Jin Yu couldn't explain herself. She was told to kneel down, so she did. There were no excuses. Being a person from the South was her biggest mistake.
But she dared not say it, for if she set rules for the people in the palace without reason, it would be disrespectful to the emperor.
But the words were already out of her mouth, and her remaining rationality prevented her from uttering another word.
"Chen Shu, please ask these two to leave. Go back and tell their families that I have crossed out their names and that they do not need to come to the palace again."
"They don't even know the basic rules, and they're always trying to teach this person or that person a lesson on my behalf. I can't handle that."
Everyone gasped in shock.
How could they have imagined that today's events would lead to such serious consequences?
Eunuch Chen had no choice but to say, "Yes."
What did those two young ladies hear as they lay paralyzed on the ground?
Their names were actually crossed out by the Emperor!
What about all that planning and anticipation during that time?
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
At this moment, they finally regretted it.
"Go back and talk to your father, ask him what kind of people I hate most. If you were given the chance to enter my palace, would my harem still be peaceful, given your arrogant and domineering behavior in my palace?"
The young lady named Shu Qing immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I didn't say a word, please forgive me!"
Incredulity appeared in the eyes of the girl named Jinyu. The two had entered the palace together and were close friends, so their relationship was naturally very good.
But when disaster struck, they all went their separate ways?
"You haven't said a word, but you've been condoning your sisters' evil deeds, so you're no better! I don't want arrogant and domineering people, nor do I want people who stab me in the back. Guards, drag them out."
At the emperor's word, someone immediately gagged the two women, ignoring their cries, and dragged them away.
The palace servants nearby were so frightened that they dared not utter a word. The emperor's wrath could cause the deaths of millions, and they were afraid of being implicated.
"You may all leave now."
Other palace servants, if granted a general amnesty, should immediately withdraw.
“Princess of the Southern Kingdom, come in with me. I would like to ask you what your views are on the etiquette of the Zhao Kingdom.”
His tone was still very cold, and the palace servants thought that this princess from the Southern Kingdom would not benefit from this ordeal.
But that's her fate; she was sent in as a disgrace.
When Jiang Tian and Xuan Yuan Ye entered the palace, Jiang Tian finally couldn't stand anymore. Her legs went weak, and Xuan Yuan Ye quickly supported her.
His tone was filled with anxiety: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Tian managed a weak smile: "Your Majesty, I'm on my period, and I really have no strength left."
Hearing her say that, Xuan Yuan Ye's face tightened even more. She was on her period and was still being harassed by those two people. She had just been acting perfectly composed; he must have been incredibly patient...
He didn't say anything, but picked up Jiang Tian and put her on the bed.
"You should take a break."
Jiang Tian strained to open her eyes and looked at him: "You should go back. This place is not suitable for you, at least not during the day."
She was so thoughtful, but she didn't consider her own health.
Xuanyuan Ye's lips pursed into a straight line.
But he had to admit that Jiang Tian was right; he couldn't stay there any longer, or more rumors would spread in the palace.
He hesitated briefly, gave an order, and soon another person of similar build walked out.
This is his stand-in, and he rarely needs to use it on a daily basis.
For Jiang Tian's sake, Xuan Yuan Ye called him out.
Eunuch Chen followed closely behind him, and at the same time announced the punishment for Jiang Tian: confined to her quarters for three months and forbidden from going out.
This princess from the Southern Kingdom usually lived a secluded life, and very few people had ever seen her.
No one was surprised by the Emperor's punishment of her; even if she had died in the palace, few people would have thought much of it.
The news of the two young ladies being expelled from the palace today quickly spread throughout the entire palace.
But no one would attribute this to the Southern Kingdom princess.
The emperor was always ruthless and incorruptible. He hated it when people deceived him or others and even more so when they abused their power.
Those who are arrogant and domineering, and those who maliciously trample on the common people, are sentenced to death by slow slicing in the most serious cases.
Those two young ladies must have been spoiled at home for too long, forgetting how many dangers lurked in the deep palace, and thus fell into a trap.
For this reason, the banquet for young ladies was cancelled halfway through.
The Emperor issued a special order instructing all ministers to properly train their daughters before sending them to the palace.
If we send someone who doesn't know the rules, it won't be as simple as just sending them back.
For a time, the homes of the various ministers were filled with a cold and solemn atmosphere.
Daughters enter the palace to gain glory, and the fathers of those two daughters will definitely be implicated and punished.
This is a losing proposition.
After Xuanyuan Ye sent his double away, he instructed someone to summon Liu Wensheng.
Liu Wensheng had been following Xuan Yuan Ye for a long time. He was smart and quick-witted, and Xuan Yuan Ye was used to seeking him out.
Liu Wensheng carried his medicine box and checked Jiang Tian's pulse, his brows furrowed deeply.
After the two went outside, Liu Wensheng spoke up: "Your Majesty, this young lady is too weak. Not long ago, you asked me to prescribe some medicine to nourish her body, but that medicine is not as strong as the contraceptive decoction. This time, she was in excruciating pain during her period, which is probably related to those contraceptive decoctions."
Xuanyuan Ye's expression was cold: "Then what do you mean? Didn't I tell you to use the least harmful medicine?"
