"That's enough."
Murong Hong's face was gloomy. "Dongmei was disrespectful to the Queen and was beaten to death. Concubine Shu was not strict with her subordinates and she is under house arrest for three months."
The well-trained palace maids carried Dongmei out one by one.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please save me, Your Majesty, please save me..."
Dongmei's pleading became increasingly distant until it disappeared.
Su Man had long guessed that Murong Hong would not severely punish Concubine Shu. She bowed and said, "Sister Li has been wronged innocently. Please restore the emperor to his position."
Murong Hong glanced at Concubine Li. Although she had become increasingly reckless and annoying recently, it was not her who did this after all.
He softened his tone, "Of course, Li'er will be reinstated as a noble concubine and awarded half a year's salary."
When Concubine Li heard the news, she turned her head slowly, as if she didn't hear what they said.
Su Man came to the rescue and said, "Sister Li, the emperor has already restored your position, why don't you thank him quickly?"
Concubine Li got down from her chair and bowed slowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the dust settled, Murong Hong instructed Su Man to appease the harem, and then left with Shu Guiren.
However, when they left, Murong Hong walked in front with big strides, while Shu Guiren followed behind with a jog.
-
The palace maids were all cleaning up outside, and Su Man took Concubine Li to the bedroom.
"Go, make a cup of ginseng tea for Lady Li."
"No need." Concubine Li waved her hand.
Concubine Li has always been bold and bright. This is the first time Su Man has seen her so distraught.
Su Man turned around and ordered, "Everyone go down."
When the bedroom was empty, Su Man sighed, "You really like the emperor, right?"
Concubine Li's eyes were red. "Everyone says the emperor is ruthless, but I think he is still somewhat sincere towards me after all."
“…”
Concubine Li entered the palace at a young age and was so beautiful that Murong Hong made her a concubine after meeting her only once.
He held her hand and said, "Your beauty's charming smile is like flowing water, and your graceful figure dances gracefully. From now on, you will be Concubine Li, my most beloved Concubine Li."
Although Murong Hong was busy with government affairs, he always found time to spend with her. He always said that she was like the rising sun, brilliant and dazzling.
A young king, sweet words of love, the highest honor, every woman would think that she is the exception.
Guman is, and so is Li Fei.
"I'm such a fool."
Concubine Li covered her face and burst into tears.
Su Man patted her back gently and said, "Cry, just think of it as a beautiful dream."
