Chapter 155 Despondent
Chapter 155 Despondent
When Qin Liuse woke up, she had no idea that so many things had happened in the harem while she was asleep.
It was not until dinner in the evening that the well-informed little treasure came over and chattered about what was happening outside.
It was said that when people from the palace went to Chengqian Palace, they couldn't find Qingzhu, who was originally in charge. It was Miss Qingcao and another Miss Qingtao who came to give orders. After asking, they found out that Qingzhu was gone.
The exact reason why it was not there could not be pried out from Qingcao Qingtao's mouth.
Although Emperor Yongjia used his own people to do the work in order to keep them silent, he was not planning to block the news about Qingzhu.
The only thing was that Qingzhu was not allowed to change Qin Liuse's medicine. As for the other matters that Qingzhu was no longer in office, they could not be suppressed at all.
Qingzhu has always been the most powerful maid in Chengqian Palace. Now that she is gone, if one person knows about it, the news will spread quickly.
So the news didn’t spread until the afternoon.
Although the specific reason is unknown, Qingzhu was kidnapped after coming out of Shu Yuexuan.
So some people began to speculate that Qingzhu had offended Qin Zhaoyi and the emperor found out.
The emperor was fond of Qin Zhaoyi, so he punished Qingzhu in order to make her smile.
Although I don’t understand the details, the general direction is correct.
However, Qin Liuse originally thought that Emperor Yongjia would show leniency after imposing a severe punishment, but he did not expect it to be so severe.
She was dealt with at such a fast speed and with such a strong wrist. It must be said that Qin Liuse was somewhat pleased.
Being favored and pampered like this makes people happy both physically and mentally.
At this moment, Qin Liuse wanted to see the expressions of Liu Qiuniang and Xin Shufei.
I just hate that my eyes don’t have wings, otherwise I could fly to them and take a look.

Emperor Yongjia dealt with Qingzhu without making a big fuss, but it had a better effect than dealing with it with drums and gongs.
Qin Liuse was still worrying about how to explain it, but over the next two days, the sisters she met in the harem, other than asking about her well-being, none of them dared to ask her this question.
They were all afraid of bringing bad luck to Emperor Yongjia.
Qin Liuse was also feeling happy and relaxed.
That morning, after Qin Liuse had breakfast, she was accompanied by her maid to the Four Seasons Garden to walk around to digest the food and pick some fresh flowers to put in a vase.
The Four Seasons Garden is lined with weeping willows, and is dotted along the lake. The red flowers and green willows are a breathtaking sight.
"Qin Zhaoyi is in a good mood. She came to the Four Seasons Garden to walk around early in the morning. She has just recovered. I wonder if Qin Zhaoyi's feet can still bear such a long walk. Don't look back and make the emperor feel distressed again."
Lady Wen's voice suddenly sounded. Qin Liuse picked a flower, looked up, and saw someone walking out from behind the rockery.
What a sharp tongue! Qin Liuse thought that she was too naive and optimistic. But didn’t she still have Lady Wen’s mouth?
Others don't dare to say it, but she dares to be sarcastic in a roundabout way.
In fact, Concubine Wen was obviously the same as those people in the harem. She didn't dare to ask about Qingzhu's affairs openly, but she never stopped speaking ill of Qingzhu.
Qin Liuse glanced at her and saw that she was another woman who looked smiling and loved to say nice things, but was actually very cunning.
But who can blame her for having a good father? Although she was confined to her house twice, Emperor Yongjia did not completely ignore her.
"Isn't it the same for Lady Wen? I come here for a walk and pick some flowers to take back. It's pleasing to the eyes. Lady, are you here for a stroll?" Qin Liuse replied with a smile, not responding to anything about Emperor Yongjia in her words.
"I live nearby and come here every day. As for Qin Zhaoyi, she came here from such a long distance, which shows that she really likes our emperor's Four Seasons Garden." Lady Wen smiled again.
Qin Liuse walked side by side with her, looking like a good sister, and listened to Concubine Wen's attempt to bring the topic back to Emperor Yongjia after going through so much trouble, and she just wanted to laugh.
"I heard that Zhaoyi was feeling nauseous in Ci'en Temple the other day, and I thought she was pregnant, so I prepared some gifts for Zhaoyi and the dragon fetus in her belly." Lady Wen said with regret.
This is really like, bringing up things that are not related to the topic.
If Qin Liuse hadn't known that she was not pregnant, she would have been sad again if she hadn't been seemingly concerned about him but was actually deliberately "reminding" him to relive the pain.
Lady Wen saw that Qin Liuse didn't reply immediately and thought she was sad, so she immediately said earnestly and with a guilty look on her face, "I'm just concerned about Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi, don't take it to heart, otherwise it will be my fault."
Qin Liuse rolled his eyes in his heart and thought to himself, you already know what I am saying, why are you still saying it out loud.
He is just full of bad intentions, pretending to be naive, and has a black heart.
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "I was just wondering why the beauty would bring up what happened that day."
After saying that, Qin Liuse stroked her hair again and said with a smile, "So that day, the beauty did not go to Ci'en Temple to worship the ancestors. I was wondering why I had to listen to others."
This is truly a heart-breaking statement.
God knows, only concubines above the third rank can go to Ci'en Temple to offer sacrifices.
Lady Wen used to be a noble lady of the second rank, but now, she is only a beauty of the fourth rank, which is not a very valuable position in such a huge harem.
As expected, as soon as Qin Liuse said this, Lady Wen's face immediately became as ugly as if it was broken.
"Zhaoyi is so majestic. She is favored by the emperor, can accompany the emperor in sacrifices, and can even ask the emperor to give up his maidservant for you. Unlike me, I can only..."
After hearing this, Qin Liuse thought that Lady Wen's personality in front of others was different now than before.
Most likely it was because of the punishment from Emperor Yongjia that tempered his temper.
Otherwise, if this had happened in the past, Wen Zhaoyi would have been furious at the first sign of anger.
At the beginning, he was a person who even Concubine Ning dared to disrespect.
Qin Liuse said politely, "Imperial? How can there be such a lady like Wen, who has been so imposing for so many years?"
Qin Liuse still remembered how Concubine Wen punished Qingqing that day, so she was not polite when she spoke.
"If I was really pregnant, I would have fallen off the bridge and got stuck in the planks. I would have waited so long for Qingqing to call me, and the dragon fetus would have been gone long ago." Qin Liuse laughed, "How can I compare to Lady Wen in terms of majesty?"
As Lady Wen listened, she felt a little uneasy.
It’s not that she is afraid of Qin Liuse.
But he had just been punished by Emperor Yongjia. If he were to go against Qin Liuse now, based on the emperor's recent behavior, he would definitely protect this bitch in front of him.
Thinking back to the past, Qin Liuse would always bow whenever he saw her.
Lady Wen looked down on Qin Liuse in her heart, but now that she had become a beauty and did not have the emperor's favor, she would only end up in failure if she went against her directly.
Lady Wen was furious. Without saying anything more, she reached the fork in the road, said goodbye to Qin Liuse, and returned to her palace in shame.
