The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 140 Call the shots

Aunt Mingyue and Zhu Wanxi stood aside, waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis.

Aunt Mingyue took the opportunity to say to Zhu Wanxi, "Thank you for making such a special trip, Eunuch Zhu. It's almost time for dinner. Eunuch Zhu, why don't you go back and serve the emperor first? I'll send someone to bring you a message."

Zhu Wanxi shook his head and said, "The emperor ordered me to come and watch. I will see what the imperial physician says before I go back."

Aunt Mingyue said, "That wooden bridge is the only way back to our Shuyuexuan. The big and small bridges in the palace should be repaired and inspected every year so nothing will go wrong. It's just our Zhaoyi's bad luck. I think the rainy season a while ago caused those wooden boards to rot and no one knew about it."

Zhu Wanxi curled the corners of his lips, but he was sneering, "Of course, the items in the palace will be checked every year. Aunt Mingyue, just take good care of Zhaoyi. The emperor will make the decision on other matters."

He didn't say much else, because as a man of Emperor Yongjia, he naturally knew the importance of keeping his mouth shut.

However, when the news reached the emperor's ears this afternoon, Zhu Wanxi saw it clearly. The look in the emperor's eyes was more than just heartache and displeasure.

There were so many stones on the ground and so many wooden planks on the bridge, how could it be such a coincidence that he fell on Qin Zhaoyi.

They are not newborn babies, so the mystery behind them can be guessed to some extent, let alone the emperor.

After the incident, Emperor Yongjia asked Zhu Wanxi to pass on the message, and the matter was immediately investigated.

Aunt Mingyue nodded. Both of them were elders in the palace. Zhu Wanxi did not say it explicitly, but after hearing his words, Aunt Mingyue had a clue in her mind.

Zhu Wanxi said that the emperor would make the decision, which means that the emperor has already started working on this matter.

Aunt Mingyue looked at Qin Liuse lying on the bed, and only hoped that her master's trick of taking advantage of the situation would be of greater use.

After the imperial physician examined her, he diagnosed that there were no broken bones, but the ankle was indeed twisted, and the sharp edge of the wooden board also scratched Qin Liuse's feet and legs.

Aunt Mingyue looked at the marks on Qin Liuse's legs and her swollen feet, and touched her chest, feeling very distressed.

Zhu Wanxi got the confirmed news and went back to report.

The imperial physician treated Qin Liuse's wound, removed the bandage, and sent someone to boil medicine.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Liuse told them to have dinner first and come back later.

After everyone had left, Qin Liuse asked Aunt Mingyue, "Where's Qingqing? Call her over."

Qin Liuse still remembers the red marks on her face when she brought people back to the bridge. She remembered that it was not like this when Qingqing left.

Aunt Mingyue seemed to find it difficult to speak, but under Qin Liuse's questioning, she said intermittently, "Qingqing is in her room..." and explained that she met Lady Wen in the Four Seasons Garden in the afternoon.

When Qin Liuse heard that her people were bullied, she subconsciously remembered it and accidentally touched her foot, and immediately gasped in pain.

Aunt Mingyue hurried forward to support her, "Zhaoyi, lie down quickly. The imperial physician said that you can't move around until the swelling subsides."

Qin Liuse was still unhappy, so he asked Mingyue to call Qingqing over.

Qingqing came in half limping, and her walking posture was not pretty at all.

After further questioning, Qin Liuse found out that she went back to receive her punishment and was forced by Lady Wen to kneel on the gravel road for more than half an hour.

Although it was wrong to bump into a noble person and the punishment was justified, Qin Liuse was not a fool. The punishment from Lady Wen was somewhat of a vent for personal vengeance.

Qing Qingyuan didn't need to be punished like this, not to mention that this person was hers, and her status was higher than that of Lady Wen.

Qin Liuse was thinking for a moment how to bring this matter to the attention of Emperor Yongjia, and when she heard that it was Concubine Lan who helped her, she became confused again.

To be honest, she and this Lan Cairen had no connection at all, and Lan Cairen was Wen Meiren's man, so why would he help her?

Besides, Lan Cairen is a subordinate of Concubine Wen and has a low position. If you help her like this, aren’t you afraid that she will have a hard time under Concubine Wen?

"Besides, we didn't meet her on the bridge." Qin Liuse captured every key word. Lan Cairen said that they met her outside, so she reminded Wen Meiren.

But she and Aunt Mingyue were on the bridge for so long and didn't meet anyone.

Qin Liuse looked at the bed curtains above her head and felt that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

Before he could figure out what these people were up to, a message came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

Aunt Mingyue and Qingqing quickly stood up and saluted, but Qin Liuse felt unwell both physically and mentally.

He simply turned aside and faced the outside.

Emperor Yongjia shouted "No need to formality" and walked in, only to see a cold figure facing him from the back.

Aunt Mingyue did not expect her master to be so rude. She wanted to remind him, but Emperor Yongjia waved his hand and signaled her not to speak.

Only then did Aunt Mingyue step aside.

Emperor Yongjia sat down beside the bed and patted Qin Liuse on the shoulder, "Why, are you asleep?"

Qin Liuse was not completely rude, she turned around with the quilt in her hand.

What caught the eyes of Emperor Yongjia was a face with tears in the eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was out of pain or grievance.
