Chapter 417: By the Emperor's Order, I Come to Deliver the Oral Instructions
East Palace.
After Chief Steward Lin arrived at the Eastern Palace and presented his token, the imperial guards guarding the Eastern Palace quickly opened the door.
"Manager Lin, please."
Chief Steward Lin nodded slightly and entered the East Palace with two palace maids.
At this moment, Xiao Mocheng gathered the women in the backyard in the main hall.
He looked at the women in front of him who had once done everything they could to win his favor but now avoided him, and a bitter smile appeared on his haggard face.
"You didn't expect that I would end up in this situation!"
"Alas... I have never thought of this either." Xiao Mocheng's tone was full of self-mockery.
Ye Youran and the others looked at each other, not understanding why Xiao Mocheng suddenly came looking for them.
Xiao Mocheng exhaled and said bluntly, "I know you all envy the concubines who were dismissed from the palace."
"So, I have already submitted a memorial to the person in the palace."
"As long as he agrees for you to leave the East Palace, you will be free from now on."
"Remember, if you are lucky enough to leave the East Palace, hide your identity... and live a good life."
No one expected Xiao Mocheng to do such a thing.
While I was confused, I was still a little touched.
Seeing that Xiao Mocheng's appearance did not seem fake, they quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "We, the concubines, thank you, Your Highness."
"If we are lucky enough to leave the Eastern Palace, we will hide our identities and live a good life."
At this moment, Ye Youran was extremely happy.
She secretly thought: After leaving the Eastern Palace, I will make other plans with my father...
Ye Youran had no idea that when she returned to the Ye Mansion, Lord and Mrs. Ye immediately arranged a carriage to take her to the farm outside the capital.
Xiao Mocheng exhaled slowly, "Everyone, get up!"
My situation is hopeless, and the only thing I can do for you is this.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone stood up, their faces full of joy.
Tang Shihuan, who was hiding outside the hall, listened to the conversation here and her face turned black with anger.
Why should they leave the East Palace?
I even want to make them slaves!
Thinking of this, Tang Shihuan suppressed the anger in her heart and walked into the hall.
She came to stand in front of Xiao Mocheng and asked with an unhappy look on her face: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Xiao Mocheng's face darkened as he heard Tang Shihuan's questioning tone. "What happened today has nothing to do with you and your daughter."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shihuan immediately understood what Xiao Mocheng meant.
She yelled angrily, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with us, mother and daughter?"
Xiao Mocheng clenched his hands and said coldly, "Huan'er, I have my own reasons for doing this. Don't interfere."
Tang Shihuan sneered and pointed at Ye Youran and the others, "You mean, these bitches can leave the East Palace and find some random men to live their lives."
"I, Tang Shihuan, deserve to stay in the East Palace and suffer with you..."
“Bang!”
After hearing the harsh words, Xiao Mocheng couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped Tang Shihuan.
Tang Shihuan covered her beaten cheek and looked at Xiao Mocheng with hatred.
"For these heartless bitches, you actually hit me..."
In fact, Xiao Mocheng felt a little regretful after the fight.
He suddenly remembered what Xiao Shunzi said before he died...
Now he only has Tang Shihuan and her daughter.
Now that he is in such a miserable state, what right does he have to hit the woman who will spend the rest of his life with him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mocheng stepped forward and said, "Huan'er, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you just now."
"Get out of here." Tang Shihuan pushed Xiao Mocheng away and ran out of the hall crying.
Manager Lin stood not far away, witnessing everything that happened in the hall.
He coughed lightly and walked towards the hall.
Xiao Mocheng heard the noise and looked up...
Manager Lin?
Could it be that Xiao Chengjin agreed?
Steward Lin entered the hall, holding up a golden token, and said, "I, the Steward, have come here on the orders of the Emperor to deliver His Majesty's instructions."
"The deposed Crown Prince and others received the order."
Ye Youran and the others looked at each other and quickly knelt down to receive the order.
Xiao Mocheng lowered his head and slowly knelt down. At the same time, he complained in his heart: If it weren't for these women, I wouldn't kneel down to accept the order.
Manager Lin looked at Xiao Mocheng who was kneeling on the ground and raised his eyebrows.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "The Emperor has ordered that, with the exception of the deposed Crown Prince and his wife and the young princess, all others in the Eastern Palace be released as commoners."
Upon hearing this, Ye Youran and others were secretly delighted.
They kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Manager Lin put away the token and turned to leave the hall.
When he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, he informed the Imperial Guards of the matter and went straight back to the palace.
After Chief Steward Lin and the palace maids left, Ye Youran and the others suppressed their excitement and said to Xiao Mocheng in a pretentious manner, "Your Highness, we are parting today and may never see each other again in this life. Please take care..."
"I hope you take care of yourselves." Xiao Mocheng slowly stood up and returned to his seat.
Ye Youran and others nodded and ran out of the hall impatiently.
Haha, pack up and run.
Xiao Mocheng looked at the backs of Ye Youran and others, revealing a bitter smile.
I had planned so hard to enter the Eastern Palace, but now I can't wait to escape from it.
It is indeed a different time now......
