Chapter 431: It’s not that simple for me to take action
At this time, Consort Kang Wu Wanliang said leisurely, "Your Majesty, Consort Du is truly too vicious and cruel."
“…”
"There can't be such a person in the harem."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please punish this matter severely to serve as a warning to others."
Du Siyao looked at Wu Wan in disbelief: "Empress Kang, you, it was you who made me—"
“Bold!”
Wu Wan interrupted her and said angrily, "Du Siyao, you've been acting recklessly in the palace before. I've let you off the hook because you're young. Now, you're destroying tributes and accusing others, and you still dare to speak nonsense!"
After saying that, he immediately said to his left and right: "Slap me!"
Two maids walked up, grabbed Du Siyao's arms, and slapped her mouth hard.
Suddenly, a series of popping sounds rang out in Chunxi Hall.
Du Siyao still wanted to speak, but she couldn't say anything. After being slapped dozens of times, her mouth and nose were already bleeding, and she fell to the ground dying.
Although Nan Yan felt resentful in her heart, she still couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.
She subconsciously turned her head to the side. Ran Xiaoyu looked at her coldly, not seeming to find it scary at all. She just reached out and put her head on her shoulder.
The two maids saw Du Siyao lying on the ground and reached out to check her breath.
One of them reported back: "Madam, she has fainted."
Xu Miaoyin sat at the table and said calmly, "Concubine Kang, you were quite quick this time."
Wu Wan quickly stood up and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. I really don't want to see such a woman appear in the harem."
“…”
"Please forgive my crime, Your Majesty."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at her for a while, then curled the corners of her lips.
"Whatever," she said calmly, "Anyway, such a person really can't stay in the harem. It's better to deal with it."
“…”
"I also hope that in the future, such things and such people will not appear again."
“…”
"Otherwise, if I were to take action, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple."
For some reason, although she didn't hit anyone or say anything harsh, these few light words made Wu Wan and Gao Yurong break out in cold sweats.
The two people nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Xu Miaoyin then raised her head and ordered, "Take Du Siyao away and lock her up."
"yes."
Several palace maids immediately came forward and dragged the unconscious Du Siyao away, including her maid Xiaozhen, who was also dragged away crying.
Xu Miaoyin looked at Ran Xiaoyu again and said, "Palace maid Ran Xiaoyu, you have committed insubordination and shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately said, "Empress..."
Xu Miaoyin raised her hand to stop her from speaking.
"I have made up my mind. If you say anything more, you will be severely punished."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't dare to speak.
In fact, she and Ran Xiaoyu both knew in their hearts that no matter who was wrong in today's incident, Ran Xiaoyu, as a palace maid, had already broken the palace rules by attacking the selected concubine.
This is the most taboo.
Her Majesty the Queen must punish this matter no matter what.
Ran Xiaoyu knelt down and said softly, "Thank you, Madam."
After saying this, he turned around and followed the nanny out to receive his punishment.
Xu Miaoyin glanced at everyone, sighed softly, and stood up by holding the edge of the table. Everyone hurriedly stood up to see her off.
When they reached the door, Xu Miaoyin stopped and said, "Sinanyan, do you really have a snuff bottle in your hand that is exactly the same as the tribute?"
