The room fell silent again. Just then, someone came in to report to Yu Jingchen that Min Jieyu had been kneeling in the Imperial Garden and had fainted. After all, it had been a whole night.
"Strip him of his title, demote him to a lowly concubine, make him kneel until tomorrow morning, and if he faints, he will be demoted one rank." Yu Jingchen always did whatever he pleased with these things.
Nan Zhiyun was not surprised. Although Min Jieyu was the previous concubine... now she should be called Liu Cairen. Although Liu Cairen was favored before, everyone knew that Yu Jingchen would never really care about anyone and it was all just for show.
Of course, at this time, Nan Zhiyun did not know why Liu Cairen was punished. She only assumed that Liu Cairen had displeased Yu Jingchen.
"If things get better later, let's move to He'an Palace," Yu Jingchen added.
Nan Zhiyun was a little confused. Move to He'an Palace?
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Actually, He'an Palace was originally Nan Zhiyun's palace. At that time, Nan Zhiyun had just entered the palace and was one of the four consorts, the Consort Shu. Everyone thought she would become the future empress, after all, her family background was the best among all the concubines in the harem, and she also had the Empress Dowager's support. But unexpectedly...
"This concubine dares not," Nan Zhiyun replied.
"Why are you scared again? What else would you dare to do? You've been burning up all night, have you really gone crazy from the fever?" Yu Jingchen was not satisfied.
Nan Zhiyun did not answer, not because she did not want to speak, but because she did not know what to say and dared not speak carelessly.
"Fine, do whatever you want. I don't care. Go if you want, don't go if you don't." Yu Jingchen really felt that his patience had run out.
"Since you're injured, stay here and recover. Don't go out unless necessary. Xinglai, give the order that no one from the inner palace is allowed to set foot in Yajing Residence for the next few days," Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun's face remained expressionless, but she couldn't hide her inner sorrow. To her, these words meant confinement. And not only her, but everyone else in the palace thought the same.
Yu Jingchen did not stay any longer. When he left, he saw Consort Xu kneeling in the courtyard, who was formerly Consort De, and he felt furious.
The anger he had been holding back was released without a trace when he saw Xu Jieyu.
"Since you are no longer Consort De, this attire is inappropriate. Remove everything that does not conform to etiquette, including your palace robes. Then kneel at the entrance of Yajing Residence. I have said that no one in the harem is allowed to set foot here." Yu Jingchen showed no respect whatsoever. Who could accept being treated like this in public? But what could they do if they couldn't accept it?
In just one day, Yu Jingchen dealt with quite a few people, including two of his concubines. One was a former favorite, and the other was one of the four concubines. Most importantly, it seems that both of them were related to Nan Zhiyun, which is something that has never happened before.
Inside the elegant residence, Qianxia recounted everything Yujingchen had done the previous day, leaving Nan Zhiyun somewhat incredulous. However, she didn't refute her, simply assuming that Qianxia was embellishing things to comfort herself.
For several days in a row, Yu Jingchen did not go to Ya Jing Residence again, nor did he ask her anything. Because after returning from Ya Jing Residence that day, Yu Jingchen noticed that she was different.
Regardless of what others thought, he only considered it as the reason why Nan Zhiyun had blocked the sword in his previous life, and that he felt some guilt towards the Nan family in his previous life, so he no longer had the same aversion to Nan Zhiyun.
That's all!
