Chapter 455: Farce in the Palace
Concubine Yin's two maids, Linghua and Binghua, were so frightened that they screamed.
King Rui roared loudly.
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
"Yes, yes."
Everyone was so scared that they dropped to their knees on the ground, not daring to breathe!
*
at this time,
Prince Rui approached Qian Min'er and gently helped her up. Qian Min'er's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at King Rui with tears in her eyes, and then, regardless of her injuries, she cried loudly and threw herself into his arms.
"Your Majesty, please save me and let Min'er go home? Woohoo..., this place is too scary! I've only been here for a few days, and I've already been bullied to death by Concubine Yin."
Prince Rui looked at the jade hairpin stuck on her shoulder and the large amount of blood, frowned, and instructed Eunuch Dong,
"Call the palace doctor."
The old butler outside the door responded loudly,
"Your Majesty, the court doctor is here!"
Then, the court doctor who had been waiting outside the hospital hurried in with a medicine box.
Prince Rui said to Concubine Li who was standing beside him,
"Help her go inside to bandage her wound?"
Concubine Li responded quickly and asked two maids to help Qian Min'er go to the side room.
*
Yin Ruyi on the ground had already woken up. She opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
I felt dizzy, and my arms, legs, chest, and whole body ached.
The memory in her mind opened up, and she suddenly remembered that she was kicked away by King Rui!
"Your Majesty?"
Her voice was dry, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she spoke.
At this time, Prince Rui watched Qian Min'er enter the room without even looking at Yin Ruyi lying on the ground.
He scanned the yard with his sharp eyes and said sternly,
"Who will tell me what happened?"
A concubine trembled and bowed and replied,
"Your Highness, when I and the others heard the crying and rushed over, we saw Concubine Yin chasing after the concubine who was beating Qian, and then she was pinned to the ground and couldn't be pulled up."
Prince Rui's face turned green as he scolded Yin Ruyi's two maids, Linghua and Binghua.
"You two come over here and talk it out."
"Yes, yes."
The two maids came over on their knees, and Binghua said tremblingly,
"Your Highness, today Concubine Yin asked me to invite Concubine Qian to come over for tea. Concubine Qian brought over a precious glazed pagoda as a gift.
But after a while, the originally happy Concubine Yin turned hostile and started cursing at Concubine Qian.
Then the servants were also kicked out."
Linghua continued.
“Your Majesty, when Concubine Yin saw the pagoda, she said for some reason that Concubine Qian was cursing her. Outside the door, we heard the sound of the glazed pagoda being smashed to pieces, as well as Concubine Qian’s screams.
Fearing something might happen, we barged into the room and saw the jade hairpin from Concubine Yin tucked into Concubine Qian’s shoulder! It was bloody, and we…”
The words haven’t been finished yet,
The door of the wing room opened, Qian Min'er came out weakly after bandaging her wound, and walked to Liang Hengrui crying, then knelt down and said,
“Your Majesty, Concubine Yin disliked the glazed tower I gave her as a gift because of its bad meaning, saying it was a demon-suppressing tower and was mocking her.
Your Majesty, I didn’t, I really didn’t think about this.
This glazed tower is extremely precious. I only want to maintain a good relationship with Concubine Yin. I don't think about anything else.
But Concubine Yin misinterpreted my meaning and smashed the glazed tower.
He scolded me severely, but still not satisfied, he pulled out the jade hairpin on his head and stabbed me.
Wuuwuwu… I was so scared that I ran out, but I didn’t expect her to chase me and beat me relentlessly. She was still shouting, saying that it’s either her or me, or me or her. Your Majesty, Concubine Yin wants to kill me!”
Qian Min'er, with a pale face, spoke incoherently. She stood up and threw herself into the arms of King Rui and started crying.
At this time, the court doctor stepped forward and said,
"Reporting to the prince, although the injury on Concubine Qian's shoulder is not too serious, it is better to be careful, otherwise it will leave a scar."
"Well, back off!"
The court doctor bowed and left.
*
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Yin Ruyi lying on the ground.
She seemed to wake up suddenly, and crawled to the front of King Rui trembling all over, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Highness, listen to me. It was Concubine Qian who slandered me. She wrote and directed all this herself. Really, she wants to destroy me!
She was the one who smashed the glazed tower herself.
She also made the jade hairpin herself. Really. I didn't do anything. Your Majesty, please believe me! Look, those fragments flew and pierced my arm."
King Rui interrupted her and said in a deep voice,
"Then did you mention the words about the Demon Suppression Tower?"
Yin Ruyi tried her best to defend herself.
"Your Highness, she was the first to say that. She was the one who said that she wanted to imprison a demon like me under the tower and never let me reincarnate. Believe me, I am not lying."
"You are talking nonsense. You dare to talk nonsense in front of the prince. Your two maids told the truth!"
Qian Min'er questioned her angrily.
When the two maids heard that they were mentioned, they kowtowed to King Rui in a hurry and said,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yin is our master, but we dare not lie in front of you.
We clearly heard Concubine Yin cursing outside the door about the Demon Suppression Tower and saying she wanted to smash it. It was she who broke the jade hairpin, Concubine Qian. "
As the two finished their conversation, they heard Yin Ruyi's roar.
"You're lying. What good did she do for you? I once saved the lives of you two little slaves."
Yin Ruyi was so angry that she got up and started to beat up the two maids regardless of the presence of Prince Rui.
"enough!"
King Rui looked at the noisy backyard, his face turned pale, and he let out a loud roar.
The scene immediately fell silent.
King Rui said to the crowd,
"As a concubine, Yin Ruyi has a lack of personal ethics and is unworthy of her position. She will be confined to her house for half a year and fined for one year. We will see what happens next.
Concubine Li is not good at managing the backyard, so she will be fined for three months. This is a warning to me. I don't want to see such a situation again."
Concubine Li knelt on the ground with her heart beating like a drum and said,
"Yes, I am willing to be punished and follow your instructions."
Yin Ruyi was so anxious, angry, and wronged that she was shaking all over like a fool.
King Rui didn't want to look at the faces of these women anymore, so he bent down and picked up Qian Min'er.
Qian Min'er was caught off guard and screamed "Ah!" Then she reacted and hugged King Rui's neck without caring about the injury on her shoulder.
"Hehehe" King Rui laughed a few times at her panic, then strode out.
Behind him were the voices of the concubines bowing and bidding farewell. There were also pairs of resentful eyes. And when she turned her head to look at Yin Ruyi lying on the ground, she looked at him with a gloating look.
*
All night, Prince Rui did not come out of Qian Min'er's courtyard.
The next day, Concubine Qian secretly summoned two maids from Concubine Yin's courtyard to Xiaoju's courtyard.
"Thank you, sisters, for speaking up for justice. These banknotes are a small token of my appreciation."
When Linghua and Binghua saw that the banknote in their hands was worth five hundred taels, they were so frightened that they dared not take it and knelt down and kowtowed.
