Chapter 79 She deserves to be punished!
Queen Qin originally arranged Concubine Li to enter the Eastern Palace, firstly for the sake of her relative's face, and secondly because she wanted to monitor the situation in the backyard of the Eastern Palace through Concubine Li.
What I didn't expect was that Concubine Li was so stupid.
Just to deal with a little concubine, he even plotted against the crown prince.
She deserves to be punished!
Queen Qin could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Given her personality, she should have gotten rid of Concubine Li directly to prevent her from doing anything stupid in the future.
But after all, he was her relative, so Queen Qin finally couldn't bring herself to do anything cruel to him. She only ordered Concubine Li to go to Ziyun Temple for a month to meditate and reflect on her mistakes.
When Concubine Li received the imperial edict, she felt like she was struck by lightning and almost fainted.
She originally wrote a letter to her cousin the Queen with great hope, hoping to ask her cousin for help. However, instead of getting her cousin's help, she was driven away to a nunnery!
Concubine Li felt so sad that she could no longer bear it and burst into tears.
Caiyun wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
To be honest, she also wanted to cry.
Although Ziyun Temple was built with royal funds, it was located not far from Shengjing City. The environment was pretty good and at least there was no need to worry about food and clothing.
But it was just a nunnery after all, how could it compare to the comfort of the imperial palace?!
More importantly, there are so many women in the backyard of the East Palace, all trying to get close to the prince. It is said that one only hears the laughter of new people and not the cries of old people. Concubine Li will be gone for a month. When she returns to the East Palace in the future, I am afraid that the prince will have forgotten what she looks like!
If Concubine Li were completely forgotten, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Jinfeng Palace would probably have no good days in the future.
The more Caiyun thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help but start crying.
…
That afternoon, Concubine Li was packed up and sent to Ziyun Temple outside the city in a horse-drawn carriage.
There were only two concubines in the entire Eastern Palace. Now that Concubine Li has been sent away, there is only one Concubine Bai left.
When this news reached the Yulian Palace, everyone inside was excited.
When Concubine Li was around, she often made things difficult for them on purpose. Now that Concubine Li was cruelly punished by Empress Qin, they can finally vent their anger.
Concubine Bai also felt that the depression in her heart had been relieved a lot, and her whole body became more energetic.
This was probably the only good news she had heard during this period.
But before she could be happy for long, she was frightened by the next piece of news and fell ill again.
Concubine Bai was lying on the bed, asking with a weak breath.
"Did you hear clearly? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really going to leave the palace and head south?"
Liu Xu consoled her, "We heard it right. This matter has spread throughout the palace, and even the Emperor has approved it. It is absolutely true. My lady, you are not in good health. Don't worry. If you worry and get sick, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be distressed."
Concubine Bai said weakly, "How can I not be anxious? How can the prince, a daughter of a rich family, go to such a remote place? It is said that poor and remote places produce unruly people. If anything happens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I... I..."
The more she spoke, the sadder she became, and she covered her chest with her hands, feeling uncomfortable again.
Liu Xu hurriedly said, "Don't say anything. I will go get you a doctor right away."
"No, I don't want to see the doctor. Help me up. I want to go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and persuade him to change his mind."
Concubine Bai said this as she struggled to get up from the bed.
Liu Xu wanted to dissuade her, but it was useless. Concubine Bai was determined, and Liu Xu had no choice but to help her wash and dress, and supported her to go out to meet the prince.
