After something like this happened, the queen didn't know how she would instigate her in front of the emperor. It must be because of this that the emperor had a grudge against her.
Concubine Hua was upset and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs in front of her. She was so frightened by a corpse that she almost flew out of her wits. She felt that it was an eyesore.
"Perhaps the maid of some palace was walking carelessly and didn't pay attention to her feet, so she accidentally fell into the well."
"How unbecoming is it to run around the palace recklessly?"
The eunuch and maid kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they kowtowed in apology.
"This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, Concubine Hua."
"Really, that scene was really scary. Please forgive me, Concubine Hua."
After hearing this, Concubine Hua felt a little guilty after all, and tossed the handkerchief casually.
"Just arrange for a few brave people to put that thing away. If you dare to run rampant in the palace or cause any rumors, I will not spare you."
"Don't back down yet."
"Thank you, Concubine Hua, I will take my leave."
After the others left, Zhou Ninghai stepped forward tremblingly and asked, "Empress, what should we do now?"
Concubine Hua said, "You have the nerve to say that you are so careless in doing things, and you dare to tell me that you won't be discovered?"
"I'm afraid it's spread throughout the harem now!"
Zhou Ninghai said, "I didn't know this would happen. After all, I'm just a palace maid. I can just find an excuse and go there. It won't bother the queen."
Zhou Ninghai really felt that Concubine Hua was unreasonably angry. The empress insisted on arranging Fuzi to enter the Yikun Palace. He would die sooner or later.
Making a fuss now would let the Queen know that their Yikun Palace is not that easy to mess with, and see if she still dares to put people around the empress casually.
Concubine Hua said, "What do you know? The palace maids are all from the Eight Banners and cannot be killed casually."
"Before the queen comes and adds jealousy in front of the emperor, I will go to Yangxin Hall to apologize."
Zhou Ninghai was shocked when he heard this. Their empress was the most arbitrarily arrogant and even punished the concubines. How come she was going to apologize for a trivial matter now?
"Your Majesty...this...is just a small matter in the end, isn't it?"
Concubine Hua said, "It was originally a small matter, but as long as it concerns the Emperor, it is a big matter. If it concerns the Emperor's opinion of me, it is a huge matter."
After saying this, Concubine Hua walked towards the Yangxin Hall in a hurry. Taking advantage of the gap when Su Peisheng went in to pass the news, she rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Su Peisheng came out and asked Concubine Hua to come in. Concubine Hua looked up, her eyes were red as if she had cried, and she was shocked in her heart.
Only a short time after he came in and out, Concubine Hua's face changed faster than a street performer!
"Your Majesty invites your Majesty to come in, but what are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Hua did not explain, but just said, "Thank you, Eunuch Su."
When she arrived in front of Big Fat Orange, Concubine Hua knelt on the ground sadly.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Big Fat Orange stood up and was about to help Concubine Hua up, but saw a look of regret on her face.
"What's wrong with you? Get up quickly and tell me what you have to say."
Concubine Hua stood up and said in a choked voice, "I am guilty, please forgive me."
"The Empress recently rewarded me with a maid named Fuzi to serve me personally.
But a few days ago, this blessed son was careless with his hands and feet when he was helping me comb my concubine's hair, which hurt me. "
"I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I scolded him a few times, and the lucky boy ran out crying. Because he was given by the queen, he didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so I didn't care about him anymore."
"The next day, the maid in her room reported that Fuzi had not returned, so I asked Zhou Ninghai to look for him."
"Who would have known that someone had just discovered Fuzi's body in a well in the Royal Garden, and Wan Changzai had seen it. It must have been that Fuzi ran out that day and didn't notice where he was standing, and that's why he lost his footing and fell into the well."
"I really didn't expect that it would be like this. This Fuzi has such a strong temper. It also caused Wan Changzai to see this as soon as she entered the palace. It is my concubine who is not good at managing the Sixth Palace. Please forgive me for this. "
As Concubine Hua knelt down to apologize again, Big Fat Orange still had the same old expression of emotion and anger.
He has seen too many such things. Concubine Hua's words are true and false, but they cannot be hidden from his eyes.
She and the queen had been at odds for a long time, and the queen suddenly sent a beautiful maid to serve her personally. How could Concubine Hua tolerate her temper.
Although Concubine Hua did something wrong in this matter, the queen was not entirely without responsibility. The palace maid named Fuzi did not know what role she played in it.
Big Fat Orange helped Concubine Hua up and said kindly, "Okay, you didn't mean it, so don't be sad."
"That palace maid... give her a grand burial."
Concubine Hua asked hesitantly, "But where is the Queen?"
Daju said, "The queen understands the truth and knows what to do."
Concubine Hua nodded and leaned on Big Fat Orange's shoulder with a smile.
Queen, even if you say a flower, the Emperor will only think that you are scheming and I will fight back.
Let’s see how long you can keep wearing the mask of pretending to be virtuous.
