Murong Wan had nothing to say, she lowered her head and sat on the ground.
Shen Qingwan suddenly had an idea. She glanced at Leng Xiang and the corners of her mouth curled up.
The nanny ordered people to drag Murong Wan away and punish her, but no one pleaded for her.
Including cold fragrance.
No one else cared about Murong Wan, but Leng Xiang, who was with her and had some friendship with her, did not even plead for her. They usually called each other sisters, but at this moment, they were so cold.
Shen Qingwan waited until she saw Leng Xiang's face clearly before she offered to help.
It is much better to take action now than to be regarded as pretending to be kind and trying to win people's hearts at the beginning.
Murong Wan's personality is not yet to the point where she can't distinguish between good and evil.
"Mammy, please forgive her this time. I had conflicts with her before, but she was just arguing a little and throwing a tantrum. Please be lenient with her."
Murong Wan looked up at her in disbelief. This woman would actually plead for her
She was a little dazed.
After hearing what Shen Qingwan said, the nanny would of course not agree. Her majesty was like the queen's position in the palace, and she had the final say in the imperial kitchen. Otherwise, how could she lead these palace people to do their work well
"You have good intentions, but Murong Wan did break the palace rules, so she should be punished according to the law. Otherwise, if other people also make mistakes and come to beg for mercy, won't I be unable to do anything? Stop talking, and drag her away immediately!"
Shen Qingwan said no more. She just wanted to act nice and take the opportunity to win people's hearts. To say that she had feelings for Murong Wan was nonsense.
She has framed me time and again, so this little punishment is nothing.
She just didn't want to have so many enemies. It would save her a lot of effort if she could replace someone from the enemy camp with her own side.
Leng Xiang only realized something was wrong after she passed this point, but it was too late to regret.
I couldn't help feeling annoyed.
After everyone had left, Murong Wan stood there with her face slapped ten times, waiting for Shen Qingwan.
She knew it was working.
But Murong Wan's attitude was still bad, and she still threw that sense of superiority that came from nowhere on Shen Qingwan's head.
"Don't think that I will be grateful to you for speaking up for me. I will repay you in the future. We will never owe each other anything."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to pay it back."
Shen Qingwan didn't say much to her. Now that she had started, she was confident that she could make this woman her own.
Murong Wan limped away. She had been kneeling on the ground for so long that her knees could no longer bear the strain.
Shen Qingwan watched the young eunuch executing her, and she felt sorry for Murong Wan, who had never suffered much, and naturally couldn't bear it.
In the past two days, there have been incidents of court officials being attacked in the middle of the night. They were either taken away or simply killed, causing panic among the people in the capital. The news alarmed the most noble woman in the palace.
The queen called Ou Duo to her bedroom and asked him bluntly, "Was this done by someone from your country of Okong? You killed an important official from my country of Daliang, but you don't even know such important information. What use do I have for you?"
It's no wonder she was heartbroken. She had tried every possible means to replace Fu Yuheng's men with her own people. Only she knew how much effort and financial resources she had put in. However, Ou Duo really couldn't accept her attitude.
"Your Majesty, I have already explained to you when I came here that we don't have many people and can only provide you with information and resources from within Okon. If I really had the ability to know what Huo Langqi and his group would do, I would not stay here and wait for your help. Are you mistaken?"
The Queen might not have wanted to vent her anger. Anyway, she had always been like this. When she was dissatisfied, she would always take it out on someone who was of lower status than herself and was related to the matter.
After the incident, she unknowingly applied this habit to Ou Duo. Only then did she realize that she was not from Daliang and might have rebellious intentions, so she quickly spoke up to remedy the situation.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was also angry for a moment, but you are the only one who understands Huo Langqi in the current situation, and you are the only one who can analyze what he will do. I haven't even met that person, so I don't know where to start. Let's put it this way. From today on, don't look for Fu Yuheng anymore. Just help me deal with this matter. I will give you troops and horses so that you can find people in Daliang Kingdom easily. Don't let him bring great trouble to my Daliang Kingdom again."
Although Ou Duo was angry, he knew what was going on.
It would be great to be able to get rid of that annoying and fruitless task, so I agreed immediately without hesitation.
He also wanted to meet Huo Langqi to see what their plans were for coming to Okong.
As for the queen, well, once he makes some moves, there will be nothing for her to do.
After she left, the Queen pulled Nanny Gui over to talk to her.
She had a guess that she hadn't said out loud just now, and she couldn't even believe it herself.
"Mammy, is he back? He wants to pull me down from this position. He wants revenge!"
Although the Queen knew that Fu Yuheng was not dead, she never thought that he would be able to make a comeback. This incident was a painful lesson for her and made her deeply aware of the terrible threat posed by Fu Yuheng.
"He is so smart. Even though I am the queen, he still doesn't show me any mercy. I also stole his throne and raised his son to be a puppet. He will kill me..."
The Queen was so panicked that she lost her mind and wanted to find a place to hide. But suddenly she gritted her teeth and insisted on cutting Fu Yuheng into pieces.
The nanny was horrified. She had followed the Queen for more than twenty years and had never seen such a scene.
He advised worriedly, "Miss, don't be afraid. You are no longer the woman in the harem who has no ability to compete with him. You are now the pillar of the family. All matters, big or small, are waiting for you to make the decision. We have a large army at hand, so why should we be afraid that he can turn the world upside down?"
The queen was comforted by the old address, and she regained her sanity after changing her mind.
"Yeah, what am I afraid of? He's the one who has to hide... and Shen Qingwan who's against me!"
"Miss, you are right to think so. Fu Yuheng is also a human being. He has flesh and blood and can get hurt and die. If he really wants to return to the court, it won't be easy. Not to mention the military power, even the ministers who are counting on your majesty to rise to prominence will not agree."
They have suffered for many years under Fu Yuheng and were never able to make a breakthrough. Now that they have turned over a new leaf, how could they allow Fu Yuheng to take away their wealth and glory? If they are a little instigated to understand the pros and cons, they might take matters into their own hands to get rid of this great threat.
The queen finally felt relieved, and the confidence that she had before that made her feel superior to others returned.
He smiled sarcastically and said, "Mammy is right. I was too impatient. Fu Yuheng is just a human being. There is nothing to be afraid of."
