Her actions alarmed the entire harem and could not be kept secret.
The Empress Dowager, Consort Yue, and others rushed over and were all shocked by the news of Consort Ming's pregnancy.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face filled with a chilling expression.
"Enough! You keep calling her a bastard, but do you know that the imperial physician was arranged by me, and the child in her belly is a genuine imperial heir!" The emperor slammed his hand on the table and coldly interrupted everyone's probing.
The Emperor was clearly furious. The Empress Dowager and Consort Yue, among others, tried to comfort him, which sounded like they were trying to appease him, but in reality, they all wished he would order Consort Ming to be executed.
Princess Zhaoyang was even more despicable, completely ignoring his confinement order and showing no respect for the emperor. It seems he had spoiled her too much.
When the emperor is angered, the consequences will inevitably be extremely serious.
The Emperor issued a decree ordering Princess Zhaoyang to marry into the Liang Kingdom, with departure scheduled for one month later, leaving no room for negotiation.
The Liang Kingdom was located in the northwest, a desolate and barbaric place that Princess Zhaoyang could not tolerate. Sending her there for a political marriage was tantamount to sending her to her death.
It wasn't a quick and decisive cut, but rather a slow and agonizing torture, crushing her body, mind, and dignity underfoot.
The eldest princess entered the palace, knelt down and begged for mercy, but the emperor was determined and there was no possibility of him retracting his order.
The Empress Dowager's hunger strike failed to soften the Emperor's heart; she even fainted from hunger.
Xing Xiaoya was at the height of her fame, and no one dared to offend her easily.
She was even promoted again because she was pregnant with the emperor's child, becoming Consort Ming, and was on equal footing with Consort Yue.
Of course, on the surface no one dared to touch Consort Ming, but in reality the harem was in turmoil and many people were making moves against her.
The Crown Prince's position is not secure. The Emperor dotes on Consort Ming so much that her child will surely be deeply favored. If the Emperor favors his younger son and wants to hand over the country to him, then everything will be over.
This time, even the Imperial Noble Consort couldn't sit still and joined the fray. She absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to threaten the Sixth Prince's position.
Xing Xiaoya was five months pregnant and suffered countless open and covert attacks, but none of them brought her down. On the contrary, she rose all the way up and defeated countless concubines, including Consort Chen, who was stripped of her title and banished to the Cold Palace. Even the Imperial Noble Consort was implicated and stripped of her power in the harem and confined to her quarters for a month.
Such a victorious momentum, with its "illustrious achievements," is simply unstoppable.
