"Alright," Xianzong waved his hand impatiently at Gu Xingnuo, "As long as she's not dead, it's ok. Take her to the Huguo Temple."
Gu Xingnuo bowed and accepted the order, and asked the two eunuchs to carry Zhao Yingqin. The four of them left the imperial study and walked towards the palace gate.
Xianzong returned to the imperial study, sat down and thought for a while, then ordered, "Go and call the people in charge of the Ministry of Punishment to come to me."
The chief and deputy eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Punishment quickly ran to the imperial study to see the emperor.
"What did Hua do at the Ministry of Punishment?" Xianzong asked.
The two eunuchs in charge were stunned. When did the emperor ask about the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment?
"I was asking a question, but you two servants didn't hear it?" Emperor Xianzong slammed the imperial desk.
The two eunuchs in charge knelt on the ground and trembled. One of them reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua went to the Ministry of Punishment. Your servant, your servant did not dare to follow her in."
Xianzong looked at the eunuch coldly.
This eunuch was the one who informed Concubine Hua. He was kneeling on the ground with his forehead touching the ground.
"Drag him out and beat him to death," Xianzong ordered.
"Your Majesty?" The eunuch in charge really thought he had heard wrongly.
The palace guards standing on both sides were also stunned, but they quickly came to their senses. Two palace guards stepped forward, dragged the eunuch in charge away.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
The shrill cries for mercy coming from outside the imperial study made the eunuch in charge, who was still kneeling in front of Emperor Xianzong, tremble like a sieve.
"What did Hua do?" Xianzong asked. Do you think he is not in charge? These two are the chief eunuchs of the Ministry of Punishment. I am not with Concubine Hua. There are no subordinates of these two in the Ministry of Punishment? Don't know? You must be kidding!
The eunuch who was still kneeling dared not tell the truth. It was important to please Concubine Hua, but what was the point of pleasing Concubine Hua if he offended the emperor? "Concubine Hua went to see the daughter of the Zhao family," the eunuch told Emperor Xianzong everything, "Concubine Hua used a potion to destroy the face of the daughter of the Zhao family."
"Hmph!" Xianzong slammed the imperial desk.
The eunuch in charge trembled even more violently, with his forehead touching the ground. He wished there was a crack in the ground so that he could crawl into it and hide.
"Girls in the harem," Xianzong asked the eunuch in charge, "When can girls in the harem enter the Ministry of Punishment?"
The eunuch in charge said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is now in charge of the affairs of the harem, so, so this servant let Concubine Hua enter the Ministry of Punishment."
"You still think you're right?" Xianzong slammed the imperial desk again.
"I dare not, I deserve to die!"
"Drag him away!" Xianzong was suddenly furious and ordered loudly: "Since you recognize Hua as your master, I will grant your wish!"
The eunuch in charge heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Emperor Xianzong said. It would be better to be an ordinary eunuch to Concubine Hua than to be a dead person.
Xianzong then said: "Beating him to death!"
Being a slave to Concubine Hua is not related to being executed, right? Most people would not say such incoherent words, but Emperor Xianzong was not an ordinary person. Even though His Majesty the Emperor said so, no one dared to rush up and bite him to death.
Two more palace guards came forward, dragged the eunuch, and walked away with big strides, and they were out of the imperial study within ten steps.
Xianzong was sitting in the imperial study room, furious. Concubine Zhao was a painted skin person. Concubine Hua destroyed Miss Zhao's face? Thinking of Zhao Yingqin's skinless, burnt face, Xianzong realized that this Hua was also a vicious woman!
The eunuchs and palace guards standing in the imperial study were like statues, with their heads lowered, for fear that Emperor Xianzong would feel their presence.
Xianzong looked at the huge imperial study where he was, and felt sad. He had always thought that Zhao was gentle and Hua was the daughter of a general, who was straightforward and honest. Unexpectedly, these two women were not what he thought.
"Seize the Phoenix Seal from Concubine Hua," Xianzong ordered in a cold voice, "Keep her in Xiangyun Palace. Unless there is something wrong, the eldest prince is not allowed to go to Xiangyun Palace."
"I obey your command," a eunuch said in a trembling voice.
"Get out of here!" said Emperor Xianzong.
The people surrounding Emperor Xianzong bowed their heads and retreated.
Not long after, the people waiting outside the imperial study heard loud noises and clanging coming from inside the room. They knew that the emperor was throwing furniture around in the room. However, Jingzhong had already been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, and none of the eunuchs present dared to go in and persuade him to leave.
Xianzong kicked over the imperial desk and sat down on the couch dejectedly. At this time, Xianzong began to miss the queen again. She was his first wife and gave birth to a pair of children for him. He played with flowers and admired all the beauties in the world. He always thought that the woman who followed him at the beginning would always wait behind him and he would see her as soon as he turned around. Su Jian, Xianzong silently recited the queen's maiden name, Jiang Su Jian, and Xianzong suddenly burst into tears. When he missed this woman, he had already died. Where should he go to meet her?
In the Xiangyun Palace, Concubine Hua did not wake up from her daze and screamed until she saw a female official in her palace holding the phoenix seal and handing it to a eunuch in charge of the imperial study.
Hua Fei's scream scared the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict, and he almost dropped the phoenix seal in his hand.
Concubine Hua screamed, "I want to see the emperor!" She had taken the Phoenix Seal from Concubine Zhao, how could she let anyone take it away like that?
The eunuch in charge glanced at Concubine Hua. As a eunuch, he was not allowed to talk much to the empress in the harem. The eunuch in charge carefully held the phoenix seal and turned to walk out of the main hall of the Xiangyun Palace.
"Stop!" Hua Fei shook off the hands that were supporting her, stood up suddenly from the ground, and shouted: "I want to see the emperor! What have I done wrong?" In a desperate situation, Hua Fei finally revealed the temper of a general's daughter. After suffering such a great injustice and humiliation, Hua Fei now wanted to take up a weapon and go to the imperial study to find Xianzong to argue.
The eunuch in charge had to stop again after being called by Concubine Hua. He turned around and said to Concubine Hua, "Your Majesty, I am only following your orders."
"What have I done wrong?!" Hua Fei said angrily.
The eunuch in charge whispered, "Your Majesty, the emperor has just issued an order to execute the chief and deputy chief eunuchs of the Ministry of Punishment."
"What, what?" Hua Fei was stunned again.
"I'll take my leave," the eunuch in charge could not bow to Concubine Hua as he held the phoenix seal in his hand, but his voice was still very respectful.
Concubine Hua fell to the ground. Xianzong had not cared about the affairs of the harem for many years, but this person was meddling in things again today?
"Your Majesty," several palace maids reached out to help Concubine Hua up from the ground.
"Get out of here!" Hua Fei said sternly.
The palace maids did not dare to move forward and could only stand in a circle around Concubine Hua, not too close or too far away.
It must be Gu Xingnuo. Concubine Hua couldn't think of a second enemy. That's great. Concubine Hua laughed out of control in anger. For Yu Ziyi, the Gu family didn't care about anything else. How could an outsider be in charge of the affairs of the harem?
