Chapter 2123 Who is the next "Zhao Nanfeng"
Nan Yan said coldly: "Drag him away!"
“…”
"From now on, she is not allowed to serve in the imperial court!"
When the maids heard this, they immediately stepped forward and pulled up Zhao Nanfeng, who had collapsed on the ground in fear. Zhao Nanfeng was terrified and kept struggling and crying, "Your Highness, please spare me, please spare me, Your Highness. I won't dare to do it again."
Everyone around was stunned when they saw this scene.
I forgot to react.
The nanny who had brought them here was also a little uneasy at this time. After thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and said with a smile, "If the Imperial Concubine wants to punish her, why not wait until we report to the Emperor before making any decision?"
Nan Yan gave her a cold look.
"Why, I don't even have the power to deal with a concubine anymore?"
"Of course not."
"Don't forget, I have the power to assist the six palaces. I have the final say on a mere concubine, and that's it!"
After saying that, his eyes froze: “Pull it away!”
Several maids immediately dragged Zhao Nanfeng out of Yiku Palace. Her crying and shouting could be heard along the way, and she kept shouting "spare me", but Nan Yan sat there coldly without even blinking.
The shrill voice gradually faded away.
The Yikun Palace fell into silence again, but this silence was tense and suffocating.
Every concubine standing there was terrified.
They never imagined that just because of a name, the imperial concubine would directly depose Zhao Nanfeng. Zhao Nanfeng had never even seen the emperor once.
This, this is terrible.
Ling Shansi, the youngest, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
The people around also knelt down one after another. No one dared to speak, but just knelt at the feet of the imperial concubine and trembled.
Nan Yan looked back at them, and her heart softened for a moment.
But the "evil man" had already done this, and there was nothing he could do, so he said coldly: "Just now, Concubine Shun has already told you that you must serve the emperor well when you enter the palace. And what I want to tell you is that after entering the palace, it is best for you to behave yourself. If I know that anyone has dirty thoughts in their hearts, or if your family members take advantage of your entry into the palace and act tyrannically outside the palace, tarnishing the reputation of the royal family - you, be careful!"
Everyone trembled and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "We dare not, we dare not."
Nan Yan then said, "Alright, let them leave."
The nanny then led everyone to pay their respects to the concubines, and then carefully lined up to leave the Yiku Palace.
Once they walked out, everyone seemed to have regained their breath and heartbeat.
Ling Shansi and the others were sweating profusely, their clothes soaked through. They gasped for breath and said, "This, this is the Imperial Concubine! This is so terrifying!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect her to be so powerful."
"I heard that Zhao Nanfeng's brother is a fourth-rank official, and he also—"
Yao Ying was a well-informed person, but she was still frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
She coughed with all her might to appear calm, but her pale face betrayed her panic. She said, "I've told you all this, this is the majesty of the Imperial Concubine. Do you believe it now?"
Everyone nodded: "Now we believe it, completely believe it."
"From now on, we must be careful about what we say and do in the palace."
"Yeah, who knows who will be the next 'Zhao Nanfeng'."
The nanny, walking nearby, heard their whispers and said impatiently, "Enough, enough! Isn't this a mess enough? Hurry and go back!"
No one dared to say anything more and hurried towards the East Garden as she urged them to do.
However, the people who stayed in Yikun Palace had not dispersed yet.
After accepting the kowtow from the new concubine, everyone originally planned to stay in the Yiku Palace to drink tea, but after this incident, no one had any interest in drinking tea.
I also feel a little strange.
Although the Imperial Concubine was second only to the Empress in the harem, and the Emperor favored her and gave her the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she did have the ability to deal with any selected concubine, even the imperial concubines.
It's not like she hasn't dealt with others before.
However, this was the first time that an innocent concubine was dealt with out of venting anger.
Could it be that she just wanted to establish her authority and make an example of someone to scare the others, so that these new concubines entering the palace would be intimidated by her majesty and would not dare to compete with her for favor in the future?
Everyone was a little confused.
So for a while, it was difficult to leave and it was difficult to say anything.
It was Xipin Ruanmei who spoke first. She turned to look at the imperial concubine and said, "Isn't it a little inappropriate for your Majesty to do this?"
When she said this, everyone was shocked.
Nan Yan also turned to look at her.
"Um?"
"Even if the name of this selected concubine offends the Empress, just ask her to change it."
“…”
"Why must it be so?"
“…”
"Your Majesty has done this, and the Emperor doesn't even know about it. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be angry if he finds out?"
Although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one expected her to say it directly.
Nan Yan also glanced at her.
But she only smiled faintly and said: "If the emperor is angry, he will naturally blame me, and it has nothing to do with you sisters."
What she said naturally put the responsibility solely on herself.
But when everyone listened, they felt something different.
The emperor's favor towards her was something that people like them would never understand, otherwise, she would not dare to do this.
Wu Wan sneered and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with us. The Imperial Concubine is so majestic, we are just watching. Is there anyone else in this palace who can be as majestic as her?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows and turned to look at her.
"I don't understand what Concubine Hui said."
“…”
"You said that no one else in the palace has such prestige. Then, where do you place the Empress?"
“…”
"Or, in your eyes, there is no Queen anymore?"
Wu Wan was stunned by her words.
She originally intended to satirize Nan Yan, saying that she had gone beyond the Queen's order, but she didn't expect that she would be able to use her words to hold her back.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare I?"
She stood up by holding the armrest of the chair and said, "It's really too hot today. I'm getting a little dizzy from the sun. I'll take my leave."
After saying this, without waiting for Nan Yan's response, he bowed hastily and turned away.
As soon as she left, the other concubines also took their leave one after another.
Only Concubine Shun Xinqing stayed behind, looking at Nan Yan with a smile and saying, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her.
But there was a glimmer of clarity in the latter's eyes.
Although she didn't care much about the affairs of the palace, she had a good relationship with the queen. And according to Zhu Feng, the queen had done something similar before.
I'm afraid she has seen it too.
So she smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sister."
