Chapter 12 Be beaten
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was stunned, and her words were prevarised by Hu Yimeng!
She frowned unhappily, "What about last month? Isn't the emperor staying with you?
"If the Empress Dowager said so, she is really an unjust concubine." Hu Yimeng said slowly, "Didn't the emperor stay with Shufei's sister on the 25th of last month?"
"Huifei! Do you have to refute a sad sentence? Have you ever paid attention to your family!" The Empress Dowager patted the table and got angry.
She climbed step by step from the beauty of the late emperor to the position of the current empress dowager. No one dared to refute her in the harem, but this Hu Yimeng angered her once and again. Today, her new hatred and old hatred are added together. If this woman is not punished, it is really difficult to eliminate her hatred!
"Empress dowager, forgive me, my concubine has always respected you as a mother. How can I disrespect you and not pay attention to you?" Hu Yimeng got up and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager and said meekly.
"Hmm! Do you mourn your family like your mother? If you mourn your family like your mother, how can you not put the words and advice of your family in your heart? On the contrary, you have repeatedly violated the will of the mourning family. Are you mourning your family like a mother?!"
Hu Yimeng bowed her head and said nothing. She knew that the Empress Dowager had made up her mind to play the topic this time, but she didn't know how she planned to deal with herself.
Seeing that her mother was deliberately embarrassed by the Empress Dowager, Xing Yan and Yue Fu were very anxious.
Xingyan hated the empress dowager very much, but now she hates the empress dowager in her heart.
Yuefu has been in the palace for many years, and she has been serving beside Beichen Yeli before. Naturally, she is very clear about the Empress Dowager. Seeing that the Empress Dowager made things difficult for her master, she couldn't help sinking down. It seems that she has to find a way to inform the emperor about this matter!
"Hmm! My family has been in charge of the harem for many years. If I don't punish you today, it's really difficult to calm the resentment of the harem!" The empress dowager attracted the father-in-law who was waiting beside her with a cold face and said, "Little He, when the former emperor was alive, Fang Zhaoyi was jealous and dominated the emperor's favor, which made the harem miasmoky. The ladies of each palace complained. How did the empress in charge of the harem deal with Fang Zhaoyi at that time?"
After listening to the Empress Dowager's question, Grandpa He replied respectfully, "The Empress killed Fang Zhaoyi on the charge of jealousy and **- chaos."
"Oh? How does Huifei compare with Fang Zhaoyi? The Empress Dowager continued to ask.
"In those years, the former emperor stayed in Fangzhaoyi Palace for half a month, but now the emperor stayed in Changle Palace for a whole month." Grandpa He secretly looked at the Empress Dowager's face and replied.
"Hmm! Huifei, how do you think the mourning family should punish you? The Empress Dowager looked at Hu Yimeng and asked with a sneer.
"The concubine thinks that the Empress Dowager should not punish the concubine." Hu Yimeng straightened his back and said neither humble nor arrogant.
"Shouldn't you be punished? Then why shouldn't you punish you? The Empress Dowager asked.
"Empress dowager, my concubine moved from Ganquan Palace to Changle Palace just to let the emperor share the rain and dew in this harem. Not long after my concubine entered the palace, the emperor didn't know much about the things in the palace and asked my concubine to live in Ganquan Palace. The concubine did not know the etiquette in the palace and lived in the past. Now the concubine knew that she should not have lived in Ganquan Palace so well, so she took the initiative to ask the emperor to move from Ganquan Palace to Changle Palace. The concubine just wanted to do this. Reflect on your mistakes. I just want to reflect on myself in Changle Palace now. But the emperor probably feels that he is used to being served by his concubine, so he will still come to Changle Palace every day. The emperor is the emperor and the owner of this palace. He can't prevent the emperor from coming to Changle Palace. Please ask the Empress Dowager to observe it clearly. Hu Yimeng said.
"Smart words, strong words and reason!" The Empress Dowager stared and obviously did not want to believe Hu Yimeng's words.
The Empress Dowager pointed straight at Hu Yimeng and almost poked her face. "If it weren't for something unclear between you and Shangguan Moxuan, how could you move from Ganquan Palace to the lonely Changle Palace?! Don't think that if your family doesn't leave the Cining Palace every day, you won't listen to everything in the harem! To the evil of your ** harem, I should kill you with a cane!"
"Empress Dowager! Please take care of yourself! Don't talk nonsense and damage your identity!" Hu Yimeng looked directly at the empress dowager and said, "The last time the emperor gave the death of Concubine De, he had already found out the context of the matter!" The concubine and Shangguan are innocent, and nothing happened! Everything is a rumor made by Empress Defei behind her back! Now the culprit, the Imperial Concubine, has been ambushed. The Empress Dowager is originally the concubine's direct aunt. At this moment, the Empress Dowager's words really makes people misunderstand that there is a close relationship between you and the Imperial Concubine De! Therefore, I beg the Empress Dowager to be cautious in her words and deeds!"
"Bang!" The Empress Dowager slapped Hu Yimeng on the cheek.
A red palm print floated on Hu Yimeng's white and tender cheeks in an instant.
"It's the opposite! Oppesite! Come on! Why don't you capture this bold Huifei!" The Empress Dowager shouted.
A eunuch in the palace quickly grabbed Hu Yimeng's arms and pressed her in front of the empress dowager.
"Little Hezi, slap her mouth! Beat it hard!" The Empress Dowager commanded Grandpa He to hold Hu Yimeng's mouth.
Gong He rolled up his sleeves and walked to Hu Yimeng. There was no smile on his face, which was always full of smiles. On the contrary, he was ferocious and terrible.
"Empress Huifei, I'm sorry, this is the order of the Empress Dowager, and the old slave has to do it according to the Empress Dowager!" Grandpa He said with a smile.
Seeing that Hu Yimeng was about to be beaten, Yuefu winced at Xingyan and asked her to quickly invite the emperor to save her mother. Then she rushed forward and protected Hu Yimeng behind her and begged, "Empress dowager, please don't hit my mother. My mother is certainly wrong, but please wait for the emperor to come. Let's punish it later."
"What are you, and how dare you plead with the Empress Dowager?" Eunuch He stared and quickly commanded the other eunuch maids to pull Yuefu away from Hu Yimeng, cut her arms back, pressed them to one side, and couldn't help but slap her twice.
Yuefu's little face swelled in an instant, and the corners of her mouth were broken and bleeding.
And Xingyan took this opportunity to slip out of Cining Palace. At this moment, she was very anxious. She was afraid that if the time was delayed, her mother would suffer more, so she would no longer hide her kung fu, carry light skills, and run in the direction of the imperial study.
The chaos in Cining Palace should have just now. No one noticed that Xing Yan slipped away, and the empress dowager's attention was all focused on how to punish Hu Yimeng, take a breath for herself and for Shufei's tragically dead niece, Concubine De.
"Hmm!" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and glanced back and forth between Hu Yimeng and Yuefu, "Aren't you two deeply in love with master and servant? Then let's be punished together! Grandpa He and Mother Zhang, you two beat your family together! Fight until the family is satisfied!" The Empress Dowager said coldly.
