Chapter 40 Concubine Bai takes action for her favor
Concubine Bai was suddenly named, and her legs went weak. She knew what she had done, but she thought she had done it covertly. Even if the queen was aware of it, how much did she know? She didn't know how deep she was aware of it.
What should I do if I admit it? The queen didn't realize it, but she admitted it, so she was digging her own grave.
Concubine Bai knelt down in an instant, thinking about how to minimize the impact and prevent the Queen from not pursuing the matter but choosing to expose it gently. "I am ignorant and ignorant. I don't know what mistakes I have made unintentionally. Please ask the queen to teach you."
The queen is the queen of a country, but she is also the mistress of these concubines. As long as she does not move, the queen As for the empress, the empress generally chooses to be like an ordinary mistress and doesn't care too much.
There are so many concubines in this palace, all of them are the emperor's women. If the emperor likes so many of them, the queen will be unhappy.
What's more! The queen's virtue is well known. Having made up her mind on this, Concubine Bai felt a lot more at ease. But the attitude is also shown!
The concubines gave up their positions.
"Are you unintentional?" The queen's tone was neither salty nor cool, and she couldn't tell what her mood was, so she asked back.
Concubine Bai's heart skipped a beat and asked about the word "unintentional". This means she will be punished severely!
A moment of struggle flashed across her face, wondering whether she should continue to be stubborn. But when she thought about what she had done, she could only continue to insist on it.
If she makes a mistake unintentionally, even if she is punished severely, she does not have a bad intention; but if she makes a mistake intentionally, then she has a bad intention. This is a question of character! With such a flaw, she has no future.
Xin Yiheng, Concubine Bai cried so hard that she hurriedly kowtowed, "This servant is a confused person. He is not as reasonable as my sisters. I don't know what mistakes I have made unintentionally. Please punish me!"
Concubine Bai said the word "Wuxin" tightly. If she made any mistakes, would she admit it? But it was never intentional, and she had absolutely no bad intentions!
"Chushu," the queen did not look at Concubine Bai, but named the little maid who was serving beside Concubine Bai.
Chu Shu trembled all over. She had already knelt down when Concubine Bai knelt down. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, his body was shaking, and his body was very thin.
"Is this slave here?" A look of despair appeared on Chu Shu's face. As slaves, they have the duty to dissuade their masters, and it is their fault if they fail to dissuade them. Master and servant are one, and it is never a lie that the master is noble and the servant is honored.
Now that the Queen is asking questions, she will definitely not dare to tell lies. Although the Queen has always had a reputation as a wise person, she is not just a kind person.
After offending the Queen, how can she live a good life? The concubine Bai who she was assigned to serve was also ineffective. If she expected Concubine Bai, she could only struggle in the mud and die!
But if you betray Concubine Bai, you are betraying your master; you will definitely be returned to the House of Internal Affairs in the future. A slave like her will no longer be able to serve her master in the future, and will have to do something else. Menial work.
Not to mention, offending the Queen, not to mention being assigned to other places to do rough work, I'm afraid the end will be even worse.
How great it would be if the person she was assigned to serve was Concubine Nala.
“What did Concubine Bai do?” If the Queen cares too much about what her slaves think, I'm afraid they will threaten their master.
So when it’s time to be ruthless, you always have to be ruthless.
Hearing this, the eyes of the concubines in the main hall of Kunning Palace fell on Chu Shu.
The personal maids serving around these new concubines were named Beginning of Spring, Vernal Equinox, Guyu, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman, Mang Zhong, Dashu, Chushu, Bailu, Hanlu, Shuangjiang and Xiaohan.
Chushu is a maid assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve beside Concubine Bai.
Concubine Irgenjueluo is accompanied by Lichun, concubine Heyele is served by the vernal equinox, Concubine Guyu is served by Duragerqi, Beginning of Summer is served by Concubine Tamu, and Concubine Huifana is served by Great Heat. La Concubine and Han Lu served Zhaojia Concubine. Xiaoman waits beside Qinrou.
Mang Zhong served Concubine Li, and Bailu served Concubine Qian. After Concubine Wanyan entered the palace, Xiaohan was assigned to serve Concubine Wanyan, while Shuangjiang was assigned to serve Concubine Guo Hun.
"Report to the Queen," Chu Shu said with despair on his face, but he spoke truthfully.
“Concubine Bai tried to bribe the servants serving in the imperial garden, poured sesame oil on the road, and tried to lure Concubine Hadana over. Because the concubine was jealous of Concubine Hadana being favored. ...Only Hadana Concubine La concubine cannot accept the favor, Concubine Bai said, so she has the chance to sleep with her. "
The more Chu Shu talked, the more desperate he became. His voice was choked with sobs. He didn't know whether he was crying about his bad fate or the dark future.
Everyone looked surprised! No one expected that Concubine Bai would take action.
Although they were also jealous of Concubine Hadana's favor and had some dark thoughts, they all knew in their hearts that being in an unfamiliar place was not the best time to take action. So everyone can bear it.
Unexpectedly, there was already a Wolf Slayer, and he struck a fatal blow.
Unfortunately, it just missed.
Qinrou was also stunned. She also didn't expect that this matter could be related to her.
To be favored, one must be filled with thousands of resentments. Therefore, Qinrou quickly calmed down, and the surprise on her face quickly disappeared.
“This,” Concubine Ilgenjueluo didn’t know what to say. Concubine Bai’s action was definitely wrong, especially when she was caught. But when it comes to thoughts, it’s also true.
Who doesn’t want to be pampered? There is only so much divine favor, everyone wants it, and I can only come up after you go down, but don’t I have to do something about it? But Concubine Bai's mistake was that she took action when she couldn't see the situation clearly, and she was caught.
But it’s not without its benefits. Finally, I have a stone to explore the way. Take a look at how the Empress handles this matter and how she will act in the future, and you will have an idea.
Treading on other people's bones, Ilgen felt that Concubine Luo had no burden at all, and neither did the other concubines in the palace.
Concubine Ergenjueluo also stopped talking. If you are not careful about this matter, you can easily get into trouble. She chose to remain silent and not get involved at all, so as not to be stained with a stench that could not be washed away.
Others also have their own concerns.
"What else do you have to say?" The queen looked at Concubine Bai, "The servants serving in the Imperial Garden are waiting outside Kunning Palace. If you feel that the servant next to you is wrong, I will send the message to the Imperial Garden. The servants who serve here come to confront her. "
Catch the thief and steal the stolen goods, and the queen will never let Concubine Bai feel that she has been wronged! Or to make others feel that she, the queen, had wronged Concubine Bai.
"I was confused for a moment and deeply regretful. I beg the Queen for forgiveness." Concubine Bai naturally did not dare to declare that the servant came to confront her, so she could only admit the crime.
She did do it.
But she felt relieved. Before things got to their worst, she still had room to turn around. If she accepted the crime, she would accept it. It has not reached the point of no return.
So Concubine Bai just kept crying about her confusion and the regret in her heart.
She even went too far, not mentioning it to the Empress, and pretending that the Empress meant to let her go.
