Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 204 The Instigator
Asparagus' shout came in, the board stopped, and Qingzhi looked at Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning shook her head, "Continue to fight."

After Qingzhi explained Lu Wanning's intentions, the two little eunuchs continued to lift the board and hit Wenzhu one after another.

The pain coming from his body made Wen Zhu beg for mercy, "Mother... I will recruit you, I will recruit everything, please stop beating me."

The two young eunuchs looked at Qingzhi, seeing that Qingzhi didn't respond, they didn't dare to stop, and the board continued to fall on Wenzhu.

After a while, Lu Wanning heard that Wen Zhu's shouting was getting weaker and weaker, so she asked Qing Dai to go out and stop shouting.

The blood-covered asparagus was dragged into the hall, Lu Wanning sat there, and said lightly, "Tell me, who ordered you?"

"Yes... it's Madam Xi..." Wen Zhu said weakly, "Miss Xi ordered the slaves to do everything, please forgive the slaves."

"Do you have any proof that Xi Concubine asked you to do it?" Lu Wanning asked.

Wenzhu paused for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "I have no proof, but the lady believes in the servant, and it is really the concubine who asked the servant to do it. The lady helped the servant before, and the servant entered Ruichang Palace. Empress Xi concubine arranged."

"Since there is no evidence, it's just your one-sided opinion, which is useless." Lu Wanning shook her head, and said to the two young eunuchs below: "Drag out, die!"

Wenzhu heard that she was already in pain and had no strength to lie on the ground like a dead pig. She struggled and knelt on the ground, begging Lu Wanning for mercy, "Mother, please spare this time, I don't want to die. I must be loyal to you, please..."

Lu Wanning didn't even blink her eyes, she just said to Qingzhi: "Go and call all the people in Ruichang Palace, let them see with their own eyes the fate of those who betrayed the Lord."

Wenzhu was dragged out by two young eunuchs, and Qingzhi quickly gathered all the maids and eunuchs serving in Ruichang Palace in the courtyard.

Everyone looked at the board that fell on Wenzhu's body, and listened to Wenzhu's continuous howling, all of them trembled in their hearts.

When they came to serve in Ruichang Palace, they heard people say that Concubine Zhuang has a good temper and is very kind to those who serve her. They usually don't beat and scold maids and eunuchs. The empress is indeed as good-tempered as the rumors say.

But today they only found out that Concubine Zhuang has a good temper because you didn't make any mistakes. If you made an unforgivable mistake, Concubine Zhuang is not easy to talk to.

The asparagus bamboo was beaten to pieces, and people have already vented more and breathed less.

There were a lot of timid people who looked at the bruised asparagus and couldn't help closing their eyes. After Qingzhi found out, she scolded: "Open your eyes and watch carefully, so that everyone will not talk about the master. Do something against the Lord again."

The few people with closed eyes had to open their eyes after hearing Qingzhi's words, watching asparagus gradually lost its breath under the little eunuch's board.

After asking the little eunuch to drag Wenzhu's body out and throw it at the mass grave, Qingzhi gave a lecture to the maids and eunuchs in Ruichang Palace before letting everyone disperse.

When Qingzhi returned to the hall, Banxia was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to lift her head.

After another quarter of an hour, Lu Wanning finally said, "Drag out..."

Before Lu Wanning finished speaking, Ban Xia was already crying and begging for mercy: "I beg your mother to spare this servant, I know I was wrong."

Lu Wanning paused for a moment, then changed her words, and said, "Then tell me where you went wrong?"

Ban Xia immediately said: "The fault of this servant is that she didn't take good care of the flowers of the empress, and she also intended to hide the truth and escape punishment."

"What else?" Lu Wanning asked lightly.

"Also..." Ban Xia pondered for a while, then replied: "There are also slaves who shouldn't believe in asparagus, and shouldn't go to Sister Qingzhi at that time."

"Do you know what will happen if that bowl of medicine gets into my stomach?" Lu Wanning said.

When Ban Xia heard this, she cried even more fiercely, "Your maidservant made a mistake, my maidservant made a mistake, and my maidservant will definitely not be confused again in the future."

Lu Wanning looked at the weeping Pinellia, and said, "Today, I beat you twenty boards, so that your memory will be long, are you convinced?"

It's just twenty boards, isn't it to kill yourself?

Ban Xia heard the words and said gratefully: "I am obedient, I am obedient, thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

Lu Wanning waved her hand and asked Ban Xia to go out to be punished.

After Banxia left, Qingzhi asked Lu Wanning in a low voice: "Master, what are you going to do with Concubine Xi?"

Since they have no evidence to prove that it was Concubine Xi who instigated Asparagus to drug Lu Wanning, then there is no reason to ask Xi Concubine to settle the score in an upright manner, and Lu Wanning has already killed the asparagus stick, which means that Lu Wanning did not intend to use palace rules at all. And normal means to punish Xi Concubine.

In this way, if Xi Concubine wants to pay the price, he can only use less upright means.

Lu Wanning smiled, and said leisurely: "There's no rush, since Concubine Xi doesn't want to live a peaceful life, then I'll add some excitement to her."

Qingzhi and Qingdai glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Master, if you have anything to do, just tell your slaves."

"You go and find a way to disclose to Wen Zhaoyi that Xi concubine Wen Zhaoyi made a fool of herself on the emperor's birthday." Lu Wanning instructed Qing Dai, "Especially tell her that the maid named Huang Xiang has not yet arrived at Xi concubine's birthday." I have to tell her about the things that I have done for my concubine before she became an errand by my concubine's side."

It is best not to use tricks such as borrowing a knife to kill people.

Qingdai heard the words, and said crisply: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Lu Wanning nodded, and then asked Qingzhi, "Do you still keep the box of incense powder that I accidentally added something wrong when I was making it?"

Qingzhi replied: "The maidservant is keeping it."

When Lu Wanning was making that box of incense powder, she accidentally added a wrong medicinal material. After making it, Lu Wanning smelled something wrong, so she tried it on her arm, and found that her arm would turn red and red after using the powder. swell.

Lu Wanning guessed that the medicinal material she added by mistake reacted with other medicinal materials in the powder, which made the powder box poisonous.

Lu Wanning originally asked Qingzhi to dispose of the powder, but Qingzhi persuaded Lu Wanning: "You should put it away first, maybe you can use it later."

Lu Wanning thought about it, and agreed with Qingzhi.

I didn't expect this box of incense powder to be really useful now.

It's also fortunate that this box of face powder was not disposed of, otherwise even if she could remix it, she would not touch those things now that she is pregnant.
