Du Xuechun didn't expect that Du Qingheng's face was so great that he could not let the Queen Mother come here in person, and then bowed his knees to salute slightly.
"See the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother looked at the concubine who had knelt on the ground, her turbid eyes swept towards the crowd, her eyes fell on the tearful concubine Xian on the ground, let Su Lian support her, and walked to her.
"Concubine Xian, you mean, you were wronged?"
The old voice rang through her ears, and Concubine Xian's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, gritted her teeth, resentful.
The queen mother defended this woman everywhere, and now she even wronged herself. Thinking of this, a violent faintly appeared in her eyes.
Du Xuechun, who was standing on the side, looked at the ups and downs of the concubine, filled with anger, and the secret way was not good, so he hurriedly walked over and preached first.
"Concubine Xian, the queen mother is asking you something, but she doesn't answer?"
Concubine Xian raised her head abruptly, facing Du Xuechun's beautiful eyes, and seeing the clarity in her eyes, she was awakened suddenly, and she was secretly afraid in her heart.
If he was disrespectful to the Queen Mother just now, even his father could not keep him.
Thinking of this, she also noted the kindness just now.
Hearing the words, the queen mother wrinkled her brows almost inaudibly, and the unhappiness in her eyes flashed by and then dispersed.
"The empress dowager's concubines have not done it before, so please watch the empress dowager carefully." The concubine Xian regained her sanity at this time, kneeling respectfully on the ground, putting away her previous discomfort and thoughts.
"Then why did you find a puppet in your palace?" The queen mother was full of majesty, looking at the concubine Xian who was kneeling on the ground.
"The concubine does not know." Concubine Xian insisted on guarding her opinion.
"I don't know? Oh, I'll know after I beat you, Su Lian." The queen mother's mouth was cold, and her eyelids were lifted, she said to the maid beside her.
"Yes."
"Twenty in charge." After that, his sharp eyes glanced at the queen beside him without any trace.
Du Xuechun pretended not to know, and understood in her heart that the queen mother was externally supporting the concubine Liang, but in fact it was to give herself a shock and remind herself that there was a queen mother on your head.
Thinking of this, my brows can't help but frown, then loosen.
"No...no, the concubine hasn't done it." Concubine Xian showed horror when she heard that she was about to beat herself, and shook her head in a hurry to deny.
Su Lian led the palace people to press the Concubine Xian on the ground, hitting Concubine Xian with a stick, and the Concubine screamed again and again.
I have never suffered such humiliation at this age, and now I only feel the burning pain on my body, piercing every skin on Ji, gritting his teeth, and calculating the account on Liang Concubine’s head. It is not for a moment, white and flawless. Palace costume, dyed with red flowers.
Concubine Liang gave a light cough, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief to conceal the smile of her mouth.
Du Xuechun saw that the blood on his back became more and more intense, and the smell of blood also pungent on his nose, forcibly suppressing the feeling of wanting to vomit, only to watch the concubine Xian being beaten.
"The empress mother, it's full." Su Lian counted twenty and ordered people to stop.
"Concubine Xian, do you know that you are wrong?" The Queen Mother replied softly, and her eyes fell coldly on Concubine Xian on the opposite side, her tone as cold as ice.
"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Xian had no breath. She was spoiled by her parents in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She has never suffered half-heartedly. Now she is beaten like this, and she can't hold on.
"Continue." The queen mother glanced indifferently, and gave instructions with a move of her mouth.
"Yes." Su Lian's face was expressionless, his eyes were not half distressed, and he continued to signal the palace man to do it.
The few concubines kneeling on the side looked at the blood-covered concubine, covering their mouths with pale faces. They had never seen such a scene. Ye Qing's eyebrows were fearless, but he narrowed his eyes and didn't know what to think.
"The concubine doesn't recognize it." The sticky back, still gritted his teeth, relied on the last consciousness to spit out such a sentence, then his eyes went black and he passed out.
"The empress dowager, Concubine Xian is dizzy." Du Xuechun saw the concubine Xian who was motionless, turned to look at the queen mother, resisting the urge to vomit.
"Oh, hypocritical." The queen mother only said softly, and there was no more.
There was a fire in Du Xuechun's heart. The queen mother wanted to succumb to the fight. If the concubine was beaten, how would the former household servants treat the emperor and herself.
Thinking of this, when he looked at it, he wanted to speak.
"The emperor is here." Jinzhong's voice fell, and the queen mother's face became stiff, and then returned to normal.
"Courtesy see the emperor."
The concubine kneeling on the ground was already tingling in her legs and feet, and her salute was a little unstable.
Feng Xuan Che handled the official documents, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he was worried that the queen would suffer a loss, so he walked over quickly.
His eyes fell on Du Xuechun's body for the first time, and he was slightly relieved to see that she was fine.
"Free gift."
"Thank you, the emperor." Huibi and others finally got permission to get up, supported by the maid beside them, otherwise they would be rude.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?" Feng Xuan Che walked to Du Xuechun's side, in a protective posture.
Such behavior made Du Qingheng, who was standing at the door very weak, jealous. As long as the man was there, the emperor could not see anyone.
"The Ai family heard that they had found someone who used the witchcraft technique, so come and see, who knows that the concubine did not plead guilty, and sent someone to be tortured." The empress dowager's prayer beads continued to turn, her expression without sadness, as if she was saying Homely.
Feng Xuan Che looked at Xu Qiuqiu, who was covered in blood, and couldn't help thinking of the agile girl that night. Her eyes were closed, her face pale and motionless, making Feng Xuan's eyebrows jump.
"Queen dowager, the matter has not been verified, how can she use torture privately."
"The emperor, the affairs of the harem are decided by the Ai family and the empress. You only need to handle the affairs of the court, and don't say much about the rest."
The implication is that you only need to take care of your court, don't interfere.
"Queen Dowager, Concubine Xian is my concubine. This is my family affair and can only be ignored. What is the difference between you and Qu Dacheng's move?" Feng Xuanche was a little angry at this time. This old enchantress became more and more arrogant, her hand stretched out. It's too long.
"Are you blaming Aijia?"
The queen mother was unhappy at this time. His sight was frosty.
"The queen is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and the queen mother will still go back to take care of her life." Feng Xuan thoroughly avoided stern words, and his expression became colder.
The queen mother's breathing was stagnant, and she closed her eyes slightly, that's all, she did get more moments just now, but as long as the goal is achieved, isn't it?
"Queen." The queen mother opened her eyes sharply.
"The concubine is here." Du Xuechun replied and walked out from behind Feng Xuan Che.
"Since Concubine Xian doesn't recognize this matter, then you can find out. If you don't understand, then you queen don't do it."
After speaking, he turned straight and left with Su Lian.
Du Xuechun looked at the figure walking away, and felt that the queen mother came here today because of herself.
"The emperor, it's better to ask the imperial physician to come out for the diagnosis and treatment of the concubine." Du Xuechun smelled the smell that was really pungent, and immediately turned to look at Feng Xuan Che behind him.
"Jin Zhong."
"The minion is here." Jinzhong walked over from behind, bowing his head respectfully.
"Take a stretcher to carry the concubine Xian back. As for the imperial physician..." Feng Xuan Che looked at the concubine Liang standing at the door with a chill on his mouth.
