Even though they were very good at disguising their jealousy, Feng Changye could still guess their resentment at the moment.
That's why he had confined them to his house and didn't give them the chance to get close to his queen.
He glanced at them indifferently and said straight to the point, "I have a piece of good news to tell you first. The Queen is pregnant."
All the concubines immediately forced expressions of surprise and looked up at Zhu Wuhuan.
Then they all bowed and congratulated him.
"I, your concubine, congratulate Her Majesty the Queen on her great happiness!"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at them with pity.
Alas, I am deeply happy, but my joy will bring you great sorrow, the kind that will make you burst into tears...
But even if you feel sad or painful later, don't blame me. If you have any grudges, just direct them at your man. This is his decision and has nothing to do with me.
I actually have no objection to you staying in the palace!
She complained happily in her heart, but her face was extremely calm. "Thank you all."
She glanced at the concubines and suddenly discovered something.
Hey, why isn’t her beauty Chu among them?
Did Eunuch Yuan forget to call Xiao Chuzi?
She looked at Feng Changye strangely.
Feng Changye also looked at her sideways, wanting to give her a perfunctory smile.
Heartless woman!
I dismissed the six palaces for you, but you are so heartless that you made everyone hate me. I am so angry!
What's even more outrageous is that you are actually thinking about your little Chuzi while being angry with me!
I am your husband!
He suppressed his depression and looked at the concubines in front of him again.
"When I took you into the palace, it wasn't because I loved you. After all, before I took you in, I didn't even know who you were, so where would my affection come from? I took you in simply for the sake of my offspring and inheritance."
"Now that the Queen is pregnant and I already have a child, you are of no use to me. Staying in the palace would be a waste of your youth. It would be better to let you out as soon as possible so that you can each marry and start a family."
His words frightened the concubines!
They suddenly looked up and looked at him in disbelief!
They thought that the emperor called them here simply to warn them not to harbor any ill will towards the child in the queen's womb and not to harm others secretly.
Who knew that he would actually come and tell them to pack up and go home!
After realizing what was happening, they knelt down at the same time.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! I won't leave. I am yours, and I won't go anywhere!"
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind since the day I entered the palace. I am yours in life and yours in death. I would rather die than leave you!"
"Your Majesty, I have always been a well-behaved concubine. I have never caused any trouble in the years since I entered the palace. I swear on my life that I will never do anything to the Empress's fetus. I am the most honest concubine. Please don't drive me away, please!"
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
More than a dozen people cried together, as if leaving the palace would be a disaster for them.
Feng Changye looked at them indifferently.
He asked, "Who said, 'In life you are my person, in death you are my ghost, and I would rather die than leave me?'"
One of the beauties in goose yellow clothes was delighted!
She thought her words of loyalty had attracted the emperor's attention, so she immediately knelt forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's you, my concubine."
Feng Changye chuckled, "Okay, I'll grant you your wish."
He looked at Xiao Yuanzi standing on his right, "Xiao Yuanzi, go prepare poisoned wine and white silk, and let her choose one. Within a quarter of an hour, I want to see her corpse."
Xiao Yuanzi bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He raised his hand and asked the eunuch behind him to prepare poisoned wine and white silk immediately.
“…”The beauty in yellow was so frightened that she almost went silly!
She looked up at Feng Changye in astonishment, "Your Majesty!"
Feng Changye looked down at her and frowned slightly, "Why, you don't want to die again?"
The yellow-dressed beauty cried angrily: "..."
What could she say about this?
She said she didn't want to die, so wasn't the loyalty she just expressed tantamount to deceiving the emperor?
She said she wanted to die...
That's really seeking death!
Seeing the dilemma faced by the beauty in yellow, the other concubines were so scared that they stopped crying.
They were afraid that if they cried, the emperor would kill them too!
Zhu Wuhuan silently looked at the weak, pitiful and helpless appearance of these beauties, and glanced sideways at Feng Changye.
Tsk.
He truly deserves to be called the tyrant in history who killed all his concubines with his own hands!
Either they hack people to death or they poison them to death.
So cruel and ruthless.
"..." Tyrant Feng Changye looked at the blue sky dimly. It was so good to be deaf. He really envied the deaf.
After being envious, you still have to get on with your work.
He glanced at the concubines.
"I took you into the palace and wasted your best years. Now I am sending you out of the palace. I feel so sorry for you."
"So I won't treat you badly."
"I have already made up my mind. If you are willing to leave the palace and return home, I will issue an edict to confer upon you the title of Xiangjun and announce it to the world. Although you have been in the palace for many years, I have never favored you. When you return home, you will not be ridiculed or mocked, and you will not be unable to marry."
"And if you are unwilling to go home and insist on staying here to affect the relationship between me and the Queen, then..."
Having said that, he looked at the beauty in yellow.
There is something left unsaid, and anyone who is not a fool can guess it.
If you don't know what's good for you and stay in the palace, be prepared to die.
Seeing that the emperor had made his threats so clear, how could the concubines dare to insist on staying in the palace?
It would be nice to go back and be a local gentleman!
Although she is far inferior to the county princess, the country lady is still a noble lady after all. Who would dare not look down on them when she returns?
After they understood, the concubines kowtowed with tears in their eyes to express their gratitude.
"I am willing to leave the palace! I thank the emperor for his grace!"
Everyone kowtowed and chose to leave the palace.
The beautiful lady in yellow also looked at Feng Changye expectantly. Could she not die? She also wanted to go back and be the lady of the village!
Feng Changye caught a glimpse of her eyes and curled his lips, "I will give you another chance to choose."
The yellow-robed beauty immediately felt as if she had been pardoned. She kowtowed and thanked the emperor, "I thank the emperor for his grace! I am willing to leave the palace!"
Feng Changye nodded.
He looked at everyone, "You will follow Xiao Yuanzi. I have already prepared the title of Xiangjun. You can choose according to your rank. Once you have chosen, pack up your things and leave the harem. Wait for my imperial decree at the palace gate."
The concubines kowtowed again with tears in their eyes.
This time, they changed their self-proclaimed name.
"This humble woman bows to thank the Emperor for his grace."
From this moment on, they were no longer the emperor's women. They were just little country ladies who had nothing to do with this majestic imperial palace.
Just as they stood up and followed Xiao Yuanzi to the right, a person stumbled over from a distance.
Running and crying—
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten me, Song Anhua. A few days ago, I was your Concubine. Now I am your Talented Lady, and I am also one of your concubines!"
