The Emperor's words were actually a way of giving Consort Li some face.

To put it bluntly, the reason Consort Li's father dared to do such a thing was because he saw his daughter's current status.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please, I really know I was wrong."

I will never dare to do it again. I will reflect on my actions in my own palace and not cause any more trouble.

"What are you people doing? Take her away!"

Consort Li was eventually taken to the Cold Palace.

Several maids threw her directly into the Cold Palace, leaving Consort Li in a desolate courtyard.

Two quilts and a few tattered clothes were scattered on the ground.

That's all, and it was only because that old woman was so kind that she gave it to me!

Just then, several crazy women ran out of the room.

"I think this new maid is quite pretty. Quickly fetch me some water to wash my feet. I want to soak my feet."

Oh, and you'd better give me a good massage.

"I'm feeling quite tired from serving His Majesty so much."

The person speaking in front of me was a woman in her thirties. Her hair was messy and her clothes were loose and baggy.

He even touched the non-existent top of his head between sentences.

Nowadays, there are no gold hairpins or hair ornaments on her head; instead, her hair is just a messy, loose drape.

Consort Li took a step back as she looked at the woman in front of her.

Just then, the madwoman suddenly saw that the person in front of her, whom she thought was a little maid, was actually wearing her clothes.

"How could an ordinary maid like you dare to wear such gorgeous clothes?"

This is outrageous! Men, strip her naked and throw her out!

The woman called out several times but no one answered, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Beside them were two even older nannies.

Looking at the woman in front of him, he sighed softly, shook his head, and turned to go back into the house.

Consort Li followed the two elderly nannies into the room.

But he was a little puzzled, since this should be the Cold Palace.

The people living there were naturally women who were rejected by the emperor, so how could there be two such large nannies among them?

After entering the room and sitting on the wooden plank, Consort Li asked, "May I ask who you two are? What brings you to this Cold Palace?"

One of them, who looked quite large, said, "Those who can stay in the Cold Palace are naturally the emperor's women, of course."

It's not just the current emperor; it could also be a previous emperor.

Upon hearing this, Consort Li immediately understood that the two older women in front of her must be the late emperor's concubines.

Looking at the two of them, besides their wrinkled faces and white hair, all that remained were their emaciated skeletons.

My heart was immediately filled with fear of this cold palace.

On the way, Consort Li was still thinking that one day the Emperor would remember her kindness and would surely let her go back.

Thinking that the Empress was pregnant again, he was naturally happy, but he was definitely angry because of the big trouble he had caused.

Once the emperor's anger subsides, he will naturally have someone release him.

Looking at these crazy women now, I felt uneasy.

The old concubine looked at the woman before her and sighed softly.

"This Cold Palace has never existed before, and people who enter the Cold Palace can still leave."

"They won't be able to enter this cold palace now, and they won't be able to in the future either; they must have been completely rejected by the Emperor."

Although Consort Li thought the same way, she suddenly heard it from someone else and realized that it wasn't the case at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Emperor also dotes on me. It's just that I did make a mistake."

I'm sure the Emperor will release me once his anger subsides.

Another elderly concubine sighed and then said, "Everyone who has entered this cold palace says the same thing."

But from the concubines of the previous dynasty to the present, no one has ever been heard of being able to leave this cold palace after entering it.

You should just stay here and not think about anything else.

"Just spend the rest of your days in this cold palace in peace!"

Consort Li snorted coldly: "I am different from you. I am the exception."

Back then, the Emperor took a liking to me at first sight and made a vow of eternal love.

They said that even if they couldn't make me empress, I would still be the only one in the harem to receive such a title. I was the most favored person besides the empress.

The Emperor must be angry this time and has some misunderstandings about me. We'll see after the Empress gives birth.

They will definitely resolve all these matters, and then they will welcome me back from the cold palace in great style.

The two elderly concubines fell silent. They had been waiting for this day since the previous generation, until the old emperor passed away.

No, I waited for the day I longed for.

Which of the concubines who were later banished to the cold palace didn't say the same thing, claiming they were the exception?

They said the emperor was just angry and would remember them one day.

In the end, they still eke out a living in this dilapidated, desolate palace.

Seeing that the two people in front of her had stopped talking, Consort Li felt a surge of joy.

The fact that these people are silent indicates that they are not favored by the government.

Yes, not everyone in the harem is favored.

The crazy woman who had already gone back to her room was now grabbing and tearing at Li Fei's clothes.

"You vile woman, give me back my fine clothes."

Don't think that just because the emperor has favored you for a day or two, you can take yourself too seriously.

Let me tell you, I am pregnant with the Emperor's child.

"If you treat me badly, I'll complain to the Emperor, and you'll be in for it, hmph."

Soon after, the woman stopped tearing at Consort Li's clothes and began to gently soothe her by holding a pillow in her arms.

"My dear child, don't cry, don't cry, Mommy's here!"

Consort Li looked at the madwoman in front of her, somewhat confused by the scene.

She doesn't look very old, but that's how she looks now.

The old concubine who spoke first sighed.

"She is also a woman who has suffered a lot. In her early years, she was often looked down upon because of her low status."

Later, he used all his skills and finally won over the emperor's heart, and his parents' official positions also rose steadily.

The only pity is that he was not low-key and actually showed off to the late empress and the concubines.

But Emperor Xian liked his playful and cute appearance, which was different from the other concubines in the harem.

She later became pregnant and was even promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.

It's a pity that the child was only a little over a year old when he was killed by a villain.

So the child was born a big, chubby baby. I went to see him twice; he was being raised very well.

Consort Li listened from the side, but her brows were furrowed.

I don't know whether to pity others or pity myself, since I'm now penniless.
