"I'm sorry, my beloved concubine. I was wrong again. I've wronged you."
"Summon those two gossiping lowly slaves here immediately. They'll kowtow and apologize to you!"
"Pull out their tongues and use them as a snack with your drinks!"
Mi Shan felt a chill run down her spine.
His eyes flickered.
"Those two people...could they be the two matrons from the examination room?"
"Exactly!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he ordered Xu Ninghai to bring the two old women to him.
Upon seeing the Emperor and Mi Shan, Granny Zhong and Granny Ping couldn't stop kowtowing.
"I was wrong!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"My beloved concubine, the decision on how to handle this is entirely up to you."
"Guards! Slap them!"
A slap rang out.
The two old women were beaten and cried out in despair.
Later, he collapsed to the ground with a swollen face.
He mumbled something incoherently, trying to say he was wronged, but couldn't utter a single word.

The emperor was furious and ordered that the beauty be taken into his arms.
Mi Shan nestled gently into his arms, a dark, cold glint flashing in her eyes.
I watched as the two old women, who were kowtowing incessantly, were dragged away.
She thought to herself, "They must know they've offended her, and they're doomed sooner or later."
Heeding the instigation, she spread rumors outside, hoping to enrage the emperor and have him banish her to the cold palace.
Adultery has always been a serious crime.
Little did they know who was behind it all...
"My beloved concubine, I'm sorry to have frightened you."
"It's alright."
"Your Majesty, didn't you go to visit Consort Qin last night? Why did you end up favoring Consort Murong instead..."
