The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 116: A Miscalculation (3)
Concubine Shu gave her a sideways look, and said with a sneer, "Don't be arrogant, you are just a slave, and you are not qualified to teach me a lesson."

Zheyue couldn't bear Concubine Shu's rudeness for a long time, and said angrily: "You are a little concubine, but you openly speak against the queen, aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and blame you?"

Concubine Shu shook her head lightly, and suddenly unexpectedly slapped Zheyue loudly on the face, her voice suddenly became vicious, "You dog slave, you dare to contradict me, will the emperor punish me? I don’t know, but I can get rid of you first!”

Zheyue was instantly stunned, and everyone present was stunned by Concubine Shu's move.As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. Zheyue is the queen's aunt who serves closely. Who in this palace doesn't give her three points of face?Today, being slapped by Concubine Shu in front of the queen, how can the queen save her face?

"Concubine Shu, don't lose your sense of propriety, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The queen's voice was filled with irrepressible anger.

Concubine Shu laughed loudly, "Why is the empress afraid of the concubine? The concubine is just teaching a lowly servant girl who doesn't know how to behave for the queen. Why is the queen so angry?"

The queen could no longer calm down, and said to the people behind her: "Come here, take Concubine Shu down for me!"

Shocked, Qingchen hurriedly moved aside. Before the eunuchs behind her came forward, Concubine Shu suddenly wanted to force her way into the Queen. Seeing her rudeness, the Queen didn't dare to tear her Hit, but if she was allowed to pass like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing today, and immediately stood firm and pushed her back hard.

At this moment, Qingchen clearly saw a strange smile across the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth, and then her face suddenly changed and she screamed, her whole body suddenly lost her balance, she staggered back two steps, her sleeves flicked, and she fell into the lake with a plop.At the same time, a bright yellow light flashed across Qingchen's eyes, and she clearly saw that what was thrown from Concubine Shu's sleeve was an imperial decree.

It's strange that Concubine Shu dared to ask the queen to avoid it. It turned out that she was relying on the imperial decree.

Qingchen subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab it, but in a panic, she was pushed heavily behind her back, her knee hit the railing of the Jiuqu Bridge, her body tilted, and the imperial decree flew into the lake with her fingers attached.The railings of the Jiuqu Bridge were extremely short, only reaching the height of her calves, and in that situation they could not provide any protection. Qingchen's body was weightless, and he plunged headfirst into the lake.

There was chaos and screams on the bridge.The queen was stunned by this sudden incident, and several young eunuchs jumped into the water to save people, but the lake was too deep, and there were not many people who could swim, so many people who jumped became burdens instead.

When the queen was anxious and at a loss, she saw a person coming from not far away, it was the eldest son Xiao Jue.When Xiao Jue saw someone falling into the water on the shore, he plunged into the water and swam to save them without hesitation. The first thing he found was Qingchen, and as soon as he saw her, he carried her to the shore to swim.At this time, those little eunuchs also found Concubine Shu who fell into the water, and they worked together to lift her ashore.

Because Qingchen couldn't swim, he choked on a few sips of water and passed out, but he was holding on to the imperial edict tightly in his hand.Meanwhile, Concubine Shu also choked out a few sips of water, her whole body was wet and in a mess, but she stubbornly refused to listen to persuasion, she got up with the support of a few maids, and went to the imperial study in a weak state.

The queen was so pale that she couldn't say a word. Knowing that she had caused a catastrophe this time, she raised her hand and stroked her forehead, feeling a little dizzy and almost fell down.Zheyue behind her hurriedly supported her tightly, the queen naturally also saw the imperial edict, and now she understood that she had been tricked by Concubine Shu, she was just trying to provoke her deliberately, but it was too late .
