Chapter 9 He Who Had a Mind to Beat His Dog Would Easily Find His Stick

The weather in June was very scorching heat, but the hall in Yixin Chamber was full of chill.

A group of women in the hall, whether they were middle-aged or young, were all well-dressed and wearing pearls. Obviously, they were people with status and background. At the moment, they were all looking at Murong Qiqi, who dressed in messy clothes and stood in the middle of the hall with a kind of contempt and disgust.

Among them, some people's eyes were full of resentment, some were sharp, some were proud, while the rest were full of disgust.

Even maids of honour and the eunuchs who stood by showed a distant attitude of retreat when looking at her, as if she were a cancer, whoever approached her would be cursed by posterity.

"Kneel!" A dignified voice sounded, and the voice also contained sternness that could not be resisted by anyone.

Murong Qiqi raised her head, her eyes swept from the old nanny, and saw the sharp and disgusting eyes of Imperial Concubine Yi. She didn't kneel as she was told, just leaned over and saluted, "See her Imperial Concubine Yi."

Imperial Concubine Yi was the mother of Prince Yun and she ranked fourth in imperial harem.

There were many beautiful concubines in imperial harem for the Emperor of Kingdom Chu, but there were few concubines with famous names, including Imperial Concubine Hua, Imperial Concubine Jin, and the Imperial Concubine Yi.

Of course, the most powerful woman in the harem was the Empress Dowager.

The position of empress had been vacant for many years, and several imperial concubines with strong background had been fighting for many years. However, the emperor seemed to think that these things have nothing to do with him. He had just watched the bloody battle in the harem coldly and had never intervened.

As for the vacant position of empress, the emperor had not mentioned that other concubines would be appointed empress for so many years.

As a result, these women were still fighting to the death for the position, while the man whom they had repeatedly fought for never put his heart on any one of them.

Being the concubine for such man was a tragedy. But in Murong Qiqi' s view, although they looked very glamorous on the surface, they were just a group of poor people.

Even if they were very poor, but they could easily crush her like a worm at this time!

"How dare you, Murong Qiqi. You came to see Imperial Concubine Yi as a sinner. How dare you not kneel immediately and kowtow and plead guilty! " Nanny Xu, who was standing beside Imperial Concubine Yi, spoke again.

Qiqi just had to look at her and raised her graceful arched eyebrows, said in a tone neither servile nor overbearing, "Nanny, what crime did I commit?"

"You stole the Blue Sea Cloud Pearl of Third Prince, how dare you not confess!" Nanny Xu was full of strength when she spoke. Every word she said sounded like louder than words, which was sonorous and forceful.

She gave the crowd a cold look. Third Princess Chu Mingzhu and her brother with blood relations Chu Liuyun sat together, because the rules of the Chu Royal Family were different from those of other kingdoms. The ranking of the prince was different from that of the princess and the ranking of the princess was independent.

Therefore, Chu Mingzhu was called as the Third Princess, she was only 17 years old, six years younger than Chu Liuyun, who was the Sixth Prince.

Chu Mingzhu angrily suddenly stood up after finding Murong Qiqi still didn't have the slightest intention of confessing. She held out her fine fingers and pointed at Qiqi' s small face, which was like scrawl handwriting, and said angrily.

"Yesterday, you found a reason to visit my Mingzhu Chamber, and you secretly stole my Blue Sea Cloud Pearl. When I found out, Cloud Pearl had already been stolen by you! Cloud Pearl was given to me by my father emperor. In the whole court, I am the only one who owns it, and how dare you steal it! Give me back Cloud Pearl quickly, otherwise, I will definitely ask my mother order someone to beat you to death on the spot by a wooden stick! "

Beat people to death by wooden sticks again! In the view of these ancient masters, human life was really worthless.

Murong Qiqi was not frightened by her threats. She remained calm and easy in her eyes. She said indifferently, "Princess, you said I stole your Blue Sea Cloud Pearl. Do you have any evidence? "

In the harem, the crime of theft was enough to ruin a person's life. She went to Mingzhu Chamber yesterday, and it was indeed Chu Mingzhu who invite her there, because Chu Mingzhu said it would widen her vision. But the so-called theft simply did not exist.

Wasn't it rare that he who had a mind to beat his dog would easily find his stick in the harem?
