Chunhua shouted: "Empress!"
"I didn't mean it on purpose," Xie Nianyao chuckled: "Go back and apply the medicine."
Several people in the palace looked at each other, and everyone could tell that the queen was intentional.
Although the temperature of the tea would not disfigure the face, the burn would still hurt for a long time.
Especially Cheng Ning's wrist was injured.
There are always people who have fun playing childish tricks. Cheng Ning took a step forward without any fear and grabbed Xie Nianyao's hand.
"Ah! What do you want to do?!"
Even if Cheng Ning is injured, her strength cannot be resisted by Xie Nianyao, a girl who has no fingers in the spring water.
She clenched Xie Nianyao's hand and deformed it, and her fingertips turned white.
"You, do you want to kill me?" The ferocity in her eyes made Xie Nianyao unconsciously afraid.
The entire hall held its breath, and the maids even forgot to call the guards.
No one has ever forgotten that the woman in front of them was a famous female general in the northwest, who never blinked in life or death.
If she really had murderous intentions——
"Empress!" Chunhua begged, "No, Your Majesty will be angry!"
However, at this moment, a chorus broke the deadlock: "Your Majesty is here!"
His Majesty!
Everyone in the hall fell to their knees in panic.
Xie Nianyao burst into tears immediately and rushed over softly: "Your Majesty~!"
Wei Yanzhou had obviously just come down from court and was still wearing his court uniform. When he entered the door, he saw Cheng Ning squeezing Xie Nianyao's hand.
He turned cold: "Fei Xi, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty!" Xie Nianyao will not lose when it comes to complaining: "I just didn't hold the teacup firmly, Concubine Xi will not let me go, I will crush my hand off!"
Cheng Ning retracted her hand and paid homage with a faint look: "Your Majesty Jin An."
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, and the marks she had made on her neck were bright red, making her lips look paler.
One right hand was burned red.
But his body was still as straight as before, and he was as arrogant as before.
He is always so proud that he doesn't know how to ask for mercy.
This was not the first time that she had had a conflict with the queen in the past month. Every time the queen complained, she had this look on her face.
The queen knew how to look for him as a backer, acting coquettishly and acting pitiful.
Cheng Ning, on the other hand, looked proud.
Wei Yanzhou smiled coldly. Since he never learned to accept weakness, he would have to suffer more.
There will always be a day when my spine cannot stand up straight and I know I have to rely on him.
Chunhua knelt down in fear. Knowing His Majesty's expression, she must have punished her mother-in-law again.
The Queen clearly did this on purpose.
I knew that His Majesty would come to the harem after leaving court.
But her mother-in-law is a tough nut...
Just as he was thinking about it, Wei Yanzhou spoke: "Since it hurts the queen, then——"
"Your Majesty." Cheng Ning suddenly raised his head, stretched out his red hand, softened his tone, and said in a vaguely aggrieved tone, "My hand hurts."
"..."
The remaining half of Wei Yanzhou's sentence, "Purpose Concubine Xi to kneel outside Fengluan Palace for an hour as punishment", was stuck in her throat.
The maids and concubines seemed to have seen a ghost.
Cheng Ning didn't know how to act coquettishly, but she had seen her sister-in-law get along with her brother.
This is how my sister-in-law talks.
Meng Xin's words made her understand that the Xie family was originally targeting the Cheng family.
She used to step back and not fight with the queen, but now she feels ridiculous.
The harem and the court are closely related.
Only by establishing a firm foothold in the harem can she be able to search for evidence and restore her father and brother's innocence.
Afraid that Wei Yanzhou wouldn't believe it, she repeated: "It hurts so much, and my waist is sore."
Xie Nianyao's expression suddenly changed: "What are you talking about on a sunny day?! Do you still have etiquette, justice and integrity?"
This Cheng Ning, could it be that he took the wrong medicine today to say such a thing!
Cheng Ning's hand froze in mid-air for a long time. Seeing that Wei Yanzhou didn't move, he thought it was because he was not strong enough.
She was a woman after all. She twisted her thigh and cried in pain: "Your Majesty, the Queen poured the tea on my concubine's hand. She said it was an unintentional mistake, but I pinched her hand and it was just painful. That's all, I just want to apologize."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was seen kowtowing to the ground: "The queen makes atonement, I did not do it on purpose."
"You did it on purpose!" Xie Nianyao stamped her feet and looked at Wei Yanzhou: "Your Majesty, she is pretending!"
"I do not..."
Cheng Ning was short of energy and blood, and kowtowing made her head dizzy and her body swayed on the ground.
This time it's really not pretending.
The next moment, she felt light and was picked up from the ground.
Facing Wei Yanzhou, his eyes were still wet with tears, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
Xie Nianyao was furious: "Your Majesty! She is just putting on a show for you!"
"Performing a show?" Wei Yanzhou glanced at Cheng Ning's red hands: "How about the queen also make such a realistic show for me to see?"
He looks so handsome, but when he is gloomy and fierce, his appearance is frightening.
Xie Nianyao almost couldn't stand still: "No, I -"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Yanzhou hugged the people and started to leave.
No one dared to stop him.
Not only did His Majesty not punish Concubine Xi today, he also angrily rebuked the Queen.
What is this scenario?
...
As soon as they left, Xie Nianyao could no longer hold back the jealousy on her face!
Even the maids in the palace are talking about it, saying that the Linhua Palace Empress is so favored that the Cheng family case may soon have a turn for the worse.
When the news reached Fengluan Palace, Xie Nianyao smashed the celadon all over the floor!
"She is clearly guilty, she is clearly the last of the four concubines, and she has passed her prime. His Majesty clearly wanted to punish her, but he changed his mind after being hurt by her. Could it be that Your Majesty really likes that old woman? "
"Your Majesty!" The eldest palace maid Tian Xing knelt down in panic: "Be careful what you say, Your Majesty!"
Although Cheng Ning has entered the palace as a concubine, no one in the palace dares to discuss her original status.
"This is my Fengluan Palace. What are you afraid of?"
Xie Nianyao was furious: "Who doesn't know that she was supposed to be His Majesty's sister-in-law? In front of the entire imperial city, she hooked up with His Majesty and committed incest, which is shameless!"
There have been too many changes in the imperial city recently. Cheng Ning suddenly became a palace concubine from a general, and there were already a lot of rumors in the palace.
After the death of the late emperor, the Xie family finally got the favor of the new emperor, and Xie Nianyao jumped to the throne. She should have been treated with great honor.
But who would have expected that since their wedding, Wei Yanzhou would stay at Linhua Palace again and again.
If she is really favored and the Cheng family's affairs are severely punished, what will happen to the Xie family?
Under this general trend, Xie Nianyao definitely couldn't bear it.
She must find a way to call the Cheng family and make Cheng Ning unable to escape from this situation!
Walking around the hall, Xie Nianyao was thinking about how to deal with Cheng Ning.
Now that Wei Yanzhou goes to Linhua Palace almost every day, it is impossible to blatantly attack Cheng Ning.
Suddenly a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she had an idea!
"Send a message to my father. If you can't kill the Cheng family openly, then you will find a way behind the scenes! They are just a bunch of criminals in jail. Your Majesty won't care if they are really dead!"
