When Concubine De of this life realized that she could not save the fetus in her belly, she was planning to use it to deal with Bei Yutang. But before she could succeed, Concubine Liang ruined her plan.
Defei was angry, and she took out all her anger for not being able to keep the child on Liangfei.
"I never even saw the child, and he's gone. My heart aches. The prince must be blaming me for not protecting him. My poor prince." Concubine De cried sadly.
Concubine De looked so pitiful, her eyes tearing up. Even when she was crying, she was still beautiful, not even a bit embarrassed. "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me and for my son."
"Okay, okay. Don't be sad." Nan Shaotian said, looking at Xia Yuwei. Seeing her pale face, he felt a pity in his heart.
Yuwei is a kind-hearted woman and would definitely not do such a thing.
Nan Shaotian believed in his heart that she was innocent, but he still had to save face, otherwise it would be unacceptable.
"Liang Fei, what do you have to say?" Nan Shaotian asked.
Xia Yuwei straightened her back, watching him question her. Her heart ached, and a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "I met Sister Defei in the garden. I accidentally bumped into her by chance, and I didn't know she was pregnant. Regardless, this matter is related to me, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
As she spoke, Xia Yuwei knelt down.
Nan Shaotian felt distressed when he saw her like this. He only then realized that he had not seen her for a long time, and he felt guilty and distressed.
"This time, your mistake was unintentional. I will punish you by making you copy scriptures and grounding you for a month."
When Xia Yuwei heard the punishment, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
She knew that as long as she took the initiative to admit her mistakes, as long as she showed weakness and compromised, Shao Tian would definitely not ignore her. Xia Yuwei's days of depression were largely relieved this time.
When Concubine De heard about this punishment, she was naturally unhappy, "Your Majesty..."
She wanted to say something more, but when she met Nan Shaotian's cold eyes, she was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything more, but a surge of anger surged in her heart.
Why, why should the life of one of her princes be sacrificed, only for this unfavored woman to receive such a light punishment.
Defei was unwilling to accept this, but she did not dare to disobey the emperor, so she could only put the blame on Xia Yuwei.
Both Chenxiao Palace and Jingren Palace received the news immediately. Bei Yutang was not surprised at all when she heard it. On the contrary, Jinchai, Jinzhuo and others were completely confused.
"Your Majesty, do you think the punishment for Concubine Liang is too lenient?"
"Yes, it's too light." Bei Yutang had an unfathomable smile on his lips.
Jingren Palace
Concubine Shu was drinking tea and listening to the reports from her subordinates. Her expression was calm as usual, making it impossible for outsiders to see what she was thinking.
"Your Majesty, isn't the punishment the Emperor has imposed on Concubine Liang a little too light?" The senior palace maid beside Concubine Shu whispered.
"Yeah, it's too light."
There was a strange look in Concubine Shu's eyes.
She had been a little uncertain at first, but now it seemed to be true. Unexpectedly, the first person in the harem to see the situation clearly wasn't her, nor was it Concubine De. It was Concubine Chen, the incompetent Concubine they had always looked down upon.
She had to admit that she had misjudged both Concubine Chen and Concubine Liang.
