Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 8
Lying on the stool, the tears in Shengyi's eyes were still hanging.

The beating made her aggrieved and cold-hearted.

"You not only lost your job, but also failed the empress' cultivation! You are so unbelievable in sending you to Qianhui Palace against all opinions! You can't blame others for being beaten!" Ai Xiang looked at the good intentions with a bit of hatred, and blamed.

"Crack!!!" Following Ai Xiang's order, the thick sticks of the eunuchs fell on Sheng Yi's waist.

"Hmm—" Sheng Yi bit her lip tightly, her mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and she endured the pain.

Every stick wished to knock her out, trembling in pain, clenching her palms tightly...

After the twenty big boards were played, Sheng Yi passed out.

"It deserves it! Let her take advantage of it and act obediently, thinking that she will fly up to the branches after going to Qianhui Palace, and no one will be in her eyes! After all, she is a lowly palace maid, and death is not a pity!" Qi Guiren looked at the blood-stained kindness of the beating viciously, and mocked for a while.

Later, the kindness was randomly discarded in Xin Zheku's dormitory like a broken rag.

Confusion and confusion, half-awake.

[Yingbao's cute voice is eager: Kindness, wake up. 】

Sheng Yi's heart tightened with discomfort, and he couldn't help but want to ask the sky why?
Trying to open my eyes, I saw that the surroundings were dark and damp, and I returned to the original point...

"Aunt Qinxin, the people here—" someone outside the house spoke.

Cheng Yi wanted to take a step forward, but she pulled the wound, and broke into a cold sweat due to the pain.

"Let her fend for herself." Qin Xin's voice.

"Do you need us—" The voice sounded sinister.

"No, she has already been punished, she must have a long memory." Qin Xin's voice was cold.

Sheng Yi called out weakly, "Auntie."

But, obviously, Qin Xin didn't hear it, and soon left...

Not long after, a woman came into the room, looking menacing, "Eat."

As he said that, he threw the dinner plate on the ground, the moldy steamed corn bread, the clear white porridge, no one could eat them.

ho...

People take tea to cool off.

Qianhui Palace.

Qin Xin seemed to be in a good mood.

"Auntie, my mother's medicine?" Xueyan asked worriedly, blocking Qin Xin's way.

Qin Xin frowned, "Oh, that, I will arrange it."

Xueyan is full of mother, and just wants to ask clearly, "Auntie, the doctor said that my mother's illness can't be delayed, and I need to take medicine immediately, please forgive me, auntie, help me?"

Looking at the snowy smoke with tears hanging on her face, Qin Xin said impatiently: "I told you to deal with it when I have time, why are you so stupid?"

Xueyan's heart ached uncontrollably, and she said without any scruples: "Auntie, I have done what you said, please remember what you promised me! Don't go back on your word!"

Qin Xin raised her brows and asked in doubt: "What's wrong? Are you still trying to report on me? Let me tell you, this matter was done by you, not me! If you pursue it, be careful of your life!"

Facing Qin Xin's unreasonable behavior, Xueyan had no choice but to squat up and cry with her head in her arms. What evil did she do to harm her most sincere friend for nothing.

The imperial servants were replaced by Qin Xin and Qing Bi.

Huo Jiheng didn't see the kindness for two nights, and he was quite puzzled.

"Where is the goodwill?" Qingbi brought tea in, and Huo Jiheng asked.

Qingbi responded with a smile, "The agate string that kindly damaged the empress was sent to Xinzheku."

Huo Jiheng frowned, and asked, "What's going on?"

Qingbi said with regret: "This kind-hearted duck has a hard mouth. He broke the agate you gave to the empress, and said that he was wronged. He really regarded us as a display."

"Let's go out." Huo Jiheng was not very happy to listen to people's bad words, especially things about good intentions.

"Li Qing." After thinking for a while, Huo Jiheng finally felt uneasy, so he called out to Li Qing.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing replied: "The emperor ordered."

"Go and find out what's going on with Shengyi?"

Li Qing replied, "Yes."

On weekdays, Shengyi would boil some eight-treasure tea, saying it nourishes the stomach and invigorates the qi, and the ambergris burning in the house also adds tangerine peel powder, which has a faint fruity aroma.

Huo Jiheng really felt that there was something wrong with her wandering around the room so suddenly.

When Li Qing heard that Shengyi was thrown to Xinzheku, he went to Xinzheku alone without telling anyone.

The old mother was holding a whip to supervise those who did not work hard, and when Li Qing walked in, her eyes almost went straight.

"Li—Eunuch Li?"

Li Qing said bluntly, "Where is the goodwill?"

"Sheng - kindness?" The old mama didn't remember who it was for a while.

"The one who was beaten two days ago." Li Qing reminded.

The old mammy replied with a wrinkled smile on her face: "That girl is resting, and she will not be able to work for a while after being beaten like that."

"Take me to see her." Li Qing ordered.

The old mammy hurriedly threw the whip and led the way.

After several corners, I saw kindness in a dilapidated house.

If it is tragic in prison, it is desolation here.

Sheng Yi raised his head and saw Li Qing, and said in shame, "Eunuch Li."

Turning to the old mother, she said, "Go and do your work, I have something to say to Sheng Yi."

The old mammy bowed and left with a smile.

"I heard that the empress's agate was broken?" Li Qing looked directly at Shengyi.

"Why didn't father-in-law say that I broke it?" Sheng Yi said stubbornly.

Li Qing looked normal and said, "Because you said it wasn't you."

"Father-in-law believes in Shengyi?" Shengyi's eyes were filled with tears.

"Although you haven't been here for a long time, our family can feel that you are a girl with integrity, bottom line and principle. If you really did it, you won't complain. Our family chooses to believe you!" Eunuch Li said sincerely.

At this moment, tears of kindness fell down.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Sheng Yi choked up.

Li Qing continued to ask: "Then do you know who did it? Maybe our family can help you."

Sheng Yi's eyes lit up, then darkened, she avoided the side, and said quietly: "I don't know who did it, so don't look into it. Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness. Thank you very much."

Li Qing is not stupid, she can see that she has something to hide. Since she didn't say it at this time, there is a reason, so she could only comfort her: "Since you don't want to say it, your father-in-law won't force you. Whenever you want to say it, you can come to me anytime."

Sheng Yi was very satisfied and grateful, at least someone knew that she was innocent.

"Thank you father-in-law."

After coming out of Xinzheku, Li Qing saw Xueyan at the entrance of Zhengxin Hall.

"Xueyan, do you remember the string of agates that you kindly broke?"

Xueyan's eyes flickered, and she nodded uncomfortably, "The empress has already dealt with her kindness, what is the father-in-law asking?"

Li Qing explained unhurriedly: "Oh, that's right. Our family went to Xinzheku today. Didn't we hear that Shengyi kept calling for injustice? Go ask her."

Xueyan looked nervously at Eunuch Li, "What do you say kindly?"

Eunuch Li deeply remembered Xueyan's expression, and said: "She seems to know who it is, but she doesn't want to say it. Our family thinks that you have a good relationship on weekdays, let's see if you know who it is?"

Xueyan didn't look at Eunuch Li again, and kept staring at the door lock.

Eunuch Li went in with a "hmm".

After learning about Shengyi's situation, Xueyan's mind was full of the tragic situation after being beaten. She secretly went to see it several times, and even gave the old mother money to take good care of Shengyi.

Later, Xueyan took the golden sore medicine and food box to Xinzheku.

Standing at the door for a long time, Xueyan never had the courage to open the door.

"Who's there?" Sheng Yi suddenly saw a figure standing at the door, and asked.

"Squeak—" After opening the door, Shengyi saw Xueyan.

"Why are you here?" Sheng Yi asked with a complicated mood.

Xueyan plucked up the courage to look up at Shengyi, tears rolling down her face, "Are you okay?"

Sheng Yi said with a bit of anger: "Are you referring to my injuries or this Xin Zheku?"

Xueyan blushed, "I'm sorry for your kindness, I'm really sorry."

Sheng Yi said with anger: "You really did it?"

Xue Yan wept and shook her head.

"Let's go, don't stay here." Since Sheng Yi had the answer in her heart, she didn't want to see her again.

Xueyan wiped away her tears and asked, "Since you guessed it was me, why didn't you say so?"

Kindness and anger surged up, "What did you say? You said you broke it and blamed it on me? With your body, can you bear dozens of blows?"

Xueyan looked at Shengyi in a daze, and said in shock: "You—you—"

Cheng Yi said impatiently: "What about me? I've been through it all, what can I say! I'm really stupid, a big taboo in the palace, don't trust people easily, and I'm complacent that I met a good friend! I deserve it! From now on, I just don't know each other."

"You're so loyal?" There was a loud voice outside the door.
