Chapter 132 Slap Yipin
Concubine Yi's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes, looked at Concubine Gao in horror, and said in a trembling voice, "I have absolutely no such intention!"
Her heart was filled with fear and anger. She never expected that Concubine Gao would distort the facts so much.
The trembling Yu Guiren looked at the enraged Gao Guifei and was very scared, but she still mustered up the courage to say:
"My Lady, Sister Yipin really didn't mean that. She was just worried about me. Please forgive Sister Yipin."
However, Concubine Gao completely ignored Concubine Yu's pleas for mercy. She looked at the two of them with a sneer, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
She turned around and ordered the palace maids behind her: "Capture her! I must punish her severely, otherwise the people in this palace will always be unruly."
The maids immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yipin's arms, and dragged her to the side. Yipin struggled, but her strength was far less than that of the maids, and she was quickly subdued.
Concubine Yi was furious, her heart was burning with rage, her reason was completely devoured, and she blurted out without thinking:
"My dear concubine, you are clearly trying to use a dog to murder the heir to the throne! Fortunately, I stopped you. Now you are so angry that you want to punish me! I will never give in. Let's go to see the Queen and seek justice immediately!"
"How dare you! Concubine Yi, you are so bold!" Concubine Gao was so angry that her eyes widened as if they were about to spit flames.
Concubine Yi was also a very courageous person. She actually raised her head and stared at Concubine Gao without fear.
Concubine Yu wanted to escape from this place and go find the Queen, but she was blocked by Concubine Gao's men.
If Wei Yingluo were present at this moment, she would be pissed to death by them... They should not have confronted Concubine Gao head-on from the beginning, let alone argued with her. Instead, they should have sent people to Changchun Palace to ask for support as soon as possible.
Er Qing witnessed the scene before her and thought to herself that Concubine Yi would not escape punishment today. Her notoriously arrogant personality was indeed good... If Concubine Gao used some humiliating methods to deal with her, she would probably be completely defeated.
Concubine Gao herself is an arrogant person. Now that she has met Concubine Yi, who is also quite proud, she naturally refuses to give up easily.
She laughed, with a chilling indifference in her smile: "You are just a small concubine, how dare you slander me? Take a good look at Concubine Yu, is her dragon fetus still there? Look at me, Xueqiu, who is injured and bleeding. There is no need to go to the queen, and it is useless even if you go to the emperor! You are committing insubordination."
The sky was clear just now, but now it became covered with dark clouds, as if a dark curtain was pressing down, and not a ray of sunlight could penetrate.
Wei Yingluo stood at the gate of Yonghe Palace, feeling extremely depressed and heavy in her heart.
"Bang!" Before Wei Yingluo stepped into the gate of Yonghe Palace, she heard a slight crisp sound coming from inside the door, and she hurriedly quickened her pace.
"Bang!" As she quickly walked through the door and into the yard, the sound became clearer and louder.
"Bang!" In the busy courtyard, Concubine Yi was kneeling on the ground, her cheeks swollen and a long streak of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She looked very miserable.
Then, a hard piece of wood hit her face hard.
"Princess Yi!" It was Zhilan who was holding the wood chip. She sneered and said, "I am asking you on behalf of the Imperial Concubine, why did you slap me in the face?"
Concubine Yi gritted her teeth, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she still lowered her head and said: "I have slandered the imperial concubine and committed insubordination."
Just as she finished her words, there was a "pop" sound, and the wood chip hit Concubine Yi's face hard again, making her stagger.
Zhilan asked coldly with a blank expression: "The Imperial Concubine asks you, do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Yipin endured the severe pain, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe it. She just lowered her head and replied in a trembling voice: "I don't blame you."
She swallowed a mouthful of blood with difficulty and continued, "This concubine has brought this upon herself, and no one else is to blame."
Seeing that her attitude was quite sincere, Zhilan paused for a moment, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and then asked: "Your Highness, let me ask you again, remember to be careful with your words in the future?"
Yipin seemed relieved and nodded quickly, "I'll remember..."
However, before she could finish, there was another crisp "pop" sound, this time louder than the previous one, which directly interrupted her words.
“No!” Concubine Yi could still bear it, but someone else couldn’t bear it anymore. Concubine Yu rushed out of the house quickly, threw herself on Concubine Yi, and cried to Zhilan, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me anymore! Concubine Yi made a mistake because of me. If you want to punish me, please punish me. Hit me! Hit me!”
"Look at what you said." Zhilan sneered, "Lady Yu, you are pregnant with a dragon fetus and have a noble status. For the sake of the child in your belly, the imperial concubine will forgive the slander against you, but it's different for Concubine Yi..."
She slowly moved her gaze to Concubine Yi's face. Should we say that things are like their owners? As the imperial concubine's personal maid, Zhilan's eyes were equally cold and vicious, like a green snake spitting out its tongue.
"There are still twenty to go." Zhilan said with a smile.
"No!" Concubine Yu hugged Concubine Yi tightly and refused to let go.
"Lady Yu, if you make such a fuss and hurt the dragon fetus, we servants will not be able to bear the blame!" Zhilan's face suddenly changed and she scolded harshly.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu shuddered and subconsciously let go of her hand.
Zhilan took the opportunity to pull Concubine Yu away, raised the wood chip again, and hit Concubine Yi hard.
Yipin groaned, her forehead dripping with sweat, her face as pale as paper. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Sister!" Concubine Yu cried and shouted, trying to break free from her restraints to pull Concubine Yi, but she was held tightly by two young eunuchs under Zhilan and could not move.
Zhilan had no expression on her face and she was merciless as she whipped Concubine Yi over and over again, using all her strength each time.
Concubine Yi's screams were endless and horrifying. Meanwhile, Concubine Yu, who was standing by, burst into tears, her eyes full of pain and helplessness. She watched Concubine Yi suffer, her heart filled with self-blame and regret.
"No, let me go! Let me go, Sister Concubine Yi!" She cried and tried to struggle free, but the young eunuchs held her arms tightly, preventing her from moving at all.
"Pah!" There was another crisp sound, but it did not hit Concubine Yi's face. It turned out that Wei Yingluo reached out and blocked Zhilan's upcoming wooden chip.
Her hand immediately felt a burning pain, but she had no time to care about her injury. Instead, she stared at Zhilan, her eyes revealing a hint of majesty and anger, which made Zhilan shrink her neck.
