Concubine Nian was sitting, but when she saw Rouge turning his eyes towards her for help, she glanced sternly and immediately turned her body unnaturally to one side to avoid Rouge's sight.
She lowered her head and just drank tea.
Although it was just a small move, Yanzhi immediately understood that there was no hope for him to seek help!
Rouge's eyes darkened, and there was despair in her eyes. She swayed and knelt down weakly on the ground. Then she heard Concubine Ning suddenly interjecting: "This slave has such an evil smell on his body, and he dares to come to Kunning Palace.
It's really impudent to defile the Queen's Nuan Pavilion! But...".
Concubine Ning paused, then turned her eyes and glanced at Ji Ling, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
There was a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, and she said clearly and crisply: "The fault of this slave is probably due to the incompetence of the master! He failed to discipline and discipline him properly. This slave has violated the palace rules, can his master just ignore him?"
, don’t you have any responsibility at all?”.
She turned to look at Ji Ling.
Zhang Guiren was sitting at the side of Yonghe Palace. Although he followed Concubine Ning and sat under her, he leaned forward slightly at this time, leaning towards Ji Ling, with a worried look in his eyes.
A small Hunan-colored silk handkerchief was held tightly in Zhang Guiren's hand, clenched into a ball, kneaded for a long time, and then let go.
Ji Ling raised her head, looked at Concubine Ning without hesitation, nodded and said softly: "What Concubine Ning said makes sense."
Concubine Ning was startled and saw that although Ji Guiren's eyes were full of smiles at the moment, the smile was like the sunlight shining through the window, leaking into the fingers and palms. Although it could be seen, it could not be grasped.
She recalled what happened in front of Yikun Palace during the last birthday party of Concubine Nian, and her starry eyes narrowed slightly.
Ji Ling calmly walked to the middle of the Nuan Pavilion, bowed to the Queen, and said: "Queen, Concubine Ning just said that Yan Zhi made a mistake because I, the master, didn't control it properly. So I asked for it myself."
be punished!".
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and curtsied.
The queen frowned and said: "Ji Guiji got up first."
Ji Ling stood up and said loudly: "However, before punishing me, please allow me to ask Concubine Ning a few words."
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes."
Ji Ling turned around, looked at Concubine Ning, and said seriously: "As Concubine Ning said, when the servants make mistakes, it is because of my lack of discipline; then, I would like to ask Concubine Ning: Since I am a Jingyang Palace
If she doesn’t know how to control her servants, should the concubine Mao Concubine, the master of Jingyang Palace, bear the responsibility for not teaching her concubine seriously?”
She paused and said: "As the head of the first palace, Concubine Mao does not know how to teach the nobles on the side. Whose fault is this? According to what Concubine Ning just said, is it possible?
...", she said this and stopped talking.
As Maobi is the head of the first palace, the person who controls her is naturally the empress of the middle palace.
Concubine Yu was holding a tea cup and her eyes were wandering around, as if watching the excitement.
The queen's eyes glanced at Concubine Ning seriously.
Concubine Ning was so excited that she immediately stood up, knelt down to the queen, and said with an awkward smile: "Concubine, that's not what I meant!".
The queen said calmly: "If that's not what you mean, just stop talking!".
Concubine Yu looked around, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Ning, when did the Queen say you meant this? But a mere ignorant servant, since he is disrespectful to the Queen, he quickly dragged him out of the palace.
Just put twenty sticks on the door! What does the Queen think?"
Before the queen could say anything, Rouge was already frightened out of her mind. The palace maid was beaten and it was embarrassing to take off her pants. Twenty sticks were enough to break a leg. If she was unlucky, she might even lose her life.
She kowtowed her head heavily on the ground as if pounding garlic, and said in a trembling voice: "Empress, my servant has been wronged! I have been wronged! Your Majesty, you don't know. This bowl of fish noodles was a reward for the noble nobleman when he had dinner this morning.
Give it to me, I really didn’t mean to offend the Queen!"
She looked at the Empress eagerly and argued: "I'm still thinking, why did Lord Ji suddenly praise me? Not only did he give me food, but he also brought me to Kunning Palace to pay my respects to the Queen. Who knows what Lord Ji was thinking?"
That’s how it is!”.
Qixi couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Rouge! Master has tolerated you many times, but you still accuse me falsely!".
Yanzhi ignored her and just said in a string of words: "Ji Guiji, I know that I will not serve you as long as Sister Qixi and the others, but I am also loyal to you! Why do you want to plot against me like this!".
Ji Ling said seriously: "A plan?"
Who is plotting? Who is being plotted?
She raised her head and sighed, paused, and said word by word: "You said that I was the one who rewarded you with the fish noodles, which is indeed true. But if you keep to yourself and focus on serving the master honestly, you will naturally be able to
Remembering the palace rules, how could you not think that the smell of fish is a sign of conflict with the master?"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the seat.
Yanzhi grabbed the lapel on her chest and cried miserably: "This slave is loyal and has served you, the noble. I never expected that the noble would turn his back on me like this!" As she said this, she fiercely grabbed Ji Ling's flag.
Attach hem.
Qixi stepped forward and tried to pull her hand away, but Yanzhi held on to Ji Ling's skirt tightly, and her nails dug into the flower pattern of the flag dress, pulling every piece of flower pattern to pieces.
It opened, and the silver embroidered short velvet threads were scattered all over the floor.
Qixi gritted her teeth and scolded: "Let go!".
She moved closer to Rouge and said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Last night, Xiao Fenzi followed you back and forth, but you were very tired!"
Rouge's hands trembled, and she realized that Ji Ling had already realized that she was the eyes and ears of Yikun Palace. Her eyes finally lost the fierceness, she let go of her hands dejectedly, and fell to the ground exhausted.
Concubine Yu took one look at the queen's face, took several pictures, and urged and cursed the slaves: "Bring her out quickly! How can this crazy slave behave in front of the queen?"
There were young eunuchs coming up from the left and right. Now, one on each side, like a wolf, picked up Yan Zhi's left and right arms. Yan Zhi was heartbroken and looked up at Concubine Nian. He was about to shout "Empress, save the slave!".
Concubine Nian's face tightened, and the palace maid Zhuyu next to her had already rushed forward, stuffed a coarse cloth handkerchief into Rouge's mouth, and said to the two little eunuchs: "It's so noisy! Drag it out quickly, don't let it go.
The empress has a headache after hearing this.”
After saying that, she walked back to the concubine Nian, as if she was deliberately explaining to everyone, and said with a forced smile: "My queen, you drank a few too many drinks at the birthday party yesterday, and your head hurts until now. I know you can't stand this.
Noisy!".
Seeing that Rouge was about to be dragged out, Ji Ling suddenly walked quickly to the Queen, knelt down and said: "Queen, please wait a moment!"
