Even though she was the empress dowager, she was not allowed to imprison concubines without reason.
"Oh?" His Majesty raised his eyes and said, "The servants in the Palace of Heavenly Purity have been searching for someone all over the harem these days. Doesn't the Empress Dowager know about this?"
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged, and she looked at the ground: "Meng Siyao is my niece. As for the one next to her, she is said to be her personal maid."
"Since the servants of the Palace of Heavenly Purity have never come to my place, how can I know that these two people are the ones that His Majesty is looking for?"
"Personal maid?" Xiao Yu looked at her with contempt.
After saying that, he looked at the ground.
He raised his foot, and his long boots embroidered with golden dragons and soaring clouds caught Zhou Shuyun's eye.
When Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Zhou Shuyun's face, he couldn't help but sneer: "This person is a concubine in the palace, not a maid."
When Zhou Shuyun heard His Majesty say that she was a concubine, she couldn't help but open her eyes and look at His Majesty.
She felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
How could I be a concubine? Where in the world could I find a virgin concubine?
His Majesty only gave her the title of Beauty, but he never met her alone since she entered the palace.
She didn't even have a chance to sleep with him, and she only had the title of a beauty in vain. How could she be a real concubine?
Zhou Shuyun's eyes were filled with tears, but His Majesty's eyes fell on her face, and he was not moved at all by the tears on her face.
"But she spread rumors and misled the people, and committed a serious mistake. I will bring her to be severely punished!"
His Majesty said in a stern voice, and then he looked behind him and said, "Lin An."
Lin An hurriedly stretched out his hand and called for the guards behind him to come forward.
The guards took Zhou Shuyun and others and were about to arrest them.
The Queen Mother personally stepped forward to stop them: "Your Majesty can take Lady Zhou with you, but it's Meng Siyao..."
"Meng Siyao was brought by me from outside the palace. Although she entered the palace, she is not His Majesty's concubine, and His Majesty did not give her a title."
"A woman's reputation is important. When the emperor brought her to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, was he going to give her a title or promote her to be a concubine?"
Zhou Shuyun had no choice, but Meng Siyao couldn't let His Majesty take the person away easily.
She had to keep one of these two people.
"She has committed a serious crime. If I want to take her away, will the Queen Mother stop me?"
As Xiao Yu spoke, his eyes fell on Meng Siyao who was standing beside Zhou Shuyun.
Meng Siyao's face really looks like Chen Fu.
If she loses a lot of weight, she will look even more like him.
When they first met, Qi was shaken for a moment by the similarity, but then he saw Meng Siyao's face.
There was only murderous intent in his eyes.
When Meng Siyao saw that the Emperor was looking at her, she shrank her neck and did not dare to confront him.
She no longer wanted wealth and glory, or any favors.
She lowered her head severely, hoping to hide as far away as possible, for fear of confronting the Emperor.
"Emperor." The Empress Dowager said nothing, as if she had spoken.
"If His Majesty doubts that he wants to take her away, either make her a concubine or hand her over to me..."
Before the empress dowager finished her words, Xiao Yu chuckled, casually drew the sword from the guard beside him, and stabbed Meng Siyao's neck.
"Ah!" a scream.
Meng Siyao covered her neck.
The knife was pulled out and blood splattered all over the floor!
