Chapter 268 The Emperor Discovers the Palace Maid Abusing Qinghe

After Lord Yan returned to the study with a heavy heart, Yan Shixun asked, "Dad, how is Miss Yao's matter going?"

Lord Yan raised his head and looked at him, "Xun'er, after you came back from the Xi family, why didn't you tell me that the embroiderer looked exactly like your grandmother!"

Yan Shixun was stunned and explained in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to cause such a big incident, so I didn't tell you..."

Master Yan sighed silently in his heart: "You don't know things that are even more outrageous than this..."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and stood up from his chair, staring ahead in amazement, "No way?"

Yan Shixun was surprised and asked, "Dad, what is not?"

Lord Yan sighed, waved at his son, and said nothing!

……

Ever since Qinghe moved into Wutong Pavilion, the palace maids have been bullying her.

In particular, a palace maid named Si Ning often said behind the scenes with disdain: "A spy from Shunzhao Kingdom is worthy of being served by us? Maybe one day he will be dragged out and chopped to pieces!"

Si Ning's attitude also affected other palace maids, and they all began to look down on Qinghe.

The meals that were usually delivered were always cold, and sometimes had been shoveled away by chopsticks. The high-quality cosmetics and hair oils that were supplied daily were secretly divided up by the palace maids, and then some inferior goods were used to fool Qinghe.

Not only that, he was often nowhere to be seen, never did tasks like making the bed or serving tea or water, and always pretended not to hear when someone called him.

And they also gossiped behind her back, mocking Qing He as a whore who tried to seduce the emperor with her beauty, and pretended to wait for the emperor to come to see her every day...

Qing He was well aware of her current situation and only hoped that she could be released soon, so she did not complain to the emperor.

This sent a wrong signal to those people, making them think that Qinghe could be bullied at will, so they started to bully Qinghe even more severely!

She often deliberately gave her some rotten food to eat, and asked her to wash her own clothes and empty the toilet. She also said sarcastically: "A spy of low birth is a waste of food for the palace! It would be better for her to die early! Otherwise, the emperor would come here every now and then, and we couldn't rest and had to serve him!"

Several other palace maids also said, "Yeah, that's right! It would be better to just end it all!"

The mental depression and abuse in life made Qinghe's health worse day by day. From being weak at the beginning, she gradually became sickly lying in bed all day long, and her face became increasingly pale and thin.

The palace maids neither went to call the imperial physician nor reported to the eunuch in charge. They all pretended not to see anything and hid aside every day, laughing and chatting happily!

Among these people, only one palace maid named Xiaofeng still had some conscience. Seeing Qinghe getting thinner and thinner, she would often steal some cakes and put them in her sleeves, and secretly bring them to Qinghe to eat, but Qinghe became sicker and sicker day by day.

That day she was lying in bed with a fever and talking nonsense: "Mom, do you think the lotus I painted is beautiful..."

Xiaofeng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing these words.

She felt that the girl imprisoned in Wutong Pavilion had a calm personality and was kind to others. She did not seem like a trained spy, but rather like a rich lady who had been pampered since childhood. However, all the senior palace maids despised Xiaofeng, scolding her for selling out her country for personal gain and stooping to please a spy from an enemy country!

Xiaofeng had little influence and could only swallow her anger and listen to their insults. She secretly got some ginseng roots to make tea for Qinghe to drink, hoping that it would nourish her body and get better soon.

On this day, the senior palace maids hid in their rooms, cracking melon seeds and chatting, discussing which master they would serve after Qinghe died.

Some said, "My sister is in Concubine Yu's room. She has already talked to the nanny there for me. As soon as this sickly person here dies, she will arrange for me to go there immediately!"

Some said, "I want to go to Fang Chang's place. She is in need of a maid who can comb her hair. She likes my skills. I used to be a second-class maid in charge of bathing, which is one level higher than here."

Several people were talking to each other, and they had all made plans. Only Si Ning was leisurely cracking melon seeds without saying a word.

The maid Changyin asked, "Hey, have you decided where to go?"

Another maid, Lan Duo, said, "Tsk, no need to ask, they must have found a place long ago!"

Si Ning spat out the melon seed shells and said proudly, "I'm going to Concubine Yun's palace. She's in need of someone who's perceptive and hardworking. Eunuch Zhang recommended me to her!"

Several palace maids said enviously: "Wow, how amazing!"

"That's right. There are only two concubines in the palace. Concubine Yun's family is a general of the current dynasty. It's unknown whether she can be promoted to a noble concubine in the future! You are so proud of going there..."

Just as they were talking about the future, a majestic voice suddenly came from the door and asked, "Really?"

The palace maids looked towards the door in shock and found that the emperor had arrived at some point!

At this moment, he was standing outside the door, looking at them calmly!

The frightened people hurriedly got off the kang, knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed, saying: "Your servant greets His Majesty!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he shouted, "I ordered you to serve Qing He, who told you to abuse her!!! If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid she would have died in the hands of you slaves who flatter the powerful and bully the weak! Come on, drag these lawless and reckless bitches out and beat them to death!"

As soon as these words came out, Si Ning and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled like sieves, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare us! We know we were wrong! We will never dare to do it again next time!"

The emperor had a gloomy face and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Take him out quickly! I hate this kind of dog slave who bullies others by taking advantage of his power the most in my life!"

Several guards came in from outside and dragged several palace maids out without saying a word.

The emperor turned around again and looked coldly at Xining, the eunuch in charge of Wutong Pavilion, and said, "And you, they have been neglecting their duties for a long time, right? Where are your eyes? Qinghe has been lying there sick for many days, and you actually did nothing about it and did not report it to me! Come on, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!"

The eunuch was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body and cried out, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I deserve to die! Please, for the sake of my careful service, spare me this time!"

The emperor was not moved at all, and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you scared now? It's too late! I want everyone to know that heartless people like you are not worthy of serving in the palace!"
