Chapter 329 The two had a plan
"My Lady, Sister Ying, Aunt Shixiang, are you still in pain?"
After Concubine Hui and others left, the gate of Ciyu Palace was closed again.
At the Queen Mother's order, Yu Sujin and the others were sent to the palace by the palace maids, where they undressed and had their injuries checked.
Everyone's shoulders were red, and the worst off was Zheng Zhuyi, who was beaten fifty times. Most of her shoulder was swollen, and the purple and red bruises looked scary.
Yu Sujin stepped forward with concern.
Regardless of his own injuries, he took the ointment from the palace maid and applied it to Zheng Zhuyi.
"Today's events were all caused by me. If the steamed cheese I made had been to the Empress Dowager's liking, perhaps all the subsequent events would not have occurred... Your Majesty, please don't be angry with me anymore. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I kowtow to you and apologize."
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Then he didn't stand up, but knelt upright and applied medicine to Zheng Zhuyi.
Zheng Zhuyi lay on the spring stool, not having the energy to deal with her. She just said "hmm" casually as a consent, closed her eyes and let herself be served.
Yu Sujin applied it to Zhishu again.
Zhishu dismissed her.
Then there is Aunt Tohka.
The nanny said, "Please take care of yourself first, my dear. I have a palace maid here to help. Thank you very much."
Yu Sujin turned around before returning to her seat and letting the palace maid apply medicine on her.
He also had to comfort the Queen Mother beside him.
"Relax, old lady! The antics of Concubine Yue and Concubine Hui are only temporary. You are the Empress Dowager, after all, and His Majesty still cares deeply about you. Furthermore, none of the civil and military officials, censors, or imperial officials in the court will tolerate Concubine Hui's repeated misconduct. Her outburst is too much; I'm afraid the ban on Ciyun Palace will be lifted in a few days."
The Empress Dowager was still angry, and Yu Sujin kept talking for a long time until everyone had finished applying the ointment, and then her expression relaxed a little.
First he said to Yu Sujin, "You are such a sensible child."
He comforted everyone with a few words and gave each of them a set of clothes, some cloth, and some jewelry to compensate them for their grievances.
Only then did they disperse and go to the side hall to find a place to stay and rest.
Only Zheng Zhuyi remained: "You acted rashly today. I will teach you a lesson."
"Yes."
Zheng Zhuyi lowered her head.
Until several people left and the palace maids serving in the room also left, leaving only the two of them facing each other, the empress dowager's gloomy expression suddenly improved.
Smiled at Zheng Zhuyi.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you today. You behaved well, but I feel really bad for taking such a beating."
Zheng Zhuyi supported herself and sat up from the spring stool. Enduring the pain, she slowly stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, your words are too profound. I am honored to work for you. A beating is nothing to me. As long as the Empress Dowager regains her glory in the future, severely punishes Concubine Yue and Concubine Hui, and cleans up the palace, all my efforts will be worth it."
Even Yu Sujin didn't know that the two of them had actually planned it in advance.
The Queen Mother smiled gently: "Don't worry, this day will come soon. When the time comes, I will not treat you unfairly. Noble Concubine is nothing, you are also worthy of the position of Imperial Concubine."
Zheng Zhuyi nodded vigorously, but it hurt her shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain, and even her smug smile was distorted.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "This concubine never imagined that today, we were supposed to deal with Concubine Zhao, but Concubine Hui would cause such a commotion, and even Concubine Yue would dare to come and act wildly. If this matter gets out of hand, let's see how they will deal with the court censors! Don't worry, Empress Dowager, everything has been arranged outside. Soon, memorials will be pouring in to impeach Concubine Zhao, Concubine Yue, and their gang!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Concubines should not interfere in government affairs. But with seduction in power and the situation difficult, this is the only way."
The two smiled at each other.
Their faces were full of anticipation.
