Chapter 28
Qiuying shuddered, suppressing the desire to raise her head, and took a peek at the motionless skirt of her master beside her!
Mrs. Liao's brows were furrowed even tighter. She faintly felt that Queen He was... wanting to take advantage of the King's absence to clean up the harem!
"At first, I wanted to save some face for you, Miss Simi, lest this ignorant court lady talk nonsense in front of Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Si, causing the sisters to lose peace! Hmph! It's a pity that this palace is so kind! Come here , bring someone up!" Queen He said a bunch of high-sounding words like a cannonball, and asked someone to bring someone into the palace.
After a while, two stout nuns pushed a thin maid to come in. The maid looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and she knelt down as soon as she entered the hall.
"Lily, don't tell your crimes! If you hide even a word, you will die!" Queen He shouted to the maid.
Everyone's eyes turned to the maid named Baihe, and she tremblingly raised her head to glance at Si Luoyun and Qiuying, then quickly lowered her head!
"On the [-]th day of the first lunar month... on the [-]th day, the maidservant went to deliver the flower cage that was assigned to Yunxiuju. Before leaving, sister Qiuying took the maidservant's hand and said thank you, and sent it to the gate of the palace. At that time, everyone Being busy, sister Qiuying found a secluded corner and said to the servant... said..."
"What?" Queen He asked sharply.
"My queen, my servant is wronged!" Qiu Ying, who was kneeling at Si Luoyun's feet, shouted, "I don't remember who came to deliver the lantern on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, but I definitely didn't drag anyone to hide after I gave the reward." What did the corner say!"
Empress He's eyes shot out a fierce light, and she said sharply: "Bold servant, who made you speak? Don't let me slap her mouth!"
The nanny who was standing next to the palace maid Baihe rushed over, grabbed Qiuying's hair and turned her face up, and slapped her four times!Immediately redness and swelling appeared on the once beautiful white and tender cheeks!
Si Luoyun's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked down at Qiu Ying who was pushed to the ground with tears streaming down her face and swollen face, her teeth were clenched tightly!
Seeing that Si Luoyun was no longer as calm as before, Queen He felt much better!
"Baihe, tell me!" Queen He snorted coldly, then turned to the court lady Baihe and threatened. "If you don't tell the truth, hum!"
"Your maidservant dare not lie!" Lily was so frightened by the scene of her beating Qiu Ying that she fell down on the hall, panicked and fearful, "Sister Qiuying gave this maidservant a heavy purse that day, saying that she wanted her to do something! That's... just pouring water at the gate of Fuyi Palace when Mrs. Si is admiring the lanterns with the king, and the palace people of Fuyi Palace are not paying attention to drinking! Because the cold weather will freeze soon, and Mrs. Si will return to the palace Then...the servants are greedy for the benefits of the 20 taels of silver, and when they get confused for a moment, they...just..."
Regardless of the latter, no one is a fool!
There was another brief silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was even more dignified than before!Mrs. Si was still sobbing, her voice sounded like she was accusing Si Luoyun of being "ruthless"!
"Si Meiren, what else can you say?" Queen He returned to her noble and graceful appearance at this time.
Si Luoyun glanced at the court lady Baihe who was lying on the ground trembling, then at Qiuying who was shaking her head and weeping, and finally looked up at Queen He.
It's not that if you don't fight in the world, others will let you go!The harem is like a big urn full of poisonous insects!The women are constantly fighting, and the weak will be eliminated!
"Queen." Si Luo Yunfu stood up and said, "Since this maid pointed out that Qiuying bribed her to do that, I also have a few words to ask her. Please allow me the queen."
Queen He smiled contemptuously, thinking that Si Luoyun was just dying!
Besides, I didn't want Simi Ren's life, but I just wanted to use this incident to make the king despise her!Even if she doesn't take care of Si Meiren in the future, Mrs. Si will definitely not make it easier for this sister who is lower than herself and "framed" her!
Queen He frowned, but still nodded and said: "Okay, in case you say that my palace is unfair and only listen to one person's one-sided words, you can ask!"
"Thank you, Queen." Si Luoyun straightened up, and slowly walked in front of Baihe, "Your name is Baihe, right? Just raise your head."
Lily didn't dare not listen, she raised her head tremblingly, but she didn't dare to look directly into Si Luoyun's eyes!
The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, and her face was delicate and immature.The two rows of feather-fan-like long eyelashes fluttered slightly, showing the uneasiness in her heart!
"Lily, you said that Qiuying gave you 20 taels of silver and told you to splash water at the gate of Fuyi Palace. Have you told others... or someone close to you about this?"
Lily slid her throat twice before saying: "Never! How dare I tell others about such a thing? I didn't tell anyone! It's the queen and empress..."
"Since you didn't tell anyone, did you have any accomplices when you carried the water to the gate of Fuyi Palace?" Si Luoyun asked again.
"No! The servant did it alone! There is no accomplice!" Lily gritted her teeth and replied decisively, like a strong man cutting his wrist.
Si Luoyun hooked her lips, and looked at the palace maid Baihe with a smile in her eyes, "Are you sure you brought a bucket of water to the gate of Fuyi Palace?"
Lily was taken aback by this question, and couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Simi in front of her!
Everyone in the palace said that Si Meiren was a "bullying" master. Although the king publicized her reputation, he has not been lucky with her for a long time!So far this beauty is still a virgin!Looking at the woman in palace costume in front of her now, it is true that there is no compelling sharpness in her eyes!
Obviously what I said and answered were all unfavorable words for Simi Ren and Qiu Ying, but Simi Ren did not show anger or resentment... But why is such a Simi Ren even more terrifying!
"Why didn't you answer?" Seeing Lily staring blankly at her without speaking, Si Luoyun asked patiently, "Are you sure you poured a bucket of water in front of Mrs. Si's Fuyi Palace?"
"Okay... it seems... it's half a bucket of water?" Lily thought of the wooden buckets in the palace, and it would be a bit difficult for her to carry one bucket at a time!
"Half a bucket of water?" There was a smile in Si Luoyun's voice, "The gate of Fuyi Palace is not small..."
"A bucket! It's a bucket of water!" Lily said hastily again, "The servants carried it in two times! Each time they carried half a bucket!"
Si Luoyun took a deep breath, the haze on her chest gradually dissipated, and her shoulders were no longer tense!
"Let me ask you one last question. Since there is no one to help you, where did you get the water from in the palace, and how did you carry half a bucket of water twice to avoid the patrolling palace guards and other busy palaces?" The one who poured water in front of Fuyi Palace without being noticed!?" Si Luoyun asked coldly with a smile on her face.
"..." Lily was completely dumbfounded!She can't answer!
Si Luoyun chuckled coldly at Lily's reaction!
Si Luoyun turned around on the spot and faced Queen He again, "The queen has checked clearly, and Lily's testimony has many loopholes, which is not credible! Since I entered Chen Palace, I have been using "Women's Virtue", "Women's Training", "Women's Training" and "Women's Ethics" "Commandment" strictly demands on oneself! And because of this, he is deeply loved by the king! Besides, the concubine and Mrs. Si are deeply in love with each other, how can they plot against each other? This is obviously someone who wants to provoke the sisterhood between the concubine and Mrs. Si, and take the opportunity to frame the concubine! Those who are despicable, shameless and vicious must be severely punished! Also ask the queen to be the master for my concubine and Qiuying!"
After finishing speaking, Si Luoyun suddenly knelt down and covered her face with her sleeves, as if crying sadly.
Unexpectedly, Si Meiren would turn the situation around after a few questions. Those who heard and watched were stunned!
Queen He changed her face when Si Luoyun asked a series of questions!She opened her mouth, but felt that her chest was tight and her throat was blocked by something, and it was difficult to breathe!
discipline oneself strictly?Won the king's love?Sisterhood?
Si Meiren, how dare you say that!
Imperial City, Shangjing.
The carriage with the paint plate of the Prime Minister's Mansion drove out from the Ximen Lane of the Prince's Mansion, and there were two middle-aged women sitting in the carriage.
One is a noble lady in a dark dress, full of dignity but pale and haggard, and the other woman is dressed as a servant girl.
"Ma'am." Nanny Li looked at the master's dazed face distressedly, and advised softly, "Ma'am, you should take care of your body."
The prime minister's wife, Mrs. Zhao, stared blankly at the swaying car curtain, and Madam Li's persuasion didn't seem to be heard at all.
Half a month ago, when Mrs. Zhao received the news that her son had died in battle in the south, she almost died of heartache!
Now that the prince's illness is getting worse, the imperial doctors are completely helpless!
Zhao was worried about her eldest daughter, Si Luohe, who was the princess, so she forced herself to go to the Prince's Mansion to visit her daughter.It turned out that chaos had already appeared in the prince's mansion, and the princess was sick in bed!
I have a son and two daughters with Prime Minister Si, and now the son is dead, and the future of the eldest daughter is also...
"Yuegui." Mrs. Zhao said suddenly, "I don't know why, but I'm suddenly worried about Yun'er."
The youngest daughter is far away in Chen Guo's harem, so it is difficult to make a living in that cannibalistic place, right?
When Nanny Li heard this, she turned her head and secretly wiped away her tears.The master's empty eyes and weak voice are really heartbreaking!Why did God treat his master so cruelly!
"Ma'am, you don't have to worry too much about Miss Second." Nanny Li could only comfort her, "Didn't His Majesty issue an imperial decree a few years ago, praising you for being a good teacher and rewarding you? Although Miss Third is higher than Miss Second, , it is rumored that Chen Wang is very fond of her, but that is just a momentary brilliance of serving people with color! The second lady is a virtuous woman praised by His Majesty and Chen Wang."
After the imperial decree was issued to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it caused quite a stir in the circle of the Gaomen family!
"Virtuous? Huh!" Mrs. Zhao sneered, a cold light flashed in her dull eyes, "In this world, virtuous women don't live happily!"
"Madam..." Nanny Li sighed helplessly, "Second Miss is different from Eldest Miss, it is extremely rare to be praised as 'virtuous'."
It sounded like she was belittling her own lady, but Nanny Li had watched Si Luoyun grow up, so she naturally knew the second lady's temperament!
There was a warm smile on Zhao's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, but there was water in his eyes.
"Yes, it is extremely rare." Raising her hand and pressing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong for me to raise and teach Yun'er like this."
Si Luoyun was ordered by Queen He to be confined to Yunxiu Residence, and the date of lifting the ban is yet to be determined!
The reason for the grounding was that Si Luoyun disobeyed Queen He's order and spoke disrespectfully to Queen He in Liuli Palace!
That day in the main hall of the Liuli Palace, Si Luoyun was speechless and flustered when she asked Baihe, the court lady who intended to frame her and Qiuying, but the girl insisted that Qiuying paid her to bribe her. Let go!

Qiuying shuddered, suppressing the desire to raise her head, and took a peek at the motionless skirt of her master beside her!
Mrs. Liao's brows were furrowed even tighter. She faintly felt that Queen He was... wanting to take advantage of the King's absence to clean up the harem!
"At first, I wanted to save some face for you, Miss Simi, lest this ignorant court lady talk nonsense in front of Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Si, causing the sisters to lose peace! Hmph!
