Chapter 516

Shen Ninghua nodded slightly, “You have a soft character, your sister lives alone in the palace, and her health was not good some time ago, quite lonely. It’s just right that you’ve come, go over and take care of and look after her more.”

Tusu Qingqiu obediently lowered her eyes, “Yes, slave girl remembered.”

“Well, back off.”

Leaving the imperial garden, Tu Su Qing Qiu loosened her clenched lower lip, and a bloody flavor filled her mouth, making her wish to spray out a mouthful of blood. Today, she had exhausted her efforts to reach her goal, but unfortunately, the Emperor did not even look at her squarely.

Thinking of the slap mark on her cheek, Tu Su Qing Qiu hated Tu Su Qing Li completely, if it wasn’t for this slap she gave herself that detracted from her appearance, she couldn’t have achieved what she wanted.

When she returned to the Reservoir Palace, Qin Xiang was sitting in her room waiting for her, only, the usual softness was no longer on his face, instead, he had a serious look on his face.

Tusu Qingqiu’s heart glimpsed that there was some uneasiness in her heart, raising a smile she walked in, “Sister Qin Xiang, are you waiting for me? Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong, the Empress Mother just asked some questions.”

Qin Xiang cold face, her appearance can not be considered the most outstanding, it can even be said that some do not meet the definition of beauty in Da An country now, although she is dressed in a brocade Luo dress, but the temperament of her body is extraordinarily heroic, and her bone structure is also slightly broad, without much of the soft beauty of a woman, “Tusu Qingqiu, today you are intentional.”

Tusu Qingqiu froze, raising her eyes to look at her without understanding, “What did sister say, what was intentional?”

“Today, it was clearly you who suggested going to the Imperial Garden to take a stroll, and when I saw someone afterward, I clearly had already said to leave quickly, but you told Gu Wan Yi that it wasn’t in the way, and even hinted that the person in the garden could possibly be the Emperor.”

Tusu Qingqiu’s eyes took on a trace of aggression, “Sister Qin Xiang, I am different from your origin, you are of noble origin, even if you don’t stay in the palace, you can still have a good home, but I am different, although I am the second young lady of the Tusu family, my status is just a concubine’s son, my elder sister has preconceived notions of me, and my parents don’t care about me, I… …”

Qin Xiang frowned, but there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

Tusu Qingqiu continued, “Today, I do have selfishness, I thought that it was the emperor in the imperial garden, I thought that I could meet the emperor in advance, to be able to gain a good impression, sister, going to the water’s edge was Gu Wan Yi’s own proposal, and as you can see, the palace maid beside the empress said that the reason why she slipped and fell was because the soles of her shoes were being done to them, and this has no little to do with it.”

Qin Xiang contemplated for a long time, looked at Tusu Qingqiu’s aggrieved appearance, and opened her mouth to say, “Today’s matter is forgotten, in the future, we must be careful in our actions, the emperor has a punishment for us, I will leave first.” She is not a fool, also did not completely believe Tu Su Qingqiu words, although today’s things look and she does not have much to do, but behind the things who can say it, in the future can be far away or far away it.

As soon as Qin Xiang left, Tu Su Qing Qiu angrily tore the handkerchief in her hand, the look under her eyes full of resentment. It is true that Gu Wan Yi’s shoes were not tampered with by her, but it was she who hinted that someone else did it, but it was only to arouse the jealousy of the other showgirls, who made Gu Wan Yi’s appearance look so outstanding. As for going to the water’s edge, in the imperial garden is indeed not her proposal, she is only ahead of time said about the water of the koi carp is very beautiful, who let Gu Wan Yi is a like to see the fish …

Shen Ninghua took the three children back to Kun Yu Palace, not long after, Baili Anning also rushed over, saw that Chengrui did not have anything to do, greatly relieved, let the people went to report back to the qi dai guifei, do not let her worry again.

Baili Anning tried to hold Seungrui, but unfortunately Seungrui struggled down and ran over to Xiao Bao, watching her inking the paper, beautifully drawing the pony Red Cloud.

Baili Anning smiled, “It was really right to let Chengrui follow Wing Chen and Luo Yao, in the past, this child could cry half a day in fear at the sight of a bug.”

Shen Ninghua looked at Chengrui, not knowing whether to tell An Ning that Chengrui had been pinching and feeding green worms to the fish a few days ago, and didn’t know where he found the green worms from, “There was Prince De on the sidelines, and there wasn’t any trouble.”

“Well, what’s the deal with that showgirl, can you investigate?”

As he was talking, Hongling walked in and handed Shen Ninghua the ins and outs of the investigation. Shen Ninghua looked at it and couldn’t help but have slightly cold eyes, “Really underestimated this Tu Su Qing Qiu.”

Baili Anning took the paper and looked at it, and was also quite surprised, “This Tusu Qingqiu is Tusu Qingli’s younger sister, right? This small, woman with little status and background is able to do so many things in secret.”

“She is extremely intelligent, and many things are merely going with the flow. Utilizing the showgirls’ jealousy of Gu Wan Yi, and their desire for the Emperor, this is how she achieved what she wanted.”

Baili Anning snorted coldly, “Such a woman can’t be kept, the main thing in the palace is not to be smart, but to be peaceful, if we let her in, she won’t stir up the peace in the palace.”

Shen Ninghua smiled, “The reelection will be held in a while, there’s no rush, just take your time and watch.” She was happy to see Tusu Qingqiu being smart, so that she could make the most of her usefulness.

After about two hours, the time for several showgirls to be punished for kneeling was over, and Shen Ninghua had someone send Tusu Qingqiu with the Bruising Ointment, which could dissolve the bruises on her face. Such a thing was extremely eye-catching among the showgirls, and soon, everyone knew that Tu Su Qing Li had beaten her sister, and the Empress took pity on her and had someone send the ointment over specifically.

When Tu Su Qing Li found out about this news, she was so angry that she directly dropped the tealight in her hand, “Tu Su Qing Qiu, she is deliberately tarnishing my reputation!”

Green Qi at the side hurriedly pacified, “Miss don’t get too worked up with her, what happened in the first place wasn’t your fault at all.”

“I taught her the rules, in order to let her not make mistakes, so the hand was slightly heavier, at that time, when I was learning the rules, wasn’t I also punished all the way over by the Sister? She also met the emperor … just don’t know that the vaporizing cream was rewarded by the empress herself, or the emperor let someone reward it.”

“His Majesty? I don’t think so, I heard the Emperor even punished her?”

“The Emperor punished that because she and Qin Xiang and the others broke the rules, but look at what happened to Gu Wan Yi, and then look at Tu Su Qing Qiu? That punishment has been light enough to count for nothing.”

“So, Miss, do you have any plans?”

Tusu Qingli thought quietly for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, “Greenie, I remember that you know someone in the Reservoir Palace, right?”

“… Yes, there is a sister who is a fellow slave girl.”

“Tu Su Qingqiu wants to get close to the Emperor by virtue of nothing more than her looks, what if her looks are ruined?”

“What?” Green Qi shrieked in shock and was glared at by Tusu Qingli, so she hastily covered her mouth, “Miss, you …”

“That Imperial Doctor Su who is diagnosing me is someone arranged by my father, it’s easy for me to obtain some disfiguring ointment from him, so ask your little sister to find a way to replace the ointment that the Empress Dowager has rewarded me with.”

Green Qi’s heart beat wildly, her face pale with fear, “No, miss, the Empress has unpredictable means, in case she is caught …”

“What are you afraid of, as long as you are careful, there will be no mistakes, besides, I dare let you go will not harm you. This second sister of mine is good at everything, just one thing, can’t eat any seafood, I’ll ask her to come to dinner, then let people use seafood stewed soup to cook the dishes, surely the gods don’t know, even if it’s found out, but it’s just a small negligence, seafood is a common dish, who knows she can’t eat it?”

Greenie still felt alarmed, “Miss, the Empress is not that easy to fool.”

Tusu Qingli chagrined in his heart, this Green Qi looked good on weekdays, but once the Empress was involved, she was like a mouse that had seen a cat, her guts were scared out of her wits:

“My purpose wasn’t to frame the Empress either, I just wanted to ruin Tusu Qingqiu’s appearance, think about it, she would get pimples all over her body after eating seafood, and that ointment was just a precautionary measure. Besides, that was something from the Empress, could it be that the Imperial Physician still dared to check if there was poison in it?”

Green Qi nodded hesitantly, “Miss has a point, but …”

“There is no but, you follow my words to do is, green qi, you are my most trusted person, I also have nothing to reward you, this pair of bracelets you take to wear, that little sister of yours, what needs despite from my jewelry to take, in the future, as long as there is my glory, will certainly not be able to lessen the benefits of you.”

Looking at the pair of fine jadeite jade bracelets, Green Qi finally nodded, “Good, don’t worry miss, the slave girl will go now.”

“Uh-huh.”

Tusu Qingli raised a smirk, her voice cold as ice, “Humph, Empress … Tusu Qingqiu … you wait!”

Three days later at night, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua had just laid down when a clamor came from outside the hall. Baili Junyi frowned, “Hongling, what’s going on?”

Hongling walked in softly, “Reporting back to the Emperor, Empress Mother, the Cunxiu Palace came a palace maid, saying that the showgirl Tu Su Qingqiu was disfigured, and now she wants to throw herself into the water to kill herself.”

“Disfigurement? Kill yourself?” Baili Junyi sneered, these people are really able to toss and turn, “Care if they die, don’t stop her if she wants to kill herself, what’s the point of coming to the Empress to make a scene?”

“Your Majesty, Tu Su Qingqiu said that she used the ointment given by the Empress to disfigure her face.”

“Ignorant!” Baili Junyi was exasperated in his heart, “These showgirls are really bold, now that they haven’t even passed the reelection, they dare to hit the Empress with their ideas, they’ve grown big in their guts!”

Shen Ninghua got up and had Hongling bring clothes over, “Go take a look, otherwise tomorrow there will be rumors that I, the Empress, am unkind and killed and maimed the showgirls.”

Baili Junyi wrapped Shen Ninghua’s waist, circling the ground like she was in his arms, “Ninghua …”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but smile, “Let’s go, you go along and take a look.”

Baili Junyi nodded and rubbed against her neck, the coldness under his eyes was sharp, he would like to see who had the guts to move earth on the head of a taiyouji:

“Well, I’m going to back you up!”
