The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"Xue Fei, at this point, do you still want to quibble?"

Concubine Qing's cold and stern look made Concubine Xue tremble physically and mentally, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say in defense.

But this was not her doing, how could she be willing to admit it?

In a hurry, she said: "Empress Qing, you can't just listen to Concubine Yun's one-sided words on this matter, why not let the Empress decide on this matter!"

In her mind, Shen Qingyan is like a ray of light in her life, able to sweep away the darkness and will definitely clear her name!

Unfortunately, her hopes were instantly extinguished by Concubine Yun.

"Xue Fei, you need to understand clearly that the Empress is very busy. Do you still want to use her to support you? The evidence is irrefutable. What are you still trying to argue about? My palace maids have seen it all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several palace maids and eunuchs behind her echoed her.

Concubine Yun was favored at home and brought a lot of money with her after entering the palace, so the palace maids and eunuchs had already been bribed by her.

Xue Fei was so anxious that she was about to cry. It happened that her mouth was quick only when she was eating, and she was extremely tongue-tied when it came to quarreling.

When Concubine Qing heard Concubine Yun's words, she also felt that it made sense.

If the Queen Mother had to solve all problems personally, she would definitely feel that she, as the concubine in the main position, was useless, so she made a decision.

"Xue Fei verbally insulted Yun Fei and even beat her up. She should apologize to Yun Fei and be confined to her house for three days!"

what?

Concubine Xue couldn't believe her ears, "Empress Qing, you, you are clearly biased!"

"What did you say?" Concubine Qing was furious. She felt that her good temper had been worn away by Concubine Xue. "Concubine Xue, are you still going to be disrespectful to me?"

Concubine Xue was suddenly speechless. She could only apologize to Concubine Yun reluctantly with tears in her eyes, and then she was locked up in her courtyard.

Tangyuan was so angry that his eyes turned red and he wanted to slap himself in the face.

"I am useless. I failed to protect you..."

Xue Fei was also so angry that she burst into tears. She shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. It's my fault for being too weak."

She had already exhausted all her courage in the face-to-face confrontation with Concubine Yun yesterday, and now she was completely defeated when she faced her again today...

She felt so useless.

Tang Yuan quietly wiped away her tears and said quickly: "My queen, I will ask the queen to do justice for us."

Concubine Xue sighed and shook her head, "It's useless. Concubine Qing and Concubine Yun will definitely find someone to keep an eye on us. Moreover...if Concubine Qing reports this to the Empress first, we will be helpless to prove ourselves."

Tangyuan felt even more sad. Should he just accept his fate?

What if I encounter this kind of thing again in the future? Do I have to just swallow my anger?

Tangyuan felt sorry for his master, and after much thought, a bold idea formed in his mind.

*

Two days later.

The weather is very good today, Shen Qingyan takes little Yuxuan to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers and bask in the sun.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the lotus pond.

Shen Qingyan just took a glance and frowned slightly.

"Didn't you ask Xue Fei to raise fish and grow vegetables? Why is there nothing?"

Qingmei hurried forward and said, "Empress, Concubine Xue has been under house arrest these days, so she can't come."

Shen Qingyan was even more confused. "Confinement? I didn't confine her."

Qingmei explained, "Two days ago, Concubine Qing came to report that Concubine Xue had spoken rudely to Concubine Yun and had hit someone, so Concubine Qing had confined her to her room for three days as punishment."

"You and the Emperor were having dinner at the time, so I didn't bother disturbing you and the Emperor with these little things."

Shen Qingyan felt something was wrong.

Xue Fei doesn't look like such an arrogant person. Could it be that she would be so arrogant just because she raises fish and grows vegetables?

"From now on, no matter how big or small the matter is, you must report it to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Afterwards, Shen Qingyan took Yu Xuan back to Zhaohua Palace. During the trip, they took a detour and passed by Yaochun Palace.

There was silence in Yaochun Palace. Just when Shen Qingyan was about to leave, a palace maid stumbled out from a small door.

As soon as she saw Shen Qingyan, she fell to her knees.

"Queen, help me!"

"How dare you! You offended the Queen. What crime should you be punished for?"

Qingmei and Zhiqing stood on the left and right, protecting Shen Qingyan and shouting.

The palace maid didn't care about etiquette and kowtowed her head loudly.

"Please forgive me, Queen. I am the Tangyuan beside Queen Xuefei. I came here to ask you to save my queen's life. She is dying!"

Shen Qingyan's expression froze, and she asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Tang Yuan was in a state of disgrace. He looked behind him in a panic and then said quickly, "Empress Qing and Empress Yun jointly framed my Empress and confined us to our quarters. They even withheld a lot of our food..."

"Empress, you know my queen's illness. How could she endure such torture?"

Shen Qingyan did not rush to reply to her words, but asked coldly: "What are you looking back at?"

Tang Yuan wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "Empress Yun did not allow me and Empress Xue to come out. I ran away on purpose to seek justice for Empress Xue. I think it won't be long before Empress Yun catches me back."

Shen Qingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. She believed what Tangyuan said, but not completely.

"Come here, call the imperial doctor."

Then she asked Qingmei and the maids to send little Yuxuan back first, and she took Zhiqing and others into Yaochun Palace.

Concubine Qing and Concubine Yun were caught off guard by Shen Qingyan's arrival and hurried out to greet her.

Before that, Shen Qingyan asked Tangyuan to hide in the dark.

So she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Where is Xue Fei?"

Just as Concubine Qing was about to explain, Concubine Yun spoke up first: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is still under house arrest."

Concubine Qing had no choice but to swallow back what she was about to say.

Shen Qingyan continued to ask calmly.

"What's going on? Who confined Xue Fei?"

Concubine Qing wanted to speak again, but Concubine Yun spoke first.

"Don't you know, Queen? Sister Qingfei specially let someone inform you two days ago."

"Speaking of which, Queen, please do not blame Sister Qingfei. She did this because she could not stand seeing Xuefei bullying me."

Concubine Qing frowned, as she felt like Concubine Yun was trying to drag her into this.

Shen Qingyan listened quietly to what Concubine Yun said and uttered two words lightly.

"Palm mouth."

"Yes."

Zhiqing and others acted quickly and started beating Yunfei by holding her down.

Concubine Yun was horrified. While being beaten, she asked anxiously, "My Queen, what mistake have I made? Ah!"

This time Shen Qingyan would not let Zhiqing show mercy. After all, it was really abominable that he committed the crime knowingly.

After being slapped one after another, Yun Fei's mouth and the surrounding skin became red and swollen.

Concubine Yun finally stopped worrying about why she was slapped, and instead kept begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I know I was wrong!"
