She actually didn't want the emperor to have his hands stained with too much blood or commit too many serious murders for her.
Because the Queen pleaded for mercy, the guards who were dragging Concubine Xian away hesitated for a moment, waiting for the Emperor's execution.
A glimmer of hope appeared in the virtuous concubine's desperate eyes.
Zhao Xin had no intention of forgiving these people.
Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be punished should be punished.
He not only wanted to settle accounts with the Queen, but also to establish his prestige.
He is the master of this palace, and in the future he will be the true master of the world!
He wants everyone to know that he holds the power over their life and death!
"Yu'er, it's not worth it to have compassion for such a person!"
There was no room for doubt in Zhao Xin's words.

All the eunuchs and palace maids who were brought in were punished accordingly.
Of all the concubines who had come to the banquet, only about thirty were still sitting at the table intact.
None of these concubines had ever targeted the queen, nor had they ever violated palace rules.
Among these people, Zhao Xin selected a few of the most beautiful ones who had not been touched by the tyrant and were loyal to him and kept them.
The rest were stripped of their status and demoted to palace maids.
As for those concubines who committed crimes, they were either banished to the cold palace or exiled to the Taimiao.
After dealing with these people, Zhao Xin stood up and said, "My mother has always been in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. However, she is not in good health now and is no longer able to handle these complicated matters.
From now on, all matters concerning the six palaces will be managed by the Queen!"
