Chapter 356: Did the Concubine Practice Iron Sand Palm Behind His Back?
"Oh my god!!! My God!!!"
The palace servants rushed forward quickly and hurriedly helped Concubine De up!
She had fainted, her gentle and beautiful face was covered in blood, and blood was still oozing out of her nostrils!
Qingdai was startled and quickly pressed a handkerchief against Concubine De's nose. She looked at the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair fiercely and said, "How do you do your job?! Don't you want to have your heads anymore?!"
The young eunuchs were almost crying with fear. They ignored the pain in their ankles and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Sister Qingdai, we really didn't mean it. It was just that our feet suddenly hurt..."
Now was not the time to pursue responsibility, so Qingdai had no choice but to appoint a few eunuchs again: "You guys, carry the queen back first. If anything goes wrong again, watch out for your heads!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the group left, the palace maid who was cleaning the palace path quietly picked up a few small stones on the ground.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian sat in the main seat, listening to Xiao Mingzi and Xiao Zhouzi vividly describing what was happening outside.
"…Your Highness, you didn't see the scene at that time. I heard from the palace maids that the Imperial Concubine was extremely brave. She grabbed the Virtuous Concubine's hair and almost broke her mouth!"
"…Your Majesty, when Consort De fell from the sedan chair, her face hit the ground first. It would be best if God had mercy on her and let her face be ruined. Then we will see how she can do evil in the harem in the future!"
Although it was tragic that Concubine De had ended up like this, it was all her own fault. No one present sympathized with her, but instead they all felt extremely happy!
Handan snorted coldly: "She deserves it for daring to plot against our queen and the heir!"
Shen Zhinian's eyes flashed with a smile, and he looked at Xiao Mingzi and Xiao Zhouzi: "You did a good job on this matter."
"Fuqiu, reward!"
The smiles on their faces grew even wider: "Thank you, Madam!"
Handan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, I have never seen a palace concubine more courageous than the Imperial Concubine!"
"But no matter what, Concubine De is also the mother of the Third Prince. If Concubine Gui rushed up and beat her up like this, will His Majesty not blame her when he finds out?"
Although they have always understood that the alliance between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine is only temporary, and the Imperial Concubine is still thinking about the child in the Queen's belly.
But at least when it comes to the matter of Concubine De, everyone is on the same front.
Shen Zhinian gently touched her belly, a dark light flashed in her eyes: "Do you really think that the Imperial Concubine can hold this position because she is a brainless and impulsive person?"
"On the contrary, by doing this, she not only completely avoided the trap set by Concubine De, but also made herself invincible."
"Just wait and see. Even if His Majesty has to punish the Imperial Concubine for the sake of the Third Prince's face, he will only give her a mild punishment."
Everyone was even happier: "If His Majesty really favors the Imperial Concubine so much, even if the Imperial Concubine De's nose didn't break this time, she would probably be furious!"
……
After hearing the palace maid from Chengqian Palace crying and telling what happened in Qianqiu Pavilion, everyone in Yangxin Palace was stunned!
Li Changde couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Concubine Wen had snatched away the emperor's favor, but Concubine Gui hadn't done anything too outrageous. He had thought that Concubine Gui had finally changed her nature.
Now it seems that the imperial concubine's hot temper has not changed at all.
If this was done by someone else, the emperor would definitely be furious, thinking how could there be such a presumptuous person in the harem!
However, the one who did it was Concubine Liu, and his first reaction was -
Given the imperial concubine's personality, it's not surprising at all that she would do such a thing.
Of course, Nangong Xuanyu would not say this out loud, and stood up and said, "I will go see Concubine De."
Li Changde followed behind, swinging his whisk and saying, "Let's go to Chengqian Palace!"
When the emperor's entourage arrived at the destination, the imperial physician had already treated Concubine De's wounds and she had woken up.
Most of Defei's face was wrapped in gauze, completely losing her previous delicate beauty and even looking a little scary.
Not to mention Li Changde was shocked, even the emperor was shocked!
"… Was this caused by the imperial concubine?"
He could beat someone like this with his bare hands. Could it be that the imperial concubine was practicing Iron Sand Palm behind his back?
Nangong Xuanyu was somewhat suspicious at this moment. It was Concubine De who deliberately made him like this and framed Concubine Gui...
Qing Dai choked up and said, "Your Majesty, on the way back from Qianqiu Pavilion, a few eunuchs carrying the sedan chair made a mistake and threw the queen. I have ordered people to arrest them."
Although this matter is suspicious, this is not the point. The point is to let His Majesty punish the Imperial Concubine!
"Your Majesty, today at Qianqiu Pavilion, the Queen was drinking tea and talking with several young ladies. When the Imperial Concubine came over, she gave everyone a warning and severely reprimanded our Queen!"
"Your Highness dared not disrespect the Imperial Concubine and was always respectful to her. But the Imperial Concubine used the excuse that Your Highness hurt her hair when she was pinning flowers on her head, and slapped Your Highness several times in public..."
"If this matter gets out, how will the queen and the third prince save their reputation? Please, Your Majesty, please make a decision for our queen!"
Defei lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Imperial Concubine is trying to accuse me of something, and she's always looking for excuses."
"I really don't know how I have offended the Imperial Concubine. Why would she find such a lame excuse to beat me up?"
"Is it because I gave birth to your Majesty's eldest son that the Imperial Concubine is so intolerant of me?"
"But what is the fault of the Third Prince, and what is the fault of this concubine?"
"Wow... If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in Gyeongbokgung Palace and not come out. At least I could have some peace..."
At this point, Concubine De struggled to stand up and wanted to kneel down before the emperor: "I am really scared. If this continues, the Imperial Concubine might take my life one day..."
"Your Majesty, please show mercy and allow me to take the Third Prince back to Gyeongbokgung Palace! From now on, my mother and I will never dare to offend the Imperial Concubine again!"
The emperor supported Concubine De: "Ridiculous!"
"The Third Prince is my son, and you are the Fourth Consort. How can you do this?"
Concubine De shuddered: "But the Imperial Concubine is so domineering, who wouldn't be afraid..."
The emperor frowned subconsciously.
The Imperial Concubine had served him for many years, and he thought he knew her personality very well. Although she had a hot temper, she was definitely not the type who would beat up a concubine over a disagreement.
It's not possible that she would be so cruel to Concubine De just because she didn't wear the flowers in her hair properly, right?
Is there something else going on in this matter that he doesn't know?
No matter what, Concubine De was indeed wronged, and the emperor comforted her, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
