Chapter 201 Concubine Wang is Demoted
His Majesty walked outside in a hurry.
At the door, Concubine Wang and others were standing at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, shivering with cold.
It was windy and rainy outside, and the entrance to the Qianqing Palace was facing the wind. Lady Wang was already soaked by the rain and was freezing cold.
Now, being blown by the wind and rain, I was shivering with cold, and my teeth were chattering constantly.
Seeing that she was about to freeze to death here, Concubine Wang squeezed Zhou Shuyun's body and almost fainted from the cold.
"Why hasn't anyone come to pay attention to us yet?" Lady Wang squeezed against Zhou Shuyun, leaning against her and muttering.
Zhou Shuyun felt cold all over, and she could feel a chill coming from the inside out.
She could hardly stand steadily and was almost tottering, but Concubine Wang still leaned on her.
Zhou Shuyun felt annoyed for a while, but she was concerned about something and endured it.
"It may be that Concubine Shen is not feeling well." Several waves of imperial doctors came just now, one after another.
I don’t know if something happened to Concubine Shen that made His Majesty so worried.
At that time, no one thought that the Emperor was actually in the dark.
Thinking of the thrilling scene just now,
Zhou Shuyun felt a little nervous and her palms were cold.
The Queen didn’t know how much she had heard at the door just now, and she was more worried about her own performance at that time.
How did she do it at that time, and how much did the Emperor see?
Zhou Shuyun knew nothing about all this. What she feared most was that the Emperor would see something else and have unnecessary thoughts about her.
Zhou Shuyun stood at the entrance of the hall, but she was filled with anxiety and couldn't put anything into practice.
"I'm afraid that Concubine Shen is not feeling well." Zhou Shuyun sighed.
Lady Wang was shivering from the cold, and she shivered as she pressed against Zhou Shuyun's body, stamping her feet in the cold:
"She really didn't push her. You just saw it. She fell on her own. It has nothing to do with me..."
Lady Wang thought of this and gnashed her teeth in hatred: "She must be trying to frame me!"
"Keep your voice down."
The entrance to the Qianqing Palace was surrounded by people, either guards or palace maids and eunuchs serving the Emperor. Lady Wang's voice was so loud that the servants around her could hear it clearly.
Zhou Shuyun was afraid of being implicated by Concubine Wang, so she turned around angrily and tried to persuade her.
"What are you afraid of? It's not my fault in the first place..." Lady Wang was still chattering away in her defense.
Zhou Shuyun was not without suspicion in her heart. She had thought about the scene just now countless times in her mind.
She had just seen clearly from that angle that Lady Wang raised her hand and held Chen Fu's hand, but she definitely didn't dare to push her.
Although she knew how jealous Concubine Wang was of Chen Fu, how many people in the harem were not jealous of Chen Fu?
But she also knew that with Concubine Wang's courage, she definitely didn't have the guts to really do anything to Shen Fu.
Thinking of how Shen Fu fell just now, and... it was such a coincidence that His Majesty came.
Zhou Shuyun did have some doubts in her mind.
However: "Now we are still at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. If at that time..." Before he finished speaking, the vermilion door in front of him was opened.
Zhou Shuyun looked towards the door in a hurry, only to see the vermilion door open and His Majesty striding out of the house with big steps.
The drizzle continued and His Majesty walked in a hurry without even putting on his cloak.
He has an upright figure and wears a straight long gown, which makes him look elegant and refined.
Zhou Shuyun was stunned by the look on His Majesty's face for a moment and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Now that you're meeting His Majesty, why don't you quickly pay your respects?" Lin An walked behind His Majesty and glanced at the two of them.
Zhou Shuyun quickly came to her senses and immediately lowered her eyes.
She lowered her head and saw that her skirt was wet and sticking to her body.
Zhou Shuyun felt embarrassed and almost dodged to the side: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
"Get up." Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Zhou Shuyun. He saw that her clothes were stuck to her body and she was shivering with cold standing in the wind and rain.
His Majesty's eyes suddenly softened. He looked at Zhou Shuyun for a long time before he looked at Concubine Wang beside her.
"Concubine Wang!" His Majesty's voice was directed at her, but Concubine Wang was already frightened silly.
Seeing His Majesty's eyes falling on her, Concubine Wang's knees went weak and she knelt on the ground without saying anything.
"I...I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."
Concubine Wang stammered and didn't even dare to look at His Majesty.
"It was you who pushed Concubine Shen just now?" His Majesty's eyes were extremely cold. Concubine Wang felt as if there was an icy sword hanging above her head, so cold that she could hardly raise her head.
"No...it's not me." Concubine Wang's eyes trembled as she avoided the gaze of His Majesty.
His Majesty's eyes were so cold, as if he wanted to kill me.
How could Lady Wang dare to admit it? If she really admitted this, the Emperor would probably cut her into pieces.
"Not you?" His Majesty frowned slightly, and his cold eyes fell on Concubine Wang.
"I remember it was you."
His Majesty's tone was icy, but these three words, "remember", made Concubine Wang feel weak again.
She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the Emperor, but was frightened by the look in his eyes and immediately lowered her head.
"I...I didn't do anything. It was Concubine Shen who fell herself."
Concubine Wang thought about it and still felt unwilling to accept it. It was clearly Chen Fu who was framing her. If the Emperor really misunderstood, then she would have suffered an unprovoked disaster.
"She fell by herself?"
"I swear to heaven!" Concubine Wang had never done it before, so she was full of confidence:
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the servants present here. If...if that doesn't work, you can ask Lady Zhou..."
Concubine Wang pulled Zhou Shuyun forward, as if she had found a life-saving straw: "Princess..."
Zhou Shuyun looked at His Majesty, feeling troubled. She was unwilling to lie, but if she was asked to tell the truth, it was obvious that the Emperor was on Concubine Shen's side.
"I didn't see it clearly at that time."
Zhou Shuyun lowered her head and finally knelt down. She knelt on the bluestone slab with a cold body, and her slender waist trembled uncontrollably.
His Majesty's eyes fell on Zhou Shuyun, and then he said to Concubine Wang: "I believe you did not push Concubine Shen..."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Wang's eyes lit up and she cried with joy. Even Zhou Shuyun looked at His Majesty in shock.
How could His Majesty say such a thing?
Could it be that His Majesty is on the side of Concubine Wang? Zhou Shuyun really didn't believe it and her mind felt dizzy.
Before he could figure it out, he heard the Emperor above him say, "Even if you didn't push her, I will punish you today."
"You are disrespecting your superiors. Concubine Shen is so much higher than you, but you don't take her seriously at all!"
His Majesty's voice was deep and heavy, like a stone smashing towards Concubine Wang: "Drag Concubine Wang away, seclude her in the palace, and demote her to a concubine. Do not let her out!"
As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, two young eunuchs carried Concubine Wang away.
Wang Xuanshi couldn't break free and screamed frantically for mercy, but was still dragged into the rain.
When Zhou Shuyun saw this, her heart tightened. Looking at the Emperor in front of her, Zhou Shuyun's heart beat rapidly.
"Wan..." Before she could say anything, Zhou Shuyun felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she fainted completely after her eyes closed.
