Chapter 222: The innocent takes the blame
"Liu Yunxiang, haha, Yan Mu is dead!"
"He was beheaded by me!"
"But he was willing to die."
"Who do you think you are? You are just my substitute. You will never be as important as me in his heart!"
In her previous life, after Yan Mu was beheaded, she was locked up in the dark room of her Xiyue Palace by Jin You, who had ascended the throne as the Queen Mother, and was tortured every day.
What a dark past it was, she would not dare to think about it for decades to come.
She was soaked in the corpse pool, she was stripped naked and beaten, she was put in a small iron cage and could only lie down like a dog...
Liu Yunxiang thought about the past, his body began to tremble, and his fists clenched suddenly.
It doesn’t matter that she is Jin You, it doesn’t matter that she is protected by Yan Mu, it doesn’t matter that she is scheming and vicious, and it doesn’t matter even if she becomes the Queen Mother in the end, Liu Yunxiang will definitely kill her!
Kill her!
But for now, she can only endure it.
Jin You's performance was very good, and his feelings and emotions were very on point, so he infected the people around him, and they all looked at Liu Yunxiang with resentful eyes.
"Is she the good concubine she framed?"
"Otherwise why did Little Concubine Jin hit her and say those words? It must be her!"
"A newcomer wants to stir up trouble, and he doesn't even look at his own virtues!"
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. Someone needed to take the blame for this matter, and it was obviously her.
Later that day, Aunt Jiang from Feifeng Palace came over and gave Liu Yunxiang a gold hairpin. Although she didn't say anything, it just confirmed that she had slandered the good concubine.
"This slave has no merit and no reward." Liu Yunxiang quickly pushed him back.
However, Aunt Jiang directly checked her head, "The Queen rewards you, you must continue it!"
"My slave did not say that the good concubine harmed the concubine Hui..."
"The Queen didn't name you and said it was you who said it. She only said that a palace maid saw it."
Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips, which meant that she was not even qualified to defend herself.
"The matter of concubine Hui is the emperor's holy decision. It cannot be wrong and cannot be wrong, so you have to crush some words into your stomach. If you are obedient, the queen will not treat you badly."
After saying that, Aunt Jiang glared at her again as a warning before leaving.
Liu Yunxiang really took a bite of Coptidis chinensis and couldn't tell the pain. The queen and the little golden concubine had just had a fight, but now they joined forces with a tacit understanding to put the blame on her.
Then she saw that the palace maids and eunuchs looked at her with angry eyes, and even Wanyi, who had been friends with her before, took a few steps away from her.
During dinner, the Queen Mother did not leave the room, but Aunt Su served her with a bowl of porridge.
The Queen Mother did not need anyone to wait on her, so Liu Yunxiang returned to the side room early.
As soon as she entered the door, a palace maid in pink palace clothes, named Ruyi, pushed her hard. Liu Yunxiang staggered back two steps, but before she could stabilize herself, someone pulled off the hair on her head.
Golden hairpin.
"You won this golden hairpin, don't you have a bad conscience?" Ruyi's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried.
Liu Yunxiang's head was pulled so hard that it hurt, but she felt uncomfortable all over, and she really didn't have the strength to argue with the palace maid, so she walked around her and walked into the house.
"Liang Fei is a good person. We all know that you will get retribution!"
Na Ruyi ran away crying. Liu Yunxiang walked to the brazier, picked up the kettle and poured a bowl of hot tea while others were either angry or enjoying the show.
She didn't eat lunch or dinner. She wasn't hungry right now, but her mouth was very dry.
She sat down aside and thought carefully about yesterday and today. She roughly guessed that there was a fight between the queen and the little golden concubine. Both of them were of high rank and escaped unscathed, but it was the good concubine who suffered.
And Liang Concubine was very popular in the palace. Jin You's slap and the Queen's reward for her were like telling everyone that she was the one who wronged Liang Concubine.
From then on, it was difficult for her to move around in the palace.
"You hold the bowl and I'll give you some water."
I don't know who said it, but Liu Yunxiang was used to being served, so he stretched out the bowl without even looking.
The pot was lifted from the brazier, and there was boiling water inside.
When Liu Yunxiang saw the water being poured into the bowl, she was about to say thanks when the spout of the kettle suddenly tilted and the boiling water poured directly onto the back of her hand.
She screamed in pain and quickly ran away.
"Ouch, I was not careful!"
Liu Yunxiang raised his head and realized that the person in front of him was Wei Qing.
There was a burning pain on the back of her hand, which made her whole body tremble. She raised her hand and saw that after a while, it had become highly swollen, with a lot of water splinters, and some were even broken and leaking pus.
And Na Weiqing pretended to apologize, then her voice changed and she said: "You were obviously careless, everyone saw it, right?"
Others actually agreed and gave Wei Qing proof.
"She was so distracted that she got burned. She doesn't blame Sister Weiqing."
"Yes, they also have good intentions."
"Who asked her to do something bad? She must have been feeling guilty just now!"
These palace ladies were quarreling with each other, and Liu Yunxiang could also see at this time that they were clearly helping Wei Qing, but in fact they were angry about the good concubine.
"Let me accompany you to the steward's aunt to ask for a box of burn medicine." Wanyi hurriedly pulled Liu Yunxiang out and walked to the small side room where the steward's aunt lived.
"Does it hurt?" Wanyi asked.
"Um."
Liu Yunxiang looked down again. The skin on the back of his hand was so rotten that he couldn't look straight at it.
"You don't know, Concubine Liang often serves the Queen Mother, so she is familiar with the maids of Luohan Palace. She has a good temper and a good mind. If any maid is in trouble, she will help if she can. As soon as you entered the door, I pushed your
Ruyi, she was serving in another palace, and her master was sentenced to death by the emperor for his indiscretion. As a palace maid who took personal care of her, she was also going to be beaten to death, but the good concubine begged the emperor for mercy and only beat her five times.
Ten big boards. Later, Liang Fei secretly stuffed her with medicine for her injuries. When she got better, she begged the Queen Mother to transfer her to Luohan Palace."
Liu Yunxiang exhaled, that's what happened.
She didn't want to go along with the queen, but she dragged her in anyway and made her whole body smelly and dirty.
what to do?
This palace is full of dangers, and on her second day here, she is already exhausted both physically and mentally.
The steward's aunt was a woman in her thirties, with a pointed chin similar to Wei Qing's. She glanced at Liu Yunxiang, her eyebrows filled with secret anger.
"But knocked over the kettle?"
Wanyi smiled and said, "She was also careless."
"Did the kettle break?"
Wanyi's smile froze, "No."
"If she breaks the kettle, see if I don't break her hand."
"Her hands were very hot..."
"It looks like nothing is wrong to me. The hands that do rough work are not that delicate. By the way, there is a basin of clothes in the laundry room. You two can go wash them and hang them to dry before going to bed."
"aunt!"
"Go quickly, or I'll whip you with a whip."
In the evening, I saw that the aunt in charge actually turned around and went back to get the whip, so she quickly took Liu Yunxiang to the laundry room.
There was indeed a basin of dirty clothes inside, a very large basin and piled high.
