"Ah..." Li Shi screamed out, tears welled up, and he was completely dumbfounded.

She has been in the palace for many years, and she has never seen the emperor so angry. The emperor has always been humble and doting to the harem, and this is the first time to beat someone.

Not only Mrs. Li, Ma Guan, Sister Shuang, and countless court ladies, eunuchs and ladies around were all shocked.

In an instant, the crowd knelt down on the ground in the yard, everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, the emperor was really angry!

Wanyan who was hiding in the crowd was frightened and excited, that idiot of Li really exploded at one point, actually hit someone in full view, and was even caught by the emperor, let's see how she ends up this time.

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." Li Shi finally came back to her senses, covered her swollen cheeks, her eyes filled with disbelief, the Emperor actually hit her without asking why?

Just for a lowly court lady?

Kangxi asked in a cold voice: "Who gave you the right to beat up the maid at will? I usually thought you were straightforward and cute, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious and arrogant. What mistakes did these two maids make? Shi punished like this?"

Mrs. Li's complexion was pale from being trained, and she knelt down on the ground as soon as her knees were bent, and said cryingly: "Please be aware, the emperor, I am also for the little elder brother. Pay attention to sneaking into the little elder brother's room and committing murder, pinching the little elder brother's arm black and blue, otherwise the concubine will not be like this... Please the emperor decide the concubine's body, your majesty."

Kangxi frowned, and looked at Ma Quan and the two. He never believed that the two maids had such courage, nor did he believe that Ma Quan would do such a thing.

"Tell me, is what she said true?" He asked Maru.

"Your Majesty, they..." Li Shi was about to interrupt in a hurry, and gave Ma Guan a threatening look.

"Shut up." Kangxi yelled angrily, Li Shi only felt a chill down her spine, and dared not speak again.

Ma Quan didn't look at her, just knelt on the ground upright, neither crying nor fussing, and replied respectfully: "Going back to the emperor, this servant has been in Shuangjie's room before, and has never been to the little brother's room. Sister Shuang finished gossiping, Sister Shuang sent her slaves to Aunt Su Ma, and she was stopped by the empress."

Mrs. Li stared at Ma Guan angrily, a mere court lady dared to expose her in public, telling her to lose face in front of the emperor, and sooner or later she would make her look good!

"Where is my little brother's wet nurse?" Kangxi asked.

"Your servant has seen the emperor." The wet nurse trembled and took two steps forward on her knees.

Kangxi asked: "Did you see these two maids enter the little brother's room and hurt the little brother?"

"Going back to the emperor, the servant is gone, I didn't see...but the servant left for a while..." The wet nurse was very frightened, she was responsible for taking care of the little elder brother, now that the little elder brother was hurt by someone, she was afraid she could bear the blame.

"Why did you leave?" Kangxi was really displeased.

The nurse pointed at Du Juan who was kneeling beside her, and stammered, "She told the servant that the master has something to look for, so the servant went to the master's bedroom."

"You, you are talking nonsense." Du Juan was terrified, and immediately begged for mercy: "The emperor is clear, the slaves have never looked for her, the emperor is clear!"

Mrs. Ma Jia was also helped out at some point, and said with an ugly face: "Please check clearly, the nurse has indeed come to the concubine's bedroom, but the concubine did not order anyone to summon her."

Rhododendron turned pale and almost collapsed on the ground in fright.Li's complexion was also pale. How could something that was clearly a sure thing become like this?

She just listened to Yan's suggestion and found an opportunity to clean up Ma Guan. How did she become like this?

If the emperor does not come, this plan will be foolproof, and Ma Guan will have to bear the beating.However, the emperor is here!

"Your Majesty, my little elder brother's arm is intact and has not been injured." Ma Jia asked someone to carry the child out, and even rolled up his sleeves for Kangxi to see.

The little elder brother's arms are white and tender like lotus roots, and he has never been injured.

Only then did Kangxi heave a sigh of relief, but his heart became more and more angry. Li Shi was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, deliberately framing Ma Guan!

"Li Shi, what else do you have to say?!"

"Your majesty, I'm a concubine..." Li felt his tongue was dry and couldn't utter a word of excuse.

Because she didn't want to tear herself apart with Ma Jiashi, she didn't hurt the little elder brother, after all, he was the blood of the royal family.Even if Ma Jia knew about it afterwards, it would be no good, after all, she didn't really hurt the little elder brother.

But now, it became a clear proof that she framed Ma Guan.

"Framing the court lady for no reason, and even making people beat her, she is vicious and lawless! Someone, send Mrs. Li back to the Changchun Palace. From now on, after half a year of contemplation behind closed doors, she will not be allowed to step out of the Changchun Palace!" Kangxi was obviously extremely angry, and Mrs. Li spent half a year thinking behind closed doors. , this punishment is not insignificant.

"The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life... I made a mistake, and I will never dare to do it again. It was Wanyan who asked me to do this. Your majesty, please forgive me..." Li cried, and at this time, she also cared. Not so much, and directly dragged Wanyan into the water.

How could she have done such a thing if it wasn't for that woman's instigation several times?

The soul of Wanyan's who was kneeling beside her was almost scared away. This bitch Li is really abominable. She advised her, and when something happened, she actually pushed the responsibility onto herself.

"My Majesty, please check clearly, I have never done such a thing before." Wanyan hurriedly kowtowed in defense.

"Your Majesty, it is really the Wanyan family who pushed this concubine. The concubine has done something wrong, and she admits to being punished, but I hope that the emperor will punish her together with Wanyan." Li Shi also accepted her fate at this moment, even if she was punished, she would be fine. Find a backrest.

A look of disgust flashed in Kangxi's eyes, he hated people with vicious thoughts the most.

"Send Wanyan family back to Xianfu Palace. From now on, after three months of contemplation behind closed doors, you must not step out of Xianfu Palace!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty, I really don't have a concubine..." Wanyan burst into tears, resentful and regretful, it was all caused by this bitch Li!

Mrs. Li was very happy, at the first glance, Mrs. Yan knew that she had no good intentions, and she deserved it this time.

The two were quickly dragged out, and everyone in the courtyard fell silent. After a while, the two empresses fell in.

Only then did Kangxi look at Du Juan, and ordered in a cold voice: "Drag this lowly maidservant down and beat her [-] boards, and if she survives, she will be fined and sent to Xin Zhe's treasury, and she will never be released."

"The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life... It's the mother who made the slaves... um..." Du Juan was shocked, and she was still biting at this time, and the two eunuchs immediately used their hands hard, knocking her out.

The people who were an eyesore were finally taken away, and Kangxi gave Ma Yuan a pitiful look: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very grateful in her heart.

If it wasn't for the sudden arrival of the emperor today, she would definitely have endured the beating, and she still has nowhere to redress her grievances.

She helped Shuangjie to stand up, but Sister twisted because of the pain in her back, and one of her sleeves was immediately lifted up, revealing a large bruise on her face, which was shocking.

Sister Shuang felt her arms go cold, she hurriedly pulled off her sleeve robe, and cast a suspicious glance at Ma Guan from the corner of her eye.

"Which palace are you a maid of honor? What's the matter with the scar on your arm?" Kangxi was already angry, but seeing this scene, his anger flared up again.

The phenomenon of punishing maids in the harem seems to be more frequent and terrifying than imagined.

"Back to the emperor, this servant is a maid from Zhongcui Palace, the scars, the scars are all from this servant..."

"You are not allowed to lie to the emperor, otherwise you are deceiving the emperor." Ma Guan was anxious, but the twin sisters still refused to tell the truth at this time, so she could only remind her in a low voice.

Sister Shuang shuddered, knelt down again, and said in a crying voice: "The wounds of this servant are all beaten by Aunt Xiangmei..."

"What nonsense are you bastard?" Xiangmei was furious. This timid and cowardly bastard dared to expose her in front of the emperor!

Thinking of Du Juan's fate, she couldn't help shivering. She didn't want to be spanked, let alone sent to Xinzheku!

"Hmph." Kangxi sneered, his face sinking like water: "Ma Jia, tell me!"

This court lady dared to utter obscenities in front of him, which shows how arrogant she is usually.

Ma Jiashi was about to faint, she was secretly happy when she saw Li Shi and Wanyan's feet being grounded before, but she didn't know that something went wrong in her own palace in a blink of an eye.

She had no memory of that little palace maid at all, she seemed to be doing rough work, and Xiangmei had always been in charge of her.She didn't expect Xiangmei to be so ruthless, torturing a little maid like this.

"Your Majesty, there may be some misunderstanding about this matter..." She was about to break out in a cold sweat.

"Misunderstanding? Then tell me, what is the misunderstanding?" Kangxi did not stop until he reached his goal.

Ma Jiashi gritted her teeth, gave Xiangmei a hard look, and replied, "This maid was picked in by Xiangmei only recently, and it was Xiangmei who taught her all the time. The concubine was pregnant before, so there was no Let her serve closely, so..."

"Your Majesty, I really didn't hit her..." Xiangmei was still crying, tears streaming down her face.

Kangxi didn't bother to pay attention to the two, and asked Sister Shuang: "Tell me carefully, how did she punish you?"

The twin sisters looked terrified, and when they saw Ma Guan's encouraging eyes, they plucked up their courage and said, "Back to the emperor, Sister Xiangmei only feeds the servants one meal a day, and sometimes it's so bad... She asks the servants to clean the rooms for all the sisters. Brushing the pail, beating the servants if they don’t do well, and sometimes stabbing the servants with a hairpin... just because the servants stepped on her shoes the day they entered the palace."

She lifted up the other sleeve, and saw that there were indeed two red and swollen holes on her arm, which seemed to be newly pierced.

Ma Guan held her hand, tears came out, she really didn't expect the life of the twin sisters to be so miserable.

At the beginning, when she stood up for her twin sisters, she thought that if she gave Xiangmei a hairpin, the matter would be over.How did he know that this person has such a small mind and holds grudges to this extent.

"Lawless! There is such a vicious person in the harem!" Kangxi was furious, and immediately ordered: "Drag Xiangmei down and die!"

"Forgive me... Your Majesty, please help me... Your Majesty, save this servant girl... Mmm..." Xiangmei was terrified, a foul smell came out, and her skirt was wet a lot.

The two eunuchs dragged her away in disgust, lest she tarnish the emperor's eyes again.

"Zhongcui Palace is very good, very good!" Kangxi glanced at Ma Jiashi indifferently, Ma Jiashi felt cold all over and almost fell to the ground.

Kangxi didn't bother to pay attention to her, his eyes fell on Ma Guan's red and swollen cheeks, with a flash of pity.

He waved and said, "Come here."
