"Your Majesty, I am Ming'er's mother. How can I not be worried? How about you let me leave the palace to see Ming'er?"
"snort!"
The emperor roared with his sleeves waving, and said coldly:
"I just said that Ming'er will be back in three days. You are now a guilty person. If it weren't for Concubine Li's intercession, I would not have lifted your house arrest."
Hearing him say this, Concubine Chang gritted her teeth and glanced at Concubine Li. Not only did she not show a trace of gratitude, but she roared with a bit of anger:
"Your Majesty, she is just pretending to be sympathetic. It was clearly the Fifth Prince who took Ming'er out of the palace. This responsibility should be borne by the Fifth Prince, but now she comes here to pretend to be a good person. Please help me."
"snort!"
The emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and there was even more anger between his brows.
"You yourself have failed to educate your son properly, yet you indiscriminately blame others. You are truly unrepentant. From now on, the affairs of the harem will be in the hands of Concubine Li. You will immediately hand over the account books and other related matters to Concubine Li, and then confine yourself to Dening Palace to reflect on your mistakes."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang was immediately shocked, begging for mercy and questioning:
"Your Majesty, for so many years, I have managed this harem in an orderly manner. Why did Your Majesty suddenly let Concubine Li take over? Do you think my management is not good enough? If Your Majesty finds anything wrong, I can change it."
For the women in the harem, the position of being in charge of the harem is very important. Whoever sits firmly in this position will be the master of the harem. She has sat in this position for many years, but now it is easily taken away by Concubine Li. How can she obey?
Seeing this, Concubine Li showed a barely perceptible smug look at the corner of her mouth, then she leaned forward and said softly, playing hard to get.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about managing the harem, so I'd better let my sister take charge."
The emperor turned around, took her hand, and said softly:
"My beloved concubine is sensible, knows etiquette, and can distinguish priorities. It is perfect for you to take charge of the harem. Please do not refuse."
This action really made Concubine Chang's face turn cold instantly. She bit her lips tightly and wanted to argue again, but she knew it was useless. If she said more about the emperor's decision, it would only anger the emperor, and the consequences would be more serious.
Therefore, she could only bow in a low voice, "I understand, I will take my leave."
Before leaving, she looked at Concubine Li coldly, the hatred in her eyes almost overflowing from her face.
