Consort Lu had just arrived outside Qinghe Palace She heard a female voice sobbing from inside.
“Nuo’er!” She pushed open the door nervously.
However, the scene in front of her stunned her.
The people lying on the ground and kneeling were all palace maids.
All of them had messy hair.
Updɑted on BοX?0VEL.cοm
Some of the clothes had medicine splashed on them.
There were also some whose cheeks were swollen from the beating.
The most miserable person was Auntie Guangyun.
Consort Lu saw that her hands and feet were tied up.
She was tied to a stick like how one would kill a pig for the new year.
The stick was placed between two stools.
Guangyun’s face was covered in wounds, and her hairpins were already in a mess.
She might have lost her rationality from anger.
She kept cursing.
“Yaoguang, just wait and see how Her Majesty deals with you!” As for the Gu Nuo’er she was talking about…
Not far away, she was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed.
Her small feet swayed leisurely.
Ye Siming stood behind her and was having a battle with her hair that had gotten a little messy from the fight.
The youth’s hands were omnipotent in martial arts and had well-defined joints.
However, he was actually stumped when it came to tying up the child’s hair!
Just now, Gu Nuo’er had knocked Guangyun’s stomach with her head.
Her hair got a little messy as a result.
He knew that she liked to be beautiful and delicate.
He wanted to tidy her up, but this hair was just disobedient!
At the side, Ling Shen silently ma.s.saged Gu Nuo’er’s small arm.
“Elder Sister Nuo’er, Elder Brother Ye, thank you for protecting Shen’er!”
He looked at Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er with admiration.
Gu Nuo’er looked up and saw Consort Lu standing at the door in a daze.
“Pretty consort!” The child’s eyes curved and she immediately smiled sweetly and obediently.
Her black eyes were bright and sparkling.
Perhaps it was because she had just “exercised”.
Her fair face was flushed red.
Ling Tianyin quickly walked in as well.
Looking at the mess in the hall, his eyes widened. “What’s going on?!”
When Gu Nuo’er saw that he had come, she immediately stopped smiling.
She didn’t forget to roll her beautiful eyes.
The child’s voice was soft. “Ask them yourself. Hmph!”
When Guangyun heard Ling Tianyin’s voice, she wailed, “His Majesty, save me! This Princess Yaoguang has gone crazy!
“She knocked off the medicine Prince Shen is supposed to drink because she doesn’t want His Highness’s condition to get better!
“Not only that, but she also allowed this Marquis Yongye to beat us up.
“Your Majesty, the people from Great Qi have already bullied us. You have to uphold justice for us!”
Consort Lu turned around and saw the broken medicine bowl on the ground.
A hint of anger also surged in her gentle eyes.
“Didn’t I tell you guys not to come and feed Shen’er medicine if I’m not around?
“Moreover, Shen’er isn’t sick at all. He’s just sleepy occasionally. It’s not to the point where he has to drink so much medicine!”
Guangyun didn’t answer her question directly.
She retorted, “This servant is just following Her Majesty’s orders.”
Consort Lu’s tone froze. Although she looked even angrier, she didn’t say anything else.
She had always been considerate not to put Ling Tianyin in a difficult position between her and the Empress.
Therefore, she never took the initiative to say anything bad about the Empress.
It was also rare for her to go against the Empress’s decision.
She had already tried her best to give in.
However, this time, the Empress’s people actually came to Qinghe Hall to let Ling Shen drink medicine when she wasn’t around!
This really angered her as a mother!
Ling Tianyin frowned deeply. He was about to interrogate Guangyun.
Gu Nuo’er’s dissatisfied soft voice sounded.
“Emperor Ling, you stupid fellow, ask Brother Shen’er first if he’s willing to take the medicine!”
