Seeing Qu Miao's expression, Qin Xishi knew that she had believed it all.

She wanted to smile bitterly - this person had impure and restless thoughts, and she had just entered the middle palace. She didn't want the sixth palace to cause trouble at the beginning, so she had to suppress this person; but if she wanted to suppress this person, she had to As good as Yun Yuwei's reputation.

She always wanted to protect Yun Yuwei, but unfortunately, she always owed Yun Yuwei something.

"What do you want?!" At this time, Qu Miao no longer bowed down in front of Qin Xishi, but directly climbed up from the ground.

Siyuan was still kneeling behind Qu Miao, reaching out to grab the hem of her skirt, shaking her head at her with a miserable face, but Qu Miao shook her away with a cold look on her face, snorted coldly, and looked straight into her eyes. Looking at Qin Xishi.

"Is the imperial concubine going to commit the crime?" Changfang saw Qu Miao's reaction and immediately stood in front of Qin Xishi and spoke with a serious expression.

"Who do you think you are?!" Qu Miao looked at Changfang and sneered, "Master is talking, is it your turn to speak out as a lowly servant?!"

"I thought that the queen came from a wealthy family and had strict rules, but I didn't expect that the people around her would be so unruly." There was a hint of cruelty in Qu Miao's voice, "What if there is such a mean maid in Fengze Palace? , he had been dragged out and beaten to death long ago!"

Qin Xishi didn't expect that Qu Miao would go crazy directly in front of her.

No wonder Bai Su would invite herself to the Buddhist temple to pray for blessings. With Qu Miao's temperament, I'm afraid they would be wronged a lot on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Qin Xishi's face became even more gloomy.

"Changfang," Qin Xishi said lightly, "It's okay, please step back."

Changfang and Jiuxiang looked at each other, and then took half a step back warily.

"Concubine Liang," Qin Xishi said coldly, "Can't you bear it anymore?"

"You are bringing this up now, aren't you just trying to take the opportunity to humiliate me?" Qu Miao continued to sneer. She was panicking, but she still had to maintain her momentum, "Empress, even if you are now the empress of the middle palace, I don’t have the qualifications to really punish me. Even if things went wrong at the beginning, I am still a noble concubine! The Queen is about to take action against me, but she must also weigh the weight of me in His Majesty’s heart!”

Although she seems to have fallen out of favor in recent days, she is still a noble concubine. Even if she was punished before, it was just a grounding and a ban from Ning Zhao. Ning Zhao never even lowered her status. It can be seen that her status as a noble concubine in Ning Zhao's mind is still unique.

"Really?" Qin Xishi saw through Qu Miaose's fierce appearance at a glance, and just smiled softly, "Then I want you to see if I can punish you, and you are in His Majesty's heart. , and how much does it weigh!"

"Come here!" Qin Xishi shouted sternly, "Concubine Liang has committed a crime below. I am kind and can't bear to punish her too harshly. Let her kneel in front of Kunning Palace for three hours."

"We are both His Majesty's concubines, how dare you do this to me!" Qu Miao shouted hoarsely - it's already winter, and although the water won't turn into ice, the wind is still biting. In such a cold weather, I have to kneel outside for three hours. , not to mention losing face, I’m afraid my knees will be ruined too!
"Since the imperial concubine is not satisfied, let's give it five hours." Qin Xishi said lightly.

"you dare!"

"Seven hours."

"Stand down! Who of you dares to touch me!" Qu Miao dared to do it again when she saw Qin Xi, and the people in Kunning Palace didn't care about her status as a noble concubine at all, and actually came up to pull her, even if Going crazy, trying hard to break free.

"Nine hours." Qin Xishi looked calm. "Your Majesty!" Siyuan suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qu Miao's legs, crying, "My Majesty, please stop talking!"

Qu Miao bit her lip hard. She could see that Qin Xishi was determined to give her a blow. If she insisted on resisting, she might really fulfill Qin Xishi's wish, and only the one who would suffer in the end would Can be myself.

She brushed away the maid who was about to pull her away, and said fiercely: "Stop! I will leave on my own!"

"Your Majesty, please." The maid was neither humble nor overbearing.

Qu Miao looked at Qin Xishi fiercely: "Queen, please keep a secret in your life so that we can meet each other in the future. You are a newbie here, how do you know that you will have the last laugh?"

Qin Xishi just smiled at her: "Ten hours, let's round it up."

Qu Miao opened her mouth and almost vomited blood.

She walked out of the hall with a puff of sleeves and knelt down in humiliation under the gaze of everyone.

Si Yuan was about to chase him out, but turned around and knelt down in front of Qin Xishi, kowtowing and said: "The Queen is merciful! The weather is so cold now, and our Queen is so weak, even a strong man can't bear it for ten hours." , not to mention our empress is a weak woman!"

Qin Xishi raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Siyuan?"

"Yes." Siyuan shivered. She had heard of the reputation of General Fuyuan, but she never expected that Qin Xishi, a tiger father with no dog daughter, would act so ruthlessly!
"Didn't your empress just say that?" Qin Xishi said lightly, "The rules in Fengze Palace are strict. If a maid breaks some rules, she will be beaten to death with a stick. She committed such a crime just now, and this palace is just a punishment. She's just kneeling at the palace gate, isn't this palace merciful enough?"

"The Empress is naturally merciful!" Siyuan kowtowed again, "The slaves are humble and no more valuable than the master, so they will be beaten to death! But what if our empress kneels down in the Queen's Kunning Palace? Come on, it’s really damaging to the Queen’s reputation! I hope the Queen will think twice!”

"Today you ladies made mistakes, and I will not be punished because of my virtuous name. If other ladies make mistakes today, I will not be punished because of my virtuous name." Qin Xishi sneered, "It seems that I am just a queen in name only." , these Sixth Palace are really out of your control!”

"Your Fengze Palace has strict rules. From my perspective, this is nothing more than that." Qin Xishi sneered.

"I don't dare!" Si Yuan never expected that she would be slapped with such a big label just because she begged for mercy from her master.

"I see that you are loyal," Qin Xishi said with a serious face, "I allow you to suffer the punishment together with your master."

Siyuan gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything more. She just knelt down and kowtowed, with her knees pointing outwards.

"Jiuxiang," Qin Xishi ordered again, "go to the imperial hospital and ask the imperial doctor on duty to come over. Wait in the side hall and let them watch carefully. Don't let anything happen to the noble concubine!"

"Yes." Jiuxiang took the order and left.

The biting cold wind in winter made Qu Miao unable to open her eyes; even though she was dressed richly and warmly, the biting cold wind quickly blew through her clothes, making her almost unable to support herself in the wind.

"It's only been less than half an hour." Qin Xishi came to her at some point and looked at her condescendingly, "Concubine Liang, I just want to give you a warning about what happened today. I'm here, you'd better be honest and don't make any trouble!"
