Mu Ci suddenly took action without warning and slapped Zhao Ling hard on the face.
Zhao Ling was beaten until his eardrums buzzed, his face was in burning pain, and tears welled up in his eyes.
This was the first time since she entered the palace that she had been in such a state of embarrassment in front of the emperor, and it was also the first time that she had been slapped.
"Your biggest mistake is that you failed to discipline your servants. When dealing with a person, the Yi family has always been fair and aboveboard. That slap just now is a lesson to you. As a palace servant, you like to stir up trouble, so you are the master.
It’s not a fault of yours. After you return to Wuyou Palace, you should shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes, and think about what Aijia said.”
After slapping Zhao Ling, Mu Ci smiled again, as if the slap just now was not from her hand.
Zhao Ling still stood there in shock, forgetting how to react.
She couldn't figure out why she had no room to fight back the moment she faced Mu Ci in a battle where she had the initiative.
The most important thing was that the emperor was allowed to see her in such a miserable state, which was what she cared about the most.
"Still not grateful?" Mu Ci said softly.
Zhao Ling's legs were trembling slightly, and she was holding back tears: "I would like to thank you for your teachings."
"Okay, take your slaves and leave." Mu Ci said, his eyes fixed on Dugu Liancheng's face.
The emperor's expression didn't show anything, he probably just liked watching this farce.
In this way, Jin Qiu helped Zhao Ling out of Yong'an Palace.
Before they came to Yong'an Palace, they thought they could see Mu Ci's jokes, but in the end, they themselves became the jokes.
On the way, I met many people and saw the palm prints on Zhao Ling's face and Jin Qiu's swollen face. The news that Zhao Ling was beaten in Yong'an Palace soon spread throughout the palace.
After returning to Wuyou Palace, Jin Qiu endured the pain and knelt down in front of Zhao Ling to plead guilty: "We are all useless servants. Not only did we fail to protect the empress, but we also caused the empress to lose her face in front of the emperor."
Zhao Ling touched the swollen half of her face. She had regained her composure and replied in a low voice: "I don't blame you, I just blame Mu Ci for being ruthless. She clearly knew that I would complain to the emperor, so she waited for me
The palace threw herself into a trap, it’s ridiculous that I thought I could see her jokes!”
Speaking of this, she slammed her palm on the coffee table.
All of this was clearly calculated by Mu Ci. She actually thought she could embarrass Mu Ci, but in the end, she stepped into Mu Ci's trap without knowing it.
"Now that the Queen Mother's holy love is strong, I won't worry about not having the chance to avenge today's shame. It's a pity that the Queen Mother has the power of the harem, otherwise there is no need for the Queen Mother to act based on the Queen Mother's face." Jin Qiu touched the painful one of his own.
Face, he gritted his teeth with hatred towards Mu Ci.
In her opinion, her master was very scheming, but Mu Ci thought more carefully than her master, and could actually understand his master's thoughts. This was the most terrifying thing.
"The Holy Will is unpredictable. The Emperor has handed over the power of the harem to the Queen Mother. Can I still ask the Emperor to hand over the power of the harem to me?" Zhao Ling's eyes flashed slightly.
The emperor had been doting on her recently, but she was still confused and uneasy.
She was afraid that these loved ones would be like flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, disappearing at the last moment. Isn't Yun's a bloody example?
"We can think of a way to find fault with the Queen Mother. As long as the Emperor is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, the Emperor may take back the power of the harem. At that time, the Queen Mother will have the highest position in the harem, and it is natural for the Queen Mother to be in charge of the harem. What does the Queen Mother think?" Jin Qiu said,
Without stopping, he rubbed ointment on the master's face.
Such a beautiful face must not be ruined by Mu Ci.
"That's easy to say. Tell me how to find fault with the Queen Mother?" Zhao Ling looked directly at Jin Qiu.
"This...servant is stupid and can't think of anything, but the empress is smart and can definitely think of a way to deal with the Queen Mother." Jin Qiu made no secret of his admiration for his master.
Zhao Ling's eyes darkened and she said no more. She had to think carefully. She couldn't be beaten by Mu Ci every time. She didn't want to be beaten.
She made a mistake today, but she will not be defeated by Mu Ci forever.
Of course she has to take the right to control the harem from Mu Ci!
On the other hand, look at Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci dismissed Zhao Ling's master and servant, and then had time to look at Dugu Liancheng: "Concubine De has been wronged by the Ai family, why won't the emperor comfort Concubine De?"
Or is it that Dugu Liancheng wants to punish her more?
Dugu Liancheng stepped forward, grabbed Mu Ci's hand and looked at it. Seeing that her palm was a little red, he couldn't help but move forward and blew on her palm.
After he finished this action, he felt baffled, let alone Mu Ci.
The two of them just stared at each other, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
When Li Yu saw this scene, he understood the mood of Lord Long Live. He stepped forward to explain Mu Ci's doubts: "The emperor loves the jade palm of the empress. From now on, the heavy work of beating people can be left to the slaves. I can do it too."
To serve the queen."
Mu Ci was speechless for a moment.
Li Yu has been having a mental problem recently, so his words can be ignored.
"Concubine De has just come to the position. She is young and ignorant. Please be more patient. If she does something wrong, she can be taught a lesson. There is no need to spare any effort. But..." Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's palm, "This kind of hard work
, just leave it to the palace servants below."
Li Yu actually spoke the truth.
Why do you need to do it yourself when it comes to hitting someone? It's shameless to hurt others, but it's not worth it to hurt your own palm.
After hearing this, Mu Ci stared at Dugu Liancheng like a monster.
Under her glare, Dugu Liancheng lost his composure. He straightened his expression, coughed lightly and said, "I still have government affairs to deal with. I'll go back to Yanfu Palace first, and I'll see you again in the evening."
"If you are busy with government affairs, don't come here." As soon as Mu Ci said this, Dugu Liancheng's face turned as dark as coal.
He tossed his sleeves and left, while Li Yu rushed to Mu Ci anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, you are too ignorant of the style. If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak."
After saying that, he hurriedly chased after him.
The Queen Mother was the most incomprehensible woman he had ever seen. The Emperor clearly felt sorry for the Queen Mother. It was rare for her to show tenderness, but the Queen Mother was better. A single word could make the Emperor so angry.
On the way back to Yanfu Palace, Li Yu carefully accompanied her with a smile: "The one in Yong'an Palace has that kind of temperament. Your Majesty, please don't care about that empress. I have to say it like a slave. Just because of this, the empress is special enough."
."
Otherwise, there are so many beautiful and considerate women in the entire harem, why would the emperor be so fond of the Queen Mother?
"She's not special, it's just because I'm interested in her body that she feels confident." Dugu Liancheng retorted quietly.
Although he was a little angry at first, he has regained his composure.
It would be strange if Mu Ci didn't make him angry one day.
