Chapter 405: Lest the nobleman destroy himself just after receiving the favor
Wang Ai also came back to his senses at this time, with a gloomy look on his face.
Ever since Concubine Ming regained her favor, he has never been treated with such contempt and questioned!
Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor, who has not entered the harem for many years, has been staying in Rongming Palace recently!
And Concubine Ming was also promoted to Concubine Ming yesterday!
Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet taken place, the golden words are a done deal!
Now, in this palace, even the eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to be polite to him! So far, I have never seen anyone who dares to contradict him!
Humph! People outside the palace just have no manners!
The young eunuch beside Wang Ai was very good at observing people's expressions. He knew what Wang Ai was thinking just by looking at his face.
He stepped forward, pointed at Shu He and shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the palace? You're so bold!"
Shu He looked at him, his face fearless and his expression remained calm.
This demeanor made Wang Ai unable to help but look sideways.
At this time, the young eunuch leading the way was very perceptive. Seeing that Shu He was being harassed, he deliberately moved aside, revealing Baili Moqing behind him.
"Who are you?"
Obviously, the young eunuch beside Wang Ai did not recognize Baili Moqing. He must have been promoted in recent years.
Seeing that he was wearing a white casual suit, which was expensive but did not reveal his identity, he thought that Baili Moqing was just like Shu He, a commoner.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ai, who was behind him, took a closer look and recognized Baili Moqing.
He was startled. "Oh, isn't this Prince Li? Why are you here?"
Baili Moqing's face was cold and he sneered as he asked, "Eunuch Wang, what you said is as if I need your approval to enter the palace?"
"I dare not!" Wang Ai quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I said the wrong thing! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Eunuch Wang is so arrogant now! He wants to beat a palace maid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to death just because she was bumped into!"
"Why, are you the one who set the rules and criminal laws in this imperial palace?"
Wang Ai's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant!"
"It's just that, that maidservant was so rude that she almost ruined the imperial concubine's dress. I just wanted to teach her a lesson..."
Shu He couldn't stand such nonsense and snorted coldly, "A lesson? A 'lesson' at the cost of one's life, huh?"
The people in this palace really use words that are “thought-provoking”!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a place where people are eaten!
Wang Ai recognized Baili Moqing, but not Shu He. However, since she came with the prince, he thought she should not be offended.
He just said: "Miss, you misunderstood. This servant is just giving her a small punishment. I will never kill her!"
Shu He sneered, "Just now, what the prince and I heard was 'beaten to death with sticks'! Eunuch Wang, did the prince and I hear it wrong?"
"I...slave..."
Wang Ai glanced at Baili Moqing in embarrassment, as if accusing the people brought by the prince of not knowing the rules.
Baili Moqing stepped forward and stood beside Shu He, looking down at him. "Wang Ai, do you know that the most taboo thing in the palace is 'interfering in other people's affairs'?"
"Do you think that just because Concubine Ming has been promoted to Imperial Concubine, you can do whatever you want in the entire Daqi Palace?"
"How about this, I will go with you to meet Ming Fei and ask for the answer?"
The cold wind blew through the long alley, causing Wang Ai to tremble uncontrollably.
He kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy. "Your Highness, spare my life! I have become complacent! I have become arrogant! Please, Your Highness, spare me this time, considering that I am only loyally protecting my master!"
Seeing the bruise on his head, Baili Moqing sneered, "Spare you? Then who spared that little palace maid?"
Wang Ai understood and immediately said, "It was my fault that I didn't see the road clearly and bumped into the door frame of the wall door! All the mistakes were made by me, and have nothing to do with that palace maid."
After saying that, he yelled at the two eunuchs, "Why don't you let go?!"
The young eunuch quickly let go of the palace maid, knelt on the ground and crawled, not daring to look up.
The little palace maid was saved, took two steps forward and knelt on the ground.
Baili Moqing's expression softened slightly upon seeing this. "In that case, Eunuch Wang, it's getting late. We should go and deliver some clothes to Concubine Ming!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"
Wang Ai just stood up and prepared to leave. Before he could wipe the sweat off his forehead, he heard Baili Moqing suddenly speak again.
"Wait!"
Wang Ai's heart skipped a beat and he knelt on the ground again. "My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"
Baili Moqing looked at the tray held by the eunuch behind him, on which was placed the bright red imperial concubine's uniform.
"Although Consort Ming has been canonized as a Noble Consort, the canonization ceremony hasn't taken place yet! According to the regulations, it's not time to wear the Noble Consort's uniform yet, right?"
"This..." Wang Ai looked embarrassed.
This is the Imperial Concubine's order! How dare he disobey?!
"Empress Ming may not know the rules, but don't you servants understand them either?"
Wang Ai had no choice but to nod, "Yes, I understand!"
Baili Moqing hummed lightly, and when he saw Wang Aigang stand up, he spoke again.
"besides……"
Wang Ai could only kneel down again.
After repeating this several times, I felt a piercing pain in my knees.
He couldn't show any dissatisfaction yet, so he asked respectfully, "What else do you want, Your Majesty?"
Baili Moqing pondered for a moment before reminding him, "There are many rules in this palace. If there are things that the master doesn't know, you servants need to remind him more!"
"Lest the noble man, having just received grace, bring about his own destruction!"
After a dead silence, Wang Ai uttered a low "Ah".
On the surface, he seemed to be accommodating, but in fact, there was a flash of anger and sinisterness in his lowered eyes.
This Baili Moqing is cursing his own queen!
He must tell the Empress about this and make him suffer!
