Chapter 640: Cruel Palace Maid x Sinister Eunuch (10)
In the Imperial Garden, the sun shines through the clouds, creating a splendid and colorful scene.
Concubine Shu was wearing gorgeous palace clothes and walked slowly forward with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Their goal was to admire the peonies in the Imperial Garden, which they heard were in great bloom.
When passing by a rockery, Concubine Shu suddenly stopped and she heard a faint sound.
Following the direction of the voice, I saw two young palace maids hiding behind a rockery, whispering.
"Have you heard? Eunuch Wei was beaten on the orders of the Queen." A little palace maid said softly.
"Is it true?" another young palace maid asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true. A fellow villager of mine works as a eunuch in Fengyi Palace. He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears!" said the little palace maid proudly.
"Then why did the Queen Mother order people to put a sack on Eunuch Wei and beat him? Was it because of Concubine Shu?" the little palace maid asked curiously.
"Of course. The Empress and Imperial Concubine Shu are sworn enemies. Everyone knows the conflict between them! This time, the Empress must have deliberately taken revenge on Imperial Concubine Shu, so she attacked Eunuch Wei."
The little palace maid spoke with certainty, her voice higher than before.
"Oh, so that's how it is. But Eunuch Wei is really pitiful. He was beaten for no reason." The little palace maid said with emotion.
"Yes, but what can we servants do? We can only endure it silently." The little palace maid sighed helplessly.
Concubine Shu listened quietly to the conversation between the two little palace maids, her face turning dark.
She turned to look at Wei He beside her and found that he was looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, as if he had not heard the conversation of the young palace maids.
Concubine Shu snorted coldly and shouted, "Come here, bring those two slaves up here."
As soon as he finished speaking, several young eunuchs immediately brought the young palace maid from the rockery over here.
When the little palace maid saw Concubine Shu, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground and trembled, begging for mercy: "My Lady Concubine, please spare me... My Lady Concubine, please spare me..."
"Spare my life? Aren't you two quite talkative? I hope you can still be as eloquent when you go to the Ministry of Punishment."
Concubine Shu's eyes were cold, as if she had seen something dirty. She then turned to Wei He and said, "Check it out. I want to see who is so bold as to plot against me."
Wei He: "Yes, Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Shu lost interest in appreciating the flowers and left with her personal maid Xia Zhu.
She walked quickly, each step filled with deep anger.
She knew in her heart that there must be someone behind this matter, and that person must be a concubine in the harem.
Oh, if she didn’t know exactly what was going on and had already discussed it with Wei He, she would probably really go and cause trouble for the Queen regardless of the consequences.
Oh, if you have the guts to plot against her, you will have to bear her wrath.
She wanted to see who the blind bitch was.
After Concubine Shu left, Wei He and a few young eunuchs were still standing there.
He looked at the two young palace maids with a calm expression and said in a cold voice: "Drag them to the Ministry of Punishment! Remember not to let them die."
"Yes, Eunuch Wei."
Several young eunuchs nodded, covered the young palace maids' mouths with one hand, and dragged them to the Ministry of Punishment with the other hand.
Wei He looked at the backs of several people, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

The next day, sunlight shone into the palace through the window lattices, and the concubines came to the queen's bedroom as usual to pay their respects to her.
However, the atmosphere today was a little different. Everyone was surprised to find that the Imperial Concubine Shu, who always sneered and rolled her eyes at the Queen, was unusually quiet today and didn't even say a single sarcastic word.
Li Jinhua sat on the chair, wondering secretly. When she raised her head, she happened to meet the smiling eyes of Concubine Shu. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, Concubine Shu slowly withdrew her gaze and cast her eyes towards the Queen who was sitting at the top. She bowed slightly and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
The queen frowned slightly, as if she had noticed the abnormality of Concubine Shu, but she still maintained her dignity and responded, "Concubine Shu, what do you need to report?"
Hey, why is this person so polite? So creepy.
It's a bit strange to be accustomed to her when she's not arrogant and domineering.
Concubine Shu waved her hand and ordered someone to drag in two bloody palace maids. She said, "Your Majesty, I was walking around the Imperial Garden yesterday and met two palace maids. They were actually trying to sow discord between us! They said that Wei He was put in a sack and beaten, and it was Your Majesty's order that they did it."
"What else? Your Majesty, by doing this, you are slapping me in the face and giving me a warning."
"..."
Concubine Shu said a lot of things, which were all exaggerated. She also said things that the two little palace maids did not say.
Finally, she covered her chest with her hands in grief and said, "The person behind this is really wicked. Everyone knows that I respect the Queen the most, and the Queen loves me the most. To say that we have a bad relationship is really ridiculous! Queen, you can't let this person behind this go!"
Queen: "???"
Who feels sorry for you? Tell me clearly.
Concubines: “???”
Do the Queen and Concubine Shu have a good relationship?
Who were the people who were confronting you before?
Do they think they are all fools?
It turns out that being thick-skinned is also a disgusting thing!
It made them feel a little nauseous when they heard this.
