"The Queen has mercy on me, and I am willing to kneel down as punishment. I beg your Majesty to forgive me."

Lu Mingzhu cried and begged for mercy. The thought of her hand turning thirty made her feel uneasy. Her tears were mixed with snot, but she still looked pitiful: "Third Sister, Third Sister, please help me to beg the Empress."

At this time, the ladies who had sympathized with her just now wished they could stay a few feet away from her, fearing that the queen's anger would burn onto them, and their eyes changed when they looked at Lu Xiang again.

The turn happened so fast, like a tornado, that they were caught off guard.

Queen Song glanced at her coldly: "Forty..."

What forty?

Some people were stunned, not understanding what Empress Song meant by her words.

But some people quickly realized that the Empress meant Lu Mingzhu's mouth was forty.

Among these people, Lu Mingzhu was naturally included. She looked at the queen with a pair of eyes red from crying, but she did not dare to say another word, but she hated Lu Xiang in her heart.

A nun came forward with a bamboo board and slapped Lu Mingzhu hard on the mouth with an expressionless face.

"ah……"

In just one move, Lu Mingzhu's moist and shiny lips were broken, and she let out a scream.

The nun in charge had no sympathy for her, and the other person grabbed her head from behind so that she could not escape.

Before Lu Mingzhu could catch her breath, the bamboo boards were slapped on her mouth one after another, making her unable to scream. Within a moment, her lips became swollen.

After forty lashes, Lu Mingzhu's entire face could no longer be seen. As soon as grandma let go, she fell to the ground weakly and bonelessly.

Liu Anyao watched it from beginning to end, her delicate little face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. The queen did not let her leave, and she did not dare to leave.

In the past, she had only seen other people slap their mouths, because just fanning them with their hands would make the executioner's hands numb and swollen, so she developed this kind of bamboo board. The thin piece looks like it has no weight, but it is slapped on the mouth.

But it is torture.

Liu Anyao had seen Concubine Shu use this trick to beat the mouth of a palace maid...

Empress Song deliberately asked Liu Anyao to stay and watch the whole process of Lu Mingzhu's mouth. Hehe, little hoof, no matter how capable Concubine Shu is, she is still a concubine. Even if she is just a successor, she is also the master of the harem. In the past, she did not bother to be with them because of the emperor.

After all, these women thought that she, Song Nanyue, was easy to bully.

Lu Mingzhu knew clearly that Lu Xiang was invited to the palace for the banquet by her, but she made trouble in front of Concubine Shu. Today, she plotted against Lu Xiang and Liu Anyao tried to tell lies. Who can say that there was no concubine Shu's acquiescence in this.

Anyone who dares to bully her, even if she punished Concubine Shu today, she can only hold it in!

"Yunlu, send Miss Liu back to Chuxiu Palace." Empress Song looked at Liu Anyao with a gloomy look: "Look at grandma and slap her mouth, then come back and resume her life."

Yunlu Fushen responded: "Yes, empress."

After that, she led her grandma to Liu Anyao and smiled: "Miss Liu, please."

Liu Anyao dared not speak out in anger, and her body was shaky with anger. Someone came to help her, but she pushed her away angrily and staggered to Chuxiu Palace.

When the Queen Mother hits her, it means hitting Concubine Shu in the face. The Queen Mother will not just let it go.

The hatred of today's humiliation is irreconcilable!

In the Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Shu was talking to Concubine Zhen and other concubines. The Queen was hosting a banquet, so they naturally had to attend. However, Concubine Shu was not on good terms with the Queen, so most of the time she would never arrive early. Today

is also like this.

Suddenly, the nun in charge hurried into the palace.

"Empress, something happened to Miss Cousin..." Grandma Wang hurriedly recounted what happened in the Royal Garden: "The Empress asked Yunlu to take Miss Cousin back to Chuxiu Palace to appease her. They are almost here..."

Concubine Shu slammed the table and said angrily: "What do you mean, Queen? Are you going to slap me in the face?"

When Concubine Zhen who was sitting nearby heard the Queen's punishment to Lu Mingzhu, her eyes darkened and she almost fainted.

Lu Xiang only had a relationship with the Queen once in Yangning City, how could he be so biased that even the Ninth Princess was punished...

Something must have happened in Yangning City back then.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Concubine Zhen looked at Concubine Shu anxiously and asked.

Concubine Shu shot the concubine fiercely with her eyes: "Idiot Lu Mingzhu, doesn't she use her brain before doing something?"

Even if he was punished, An Yao would be implicated.

Concubine Shu was extremely angry. She guessed that Lu Mingzhu would not be content today, but she did not expect that it would be such a useless thing. It was in vain that An Yao was still helping her, and in the end it was a waste of money.

Concubine Zhen's face turned red after being scolded by Concubine Shu, but she did not dare to retort, feeling extremely aggrieved.

How did she know that Lu Xiang was so valued by the Queen? If she had known, she would not have allowed Lu Mingzhu to mess around.

At this time, Liu Anyao entered the Chuxiu Palace with a dark face. Concubine Shu quickly walked out of the main hall after hearing the sound.

Yunlu saluted everyone without being humble or arrogant: "I have seen you ladies."

Concubine Shu looked at Yunlu with sharp eyes: "If An Yao offends the queen, I will definitely punish her. Please step back."

There is no doubt that this is

Liu Anyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew that her aunt would definitely save her.

Yunlu smiled lightly, folded her hands in front of her body, and said in a respectful tone: "The Queen ordered me to watch my grandma finish the beating and go back to her life. If I just leave like this, it will be difficult for the Queen to explain to me.

Concubine Shu, you don’t dare to disobey the Queen’s order.”

No matter how powerful Concubine Shu is in the palace, she will never be able to surpass the Queen in terms of this status. Once she is labeled as disobeying the Queen, not even the Queen Mother can save her.

The queen is in charge of all matters concerning the concubines and the harem.

Concubine Shu was swallowing hard at Yunlu's words, staring at Yunlu's beautiful eyes and wishing she would be beaten to death.

Yunlu turned a blind eye and turned around to tell her mother: "Do it."

Liu Anyao's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at the executioner who was getting closer and closer with horrified eyes...

Snap—pop—pop—pop—

A clear voice sounded above the Chuxiu Palace, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air. Everyone was silent and did not dare to look at Concubine Shu's extremely ugly face.

After twenty blows, Liu Anyao collapsed on the ground, and the palace maid quickly helped her up.

Yunlu knelt down and saluted Concubine Shu: "Our empress said that Miss Lu San is her distinguished guest. Today, for your sake, Concubine Shu, I will give you a small punishment or a big punishment. If I do it, I will cheat for others at will next time."

If you prove that Miss Lu San has been wronged, she will definitely not be lenient."

Concubine Shu was so angry that she fell backwards and gritted her teeth bitterly: "I respectfully respect the Queen's orders."

Is this a small punishment for her sake? Song Nanyue almost came to Chuxiu Palace in person and slapped her in the face.

Zhenbi looked at Yunlu blankly, staggering, and if someone behind her hadn't helped her, she might not have been able to stand.

The queen actually said that Lu Xiang was her... distinguished guest...
