He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Chapter 26: Not distinguishing right from wrong, embarrassing the position of a concubine



Shen Qing looked up and saw Gu Tingshuang standing not far from him, raising her hand to point to her position, her cheeks becoming plumper than before.

The Sixth Princess and Concubine Shu, who was dressed in begonia-colored palace attire, sat at the top, both looking towards him.

For a time, Shen Qing became the focus of the audience.

"Shen Qing, come here and let me take a closer look."

Concubine Shu spoke, and Shen Qing had no choice but to get up from her seat and walk towards Concubine Shu.

Madam Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian were both startled. When did Shen Qing offend Concubine Shu?

When I thought about it, secret joy suddenly flashed in my eyes. They couldn't do anything about Shen Qing, there was always someone who could cure her!

Looking at Shen Qing's bright face, Concubine Shu asked, "Did you inflict Shuang'er?"

Shen Qing raised his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes."

"Asshole! Shuang'er is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You can beat her if you want!"

Concubine Shu slapped the table, and the whole place fell silent for a moment, for fear that someone might accidentally touch Concubine Shu's brow.

Shen Shuyu's expression was slightly condensed, but he still stood up and walked towards Shen Qing, then knelt down and said, "Back to Concubine Shu, the person who beat Miss Gu is a minister and has nothing to do with my eldest sister."

Xie Zhaohua, who was closest to him, was a little gloating when he saw Shen Tong's misfortune, but when he saw Shen Shuyu, he was instantly surprised. Shen Shuyu had not always been timid, but why was he so stubborn today that he dared to openly attack Concubine Shu? Challenging?

Concubine Shu was just about to hold her accountable when she heard Concubine Xie's voice not far away, "What do you mean, sister Concubine Shu? Are you planning to make a big fuss at the flower viewing banquet set by the Queen?"

Concubine Xie walked over, and Concubine Shu's face instantly darkened.

Concubine Xie is one level higher than her, and she has never dealt with her. She is afraid that she will disrupt the situation again, but today, this reason is on her.

"Shuang'er was wronged in the Royal Garden. As an aunt, I naturally want to ask for it."

Concubine Xie suddenly smiled, "This is no coincidence. I am also an aunt. Naturally, I cannot just watch my niece being wronged."

After saying that, he looked up at Shen Suyu who was kneeling on the ground, "The ground is cold, stop kneeling."

Shen Qing helped Shen Suyu up and stepped aside.

Originally, she wanted to use the conflict between Concubine Shu and the Queen to punish Gu Tingshuang, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xie would intervene first, and she didn't expect that Shen Shuyu would step forward to take responsibility for her regardless.

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xie with an expression full of displeasure, "Concubine Xie is trying to protect her niece?"

Concubine Xie walked up to Concubine Shu and sat down, looking down at her, "It's hard to say, but I know Su Yu's temperament and won't take the initiative to cause trouble unless... someone provokes trouble."

Concubine Shu choked and was about to fight back when she heard Concubine Xie speak first, "Suiyu, please tell me why you hit Miss Gu."

Shen Suyu walked to the center and explained the previous experience in detail word for word.

Hearing that there was some discrepancy with what Gu Tingshuang said, Concubine Shu frowned slightly and looked at Gu Tingshuang, seeing that the latter had his head slightly lowered, obviously he had concealed something just now.

After hearing this, Concubine Xie's mouth was filled with a trace of sarcasm, "Miss Gu is really good. The attacker immediately became a victim when he hit someone with a rake. Now she wants to use Concubine Shu's name to continue to bully others..."

He paused for a moment, then looked down at Concubine Shu, "If I hadn't come today, Concubine Shu would have punished Suyu for deliberately causing trouble to harm the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace?"

Concubine Shu's expression did not change, and she turned her gaze to Gu Tingshuang, "Shuang'er was the one who made the move first. Miss Shen's words are true. Then Shuang'er will tell the concubine, why did you attack Miss Shen's family?"

Hearing Concubine Shu's voice, Gu Tingshuang's slightly trembling heart suddenly calmed down, and her momentum suddenly returned, "The engagement between the concubine, the courtier, and the Third Young Master Cui is almost as good as not everyone knows about it. But despite this, Shen Suyu still blatantly seduces my fiancé. Shouldn’t this kind of behavior be punished? "

Concubine Xie sneered, "You know a lot at a young age."

Immediately he raised his eyes to look at the position of Shangshu Mansion and asked, "Sir Mr. Cui, Miss Gu keeps saying that Suyu seduced you. Can you please tell me whether this statement is true or false?"

The Third Young Master Cui was startled when he was suddenly named. He looked at his biological father as if asking for help. Cui Shangshu was also breaking out in a cold sweat. Others didn't know what his son's virtues were, but his biological father still knew about it, but to tell the truth would offend him. Concubine Shu, and not telling the truth would offend Concubine Xie. On the one hand, he was the Prime Minister, the head of the hundred officials, and on the other hand, Marquis Wu Lie, who had an army of 200,000. He could not afford to offend either of them!

Just when Cui Shangshu was hesitating, the queen, who had never shown her face, finally arrived belatedly. Everyone stood up and saluted. Taking advantage of this gap, Cui Shangshu's brain was running wildly, but he still couldn't make a decision.

The queen in a gorgeous phoenix robe walked in from the entrance, with two personal maids supporting her on the left and right, four maids behind her carrying the hem of her clothes, and eight other maids following closely behind.

However, just as she was walking in front of the Shangshu Mansion, the queen suddenly stopped, looked at Third Young Master Cui and said, "I just heard a general outline outside, so Third Young Master Cui might as well tell me who Miss Gu is." Is it true, or is Miss Shen’s words true?”

Third Young Master Cui suddenly felt like he was sweating profusely, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

The Queen didn't give him any chance to breathe, "Raise your head and reply."

Mr. Cui raised his head with difficulty, feeling that every breath he took was extremely painful.

As the highest authority in the harem, the queen has seen countless people, so she guessed the general situation just by the expression of Mr. Cui San.

In the harem, although the queen is the most respected, the power of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xie should not be underestimated, and the three parties have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

Although she is not on good terms with Concubine Shu and Concubine Xie, compared with Concubine Xie, the queen obviously hates Concubine Shu, who is arrogant and more favored, more.

So the queen put a little pressure on Mr. Cui San, and Mr. Cui San couldn't bear it and revealed everything, "Queen, to be honest, Shen Shuyu didn't seduce me, I harassed her first."

After the voice fell, Gu Tingshuang's face instantly became much uglier, and Concubine Shu, who thought she had won the game, couldn't help but frown again.

Sweeping Chu Qingyuan's slightly guilty expression, Concubine Shu pursed her lips and finally turned her head away.

She had been in the palace for almost twenty years, and she had rarely been defeated even in front of the queen. But now she was completely betrayed by the two young people closest to her.

The truth was clear, and the queen glanced at Minister Cui and walked towards the main seat.

After they were seated, she asked everyone to stand up, and then looked at Gu Tingshuang, "Miss Gu is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, but she has lost her morals. She first provoked trouble without any evidence, and then maliciously slandered Miss Shen. Her behavior is extremely bad, but considering her young age, she will be given a chance to reform and be confined for half a year. During the confinement period, the prime minister's wife must strictly discipline her."

Hearing this, the prime minister's wife immediately knelt on the ground, "I thank the queen for forgiving my daughter."

Gu Tingshuang was a little unconvinced, and wanted to say something else, but was pressed to the ground by the prime minister's wife, and could only kneel down to thank her for her grace.

After punishing Gu Tingshuang, the queen turned her eyes to the face of Concubine Shu, who was secretly feeling aggrieved. She said, "Concubine Shu, you are the head of a palace, but you can't even tell right from wrong. I think there is no need for you to continue to be a concubine."
