Chapter 6: A bloody case caused by a handkerchief (4)
Imperial concubine?
Ah Jiu's heart moved. She was married to the young emperor on the same day as the queen, but she had been doting on the harem for many years.
She looked at her intently and saw a tall beauty with a lazy bun on her head standing five steps away from her. Her face was only lightly powdered and her eyes were squinted, looking lazy.
Incomparable. However, after hearing Lu Qiao's words, especially after her eyes glanced at Ah Jiu, the flash of sharpness in the corner of her eyes made people very uncomfortable.
"I have long said that you should not hit or scold anyone before you ask questions clearly. If this spreads out, I will think that I am bullying others!"
There was a strange smile on Concubine Zheng's lips, but her voice was extremely cold, and Ah Jiu immediately heard that she had no sincerity at all.
But now that she knew her identity, she had to follow the necessary etiquette, so she knelt down and whispered: "I have met the imperial concubine."
Concubine Zheng narrowed her eyes and turned to give Lu Qiao a wink. Lu Qiao understood and looked at Ah Jiu and asked sharply again: "Which palace are you from? What is your name? Are you trying to sneak around here?"
Stealing something?"
Steal something?
Ah Jiu immediately understood that this was why they were waiting here. But, didn’t they know that the secret guards had been following her?
However, before Ah Jiu could answer, Lu Qiao spoke again: "I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer it? But there are some shameful things, and I really want to make you suffer."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and yelled at the fierce-looking nuns around her: "Go and slap me. If you don't believe her, she won't speak."
"Yes, Miss Lu Qiao." The two nuns responded and rushed towards Ah Jiu, one from the left and the other from the right.
Ah Jiu's expression turned cold. She was not allowed to speak at all. And as the two women rushed toward them, something golden dangled in their sleeves...
Concubine Zheng stroked the non-existent dust on her armor and blew it gently. The scene that was about to happen had been rehearsed in her mind long ago. Anyway, she had already said everything she needed to say, and after that,
Once the "thief's stolen goods" are found, it is not common for the palace to kill all the slaves who stole the things.
Even if the last one really asked... Haha, with so many people testifying for her, who would embarrass her for a little palace maid? She has the Zheng family behind her, so what does this little palace maid mean?
She has been able to dominate the harem all these years only because of her preemptive strike, and this time is no exception.
It was a coincidence today that she happened to see this girl coming out of Moyou Palace, so she followed her. At first, she just wanted to see what she was going to do, but when she really saw the troublesome appearance of this girl, she was already excited.
Murderous intention.
Ah Jiu stepped back, wondering if all the secret guards were upset. Otherwise, why hadn't they come out to "rescue" them yet? If they didn't take action, she would take action.
She didn't think that in this inaccessible place, blind tolerance would make the sister in front of her stop.
As for the consequences of taking action - Yue was already having a tantrum with her because she had been on a vegetarian diet for several days, so she had to be comforted, and now was the perfect opportunity.
Just as she was thinking about it, the two nuns were already in front of Ah Jiu. One of them wanted to hold down her arm. How could Ah Jiu let her succeed? She dodged with a slight flick of her wrist.
