Chapter 21: Emperor without an heir? The minister's divorced wife



She staggered and tried to move closer to Li Yuanqi, but as soon as she moved, she was held down by the palace servant standing behind her.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to do that. Your Majesty, I just wanted to ask Concubine Zhaoyi something, and I didn't expect it. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"

"When Concubine Zhaoyi wakes up, I will kneel down and pour tea for her to apologize. Your Majesty, I will definitely apologize to Concubine Zhaoyi!"

She begged again and again, thinking that she had been kneeling there for so long that her legs were almost broken, and she didn't know if she could still stand up.

In her opinion, such punishment was harsh enough, and after pouring tea and apologizing, the matter would be over.

But when she looked up, His Majesty was looking at her with a cold look that she had never seen before.

The coldness in his eyes chilled her heart to the bone. She opened her mouth and murmured, "Your Majesty... I didn't mean to..."

Li Yuanqi didn't want to say anything more to her, so he spoke directly in a deep voice, "Wu Baolin committed insubordination and violated etiquette in front of the emperor. He is demoted to a commoner and sent to the laundry bureau. He is not allowed to leave the laundry bureau without an imperial decree."

"Your Majesty!" Wu Baolin looked at Li Yuanqi in disbelief. Seeing the indifference and determination in the man's eyes, she struggled to break free from the palace servant who was controlling her. She endured the severe pain in her knees and crawled forward desperately.

In this situation, she couldn't even care about the severe pain in her knees. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive me this time because I have served you. I really didn't mean it, Your Majesty!"

Li Yuanqi looked away in disgust and slowly raised her hand. Someone immediately covered her mouth and dragged her down.

Baolin, who has an obscure family background, is too inconspicuous to be noticed in the harem.

Even though she used to follow the favored Qian Xiurong, when she saw Li Yuanqi getting angry, Qian Xiurong didn't dare to say a word.

Those who had a good relationship with Wu Baolin in the past quickly distanced themselves from him, fearing that Li Yuanqi would think they were involved in this matter.

However, within just half an hour, everyone in the harem knew that Wu Baolin had offended Concubine Tu with a single word and was demoted to a commoner and sent to the laundry department.

Since ancient times, concubines who made mistakes were usually sent to the cold palace or given the death penalty. For her to be sent to the laundry house to wash clothes, she went from being a high-ranking master to a sinner who washed clothes. It was truly a life worse than death.

Another set of tea sets was broken in Qian Xiurong's palace, and the palace maids and low-ranking talents all knelt on the ground.

"His Majesty dotes on her so much!" Qian Xiurong gnashed her teeth. "It was just one sentence! Just one sentence, and he actually deposed a concubine just because of this one sentence!"

A straightforward beauty who had just entered the palace looked up and whispered, "That wasn't just one sentence. That was one sentence that made me so angry I vomited blood and was unconscious all night."

His Majesty was doting on her at that time, how could he not be angry?

"You!" Qian Xiurong glared at her and raised her hand to throw something, but found that there was nothing to throw at hand. She could only shout, "Get out! Get out of here!"

The beauty immediately stood up and quickly retreated. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from everyone's sight.

No one reacted, and Qian Xiurong, who watched her leave, was stunned for a long time.

When I finally realized what was happening, I was feeling a surge of anger that I couldn't let out.

The nanny beside her could only keep persuading her, "Your Majesty, calm down. Anger is harmful to your health."

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Look at that bitch's attitude!"

"She was a princess sent as tribute by the Kingdom of Qianxiang. It was only after the ministers persuaded His Majesty that he was able to confer the title of Beauty on her.

You know, she's always had a bad temper. She came here these past few days because you helped Lady Lin who lives with her."

But it was just a favor of a few words. The day before yesterday, this beauty had already offered a skin-beautifying recipe. In a sense, it was her queen who got the better of her.

Qian Xiurong did not calm down because of these words. Instead, she became angrier the more she thought about it. With every word the nanny said, she breathed harder.

Finally, she said word by word, "Just wait and see. Sooner or later, these bitches will be skinned alive!"

After Dabao and Tu Qingyu finished watching the live broadcast, Dabao spread his hands and shrugged, "They're all going to be skinned alive."

After saying that, he curled his lips and looked at Jiaojiao and Mengnan who had just been playing wild in the mountains in the space, "Listen, someone wants to skin your master alive."

"Who?!" The muscular man stopped abruptly, staring intently with his small eyes, "I'm going to slap her to pieces!"

"No need." She hugged Jiaojiao and buried her face in her soft belly. After rubbing it for a while, she raised her head. "No need for you. If she dares to attack, we will return her to her original state."

"Okay~" Jiaojiao called out to her in a baby voice, and rubbed her palm with her little head, "Master, when will you hold me again?"

"I'll let Jiaojiao out tomorrow, and the tough guy..." Tu Qingyu thought for a while, "The tough guy will be out for a while, I'll find a chance to go outside, and then bring him out."

"Okay, okay!"

She played in the space until noon when she wanted to eat and then slowly opened her eyes.

What caught her eye was Xiaoqing, who was kneeling at the head of her bed with a look of surprise in her eyes, "Girl! You're awake, girl!"

After saying that, before Tu Qingyu could speak, he hurried out, shouting as he ran, "Help! The queen is awake! Quick, help!"

He happened to run into Li Yuanqi who had just hurried back from discussing something with ministers in the imperial study.

"woke up?"

Xiaoqing knelt down hurriedly, "Awake, Your Majesty, my queen is awake!"

"Someone come!" Li Yuanqi was overjoyed and strode inside while shouting, "Call the imperial physician!"
