Chapter 473: Fox Exploits the Tiger’s Might

This beautiful lady was trying to praise the fox for being beautiful, but she made the bad choice of using her wardrobe’s fur clothing as a comparison. Not all the consorts and concubines in the inner palace were people with deep schemes. There were also some sweet and naive ones mixed in.

The moment the little fox heard her talk about fur clothing, her fur rose on end and she barked sharply at the beautiful lady. Huo Qing glanced coldly at Beautiful Lady Lin, then stroked the little fox to comfort her. “Don’t worry, we’re here. No one would dare to do anything to you.”

When the consorts and concubines saw how gentle Huo Qing was being, they were all taken aback. They had never seen him like this. He was gentle enough to make a person’s heart melt, but this gentleness was actually directed towards an animal.

They were envious to the point their hearts itched.

After Huo Qing promised this, the little fox lifted her chin haughtily. However, she still felt angry, so she jumped onto Beautiful Lady Lin and used her claws to mess up her hair.

Beautiful Lady Lin shrieked, looking completely wretched. The little fox was delighted. Look, she was always pretending to be so lovely, but now her true nature was showing through. Humph, what a bad woman! She even wanted her fur! It was seriously malicious! And her goal was obvious, she just wanted to fight for favor!

The little fox lifted her claw and scratched Beautiful Lady Lin’s face. Several bloody lines immediately appeared on Beautiful Lady Lin’s face.

Beautiful Lady Lin fell to the ground in pain and covered her face, but blood streamed out through the gaps between her fingers. “My face! My face…”

Ning Shu stood up to call for an imperial physician, but Huo Qing spoke first. “Beautiful Lady Lin has displayed failure of etiquette in the palace and is demoted to the lateral courts.”

It was just a beautiful lady, so Huo Qing wasn’t concern
