Chapter 250
Fortunately, Qingying didn't wait too long.
Then he said, "Since Concubine Hui asked, Jin Changzai, why don't you tell me why you attacked Concubine Yi and even beat her to the point of fainting?"
When Qingying said this, there was an uproar in the hall.
Hitting him until he fainted, how much force was used...
Jin Changzai shed two lines of tears.
She said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi mocked me, saying that my hometown is a poor and remote place and that I am just a tribute girl and not worthy of speaking to her. She even started the fight and slapped me in the face."
As she spoke, Jin Changzai slightly raised her head, revealing her cheek that had been slapped. "Until now, the mark on my face has not disappeared yet."
"Your Majesty, I know that I was impulsive and fought back against Noble Lady Yi. This is my fault. I dare not ask for exemption from punishment, but I ask Your Majesty to show mercy and punish Noble Lady Yi together."
After he finished speaking, Jin Chang kowtowed to the ground, seeming to be extremely aggrieved.
But before Qingying could speak, Concubine Hui sneered and said, "Noble Lady Yi is of a higher rank than you, so even if it is a punishment, you should accept it."
"Can a mere impulsive remark completely erase your guilt for flouting palace rules and disregarding the distinction between high and low?"
Relentless pursuit is what Concubine Hui is best at.
Now that we have caught Jin Changzai's mistake, how can we not hold her accountable to the end?
Qingying's gaze wandered between the two of them for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, someone suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and make the decision for me!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Concubine Yi who had fainted.
But at this moment, the other person's hair was disheveled and his clothes were a little torn, which made him look really unpresentable.
Qingying frowned slightly and shouted, "How dare you, Lady Yi, what are you doing?!"
"I am not well-groomed. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I am truly wronged."
"Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor turned over the name card of a concubine last night, but Jin flattered him and sought his favor, disregarding the palace rules."
"Although I am not of high rank, I feel deeply wronged to be humiliated by a maid. I beg the Empress to help me!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jin slowly knelt up straight, but ignored what Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi said.
She only spoke to Qingying again, "Empress, the Emperor has already promoted me to a concubine this morning, but he hasn't yet announced it to the other palaces. In terms of rank, I'm no worse than Noble Lady Yi..."
Qingying raised her eyebrows.
Such news has been kept until now.
It turns out that none of them are simple.
In this way, the so-called palace rules of insubordination will no longer exist.
But how could Concubine Hui simply let go of such an opportunity to punish Concubine Jin?
"Without informing the six palaces, this promotion order will not be implemented. You have now committed a serious offense by disobeying your superiors. In my opinion, you are absolutely unworthy of this position of noble."
Although Concubine Hui was surprised by what Concubine Jin said, she sneered and spoke again.
Jin Changzai seemed to have gained some courage.
"Your Highness, I don't care about my rank, but I am also a human being, the Emperor's concubine. I really shouldn't be insulted for no reason."
"I can petition the Emperor on my own and withdraw the decree of promotion, but I beg the Empress to help punish Noble Yi and rectify the palace rules!"
Jin Changzai deliberately turned a blind eye to it many times.
Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly showing anger.
He was just worried about the Queen being here, so he didn't get angry.
The noble lady Yi beside her was stunned for a moment.
The emperor conferred upon her the title of noble lady?
This bitch!
Are you worthy of being on equal footing with me?
However, her thoughts raced, and she spoke again hurriedly, "Even though you sisters don't know anything about this matter, I do have one question to ask. What title has the Emperor bestowed upon you?"
Jin Changzai was stunned when he heard this.
See the title of most levels.
I actually forgot about this!
"The Emperor has not bestowed a title."
Although he said this, he held on and didn't lose any momentum.
"Everyone in the palace knows that the title is half a level higher. Not to mention that the decree of your promotion has not yet been announced to the six palaces, even if it was announced to the sisters, it is not a reason for you to beat me like this."
