"Hongying!" Concubine Qin glanced at Hongying displeasedly, and then said to Ping'er: "What kind of benefits did the emperor promise you to obey her like this? Money?"
"No..." Ping'er stammered, not daring to continue, but who was Princess Qin? Seeing Ping'er's hesitant expression, she guessed, "Is the thing she promised you related to Yunli?
"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Ping'er had to say: "Yes, the queen said that as long as the slave is willing to help her this time, she will give the slave to the prince as a concubine. The slave knows that she is of low origin and not worthy of the prince, but the slave is really interested in the prince.
It's a piece of infatuation, see it yourself
After marrying the prince, I was happy and worried about the prince. So when I heard the Queen’s words, I was confused and agreed. I really didn’t expect that this would harm the prince. Otherwise, even if it cost my life, I would never do it.
I won’t agree to it.”
Concubine Qin hated Ping'er so much that she even wanted to kill her with a stick immediately. Fortunately, Concubine Xi knew that the queen gave Ping'er a dress, so she became suspicious. Otherwise, she might not know about it until it happened.
Until then, we still don’t know what the fuss will be like.
"Toffee, this slave really didn't know. Please forgive me this time. I promise that I will never help the queen again." Ping'er begged and kept kowtowing.
Concubine Qin sneered: "If you don't help the queen, aren't you afraid that the queen will settle a score with you?"
Ping'er heard this and said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid, but I don't want to harm the prince. If the concubine doesn't believe it, I can swear it."
Concubine Qin endured the disgust in her heart and said sincerely: "Finally you still have some conscience, get up."
"Thank you, Concubine." After Ping'er stood up tremblingly, Concubine Qin said again: "Do you really want to follow Yunli?"
Ping'er was not sure what Concubine Qin meant by asking, so she said carefully: "I know that I have a humble status, so I shouldn't have such delusions. Please rest assured, Concubine, I will not be able to do anything anymore. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future."
.”
Concubine Qin's lips curved into a slightly cool curve, "Do you really think so, or are you afraid that I will punish you? Don't worry, the previous punishment with the stick was just to make you tell the truth. I am not asking for help at every turn.
Yes, you are completely unqualified to be Yunli's direct descendant, but you are not necessarily qualified to be a concubine or princess."
Princess Qin's words made Ping'er a little confused. She didn't understand why Princess Qin's attitude suddenly changed. She hesitated and didn't dare to respond immediately.
Concubine Qin raised her hand to caress Ping'er's face. When the tip of the red gold armor scratched her face, Ping'er shivered, fearing that if Concubine Qin applied force, the armor would leave an indelible mark on her face.
The scars come.
Concubine Qin saw Ping'er's reaction in her eyes and said coldly: "Does it still hurt from those few sticks just now?" Without waiting for Ping'er to answer, he said: "Hongying, go ask the doctor to come and look at Ping'er.
Look at these injuries."
Hongying originally thought that Ping'er would lose half of her life this time even if she survived. Unexpectedly, after a while, Princess Qin changed her attitude. Not only did she say that Ping'er was qualified to be the prince's concubine, but she also wanted to give Ping'er her own life.
Please doctor, this is simply...simply...
While Hongying was still in a daze, Concubine Qin frowned and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Hongying came back to her senses and did not dare to be negligent. She quickly leaned forward and said, "I will go and ask for the doctor right now."
After Hongying went out, Concubine Qin looked at Ping'er and said: "These days, you and I have done everything I asked you to do, which is very good. Originally, if there was no Queen's matter, I planned to wait.
When the time is right, I will point you to Yunli, but unfortunately... alas, you have cut off your own path."
Hearing this, Ping'er's mind couldn't help but come alive, and she quickly said: "Toffee Mingjian, this slave has really been deceived by the Queen. I don't know how vicious her thoughts are. In addition, I don't know your plan, so I agreed in a daze."
Fortunately for her, the big mistake has not been made now, and she would like to ask the concubine to give this slave another chance."
Concubine Qin nodded slightly and said, "Don't you blame me for letting someone beat you like that just now?"
Ping'er shook her head repeatedly and said: "It's a blessing for me that the concubine is willing to teach me a lesson. I can't thank you enough. How can I blame you? I just ask you to be kind and give me another chance. I will definitely not let you down again."
"
Concubine Qin suppressed the anger in her heart and said pleasantly: "Then are you willing to make amends for your past mistakes?"
Ping'er had no reason not to agree. She nodded repeatedly and said, "If you are willing, please let me know."
"Very good." Concubine Qin nodded with satisfaction and said, "If Xiao Ningzi comes to see you again, just follow his words and don't let him know that I already know about this."
Ping'er said strangely: "But didn't the concubine just say that doing this would harm the prince?"
From the beginning to the end, Ping'er never worried about whether she would harm Ling Ruo, because in her opinion, Ling Ruo's life and death had nothing to do with her. Being a master and servant for nearly half a year did not make her have any feelings.
On the contrary, Galdan's whipping and Yunli's affection for Ling Ruo now made her hate Ling Ruo so much that she even wished she was dead.
Concubine Qin smiled slightly and said: "Of course I don't really obey him, it's just a pretense. When the queen asks you to speak in front of the emperor, you can follow my instructions."
How could Ping'er dare to say no at this time, and agreed repeatedly. Concubine Qin was very satisfied and said: "As long as you act according to my words, I will forgive you for the mistakes you made before. What I said before,
I can still count, do you understand?"
Ping'er said excitedly: "The concubine said that the slave...the slave can go and serve the prince, right?"
Concubine Qin stroked Ping'er's cheek again and said gently: "Then it depends on whether you listen to me or not. If you do, I don't mind having another person around Yunli."
Ping'er knelt down quickly and said, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely do as you ask and will never let you down." Yunli was the person she fell in love with at first sight. As long as she can stay with Yunli
No matter what she is asked to do, she will never refuse.
"Very good." When Princess Qin said this, Hongying also invited the doctor over. After a general inspection, the doctor confirmed that Ping'er only suffered some flesh injuries and no injuries to the muscles and bones. He applied some medicine and rested.
It will heal in a few days.
After the doctor handed the medicine to Ping'er, Princess Qin said to Yan, "Okay, hurry up and apply the medicine. Apply more, otherwise it won't look good if you leave scars on your body."
Ping'er squeezed the medicine in her hand and stepped back with gratitude. After she left, Hongying couldn't wait to say: "Princess, this Ping'er helped the queen and tried to harm the prince, why don't you just kill her with a cane?"
