so many people, Zhu Guiji felt her face burning.

Ever since Lu Yi followed the queen, everyone greeted her with smiles. Even though she sometimes spoke bluntly and made them uncomfortable, she still had to give the queen a bit of a thumbs-down.

No one has ever laid a finger on her, not even the emperor!
But now, she was thrown into the pool. The water was not very deep, but in the early morning, even in summer, she was shivering with cold. She struggled to stand up, but the person next to her grabbed her hair and pushed her down.

The cold water rushed into his eyes, nose, ears, and throat. He was choked and speechless, and painful tears filled his eyes.

Zhu Guiji stood on the shore, admiring her embarrassed appearance.

"Aren't you very eloquent? Keep scolding? So what if that waste Queen comes? You little slave, I'll move my fingers and you'll be gone!" Lu Yi tried hard to break away and breathe air. But all the little strength was crushed.

Water poured into his chest, like cold needles pricking his internal organs.

The time became extremely long, every minute and every second was a life and death struggle, and the torture was unbearable.

Vaguely, Zhu Guiji's voice came to my ears.

She said, "Okay, give her a breath and let her see if her master can make the decision for her?"

Lu Yi is pale, like a dead person.Her head drooped weakly, and the bright pearl flower had already fallen to nowhere. Her hair was messy and stained with mud and grass, and her whole body was soaked.

Zhu Guiji was not afraid at all, and took people to Yong'an Palace. Lu Yi was dying, already unconscious, and was being dragged.

Zhe Sang sat in a high position and watched the concubines paying their respects one by one.

Finally, he looked at the empty spaces and asked with some confusion, "Why didn't Zhu Guiji come today?"

Although Zhu Guiji often came late, she was respectful and came to say hello every day.

"How dare my sister not come?"

Zhu Guiji's voice came in first, and the group came in a menacing manner.

"My sister is already dissatisfied with me. How dare I not come? If I don't come, I'm afraid my sister doesn't know how to punish me!"

A smell of gunpowder filled the hall, and everyone looked sideways.

I saw Zhu Guiji's face was worried, and she was dragging a palace maid behind her. The palace maid was extremely dirty, her hair and clothes were soaked, mud and grass were stuck to her body, her clothes had long been torn from the friction along the way, and her exposed flesh oozed Come blood.

Her head was hanging down, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Her hair obscured her face. For a moment, no one could recognize who had offended Zhu Guiji.

Chongqing's eyelids jumped when he saw the color of the clothes.

"Lu Yi!" She rushed forward!

"Throw it here." Zhu Guiji glanced at the dragging maid.

Lu Yi was thrown in the middle of the palace, like a pile of dead pork, without any movement.

Chongqing brushed her hair away, his expression suddenly changed.

"What's going on? It's so good. What does Gui Ji want to do when she can be tortured like this?"

"Call the imperial doctor!" Zhe Sang said.

Zhe Mulberry's color was ashen, she squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze was like a sharp blade, she stared at Zhu Guiji and said coldly.

"Ji Zhu Gui is so capable! You are not polite when you meet me? Is it because I was too generous and indulged you in the past?"

When Zhu Guiji heard this, she knelt down perfunctorily and her attitude was very casual and provocative.

"Should someone teach you the rules of the harem again?"

"Come here, slap me!" Zhe Sang said angrily.
