Chapter 9 Fucking Imperial Power
The guards immediately dragged up a palace maid whose mouth was gagged and her hands were tied.
Seeing that familiar face, Concubine Yun's heart skipped a beat, but her face became even more confused, "What does Eunuch Zhou mean by this?"
Zhou Yuande took out the handkerchief from Xiulan's mouth.
"Your Majesty, save me!" Xiulan begged as tears flowed down her cheeks with clear palm prints, "I'm the one who works for you, but you asked me to add oleander to Concubine Rong's beauty cream..."
"You bastard!" Concubine Yun interrupted sharply, "I have never seen you before. Everyone in the palace can testify. Who sent you to frame me?"
She looked at Zhou Yuande with just the right amount of indignation and grievance.
"Eunuch Zhou, don't believe the words of this cheap maid. I have always respected my sister Rong Fei, how could I let others harm her? This cheap maid must have taken advantage of others and deliberately framed me."
"Your Majesty will make your own judgment on whether it is a frame-up." Zhou Yuande winked at the guard, who blocked Xiulan's mouth again and dragged her away.
With a sneer on his face, Zhou Yuande leaned over and said to Concubine Yun: "Your Majesty ordered your servants to come and help Wanyi move to the back hall. In the future, please ask Xu Wanyi to have a good life and copy sutras and worship Buddha in the back hall to pray for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
"Wanyi?" Hearing this title, Xu Rushuang felt as if she had been struck by lightning, with a look of shock and disbelief.
Not only was his status demoted, but his account was also banned?
She swayed and fell on the eldest palace maid, almost fainting.
Zhou Yuande snorted coldly: "Wanyi, be careful. If you get injured or sick, how can you pray for His Majesty and the Queen Mother in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Rushuang didn't dare to faint.
Who knew if she really fainted, what would this damn eunuch say in front of His Majesty?
If she was dissatisfied with His Majesty, would she be thrown into the cold palace or even risk her life?
After clarifying the pros and cons, Xu Rushuang stood firm.
She smiled at Zhou Yuande, "The wind blew at noon, and I felt a little dizzy, which made Eunuch Zhou laugh. How can I trouble you to do such a small thing as moving? Eunuch Zhou was standing by to give instructions, so that I, the palace man, could move. Yes.”
She winked at the eldest palace maid Chun Lian, who immediately stepped forward and handed Zhou Yuande a purse, "I'd like to trouble my father-in-law to make this trip. It's getting cold. Please drink a pot of hot tea, my father-in-law."
Zhou Yuande didn't answer, but he didn't continue to embarrass Xu Rushuang and let her people move the things.
Maintaining a fake smile, she sent the person away. After the person had disappeared, Xu Rushuang returned to the back hall and was so angry that she threw a lot of things.
Chunlian and others knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
"Dou Jingwan, you bitch!" Xu Rushuang broke a vase and stared at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and said bitterly, "Let's see!"
"Spring Lotus!"
Chun Lian immediately stood up, helped Xu Rushuang sit down on the couch, and comforted softly: "Master, please calm down and don't get angry. The master will receive the news soon, and will plead for the master in front of His Majesty."< br>
Xu Rushuang snorted softly, feeling relieved.
She said bitterly: "Bitch Dou is used to showing off in front of His Majesty. She must have coaxed His Majesty into not even giving me a chance to tell the difference!"
"Your Majesty is very angry right now. When your Majesty calms down, he will definitely think of you, Master."
Chunlian poured a cup of hot tea and offered it, "Master, please wait patiently. The Queen Mother always values you more, Master. You may wish to copy two volumes of Buddhist scriptures and send them to the Queen Mother. One means that you have listened to His Majesty's words, and the other Then let Your Majesty see your filial piety towards the Queen Mother.”
Xu Rushuang thought it was reasonable, and immediately ordered people to clean up the mess in the palace, spread out paper and ink, and stay up late copying Buddhist scriptures.
On the other side, Chu Liuzheng and Xiao Xiazi, who didn't know that the imperial concubine had taken the blame for them, stood for a while at the door of the Shenxing Department and saw Aunt Qian from Huaqing Palace leading Xia Qiaoru out.
Xia Qiaoru's face was pale and she seemed to have little strength, so she asked the two palace maids to support her.
Seeing Chu Liuzheng and Xiao Xiazi waiting at the door, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Liu Zheng, Xiao Xiazi, you are here."
Chu Liuzheng and Xiao Xiazi quickly walked over and took Xia Qiaoru from the hands of the two palace maids. "Are there any injuries on your body?"
Xia Qiaoru shook her head and gently squeezed Chu Liuzheng's hand.
Chu Liuzheng's heart trembled, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry.
Concern leads to chaos. How can you ask these words in front of people in Huaqing Palace?
"Is this Miss Liu Zheng serving tea in front of the emperor?" Aunt Qian took the initiative to greet Chu Liu Zheng with a smile on her face.
"I've seen grandma." Chu Liuzheng bowed to her.
Aunt Qian turned sideways and returned the half salute, her shrewd eyes glancing at Chu Liuzheng.
There's nothing wrong with your manners, but this face is far worse than that of your master. How can it catch His Majesty's eyes?
I heard that His Majesty treats this person a little bit specially, but I think it's just a rumor.
With confidence in her heart, her expression became more kind, and she looked at Xia Qiaoru and sighed.
"That cheap maid was cunning and made Miss Qiaoru suffer. The empress was also deceived by that cheap maid. After finding out the truth, she immediately ordered the old slave to take the girl out, fearing that the girl would suffer if she stayed inside."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xia Qiaoru endured the pain and blessed herself, and said softly: "Concubine Rong is kind, and I feel grateful for her in my heart."
——Dou Jingwan, the daughter of the Minister of War, was given the title "Rong" when she was promoted to a noble concubine last year.
[The victim also wants to thank the perpetrator, this fucking imperial power! 】
Chu Liuzheng cursed in his heart, but with a smile on his lips, he continued: "Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Rong is a soft-hearted person. She has always been considerate of us slaves, and she will definitely not let Qiaoru suffer in vain. This crime.”
Xiao Xiazi followed suit: "Yes, I often hear imperial doctors say that."
Aunt Qian's smile froze. It was she who said the words, and it was so awkward for the two of them to praise her. Why was it so awkward?
Are you asking her for something?
Aunt Qian glanced at Chu Liuzheng, but she knew how to climb up the pole, but her eyelids were so shallow, if she could close them, wouldn't she be able to be the empress's eyeliner in front of His Majesty?
After thinking about it for a while, Grandma Qian planned to go back and report to her mother-in-law before making any further arguments.
She took Xia Qiaoru's hand and patted it affectionately: "I think you have suffered a lot, so I gave you some things to replenish your body. I was in a hurry just now, but I forgot to take them. I will send someone to deliver them to you later."
"If you feel uncomfortable, please ask Dr. Liu from the Imperial Hospital to take a look at it. The money for the medicine will be paid for by Huaqing Palace. The girl must be taken care of carefully to avoid leaving the root cause of the disease."
[Tsk, tsk, you said it nicely, didn’t you just want to give Concubine Rong a good reputation? How about hitting a few sticks and giving some sweet dates to make people remember Concubine Rong? Haha, it seems that Qiaoru’s entry into the Shenxing Division was not an order from Concubine Rong! 】
Xia Qiaoru said obediently: "When this slave is well, I will go to Huaqing Palace to kowtow to Concubine Rong and thank her."
Seeing that the little palace maid was interested, Nanny Qian was satisfied. She said a few more words of concern before leaving with her.
Xiao Xiazi quietly spat at her back, and together with Chu Liuzheng, helped Xia Qiaoru back to her residence.
"Xiaoxiazi, please go back first, I am here."
Xiao Xiazi was also thinking about her job in the pharmacy, so she filled the hot water and left.
Xia Qiaoru works in the pharmacy of Taiyuan Hospital and lives in a six-person room.
Compared to the two-person room Chu Liuzheng lived in, this six-person room seemed much cramped.
