"Ah Yin," Xiao Tuanzi raised his chin and looked down at the silver snake on the ground, "So, are you going to find your mother or not?"
Ah Yin trembled, he raised his head and looked at Xiaotuanzi, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the house.
…
In the Royal Garden.
The queen was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a slight smile on her lips as she walked slowly forward.
Behind her, a group of palace maids and eunuchs followed closely, clustering behind her.
At this moment, the queen stopped and stood in the flowers.
Standing in front of the queen was a sickly beauty, with a weak willow in the wind, a slender waist, and a soft face with a bit of morbid beauty.
The queen's eyes narrowed, she was the princess of the Western Dynasty.
This jade concubine has been in the palace for several years, but because of her poor health, His Majesty took pity on her and rarely invited her to sleep with her. However, because of her status as a princess of the Western Dynasty, His Majesty never treated her badly.
It's just that this jade concubine never likes to leave the palace, so why does she appear in this place now?
The queen's eyes were cold, and there was obviously some displeasure on her face.
The old nun behind her saw the queen's downcast face, hurriedly stepped forward and scolded: "Jade Concubine, why don't you bow to the queen when you see her?"
Concubine Jade was startled. She just wanted to go out to relax today and never thought she would meet the queen.
She bent down and saluted, her voice weak and feeble: "See the Queen."
The Queen looked at Concubine Jade with cold eyes. This Concubine had been in the palace for many years and had only given birth to a little prince. Originally, a concubine who would lose her life at some point was not worth her words and thoughts.
But the Queen understands that in this harem, Concubine Jade is a special existence to Your Majesty.
His Majesty did not allow her to sleep with her because he was afraid of hurting her body, but he never forgot to visit her.
Even if the other party is a princess of the Western Dynasty, if he doesn't have any love for her, he can just keep her and don't need to visit her, let alone spend time trying to please her.
A wave of jealousy surged into the queen's heart. She looked at the jade concubine becoming more and more displeased, and her eyes became colder.
"Concubine Jade, is that all you need to do to bow to me?"
Concubine Yu was startled and lowered her eyes.
There is a ritual of kneeling down in the palace, but because of her body, His Majesty exempted her from the ritual of kneeling down. Just ordinary etiquette is enough.
"The Queen, my wife is not feeling well, I'm afraid..."
"Come here, give me a slap!" The queen's eyes darkened and she shouted sternly, "I am talking to Concubine Jade. When did I end up letting a servant interrupt me? Give me a slap!"
"yes."
Immediately, two old ladies came forward, grabbed the palace maid behind Concubine Yu, and slapped her hard on the face.
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down, trembling all over, but did not dare to make a sound.
Seeing the palace maid being carried down and slapped on the mouth, Concubine Yu's heart was tugged hard, and a flash of unbearability flashed in her eyes: "The queen, she also feels sorry for my concubine, my concubine..."
"I am a queen, am I not qualified to teach a palace maid a lesson?" The queen sneered again and again. She wanted to see how long this jade concubine could endure.
Concubine Jade clenched her fists tightly, her already white face was losing color even more, and her eyes were full of grief.
This palace maid was brought by her from the Western Dynasty.
It is also her only family in this place...
Concubine Yu closed her eyes in pain, and the crisp slap sounded like a slap on her face, making her heart tremble...
If she had not entered the palace, her condition would not have become more serious in this dark palace.
If she hadn't entered the palace, would she have been able to marry her childhood sweetheart, and wouldn't have been depressed every day?
But nothing happens if...
At that time, the Western Dynasty was not strong enough, so for the sake of the country, my father had to dedicate her to the peace of the two countries.
It was also she who chose to leave her hometown, just to fight for a glimmer of life for the people in her hometown.
Poof!
Concubine Jade spurted out a mouthful of blood, and her body fell backwards...
The queen was dumbfounded and stared blankly at Concubine Jade who fell to the ground, her whole head buzzing.
She just taught a palace maid a lesson, why did Concubine Jade fall? She hadn't even punished her yet?
"Empress!"
When the palace maid saw Concubine Yu falling down, she hurriedly got up from the ground, threw herself at Concubine Yu with her mouth full of blood, and hugged her broken body: "Go and ask the imperial doctor quickly, go quickly!"
Her voice was filled with tears and heartbreaking despair...
The queen's body froze, a coldness ran from the soles of her feet to her heart, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.
Today's Western Dynasty is no longer a Western Dynasty that can be manipulated by others.
I heard that Xi Chao held her in his arms a few years ago, and that's why she became what she is today, so Princess Xi Chao is not the kind of person who can be bullied.
but……
The queen turned her head stiffly: "I just punished a palace maid, without even moving a finger on her. This has nothing to do with me. I am the queen, so what's wrong with punishing a palace maid?"
Yes, she did nothing wrong! It is impossible for His Majesty to punish her.
The queen is not that kind of stupid person. It is impossible to really do anything to the princess of the Western Dynasty, so she took the operation on the palace maid. The princess of the Western Dynasty vomited blood because she was in poor health, and it had nothing to do with her.
When His Majesty asked, she had something to say.
"Carry her into the palace first," the queen calmed down and ordered calmly, "then find an imperial doctor to take a look at her. I see that this jade concubine's body is really weak. She obviously can't catch cold, so why bother?
Let her come out? It’s all your Xiyu Palace’s responsibility.”
In one sentence, the responsibility is completely transferred.
The reason why Concubine Jade was like this was because she caught a cold, and it had nothing to do with her punishing the palace maid.
