One, two... As she caressed them, a blood mark would appear on their cheeks. The long blood mark stretched from the corner of the eye to the edge of the mouth, covering half of their face.
The two people who fainted, even though they were unconscious, frowned tightly because of the stinging pain on their faces.
"Take them both back and put them under house arrest for half a year." Xia Yuwei said coldly.
The people below immediately carried the two back.
"Xia He, give the order. Anyone who dares to look at their injuries will be punished by this palace."
"I understand."
The news that Concubine Liang had dealt with two young concubines in the imperial garden soon spread throughout the harem. More and more people came to curry favor with her, and even Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu sent her gifts.
This signal was clearly a sign of weakness from Concubine Liang. Strangely enough, while everyone else was giving gifts, there was one exception. Concubine Chen remained silent, giving those eager to curry favor with Xia Yuwei cause for criticism.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen is a Concubine after all, but she hasn't expressed anything. How petty!"
"I've heard long ago that Concubine Chen is known to be narrow-minded. Your Majesty, you are now favored by all the six palaces, so you must be careful with her."
"My dear sisters, don't worry. With the Emperor here, who would dare to disrespect the Empress?"
Everyone was talking at once, praising Xia Yuwei to the sky and trampling Bei Yutang into the dust.
Xia Yuwei would smile and say a few words to help Bei Yutang from time to time, and the concubines became even more excited in stepping on Bei Yutang.
Chenxiao Palace
"Your Majesty, I heard that both the Virtuous Consort and the Shu Consort have sent gifts." Jinchai reported the news.
This is to be expected, but the reasons these people gave for giving gifts are really ridiculous.
Calm down!
It was the two little concubines who calmed me down.
"Your Majesty, should we also send it?" Jinchai asked uncertainly.
If the Queen doesn't send it off, there's no telling what they will do to her.
"I won't join in on this fun."
If I send something that's perfectly fine, and it suddenly turns out to be problematic, that would be giving Concubine Liang an opportunity to attack me. As for those rumors, there have been enough of them about the original owner over the years, so this one wouldn't be a big deal.
"Your Majesty, I also heard that Concubine Liang issued a verbal order forbidding any treatment of the two talented women's facial injuries. The people below said that their faces were covered in scratches. If they weren't treated immediately, their faces would be ruined."
"Liang Fei's actions were truly ruthless."
If a woman in the harem loses her beauty, she has no future. A concubine like this will only live a life worse than death in this harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
This would be more painful for them than killing them.
The indifferent Concubine Liang was such a peaceful person. If Nan Shaotian saw this result, I wonder if he would still think that the little white flower he loved was really pure and innocent.
There was a hint of sneer on Bei Yutang's lips.
What a pity, Nan Shaotian can’t see it.
The night was slightly cool, and a figure quietly entered the palace, unnoticed by the guards outside. He quietly entered the palace and walked into the inner hall with a familiarity.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, he smelled that familiar scent. He slowly approached the bed, sat at the head of the bed, and looked at her sleeping face with eyes so gentle that tears could drip from them.
In this palace, things were different from the outside. They couldn't meet during the day, but at night, he couldn't hold back any longer and sneaked in secretly. Just one look was enough for him.
