What nonsense was she just talking about?
Emperor Rongsheng looked at her coldly, "You dare to speak so recklessly in front of me. Wouldn't you be even more unscrupulous when I can't see you?"
An Yang knelt on the ground, trembling.
She didn't know why she had lost all reason just now.
She glared fiercely at Jiang Chuwei.
It must have been her doing.
"Princess Anyang has behaved inappropriately. From this day forward, Princess Anyang is demoted to a commoner and expelled from the princess's residence." The emperor spoke slowly, word by word.
An Yang crawled to Emperor Rong Sheng's feet, weeping bitterly: "Father! Your son was wrong! I beg you, Father, have mercy!"
Consort Zheng quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, but she was not pleading for An Yang.
She knew the Emperor's temperament.
Today, Anyang has touched the emperor's sore spot.
It was common knowledge that the Emperor was wary of the General's Mansion.
The emperor, however, was obsessed with his reputation.
What he does is one thing, but others can't say it.
Someone as stupid as An Yang actually courted death at the Emperor's birthday banquet. Wasn't that tantamount to the Emperor ordering his death?
Anyang kept begging for mercy.
Emperor Rongsheng remained unmoved, glancing at Anyang with annoyance before turning his gaze to Consort Zheng. "Consort Zheng has failed in her duties; her jurisdiction over the harem is hereby revoked. From now on, the harem shall be managed by Consort Mei."
"Your Majesty!" Consort Zheng exclaimed in disbelief.
Because of this, they actually took back her power in the harem.
In front of so many noblewomen from both inside and outside the capital, the emperor was showing her no respect whatsoever.
After speaking, the emperor walked alone to his high seat.
Consort Zheng, who was watching the spectacle, saw herself reflected on it.
The Zheng family has lost face big time today.
Madam Zheng glared at Jiang Chuwei with resentment.
If she hadn't caused trouble, why would the Emperor have taken his anger out on the Imperial Concubine?
She had a dispute with Princess Anyang, but why was only Princess Anyang punished while she was able to escape unscathed?
Jiang Chuwei's gaze met that of Madam Zheng.
Madam Zheng didn't have time to look away.
Jiang Chuwei: ...
This family is really interesting.
An Yang collapsed to the ground, his face filled with despair.
Consort Zheng secretly rejoiced, thankfully the Emperor only punished her and did not implicate the entire Zheng clan.
Jiang Chuwei watched all this with a slight smile on her lips.
An Yang's madness will last for two or three days. Once she fully recovers, she will definitely regret it to death.
But it was all too late.
Once she regained her senses, she realized that her words and actions at the banquet had reduced her to a commoner, stripping her of her former noble status.
All of this is thanks to Jiang Chuwei.
At this time, Jiang Chuwei was enjoying the favor of Prince Yu and was living a life of great prestige.
Anyang wanted to retaliate, but it was powerless to do so.
Ultimately, Anyang brought this upon itself.
The acupuncture techniques taught by my master are only useful for people who can't control their emotions.
People are most likely to lose control when they are angry.
They are also more likely to speak without thinking.
These words had been on An Yang's mind for a long time.
Jiang Chuwei was merely adding fuel to the fire.
The decision was made in the emperor's fury.
It was because the emperor had long been dissatisfied with Princess Anyang and Consort Zheng.
An Yang's arrogant and domineering nature was only given a minor punishment by the Emperor last time.
How could the emperor not be furious if the woman refused to repent and publicly exposed the emperor's thoughts?
As for Consort Zheng, she always enjoyed watching others make fools of themselves and had no magnanimity whatsoever. She deserved to be punished by the emperor.
