The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 139: Boring Loss

Aunt Mingyue suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to recall with Qin Liuse the people and events she met today, as well as the concubines living nearby.

This place is just past the Four Seasons Garden. Concubine Wen lives nearby. There are actually quite a few concubines surrounding the Four Seasons Garden.

Qin Liuse shook her head. Although this road was the only way for her to return to Shu Yuexuan, others could also take it.

The person who wanted to harm her in secret was thinking of this, so he made his move here. With such a "coincidence", who could have guessed that it was her who walked onto the wooden bridge?

Who could have designed it so accurately that the wooden board broke right under her feet?

Such unpredictable coincidences can all serve as an excuse for the mastermind behind the scenes.

Aunt Mingyue asked, "Are we just going to suffer this loss?"

Of course, the loss could not be in vain, otherwise Qin Liuse would not be so embarrassed, not asking Mingyue Qingqing to help her up, and deliberately waiting here for someone.

Qin Liuse and Aunt Mingyue said, "Of course not. Since they have delivered it to our door, we will accept it."

What Qin Liuse meant was that this matter had to be made a big deal and even Emperor Yongjia knew about it.

She couldn't check it because the water was so deep and too many people would be needed, and she wasn't mature enough to do so.

So if we want to investigate, we naturally have to wait for Emperor Yongjia to investigate.

On the other side, Qingqing was in a hurry. After receiving Qin Liuse's instructions and meaning, she hurried to the crowded place to call people.

But just as I walked into the Four Seasons Garden and turned a corner, I didn't see someone coming from the Moon Gate, and with a "bang", I bumped into the person.

"Rude servant, where are your eyes? Didn't you see our beauty? You bumped into our beauty, let me see if you deserve a beating!"

In the chaos, Qingqing looked up and saw that the person she bumped into was Lady Wen.

She left in a hurry and didn't see anyone here.

At this moment, this beautiful lady Wen was holding her stomach, looking as if it was about to be broken.

Qingqing knew that she was probably pretending. She hadn't served the emperor for so long that she might have thought he was pregnant too.

Fortunately, this girl was just released from the ban not long ago, otherwise if she had been pampered all the time, Qingqing would really be afraid that the baby in her belly would be eaten away by her.

Qingqing was already anxious, and now that she had run into a noble person, she naturally felt even more embarrassed.

She was not in the right in this matter, so when Qingqing saw who was coming, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, Lady Wen. Our Zhaoyi fell on the bridge behind, and I was in a hurry to call for someone to carry the sedan chair over, so I was confused and didn't see you. Please forgive me."

"What does it have to do with me if your master fell down? It's a collision, so it is a collision." Lady Wen spoke with disdain. She already disliked Qin Liuse in her heart.

But on normal days, Qin Liuse's position was higher than hers, so she had to humble herself. Now that she had this opportunity, and it was Qingqing who bumped into her first, she naturally wanted to vent her anger.

"This palace is not a stone path for climbing mountains. You can't just fall if you fall. If you fall, just get up and walk. If you can't walk, just wait a little longer." Lady Wen obviously didn't believe Qingqing's words. She just thought that Qingqing was exaggerating in order to escape punishment.

When Qingqing heard her tone, she felt unsure. Thinking of her own Zhaoyi who was still waiting for her, she choked up and said, "My lady, everything I said is true. If you lie, I will die a miserable death! My Zhaoyi is on the bridge leading to Shuyuexuan after leaving Four Seasons Garden. She is still waiting for me..."

Lady Wen didn't even look at her, she just said, "You're such a talker, it was obviously you who bumped into me first, and this matter isn't over yet, and you want to run away."

Qingqing kowtowed to her with red eyes, "I didn't lie to you, and I didn't want to run away. Please, can you wait for me to ask someone to come over before I come to you to accept the punishment?"

Lady Wen sneered twice, "Hehe, do you mean that I still have to wait here for you, a dog slave?"

Qingqing didn't know how Lady Wen could misinterpret her every word. How could she dare to let her master wait for her? "Your servant, your servant will wait a moment. I will go and accept the punishment myself. Please forgive me, Lady!"

For a moment, the maidservant following Lady Wen also started to speak in a sarcastic tone, urging Lady Wen to slap Qingqing on the mouth.

Lady Wen glanced at the maid next to her, and immediately one of the maids came over, pinched Qingqing's chin, and slapped her twice.

Although Qingqing felt a burning pain on her face, she was thinking about her master.

She endured these slaps. If Lady Wen wanted to punish her again, she was ready to cut off the source of the problem. There were only a few people around, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to rush out. She could go and call for help first, and then come back to accept the punishment.

Her master was Qin Zhaoyi, not this Concubine Wen. No matter how severely she was punished, she would not die. At most she would lie in bed for ten days or half a month, or even lose half her life. It was better than her master suffering.

Sure enough, after the two slaps, Lady Wen still showed no intention of letting it go.

Just as Qingqing was pressing the ground to find the right direction and preparing to run away, she heard someone's voice coming from behind, "Sister, calm down. I came from outside and did see Qin Zhaoyi fall on the bridge."

When Qingqing first heard the voice, she thought something was wrong and that she couldn't escape. Unexpectedly, the person's voice seemed to be speaking for her.

Qingqing looked to the side and saw Concubine Lan behind her, leading her maid to the side of Concubine Wen.

She remembered that this talented lady Lan seemed to be from Concubine Wen's palace.

Lan Cairen looked anxious. She glanced at Qingqing and said to Wen Meiren, "It was her fault that this servant bumped into my sister, but Qin Zhaoyi is still waiting there. If something really happened, we, as the ones who knew about it, would be blamed by the emperor and we would be to blame."

Lady Wen gritted her teeth, thinking that this Lan Cairen was really too talkative. He dragged her into this matter with just one sentence. If she hadn't said these things, how would she know and how would she be blamed?

But now that Lan Cairen said this, she really felt put in a difficult position.

Lady Wen was unwilling to do so. Seeing this, Lady Lan looked at Qingqing who was kneeling in front of her and said, "Go and get someone to help quickly. No one can afford to be blamed by the emperor. After you get someone to help, come back to Lady Wen to accept the punishment."

When Qingqing heard this, she endured the pain, quickly got up, and ran away like the wind.

--

The people Qingqing invited arrived later than expected, but there were quite a few people from the Imperial Hospital and those who came in sedan chairs. Qin Liuse glanced at the red marks on Qingqing's face and did not ask any more questions for the time being.

Qin Liuse was carried back to Shuyuexuan, and Zhu Wanxi came. He came in to take a look, asked the imperial physician about the situation, and then said to Qin Liuse, "Zhaoyi was frightened. The emperor asked Zhaoyi to take good care of herself. He will come to see Zhaoyi when he is free at night."

Qin Liuse nodded and said a few words to Zhu Wanxi.

It was true that she wanted to attract the attention of Emperor Yongjia, but she did not expect that Emperor Yongjia would come.

It seems that she made the right move.
