Regardless of how Songyue and Lai Che should be punished for their mistakes, just because they are people given by the Holy God, Concubine Wan Guifei cannot just go ahead and ask for replacement!
Even if they made a huge mistake, they should be punished by her and Qi Yan first, and then left to the Holy One to decide whether to stay or replace them.
The guards could not continue the execution because of Ling Yutong's actions and did not dare to move rashly. The imperial concubine ordered them to punish and replace others, but she also specifically told them not to make things too difficult for Ling Yutong.
Family members of military commanders who are in a special period, and people in the harem should not have an obviously negative attitude when they come into contact with them, so as not to cause others to take advantage of them.
Songyue got a chance to breathe, raised her eyes weakly, and shook her head at Ling Yutong: "Miss Ling, don't argue with Feng Ling because of your servant."
Ling Yutong pursed her lips with cold eyes.
Feng Ling. Is it possible that Concubine Wan Gui really thinks she is a queen? Or is it that Concubine Wan Gui has gradually sharpened her mind during the year she has been in power and has begun to dream of controlling more.
The so-called Feng Ling refers to the highest management authority of the harem. This authority was originally completely in the hands of the queen, but due to an incident two years ago, the queen suddenly proposed to the emperor that she was not energetic enough and wanted to decentralize her power.
This could be said to have caused a big stir at the time. After all, the power is in your hands, who wouldn’t want to push it out? But the queen did it at that time. She said that there were many high-ranking concubines in the harem, and they could participate in the preparations for every large-scale festival.
It can also help her share her worries.
Ling Yutong didn't know the reaction of the Holy Emperor at that time, but later, the Queen actually divided the power. The Fengyin, which was originally controlled by the Queen alone, frequently moved between the three palaces, and was jointly kept by the Queen, Concubine Wan Gui, and Concubine Xian.
Among them, only Concubine Wan Gui climbed to a high position and gained power a year ago. In the year before her, the high-ranking concubine who jointly took charge of Fengyin had already made the mistake of being greedy for profit and was demoted to a commoner.
Ling Yutong kept thinking about the information in her heart and sneered. After a brief interaction last night, she also got a taste of the queen's temperament. Would such a fierce person give up her power?
Unless she doesn't want this right in the first place and is just letting it go for fishing.
At this time, the Phoenix Seal is in the hands of Concubine Wan Guifei. She wants to replace the Holy One. Has she asked the Holy One?
When she asked the question in a cold voice, she was met with silence from the guards.
"Since I haven't asked your Majesty, then I just don't obey this order, so what?" Ling Yutong frowned and pushed the wooden board away with a strong hand, protecting Songyue forcefully.
At the same moment, the wooden board on Lai Che's body was also knocked off at once.
Qi Yan stood aside with cold eyes, supporting Ling Yutong's words with actual actions.
The guards frowned and made fierce expressions. "How dare you disobey the imperial concubine's order? Do you know how big a crime this is?"
Ling Yutong was not afraid: "Of course I will punish my people. If the empress blames them for not being able to protect their master, then just punish me directly. I saw the empress's cat and insisted on sending it back. Qi
Yan was also worried about me, so..."
The back that protects you is thin and thin, but it seems to contain infinite power, making people feel at ease from the bottom of their hearts.
Songyue's eyes turned red immediately, and she felt that if it was for such a master, even if she suffered pain, she wouldn't suffer at all.
Lu He also pursed his lips and his eyes flashed.
At this time, Qi Yan took a step forward and went to Ling Yutong's side.
Qi Yan's eyebrows tightened, and the cold and ferocious aura was so shocking that the guards suddenly lost their cold expressions and were filled with fear.
"Go back and report to the Imperial Concubine. We will punish the servants who have made mistakes. Thank you for your kindness."
"this……"
The guards' backs were trembling, and they were unable to stand upright under the pressure of Qi Yan's momentum, and finally agreed.
Ling Yutong saw their inconsistent attitudes in his eyes and knew that in this palace, if he didn't be tough, he would be bullied.
She turned around to inspect Songyue's injuries, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
Song Yue said in a low voice: "Miss Ling, thank you."
If the girl hadn't come to the rescue today, she and Lai Che would have been beaten extremely miserably until they were no longer able to serve others, so someone else was replaced.
Only a girl would disobey the imperial concubine Feng Ling for them. She will keep this kindness in mind.
"Stop talking anymore and go back to the palace. I will give you medicine."
Songyue's eyes were filled with tears: "That medicine is expensive, my slave..."
Ling Yutong shook her head and helped Song Yue into the palace. Even though there was only a little ointment left, she did not forget Lu He, who was also slapped on the palm of her hand. Naturally, Qi Yan came to apply the medicine for Lai Che's injury and take care of it later.
After stopping, Ling Yutong whispered: "Get some sleep, you'll get better faster."
She raised her feet and walked out of the temple. She saw that she was looking for Qi Yan. The Holy Father had ordered that as long as these two people were together, they must follow them and listen to their conversation.
But at this moment, Songyue closed her eyes and pretended not to have seen it.
As soon as he entered Qi Yan's palace, Ling Yutong saw Lai Che sleeping. Qi Yan nodded slightly, indicating that she could speak.
"Concubine Wan Gui participated in the murder of the queen."
Her tone was decisive.
"That guard couldn't have been replaced at will. It was also because someone mentioned the name of Concubine Wan Gui in front of the Holy One, so the Holy One just let it go. Song Yue and Lai Che were replaced just for Concubine Wan Gui's sake.
The holy bottom line."
Doesn't the Holy Emperor know who did it? He just doesn't want to care about it. He talks about avenging the queen, but he doesn't care in his heart!
As for Concubine Wan Gui, although she is conceited, she is more bold.
Lai Che's eyelids twitched slightly, and he was shocked at how smart Ling Yutong was.
Ling Yutong's speaking speed is a bit fast.
"The current situation is too unfavorable for us. After what happened last night, maybe the Queen can protect us a little, but if Concubine Wan Guifei intervenes again, plus the second prince, we will be attacked from both sides in the palace. We have to let
They keep each other in check!"
"How about we..."
Because Qi Yan interrupted her, she had no choice but to stop speaking.
But what actually silenced her was Qi Yan's gesture: "Shh!"
Qi Yan's tone was slightly surprised. "Yutong, are you thinking too much? Even if Concubine Wan Gui wants to test the Holy Emperor because of the guard matter, she will not do anything to us. The Concubine is not involved with us.
It’s necessary to be together.”
"Perhaps you are too tired during this period?"
"Look at the wound on your face. It's open because you were so anxious. Come on, I'll apply another layer of medicine for you."
Ling Yutong walked towards him.
The medicine brush swiped across her face, itching, and she saw Qi Yan's deep eyes close at hand, slightly drooping, and his free hand wrote "Okay."
good?
Ling Yutong's heart shrank.
Before she could finish her words, Qi Yan...
Qi Yan seemed to understand her meaning again, the words "eldest prince" jumped out of his hand, and Ling Yutong pursed his lips.
