Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

The queen mother asked inexplicably, and then heard her report.

"The queen empress is here."

The queen mother twisted her eyebrows, the beads in her hand kept turning, she looked at Du Qingheng who was embarrassed on her face, turned her head and said to the servant **** one side.

"Let them in."

The queen took the concubine and concubine Shu came in from the door, and saluted the queen mother.

"The concubine pleases the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be happy." Three beautiful female voices spoke together, kneeling down respectfully.

"Get up, why do you want to greet the Aijia together?" The queen mother raised her eyes and looked at the queen suspiciously, very puzzled.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." After speaking, they all got up and stood there. After hearing the words, they turned around and glanced at Xu Qiuqiu, seeing that there was a sense of fear in her eyes for the Queen Mother.

Such an expression made Du Xuechun feel suspicious. Could it be that the Queen Mother has done anything?

Thinking of this, he retracted his thoughts and showed a decent smile.

"Sister Xianfei should explain this matter best." Mei Mou looked at Xu Qiuqiu who was standing behind her again.

"Oh? Concubine Xian, what happened? Why is this concubine crying and saying that the queen is going to kill her, and why is she so embarrassed?"

The Queen Mother's voice is majestic, after all, she has been a superior for many years, and the temperament of health preservation cannot be compared overnight.

Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but shudder when he heard it, and then saw Du Qingheng's proud eyes, secretly gritted his teeth.

"Enlighten the Empress Dowager..." he told the story one by one, including how this concubine framed himself.

After the queen mother listened, she paused for the buddha beads in her hand, and then continued to turn, her expression was not unusual, but she was thinking how to protect Du Qingheng in her heart.

"Call up the two court ladies, and the Ai family will interrogate them personally."

Du Xuechun's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, his eyes flashed, and he didn't answer, but stood aside respectfully and said nothing.

"Sit down." The queen mother waved her hand casually, and motioned for Sulian to serve tea next to her.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Knees bent slightly, and the three of them sat across the chairs.

Du Qingheng tidyed up his clothes in embarrassment, choked his nose, and sat on a chair. The once charming person was smeared with such heavy makeup, but it was a bit shocking, and he didn't see any weakness.

Such a demeanor made the Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu on the opposite side uncontrollable, and wanted to laugh loudly. However, the Queen Mother was here and didn't dare to make trouble.

"The empress dowager, people have already been brought." The court lady beside the empress dowager bowed and stepped back.

The two palace maids who were trembling all over had not seen the queen mother salute immediately, and their bodies trembled a little bit, and there was a faint sense of tide on their backs.

"The Aijia asks you, do you really see clearly? Is it because Concubine Liang deliberately framed Concubine Xian?"

The empress dowager's tone was slow and slow, and resounded throughout the lobby.

"Slaves...Slaves..." The two maids knelt on the ground, their hands trembling, their voices trembling, and the beads of sweat on their cheeks fell on the ground, frightened.

"What do you want to say, what are you doing?"

The queen mother suddenly raised the volume, becoming a little more impatient.

"Yes...yes, the servant girl really saw it." The palace servant was shocked and squashed his head in a hurried salute.

"Oh? Is that so?" The queen mother asked again, with a touch of danger in her tone.

With such a voiceover, Du Xuechun shook his heart, with a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, there was a sane handmaid who suddenly spoke, and pinched the handmaid beside her without a trace.

"Maybe the slave and maid made a mistake, but it's not necessarily true. After all, the distance was far away."

The pinched maid understood her meaning at this time, and hurriedly agreed with her, nodding fiercely.

Seeing the two maidservants turned back, the concubine Xian was unhappy, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Du Xuechun and gently shook her head to her, then looked at the queen mother on one side.

Concubine Xian was unwilling, suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at the proud concubine Liang's face, wishing to tear her apart.

"In that case, the words of these two maids are also innumerable, and besides, their words and deeds are unscrupulous and talkative. Such a maid keeps chewing tongues. Su Lian."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother turned her eyes slightly, her eyes swept over the person standing next to her.

"The old slave is here."

"Pull out the tongues of these two maids and throw them to Xinzheku."

The queen mother's two simple words determined the fate of the two maids.

After hearing this, the maid kowtows her head hurriedly, saying forgiveness.

"Take it down." Su Lian motioned to the maid standing at the door, dragged the two down, and personally supervised the torture.

The handmaid's begging for mercy faded away until it disappeared.

For a while, the front hall of the Queen Mother was terribly quiet, and even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly.

Although Du Xuechun sympathized with the two maids, there was nothing he could do, and she could only watch the two maids die.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian looked at the handmaid being dragged away in disbelief. They didn't dare to take a breath, and turned to look at the queen mother sitting in the middle.

"Good concubine, concubine, you two, as concubines, have fought so hard that they are in harmony."

The two people who were suddenly named were startled, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"The concubine is convicted."

"No matter, this matter is over here, no one is allowed to mention it again." The queen mother forcibly protected Du Qingheng, and the three people present were unhappy and it was not easy to say clearly.

"Concubine Xian, you have been wronged, so go down to Ai's warehouse and pick some things you like."

Give a slap a sweet date, this is the style of the queen mother.

Du Xuechun had realized it a long time ago, and she sat down while drinking tea quietly without expressing dissatisfaction.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Concubine Xian kowtowed her head, her white fingers hidden in her sleeves, and she held it tightly. This account was placed on Du Qingheng's head.

"Queen."

The Queen Mother suddenly said, Du Xuechun immediately got up, put down the tea cup in her hand, and bowed her head slightly, with tassels hanging on both sides.

"The concubine is here."

"This little thing can't be handled well. There is a model of a lost queen. If you are administering the harem, don't do it as a queen."

When the words fell, Du Xuechun narrowed his eyes, and then he understood why Du Qingheng was forcibly protected.

Du Qingheng listened with joy, but he still looked wronged in front of him and did not answer.

"Yes."

"Okay, Concubine Xian stayed to go to the storeroom to get some what you like. If there is nothing wrong with you, please withdraw." The queen mother pretended to be exhausted and waved to the next few people.

"The concubine retires." Du Xuechun leaned slightly and walked out.

Kunning Palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mingying raised an expression of dissatisfaction and stood aside rubbing his shoulders for Du Xuechun.

"Niangniang, what does the queen mother mean? I stopped your decision and blamed you for not managing the harem well."

After closing her eyes and resting, Du Xuechun opened her beautiful eyes with a gleam, looking forward blankly.

"This incident is nothing more than to make my palace take the blame, but it is a good calculation."

"Niang, the slave and maidservant are unknown, why is this?" The hand rubbing her shoulders paused, and then returned to normal, with puzzled eyes, and turned her head slightly to look at her.
