Queen is fearless

Chapter 24
"Your Majesty, it's already evening, should we let Concubine Jiang go back?"

In Xianfu Palace, Qiuyue glanced at Concubine Jiang who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a low voice.

"What's the rush? It's just kneeling for a few hours, and no one can die. Don't the Jiang family like to sue, so go on suing?" Concubine Lin leaned on the soft couch and looked at her nails.

"By the way, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? I've almost run out of Yangrong Pills. It's time to reconfigure them."

Looking up at Qiuyue, Concubine Lin asked, just now she ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor, and it is estimated that it should be here by now.

"Slaves, go and have a look." Qiuyue blessed Fushen and retreated to the outside of the hall. When she passed by Jiang Guibi, she took a worried look.

Concubine Jiang Gui kept kneeling on the ground. Although it was hot today, the ground was always cold, and it was inevitable that she would feel uncomfortable after kneeling for a long time.

At this moment, her face was a little pale, and her knees hurt badly, but she didn't say a word, and still insisted.

"You are a tough guy." Concubine Lin looked at her, looked at her, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Concubine Jiang Gui raised her eyes and stared fixedly at Concubine Lin, "Your Majesty is proud now. I have heard a saying called '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi'."

"Nowadays, concubines are not as good as human beings. It's okay to kneel, but who knows, one day, the person who kneels will not become a concubine?"

"You still dare to speak hard?" Jiang Guipin's words made Concubine Lin's anger rise again, she got up from the soft couch, walked in front of Jiang Guipin with a few steps, and raised her hand to slap her twice.

She had just trimmed her nails before, and they were still a bit sharp. Bloodstains suddenly appeared on Jiang Guibi's face, which was in hot pain.

She didn't expect to get a wound on her face, Concubine Lin couldn't help being taken aback, then laughed out loud, "You deserve it!"

Zhou Jing took Yuanbao and stood outside the hall. He saw everything in the hall very clearly.

Qiuyue kneeled on the ground with the imperial physician, she quietly raised her head, glanced into the hall, wanted to speak out, but dared not.

Except for her, the rest of the palace people also knelt down, no one expected that the emperor would come.

I didn't even expect to catch up with such a scene.

"Emperor Physician Lian, why did you come to Xianfu Palace?" His eyes were still on the palace, and the emperor's voice could not be heard.

Even the imperial physician was stunned and dared not hide anything, "Going back to the emperor, the purpose of coming to Xianfu Palace is to dispense medicine for Concubine Lin."

"What kind of medicine?" Looking at Concubine Lin's appearance, she didn't seem to be sick. In order to maintain her beauty, the concubines in the harem often asked the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital to prepare some nourishing medicines. The emperor knew about it.

"Yes...it's Yangrong Pills. Concubine Lin has been taking the Yangrong Pills prepared by Xiaguan. She said she was almost finished, so she brought Xiaguan here."

After only answering a few words, even the imperial physician felt that his back was wet with sweat.

"There is no need for Yangrong Pills. From my point of view, Concubine Lin needs to take some pills to relieve fire and dryness. Go and make some for her."

After giving an order, Zhou Jing raised his feet and walked towards the palace. Even the imperial physician responded quickly, stood up, and walked quickly towards the outside of Xianfu Palace.

As he walked, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Concubine Lin was standing in front of Concubine Jiang, because no one had passed on the news, so she didn't know that everything just now was seen by the emperor.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head subconsciously, and seeing the emperor, she was startled, and the smile on her face became a bit far-fetched, "I greet the emperor, the emperor is here, why don't you tell me?"

As she said that, she looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw that the palace people were all kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help feeling a little upset.

I don't know, how much did the emperor see just now?
Although she is a second-rank concubine and Jiang Guifei is only a fourth-rank concubine, she is a concubine conferred by the emperor himself, so she is not incapable of beating her, but it is best not to be discovered by others, especially the emperor.

"I heard that Concubine Lin is not feeling well, so I invited the imperial physician, so I wanted to take a look." Before Concubine Lin got up, Zhou Jing glanced at Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang Gui was still kneeling on the ground, her cheeks were flushed, and there was blood on one side.

Probably because she had been kneeling for a long time, her body was shaking slightly at this moment, as if she might fall down at any time.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is indeed feeling a little uncomfortable..." Standing up, Concubine Lin stretched out her hand to rest her forehead, and fell on Zhou Jing with a weak appearance.

"In my opinion, Concubine Lin is in good spirits, otherwise, where would she have the strength to hit someone?" Concubine Lin, who was about to lean on him, staggered to the side and almost fell to the ground.

She looked at the emperor in astonishment, but she didn't expect the emperor to avoid him. She became more and more anxious, thinking about how to explain it.

"Your Majesty, it was my concubine's fault for beating up Concubine Jiang Gui, but she was also at fault. Not only did she commit the following crimes, but she also broke the hairpin that the emperor gave to my concubine."

Pointing at Concubine Jiang, Concubine Lin's face was full of anger, "That was given to my concubine by the emperor. Concubine likes that hairpin the most. Concubine Jiang was jealous of my concubine, so she deliberately broke the hairpin!"

"Concubine Lin, if you really liked that hairpin, you wouldn't throw it on the ground in front of my concubine."

Concubine Jiang Gui raised her head and looked at Concubine Lin with a sarcasm on her face. If she hadn't cared about the presence of the emperor, Concubine Lin would have liked to go up and slap her a few more times.

Zhou Jing stretched out his hand, helped Jiang Guipin who was kneeling on the ground, and placed him on a chair beside him.

Because of kneeling for too long, Jiang Guipin's knees were already numb, and they hurt so much when touched.

Concubine Lin watched the emperor help Concubine Jiang, and was anxious in her heart. She felt that no matter what she said, the emperor would not believe it.

"Yuanbao, send Concubine Jiang back to Zhaochun Palace yourself, and then send someone to find an imperial physician so that Concubine Jiang can take a good look at her."

After ordering, when Yuan Bao brought someone to take Jiang Guifei away, Zhou Jing then turned his attention to Concubine Lin again.

"You are in the position of concubine, but you are so narrow and jealous. I should have demoted you, but I am in your mother's house, and I have served you for many years. This time, I will punish you lightly, and you will stay in the house." In Xianfu Palace, reflect on yourself, you are not allowed to enter or leave without my will."

The emperor's words made Concubine Lin feel relieved, no matter what, it is better to be banned than to be demoted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely reflect on myself." Kneeling quickly on the ground, Concubine Lin's eyes were red, she stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Jing's robe, and slowed down her voice.

"Please don't let the emperor get angry because of the concubine." In the past, as long as she slowed down, the emperor would always give her some face, but this time...

Zhou Jing pulled the robe out of her hands, "You can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her feet and left. Concubine Lin knelt on the ground, staring blankly at his back, and it took her a long time to recover.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that she had been tricked.

Standing up, Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and ordered, "Qiuyue, go and find out, who told the emperor about my appointment as an imperial physician!"
