Chapter 594: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
I saw Lady Liu holding a teacup, but the bottom of the cup was gone. It fell off the cup and landed on her, then rolled to the ground. The whole cup of tea spilled directly onto her chest and skirt.
Even though what she was wearing was relatively thick, it was just a few more layers of cloth, not as dense as modern fabrics, so the water seeped in quickly. Lady Liu stood there and patted the clothes to try to get the water out.
I don’t know if it was because I was too flustered, but I forgot I was still holding the remaining cup.
The cup shattered again when it hit the beaded decoration on the chest. The sharp notch directly cut the beads, and the white pearls scattered instantly, and a big hole was also cut in the silk outer garment.
She raised her foot to pick it up, but she stepped on the beads and fell face down on the ground with a bang. She must have fallen too hard, and she lay there for a long time without getting up.
This series of events shocked everyone. Even the Queen Mother, who was interrupted, didn't care to be angry. This was too unlucky!
The Queen Mother was the most knowledgeable and experienced. She was the first to come to her senses and ordered the palace servants to help the man up quickly and clean up the mess on the ground.
Looking at the face that was cut by the broken pieces of the cup, Xiao Yun tried hard to keep a straight face, but he was already laughing in his heart.
The bad luck talisman I drew was really powerful. Even if it was a low-level one, it could still hurt someone so badly, and make them lose face in public. It was so satisfying to watch.
It’s a pity that the tea was warm. It would have been better if it was boiling hot. It would have been better if she had been injured a little, and it would have made the original owner feel better.
This Concubine Liu is not a good person. Not only is she a substitute for Qiao Wan, but the master and servant often play the good cop and the bad cop respectively. She also does those shameful and dirty things for Qiao Wan.
Otherwise, Qiao Wan wouldn't value her so much and even share men with her. She is a true confidant.
Most importantly, it was she who gave Qiao Wan the idea to deal with the Zhenguo Mansion! Although the specific implementation was planned by Prime Minister Qiao, she also played an important role.
After the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion lost its power, she often provoked the original body, making the original body, who was already irritable due to the drugs, lose her temper and act like a madman, so that the Queen Mother would have an excuse to take the child away.
Seeing Concubine Liu's appearance, Qiao Wan's face turned extremely ugly for a moment, but she quickly restrained her emotions and said with concern: "Qing'er, are you okay? Why are you so careless? Mother, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at the wound on her face? It would be bad if she left a scar."
She really didn't expect that a person could be so unlucky. She saw it happen one after another. This not only made her lose face, but also disrupted her original plan.
She originally wanted to use her words to make Xiao Yun behave disrespectfully in front of the Queen Mother. If he did it too many times, the Queen Mother would definitely get tired of Xiao Yun and even take action against him. Then she could reap the benefits.
How can she continue like this? She could only appease Concubine Liu first. Qiao Wan suppressed her impatience and looked at the Queen Mother with a worried look on her face.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Send Lady Liu back. Let the imperial physician treat her so she doesn't have to move again later. We've invited An today, and I'm tired. Let's all go."
She didn't want anyone to treat her in her palace, as it would bring bad luck.
Everyone bowed and took their leave. Xiao Yun used his wide sleeves to cover his eyes and flicked a dream seed at the empress dowager, then followed the crowd out.
The final winner of this palace fight had even more shady hands, having taken the lives of at least ten people. Moreover, Xiao Yun discovered that she was not protected by the dynasty's luck, which was not normal for a queen dowager.
Even if it is not the world of immortal cultivation, even in the Dharma Ending Age, the dynasty's fortune and national fortune still exist. As a superior, you will be protected to a certain extent, unless the other party is a person who brings disaster to the country and the people, or... is not a member of the royal family.
Xiao Yun was thinking about these suspicious things, so she didn't notice that a palace maid who was sweeping the yard looked at her several times with a curious look in her eyes.
After returning to Liuyun Palace, Xiao Yun asked Yuegui to ask the wet nurse to bring his adopted son over. He came back early today. In the past, he would not come back until almost ten o'clock, but now it was not even nine o'clock.
"Ah~ah~mu~"
The little fat boy started shouting before he even entered the door. When he saw Xiao Yun, he started to jump around in the nanny's arms. Yue Gui, who was standing next to him, was so scared that she stretched out her hands to protect him, ready to catch him at any time.
Xiao Yun stood up with a smile, took him over, and put it against the fat boy's face. He couldn't help but rub it. It was so soft.
The little fat boy also rubbed against her and laughed happily.
Waving his hand to let the two go down, Xiao Yun held the child and sat on the couch by the window, then took out a banana from the space and fed the child.
The little fat boy has eight small milk teeth on the upper and lower parts, but he can still chew bananas.
"what?"
The little fat boy looked at the thing that was handed to his mouth with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes almost crossed, which made Xiao Yun laugh out loud.
"Don't study it, it's delicious, eat it."
The little fat boy Chu Sheng is already ten months old. In fact, he can understand a lot of words, but he can't speak yet. He can only express himself by nodding and shaking his head, but his facial expressions are very rich.
After hearing my mother say it was food and smelling the fragrance, I opened my mouth and took a tentative bite.
Hmm! His already big eyes widened, and then he reached out and grabbed the banana himself, opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, his eyes narrowed into crescents, and he hummed as he ate.
Xiao Yun took the handkerchief from the table next to him and wiped the crumbs from his mouth. "It's all yours. Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
The little fat boy understood and immediately took out the large piece of food that he had stuffed into his mouth and took a small bite.
Then he blinked and looked at her. Xiao Yun inexplicably understood that he was asking for praise.
She said without hesitation: "My dear Sheng'er is so good~"
After saying that, she kissed his bald head.
The little fat boy grinned contentedly while chewing the banana in his mouth, but as a result, more saliva leaked out. Xiao Yun had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and keep wiping it.
Through observation, it was found that the kid's IQ was not low, so Xiao Yun did not plan to give him the enlightenment pill. He still had to prepare the body-building pill and the strength pill. It would be difficult to explain in the future if he had great strength since he was a child.
There are also strongmen in this dynasty, and they are not regarded as outliers. For example, the grandfather of the former Second Prince and the current Second Prince, General Weiwu, is one of them. It is said that his weapon is a pair of copper hammers weighing three hundred pounds.
Even the Second Prince's biological mother inherited some of it, but it wasn't as exaggerated. She was just a little stronger than the average person. It was a pity that the Second Prince didn't inherit it, otherwise he would have to go to the military camp to gain experience like the Third Prince.
Speaking of which, the concubines of the previous emperor were all quite honest. None of them caused trouble. I don’t know if it was because of Emperor Yongkang’s halo as the protagonist.
