I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 17
In the past two days, most of the concubines heard that the queen was favored.

Now that the emperor and the empress are intimate and come hand in hand, there is a sour feeling of jealousy in everyone's hearts.

But the concubines hid these emotions very well, with decent smiles on their delicate faces, they all bowed and saluted to welcome the empress.

Xin Zhao took his seat at the main seat, and then glanced at the concubines.

In the original book, there is no mention of how many concubines there are in the harem of the faint emperor.

All the concubines gathered here today, counting them in detail, there are seventy or eighty.

Xin Zhao has almost no impression of these people.

After all the concubines were seated, the corners of Xin Zhao's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since I ascended the throne, I have seldom been involved in matters related to the harem.

But they don't know that the queen has suffered a lot of grievances in this harem. "

The concubines looked at each other, feeling uneasy, and fell into a strange silence.

They are not stupid, the emperor is hosting a banquet tonight, I'm afraid they will come to show off to the empress!
Hearing the emperor's words, many concubines felt sour in their hearts - Bomei people are just happy, so why are you so flattering?Why didn't you treat people like this...

Some concubines thought that they had secretly targeted the queen.

So he began to panic in his heart, restless, wondering if the emperor would find him.

Especially Concubine Xian, who was on pins and needles.

She once collaborated with Concubine Wei to assassinate the queen.

After all, she and the imperial concubine are the favorite concubines who are most likely to occupy that position.

Now, the emperor thoroughly investigates the court ladies and eunuchs, will he find himself?
Concubine Xian was anxious, she no longer wanted to show off at the banquet and attract the attention of the emperor.

Now she wished that the emperor would not notice her!

Su Qingyu was stunned and puzzled.

Xin Zhao held her delicate hand in the palm of his hand, met her blank and innocent eyes, and instantly suppressed the murderous intent and coldness in her eyes, and his eyes were as gentle as spring.

"Yu'er, I will get it back for you tonight for the grievances you suffered before!"

"emperor……"

Su Qingyu was shocked and moved after hearing this, her beautiful eyes were moist.

She never expected that the emperor's banquet tonight was actually for her.

Since entering the palace, Su Qingyu has indeed been targeted a lot, and life is not going well.

Originally, she had resigned herself to her fate.

As soon as she entered the palace gate as deep as the sea, she knew that it was impossible for her to leave this icy prison.

But the emperor thought of her!
His warm embrace gave her hope for the future again.

Su Qingyu felt that as long as the emperor liked her, that was enough.

The grievances that have been suffered by Zeng Jin are no longer important.

But now the emperor said that he would settle accounts for her.

The tip of Su Qingyu's nose was sour, and tears fell down unexpectedly.

"Yu'er, don't cry, I promise, you will never be bullied by others in the future."

Xin Zhao embraced him in his arms and comforted him softly.

By the way, he gave the man in brocade clothes with a sword a look beside him.

Not long after, a group of court ladies and eunuchs were brought over by several imperial guards.

These people are all from various supervisors and bureaus in the palace.

They didn't even know why they were arrested, and when they were brought to face the emperor, they were all panicked and knelt in the banquet hall tremblingly.

"Wan Chao, read it." Xin Zhao said coldly.

This Wanchao is Yuhuatian's confidant.

Because Yu Huatian was injured, Zhao Xin asked him to cooperate with Li Cunxiao to clean up the palace.

The target of Wan Chao's responsibility is the 24 yamen of the eunuch, and Li Cunxiao is in charge of the rest of the guards and maids.

"According to the order!"

Wan Chao spread out the booklet in his hand and read out the contents in a loud voice.

The crimes written on it are all the crimes of these people, and each case is clear and clear.

After Wan Chao finished reading one person, he announced his punishment, ranging from dozens of sticks to death with a stick.

The guards of the Imperial Army immediately stepped forward to drag him down, and then executed the torture outside the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty...have mercy, Your Majesty! The slaves will never dare again! Forgive me..."

The people who were dragged down begged for mercy in panic and panic, and the begging for mercy turned into screams of pain after a while.

Amidst the screams, Wan Chao continued to read in an orderly manner.

The court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling in the arena waiting for the verdict were all trembling and pale.

The concubines present here, those who have done something wrong, their hands and feet are frightened, and they are panicked.

And those who have not done anything bad are envious and in awe of the Queen.

After what happened tonight, no one would dare to disrespect the queen again.

In the banquet hall, the sounds of canes and screams were mixed together.

The night wind blew away the blood, covering the aroma of delicacies.

As eunuchs and maids begging for mercy were screamed and beaten to death, the atmosphere at the banquet became more depressed and panicked.

"Xianfei Huayiyuan, bribed and bought the royal dining room, Eunuch Liu, poisoned the meals eaten by the queen, with the intention of murdering the queen.

Eunuch Liu died with a stick, and the concubine bestowed a white silk! "

Concubine Xian almost fell down with a sway, her pale face could not be covered by her elaborate makeup.

She knelt on the ground with a thump in panic, her head banging loudly, her forehead soon became red and swollen, and she cried out for grievances with tears streaming down her face.

"Your majesty...the concubine did not...the concubine was wronged! Your majesty..."

Xin Zhao's eyes were cold, as if looking at a dead person: "The evidence is so strong, how dare you argue? Drag it on!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Empress... please spare my concubine!" Concubine Xian knelt towards Su Qingyu in despair and panic, crying and begging for mercy, "Empress, please save my concubine..."

Su Qingyu has a kind and gentle disposition, and she couldn't bear the fact that many palace officials were punished or even executed tonight.

"Your majesty, the courtiers and concubines know your intentions, so why not... spare their lives, and change it to a heavy punishment?"

She actually didn't want the emperor to stain his hands with too much blood and commit heavy murders for her.

Because the queen begged for mercy, the guards who dragged Concubine Xian away hesitated for a moment, waiting for the emperor's execution.

In Concubine Xian's desperate eyes, there was a glimmer of hope.

Xin Zhao has no intention of forgiving these people.

It should be killed, it should be punished.

He not only wanted to settle accounts for the queen, but also to establish prestige.

He is the master of this palace, and he will be the real master of the world in the future!
He wants everyone to know that he controls their life and death!
"Yu'er, it's not worth showing compassion for this kind of person!"

There is no doubt in Xin Zhao's words.

Su Qingyu knew that she couldn't change the emperor's mind, so she resisted the idea of ​​pleading, "The concubine listens to the emperor."

"What are you doing in a daze?! The concubine Xian poisoned the queen, this crime is unforgivable!"

Seeing that Concubine Xian was finally dragged down, some concubines were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Even when Wan Chao read the name of another concubine, some people fainted from fright.

In the corner of the imperial garden, screams continued, almost the same as the scene in Yong'an Palace during the day.

The bleak and cold moonlight fell on the table full of delicious food surrounded by the fire.

Everything is full of violations!

Until Wanchao's roster is finished...

All the eunuchs and maids who were brought up were punished as they should.

Among the concubines and concubines who came to the banquet, there were only thirty or so of them sitting on the table intact.

These concubines have never targeted the queen, nor have they violated palace rules.

Among these people, Xin Zhao selected a few good-looking ones who were not touched by the Hunjun and who had high loyalty and stayed.

The rest, all their titles were cut off, and they were reduced to palace servants.

As for those concubines who committed crimes, they were either sent to the cold palace or sent to the imperial temple.

After dealing with these people, Xin Zhao got up and said: "All along, the affairs of the six palaces have been in charge of by the empress, but now the empress is in poor health, and she is unable to deal with these complicated matters.

From then on, the affairs of the Six Palaces will all be taken care of by the empress! "
