Chapter 775 The Palace Maid's Revenge 7
Xiao He gave Xiao Zhuozi a fierce look, then looked at Concubine Jin and advised, "Your Majesty, why do you have to be so hard on a lowly maid? There are many people who dislike Jiang Chunxi, that lowly maid, so why do you need to deal with her?"
"Besides, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your baby and give birth to the prince in your belly. That is the most important thing. Don't kill the mouse and damage the jade bottle. If you kill a lowly maid and the prince in your belly gets hurt, what will you do?"
Concubine Jin was obviously persuaded by Xiaohe. After all, no matter how stupid Concubine Jin was, she knew her situation. Nothing was more important than the baby in her belly at the moment.
"Sister Xiaohe, from what you said, does that mean someone is bullying the queen? Should the queen just keep silent?" Xiao Zhuozi said unconvincedly, "If that's the case, then who in the palace will take the queen seriously in the future? The concubines will all look down on the queen."
"And if a mother is looked down upon, the little prince in her belly will be looked down upon even more by the other princes after he is born. How will he be able to fight with the other princes in the future? You know, there is only one position of the Supreme Emperor."
"Pa!" Xiao He slapped Xiao Zhuozi in the face, "You are asking for your life. How dare you say such a thing? Do you want to kill the queen?"
"I have long seen that you are not a good person. You are deliberately trying to provoke the Queen's anger. What is your intention? Or who has arranged your spy in Chonghua Palace?"
Xiao He had disliked Xiao Zhuozi for a long time. Ever since Xiao Zhuozi caught the eye of Concubine Jin, Xiao He's position as the senior palace maid was threatened. She had clearly felt that Concubine Jin didn't seem to value her as much as before.
Therefore, given this opportunity, Xiao He would naturally not let Xiao Zhuozi go, not to mention that Xiao Zhuozi's behavior was indeed very suspicious.
"I should be the one asking this question to Sister Xiao He!" Xiao Zhuozi retorted unconvincedly, "Our queen's background is nothing. She is a princess of a foreign country, and yet you let her swallow her anger against a lowly maid. What kind of logic is this?"
"You know, because of our queen's noble birth, even the queen has to give in to her, not to mention the other concubines."
"But now that your majesty has been slapped in the face by a lowly maid, if you choose to swallow your anger, who will take you seriously in the future?"
In fact, the concubines in the harem just thought that Concubine Jin was stupid enough. Besides, Concubine Jin was just a tribute, so they didn't bother to pay attention to her to avoid losing face.
But this gave Concubine Jin the illusion that she was of noble status and no one in the harem dared to mess with her.
Concubine Jin's eyes became sharp: "I think what Xiao Zhuozi said is very right, so I am very curious about which of you two has bad intentions!"
"Your Highness," Xiao He knelt on the ground in fear, "I have always been loyal to you, Your Highness knows this. Moreover, what I just advised you was entirely for your own good. How could Your Highness doubt my loyalty to you just because of Xiao Zhuozi's slanderous words?"
"I express my loyalty to my master not by words, but by what I do," said Xiao Zhuozi. "Sister Xiao He is so eager for the Majesty to degrade her precious status. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with loyalty!"
"Your Majesty," Xiao Zhuozi looked at Concubine Jin and said, "I don't mean to doubt Sister Xiao He, but Sister Xiao He's behavior just now is really worthy of suspicion. You are pregnant with a dragon fetus, so you must be careful about everything. You can't keep people with bad intentions around you, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
"Xiao Zhuozi, what deep hatred do I have against you that would make you harm me like this?" Xiao He looked at Concubine Jin with tears streaming down her face. "My Lady, I have been serving you since you entered the palace. The world can attest to my loyalty to you. You must not believe what Xiao Zhuozi said!"
"Sister Xiao He, what are you saying?" Xiao Zhuozi said sarcastically, "It's as if you are the only one who has been serving the Empress since she entered the palace. Every servant here has been serving the Empress since she entered the palace."
"Your Majesty," Xiao Zhuozi looked at Concubine Jin and said, "It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to trust one person by mistake! For the sake of the little prince in your belly, you should send Xiao He back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"Xiao He, since you have served me well, I will not punish you. Go back to the Imperial Household Department!" Concubine Jin said coldly:
Xiao He actually wanted to beg for mercy. After all, as a slave, if she was sent back to the Imperial Household Department by her master, she would never be assigned to any palace in the future. She could only be a palace maid of the lowest rank and do the hard work that would exhaust her to death.
But Xiao He also understood Concubine Jin, and knew that if she begged for mercy at this time, she would probably be tortured by Concubine Jin.
"Your Majesty, I bid you farewell." Xiao He kowtowed three times to Concubine Jin, then stood up and walked outside.
Xiao Zhuozi showed a smug smile, and then hurriedly said to Concubine Jin: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with that slave girl Jiang Chunxi? Do you want me to have someone keep an eye on that slave girl? As long as that slave girl is out of the emperor's sight, it will be easy for Your Majesty to deal with her."
"Even if the emperor knew about this later, he would not punish you for the sake of the prince in your belly. After all, no matter how interested this woman is, it is not as important as her own flesh and blood. The child in your belly is your umbrella of protection. As long as the child is in your belly, no matter what you do, the emperor will not do anything to you."
"And when the queen gives birth to the baby in her belly, the emperor will be blessed with a son. Even if the emperor is extremely angry with the queen, I think his anger will subside."
"Yes! You are right," Concubine Jin agreed with Xiao Zhuozi's words. After all, stupid people are so confident. "You should immediately arrange for people to keep a close eye on the Qinzheng Palace. As long as that slave leaves the Qinzheng Palace, that will be the day she dies."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Xiao Zhuozi said with his head lowered, the expression on his face was extremely sarcastic.
After all, fooling such a fool is nothing for Xiao Zhuozi to be proud of.
As for the ridicule...
Haha! No one can be so stupid. It is indeed worthy of being a tribute sent by a small foreign country. It is really not presentable at all!
Jiang Chunxi didn't know that Concubine Jin wanted to kill her.
Of course, even if she knew, Jiang Chunxi would not take it seriously. After all, whenever she went out to play, the emperor would send secret guards to follow her secretly to prevent her from being persecuted.
The emperor never looks down on the women in the harem. If a woman is really cruel, she can make a man feel inferior to her. Just look at the concubines in the late queen's harem.
