Chapter 630 The Tragic Palace Maid 23
"I am very uneasy," Concubine Hui sneered, "You, my dear, robbed me of my favor last night, how can I be at peace? After you greet me, please go with me to Qingyun Palace. After all, I need you to comfort me with my uneasy heart."
Zhengui was scared at this moment. She was really afraid of the methods used by these concubines: "Empress Hui, it was indeed my fault last night, but I became a joke, too, letting the maids around me climb onto the dragon bed in my room, so..."
"So what?" Concubine Hui sneered, "Is Guirui planning to use me as a pawn? Is he telling me that even if I want to find someone to settle a score, I should find Concubine Jiang."
Concubine Hui also knew that Jiang Chunxi had been appointed as a concubine: "My dear, it seems that you are still as bold as ever when it comes to offending me!"
"I dare not." Guirui said aggrievedly. Obviously, she was right! Although she was the one who dragged the emperor to Liuli Palace last night, it was Chunxi, the slave girl, who was favored in the end.
Therefore, the one who stole Concubine Hui's favor should be that lowly maid Chunxi. If Concubine Hui wanted to find someone to settle accounts with, she should find that lowly maid Chunxi.
"What a sharp tongue you have!" Concubine Hui's eyes turned cold and fierce. "You are still quibbling. What other use is there for this mouth of yours other than to annoy others?"
"Alright," Concubine Hui said with an expression that she didn't want to bother with the precious person anymore. "After you pay your respects, follow me to Qingyun Palace. Don't let me take you away by force. This will save your face. Otherwise, if I really let you take away by force, you, the precious person, will lose all your dignity."
"What are you saying, Concubine Hui?" Concubine Rong said sarcastically, "What dignity does her precious lady have now? Hasn't she become a laughing stock in the entire harem?"
"So! You'd better not be too polite to the precious one. Why are you talking to her so nicely? After you greet her, just have the servants around you forcibly take the precious one to your palace."
"I don't need Rong Fei to teach me how to do things," Hui Fei came to her seat and sat down. "Rong Fei, instead of being interested in teaching me how to do things, you should think about it carefully. When the emperor turns over your green card, don't let others rob your favor."
Then, Concubine Hui looked at Guirui with contempt, "After all, some people are born shameless. If they can rob someone of their favor once, they will do it a second time and a third time. So the sisters present should be more careful! Don't be as unlucky as me."
Concubine Hui's words made everyone look at Zhengui Ren very unfriendly. After all, what Concubine Hui said made sense. Who knows whose favor Zhengui Ren will steal next time.
"It's so funny. She is a lady from a noble family after all, but how come her behavior is no different from that of a prostitute?" This was the voice of a maid.
"What do you mean by a lady from a noble family?" Concubine Li sneered. "Everyone in the capital knows about the family background of this precious person! Her grandfather was a minor official of the fifth rank. If he had not given birth to a good daughter and won the late emperor's favor, her family would not have been able to get a title."
"So! The origin of the Guirui family cannot be described as a lady from a noble family. At most, she is from a small family. Even a small family like the Guirui family can raise a good girl. Isn't it just to teach some tricks of prostitutes so that they can have another favorite concubine?"
"It's just a pity! The emperor is not the previous emperor. He will be bewitched by the tricks of the precious people."
"Li Guifei, you can insult me, but please don't insult my family." Guirui looked at Li Guifei angrily with tears in her eyes and said:
"Insult," Concubine Li said as if she had just heard a huge joke. "What I said was wrong. Didn't your family get a title thanks to your good aunt? It's just that your family is greedy and not satisfied with having one concubine. You even dream of training another concubine."
"What a pity! The emperor is not the previous emperor, and you are not as powerful as your aunt, so even if you learn some unpresentable tricks, you still can't win the emperor's heart."
"The Queen has arrived." Just then the Queen came out.
Everyone saluted the Queen. After the Queen had everyone stand up and sit down, the Queen looked at Guigui and said, "Guigui, I heard that you stole Concubine Hui's favor last night."
"It's my fault." Guigui wanted to argue again, but it was obvious that the Queen wanted to make things difficult for her just like Concubine Hui did, so what was the point of her arguing again.
"This kind of bad behavior is extremely unacceptable," the queen frowned and said, "I won't punish you this time, but if it happens again, don't blame me for punishing you again."
"And you," the queen looked at the concubines, "you should take Guirui's example as a warning and not learn bad habits. Otherwise, if everyone is like Guirui, the order of the harem will be disrupted."
"Your Majesty's order is obeyed."
"I will obey your order."
No one was dissatisfied with the Queen's words. After all, no one wanted to be chosen as a cuckold by the Emperor only to have their favor taken away by someone else.
The queen kept everyone talking for a while and then let them disperse.
Before leaving, Guirui thought about asking the Queen for help. After all, who knew how Concubine Hui would humiliate her if she took her back to Qingyun Palace.
But when she thought that the queen was also full of ill will towards her, Zhengui gave up the idea of asking the queen for help.
But Guirui was too naive. Concubine Hui brought her back to Qingyun Palace not only to humiliate her, but also to torture her.
As soon as they arrived at Qingyun Palace, Concubine Hui had Zhengui arrested, and then started pricking Zhengui with a needle.
Zhengui wanted to scream, but his mouth had been blocked, so people outside naturally couldn't hear his screams.
Yundou was standing outside. Although he didn't hear any sound from inside the hall, he knew without thinking that the precious person must be suffering a lot at this moment.
Humph! You deserve it.
Yundou really wished that Concubine Hui would just torture Zhengui to death, then she would be relieved.
It was not until nightfall that Concubine Hui let the precious person go.
The precious person slowly returned to the Liuli Palace by holding onto the palace wall. As for Kidney Bean...
Oh! She slipped away a long time ago.
After all, Qingyun Palace would not give her any food, so how could she possibly stay in Qingyun Palace for the whole day?
When Gui Zheng returned to Liuli Palace and learned that the Emperor had turned over Jiang Chunxi's green card tonight and took her to Yongtai Palace to favor her, it was another heavy blow to her.
This caused the precious man to faint and fall to the ground unconscious. He then lay there for the entire night. Not a single servant came in to take a look, so no one knew that the precious man had fainted on the ground.
Of course, even if they knew, the servants of the Glass Palace would not be so kind as to carry the precious person to the bed.
Since Guigui didn't call her, Yundou naturally wouldn't take the initiative to serve Guigui. She had already been lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
