Since there was no one causing trouble, Lu Jinxin was quickly sent away.
But the truth will eventually come out.
The next day, the news of Lu Jinxin's disappearance spread throughout the palace, and chaos broke out inside and outside the palace.
When Murong Hong heard the news, he was furious and immediately sealed off the palace.
Because Concubine Xian and Lu Jinxin had swapped identities, they had created a confusing situation. They thought Lu Jinxin was hiding somewhere, but in fact, Lu Jinxin had already been taken away from the imperial city and escorted to Baizhou, the hometown of Concubine Rong.
...
When Murong Hong broke into Kunning Palace, Su Man was having breakfast.
"Is it you!" he shouted angrily.
Su Man put down the porridge and wiped her mouth slowly and methodically. "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb for me!"
Murong Hong pointed at Su Man's nose and cursed, "You are the head of the harem. Without your permission, how could someone take someone away right under your nose! How could Lu Jinxin disappear out of thin air!"
Now that the relationship had broken down, Su Man stopped pretending. The smile on her lips was sarcastic, "Haha, then according to what the emperor said, the emperor is the master of the world. Without your order, how could I, a concubine, turn into a living person under your nose?"
“…”
Murong Hong stared at Su Man, feeling that she looked more unfamiliar than ever before.
All the recent events connected in his mind one by one.
He felt a chill down his spine. It turned out to be her. It was actually her.
Murong Hong, having figured everything out, gnashed his teeth and said, "Well, after a lifetime of hunting eagles, I finally got my eyes pecked out by a sparrow. Queen, you have interfered in government affairs without authorization and disrupted my former court and harem. You deserve death!"
"Come here! Drag the Queen out and banish her to the cold palace to await her fate!"
Su Man shook off the eunuch's hand and said, "I can walk on my own."
When Su Man left Kunning Palace, she saw a group of concubines kneeling outside the door.
They were all dressed in white, without any decoration on their heads.
Seeing this, Murong Hong was so angry that his hands were shaking as he pointed at them, "You, you..."
There is no national mourning at the moment, and the concubines are wearing plain clothes, which is a curse on him.
The leading Concubine Li said loudly, "If the Emperor wants to banish the Empress to the cold palace, then you should banish me as well."
"Your Majesty, please banish me to the cold palace as well." Rong Fei continued.
Then it was Concubine Xian who said, "Your Majesty, please banish me to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty, please banish me to the cold palace."
Sound after sound, sentence after sentence, finally converged into one sentence.
"I, the concubine, shall live and die with the Queen."
...
Some of them were imperial concubines, some were noble ladies, and some were concubines.
Although they came from different backgrounds, they all had one thing in common: they were trapped in this imperial city in their prime years because of fame and status.
Originally, they thought that they would spend their whole lives in intrigue and calculation.
I work hard every day until my lamp runs out of oil.
Suddenly one day, someone tore open the gray sky, letting the sunlight in. It also made them realize that they could have another way to live.
The Queen spread her wings, giving them a stable life and allowing their withered hearts to grow green branches again.
Now, it's their turn to protect her.
Even if they committed heinous crimes or were banished to the cold palace, they would still stand by the queen.
...
Although the concubines' voices were not as loud as men's, they were firm and powerful.
Murong Hong was shocked. He turned to Su Man, with anger and deep fear in his eyes.
Why, why can she manipulate people's hearts so easily? What kind of magic does she have that makes these people risk their lives for her?
Su Man saw Murong Hong's fear, but she remained calm and walked to the head of the concubines, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The concubines said: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
Murong Hong took two steps back, his face gradually twisted. "You! How dare you disobey me! All of you be thrown into the cold palace!"
"all?"
Even the old eunuch beside Murong Hong was confused. "Your Majesty, do you mean to lock up all these ladies? Your Majesty, please think twice."
Murong Hong was completely irrational at this moment. He yelled, "Lock them up! Lock them all up!"
He was really too scared. He was afraid that these people who had once been his bedmates would do something bad to him, and he was even more afraid that they would shake his throne.
No, anyone who dares to shake his throne must die!
-
The cold palace has become more popular due to the arrival of the concubines.
"Oh, I thought the cold palace was so scary, but now it seems it's just a little broken."
Concubine Song walked around like she was on a trip.
Su Man, who was following behind her, laughed and said, "The concubines are afraid of the cold palace, not because they are afraid of the place, but because they are afraid that they will lose everything after arriving in the cold palace."
Xian Fei had been gloomy since she arrived. She sighed, "You are all imprisoned here because of me."
Concubine Li patted her on the back in a righteous manner. "Ah, we are all family, so don't be so polite. Besides, if I have to face the face of that dog emperor outside, I would rather stay in the cold palace."
"Yes, yes. It's much better here than facing the sarcastic emperor."
"Ah, it would be wonderful to be able to keep my sisters company every day without having to get up early."
...
Seeing everyone's calm expressions, Concubine Xian felt relieved.
"In that case, let me clean the room later, and let me do my best for my sisters."
