"My concubine, Baolin Qiu, has been lax in her control and has damaged the things that the imperial concubine cherishes. I have specially brought the guilty slave here to ask for punishment. The sinful slave has done something wrong and deserves death. However, I ask the imperial concubine to remember this matter." An unintentional mistake can spare her life!"

Outside the palace gate, Qiu Baolin and Rong Xiu knelt on the ground and shouted loudly into the room.

At that time, Fang Yun was reading a storybook and eating grapes fed by Pei Yao in the room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Qiu Baolin is asking for forgiveness outside. He is kneeling and shouting." Yan Wei glanced out of the window and whispered.

Hearing this, Fang Yun took his eyes away from the storybook and looked at Pei Yao.

"Let her kneel down for a while to finish the show." Pei Yao said in a deep voice, "You've finished reading this paragraph, and that's about it."

Hearing this, Fang Yun smiled and turned to give Qingrong instructions again.

"It's sunny outside. Don't faint in the sun later. Go tell her that she insists on kneeling, and I won't stop her. But if she faints from heat stroke in the area of ​​Yuzhang Palace, it will add to the bad luck. , I will never let her off lightly."

"Yes, I think Qiu Baolin is delicate and frail, so he may not be able to kneel for long. I will tell you now."

Qingrong curled her lips, bowed, and quickly exited.

At this time, Fang Yoong suddenly frowned and raised his eyes to look at Pei Yaodao.

"not good."

"what happened?"

Pei Yao asked.

Fang Yun sighed, "This bad guy has let me be his concubine again. It's time to ask the emperor to come forward, lest the emperor sees my concubine being so tortuous and takes it to heart, and will hate my concubine in the future."

"What random thoughts are running through my head every day." Pei Yao laughed and reached out to poke her forehead.

Fang Yun's willow eyebrows were lightly curved, and he also laughed.

Of course, that's true on the surface, but I'm still cautious in my heart.

When things are going well between the two of them, she is naturally good at everything she does. If things go wrong in the future, there is no way this incident will become a stain.

In short, let's talk about the ugly things first and turn the matter into a joke, so that it will not be easily regarded as a cruel memory of her and will be deeply remembered in Pei Yao's mind.

At that time, outside the house, Qiu Baolin saw Qingrong coming out, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Qingrong, is the imperial concubine willing to see me?"

"The empress just asked me to bring a message to Baolin." Qingrong did not answer her question, but said coldly, "Baolin is weak, and it is very hot outside. It's okay if Baolin insists on kneeling here to apologize, but don't She fainted at the entrance of Yuzhang Palace. Our queen is already in a bad mood. If she gets any more bad luck, she will not take this matter lightly. Please think about it yourself."

Upon hearing these words, Qiu Baolin's expression suddenly began to stiffen inch by inch.

He clenched the handkerchief tightly and bit his lower lip, feeling embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through.

She was also thinking in her mind. At the moment, the emperor was inside with Concubine Zhao. She was kneeling outside to apologize. Even if Concubine Zhao ignored her, if she knelt for a little longer and fainted from heat stroke, would the emperor ignore her?
  During this time, she felt that the emperor still showed some favor to her.

But Qingrong's words were like blocking her way.

It means that Concubine Zhao has understood her plan, and it is absolutely impossible for her to faint at the entrance of Yuzhang Palace.

So now, should I kneel or not?
  If she didn't kneel down, it would appear that she was not sincere in asking for forgiveness, but if she did kneel down, she would have to kneel down hard, and pretending to be faint would not work.

This time is heading towards noon, and it will be getting hotter and hotter.

While she was still thinking, Qingrong waved her hand.

"Come here, it seems that Qiu Baolin is going to kneel down to apologize and bring Baolin a bowl of heat-relieving soup to prevent Baolin from being infected by the heat and hurting his body."

"Yes!"

The little palace maid standing nearby responded and immediately hurried to the kitchen.

Qingrong stopped looking at Qiu Baolin and turned back to the main hall. Qiu Baolin really gritted his teeth and tore the veil to pieces, but it was of no use. Now he was being raised up and could only hold on.

This kneeling lasted for almost an hour.

When she repeatedly said the words of apology, her mouth was dry and her knees ached, she finally saw Hong Zheng coming out.

"Eunuch!" Qiu Baolin looked at Hong Zheng with excited eyes, as if the rain had returned after a long drought, "Eunuch, do you have any instructions for the emperor and the empress?"

Hong Zheng glanced at him and sighed, "Paulin, please come back. You kneel here and keep chanting. The imperial concubine is already sad and angry. Listening to you chant for so long makes her have a headache and chest tightness. The emperor said, I want you to go back and reflect, and don’t make the imperial concubine sad again.”

"This"

Qiu Baolin obviously did not expect to receive such a message, and his face became even more ugly for a moment.

But when Hong Zheng came to deliver a message, he could not tolerate her refusal.

He could only grit his teeth and nodded, stood up with the hand of the maid, and limped out of Yuzhang Palace.

When things happened like this, everyone in the harem was watching.

Apparently Concubine Zhao had the advantage.

For a time, Qiu Baolin fell out of favor.

Even Lin Chan had no favor at all.

Lin Chan originally planned to sleep with her next step as her relationship with Pei Yao has made progress.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected incident suddenly brought things back to the starting point. Lin Chan felt even more uncomfortable than Qiu Baolin.

The half-year period agreed with Shangyang Country had passed. She had used Qiu Baolin's favor to temporarily deal with it, but the other party was still pressing hard, so she had to think of another way.

But now, she couldn't see Pei Yao at all, let alone Qiu Baolin, so no matter how anxious she was, she could only hold back and wait for a short period of time before the limelight passed before appearing in front of Pei Yao again.

By then, there will be no room for failure.

Unexpectedly, during the period of silence between Qiu Baolin and Lin Chan, trouble occurred in Yichun Palace.

"Your Majesty, people around Lan Liangyuan came to report that they discovered that Concubine Wan fed the Sixth Princess a tranquilizing medicine, causing the Sixth Princess to remain drowsy all day long. She also had a weak spleen and stomach and always vomited milk."

In Jingqian Palace, Hong Zheng came in and said in a deep voice, his face also solemn.

It is of course important as it concerns the emperor's heir.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Pei Yao immediately stopped reviewing the memorial with the ink pen in his hand.

"what?"

"At this moment, there was already a commotion in Yichun Palace. Concubine Wan beat Lan Liangyuan and detained her. The person who came to report was Lan Liangyuan's maid Caiwei. She said that she was not in Yichun Palace when the incident happened, so she could I was lucky enough to come here to report this matter."

Hong Zheng truthfully informed him of the news he had received.

Hearing this, Pei Yao's face turned as dark as iron.

He immediately stood up and said, "Show off to Yichun Palace!"

Hong Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried out to arrange a sedan chair to drive them away.

Not long after, Yu Hu stopped outside Yichun Palace.

As soon as Pei Yao walked to the door, he heard Wan Bin's angry shouts coming from inside the room.

"Lan Liangyuan, you are so brave. You dare to threaten me with your concubine. Who do you think you are? Regardless of your previous slander that I fed the Sixth Princess Soothing Soup, you are now speaking arrogantly. I am guilty of the following offense. As the head of Yichun Palace, I can teach you the rules of this palace!"
