The emperor's favor is not to be trusted. Her mother had told her when she entered the palace that she should not really like the emperor, or she would be doomed.
But she fell into Kangxi's favor. The more proud and glorious she was then, the more destitute and disappointed she is now.
Before she could recover and accept the Empress Dowager's punishment, Li Dequan arrived.
"Your Highness, this is an imperial edict from the Emperor."
Consort Yi moved her numb legs and knelt on the ground, hoping that the Emperor would rescind the Empress Dowager's punishment.
However, it was destined to disappoint her.
"By imperial decree, Consort Yi, of the Guo Luo Luo clan, has shown disrespect to high-ranking concubines and the Empress Dowager. Considering her merit in bearing the imperial heir, she shall be confined to her quarters for six months and shall copy the palace rules three times a day."
After Li Dequan finished speaking, he immediately nodded: "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that since your confinement period is long, the little princess will be raised by her birth mother, Lady Guoluo. Lady Guoluo will move to a side hall of Xianfu Palace starting today."
Consort Yi looked at Li Dequan in disbelief. The Emperor could be so ruthless, not only doubling the confinement but also taking her sister away.
In other words, from today onwards, she, like Lady Tongjia, has become a concubine without favor or children.
No, she is not as good as Tongjia.
At least she was a Noble Consort, second only to the Emperor and above all other concubines.
"Eunuch Li, I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor! The Emperor cannot treat me like this!"
Consort Yi stepped forward and grabbed Li Dequan's trouser leg, her eyes filled with despair.
Let alone half a year, even a month would bring about earth-shattering changes in the harem. By the time she comes out, will she still have any place to stand?
Li Dequan brushed away Consort Yi's hand and took a few steps back: "Your Majesty's words will certainly be conveyed by this servant. This servant will take his leave."
After leaving the main hall, looking at Guo Luoluo Shi who had already packed her things, I felt a little emotional: Isn't being honest and upright a blessing? Look, this one has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work!
Guo Luoluo wanted to go in to see Consort Yi, but looking at the little princess in her arms, she hardened her heart and turned around to leave Yikun Palace with Li Dequan.
