Queen is fearless

Chapter 274
"Pearl, repeat what you said just now..." Concubine Dong stood up, the expression on her face was as shocked as Pearl's.

"Your Majesty...the Empress not only beat Wen Jieyu, but also demoted her from Xiuyuan to Jieyu, and confined her in Zhongcui Palace."

He repeated the news he had received, and at this moment, Pearl came back to his senses.

Unexpectedly, the empress is so... so ruthless, she has never heard of any empress who personally beat up a concubine!
"My servant also heard that Wen Jieyu was beaten badly..." She didn't see Wen Jieyu's appearance, but she heard that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.

"There is still such a thing... Where is the emperor? What is the reaction from the emperor?"

As the lord of the six palaces, the empress does have the right to punish concubines in the harem, but beating concubines... I'm afraid... there is no precedent for it!

After this incident, she really...has become more and more impressed with the Queen.

"Concubine Dong, now, do you believe what the servant said?" Qingluan smiled and said, she was also shocked in her heart.

Knowing that the master went to find Zhong Cuigong's troubles, it didn't even occur to the master to do it himself.

He can beat Wen Jieyu until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and he doesn't know whether the master's hand is injured or not, does it hurt?

As someone close to Gu Jinzhi, Qingluan only cared about her own master, and she didn't care about others.

"Ben Gong believed it, and if the empress is so angry, then the Wen family must have touched the empress's bottom line."

It is indeed too vicious to attack a child, and it is no wonder that the queen is angry.

If it were me, the child was hurt and almost died, I'm afraid... she would be the same as the queen.

It's a pity that she will never have a child of her own in this life.

Thinking of this, Concubine Dong felt a bit of admiration for the queen in her heart.

The Wen family was vicious, and attacked the young emperor's heir, and framed her as the blame.

From the queen's entry into the palace to her being grounded, during this period, there was an open and secret fight between her and the queen.

Now that she has been lifted from the confinement and stays in the harem, there is no guarantee what will happen in the future. With the help of Wen's framing, the queen can completely get rid of herself.

But she didn't, she sent someone to inform herself of Wen's plot, and then rushed to Zhongcui Palace by herself, and punished Wen's severely.

Probably, she never thought about using her own hands to fight Wen's.

Gu Jinzhi would never have thought that asking Qingluan to say a few words, and then going to beat up Wen Shi himself, would actually make Concubine Dong admire her.

Concubine Dong would not have imagined that the queen had always been very clear that she was released because she really wanted to use her hand to fight Wen Shi and let the two bite each other.

It's just that I didn't expect that Wen's would attack the children in order to deal with Concubine Dong. Gu Jinzhi couldn't bear it, so he decided to do it himself.

"The words have been brought, and the maidservant will leave." Seeing Concubine Dong's unpredictable expression, Qingluan blessed her body and prepared to leave.

"Help me, thank you empress for your insight." Concubine Dong looked at her and ordered.

"Yes, please don't worry Concubine Dong, this servant has something else I want to give to Concubine Dong."

Once again, regardless of whether Concubine Dong agrees or not, Qingluan continued, "As a concubine of the second rank, your status in this palace is not considered low. Instead of fighting with the empress, it is better to fight with the empress." Do your part."

"In this way, it will be beneficial to both you and the Dong family, and the servants will retire."

After speaking, Qingluan stood up and retreated outside the main hall.

Concubine Dong stood there, looking at Qingluan's leaving figure, complexities flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Pearl's voice came, full of worry.

"I'm fine, but my heart is a little complicated. In the past, with Mrs. Lin around, I fought with her from the prince's mansion to the palace. She won the power to assist the sixth palace, but in the end, she lost her life."

"Although I'm still here, I don't know whether it's the emperor's favor, the power in my hands, or my children. But I don't know if I'm still alive. Is it luck or misfortune?"

With a wry smile, Concubine Dong sat down again, "The empress is far more difficult than imagined, if I continue to be an enemy of her, I really don't know what will happen."

"Your Majesty, I feel that it is better to be alive than to be dead. As long as you are alive, you have hope for everything, but if you die, you will lose everything."

"When you were grounded in the past, the slave once thought that if you risk your life, you have to vent your anger for you, but now, the slave only hopes that you will be well, and that the slave can always be by your side."

Pearl knelt down and spoke her heart to Concubine Dong, "The tourmaline is gone, she must hope that what she sacrificed her life for is your peace and happiness, not your own life to avenge her. "

"You're right, get up." After listening to her, Concubine Dong was silent for a moment, and waved at her.

Standing up, Pearl came to Concubine Dong's side. Concubine Dong reached out and held her hand, "Right now, both master and servant must live well."

"Yes, empress." Pearl replied, her eyes were a little red, she looked towards the entrance of the hall, where Tourmaline seemed very relieved, waving at her, just like in a dream...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Director Yuan is here." Outside the main hall, the voice of the palace man's reply came, and Gu Jinzhi responded, ordering people to invite Yuan Bao in.

"My servant greets my empress. The emperor is thinking about you and your highnesses, but the emperor really cannot do without border affairs, so I ordered my servant to come over and ask my empress if there is anything I need to order. This servant will do it."

Entering the hall, Yuan Bao saluted Gu Jinzhi, explaining his intention.

"What should be ordered, I have already given the instructions, please go back and tell the emperor, I just went to Zhongcui Palace and beat Wen Shi, and besides that, I will demote her to Jieyu , have already sent people to the palace to save.”

He waved his hand to signal Yuan Bao to get up, Gu Jinzhi's words startled Yuan Bao.

"Your Majesty, you...you hit Wen Xiu...won't you, Wen Jieyu?" It seems that the empress has some evidence, which is why Wen's status has been demoted.

If it was really her, let alone Jieyu who was demoted, even if she was dealt with, the emperor would not say anything.

"Yes, I beat her, and she was seriously injured. Go find an imperial doctor and show Wen Shi, so that she won't say that I went too far."

Thinking of something, Gu Jinzhi gave an order, and she grounded the Wen family, without her order, no one could come in or out there.

"Here, I caught a palace man from Zhong Cui Palace. There was a poison sac hidden in his teeth. I ordered someone to take it out."

"After Chief Yuan reports back to the emperor, I hope that you will interrogate that palace servant in person, and make sure she tells the truth."

As the chief executive, Yuan Bao has many tricks. If he is asked to interrogate, one is to gag other people's mouths, and the other is to pry out more information...
