After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

King Ming directly brought the people into the palace.

When Qiao Nian woke up, he was in Concubine De's palace.

Looking at the luxurious decorations in the house, Qiao Nian then remembered that she had fainted before being carried into the carriage by Prince Ming. Her heart sank, and she subconsciously struggled to get up.

Unexpectedly, Concubine De Gui was pushing the door in. When she saw her waking up, she hurriedly came up to her, "Get down quickly. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't move around."

But Qiao Nian had already sat up, so there was no reason to lie back down. She was about to get out of bed and salute Concubine De, but she was stopped again, "You kid, why do you care about such red tape when you are so seriously injured?"

Concubine De Gui said and waved to the palace maid holding the medicine.

The palace maid brought the medicine over, and Concubine De Gui took it, scooped up a spoonful with her own hands, blew on it, and brought it to Qiao Nian's mouth, "This is medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital. It is effective in treating trauma. Come on, take advantage of this." Drink hot.”

Qiao Nian was startled and said, "Young women can do it yourself." She was about to reach out to pick it up, but Concubine De Gui dodged it.

"You're still hurt, how can you do it by yourself? Be good and open your mouth."

Concubine De's voice was very gentle, and her tone was like a hot spring, as if she wanted to melt Qiao Nian's heart.

Qiao Nian didn't refuse anymore and opened her mouth obediently.

The bitter medicine was put into her mouth and she swallowed it, but the scene of Mrs. Lin giving her medicine when she was sick as a child came to mind.

It was like this one bite at a time, blowing gently before putting it into her mouth, for fear of burning her...

It's just that those memories were too far away, so far away that it made the tip of one's nose feel sore, and Qiao Nian's eyes turned slightly red.

Concubine De Gui noticed it immediately and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is the wound hurting, or is the medicine too bitter?"

Speaking of her injuries, Concubine De Gui still felt a twitch in her heart.

That boy from the Lin family was too cruel!

Qiao Nian shook his head slightly and said nothing.

The medicine is not bitter, and the wound does not hurt as much as my heart.

She just recalled memories from a long, long time ago for no reason.

At that time, she still had relatives, and her relatives were very good to her, pampered her, and loved her.

But later, she was left with only a group of strangers who bullied her and wronged her in front of her relatives...

She thought of the wound on her back, which probably could not be healed by the mammies from the Clothes Bureau, despite their best efforts.

But in front of so many people, Lin Ye was able to kill him.

Oh!

How dare he keep saying that he is her brother?

Her brother would never hit her like this!

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it was even bitterer than the bowl of medicine in Concubine De's hand. "I haven't thanked His Highness Prince Ming for saving me today."

But who would have expected that Concubine De Gui's expression changed when she mentioned Prince Ming.

Before Qiao Nian could ask in detail, Aunt Qing'er, the eldest palace maid next to Concubine De, suddenly rushed in and said, "My dear, it's not good, the emperor wants to hit the prince!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but be shocked.

But Concubine De Gui snorted coldly, "Hit him as he pleases. Who told him to be so imprudent? How did he beat the young Marquis?"

Qiao Nian suddenly understood that Prince Ming was punished by the emperor because of her.

Thinking that Lin Ye was still being beaten before he was carried away by King Ming, he must have been seriously injured.

But she didn't know if it was because Qiao Nian was silent, Concubine De Gui added, "Even if it's just to vent Qiao Nian's anger, you can't do that kind of death!"

No matter how stupid Qiao Nian was, she should have understood what Concubine De Gui meant at this moment. She immediately said, "Since this matter happened because of me, it is up to me and the emperor to explain it." After that, she got out of bed.

Concubine De Gui stood up and said, "You haven't recovered from your injuries yet, so you must not..."

In fact, Qiao Nian was touched by Concubine De for a moment just now, but now, that touch has long since disappeared.

She smiled at Concubine De and said, "Don't worry, Madam." After that, she walked out.

Concubine De Gui had to decide whether she was worried about her injury or worried about Prince Ming.

Although Qiao Nian spent most of the three years in the Huanyi Bureau washing clothes, there were also many times when she followed her grandma to deliver things to various palaces.

Therefore, she is very familiar with the way of the palace.

Not long after, she found herself outside the royal study room.

After getting the pass, she followed a father-in-law into the imperial study, only to see that in addition to Lin Houye and his wife, Xiao Heng was also in the imperial study.

Are they all here to complain?

Qiao Nian was secretly sarcastic in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "The civilian daughter Qiao Nian pays her respects to the emperor."

In front of the desk, the bright yellow figure looked at Qiao Nian, "Are you Qiao Nian?"

The deep voice carried an aura of majesty. Even if the voice was not loud, it still made people feel panicked when it echoed in the hall.

Qiao Nian responded respectfully, "She is a daughter of the people."

"Ha." A sneer revealed a strong sense of sarcasm, "You are really good at it. Three years ago, you made trouble for both the Marquis Mansion and me, and now you are harming my son again."

Qiao Nian's heart skipped a beat, and she could tell from just these words that the emperor didn't like her.

So today, no matter what she said in front of the emperor, the emperor probably wouldn't believe it. What's more, the Marquis Lin and his wife and Xiao Heng were still present, one-on-one, no matter what, they would all suffer.

Therefore, Qiao Nian kowtowed heavily and said, "Yes, everything is the fault of the people's daughters and has nothing to do with King Ming. I also ask the emperor to punish the people's daughters and spare His Highness King Ming!"

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Nian could feel a sharp gaze that seemed to penetrate her.

Xiao Heng never thought that Qiao Nian would do this for the sake of King Ming, and his eyes were dark.

But at this moment, a figure hurriedly came from outside the imperial study, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

It was Concubine De.

The emperor exempted Concubine De from the ceremony, and Concubine De stood up and looked at Qiao Nian, frowning, "How can you run so fast after just waking up from a coma? I can't catch up with you."

Qiao Nian lowered her head and said nothing.

But the big maid Qing'er behind Concubine De suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Miss Qiao is bleeding from her back!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Concubine De looked at the back of Qiao Nian and covered her mouth in shock, "It must be a wound that has broken. Your Majesty, please send the imperial doctor to check on Miss Qiao!"

The emperor was puzzled, "Didn't you say that Lin Ye just gave her a lesson, and she was so badly injured?"

It was still winter, and he saw that Qiao Nian was wearing quite a lot of clothes, but she was bleeding?

But I heard Concubine De say, "I thought the injury was not serious, but who knew... Alas! Although this girl is not the Marquis's biological daughter, she has been raised by the Marquis's mansion for fifteen years. As a brother, it is right for the young Marquis to teach her a lesson, but, in front of hundreds of people, she beat her like this..."

Concubine De did not continue to say the rest of the words, but the emperor understood them all.

It was because Lin Ye was too heavy-handed that the King of Ming could not bear it anymore and ordered people to beat Lin Ye seriously.

In this way, it was still Lin Ye's own fault.

The emperor's face darkened slightly, and he turned to look at Marquis Lin, "My dear Lin, this one is your eldest son, and the other is your daughter who has been pampered for fifteen years. Tell me, what should you do?"
