Chapter 29: Misfortune
He stared at her with those stern eyes: "Where did you hear those nonsense? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? Wang Dequan, drag her away and give her thirty strokes of the cane."
Zhen Fangyi is Zhen Fangyi, she has never been a substitute for anyone.
"Your Majesty protects Zhen Fangyi, where does the Imperial Concubine stand? Is the Imperial Concubine suffering in vain?"
Jiang Shunyi kowtowed on the ground, her forehead bleeding: "I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Zhen Fangyi, otherwise, can all the concubines in the palace learn her way to win favor?"
"Please punish Zhen Fangyi severely!"
Behind Jiang Shunyi, a group of Li Guifei's people knelt down.
Empress Zhu seemed to be alone and weak.
This also made her, the Empress of the Central Palace, once again deeply feel the threat of Concubine Li.
Stupid!
Before this, Jiang Xinyue didn't believe that Concubine Li would take risks and take risky measures to deal with her.
But seeing Jiang Shunyi, Wan Guiyi, Jin Chongyi and other concubines of Concubine Li's faction all kneeling in unison, indignantly demanding that the emperor punish her, she knew what was going on. Concubine
Li is fine, but she is in trouble. This is a trap set up against her.
Ridiculous!
Do they think that the emperor would like a group of concubines who force themselves?
Concubine Li is sacrificing all of them to achieve her own goals!
A temporary misfortune is not necessarily a bad thing.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Jiang Xinyue with complicated eyes. Jiang Xinyue also looked back at him, tears quickly filling her eyes. She smiled faintly at the emperor and nodded slightly.
Her eyes seemed to speak, saying that she didn't want to embarrass the emperor, and that she wanted him to comply with the wishes of Jiang Shunyi and others and punish her severely.
"Wang Dequan..."
Emperor Xuanwu felt for the first time that he couldn't look directly into those eyes full of affection. He had never felt that issuing an order to punish a concubine was such a difficult thing to say.
"Zhen Fangyi has deficiencies in virtue and conduct. From today on, she will be demoted to a noble lady and moved to the cold palace."
Even Jiang Shunyi didn't expect this punishment. If she was demoted to a noble lady and sent to the cold palace, what kind of noble lady is she?
Dead people are more like dead people.
It seems that the emperor is deeply in love with the imperial concubine, and she is unique and cannot be replaced by anyone.
"Your Majesty."
Empress Zhu felt that the punishment was too severe and wanted to persuade her again, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, step down. It is enough for me to accompany the imperial concubine."
Who would have thought that the emperor had just demoted Jiang Zhaoyi to Shunyi for Zhen Fangyi's dog not long ago, and now he demoted Zhen Fangyi to noble lady for Li Guifei, and even sent her to the cold palace.
The situation in this palace is really changing rapidly, and there is no way to predict it.
Who can say for sure when this Zhen... noble lady will suddenly be favored by the emperor and return to the public's attention?
After all, this woman was once disliked by the emperor, but was favored and revived by virtue of her ability.
Not to mention the future, even now, the palace maids and eunuchs have never seen the Empress, the Virtuous Consort, and the Liang Consort come to see off a concubine who was banished to the cold palace.
The third prince even hugged the precious lady's thighs and cried with tears and snot, showing that he really couldn't bear to part with her.
The eldest princess' eyes also turned red: "Empress Zhen, you must take good care of yourself in there. I... I will definitely find a chance to talk to my father and ask him to let you out."
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "I am very touched that the princess has this heart. You don't have to think of ways to save me. This is our adults' business. If you really want to help Empress Zhen, you can take your brothers and sisters to Hexi Palace more often and help Empress Zhen take care of the fruits and vegetables inside. It's good to pick and eat them, so that I won't waste my planting."
Where did she want the eldest princess to take care of those vegetables?
She wanted several princes and princesses to go to Hexi Palace often, so that the people in Hexi Palace who stayed outside the cold palace would not be bullied by others.
The second princess immediately expressed her opinion: "Empress Zhen, don't worry, I will go to Hexi Palace often."
"Me too, me too..."
Empress Zhu sighed: "Don't blame the emperor, your Excellency Zhen. Concubine Li is still in danger, so he punished you like this. When Concubine Li wakes up, the emperor will definitely let you out."
Concubine Liang and Concubine De also echoed, saying that the palace maids in Hexi Palace were still there and had not been dismissed. It seemed that the emperor also wanted to let her out.
Jiang Xinyue thought to herself: I'm afraid it won't be that fast.
But she still accepted their kindness and bowed down and said: "I have been in the palace for half a year. Thank you, Her Majesty and the two sisters for taking care of me. I will definitely repay you when I leave this cold palace."
Drawing a big cake here, Empress Zhu will do her best to find a way to prevent the emperor from forgetting her.
The beauty was there, and Empress Zhu wanted to find another concubine as beautiful as her to share the favor of Concubine Bo Li Guifei, but that was impossible.
There were many beauties in this world, but it was rare to find peerless beauties. She and Concubine Li Guifei belonged to the second category.
"You must take good care of this precious person for me. If she gets into any trouble, I will hold you responsible."
The palace was filled with the scent of incense, and Empress Zhu took off her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, revealing a face that looked a few years younger.
Fenyun and several palace maids used hair oil to maintain her long hair: "Your Majesty, what exactly did the noble lady say at the gate of the cold palace today?"
Empress Zhu curled her lips: "She was telling me that she knows how to return a favor. As long as I mention her in front of the emperor from time to time, she will be able to regain his favor. Once she comes out, Concubine Li will be her mortal enemy, and she will help me get rid of Concubine Li."
Fenyun was surprised: "Does she have this ability?"
"Then think about it again, was she panicked at all when she was sent to the cold palace by the emperor today?"
Fenyun paused: "Your Majesty means..."
"I will never look down on her again."
Empress Zhu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light: "How do we know if she is the second Li Guifei?"
She didn't want to defeat Li Guifei and then have another Zhen Guifei who was even more difficult to deal with.
But...
Zhen Guiren and Li Guifei were different after all. Zhen Guiren was still young, and he could clearly distinguish between good and evil, and between likes and dislikes.
Her world is black and white. Those she likes are good people, and those who dislike her are bad people. She
has some tricks, but she uses them on her enemies.
She is not on guard against her, Concubine Liang, and Concubine De.
"Then will your majesty still help her?"
"Why not help her?"
Empress Zhu said meaningfully, "It's just a few indirect suggestions. The emperor doesn't have her in his heart, so no matter how much I say, it's useless. The emperor has her in his heart, and even if I don't say it, he may not stop thinking about her. All men in the world are like this. What they can't get is the best. I just do a favor and let the opportunity person be grateful to Dai Ze. Why not do it?" Concubine
Li Guifei was also confused. The more she attacked Zhen Guiren, the more the emperor would think that the love between him and Zhen Guiren was full of difficulties.
All men love to challenge difficulties, especially the emperor is the most noble man in the world.
