Chapter 223 The Imperial Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 12

This is the result Tao Ran wants.

One, let Ye Ruqiu suffer a little with the Queen's help. Second, it would be difficult for her and the emperor to hide easily. Third, let the queen have no doubt about the existence of third-party forces, so that she can truly cooperate with herself sooner...

Quite a success!

Outside, Ye Ruqiu was shivering. This is really scary.

It was natural for the queen to punish her. As for the reason, wasn't it also high-sounding? What's wrong?

"Queen, my concubines are wronged!"

Twenty boards? Ye Ruqiu was frightened. With her body and bones, even if she was twenty feet old, she would be disabled, and she would be unable to get out of bed for at least several months. How can that work! She is someone who wants to do big things, how can she be folded into a bowl of soup! Moreover, her original plan was to give birth to a son in the next two years, so she couldn't let the root cause of her disease get lost!

"Your Majesty, please show some mercy." She knelt down and kowtowed, extremely sincerely.

"How dare you make a noise! ​​Come here! Slap her first! Let's see if she can shut up!"

"yes!"

Bai Ling stepped forward, and as soon as he slapped her, Ye Ruqiu's palace maid Qin'er stepped in and said, "My little master is delicate and frail and cannot withstand the beating. Queen, I am willing to take the punishment for my little master, please forgive me." Pass my little master!"

The queen was angry again.

"What! I can't speak well? Another person who dares to disobey me! What a noble Qiu, this is the slave you taught! If the master talks, what will happen to the slave? If you want to be beaten, then talk to your master Let’s get together! Come on! Let me be punished together!”

Qin'er was slapped, still crying and begging for mercy, begging her little master to forgive her over and over again.

"You are stubborn and stubborn. You still dare to contradict me! Why are you still standing there in a daze? Go and get ready to slap Mr. Qiu!"

Ye Ruqiu was also slapped one after another.

Her self-esteem was beaten to pieces.

She gritted her teeth, and the light in her eyes flickered.

She really wanted to endure the humiliation and take it as an experience.

But she really didn't want to bear the grievance of such a slap in the face! Even if she can rise to power in the future, today's humiliation cannot be washed away. It is a lifelong mark, a stain that will make people laugh for a lifetime! Queen Chen! He originally planned to spare her life, but now it seems that he must kill her! No, make her into a human pig and make her regret what she did today forever! …

In just a short time, Ye Ruqiu, who had been slapped multiple times, had her hair disheveled, her cheeks were swollen, and she was miserable.

"Queen, I was wrong to concubine, please spare me." Ye Ruqiu could only relent, "I will be careful in my words and deeds from now on, I will definitely..."

"It's too late!" Empress Chen really wanted to take this noble Qiu to her palace for interrogation, but now there are many people in the imperial concubine's palace, so instead of going to all the trouble to let the people behind the scenes know that she has suspicions, she still It is better to cooperate with the imperial concubine and hide in the dark.

Then this Qiu Guiren will consider her unlucky. It’s also a warning!

"Hit me!" The queen waved her hand.

Unexpectedly, Qin'er, who had just been slapped, pounced on her mistress again, saying bluntly that if she wanted to touch her mistress, it would be better to beat her to death first.

The queen's expression changed again: "I never expected that Lord Qiu would have such a loyal servant! What a cheap servant, where do you think this palace is, where you can die how you want? You did it again and again. And you are disobedient to me. Where do you put me and the rules of the palace? You don’t have to die. Someone, send this bitch to the clothes bureau and give her forty boards! Beat her hard! !”

Go down forty big boards and keep her half-dead!

Then Qin'er was dragged away like this.

The queen once again gave the order to let Qiu Guiren take the blame. Unexpectedly, this time, a young eunuch appeared out of nowhere and knelt down to beg for a lighter sentence.

The queen has been handling palace affairs for so many years, but this is the first time that she has to deal with a concubine so hard!

She turned around and looked at Tao Ran.

The look in their eyes means the same thing: Qiu Guiren is not simple!

Knowing that the queen was already angry, those servants still rushed up to protect her one by one. There was only one possibility - she was delaying time by bringing in reinforcements.

The queen's interest also grew.

She also wanted to see which Buddha this noble Qiu could move!

As a result, the following young eunuchs were also punished.

Not only that, the queen also made a big show of dragging the person to the outside of Yikun Palace.

She gave another order and spread the news that the Qiu nobleman and his servants had rebelled against the queen and the noble concubine and made a big fuss in Yikun Palace.

Intentional communication is naturally fast.

Not long after, everyone in the harem who had nothing to do began to gather in the direction of Yikun Palace. Especially those concubines, they are running very fast now. When they heard that the queen and the concubine were facing each other, they had a premonition that there would be a good show, but no, the show was coming!

However, being able to offend both the queen and the noble concubine at the same time is such a great skill for Qiu Guijun!

And when two slaves were dismissed one after another, and when it was Ye Ruqiu's turn to cry and beg to be dragged away to hit the board, the reinforcements finally arrived.

"stop!"

Accompanying this powerful call to stop was the announcement from the chamberlain, "The Emperor has arrived——".

The queen and the concubine looked at each other again, each seeing the surprise in the other's eyes.

Tao Ran quickly stood up, dragging her frail body like a willow to the wind, and moved to the entrance of the palace with help.

"I didn't expect that..." She sighed quietly, naturally she wanted to tell the queen.

The queen was also gasping for air.

Yeah, who would have thought?

Such an inconspicuous little nobleman with a low status, a poor family background, and no extraordinary qualities from head to toe, was working for the emperor!

Who doesn't know that the emperor has already gone to the palace of concubine Yu? Which concubine wouldn't use all her strength when faced with such an opportunity? If I remember correctly, if Concubine Yu is not favored, she will definitely pester the emperor.

Could it be that out of affection, Concubine Yu asked the emperor to help?

impossible! The emperor is ruthless and is never someone who can be easily moved! If it wasn't for the emperor's intention, he would never come to help an inconspicuous little nobleman!

In addition, Yu's Concubine Palace is not close to here, and it would take at least half a cup of tea to get there. However, the emperor came so quickly! Unreasonable!

Look, the emperor's sullen expression, the queen's sneer, he didn't know anything but stared at her! Look again, the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, the eunuch behind him panting, they are in a hurry! in a hurry?

The queen suddenly remembered something. Although Ye Ruqiu was not favored, she never seemed to lose her favor. If I remember correctly, although she did not visit her frequently, the emperor seemed to visit her palace every once in a while? Wait, is she the only one who lives in her palace? Her palace is biased, but the emperor is willing to go that far again and again?

Really take it lightly! Because Qiu Guiren was too inconspicuous, she had no part in greeting her in the past. She would stay behind during occasional banquets. She never showed up when something happened, so even the queen never paid attention to her.

Then I thought about the fact that when my aunt came over today, the person who came forward to invite the emperor was Qiu Guiren... which also shows her relationship with the emperor.

So...so...

The queen shuddered.

So, Qiu Guiren is the silent third party who is eyeing him and the imperial concubine? And the emperor is still... very interested in her?

No no no!

There is also a possibility, could it be that Qiu Gui and the emperor... are of the same faction?

can you? Yeah?

In just two breaths of time, the Queen's mind was already spinning a thousand times.

And Yu Tong was also beside her, smiling bitterly: "Sister, the water in this palace is probably deeper than we thought?"

"What my sister said is indeed possible."
