Chapter 500 Injury to Appearance, Injury to Injury
The cleaned up blood was delivered in pots.
Crown Princess Qu’s face was also ugly, but she still held Qu Mo Ying’s hand and patted her hand soothingly.
Not only did the eunuchs come, the Empress Mother also came, and was close by here at Crown Princess Qu’s place to treat Li Meiren, only the situation was not good at first glance, and the occasional screams and cries of Ji Meiren came from inside.
It made the people guarding outside tremble with fear, and their hearts were inexplicably furious.
Sitting on the first place is the Queen Mother, her face is also very bad, this situation is unknown, also can only wait for the eunuch to see before coming out.
The main hall was quiet.
Finally, the eunuch came out from inside, his face slightly pale and stern.
After coming forward and bowing to the Empress Mother who was sitting high above, she then reported to the Empress Mother, “Empress Mother, I’m afraid that Beauty Li’s face will be left with a very serious injury.”
Is that a disfigurement?
The Empress Mother’s face sank, “Injured so badly?”
“Originally, the injury was quite serious, and then some medicines that can’t be symptomatic were used later on, it made the wound worsen, even after removing the medicines, it won’t work anymore!” The eunuch shook his head and helplessly said.
Those medicines soaked into the wound and mixed with the blood in one place, now on the length is to clean up the medicine powder at the wound, but it has soaked in, adding insult to injury, Li Beauty’s appearance is ruined.
In fact, even without this medicinal powder, the injuries sustained before would not be easy to heal all the way, the eunuchs had already looked at it, and the previous scratches were not shallow, and the cat’s claws were sharp.
“What in the world is going on?” The Empress Mother looked towards the palace men kneeling on the ground, these were all the palace men of Li Meiren.
“Empress Dowager, it’s Fourth Miss Qu, it’s Fourth Miss Qu who wants to harm our beauty.” The chief steward looking chamberlain beside Beauty Li knelt at the first one, and upon hearing the Empress Dowager ask this question, she reached out and pointed at Qu Mo Ying in a shrill voice.
The group of courtiers following him also spoke up, all pointing at Qu Mo Ying.
When something like this happened, none of them could afford it, and without pushing this matter onto Qu Mo Ying’s body, they wouldn’t have an ounce of life.
Qu Tai Fei’s brows wrinkled, she had already asked Qu Mo Ying privately just now, this meeting with the palace staff in Li Mei Ren’s palace actually all pointing at her like this, her face immediately became ugly.
Equally ugly was Qu Qiuyan, who was also sitting next to Dowager Consort Qu, her face as white as snow.
She actually didn’t just have an ugly face now, after seeing Qu Mo Ying appear in a good way, her face was ugly until now.
Aoiku, standing behind her, shook, her entire body shaking by now.
“Fourth Miss Qu tell us what’s going on?” Empress Dowager turned to Qu Mo Ying and asked coldly.
Qu Mo Ying was about to speak, but she saw Tai Concubine Qu reach out and press her hand, “Could Empress Dowager first have someone interrogate them individually and ask them about the situation at the time?”
Separate questions, in order to ask clearly, also lest these people collude, compared to Qu Mo Ying’s side, Li Meiren’s side is really too many people.
Right now at this time are trying to push things onto Qu Mo Ying.
The Empress nodded her head and called a few of her own palace people to bring down Beauty Li’s palace people and then interrogate them separately.
“Fourth Miss Qu, tell us!” Only after everyone had gone down did the Empress ask.
Qu Mo Ying stood up and graciously bowed to the Empress Dowager, then told the story of what happened.
Beginning with her going out for a walk and stumbling upon Li Mei Ren, and some of Li Mei Ren’s provocative words, and the tea that Li Mei Ren had had brought with her, and then when Li Mei Ren slammed the tealight on top of her own tealight on the face off, and the two of them had to stand up, and under the handful of hands and feet, Li Mei Ren gave the cat to the courtesan by her side, and then the courtesan put the cat down on the stone table again.
After that, she went to sort out the clothes for Li Meiren, and after finishing, the courtesan stood up, pressed her hand on the top of the cat’s tail, and pushed the cat in the right direction, and the cat lunged at Qu Mo Ying, Yu Dong went up and pulled Qu Mo Ying, and pushed the cat away with force, and she didn’t expect that the cat would go towards Li Meiren.
Li Mei Ren was originally able to avoid it, but there were just too many people in the palace at her place, so she had no place to retreat even if she wanted to, and the cat clawed at her face.
This is how it happened, Qu Mo Ying spoke in detail, even the details were clear.
When she was finished, Qu Mo Ying bowed to the Empress Dowager, then raised her eyes and said, “There are a few things that my daughter is not sure about, so I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to clear up her confusion.”
“What is it?” The Empress asked slowly after looking at her for a few moments.
“The place where the Dowager Concubine is located is rather remote, and in the past days, I heard the Dowager Concubine say that basically no lady would come over here, but why did this lady come over all of a sudden today? This matron has never been seen or even heard of before, but she seems to be very displeased with my daughter, and besides that cat, is it this matron’s own?”
Qu Mo Ying asked in a very confused manner, as a fourth young miss from Servant Qu’s residence who was abandoned in the manor, it was only natural that she knew nothing about the palace.
Of course she didn’t know that the cat would be He Guifei’s!
The Empress Dowager’s eyes, which did not carry a single ripple, moved twice, then her voice grew colder and colder, “The cat belongs to Noble Consort He!”
“Noble Consort’s cat, let Li Beauty carry it to such a remote place, and …” Qu Mo Ying’s words stopped here, seemingly not daring to speak further.
If this accident is really like what she said, Li Meiren is indeed suspicious, and even gives a feeling of self-inflicted, like Li Meiren herself to assassinate Qu Mo Ying, and also deliberately bring the cat, just because of some accidents in the middle of the accident, the last accident is Li Meiren.
Li Mei Ren and He Guifei’s relationship is good, Empress Dowager is aware of it, just Fang did not think of it for a moment, but now there are more points of contemplation.
“Empress mother save me, save my concubine …” in the remote pounced out of the head are wrapped tightly Li Meiren, she is now full of head full of white cloth, only reveal a pair of eyes can still see things, this will cry and pounced out, kneeling down in front of the Empress mother, face of the White cloth vaguely have blood oozing out, obviously the situation is very bad.
The Empress Mother looked to one side at the eunuch.
The eunuch shook his head helplessly, “I’m afraid that Li Meiren face … is …”
He left his words half spoken, but the meaning of them was understood by all present.
“No … it won’t, it won’t, my face, my face …” Li Beauty cried out, and pounced on the eunuch again, pulling the eunuch’s medical robe with one hand. “Imperial Doctor, save me, save me.”
The Imperial Doctor was scared by her and took two steps backward, helplessly his robes were pulled and he said urgently, “Your Highness, for the minister has already tried his best, not only is there a cat scratch on the face of your Highness, but you have also used the wrong medicine … it is no longer possible!”
“No… can’t work?” Li Meiren despairingly put down the eunuch’s robe and reached out to cover her face, “It doesn’t work, why doesn’t it work … I … have to look for the Emperor, I have to go look for the Emperor… …”
She said turning her head from side to side in a hurry, as if trying to find someone who could save her, her gaze suddenly landed on Qu Mo Ying’s body, and the bottom of her eyes became blood red.
Suddenly stood up and pounced on Qu Mo Ying, his hands fiercely grabbed at Qu Mo Ying’s face, hissing shrilly, “Why not you, why not you, you’re the bitch who should have her face ruined, it’s you … it’s you … ”
Yu Dong had been on guard against Beauty Li, and when he saw her pouncing, he immediately stepped forward to block her, pressed down on her hand, and pushed forward with such force that Beauty Li collapsed heavily to the ground, and in pain, he let out a few more shrill cries of misery.
“Men, take Beauty Li back!” Seeing that the situation had gotten so out of hand, it was really uncharacteristic, the Empress commanded in a cold voice.
To make a scene in front of so many people, she, the Empress Mother, would have no honor on her face.
Two men came over and pulled down Beauty Li, who still wanted to make a scene, and sent her back to her own palace room.
This will be before sent to interrogate the palace people, one by one came back, the things they asked all reported to the Empress Mother.
The cause of the incident was basically the same, but only individual palace people mentioned the words of Li Mei Ren’s previous provocation to Qu Mo Ying, and after that, as to why the cat suddenly pounced on Li Mei Ren, basically they all said that it was the maid beside Qu Mo Ying who deliberately bumped the cat into Li Mei Ren’s face.
The cat is suddenly frightened and pounces on Fourth Miss Qu, then the maid steps forward and slams the cat in front of Beauty Li, causing her to be disfigured.
This sounded like an accident, but the center point of the accident was Qu Mo Ying and Yu Dong, no matter what, if Beauty Li was disfigured, the ones to blame would inevitably be Qu Mo Ying and Yu Dong.
As for why the cat was frightened, all the palace people said they did not know, they were all looking after Li Mei Ren, no one was clear that a good cat would suddenly stretch its claws, this cat is He Guifei’s, in the past, the most docile but never heard of scratching anything.
She also said that Beauty Li usually traveled with her cat in her arms and took a walk, but today she was just looking at a nice view and walked a little farther.
These words were also apparently set in stone, as were all the courtiers.
It could be almost exactly the same!
Qu Mo Ying heard, the corner of the lips noiselessly hooked, eye veil under the eyes of a cold and hostile, it is really early to prepare for the next, is to deal with the incident after the interrogation, but there are some accidents, in the middle of the part of the time did not have time to confession, seems too chaotic, and also so that the words of the previous confession, too neat.
Makes life feel out of place.
Too soon is too late, said the current situation, if it is really their own accident, the palace people’s speech, and then there is Li Mei people’s testimony , everything can let Li Mei people perfect get away, since Li Mei people get away, she was surrounded by those palace people of course is also no fault.
Who would have thought that a cat would suddenly go crazy and scratch someone?
Only, she really can’t figure out, how did Qu Qiuyan let this palace beauty Li, do it for her? But looking at the cause and passage of this matter, as well as Qu Qiuyan’s early preparation of the medicine, we know that Qu Qiuyan knows, and is related to her, because of this inside He Guifei?
Qu Mo Ying for a moment still can not figure out, this He Noble Consort in the harem has always been known for gentleness and decency, and therefore more favored by the emperor, she such a person need to deal with their own?
The answer is definitely no, so that makes this even more interesting …
