"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me, save me!" Concubine Li threw herself down from the couch. Her face was wrapped in heavy white cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, filled with despair and madness.
The emperor took a step back, his face cold.
Concubine Li fell heavily to the ground, crawled two steps on her knees, and tried to grab the emperor's robe, but a eunuch stepped forward, blocked her way and scolded her.
"Lady Li, how dare you!"
"Your Majesty, the people from the Qu Mansion want to harm me. It is the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion who wants to harm me." Concubine Li screamed in despair, still looking up at the emperor's face.
"Lady Li, why do you need to say all this at this point? Who exactly wants you to harm Fourth Miss Qu? The last time she entered the palace, you also went near Concubine Qu, and now too. I've never seen you go there before!" The Queen asked with a sigh.
She had already checked. Concubine Li would never go to such a remote place in the past. But she went there once when Fourth Miss Qu entered the palace last time, and she did the same this time. If she said there was no connection, no one would believe it!
"Your Majesty, no, no, it's her who wants to harm me, not me, it's her, it's that bitch who wants to harm me!" Concubine Li shook her head desperately and explained anxiously. She subconsciously stretched out her hands and wanted to reach the emperor's robe, but when she raised her head, she was met with the emperor's gloomy eyes.
With deep fear in my heart, I waved my hands twice in confusion, but had to put them down.
The emperor did not speak, and it was still the Empress who spoke: "Concubine Li, at this point, do you still think you are not wrong? Your people have already said it!"
"Say...what did you say?" Concubine Li looked at the Queen in fear, her lips pale and trembling.
"Today, you took Concubine He's cat to the Dowager Concubine's place, and waited there early for Fourth Miss Qu to come. After that, everyone around you confessed everything. Now that it's come to this, do you still think that someone is hiding it for you? Even you, the master, can't protect yourself, let alone them!"
The Queen said again.
"At this moment, your face has been ruined. After this... Actually, there is no future. Can't we talk about it?"
In the next sentence, the Queen's tone became sharp.
"Queen, please handle this matter. I have something else to do!" The emperor finally spoke, glanced at Concubine Li coldly, turned and left.
It was obvious that he came here just to take a look and go through the motions. At least Concubine Li was his woman, so he had to have a reaction. As for what this vicious woman would do next, it was not something the emperor needed to consider. As long as the queen was there, it would be enough.
"Your Majesty, please save me. Your Majesty, please save me!" When Concubine Li saw the emperor turning around and leaving, she screamed in despair and fear.
"Concubine Li, it's too late to save you. Your face is truly ruined. Don't all the imperial doctors make you understand this?" The Empress had someone stop Concubine Li from rushing out, and whispered.
The emperor had already walked a distance away, and the queen was not worried that she would hear him. Her voice was not as gentle as usual, but with a hint of sarcasm: "Concubine Li, you are finished. Not only you, but also the Li family behind you. Your beauty has been ruined. From now on, you can only live in the cold palace."
In the past, Concubine Li and Imperial Concubine He were close, and the Empress knew it very well. Of course, she would not help Concubine Li at this time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lady Li was stunned at first.
For a moment, and then suddenly pushed away the nanny who was blocking the way and chased forward desperately, making a shrill and inappropriate sound. In this harem, without appearance, there is no way to go but to die, and the death will be miserable.
Before she met the emperor, she still had some hope, but now she has lost all hope. What awaits her in the future will be endless torture, loneliness, and even humiliation. She can even foresee her own tragic end in the future, not only hers, but also that of the Li family.
At this time, Concubine Li was really desperate. She didn't know where she got the strength to push away the maid who was blocking her way, but the next moment, she was stopped by two maids.
Concubine Li struggled desperately, screaming as she looked at the emperor who had almost disappeared in front of her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me... Your Majesty, save me!"
How hopeful she was before, how desperate she felt now. Something in her mind seemed to have broken. She screamed madly, pushed away the person who was holding her hand, and threw herself forward madly. She couldn't let the emperor go like this. She could still be saved. She could still restore her appearance. It must be like this. There must be someone who was jealous of her beautiful appearance.
"Concubine Li, the Emperor has left!" The Emperor's voice sounded cold and smiley in her ears. Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, then turned back with a dull look, and with difficulty looked at the Empress's cold and harsh face. Suddenly, she seemed to understand everything.
He then pounced on the Queen, screaming wildly: "It's you, you bitch, who hurt me. It's you who hurt me. I'm going to kill you!"
As she spoke, she pounced towards the Empress again. Someone from behind hurriedly grabbed her, but even so, she still jumped forward with her hands and feet flailing. The white cloth wrapped around her face had already fallen off during her struggle. Her originally beautiful complexion was now bloody and stained with drug powder, which frightened the palace maids who saw her.
Even so, Lady Li's eyes were still mad. She stared at the Empress fiercely, as if the Empress in front of her was the culprit who harmed her, and she struggled madly and threw herself at the Empress.
"Empress, she's crazy!" Looking at Concubine Li like this, Concubine Xiang who was following the Empress whispered.
Yue Zhaoyi, who was standing next to her, stepped back in fear. Concubine Li was truly crazy. Not only was she cursing the Empress madly, but she was also about to pounce on her. Her crazy eyes were frightening. She didn't care even though she showed such a face. She was truly crazy!
Otherwise, Concubine Li should have covered her face at this time.
How can such a face still be as beautiful as before
Zhaoyi Yue and Concubine Li lived on both sides of Concubine Xiang, and their relationship had not been very good in the past. They had always been jealous of each other and disliked each other, but at this time Zhaoyi Yue felt sorry for Concubine Li.
I also truly understand that Concubine Li is truly ruined!
"Come here, take her away." The Queen said sternly, "Take her to the cold palace and lock her up!"
The emperor turned around and left, which made his intention clear.
Two eunuchs came over and pulled Concubine Li down. Concubine Li struggled desperately, but no matter how crazy she was, she was no match for the two eunuchs. She fell to the ground and was still pulled out, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
"Beauty!" A palace maid screamed miserably and suddenly rushed forward, as if trying to rescue Concubine Li from the hands of the two eunuchs.
After being pushed away by a eunuch, the maid desperately called out "beauty" again.
It crashed hard into a pillar on one side.
This time, no one expected that after the palace maid was hit, her body immediately went limp and she fell heavily.
The Queen was closer, and blood splattered on the hem of her skirt, scaring her so much that she involuntarily took two steps back, and her face turned pale immediately.
It's not like the Queen Mother had never punished someone before in the past, but she had never done it so closely. The maid stared at her with her eyes wide open, as if she was staring at her.
"Empress, she is dead!" A eunuch hurried forward, took a closer look, then turned around and reported respectfully.
The Queen Mother calmed down and her face turned cold: "If he's dead, just throw him away!"
"Yes!" Two eunuchs came over, one on each side, and dragged the dead palace maid away.
It was so unlucky here that the Queen Mother naturally didn't want to stay here to deal with things, so she took Concubine Xiang to the main hall.
After sitting down again, the Queen Mother asked about Concubine Li's trusted maid. She still needed to verify the matter between Cai Mai and this trusted maid.
"Empress, the palace maid trusted by Concubine Li is the one we bumped into just now." Concubine Yue said with a wry smile. She was also there just now, so of course she saw it clearly.
"Is that what you just said?" The Queen frowned.
"Your Majesty, please have someone investigate again. There may be more!" Yue Zhaoyi did not dare to confirm and said after a moment of hesitation.
Concubine Xiang sent someone to call back several palace maids from Concubine Li's palace. They all said that the palace maid who had just been hit to death was the senior palace maid beside Concubine Li. In the past, Concubine Li always asked her to do whatever she had to do.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and all the palace maids went down, each with a sad look on their face. Concubine Li was finished, so naturally these palace maids would have to be reassigned.
No one knows where this will be allocated in the future.
There is even a possibility that you will be assigned to follow Concubine Li who was banished to the cold palace. Who would be willing to go to the cold palace...
“Empress, look…” Concubine Xiang looked at the Empress. Things had come to this point. Although she, the mistress of the main palace, had nothing to do with it, she also felt very unlucky. How could such a thing happen out of nowhere
How stupid was Concubine Li? She was used as a knife by someone and was also humiliated in front of the Emperor and the Empress.
She is the mistress of the palace, and Concubine Li and Zhaoyi Yue are both her people. From now on, whenever someone mentions Concubine Li, someone might laugh at her for her poor discipline.
"Let's leave it at this. Clean up Concubine Li's residence and wait for the new person to move in later." The Queen had calmed down by now. Since there was no clue about Concubine Li, she would just go straight to the purchasing agent. She had to get to the bottom of the matter so that the Emperor would be satisfied.
Such a thing happened in the harem today, and the Queen Mother felt very ashamed. She is the master of the harem, and no matter who gets into trouble, people will think that she, as the master of the harem, is incompetent.
Whenever the Empress thought of the cold look the Emperor gave her before he left, she felt so angry that her heart was rising and falling.
The cat belonged to Concubine He, and the incident seemed to be related to Concubine He. How come this bitch had nothing to do with it, while I was the one who was blamed!
She had to find that little shopping shopper as soon as possible and get some information about that bitch out of him. She didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with that bitch...
