Chapter 20 Kill the Emperor and Become the Queen Mother (20)

Even if the Queen was here, they would think it was Banxia's idea. After all, the Queen had never cared about them.

"I haven't seen you so diligent on weekdays! What's the matter? Can't you stand standing for such a while?" Banxia said sternly.

Although she is young, she is the queen's personal maid after all, so she is quite stylish.

"Look at what you said. Aren't we the ones who do all the work in Fengyi Palace?"

Banxia is only nineteen this year, so the palace maids naturally do not obey her. If the queen does not bring a maid, the position of the head maid in Fengyi Palace will definitely go to those of them who have the qualifications.

"Hey! Do you still know that you are from Fengyi Palace?" Banxia walked back and forth in front of them with a mocking tone.

The palace servants' faces changed, and they finally understood why they were called here today...

Of the thirty-four palace maids in Fengyi Palace, at least ten were stuffed in from other palaces, and at least twenty of the remaining twenty or so were bribed...

There are almost no loyal queens who work honestly for Fengyi Palace.

Banxia was just about to give them a good beating, but out of the corner of her eye she saw her own queen gently raise her hand.

She was a little confused, but she still consciously closed her mouth and stepped aside.

Nan Yue opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

Her slightly cold eyes swept over the palace servants one by one...

The palace servants who were swept by her gaze lowered their heads unconsciously, with cold sweat on their backs.

Nan Yue pointed at the three palace servants at the back and said, "You three..."

Before she finished speaking, the three of them knelt down hurriedly, "Madam, we are loyal to Fengyi Palace..."

These three people have indeed never been bribed, but if you talk about loyalty, they are not very loyal.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no one who tried to stop Concubine Zhao that day.

Nan Yue frowned and continued, "You three go to Tingyu Palace to serve Concubine Ning."

These three people have done nothing wrong. Concubine Ning is from the Queen's faction, so it would be just right to give her a few palace maids.

The three of them looked flustered. Why did the Queen suddenly not want them? Did they do something wrong?

Banxia only thought that the three of them had spread the news. Upon hearing this, she snorted coldly, "The Queen is kind-hearted and will not punish you. Why don't you thank her quickly!"

There are many people in Fengyi Palace, so it doesn't matter if there are three less. When the time comes, she will personally pick a few honest ones to serve the Empress.

The other palace servants breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen was indeed young. They thought she was going to do something with all the fanfare, but she ended up driving away three young palace maids who had done nothing.

The three of them had bitter faces. Their presence had always been low, but somehow they were pointed out by the Empress...

"As for the rest..."

444 quickly spoke up, "You can't kill anyone! I told you!"

That’s right, 444 still had to bow her head. There was no other way. If Su Zun killed all these palace servants, she would become a real vicious woman, and the difficulty of the strategy mission would increase again.

Nan Yue said expressionlessly: "Each of you will receive twenty strokes of the cane and be exiled to the palace."

She had no intention of taking action in the first place; killing these palace servants was too easy.

If she really wanted to do it, she would not tell 444 on purpose.

As long as she wanted, she could draw out the Guiying Sword and raze the entire palace to the ground with one strike.

However, an ordinary body could not withstand her strength. If she drew her knife, this weak body would die in seconds. Nan Yue would not be so impulsive.

Of course, it is also possible to draw the sword and kill these people.

But why bother?

These mortals do not deserve death.

She loves to fight, or to be more precise, she loves to fight with opponents of equal strength.

There is no point in bullying the weak and crushing them unilaterally.

Twenty sticks? Ye Ting?

Twenty strokes of the cane, even if he doesn't die, he will have to lie in bed for more than a month, not to mention going to a place like the Palace...

The Ye Ting was where unfavored concubines and palace maids who had made mistakes were kept.

Without anyone to take care of us, life becomes even more miserable.

The palace maids were stunned and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy...

Banxia was also shocked. She quickly walked to Nanyue and asked, "My queen, do you really want to punish so many people?"

This……

Three were given to Concubine Ning, and the rest were all exiled to the Ye Ting. Wouldn't she be the only old lady left in Fengyi Palace?

Seeing that Nan Yue had made up her mind, the leading maid couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what mistakes we made that caused Her Majesty to punish us like this?"

Another maid also echoed: "Your Majesty, you punished me for no reason. I will not accept it!"

"Just because Aunt Banxia suspected you, Queen, are you going to punish us?"

"It's really unreasonable to do this!"

Banxia reminded her quietly, "My Lady, you have punished too many people. I'm afraid you will be criticized."

She thought for a moment and suggested, "In my opinion, it is better to punish a few first, and then find some excuse to deal with the rest later."

She also hated the people in Fengyi Palace for being disloyal, but she could just give them a warning and make an example of them. If she punished so many people at once, the reputation of the Empress in the harem... would probably be even worse.

Nan Yue said coldly: "I am the queen, can't I punish a few traitors?"

The palace servants shuddered and felt a little guilty.

Since the queen had decided to do this, Banxia could only support her. She found a tenable excuse and said, "That day when Concubine Zhao went crazy, none of you tried to stop her. The queen is already weak and delicate. If you hurt her, your lives would not be enough to compensate!"

Banxia got angry when she thought of that day. Her waist still hurts to this day. Fortunately, the Empress was not hurt.

Nan Yue was too lazy to say so much. If it was going to be solved, it would be solved. Taking it slow was not her style.

The fact that the Queen Mother punished a palace maid was soon known to everyone in the harem.

The carefully cultivated spies were destroyed, and the concubines in other palaces were a little anxious, but they had no intention of going to the Ye Ting to rescue someone just for a slave.

When Concubine Ning received the three palace maids sent by the Queen, her smile was a little stiff, but she still expressed her gratitude.

The personal maid asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you arrange these people? Could they be spies planted by the Queen?"

Concubine Ning laughed and said, "What else can we do? Let them stay in Tingyu Palace."

Thinking of the Queen who had stopped paying respects that day, Concubine Ning unexpectedly guessed a little bit of Nan Yue's thoughts at some point...

Eyes and ears?

Perhaps he thought these palace maids were difficult to deal with, so he threw them to her.

……

That night.

Six days have passed since Concubine Zhao caused a commotion in Fengyi Palace.

In these six days, Xiao Jinnian didn't come to see her once.

Although the time spent raising the child was not long, only half a month, but after all, this was the kid she wanted to adopt, so Nan Yue also put some effort into it.

But now it seems that Xiao Jinnian is not only indecisive, but also cowardly.

After what happened that day, you don't dare to come see her?

Not to mention that his mother stopped him from coming. After so much time in the morning class, could Concubine Zhao still keep an eye on him all the time?

Nan Yue was secretly calculating in her heart...

The eldest prince died young, and the second prince...

She is mediocre and a saint. It is quite suitable that her biological mother died early, so she will not encounter troubles like Concubine Zhao.

But the main reason was that he was too old and difficult to teach, so she excluded him early on.
