A flash of light flashed in Situ Yan's beautiful eyes, and she said with satisfaction: "Since Sister Hui Fei said so, I will take good care of this slave on your behalf..."
"Yun Jingchu, I ask you once again, where did you take that return gift?" Situ Yan glanced at Yun Jingchu who was kneeling on the ground and asked coldly.
As long as there is a fight, there will always be victims, but she will never be that victim again!
At this moment, Yun Jingchu saw Situ Yan's cold eyes clearly, and suddenly thought of all the pain in her past, she felt suffocated. No matter when, the only person she could rely on was herself, but at this moment,
But she found that she was somewhat powerless.
Seeing Yun Jingchu's delay in answering, Situ Yan immediately yelled loudly: "Bold slave, I see that you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin. It seems that I don't want to show you the color. You really don't tell the truth, Xiangling,
Go up and slap me, and watch her talk back..."
Xiang Ling's eyes were filled with viciousness. She responded, rolled up Yun's sleeves, moved her hands together, walked to Yun Jingchu's side, and slapped Yun Jingchu's face hard without mercy -
Following two loud sounds, five clear finger prints immediately appeared on both sides of Yun Jingchu's fair face. One can imagine how painful this slap was.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were all frightened. Everyone in the Huining Palace who dared to come out to plead for mercy watched silently. After that, when they looked at the cold air around the Queen's body, they couldn't help but shudder.
, I can only silently pray for Yun Jingchu in my heart.
Situ Yan took a sip of tea and looked at Concubine Hui's face getting more and more ugly. She smiled and said, "Sister Hui Concubine, don't feel too bad. I just want them to understand that there are some things you should think twice about as a slave in this palace."
Okay, and you have to be more careful from now on. If this slave causes trouble outside and is not punished strictly, it would be bad if he gets talked about later. You think so? This tea is a tribute to the emperor.
It was given to me as a reward, and I specially brought it here for you sisters to try today."
Concubine De had always had no rights in the palace, so of course she didn't dare to say anything while watching the show, but she could see the smile she was trying to hide from her eyes. She thought in her heart that the empress was just a drunkard, not for the sake of drinking.
It seems that there is no room for Concubine Hui. In fact, none of them are jealous of Concubine Hui because she received the emperor's favor for no reason.
Concubine Xian felt relieved, took a sip of tea, wiped the tea at the corner of her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief, and spoke slowly and slowly: "Queen, Shengming, these slaves should be disciplined, we must not let them forget
own identity.”
Concubine Hui also picked up a cup of tea, but she still chose not to speak, but her heart was like a turbulent wave. This Situ Yan was really deceiving others. She thought about it, took a sip, and put the tea cup down without any intention to taste the tea.
Situ Yan looked at Concubine Hui who was still calm, frowned, and then looked at Yun Jingchu who was kneeling on the ground again, and asked coldly again: "I still advise you to tell the whole thing, so as not to get hurt again.
Tell me, did you keep that return gift privately?"
It's really hypocritical, but Situ Yan is the queen now and controls everything in the harem. She really can't challenge her. Thinking of this, a chill suddenly swept through her body. Yun Jingchu clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth and continued to agree:
"Slave, I really don't know what's going on..."
Situ Yan was completely irritated at this moment, and she ordered in a cold voice: "You are really stubborn. Someone, come here, take this slave down and punish me with a cane."
Suddenly, the entire pavilion fell silent, and everyone held their breath.
Soon, Xiang Ling came forward with two eunuchs and was about to take Yun Jingchu away when he saw a white figure running towards her and appeared in everyone's sight.
"None of you can bully sister." As a clear voice sounded, a big hand suddenly stretched out and pressed on her hand through the sleeve.
Yun Jingchu was shocked. She slowly turned her head and looked at the arm holding her hand. In the bright sunshine, Yu Wenyi's eyes were as bright as stars. Their eyes were firm, pure, and full of nervousness.
, like a god and a beautiful man, bursting out of the waves.
This silly prince, with beads of sweat on his forehead, immediately rushed to her side after seeing her being bullied.
Inexplicably, at that moment, she felt suffocated.
Yu Wenyi's handsome face penetrated deeply into Yun Jingchu's heart at this moment. The excitement in her heart burst out silently, and a touch of warmth slowly seeped into Yun Jingchu's heart, which was as cold as ice.
When everyone was questioning her, doubting her, and even wanted to punish her, this silly prince actually stood by her side without hesitation.
Yu Wenyi quickly took Yun Jingchu's thin hand. At this moment, he realized that his sister's hand was so small. An unprecedented thought flashed in his heart. He wanted to hold this hand for the rest of his life, forever.
Don't let go.
A stream of warmth was continuously transmitted from his hands, and then the coldness disappeared instantly.
Yes, she will never give up just because she is the queen now and she is the maid-in-waiting. What she wants is to make progress every step of the way!
At this moment, Yun Jingchu's expression was firm and emotionless, but there was a faint glint of tears in her eyes. For a moment, people didn't dare to look at her.
At this time, everyone present quickly recovered from the shock. Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly stood up and returned to her usual elegant appearance. Yingying walked to Yu Wenyi and said softly: "Your Majesty, why are you here?
?”
Yu Wenyi looked at Situ Yan, his dark eyes full of determination, and said stubbornly: "If the Queen wants to bully my sister, please bully me."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. They all looked at Yu Wenyi in disbelief, wondering in their hearts what the relationship between this Yun Jingchu and this stupid prince was, and that he actually begged for mercy like this.
Concubine Hui's anxious heart finally calmed down a little. This silly prince appeared just in time. Last time at the sacrifice to heaven, she could see that this silly prince was particularly nervous about Jingchu. I believe Jingchu can do it this time.
Turn danger into safety.
Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Yu Wenyi would do this. She looked at Yu Wenyi's serious expression with her beautiful eyes, and thought to herself, how stupid is Yu Wenyi to be a prince and not a person in the harem at all?
She had no right to do anything to him, but she had to get rid of Yun Jingchu, a thorn in her side. She must make Concubine Hui know who was the master of the harem.
Thinking about it, the thin hands under Yun's sleeves were tightly held, but her beautiful little face still had an elegant look. She looked at Yu Wenyi and explained patiently: "Your Majesty, this female official secretly kept the return gift from me to Concubine Hui.
, I also act in accordance with the palace rules, please don’t embarrass me.”
I originally thought that Yu Wenyi would know how to measure and let go of Yun Jingchu immediately, but his hand did not let go at all. Instead, he held it tighter. His clear eyes turned red, and his tears were like arrows that had left the string.
Down……
Looking at such a scene, there was silence all around again, and the silence was a bit mysterious.
"What's going on?" A majestic female voice broke through the strange silence.
The Queen Mother was dressed in a graceful and luxurious dress. With the support of Mo Ya, she walked in vigorously. She glanced at everyone with a serious face, and finally focused on Yun Jingchu, as if she wanted to explore something.
Everyone knelt down quickly and said respectfully in unison: "I send my regards to the Queen Mother."
"Everyone, get up. What's going on? The Ai family can't understand." The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at Situ Yan. Finally, her eyes fell on Yu Wenyi. She was shocked when she noticed the tears on that beautiful face.
He shouted: "Yi'er, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Let the queen see who bullied you?"
This time, Yu Wenyi finally let go of Yun Jingchu's hand, threw herself into the Empress Dowager's arms, and choked with sobs: "The Empress..."
"Tell me, the Queen Mother will make the decision for you. Whoever bullies Yi'er, whom the Queen Mother loves the most, the Queen Mother will definitely not let him go..." The Queen Mother patted Yu Wenyi's back, her eyes full of distress, and whispered careful comfort.
road.
As soon as he said these words, Situ Yan beside him trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Yun Jingchu looked at Situ Yan with an imperceptible smile on her lips. In fact, in her previous life, the Queen Mother had always been very kind to Yu Wenyi. At that time, she had guessed that maybe it was because Yu Wenyi had no threat to Yu Wenrui.
, In addition, the late emperor doted on Yu Wenyi very much, so the queen mother loved Wujiwu. But now that the late emperor has died of illness, and Yu Wenrui has ascended the throne as emperor, the queen mother still treats Yu Wenyi like this, which makes her a little puzzled.
"It's the Empress." Yu Wenyi stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears, pointed his finger at Situ Yan without any pretense, bit his lower lip, and said pitifully: "The Empress bullied sister Jingchu, and also bullied me..."
Yu Wenyi added her name in front of his sister for the first time, hoping that the Queen Mother would know this name.
The Queen Mother immediately darkened her face and looked at Yun Jingchu. Knowing that she was from Concubine Hui's palace, she glanced at Concubine Hui and then said to Situ Yan: "Queen, do you have anything to say?"
Although the Queen Mother was serious, she had never been so angry. Everyone shuddered.
Situ Yan's face turned a little blue, but she still had the courage to report the whole matter to the Queen Mother. After all, so many people saw it, and it was really difficult to cover it up.
After the Queen Mother heard the whole story, she had her own thoughts in her heart, so she looked at Yun Jingchu and asked: "Yun Jingchu, is this true?"
After enduring Situ Yan's false accusation, Yun Jingchu clenched her fists, finally lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Back to the Queen Mother, what the Queen Mother said is not true..."
