Her words were practically an open declaration that Yan Nangui was so upset that she couldn't sleep because Shu Chengfeng had summoned Xia Fengyi to his bedchamber the previous night.
With the arrival of a new concubine, it's said that she has even fewer opportunities to serve the emperor.
For the past two weeks, Shu Chengfeng really hasn't been to Jiyue Pavilion. But he hasn't been to the main courtyard or Wenyue Pavilion either.
She served the emperor three times in total: once with Consort Su and twice with Lady Xia.
Yan Nangui had an upset stomach and was too tired to pay attention to her, so she just glanced at her.
If Ding Zhaoxun had any sense of propriety, would he have ended up like this?
So when she saw that Yan Nangui was silent, she assumed that she had been right.
Then she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed, "If you ask me, you should be more open-minded. It's good enough to receive His Highness's favor for a few days. You can't force it."
Ye Liangdi found it pleasant to listen to, and wisely refrained from responding.
The main reason is that she cannot agree with the words of a mere Zhaoxun.
Su Liangdi thought to herself that Ding Zhaoxun was a fool. Even if she secretly allied with Yan Nangui, there was no need for her to step forward now.
The Crown Princess frowned as she listened: "Alright, what nonsense are you talking about? It's getting late, everyone can leave."
Yan Nangui helped Luo Kui to her feet, glancing at Ding Zhaoxun indifferently.
Ding Zhaoxun glanced at it and felt a chill run down his spine.
After leaving the main courtyard, Yan Nangui changed his usual route and headed in the other direction.
Ye Liangdi was puzzled, but just hummed and walked away.
Those who still live here, like Ye Liangdi, are all of low rank.
Luo Liangyuan did not come out today. She is not feeling well.
Yan Nangui walked ahead, and the others had to follow behind. Ding Zhaoxun was already getting a little nervous.
The newlywed Xiang family lived in Feixue Pavilion and was following behind.
Having moved away from the main courtyard, Yan Nangui stopped and looked at the pavilion not far away: "Please come in and sit with me."
She left as soon as she finished speaking, and no one else dared not go.
Before long, everyone arrived here.
"Go and summon two eunuchs from the garden."
Luo Kui went about her business, and Ding Zhaoxun became anxious: "What's going on with Yan Liangyuan?"
Yan Nangui ignored her. She wanted to leave, but before she could speak, she saw two eunuchs being brought by Luo Kui.
“Ding Zhaoxun has spoken rudely to me several times. Today, it’s time for him to pay the price.”
Ding Zhaoxun's legs went weak: "What...what are you going to do?"
"You two, hold her down and slap her," Yan Nangui ordered.
The two eunuchs dared not, and hesitated as they looked at the crowd.
"What? You won't listen? Since you won't listen, then we'll send two more people. Think it over."
The two eunuchs looked at each other, not daring to do so. If they were to switch places, they feared they would be doomed.
Song Erman has become a deputy. If the two of them offend Yan Liangyuan, they might be killed.
Anyway, Ding Zhaoxun has fallen out of favor, so what's there to be afraid of?
Ding Zhaoxun tried to run away, but a palace eunuch quickly grabbed her.
Ding Zhaoxun's maid did help. But firstly, she wasn't strong enough, and secondly, it wasn't that she didn't dare...
Ding Zhaoxun had already been pulled back.
"May I ask, Lady, how many slaps?" another eunuch asked tremblingly.
"Beat her until she submits." Yan Nangui smiled. "Ding Zhaoxun has a silver tongue, so don't hold back."
The eunuch came over and slapped her hard, afraid that if he didn't hit her hard enough, he would be punished.
Ding Zhaoxun was shocked. At this moment, he no longer cared about his composure. He cursed Yan Nangui: "Yan Shi, have you gone mad? You dare to set up a private court of punishment! You...you shameless thing, how dare you treat me like this! I will definitely ask His Highness to punish you severely!"
"Take off your shoes and let me whip you. If you die, it's on me. If you can't bring yourself to do it, the consequences will be yours." Yan Nangui sneered.
The eunuch glanced at her and shuddered.
Without saying a word, he took off one shoe and slapped it across Ding Zhaoxun's face.
They really didn't hold back.
Everyone looked pale, clinging tightly to the maids.
Nobody has ever seen anything like this before.
Ding Zhaoxun initially cursed, then begged for mercy in pain, his face covered in tears and snot, and his mouth was bleeding from a cut.
But Yan Nangui just sat there, watching and listening, without saying anything about stopping.
His face was distorted from being slapped so many times, it must have been dozens of slaps.
The eunuch was covered in sweat and was almost exhausted.
Han Chenghui said in a trembling voice, "Liangyuan... if you hit her again... she might be gone..."
"Okay, stop now," Yan Nangui finally said.
The moment the eunuch stopped, he was momentarily stunned. He quickly put on his shoes and knelt down.
But she couldn't let go, because Ding Zhaoxun couldn't stand up anymore; she hadn't actually fainted.
At this moment, all traces of ruthlessness had vanished; he now looked at Yan Nangui with utter fear as he approached.
Yan Nangui used a handkerchief to cushion her hand, lifted her chin, and looked at her distorted face: "Why can't you learn to be honest? Hmm? Even if I never serve the emperor in my entire life, I'll still be a virtuous lady. Look, I've been hitting you for so long, has anyone helped you?"
Ding Zhaoxun was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and his words were mumbled, probably a plea for mercy.
"Will you still dare to be sarcastic towards me in the future?" Yan Nangui asked again.
"Waaah..." Ding Zhaoxun shook her head, but shaking her head made her dizzy, and she mumbled that she dared not.
"Since you're too scared to go back, then go home. Look at that face, tsk tsk. Since I'm the one who had you beaten up, I won't just abandon you. I'll have someone bring you medicine and you should take good care of yourself. Hmm?"
Ding Zhaoxun trembled with fear, worried that there was something wrong with the medicine.
"What? Afraid of being poisoned? That means you won't use the medicine I sent?" Yan Nangui laughed, and with her stunningly beautiful face, she looked like a demon to Ding Zhaoxun.
She mumbled through her mouth that she would definitely use it.
"Good boy." Yan Nangui released his hand with satisfaction, letting the blood-stained handkerchief fall to the ground.
“My sisters, you don’t need to stay here. Go back now. I’m going for a walk in the garden. You two come with me.”
Two eunuchs hurriedly followed.
The others bowed respectfully as they saw them off.
Ding Zhaoxun collapsed to the ground, supported by her maid.
His whole body was shaking violently.
Yan Nangui looked at the eunuch who had hit the man: "How old are you? What's your name?"
"This servant is sixteen, and her name is Shuanzi." Shuanzi said cautiously.
"Well, go back first. I'll inform His Highness and the Crown Princess, and then I'll transfer you to serve me another day." Although Consort Liang doesn't have any eunuchs at the moment, she believes it wouldn't be a big deal for her to have one.
She didn't want the other eunuch because he was too old.
The sensible Luo Kui immediately rewarded the man with ten taels of silver, which he gratefully accepted.
Luo Kui was also quite frightened, mainly because of the way the person was being beaten, and the blood...
Back in Jiyue Pavilion, she asked cautiously, "Is everything... alright?"
"Of course there's something wrong. I've essentially set up my own punishment chamber, and I'll probably be punished. Whether it's confinement or a fine depends on what Her Highness the Crown Princess says. I only ask for confinement."
Who wants to get up early every day?
"Oh? What should we do?" Luo Kui asked nervously.
