Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Even if the Empress Dowager or the eunuchs around the Emperor knew about what Liu Bin and others had done, they might not report it if they were given some money. In this way, the Empress Dowager or the Emperor would not know about it.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager or the female officials and eunuchs around the Emperor might not know about this, because Liu Bin and her group were very cautious. They would send spies to wait outside the Zi Lan Palace every day. Once they saw someone from a higher-up coming, they would report it inside, and the bullying would stop immediately, so that the higher-ups would be completely unaware of this.

And now, Linlang just needs to expose what they have done.

How to expose it? This is not a difficult task for Linlang. The difficult part is to find the moment when the Empress Dowager or the Emperor passes by outside and the two of them are bullying other lower-ranking concubines. After all, it is common for the two of them to bully others, but the Empress Dowager or the Emperor may not happen to pass by; sometimes the Empress Dowager or the Emperor passes by the Zi Lan Palace, but the two of them may not necessarily be bullying other lower-ranking concubines.

As long as she could find such a moment, it would not be difficult for Linlang to let the emperor or the empress dowager discover what they were doing.

It was also good luck that when Linlang was planning to get rid of the two troublesome little devils, Concubine Song and Concubine Cao, Linlang discovered that day that the emperor was going to visit a certain palace. The way to this palace passed through the Zi Lan Palace. Coincidentally, Concubine Song and Concubine Cao were bullying the lower-ranking concubines. Linlang planned to deal with this matter today.

At this moment, Concubine Song and Concubine Cao were stopping two palace maids from the Zi Lan Palace, Li Gong Ren, who was one of the diehards who refused to pay the money just like Lin Lang.

This palace maid Li was a concubine from the previous session. She had not done well. It has been four years since she entered the palace, and she is still an eighth-rank palace maid.

As far as Linlang knew, she was saving her monthly salary in order to qualify for the emperor's favor, and then see if she could get promoted to the next level.

In addition, he is also trying hard to save more monthly allowance, ready to give it to the female official beside the empress dowager, so that he can become a husband of the eighth rank.

Since he was working so hard to save his monthly allowance, he naturally was unwilling to give the money to Concubine Liu.

This is also the reason why she refused to hand it over no matter how Concubine Liu beat her.

Thanks to her toughness, even after being beaten by Concubine Liu many times, she just had to lie in bed for a while at most, and nothing happened.

At this moment, Concubine Song and Noble Lady Cao stopped Palace Lady Li from speaking.

Concubine Song was polite first and then aggressive, and she looked like she was about to cry. She said, "We've been so good to you, why do you treat us like this?"

If Linlang hadn't known that they had been bullying Li Gongren, she would have thought that it was Li Gongren who bullied them. This is really like the thief crying "stop thief", and even trash can pretend to be a little white lotus.

Concubine Cao on the side didn't try to act innocent, but directly started to criticize, "That's right, especially me. We are from the same state after all, so we are fellow villagers. Why do you want to hurt us like this? Concubine Liu assigned us the task of asking you for money, why don't you give it to her? When you don't give it to her, Concubine Liu blames me. Since we are fellow villagers, you should give it to her, so that Concubine Liu won't cause trouble for us."

Linlang thought to herself, what does Palace Lady Li have to do with Concubine Liu causing trouble for you? You guys always bully her, and she wishes you two bad luck. Why should Palace Lady Li give you money in order to prevent you from being scolded by Concubine Liu? What kind of nonsensical logic.

Li Gongren obviously thought the same, but she was an introvert and didn't like to quarrel with others, so she didn't say anything at this moment, but was bullied and cried silently. Seeing Li Gongren crying, Cao Guiren rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you crying? I'm the one who should cry! If you don't give money to Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu will make trouble for us, and we still want to cry!"

Song Jieyu on the side continued her innocent performance, saying, "That's right, I'm going to cry when you look like this. Please give us the money quickly, and don't let us get scolded."

Seeing that Li Gongren was just crying and refused to give them money, Concubine Song could no longer pretend and started to push Li Gongren. Her voice got louder and she said, "Where's the money? Where did you put it? Give it to us! Don't hurt us! I'm so good to you!"

——I don’t know what’s good about what she said.

Concubine Cao on the side ordered people to search Palace Lady Li's body and said, "Is it on you? If it's not on you, it must be in your room. Let's go to your room and get it."

The maidservants of Palace Lady Li were held down by Concubine Song and Concubine Cao, and were unable to help her, so she could only avoid the hands of Concubine Cao's maids who were searching her body, and prevented her from searching her body. Concubine Song also sent people to help and pull Palace Lady Li's purse.

No matter how introverted Li Gongren was, she couldn't help it at this moment. She held her purse and said, "Don't steal my things!"

Concubine Cao came on stage and slapped Li Gongren in the face, saying viciously: "You are shameless, aren't you! If you don't give us ten taels today, don't even think about eating!"

This was not a lie. These two people had stopped Li Gongren and other diehard elements during meals before and did not let them eat.

Of course, they had tried to stop Linlang, but Linlang would naturally ignore them. These two people dared to send their maids to throw away her food and not let her eat. When she was hungry, Linlang would go crazy and smash all their food. The maids of these two people could not stop Linlang from going crazy. After this happened once, they dared not stop Linlang anymore.

Seeing Concubine Cao beating someone, Concubine Song ordered people to continue snatching Concubine Li’s purse.

Naturally, Li Gongren was unwilling to give it, so Concubine Cao grabbed her hair and started to beat her. Concubine Cao's maids did not dare to hit Concubine Li, who was the emperor's concubine, but Concubine Cao herself was not afraid, so after the maids pinned Li Gongren down, she started to beat her. Concubine Song on the side cooperated with her. Seeing her beating people, Concubine Li was busy dealing with Concubine Cao, so she pulled off Concubine Li's purse and laughed as she pulled it, "Look at you. If you just give me the money honestly, nothing will happen. But you insist on refusing and get yourself beaten. It's not worth it. Hahaha..."

Then, when he saw a group of people coming in from the gate, his laughter stopped abruptly, as if a hen had its throat pinched, leaving a strange lingering sound.

The group of people who came in were the emperor who was passing by.

Originally, there was a spy named Concubine Liu guarding outside the Zi Lan Palace, but she had pressed a sleeping point on him before the emperor came, and dragged him to a pavilion on the side to sleep. Linlang was not afraid that he would wake up and find out what had happened, and Concubine Liu would scold her for not keeping an eye on the gate because she had lost her right-hand man. Anyway, this man was the thug of this bullying group, so if he was scolded by Concubine Liu because of this incident, that was what Linlang wanted to see.

Because the spy was dealt with by Linlang, the bullying of low-ranking concubines in Zilan Palace was not concealed. (End of this chapter)
