Chapter 1081 The Concubine Was Just Frightened by the Emperor's Fierce Eyes

"You..." Concubine Qi retorted before she said it, and then Fourth Master said in a deep voice: "Concubine Qi, you are the same."

The translation of this sentence is: If you don't understand the rules and talk nonsense, you can go out.

So, when Concubine Qi came to her mouth, she swallowed it immediately.

She accompanied her with a sneer, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine also cares about the queen, so she is straightforward. From now on, the concubine will not interrupt, you can just interrogate the servant."

She was the first to try to slip away before.

But now, the good show has just begun, how can she be willing to leave.

Besides, if they take advantage of her absence and pour dirty water on her, what will she do!

Fourth Master cast a cold glance at Concubine Qi, then turned his gaze to the maid in the middle again.

"You keep saying no, but it's true that you and Concubine Xi are flirting. Tell me, did you put the rose flowers in the queen's quilt!"

"No... Your Majesty, there are really no slaves. They are all wronged." The maid shook her head and said innocently: "The slave was only severely punished by Concubine Xi when he was in Chengqian Palace, causing I couldn't get out of bed for several months, and I couldn't do errands, so when I saw Concubine Xi, I felt scared, I didn't dare to look at her, but I couldn't help but look at her secretly."

After finishing speaking, she secretly glanced at Concubine Xi again.

That look was really as she said, full of fear towards Concubine Xi.

It seems that Concubine Xi is some kind of femme fatale.

This made everyone present very curious.

It stands to reason that it is common for a concubine to punish a slave, and it is not a rare thing, so it would not scare the maid into such a state.

But what exactly did Concubine Xi do to this court lady, it cast a shadow over her.

"What did she do to you?" Fourth master continued to interrogate.

"Concubine Xi, she..." The maid first glanced at Concubine Xi, then shook her whole body, and replied: "She saw that the slave had washed her clothes, so she asked someone to tie him to a tree. They were whipped and exposed to the sun for three days.”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone suddenly realized.

I want to say that the maid just made a small mistake, just give her a good beating and rush back to the House of Internal Affairs, why bother to torture people like this.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of the dead face tree and are afraid of peeling,

Tie people to a tree for people to watch and whip. It's no wonder that the maids are terrified to death when they see Concubine Xi.

After hearing this, Concubine Xi also showed a guilty conscience.

She still knows what she has done.

She is indeed harsh on the minions below.

But that was only in private, whenever the emperor went to her to see the third elder brother, she always showed a gentle and kind appearance of sympathy for the slave.

But now, the image she worked so hard to create was all ruined by this court lady.

But she can't say anything yet, and she can't say anything.

One is that the emperor said just now that without permission, she cannot intervene.

The second is because compared with murdering the queen, she lost this little image, which is nothing.

After all, it is commonplace for a master in the palace to punish his slaves.

She is at best a stricter concubine.

However, after being silent for a while, she still couldn't hold her breath and said: "Your Majesty, please allow this concubine to say something."

"explain."

"It's like this. The concubine treats the slaves very generously on weekdays. It's just that this court lady washed a new dress that the concubine had just made. The concubine has always been frugal, and the clothes were made by the emperor. The concubine cherishes the gift of satin, otherwise the concubine would not be so angry. That's why I got angry for a while and punished the servant severely."

In order to defend herself, Concubine Xi would tell lies as soon as she opened her mouth.

This made Su Peisheng couldn't stand it any longer, "Concubine Xi, didn't you just say that you don't have much impression of this court lady, why do you remember it so clearly now?"

Hearing this, Concubine Xi gave Su Peisheng a hard look.

That look seemed to say: It's none of your business!

However, at this time, the court lady retorted pitifully: "No, I remember that what was washed and torn at that time was just an ordinary underwear. It's just that Mrs. Zhuang, Concubine Yu, and the Queen were diagnosed with pregnancy one after another. How do you feel?" It's not very good, it's easy to get angry."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Qi couldn't help covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

Concubine Xi gritted her teeth, she had nothing to refute.

This damn court lady has revealed her ugliest side in private to the public.

It's fine to say that she is a vicious master.

What she said now made it even more obvious that she was a jealous woman and couldn't tolerate other people in the harem getting pregnant.

In this way, bad public opinion turned towards her again.

Moreover, it seems that not only the queen has something to do with her.

Even the matter of Concubine Yu Gui seemed to have an inseparable relationship with her.

If she had known this, she would not have defended herself just now.

Maybe, I won't talk about this part.

Now I have no choice but to stick to the principle of saying more, making mistakes, and saying less, and pretending that I didn't hear anything.

After listening to the maid's words, fourth master didn't say much.

Because it is a common thing for concubines to punish slaves, and it doesn't mean anything.

In addition, his focus at the moment is not on this.

What he cares about now is not these.

He only cares that this court lady is not bad.

Listening to it now, what the maid said seems to be true.

Well, this means that the murderer is someone else.

The next moment, those sharp cold eyes fell on Wen Bin.

This made Wen Bin, who was originally relaxed, tremble for no reason.

"Concubine Wen, what are you afraid of?" the man asked in a low voice.

"No..." Concubine Wen knelt down and said, "The concubine was just frightened by the emperor's fierce eyes."

She quickly calmed down, and her voice was still a little whiny when she spoke, as if begging for mercy.

"No, when I was interrogating Concubine Xi and the maid just now, you were obviously relieved. Moreover, you secretly flirted with another court lady and played a round of riddles. Concubine Miao Xi, you two are looking at each other."

After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly turned to another court lady.

Su Peisheng followed the fourth master's line of sight and brought the maid to the center.

However, from the moment the fourth master stared at that court lady, her legs and feet were so frightened that she couldn't walk.

It was still put in the middle by a few slaves.

For a moment, the guilty conscience of this court lady was in stark contrast to the previous court lady who was interrogated.

Even Concubine Wen's reaction seemed to be much stronger than Concubine Xi's.

It seems to be written all over his face: How is it possible, wasn't he still interrogating Concubine Xi just now?

How did it get involved in her in the blink of an eye?

It made her think that Concubine Xi was going to take the blame for this, and she could escape the catastrophe.

Now that he was suddenly named, he was even more flustered and confused.

Especially for the cold eyes of the emperor.

It's like facing an ice blade that is so sharp that it can pierce through everything.

Could it be that the emperor discovered something, right?
