From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 385 Punishment
Empress Dowager Guo had long felt that she was an eyesore and waved her hand for her to leave quickly.

But after Concubine Wan left, Empress Dowager Guo became worried that she would cause trouble and disturb Concubine Gong who was pregnant, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Suddenly, only Jia Wei and Queen Zhou were left in the palace. They looked at each other from a distance, feeling strange.

"The emperor is not lucky enough to have such a good girl. It's such a waste of talent..." Jia Wei thought to himself.

Of course he knew these things. Where the emperor spent the night every night was recorded in his daily diary.

As far as he knew, the emperor had not turned over the cards since he was bedridden...

So not only is the Empress Zhou still a virgin, but Concubine Wan's fertile land has also been barren for more than half a year...

"Marquis Yong'an..." Queen Zhou suddenly called from above.

Her voice was soft and weak. Jia Wei felt his body soften and was immediately aroused to protect her.

"How is your wife these days?"

Jia Wei was stunned. Although he had two wives, Queen Zhou certainly did not know Daiyu. As for Baochai, she had met Queen Zhou when she was ordered to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year.

"She is doing well, thank you, Queen, for your concern." Jia Wei replied casually.

Queen Zhou nodded slowly. Although she had only met Baochai once, she knew from their brief interaction that she was also an excellent woman.

Both of them were newlyweds, but their marital status was very different. Queen Zhou envied Baochai's happy marriage, but she had few friends in the palace, so of course she was impressed.

Empress Zhou thought for a moment and then said, "The ninth day of next month is my birthday. I would like to invite your wife to Kunning Palace for a chat. Please ask Marquis Yong'an to convey this message."

Queen Zhou was indeed lonely. In this shameful place, there was no one to talk to.

Jia Wei was surprised. He had never heard Baochai say that she was on good terms with the Queen...

"I will tell my wife to prepare a gift." Jia Wei said calmly, "But the palace is very important, with tight security inside and outside. It's inconvenient for her to go in and out, so I'm afraid she won't be able to attend the banquet."

The Queen invited Baochai, but he couldn't go with her. If something happened to Baochai in the harem, he would be unable to do anything. Jia Wei was of course worried.

Apart from other palace struggles, if Concubine Wan knew that his wife was going to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday, she would definitely come to cause trouble...

Jia Wei doesn't need to go the lady route, and besides, Queen Zhou is just in name only, so there is certainly no need to give her face.

Queen Zhou was shocked when she heard this. She was the queen and what she said was the imperial decree. How dare Jia Wei disobey?
She was not born into a noble family, and when she was waiting to be married, she had only read books such as "Four Books for Women", "Biographies of Women", and "Collection of Virtuous Women". Of course, she did not understand these court affairs.

In her opinion, court officials should show utmost respect to the emperor and empress.

Queen Zhou felt insulted when she was rejected by Jia Wei, and she was unhappy and stopped talking.

If she didn't speak, Jia Wei wouldn't take the initiative to tease her. After all, there were maids serving in the palace...

So there was silence in the palace, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Just as Jia Wei was about to say goodbye, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and Empress Dowager Guo and Concubine Wan walked in one after another. He quickly stood up.

"Concubine Gong is pregnant with the emperor's child, how could I possibly harm her! The Empress Dowager has misunderstood me..." Concubine Wan said aggrievedly as she chased after Empress Dowager Guo.

Jia Wei couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Concubine Wan acting like a little girl.

Concubine Wan happened to be looking at Jia Wei, and when she saw him laughing at her, she immediately said angrily, "How dare you! What are you laughing at? You have no manners at all!"

Empress Dowager Guo turned to look at her, and Concubine Wan shut up instantly.

"Mr. Jia is a pillar of the country and a pillar of your majesty. Who allowed a fool like you to be rude to him? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Jia?"

Concubine Wan looked at Empress Dowager Guo with a confused look on her face, only to see that Empress Dowager Guo looked serious.

Although she was unwilling in her heart, she dared not disobey the empress dowager, so she could only bow to Jia Wei.

Jia Wei turned aside and said, "I cannot bear it."

He looked at Empress Dowager Guo, then his eyes fell on Concubine Wan, feeling quite unhappy.

If I give you three points of color, you will open a dyeing factory, right?

Jia Wei looked around and saw that the palace maids all had their heads bowed and were looking at the ground, doing their duty cautiously... He had an idea.

When Empress Dowager Guo and Concubine Wan walked past him, Jia Wei suddenly moved! He moved his body very quickly, quickly got behind Concubine Wan, and twisted her butt hard!
"what!"

Concubine Wan screamed and quickly covered her back with her hands, her pretty face flushed red.

Empress Dowager Guo turned to look at her, a look of confusion on her little face.

"Empress Dowager, someone..." Concubine Wan gritted her teeth and pointed at Jia Wei: "Empress Dowager, Jia Wei molested me!"

Empress Dowager Guo frowned and turned to look at Jia Wei, only to see him standing three meters away, also with a confused look on his face.

"This...why did Concubine Wan say that?"

"Empress Dowager, someone pinched my butt just now!" Concubine Wan was so angry that her eyes were wide open and she blurted out, "Jia Wei is the only one in this palace who knows martial arts. It must be him who did it!"

Jia Wei burst into laughter in his heart, and leaned forward with his hands clasped: "How dare this humble servant disrespect the Imperial Concubine? Please forgive me, Queen Mother! I don't know how this humble servant has offended the Imperial Concubine, and she actually sacrificed her innocence to frame this humble servant..."

Queen Guo was stunned for a second, then turned around and slapped Concubine Wan in the face.

Snapped!
"presumptuous!"

The hairpin on Concubine Wan's head was knocked off. She was confused and looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief.

"Wan! It was because the emperor indulged you too much that you became so lawless and had no rules at all!"

Concubine Wan's face was full of tears. She knelt down and hugged Empress Dowager Guo's legs: "Empress Dowager, everything I said is true... If you don't believe me, ask the Queen. She must have seen it!"

Seeing Empress Dowager Guo looking at her, Empress Zhou also looked confused.

She was in a superior position, so of course she could see everything clearly.

There was indeed a shadow flashing by just now. After a little analysis, I knew that Concubine Wan was not lying...

How dare he!

This is the imperial concubine, the emperor’s woman!
Debauchery in the imperial palace is a crime as serious as treason...

Compared with this, humiliating her in public is nothing.

"Sister Zhou, say something!" Concubine Wan said anxiously.

"Mother, I just saw clearly that the Marquis of Yong'an has been standing there without moving."

Concubine Wan was stunned on the spot. Empress Dowager Guo's face turned black: "Come here, take this stupid woman back to Changchun Palace and put her under house arrest for three months!"

At the order of Empress Dowager Guo, a female official dragged Concubine Wan away. Concubine Wan cried and shouted, cursing Jia Wei.

Jia Wei turned his back and grabbed in the air with one hand. Concubine Wan was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Jia Wei, I want you to die miserably..."

"Take her away quickly!" the Queen Mother said angrily.

After a while, the hall returned to silence. Empress Zhou helped the Queen Mother sit down and said, "Mother, please take care of yourself."

She looked up and met Jia Wei's eyes. She was suddenly startled and quickly lowered her head.

Concubine Wan was used to being arrogant and domineering. She didn't take the queen seriously at all. She even called her "Sister Zhou" just now, which made her very angry.

But this move also seemed to be in collusion with Jia Wei, so Queen Zhou was certainly embarrassed...

Jia Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Don't take what happened just now to heart, Jia Qing." She then scanned the entire room and said, "If anyone dares to reveal even a word, I will not forgive her!"

Jia Yu agreed, and the Queen Mother continued, "Concubine Gong is about to give birth. There can be no mistakes in the palace these days. Thank you, Jia Qing, for your concern."

"Yes."
