The cleaned blood was sent out in basins.
Concubine Qu's expression also looked very ugly, but she still held Qu Moying's hand and patted her hand soothingly.
Not only did the imperial physician come, but the Empress did as well. She treated Concubine Li at Concubine Qu's place nearby. However, it was not clear at first glance that the situation was good. Concubine Ji's screams and cries could be heard from inside from time to time.
The people guarding outside were all terrified and felt inexplicably scared.
Sitting in the first seat was the Queen Mother, and her face looked very bad. The situation was unclear at the moment, so she could only wait for the imperial physician to examine her before coming out.
The main hall is very quiet.
Finally, the imperial physician came out, his face slightly pale and his expression serious.
After paying respects to the Empress who was sitting high above, he reported to her: "Empress, I'm afraid Concubine Li's face will be seriously injured."
Does this mean disfigurement
The Queen's face darkened: "Is the injury so serious?"
"The injury was already quite serious to begin with, and then he used some ineffective medicines, which made the wound worse. Even after taking the medicine, it's no use!" The imperial physician shook his head and said helplessly.
The medicine seeped into the wound and mixed with the blood. Now it was just the medicine powder that was used to clean the wound, but it had already seeped into the wound, making the situation worse. Lady Li's appearance was ruined.
In fact, even without this medicine powder, the previous injuries would not be easy to heal. The imperial physician has already seen that the previous scratches were not shallow and the cat's claws were very sharp.
"What is going on?" The Queen Mother looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground and asked. These were Concubine Li's palace servants.
"Empress, it's Fourth Miss Qu. It's Fourth Miss Qu who wants to harm our beauty." The eunuch who looked like the chief steward beside Concubine Li knelt first. When he heard the Empress' question, he pointed at Qu Moying and said in a sharp voice.
The palace servants who followed him also spoke up, all pointing at Qu Moying.
None of them could afford to take responsibility for something like this. If they didn't push the blame onto Qu Moying, they would have no chance of survival.
Concubine Qu frowned. She had just asked Qu Moying privately. Now that she saw the palace maids in Concubine Li's palace pointing at her like this, her face immediately turned ugly.
Another person with an equally grim expression was Qu Qiuyan, who was also sitting next to Concubine Qu, and her face was as pale as snow.
In fact, her face looked ugly not just now. When she saw Qu Moying appear in good health, her face looked ugly until now.
Qingju, who was standing behind her, was staggering, and her whole body was still shaking.
"Miss Qu Si, can you tell us what happened?" The Queen turned to Qu Moying and asked coldly.
Qu Moying was about to speak when she saw Concubine Qu reaching out and pressing her hand: "Can the Queen ask someone to interrogate them separately and ask them about their circumstances at the time?"
Only by asking them separately can we get the answer clearly and avoid collusion among them. Compared with Qu Moying, there are too many people around Concubine Li.
At this moment, everyone wants to put the blame on Qu Moying.
The Queen Mother nodded, called a few palace maids around her, took Concubine Li's palace maids away, and then interrogated them one by one.
"Miss Qu Si, please tell us something!" The Queen asked after everyone had left.
Qu Moying stood up, bowed gracefully to the Queen, and then recounted what had happened.
It started from when she went out for a walk and met Concubine Li by chance, and Concubine Li said some provocative words, and Concubine Li asked someone to bring her tea, and later Concubine Li smashed the teacup on the teacup in front of her. The two of them had to stand up, and in a panic, Concubine Li gave the cat to the maid beside her, and then the maid put the cat on the stone table.
Afterwards, she went to tidy up Concubine Li's clothes. After finishing, the palace maid stood up, put her hand on the cat's tail, and pushed the cat. The cat pounced towards Qu Moying. Yu Dong stepped forward and pulled Qu Moying, then pushed the cat away with force. Unexpectedly, the cat went towards Concubine Li.
Concubine Li could have avoided it, but there were too many palace servants there, and even if she wanted to retreat, she had nowhere to retreat, so the cat scratched her face with its claws.
This is how things happened. Qu Moying described it in detail, even explaining the details clearly.
After finishing speaking, Qu Moying bowed to the Queen, then raised her eyes and said, "There are a few things I don't understand, please enlighten me, Queen."
"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother looked at her for a few seconds and asked slowly.
"The place where the Concubine Dowager lives is quite remote. In the past, I heard from her that no other Concubine would come here. But why did this Concubine suddenly come here today? I have never seen this Concubine before, and I have never even heard of her. But she seems to dislike me very much. Besides, is that cat her own?"
Qu Moying asked in confusion. As the fourth young lady of Minister Qu's family who was abandoned in a farm, it was normal for her to know nothing about the affairs in the palace.
Of course she didn't know that the cat belonged to Concubine He!
The Empress' eyes moved twice without a trace of ripples, and then her voice became colder: "The cat belongs to Concubine He!"
"The Imperial Concubine's cat was brought to such a remote place by Lady Li, and..." Qu Moying stopped talking here, as if he didn't dare to say any more.
If this accident was really as she said, Concubine Li was indeed suspicious, and even gave people a feeling that she deserved it, as if Concubine Li herself wanted to plot against Qu Moying, and even brought the cat here on purpose. It was only because of some accidents that Concubine Li was the one who got into trouble in the end.
The Empress knew that Concubine Li had a good relationship with Concubine He, but she had not thought of it just now. Now she was more thoughtful.
"Empress, save me, save me..." Concubine Li, whose head was wrapped tightly, rushed out from a remote place. Her head and brain were now covered with white cloth strips, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed and able to see. She rushed out crying and knelt in front of the Empress. There was faint blood stains on the white cloth strips on her face, and it was obvious that the situation was very bad.
The Queen Mother looked at the imperial physician beside her.
The imperial physician shook his head helplessly: "Concubine Li's face... I'm afraid it's..."
He said half of what he said and left the other half, but everyone present understood the meaning of what he said.
"No... No, no, my face, my face..." Li Meiren burst into tears and rushed to the imperial physician again, grabbing the imperial physician's medical robe, "Imperial physician, save me, save me."
The imperial physician was frightened by her and took two steps back. His robe was pulled back helplessly. He said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have tried my best. Not only do you have cat scratches on your face, but you also used the wrong medicine... It's no use!"
"No... I can't do it anymore?" Concubine Li put down the doctor's robe in despair and reached out to cover her face. "I can't do it anymore. Why
What's wrong... I... I want to find the emperor, I want to find the emperor..."
As she spoke, she turned her head left and right in panic, as if trying to find someone who could save her. Her eyes suddenly fell on Qu Moying and her eyes turned bloodshot.
He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Qu Moying, grabbing Qu Moying's face with both hands, screaming: "Why not you, why not you, you are the bitch who deserves to have your face destroyed, it's you... it's you..."
Yu Dong had been wary of Concubine Li. When he saw her rushing towards him, he immediately stepped forward to block her, held down her hands, and pushed her forward with force. Concubine Li fell heavily to the ground and screamed in pain.
"Someone, take Concubine Li back!" Seeing how things had turned out, the Queen Mother gave the order in a cold voice.
It would be embarrassing for her, the queen, to make a scene in front of so many people.
Two people came over, dragged down Concubine Li, who was still trying to make a scene, and sent her back to her own palace.
At this moment, the palace servants who had been sent out for individual interrogations came back one by one and reported to the Queen Mother everything they had learned.
The causes of the incidents were basically the same, but only a few palace servants mentioned Concubine Li's previous provocative words to Qu Moying. As for why the cat suddenly pounced on Concubine Li, they basically said that it was the maid beside Qu Moying who deliberately bumped the cat in front of Concubine Li.
The cat was suddenly frightened and pounced on Miss Qu Si. Then the maid stepped forward and knocked the cat into Concubine Li, disfiguring her.
This sounds like an accident, but the focus of the accident is Qu Moying and Yu Dong. No matter what, Concubine Li was disfigured, and Qu Moying and Yu Dong must be blamed.
As for why the cat was frightened, all the palace servants said they didn't know. They were all looking after Concubine Li at the time, and no one knew why a healthy cat would suddenly stretch out its claws. This cat belonged to Concubine He, and it was extremely docile in the past, and it had never been heard of scratching anyone.
It is also said that Lady Li would usually go out and take a walk with the cat in her arms, but today she just wanted to see the beautiful scenery and walked a little further.
These words were obviously prepared, and all the palace servants said the same thing.
They are almost exactly the same!
After listening to this, Qu Moying curled the corners of his lips silently, and his eyes were cold and fierce. It turned out that he had made preparations early in order to deal with the interrogation after the incident. However, there were some unexpected things, and he didn't have time to reconcile the statements in time, so some of them seemed too messy, which also made the statements that had been reconciled before too neat.
It makes people feel uncomfortable.
As the saying goes "too much is as bad as too little" is exactly what is being said in the current situation. If she was really in trouble at that time, the words of the palace maids and the testimony of Concubine Li would have allowed Concubine Li to get away with it perfectly. Since Concubine Li got away with it, the palace maids around her were of course also innocent.
Who could have thought that a cat would suddenly go crazy and scratch people
However, she really couldn't figure out how Qu Qiuyan got this palace beauty Li to do it for her? But looking at the cause and process of this incident, as well as the medicine Qu Qiuyan had prepared early, it was clear that Qu Qiuyan knew about it, and it was related to her. Was it because of Concubine He
Qu Moying couldn't figure it out for a moment. Concubine He has always been known for her gentleness and propriety in the harem, and because of this, she is even more favored by the emperor. Does someone like her need to deal with him
The answer is definitely no, which makes this even more interesting...
