Chapter 269 I underestimated her
When Wu Xiangrong realized what was happening, she had already praised Concubine Hui a hundred times in her heart.
She clearly hated Concubine Hui for beating Sister Zhao, but when she heard that Concubine Xian was secretly plotting against Sister Zhao, she felt that Concubine Hui's actions were extremely powerful.
Break all laws with one force.
No matter what conspiracy or plot it is, just fight first.
Looking quietly at the concubines around, it seemed like everyone was pretending to be surprised and scared, but they were secretly excited to watch the fun.
The virtuous concubine on the other side was furious.
Angry, scared, and ashamed.
Wu Xiangrong had never seen such a complicated expression on Concubine Xian's face.
"Li, Li Chaoying, how dare you assault me..."
"That's not a beating. If I really beat you, you might not see the sun tomorrow."
Concubine Hui brushed off the non-existent dust on her sleeves and looked down at Concubine Xian at her feet: "I'm warning you again, if you plot against anyone else, don't plot against me."
After saying that, he turned around and left, decisively and decisively.
The onlookers quickly stepped aside to make way for her, fearing that they would be taken out on her.
Concubine Hui didn't even look at them and walked with her head held high.
He just stopped when he passed by Wu Xiangrong.
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you on good terms with Concubine Zhao? Tell her that my beating of Concubine Xian doesn't mean I'm on her side. The lawsuit in her family doesn't seem to be a good one. If it's really persecution of the people, I might not show mercy when I see her later!"
Wu Xiangrong never expected that he would be implicated just for watching the fun.
She quickly squatted down and promised: "I will definitely pass on your message!"
Only then did Concubine Hui leave.
She was alone, without any palace maids, and she broke into Changle Palace and beat everyone to the ground.
After the fight, he just walked away.
This really made Wu Xiangrong envious.
Wu Xiangrong turned around and saw Qiu Changzai.
The girl also watched Concubine Hui's back with sparkling eyes.
He quickly tugged at her sleeve and asked her to keep it in.
Qiu Chang is coming back to his senses.
He exchanged a glance with Wu Xiangrong, then quickly rushed forward with the crowd to comfort Concubine Xian.
Everyone asked if the virtuous concubine was injured, suggested calling the imperial physician, and asked whether they should report to the emperor.
"Concubine Hui is rude. I will report this to His Majesty and he will punish her severely. You can all go away. I am fine, so don't worry about me. When you go back, remember to be careful with your words and actions. Don't talk nonsense like Concubine Hui, understand?"
After the virtuous concubine stood up, she put on a sullen face and lectured everyone.
Naturally, everyone just listened.
No one dares to bring bad luck upon themselves at this time.
But whether they would exaggerate the conflict between the two ladies and talk about it in private is another matter.
"Sister Wu, when you see Concubine Zhao, please also give me a message."
"Ah?...Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Xiangrong was called again and quickly saluted obediently.
"Tell her that I know nothing about the lawsuit Concubine Hui is talking about. If she encounters any difficulties, she can come to me for consultation."
"Oh, yes, I will definitely convey the message truthfully."
Xian Fei then warned everyone, "Sisters in the palace, harmony is the most important thing. Don't follow Hui Fei's example and make wild guesses about people's hearts and assume the worst. Do you all understand?"
Everyone quickly agreed and praised the virtuous concubine.
"It's gone."
"Yes, ma'am."
Everyone bowed and said goodbye.
The virtuous concubine forced herself to keep a straight face and gave the lecture, but as soon as everyone left, she immediately returned to the palace and her face fell.
"Empress Hui..."
She gritted her teeth.
I'm so embarrassed today.
No matter how much she planned, she never expected Concubine Hui to respond to the news of something happening in Concubine Zhao's family in this way.
And he even dared to attack her in public.
In the past, Concubine Hui only beat people of low status!
"Your Majesty, please calm down... or should we ask a doctor to take a look?"
Linglong knelt down and reminded carefully.
Xian Fei glared at him, "As if this isn't shameful enough, are you going to let everyone in the palace know that I was hurt by Hui Fei?"
"But what if your Majesty's health..."
“It doesn’t hurt anymore!”
Concubine Hui did not lie and indeed did not hit Concubine Xian hard. The places where she was hit no longer hurt.
She asked her confidant, "How did you do it? How did you let her find out about this?"
"This servant... This servant did spread the news as usual, but it took a few detours before her palace servants heard it... Logically, they shouldn't have been able to find out that it was us who spread the news..."
"Shouldn't you? She's already here, and you're still saying you shouldn't have. Go find out what happened. If you do it again, I'll punish you severely!"
"Yes, slave, go now!"
Actually, it’s not difficult to check.
Linglong quickly understood the reason.
She did send people to pass the message from one person to another, and after several twists and turns and passing through several people, she finally conveyed the matter of the Yu Mansion forcibly buying the people's land to Concubine Hui's maid.
But as soon as the palace maid told Concubine Hui about the matter, Concubine Hui became aware that something was wrong.
Ask her how she knew this.
I heard it from the person delivering food in the kitchen.
Concubine Hui called the person who delivered the meal and asked him who told him that.
After asking one question after another, they finally asked the question of a vacant palace maid.
This was the person Linglong first instructed to deliver the message.
It turns out it has nothing to do with Changle Palace.
But I don’t know how Concubine Hui knew that this person had a good relationship with a eunuch in Changle Palace, and she immediately guessed that it was Changle Palace.
As for why those people told the truth when Concubine Hui asked?
Because she hit people.
The reputation Concubine Hui had built up over the years in the palace made it so that no one dared to provoke her. After all, no one had the ability of Empress Zhao to stand up to her head-on.
Besides, discussing the lawsuit in Concubine Zhao's family is not a big deal. Why should he stubbornly refuse to admit it, get beaten for nothing, and take the risk of being injured and sent to the Xinzheku?
Naturally, everyone told the truth.
In this way, Concubine Hui followed the clues and found Changle Palace.
Linglong told Concubine Xian the whole story.
The virtuous concubine's eyes flashed: "You actually underestimated her."
I knew that Concubine Hui was just irritable and not confused, but I didn't expect her to be so shrewd.
I ended up losing more than I gained.
Linglong said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what others think now. The most important thing is to prevent His Majesty from getting suspicious of us. And as for Concubine Zhao..."
"Go call Consort Ying and tell her that I have obtained a lucky charm blessed by a high monk to help her with her pregnancy."
Concubine Xian wants to build a relationship with Feiwan through Zhishu.
He was secretly afraid of Fei Wan, but he had to pretend to be affectionate with her for the sake of appearance.
But Linglong told him that Concubine Ying had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet.
Only then did the virtuous concubine remember that Zhishu did not seem to be among the concubines in the yard just now.
"You haven't come back yet? Where have you been?"
"...I'm not sure. Lady Sakura never lets our people serve her. She only takes her own maids with her when she goes out."
"Forget it, get ready, I'll go to Chunxi Palace myself."
The virtuous concubine changed into clean clothes, tied up her hair, and re-applied her makeup. After she was dressed neatly, she took her people out.
When I arrived at Chunxi Palace, I heard that Fei Wan was not there.
"My Lady Wu has been sent to bring a message. Our Empress heard about Concubine Hui's assault at Changle Palace. She feels guilty for causing a dispute between the two Empresses, so she hurried to see Concubine Hui to explain."
The virtuous concubine was secretly unwilling.
She had a conflict with Concubine Hui, but Fei Wan was not the first one to seek mediation from her, but went to Concubine Hui!
