Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 442 The Fifth Princess (2)
"Your Majesty understands what our family means." Yang Yong sneered.

"I don't understand..." Concubine Huo Xian gritted her teeth as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Yang Yong's expression was a little impatient, he interrupted her directly, and said coldly: "You will know right away, Concubine Xian will accept the order!"

Concubine Xian could only kneel down in panic.

"The emperor has a decree that the Huo family is a worthy concubine, but her morals are bad, her heart is vicious, she spreads rumors, and her reputation is ruined. She is really not worthy of being a concubine. Her title and concubine position will be immediately deprived, and she will be sent to the cold palace immediately as a punishment. "

After Yang Yong finished speaking, he didn't even look at the concubine who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, unable to recover, and directly ordered: "Come here, take off Huo's clothes, and immediately escort him to Ganxi No. [-]."

Your Majesty ordered that it be carried out immediately without delay.

Ganxi Wusuo is still in the north of the West Sixth Palace, in the northeast corner of the imperial palace, which is the so-called Lenggong. I don’t know how many concubines have been imprisoned, and even a deposed empress was imprisoned. One more she is not more, one less her There are quite a few, but after entering, very few can come out.

"No, I don't believe it. I am Chang Wuhou's younger sister, His Majesty's personal concubine, you can't do this!"

Concubine Xian, no, Huo Shi protected her clothes, and immediately retreated again and again in fright, but where could she retreat!As a weak woman, she couldn't resist those eunuchs who were like wolves and tigers, and she was finally suppressed.

The little eunuch stepped forward to tear off her phoenix crown mercilessly, and stripped off her robes and long-sleeved blouse, leaving only the white middle sheet. Immediately, a strong sense of shame and insult rose in Huo's heart. It made her almost collapse, she struggled and cried, "No, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor, I was framed, Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged..."

"Niang Niang—" Hanxue cried and wanted to go forward to save Huo Shi, but was kicked aside by the little eunuch.

He glanced at Hanxue and said: "This palace lady is Huo's confidant, she has helped the tyrant a lot, and she was directly killed!"

If Huo Shi can't take care of himself, how can he take care of the life of his confidant, the palace lady?Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, she couldn't care less about anything, so she broke the jar and shouted directly: "Eunuch Yang, I don't accept it, I want to see your majesty, the queen and concubine also interfered, why did you only punish me?" One person, I am not convinced..."

The reason why she dared to do it was because the law does not blame the public.She didn't believe that His Majesty would really catch the queen and the fourth concubine in one go.

Yang Yong said with a malicious smile: "The empress did not intervene in this matter at all. As for the others, don't worry, no matter who intervenes, His Majesty will not let it go easily. There is nothing in this world that can be concealed." His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and asked someone to drag away Huo Shi who was struck by lightning.

The queen has always talked but never acted, and rarely left any excuses for others, and this time it was the same.Although the other three concubines also made moves, they were just adding fuel to the flames. Moreover, they were very cautious, and stopped immediately as soon as they realized something was wrong. Therefore, only Huo Shi was the one who really took action.

But the Huo family only entrusted the matter to Mrs. Changwu Houtai, but she didn't know that Mrs. Changwu Houtai was old and had limited energy, and her control and influence in the Houfu were not as good as Before that, the power of Marquis Changwu Mansion would not be used at all.If Huo Yuan did it, he would never be noticed so easily, and the rumors could not be controlled so quickly.

Yang Yong went to Qinzheng Hall to report to His Majesty.

On the day Concubine Xian was arrested, Concubine Hu Gui was ordered to be grounded for a year. During the grounding period, no one was allowed to visit her, and she was not allowed to go out. Only her personal servants were there to serve her.

Concubine Zhou De and Concubine Sun Shu were both fined to copy scriptures for one month, and they were not allowed to rest for three hours a day except sleeping and eating.

In one day, the four concubines were all punished.

The entire harem was panicked, wishing to behave like a human being with their tails between their legs. Someone who was smart had already guessed the reason why the fourth concubine was punished, so the previous little thoughts could not help but be put aside.

Even the fourth concubine is like this, so why other people?
The only one who was not punished was the empress, but she was reprimanded by someone sent by the emperor.

This was the first time that Empress Ning had been registered as empress. It immediately made Empress Ning lose face and her prestige was greatly reduced. Moreover, it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see that Empress has lost her sacred heart.

In the past, even if Empress Ning was not favored, the emperor had at least a third of respect for her, but now, it is obvious that she has been completely rejected by His Majesty.

If the emperor didn't need her to take care of the harem, she would definitely be a part of those who were imprisoned.

As soon as night fell, the Kunning Palace was filled with an atmosphere of depression, grief, and even despair.

Empress Ning lay on the bed in a daze, as if the energy in her body had been sucked away at once.

At this time, after taking off her makeup, her face was sallow and tired, with a few gray hairs faintly visible in her hair, she looked several years older than usual.

Today, after the emperor sent someone to scold her angrily, Empress Ning couldn't help but vomited blood and fell ill immediately.

This punishment may seem insignificant, but in fact, every sentence is poked in her heart, and she is said to be cruel and evil-minded, and she does not deserve the word "virtuous queen".

She hates it in her heart!Could it be that she has worked so hard to take care of his harem for so many years and bear children for him, but she is not as good as the woman who served Israel?
For her, even the reputation she managed to manage was ruined!
Why?Just because she is younger and more beautiful than her?

It's so funny!
Empress Ning was disheartened, and felt that her efforts to maintain her reputation and image for so many years were like a joke.

No matter how good her reputation is, so what if she is virtuous?In his heart, he couldn't match that person's finger at all, and he wouldn't let her look at him more.

She is not reconciled, she is really not reconciled!

Even, she still has some regrets.

She calculated everything and managed step by step to force herself to sit firmly in the back seat and protect her two children.But what about Mrs. Chu!She doesn't have to do anything at all, because His Majesty will settle everything for her.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed jealous of her.

If at the beginning, she was willing to work harder on His Majesty to make His Majesty like her more, instead of pretending to be magnanimous and concentrating on managing her own reputation, would things be different?

Unfortunately, no one gave her an answer.

"Your Majesty—" High Nanny softly called Empress Ning, who was distracted.

Empress Ning's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Nanny Gao.

"Fifth Princess sees you coming." Gao Nanny said softly.

The fifth princess is the daughter of the queen, who is just seven years old now.
