Chapter 167 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)
Etiquette and law are the basic means to restrain people, so why do some people always ignore them?
Yi Xu knew that Song Yuesheng's personality could not be changed in a day, but if he let it go on like this, he couldn't believe what kind of mess she would cause in the harem.
He clicked his tongue, then quickened his pace and followed.
"Noble Concubine Song, etiquette is the cornerstone of maintaining order in the palace. As a noble concubine, you should set an example and respect etiquette, so as to win the respect and admiration of everyone. I hope you will take care of yourself and do not ruin your future because of a moment of indulgence."
When Qiao Yue heard this, she glared at Yi Xu angrily, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"Sir Yi, my queen has not left the palace for more than half a month since she was confined by His Majesty. She left today to meet General Song, and now she has to go back. We don't know when the confinement will be lifted."
She took a deep breath and continued, "Master Yi, what you just said is clearly slandering my queen. Does it conform to the etiquette you mentioned?"
Song Yuesheng was observing quietly at the side. When Qiao Yue finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Don't worry, Qiaoyue. Lord Liyi is the Minister of the Ministry, so he must understand the etiquette. He will definitely not do anything to expose my shortcomings to save the late queen. How do you say that word..."
Song Yuesheng touched his chin, with a hint of amusement in his smile, "Besiege Wei to save Zhao!"
Yi Xu did not deny it. He looked her straight in the eyes. "Compared to the dead, the living are more likely to arouse people's disgust. The way Young Marquis Ye looks at you is not innocent. Concubine Song, you are a concubine. There are many things you cannot do and cannot touch."
Song Yuesheng spoke lightly, her voice carrying a bit of carefreeness: "I can't control how others view me. What does it have to do with me? Is it possible that the cats and dogs passing by look at me and they have a relationship with me?"
"Lord Yi, His Majesty only gave me half an hour. Goodbye."
After saying this, Song Yuesheng turned and left.
The mission was about to be completed. Apart from his father who was about to go off to the battle, Song Yuesheng no longer cared about anything.
She decided to visit Ronghua Palace at night and check on Wen Man.
After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and the task value depends on the heroine.
The wild halo is the prerequisite for Song Yuesheng to carry out the mission, and it is also the key to the heroine's prosperity and the collapse of the mission world.
If she can't get the remaining 5% of the task value from Wen Man, what other ways can she get it?
She tried to kill the heroine, but failed.
The same goes for assassinating the male protagonist.
According to the Sparrow Spirit, she could beat the male and female protagonists half to death, or she could spare their breath. But she couldn't kill them, let alone have the thought of killing them.
in case……
Song Yuesheng rubbed his fingers.
If she cannot complete the task tonight, she will give Xiao Guixi another gift to make him completely decide to kill Wen Man.
Thus, the situation becomes the same as in the previous world.
——The heroine with the wild aura died, and her mission was naturally completed.
Song Yuesheng had thought of a way out, but Wen Man's situation was far beyond her imagination.
At this time, Wen Man was lying leisurely on a rocking chair in the middle of the yard. She was listening to the screams of the little eunuch being beaten with a stick while eating the fruit that Chunmei fed her.
On both sides of her stood the palace maids and eunuchs from Ronghua Palace.
Each of them lowered their heads and trembled.
After a while, the screaming disappeared.
She squinted her eyes and glanced at the unconscious eunuch, then her sharp gaze swept across everyone around her like a sword.
"Your Majesty has not yet dealt with those rumors, but you are busy having fun, making up the past of the late queen all day long." Wen Man's voice was full of majesty.
The only person in the palace who knew about her past and had a grudge against her was Song Yuesheng.
She told Xiao Guixi that it was Song Yuesheng who framed her, but he didn't believe it and locked her up in Ronghua Palace!
Why!
The rumors these days were about to blow the lid off her coffin, but Xiao Guixi didn't ask anyone to stop them.
Since he doesn't care about her business, she will take care of it!
Wen Man clenched her fist and said, "This incident today will serve as a lesson to the rest of you. If I hear you talking about the late queen again, I will not let you off easily. Everyone, get out."
"Yes, ma'am."
They walked very fast, as if they were afraid that Wen Man would go back on her word and give them twenty lashes of the board.
"My lady, they don't know the inside story. It's not worth taking your anger out on them."
"Your Majesty confined the Queen to her house, not because he thought she had done anything to frame the late Queen, but to prevent other concubines from gossiping about her. If it got to His Majesty's ears, it would be difficult for His Majesty to protect her."
Chunmei looked at Wenman, paying attention to her expression, and spoke carefully.
"Your Majesty, the late queen has always been different to Your Majesty. Please stop getting angry with Your Majesty because of the late queen."
"Is that so?" Wen Man was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it is!" Chunmei quickly climbed up the pole. She smiled and comforted, "If His Majesty didn't have the Queen in his heart, how could he let the Queen live in Ronghua Palace? His Majesty came over so angrily that night, and the Queen was just unable to leave temporarily. If it were someone else who slandered the late Queen, he would have been banished to the cold palace and his entire family would have been implicated."
"Do I need you to tell me? Of course I know it's different."
Wen Man was so coaxed by Chunmei that she smiled happily and forgot the real reason why she was confined to her room.
——The emotional entanglement between Wen Man and four other people.
Suddenly, a little palace maid holding some fabric ran up to Wen Man, panting, and knelt down.
"Your Highness, I just came back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and unexpectedly ran into Concubine Song on the road. She specifically asked me to tell you that you are Mingzhu and the late queen is..."
The little palace maid suddenly paused, as if something heavy was pressing on her throat, making it difficult for her to continue speaking.
Wen Man frowned, her eyes full of impatience.
"What is it? If you keep hesitating, I will send you to the Ministry of Punishment immediately."
The little palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, then she came to her senses immediately and spoke out the rest of the words at a rapid speed.
"Song Guifei said that the late queen had a fish eyeball, and that a fish eyeball could never turn into a pearl. She told the queen to give up as soon as possible and stop imitating the late queen's fish eyeball that fell into the dust."
Snapped!
A slap hit the little palace maid's face, her face turned red instantly and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Chunmei quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.
Wen Man waved her hand and said, "Get out! All of you, get out!"
Song Yuesheng was very aggressive towards her, and she still said that it wasn't Song Yuesheng who was targeting her, spreading rumors all over the palace?
Chunmei didn't move, but instead hinted to the little palace maid to leave quickly.
Seeing the people walking further away, Chunmei flattered Wenman, "Your Majesty, you don't have to get so angry. Have you forgotten that in five days, Cuili Palace will disappear?"
Wen Man said angrily: "I can't swallow this!"
"Simple!"
Chunmei leaned over to her ear and said a few words, then left Ronghua Palace.
Chunmei's plan was to make Song Yuesheng have a rash on his body. Specifically, she went to the Imperial Household Department and sprinkled medicine on Song Yuesheng's clothes, but this punishment was too light and it was not enough to make Wen Man swallow her anger.
So she called a little palace maid and not only told her the plan, but also gave her an extra bottle of medicine.
Not only can it cause skin ulcers, but it is also difficult to heal in a short period of time.
