Sheng Xiyan's voice was resounding and firm.
On her face, which is as delicate as a rose, her eyes are like autumn water and her lips are exquisite.
The neck is slender and white, and the slightly exposed collarbone lines are attractive.
She is extremely beautiful, peerless and independent, a beauty among beauties.
Xuan Ling also wanted to just immerse himself in admiring her beauty and didn't want to hear what was going to happen next.
But as an emperor, he was used to observing everything and it was difficult for him not to understand her intentions.
The gaze that was looking down at the woman gradually grew colder and filled with anger.
"So? What does my beloved want to say?"
Sheng Xiyan kowtowed respectfully,
"I, your concubine, voluntarily request to leave the palace to restore peace to the harem and to restore the emperor's wisdom."
Empress Duan and the four concubines were extremely shocked. Except for Concubine De who frowned nervously, it was hard for the others not to reveal the secret joy on their faces that they dared not show in front of the emperor.
Empress Duan said, "Concubine Chen, do you know that a concubine has no right to ask to leave the palace on her own?
Unless they are dead, the Emperor, out of His Majesty's grace, grants his family the right to take their bodies out of the palace."
Of course Sheng Xiyan knew that a concubine was not allowed to leave the palace until her death, and she had never dared to even think about it before.
The reason I dare to take this step now is because I have three amulets.
Without destruction, there is no construction.
Xuan Ling dotes on Cui Nianmi. If Cui Nianmi is promoted to the position of concubine, her situation will only get worse.
Both Empress Duan and the Empress Dowager's factions are in urgent need of a prince, but are also wary of her getting pregnant. The recent numerous assassinations are enough to prove this.
Sheng Xiyan couldn't guarantee that when she was pregnant and heavy, she would still have the strength to save herself and her child.
In the final analysis, it is because she realized that men are unreliable and she has to find a way to survive on her own.
The problem between her and Xuan Ling is not just Cui Nianmi, but also the emperor's suspicion.
Concubine Shu was about to speak when Emperor Xuanwu suddenly shouted:
"Everyone, step back."
Empress Duan and Concubine Shu were so frightened that they trembled and bowed as they left the palace.
Eunuch Fu closed the palace door and stood guard at the door.
Inside the hall, Xuan Ling paced in front of Sheng Xiyan, trying to calm the complex emotions in his chest.
While she was trying every possible way to leave him, he was thinking about what Mid-Autumn Festival gift he should give her and how to make her happy.
The emperor was like a fool, kept in the dark.
After a long time, he stopped.
"Sheng Xiyan, have you had enough trouble?
I know I've been neglecting you lately, and it's making you feel bad, but how can I feel good too?"
Sheng Xiyan's expression was calm, and her voice was even calmer.
"I dare not complain. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to leave the palace."
Xuan Ling leaned over and brought down a powerful aura of intimidation, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were filled with crazy waves, and he asked jokingly:
"Sheng Xiyan, you finally can't hold it back anymore and want to leave the palace and rekindle your relationship with your ex-husband?"
"I don't think so. I left the palace to pray for the good fortune of the country and for the longevity of the emperor."
She knew that he would not be willing to kill her. This woman knew how to hurt him and how to exploit his weak spot.
"Then do you know that once a deposed concubine leaves the palace, there is absolutely no possibility of her returning to it?"
Sheng Xiyan sighed silently. She hadn't decided whether to enter the palace or not. In fact, she couldn't make the decision, right?
"Look at me!"
Xuan Ling pinched her neck and forced her to look at him.
Their eyes met, and he reflected her in his distinct black and white pupils.
Your Majesty, are you disagreeing because you are unwilling to do so, or because of your imperial dignity?
She was certain that he had a desire to conquer her from the very beginning.
"Sheng Xiyan, answer me, do you know that once a deposed concubine leaves the palace, she can no longer enter it?"
"I know, and I don't regret it."
She was so determined that she didn't want to meet him at all.
Xuan Ling was so emotionally broken that he couldn't speak, and his chest heaved with his rapid breathing.
Sheng Xiyan was very nervous. Today, she took advantage of the frame-up and asked to leave the palace from a moral high ground, which was undoubtedly a challenge to the emperor's authority.
Xuan Ling's face was ice-cold, and his deep eyes were like two torches that could burn her in the next moment.
Sheng Xiyan closed her eyes, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Silent prayer:
Let me go,
When I see you, my heart aches.
I don't want to stand there and watch you love someone else anymore.
The hands with white bones were shaking, and the fair neck was covered with red.
Xuan Ling pushed her away.
Sheng Xiyan knelt down to listen to the order.
"From now on, you are no longer the Consort of Chen, your title is stripped away, and you are demoted to a commoner.
Sheng Xiyan, you are mine for now, and you will be mine forever. Don't even think about living with someone else.
Since you are leaving the palace, go to the temple and pray for blessings."
Temple? Sheng Xiyan frowned. Why not send me back home?
For a meat lover, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Sheng Xiyan squeezed her eyes, and pearly tears burst out from her eyes.
No, I have never thought about going to the temple!
I can’t do it!
I looked down at my stomach and thought, "Choulong, are you going to starve your son and daughter to malnutrition?"
However, your Majesty is not joking, so I can only obey your command.
This boomerang came back quite fast.
Today she held Xuan Ling and agreed to her request to leave the palace.
At this time, she was carried by Xuan Ling to the temple to pray for blessings.
Xuan Ling looked down at her and asked, "Are you willing to go to the temple?"
Threatening:
"Sheng Xiyan, from now on, the green lamp and ancient Buddha are your destiny..."
"I obey your order."
Sheng Xiyan didn't know how she said these four words, and she kowtowed three times.
A temple is a temple. As long as you can ask your family to send food to you, you can still survive.
In order to prove themselves to men, women deliberately exaggerate their ability to endure hardships and think they are invincible female warriors.
