Chapter 224 The Legend of Zhen Huan, Guarjia Wenyuan 23

Consort Xin subconsciously touched her abdomen, her expression saddened as she thought of the child she had miscarried after the Emperor ascended the throne.

"Will these things be found out?" Consort Xin had a feeling that Guarjia Wenyuan would not tolerate what the Empress had done.

"Yes, it will." Guarjia Wenyuan chuckled and said confidently, "It definitely will."

Jiang Fuhai revealed that the death of Empress Chun Yuan and the loss of children by her concubines were all the work of the Empress.

In Cining Palace, Aunt Zhuxi heard about the Empress's affair and took out the Empress Dowager's edict to go to Yangxin Hall to find the Emperor.

Before he could even leave the house, the imperial edict in his hand spontaneously combusted without leaving a trace, as if it had never existed in the world.

The tray in her hand clattered to the ground, and Aunt Zhuxi was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

"It's divine retribution! This is absolutely divine retribution! Your Majesty, I am powerless. The Empress's deposition is the will of Heaven, and I cannot stop it."

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Empress Ulanara, unblemished by Heaven's will, is all show and no substance, has harmed the imperial heir, and has instigated factions in the court. How can she be worthy of respecting the ancestral temple and serving as a model for the nation? She is hereby deposed and reduced to a commoner, and placed in the cold palace. This is the imperial decree!"

With an imperial edict deposing her, Ulanara Yixiu was no longer the empress, but a commoner in the cold palace.

Afterwards, the Emperor, citing the lack of a master in the harem, promoted Guarjia Wenyuan to Imperial Noble Consort, granting her the Phoenix Seal and making her the head of the six palaces.

At the same time, the six palaces were greatly honored, and Consort Qi was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort Qi because of the poisoning incident by the Empress.

The poison that Consort Qi had been poisoned by was cleared thanks to the efforts of Imperial Physician Xu, but she became weak and sickly, and had to take medicine every day.

Consort Jing was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort Jing, and the Emperor granted her the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Consort Yu was promoted to Imperial Concubine Yu because of the Fifth Prince, Noble Lady Xin was promoted to Consort Xin because of her seniority and moved to Qixiang Palace, and Consort Kang was promoted to Noble Lady Kang.

Consort Duan was more senior than Consort Jing, but because there were only two people and Zhen Huan in the position of Consort, Consort Duan was not promoted.

Princess Longyue's true mother is Zhen Huan, and this will not change even if the imperial genealogy is altered. However, Consort Duan is not very concerned that she was not involved in this promotion.

On the contrary, he is happy every day, as if he is completely content with having a daughter.

Consort Zhen had no children and was not favored by the emperor, so the emperor naturally did not promote her rank. However, Consort Hui's daughter, Princess Jinghe, was currently being raised in her palace.

Consort Ning was once very favored, but the Emperor knew that Consort Ning had been saved by Prince Guo. With the example of Zhen Huan, he also suspected that she liked Prince Guo in the same way.

Although there was no evidence, the emperor still ignored her and did not promote her.

Chuxiu Palace —

Guarjia Wenyuan sat upright, smiling as she looked at the concubines. "Today, I would like to introduce two new ladies to you all."

"Was she a palace maid who served in the Yangxin Hall's inner chambers?" Consort Duan asked, but she was quite certain in her heart.

The Emperor intends to hold a general election, but the election is still in the planning stages, and apart from palace maids, there are no other new people to be recruited.

“That’s right.” Guarjia Wenyuan nodded.

"You mean this Consort Ning... no, Consort Ye, how could she be so audacious? She actually dared to assassinate the Emperor, and caused us to be unable to see the Emperor for two months."

Consort Kang frowned and complained.

More than two months ago, Consort Ning lowered her status and began to compete for the Emperor's favor. The Emperor probably found it novel and began to favor her again.

As a result, she actually found an opportunity to assassinate the emperor, causing him to not enter the harem for two months.

"Alright, His Majesty said we mustn't mention it again," Guarjia Wenyuan reprimanded sternly.

For an emperor, it would be a loss of face if his concubines were to assassinate him for another man.

First it was Zhen Huan, then Ye Lanyi. The Emperor was furious, so how could he allow others to talk about it?
