Concubine Jia did not give up. Instead, she scolded more angrily: "Even if I don't give her a slap, I will punish her. Concubine Sheng, you have made me unhappy. I will punish you to kneel here until dark. What else do you have to say?"

Sheng Xiyan secretly groaned inwardly, knowing she couldn't escape. Bullying the weak was a common practice in the harem, especially when it came from someone as arrogant and domineering as Concubine Jia.

He looked at Lady Min helplessly and said softly, "Sister, go back and tell the palace maids in my palace to take good care of the child. I will be back later."

Lady Min glanced at Concubine Jia timidly, then whispered, "Don't worry, Sister Sheng, I'll be back soon."

"Empress Jia, I'll take my leave." After saying that, she hurried away.

After she left, Hua Xia helped Sheng Xiyan kneel down slowly. Her knees touched the cold and hard bluestone slabs. The biting chill spread from her knees to her heart. This was the second time she knelt on this bluestone road.

Su Yunluan sarcastically said, "Princess Sheng, remember your identity well. If you dare to seduce the emperor again, I will not be so easy to deal with."

At this time, another person came from behind to pick up the concubines. It was Concubine Shu.

The two chariots were lined up together. Concubine Shu glanced at Sheng Xiyan and said with a smile, "Sister Jiafei, I'm going to ask you for a favor and let Concubine Sheng go back and talk to me."

Su Yunluan was still relatively polite to the concubines of the same rank. She recalled the situation that Concubine Liang had introduced to her at Kun Palace last night.

"Sister, you may not know this yet. Concubine Sheng was brought into the palace by Concubine Shu to secure her favor, but she was ungrateful and wanted to go it alone. On Concubine Shu's birthday, Concubine Sheng deliberately intercepted the Emperor, which made Concubine Shu very angry."

Su Yunluan guessed that Concubine Shu hated Sheng Xiyan very much, so she might as well do her a favor and let her deal with Sheng Xiyan.

So, she provoked, "Well, Sister Shufei, you can take the person away, but I see that this little hoof is not a quiet one, so please don't bite me."
