The hall was extremely quiet, and I heard Hai Guiren crying: "Queen, after I used my usual moisturizing balm last night, not long after, the skin on my neck became red and itchy. I scratched it a little."
Just scratch it, so many little bumps have appeared! Look, my queen!", she said as she unbuttoned the collar of her dress, walked forward on her knees, and showed it in front of the queen.
The queen glanced at it, immediately turned away, frowned slightly, and said: "You are so confused! If you don't hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose this situation, if the delay is delayed and the skin is completely destroyed, how can you serve the emperor in the future?"
After talking, Hai Guiren burst into tears and said: "Empress, please make the decision for me! You must know that the people who take care of the rouge and gouache I use on daily basis are palace maid mice. She is the old servant of Empress Mao.
!Obviously someone was jealous when they saw that I was young and favored, so they did this to me!"
The queen raised her hand and said: "My lord Hai, please get up first. Sit down and talk." She turned to the eldest lady Huarong beside her and said: "Hel your lord Hai, get up." The maid stepped forward, supported the noble lord Hai and spoke softly.
He said: "My lord, please get up." He then helped Hai Guiren sit down on the rosewood chair next to him. Hai Guiren was still sobbing.
The queen said solemnly: "Who is the mouse?".
As soon as she finished speaking, the two eunuchs who were guarding Mouse quickly pushed her forward to the ground. Mouse struggled to raise his head. Knowing that he was the Queen in front of him, he kowtowed and said: "Slave Mouse, pay your respects to the Queen!
The slave is wronged!".
The queen didn't speak, and the eldest palace maid Hua Rong beside her said sternly: "How outrageous! The queen didn't speak. Is this a place where you, a slave, can defend yourself at will?".
The mouse did not dare to speak anymore and just shed tears silently.
The Empress said: "I would like to ask you, are you the one who takes care of Hai Guiren's rouge and gouache on weekdays?".
The mouse nodded and said: "Back to the Queen, the rouge and gouache that Haigui Ren usually wears are indeed taken care of by one servant."
The queen nodded and said, "Tonight when you were giving this moisturizing balm to Mr. Hai, did you touch anyone on the way? Was there anything that interrupted you?"
Mouse raised his head slightly, thought seriously for a long time, shook his head honestly and said: "Back to the Queen, I don't deal with other people."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I heard that you were Maobin's old servant. How did Maobin treat you?"
Mouse rested his head on the cold floor tiles, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "This slave was originally a rough-and-tumble servant around Empress Maobin. I was not lucky enough to be with Empress Maobin all the time. However, she is kind-hearted and is very kind to her.
The servants have always been generous and caring, and they naturally treat the slaves as well."
The Queen Empress picked up the tea cup and took a sip. A pair of bright moons kept shaking by her ears. She swallowed the tea, put down the tea cup, and then said slowly: "So, how does Mr. Hai treat you?".
The eyes of the mouse suddenly turned red. He looked up at Hai Guiren and then at the Queen. He just bit his lip and said nothing.
Hua Rong urged: "Whatever the Queen asks you, just answer it."
The mouse still didn't speak, blinked his eyes, and a big tear rolled down.
Concubine Ning stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Queen, please forgive me for talking too much."
The queen glanced at Concubine Ning and said, "Concubine Ning, it's okay to say so."
Concubine Ning stepped forward and grabbed Mouse's bony arm, suddenly lifted her sleeves up, and said: "Queen, please look! This is the 'goodness' of Hai Guiren to Mouse!".
In the front hall of Kunning Palace, several candles as thick as an arm were lit, illuminating the palace as if it were daytime. At this time, everyone looked and saw that the mice's arms were criss-crossed, red, swollen, purple, and stained with blood. It was obvious that
They are all signs of abuse.
Concubine Ning held her hand again and sent it forward: "Queen, please see, this slave's fingers are cracked and his nails are chipped. It's all because Mr. Hai used his flowerpot-soled shoes to trample and grind on it tonight.
He also used a hairpin to prick the slave's arm. These are just the scars from tonight, and there are many more that cannot be seen! Haigui's heart is ruthless, it can be seen from this!".
Hai Guiren's face turned cold, and he pointed at Concubine Ning and said: "Concubine Ning, I know that you are on good terms with Concubine Maobin, but there is no need to smear me like this just to protect her! Who knows if this is the dog?
Where is the slave’s plan to kill people?”.
Concubine Ning sneered and said: "The trick? Lord Kui Hai can tell it. If this child had such scheming intentions, he would not be tortured like this!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and spread her hands to everyone, Lang Lang: "Today
Everyone can testify to what happened in the atrium of Jingyang Palace in the evening!"
She spoke loudly and resoundingly: "His Majesty Hai, when you are facing me, you don't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and you wantonly frame your concubines; while you are mean and vicious, and you want to kill people. My lord Hai, it's not a big deal if a slave dies, but I want to take the place of the queen."
I would like to ask you, does the Queen have the final say in this harem, or do you?"
Hai Guiren's face turned pale, and he pointed at Concubine Ning with trembling hands: "You...you...", he muttered several words, but could not utter a word.
Concubine Ning turned around again and said: "Empress, I have some free time tonight after the snow, so I went to find Mao Bi and wanted to borrow some books to pass the long night. Who knew that the concubines were chatting in the main hall of Jingyang Palace when they heard
Hai Guiren was so powerful and majestic that she not only tortured her, but also stripped her clothes and humiliated her. Worried about her life, the Empress Mao Bi put on her clothes and went out to check. She wanted to persuade Hai Guiren to go back, but she almost pushed him to the ground.
Honestly, the concubine couldn't stand it, so she came out and said a few words. Unexpectedly, Hai Guiren frowned and insisted on coming to Kunning Palace to explain it. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Maobin's palace maid Jasmine and said, "Yes or no?".
Jasmine stood out from the crowd, knelt down and said: "Empress, what Concubine Ning said is true! When our empress saw Hai Guiren standing in the snow, we were worried that she would catch the cold, so we kindly advised her to go back and rest first, and quickly
I called the imperial doctor to see me, but unexpectedly, I was pushed hard by the nobleman Hai. If the servant hadn't been quick-sighted and quick-handed, I would have fallen into the snow. You must know that the queen's body has always been weak..." She said this and felt angry again.
He was angry and incoherent.
Hai Guiren stamped his feet and said: "You are Mao Bi's personal maid. Naturally, the master and servant are of the same mind, and you come to frame me with false accusations!".
At this time, Mao Bi whispered: "Sister Hai, I didn't want to disturb the Queen's peace, but you are forcing me to do so. It's not that I colluded with my old servant and ordered the poisoning; I am old and beautiful, and I have to take care of myself."
I know that I have no face to serve the Holy Lord, and I am not abandoned by the Emperor and the Empress. I think about the past years and make my concubine live in peace. I usually only worship Buddha, recite sutras, and read lightly. If I say that at this age, I am still jealous of my sister,
Competing with my sister for favor, so poisoning to disfigure my sister is really funny!"
She turned around and knelt down to the empress and said: "I am approaching old age and I am really weak, but I hope that the sisters in Jingyang Palace can be harmonious and harmonious so as not to cause trouble to the emperor and the empress. Mr. Hai is young and energetic, and I have been doing more on weekdays."
Bear with me, I really don’t know why Mr. Hai wants to force me to this point!" She shed tears as she spoke.
