The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 338 So that’s it
Jiang Fuhai was quick on his feet and quickly brought Xiao Linzi back to Jingren Palace.

Xiao Linzi looked confused and knelt in front of Ulanara.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed~!"

Ulanara didn't shout, but just asked.

"Xiao Linzi, on your way here, Jiang Fuhai must have told you why I asked you to come here. You should know it in your mind."

Xiao Linzi was not stage-frightened. After his initial confusion, he raised his head and looked at Ulanara, blinking and saying.

"Please forgive me, Queen, I really don't know what I have done wrong! Eunuch Jiang only said that a servant testified that I coerced her.

But on the way here, I racked my brains, but I never thought that I had done such a wicked thing!"

When Qian'er heard this, she immediately looked as if her innocence had been insulted and pointed at Xiao Linzi.

"Eunuch Lin forced this handkerchief upon me, and threatened me to make a willow-leaf-shaped purse and take it away!

How come now that our young master has come forward to ask the Queen to grant me a marriage, you flatly deny it? !

You! You! Where on earth did you put me?"

Xiao Linzi looked at Qian'er with a bewildered look on his face, his eyes clearly revealing deep confusion.

Before he could speak, Qian'er said to Ulanara again.

"Please, Queen, help me! Although I am a bondservant of the lower three banners, I am also a human being!

I have never been insulted like this, but I still don't get an explanation!"

Li Guiren, who had been looking curious all the time, felt that she had figured out the matter and spoke angrily.

"There is such a thing in the harem! The Queen must punish him severely. I am watching this little Linzi.
He seemed to be an honest person in the past, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

Concubine Duan glanced at Li Guiren, and before she had time to worry about her, she was indeed provoked by Nian Shilan's words.

“Lady Li, as the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat a dog, and Xiao Linzi is someone close to me.

I am still here, how can you speak like that?!"

Ulanara said.

"Okay, Concubine Hua. Concubine Li is just upset.

Qian'er, since you said you made a purse for Xiao Linzi,
Where is the purse?"

Concubine Li no longer felt indignant, she shrank her neck and sat back.

Xiao Linzi said weakly.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that I have seen this servant before, but I have never had any thoughts about her!

I serve Empress Hua Fei and I would never be so bold as to have sex with her knowing that it is a capital crime!

The handkerchief she was talking about was indeed the servant's."

Xiao Linzi was interrupted by Qian'er before he could finish his words.

"Listen, Queen, Eunuch Lin himself admitted that the handkerchief was his!"

Nian Shilan said lightly.

"A slave girl is shouting so loudly in the Queen's palace, and Her Majesty is going to sit back and watch?"

Noble Lady Fucha seemed to have recovered. She stood up and bowed to Lady Ulanara.

"Empress, if things are not fair, they will speak out. Qian'er must have been very angry about Xiao Linzi's denial.

She spoke in a panic, asking Her Majesty to understand her feelings as a girl and forgive her for her impoliteness.

Ulanara nodded slightly and turned to Nian Shilan and said.

"Hua Fei, I am just asking for clarification. Are you trying to teach me how to do things by talking like this?"

Nian Shilan sat upright, lowered her eyes, and said.

"How dare I tell the Queen what to do? Noble Lady Fucha also said that when things are unfair, they will speak out.

If a nobleman can speak up for his slaves, then I, a concubine, can naturally say something for my own servants, right?

Since the servant said that she made a purse for Xiao Linzi, where is the purse?
Also, Xiao Linzi was interrupted by her before he could finish his words just now."

Nian Shilan looked at Xiao Linzi.

"Tell me, how come the handkerchief you use to wipe your sweat is in the hands of a servant?"

Xiao Linzi blinked, looked miserable, and glanced at Ulanara secretly, not daring to look at her. Nian Shilan said again.

"Just tell the truth."

Xiao Linzi said.

"Reporting to the queen, I feel ashamed about this matter, and I am concerned about the face of this servant, so I don't want to make it public.

But today, I was on duty when Eunuch Jiang brought me here. As soon as I saw it, I realized that I was being blamed.

"I have no choice but to say it. I have my own difficulties!"

Qian'er's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what Xiao Linzi was going to say, so she spoke loudly in panic.

"You are talking nonsense! When did this servant ever rely on you?"

Nian Shilan threw the handkerchief in her hand and sat up straighter.

"Your Majesty, this is the second time a servant in the palace has been disrespectful."

Ulanara also frowned. Qian'er was too excited.

But today's matter is aimed at Nian Shilan Palace, and I can't miss this opportunity.

Even if it's just to get rid of the most capable eunuch around her, it would be good.

Thinking of this, Ulanara said.

"Qian'er, Concubine Hua is right, you were indeed a bit rude.

But I will spare you the punishment once more because I think you are such a poor victim.”

Qian'er kowtowed hurriedly.

"Please forgive me, Queen! I will never do that again!"

Ulanara said to Xiao Linzi.

"You go on."

Xiao Linzi bowed his head before continuing.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, the matter is as follows. Yesterday, I was on duty and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the order of Her Majesty Hua Fei.

On the way back from my errand, I was stopped by this servant on the long street! I was still wondering, I had no friendship with the Yanxi Palace.
Why are you stopping me? As a result, the servant took out the handkerchief I used to wipe my sweat from my arms.

She said, "Eunuch Lin, lend it to me." I didn't react for a moment, and I got her wrong! She was waiting for me here!
"I, a servant, have to serve the Empress Hua and I have to keep my dignity! Please understand, Empress!"

After Xiao Linzi said this, he was secretly proud in his heart, it's just nonsense, I can do it too!
Nian Shilan sneered.

“I have always claimed that I don’t like worldly constraints, but my rules are still within the worldly realm.

Unexpectedly, this noble lady Fucha, who seemed to be silent, actually had her own ideas.

This servant girl that I have taught is also a person with her own ideas. Fortunately, everyone is here today.

Otherwise, if someone wrongs me, how can I, who is not good at speaking, seek justice?"

Concubine Li looked at him and wanted to say something, but no one knew what she was thinking of, so she shut up silently.

Concubine Li didn't dare to look up at Nian Shilan.

Concubine Shen looked around and spoke.

"Yes, it's a good thing that Xiao Linzi said it today. I didn't pay attention to it normally.

This little Linzi is a man who can think of girls."

Happiness is always there.

"I was just thinking that the eunuch and the palace maid having sex was against the rules.

How could Sister Fucha bring this up in public? So that's how it is."

When Noble Lady Fucha heard Concubine Fu mention her, she became furious.

I don't dare to do anything to Concubine Hua, so is it possible that a concubine who is lower than me wants to bully her?

Noble Lady Fucha looked coldly at Concubine Fu, and seeing that she looked submissive and attentive, Noble Lady Fucha felt that it was very fake and could not help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Hey, who was that? It turns out to be Fu Changzai, who was recently honored as a mother by her son.
Fu Chang was born as a palace maid, but she had no sympathy for Qian'er, who was also a palace maid.

Do you think that just because the emperor has conferred the title of Fu Chang on you, you will really be able to rise to the top overnight?

Fu Changzai entered the palace late. Didn't she know that the title of Concubine Wan was the real title of "Fu"?
You are taking advantage of the fact that your name contains the word "Fu" and you are acting like a spoiled brat. I am not worthy of being the sister of someone like you."
