At the end, she added: "I am also following the orders of Concubine Liang. I am just following her orders."
After hearing this, Emperor Mian's face became gloomy, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Concubine Liang's face turned pale. She knew that the emperor was really angry.
But she felt that she had done nothing wrong. Gu Jinqiao was clearly provoking her. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she didn't know how many people in the palace would step on her head and bully her in the future.
But no matter what she thought, she was not stupid enough to confront the emperor head-on.
"Your Majesty, I know you care about Concubine Gu, but I gave her the bracelet the Empress Dowager gave her out of kindness. Unexpectedly, my sister broke it... I have a quick temper, and I lost control when I dealt with Concubine Gu just now. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Emperor Mian's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "You are impatient, so you can go crazy in the palace at will? Concubine Liang, you are becoming more and more outrageous."
Concubine Liang was startled and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I dare not do that."
"Daughter of the august Right Prime Minister, what are you afraid of? Just because of a broken bracelet, you want her to kneel here for two hours. Are you deliberately going against me?"
"emperor......"
Concubine Liang looked aggrieved.
But she couldn't say it.
She knew she was in the wrong, and she was still feeling resentful, so she didn't want to admit that she was wrong.
She thought, since she acted on impulse, the emperor couldn't do anything to her, right?
However, she still underestimated the Emperor's crown.
Emperor Mian continued, "Princess Liang, Princess Liang, it seems I really underestimated your courage. Since you enjoy being punished so much by being kneeled, then you will kneel here all afternoon until sunset. You are not allowed to leave before the time is up!"
Hearing this, Concubine Liang couldn't help but tremble, "Your Majesty..."
She never expected the emperor to be so ruthless.
This is the palace, kneeling for a whole day is no joke.
What will the concubines and palace maids think of her then?
To humiliate her is even more painful than killing her.
Emperor Mian showed impatience and turned to look at Xiao Fuzi behind him.
"Since Concubine Liang's hearing isn't working well, you should go and help her. Let her enjoy herself here."
"yes."
After receiving the order, Xiao Fuzi walked up to Concubine Liang with two guards, grabbed her clothes with one hand and dragged her up.
"Let me go, you lowly slaves, let me go..."
Concubine Liang struggled hard to break free, but Xiao Fuzi held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Xiao Fuzi not only did not let go, but instead gave a look to someone to increase the force a little, pressing her to kneel on the ground.
With a "thump", Concubine Liang fell heavily to the ground. The debris seeped into her knees and the pain made her frown.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me..."
"Do you know you're wrong?"
Emperor Mian sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"I think you are afraid, not really knowing your mistake."
Hearing this, Concubine Liang was terrified and cried out, "Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong..."
Seeing Concubine Liang, who was always arrogant and looked down on others, like this, Gu Xiaoqiao's frustration was immediately relieved a lot.
In this cannibalistic palace, you have to cling to someone powerful. Only by clinging to a strong person can you live a long and stable life.
"Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong..."
Princess Liang continued to cry, but her crying could not move the hard-hearted man in front of her at all.
If she is not punished, it will encourage her arrogance, but if the punishment is too severe, it may discourage the ministers, especially since Concubine Liang's father is the Right Prime Minister.
So, it’s time for Gu Xiaoqiao to appear again.
A considerate concubine should adjust the relationship between the two sides at this time so that both sides can save face.
So Gu Xiaoqiao said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, since Concubine Liang has admitted her mistake, please forgive her this time. The coming and going of people here is really not in line with the dignity of the royal family."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mian glanced at her, his eyes flashing slightly, as if he was a little surprised.
Concubine Liang hated Gu Xiaoqiao's hypocrisy so much that she wanted her to disappear from this world immediately, but she forced herself not to show it.
She knew in her heart that Gu Xiaoqiao was the apple of the emperor's eye. If she continued to make trouble, she would suffer even if she was the daughter of the right prime minister.
So, I can only bear with it for the time being.
Emperor Mian looked at Concubine Liang and impatiently pulled his sleeve out of her hand.
"Since Lady Gu has pleaded for you, I will not pursue the matter this time. If it happens again, I will not forgive you."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Di Mian glanced at her again, then took Gu Xiaoqiao's hand and walked back.
At first, the two walked very slowly because Gu Xiaoqiao's knees hurt a little when he walked.
Later, Emperor Mian simply picked her up by the waist, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Everyone looked at the two of them, their eyes filled with surprise and envy.
After all, in everyone's opinion, they don't think that their emperor would take the initiative to hug a concubine.
But they never expected that Emperor Mian actually carried Concubine Gu and prepared to walk back.
Moreover, the gentle expression on the emperor's face deeply hurt their eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh: Oh my God, the emperor actually dotes on Concubine Gu so much?
When Concubine Ning heard the news, she gritted her teeth in jealousy, her face full of resentment.
She never imagined that in just over a month, the emperor would favor Gu to such an extent.
If this continues, how will she cope with it?
