Chapter 271 271: Useless stupid disaster


    A room in the Punishment Division was filled with the smell of blood. Xiang Ying was thrown on a pile of hay covered in blood, dying.


    Hu Qian covered his nose with a handkerchief and walked in. Immediately, a young **** kicked Xiang Ying lightly: "Don''t pretend to be dead, Eunuch Hu has something to order."


    Xiang Ying heard the words, opened her eyes with difficulty, and then closed them again, making an imperceptible murmur, proving that she was still alive.


    Hu Qian looked down at Xiangying, and said indifferently: "The concubine Xian was furious when she learned that you conspired with Imperial Doctor Xu under the guise of her name to plot against the empress and concubine Zhen, and reprimanded you, a lowly maid, for being vicious and unforgivable. Do you have anything else to say?"


    Xiang Ying couldn''t help but twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard Hu Qian''s words, but she gasped violently because of the pain. She wanted to say something, but she didn''t even have the strength to say a word.


    From the moment she was taken away, she knew she was an abandoned child.


    Don''t you feel angry?


    Yes, but she dare not pour this pot of dirty water on Concubine Xian.


    Even if Concubine Xian is involved, she will not escape death, but if she bears the charge, at least Concubine Xian can save the lives of her whole family for the sake of her loyalty.


    It''s fine if she dies, she can''t implicate her family.


    Hu Qian waited for a while, but didn''t see any reaction from Xiangying, so he turned and left.


    On the way back, Xiao Liangzi followed her master step by step, and couldn''t help asking: "Master, the empress wants Xiangying to see clearly the cruelty of the concubine Xian so she can pry something out of her mouth. mean?"


    Hu Qian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Liangzi, and said seriously, "Do you know that misfortune comes from your mouth?"


    Xiao Liangzi nodded: "Tu''er understands, but Tu''er is really curious, whether Xiangying was instructed by Concubine Xian? If it is true, does the emperor just let it go?"


    Seeing the doubtful look on the little apprentice''s face, Hu Qian looked around, and then whispered: "Even if the emperor suspects that Xiang Ying has committed this crime, then this matter will stop here. It is not difficult to move a virtuous concubine, but it is difficult." It is the consequence of forcibly investigating this matter, and in the end it can be proved that Concubine Xian is the best, if it cannot be proved what Concubine Xian did, the previous dynasty will definitely be shaken."


    If Xiangying believes that she was instructed by Concubine Xian, the emperor will investigate thoroughly.


    It can be seen that Xiangying''s attitude does not mean this. A series of criminal laws have been used, and Xiangying has confessed. You can no longer force her to put this charge on Concubine Xian. People criticize Xiangying''s beating and tricking, but the gain outweighs the loss.


    Xiao Liangzi nodded half understanding.


    "Anyway, Concubine Xian suffered a heavy loss this time."


    Degraded from a concubine to a concubine, the gap is not a little bit, but the empress empress accused her of laxly conniving evil slaves to deceive the master, which is really hard to find fault with.


    The decree of concubine Xian being demoted to concubine quickly spread throughout the harem, causing everyone''s jaws to drop in shock.


    Listening to the content of the imperial decree again, many people shed tears of sympathy for the concubine Zhen.


    Many people also sneered, what can Xiangying do with a slave, and Concubine Xian''s such a big move is just downgraded to concubine, which is really cheap for her.


    But she completely offended the empress by doing this, and she still doesn''t know how she will be contested in the future.


    Even if it was really her servant who planned all this on her own initiative, the virtuous concubine cannot escape the responsibility. Originally, the empress manages the harem, no matter how you are punished, you should be punished, but you complained to the maid about the empress''s fault, this is already a crime.


    Compassion Palace


    The queen mother dropped the teacup in her hand angrily, and her wrinkled face was full of anger: "This idiot, he can''t even do this little thing well, it''s really useless."


    Her personal nanny, Li Nanny comforted: "Queen, please calm down. This time, the queen was lucky enough to discover the abnormality of Imperial Doctor Xu in advance. Next time we plan carefully, we will definitely not make mistakes."


    Nanny Li thought to herself, is it a small thing to calculate the emperor''s affairs, so what is a big thing?


    "The empress didn''t have much contact with the concubines in the harem in the past. Except when she first entered the palace, Jingren Palace could put people in, but after she cleaned it up once, it was difficult to let people in. The whole Jingren Palace is like an iron wall. It is as strong as it is, so that people can''t take advantage of it, and now it''s hard to use the concubine Zhen, but it''s messed up by the stupid concubine Xian."


    The Empress Dowager didn''t like the Empress, so she often tripped her up in secret, but because the harem was under the empress''s control, she couldn''t reach into the Jingren Palace at all, and she couldn''t beat Empress Song badly.


    And because of An Guogong''s status in the court, the queen mother can''t treat the queen publicly, and can only use tricks secretly. The queen is now more and more arrogant and disrespectful to her. In addition, the emperor of Chu Jinyan returned to Beijing intends to make him the prince. The Queen Mother couldn''t sit still anymore.


    In her selfish heart, she always wanted Concubine Shu''s son to inherit the throne.


    The queen has no son, and the queen mother is worried that the Song family will support Chu Jinyan, so she is even more eager to get rid of the queen.


    At that time, even if the emperor does not appoint Concubine Shu as the queen, the queen mother can guarantee that the emperor will make Concubine Shu a noble concubine. After that, if there is no queen, Concubine Shu will be able to take power in the harem. rear…


    Only a little bit away...


    If I had known about it, I would have exposed the false pregnancy of the concubine in advance!


    The queen mother gritted her teeth regretfully.


    As for the virtuous concubine who was severely punished, she didn''t care. Now that she has been reduced to concubine, she will restore her status sooner or later.


    What''s more, as long as the empress is not included, the concubine Xian''s great revenge can also be avenged.


    Physician Xu''s friend who was outside was taken out of the palace by Lu Xiang, and she was put down in a secluded alley. Lu Xiang warned with a frosty face: "You should know how to do today''s affairs, right?"


    The woman nodded in horror: "The woman understands, don''t worry, miss, I won''t say a word."


    The woman felt that she had walked around in front of the King of Hell''s palace and suddenly returned to the human world. She wished that she had never had any relationship with Dr. Xu, so she dared to gossip about such things.


    Lu Xiang let people go, and then returned to Lu''s house in a carriage.


    The common people don''t know the inside story. If this matter gets out, others will only focus on the false pregnancy of the concubine Zhen, and they are afraid that it will ruin the concubine Zhen''s reputation.


    I didn''t expect Xiangying to be a loyal and tough person, it''s a pity that I couldn''t testify against the concubine Xian.


    However, after this incident, the queen and the concubine will also be more vigilant. If the empress hates her, the life of the concubine will not be easy in the future.


    First put the Empress Dowager’s jade bracelet on her body in an attempt to slander her for stealing the Empress Dowager’s tribute, and then ordered Xu Taiyi to plot against the Empress and the concubine. This seemingly gentle lady is really vicious and disgusting.


    Lu Xiang leaned against the wall of the car with her eyes closed and dozed off, thinking about plotting against the empress and concubines, besides the concubine Xian, is there any handwriting by the empress dowager?


    After all, she was the one who wanted to frame herself with the Queen Mother.


    Or is Concubine Shu involved?
