Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 302: No Punishment for Huang Bin

Kunning Palace.

Xu Rou was kneeling on the ground watching the queen leave, and she quickly got up and wanted to follow her out.

Qiu Die, who was following behind her, couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a mirror and asked her to look at her current appearance. Only then did she realize how outrageous she looked just now.

Xu Rou angrily washed herself again in the inner hall.

When she arrived at the hall, no one was talking. Everyone was waiting to see when the Queen would explode.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

Xu Rou knelt down and said, “That bitch Huang Bin will not be able to escape today.”

"Tell me, what is the reason today?"

The Queen tried her best to calm herself down. This matter had been planned for several days, and she couldn't let it go to waste.

If this happened on any other day, she would not let Huang Bin go, but it happened today...

"Your Majesty, Concubine Huang seduced the Emperor to take her out of the palace. I was so angry that I said a few words to her, and she started beating me." Xu Rou said with sobs.

"Oh, the emperor took Huangpin out of the palace, how come I didn't know?"

The queen asked despite knowing the answer. Although she was the one who had the matter spread, she would not let anyone suspect that it was her doing by bringing it up at this time.

"Who in the entire harem doesn't know?" Xu Rou shouted.

"Queen, please ask everyone here, is there anyone who doesn't know this? Some people think they can fool others by pretending to be a eunuch..."

Huang Ye didn't say anything nor did she stand up to defend herself. She just... watched them perform quietly.

"Huangpin, what do you say?"

Seeing that Huang Ye remained silent, the Queen had no choice but to call out his name.

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Xu said is all true. I have nothing to say."

Huang Ye stood up and answered respectfully.

"Empress, she admitted it. Beating concubines in the harem is a serious crime. Please deal with it fairly, Empress." Xu Rou said happily.

The Queen was not as optimistic as she was. This Concubine Huang was not that easy to deal with. However...her eyes hurt when she saw Huang Ye's calmness.

"Xu Fei, although I didn't see what happened to you just now, I don't think it's as simple as you said."

"Miss Gao, can you please tell me what is going on?"

The queen cleverly changed the subject and revealed the fact that Concubine Huang had left the palace with the emperor.

Gao Meiren didn't expect that she would also be involved in the matter. She was determined to make Huang Ye be punished.

However, if she told the truth, the Queen might not punish her as Huangpin, and the consequences would be...

No, given the Queen's hatred for Concubine Huang, there is no way that Concubine Huang can escape today no matter what, so let's just tell the truth.

Besides, even if she wanted to favor Concubine Xu, there were so many eyes watching her, so she didn't dare to lie.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xu called Concubine Huang shameless, and then Concubine Huang hit Concubine Xu." Concubine Gao stood up and said.

"Your Highness, I can testify that Concubine Xu did scold my sister."

Wang Yuan stood up, holding her stomach, and spoke for Huang Ye.

However, considering what Miss Gao said before, it seemed a bit deliberate for her to stand up and speak now.

Huang Ye thought Wang Yuan was really interesting. These past few days, she had been deliberately hanging around him and trying hard to show her affection for him. If you didn’t know, you would think they were sisters.

"I have told you before that you should live in harmony, Concubine Xu, but you are turning a deaf ear to my words."

The Queen suddenly lost her temper and shouted at Xu Rou. Xu Rou didn't react for a moment. Was the Queen blaming her?

She is the victim, what happened? Was the beating she just received fake?

"Empress, I... Huangpin hit me...

Xu Rou murmured.

"You were the one who scolded her first. You asked for this, didn't you?"

The queen decided to make a quick decision, but once the sun came out the temperature rose, which was not conducive to the next plan.

Gao Meiren saw that things were going to get worse: "Empress, no matter what, it is a fact that Huangpin beat someone up, and the harem beat someone up..."

Her voice became lower and lower because she found that the Queen's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

How can I describe the look in his eyes when he looked at her? It was like that of a poisonous snake, making her bones cold.

"Okay, you are all sisters. This happened because Concubine Xu scolded people first. Concubine Huang should remember not to take action easily in the future."

Seeing that Concubine Gao was tactful and stopped talking, the Queen's expression softened and she lightly let the matter go.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your magnanimity and wisdom." Huang Ye flattered her.

Look, how well she knew the queen. She guessed that even if she did something extremely treasonous today, the queen would not punish her.

Because in the eyes of the Queen, today is the day she will die, and the Queen will not bother with a dead person.

That's why she took advantage of this good day to severely punish Xu Rou and Gao Meiren.

These two people really think that Huang Ye is a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will. They are so naive.

Lady Gao's face turned pale. She was finished. How stupid she was to make a bet with that cunning Concubine Huang.

"Well, just now Madam Yang was telling me that the lotus flowers in the palace were in full bloom. Seeing that you all gathered together today, I was planning to take you over to see them, but who would have thought that this would happen..."

Nanny Yang came over and said, "Madam, the lotus flowers are so beautiful. The pink and white ones... there are even beads of dew on them..."

"I want to go and take a look. I wonder if the Queen is willing to take us with her?"

Gao Meiren realized at this time that she was so stupid. The Queen must have her own plan. If she curry favor with the Queen, maybe she would say a word and the bet would be invalid.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician that walking around more and looking at more beautiful scenery and flowers will be good for the heir to the throne."

Wang Yuan quickly responded, meaning that she also wanted to see the lotus flowers.

"Then you..." The queen looked at everyone inquiringly.

"Your Majesty, we haven't eaten yet."

Concubine Lin reminded with a smile. She sensitively sensed that something was about to happen and it might involve Concubine Huang.

This is a handy weapon in her hand. Didn’t you see that she dared to swing her arm to hit someone just now? Such a powerful helper cannot be tricked by others.

"Your Majesty, I'm hungry too." Concubine Du also stood up and said.

"I'm all hungry. It's my fault. I forgot the time because of Concubine Xu's disturbance."

The Queen smiled at Nanny Yang and said, "Send someone to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks for them to eat, so they won't be hungry when they go to see the flowers later."

"The servant knows."

Nanny Yang went out to give instructions, and everyone sitting in the hall was feeling uneasy.

Although it was not clear what was going to happen, the Queen insisted on letting them go to appreciate the flowers today.
