Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 422: Punishing a Harem Concubine for Her Immorality

Cining Palace.

"Let her in."

The empress dowager, who was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun with her eyes closed, opened her slightly old eyes.

She had a very hard time in the past two months.

This hardship does not mean that her life is hard, but her heart is hard.

She was in torment every moment, thinking about how Concubine Ye would die.

Now, making Ye Jieyu die, and to make her die a miserable death, has become her obsession.

Originally, the Queen Mother was not going to keep quiet.

Isn't there a war going on ahead?

She also knew that if she caused trouble at this critical moment, she would not end up well even if she was the queen mother.

Her son, the emperor, even killed the deposed empress and Concubine Lin.

She is the empress dowager. The emperor would not kill her for the sake of his reputation, but it is entirely possible that he would cripple her.

So she has been staying in the Cining Palace for the past two months and has not come out.

She also did not allow the limited number of concubines to come and pay their respects.

Especially Ye Jieyu, she can't see her face now.

She was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and die with her.

The Queen Mother felt that it was not worth it if they both died.

She has a long life of wealth and glory, so why should she die with that short-lived Ye Jieyu?

So the Queen Mother was thinking about how Concubine Ye would die every day, and was planning every day...

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Shi Yaoyao came in and interrupted the empress dowager's thoughts.

"Get up."

The Queen Mother smiled at Shi Yaoyao.

But because she is too thin now, this smile seems a little...

How should I put it? It seems a bit unfriendly.

Shi Yaoyao definitely wouldn't care about this.

Now she came to accompany the Queen Mother, which was a routine task she arranged for herself every day.

Because apart from coming here to accompany the Queen Mother, she didn't know what other role she had now.

She has been in the palace for more than a year, but she has not yet served the emperor.

Although Concubine Xu had not yet served the emperor, their situations were different.

And that Concubine Ye was obviously favored by the Emperor, and she even served him in the Yangxin Palace the night before yesterday.

That’s the Yangxin Palace, a place where even the empress cannot stay overnight.

So when she got the news, she was so jealous that she almost suffocated.

Even though she had just walked a long way, her mood still hadn't calmed down.

She must...

We must instigate the Queen Mother to charge Concubine Ye with the crime of committing adultery in the harem.

However, the amount is definitely not enough for her alone.

The Queen Mother has been taught a lesson by Concubine Ye and the Emperor, and has become a little timid.

Didn’t you see her yelling all day long that she wanted Concubine Ye to die, but didn’t see her taking any action?

So she just sent someone to notify Concubine Xu and asked her to come to the Cining Palace as well.

Shi Yaoyao was also worried about Concubine Xu, afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle her stupidity.

She also specifically asked me to tell her if there was anything related to the emperor.

She knew that as long as the emperor was involved, Concubine Xu would not let it go.

Shi Yaoyao sat down below the empress dowager.

Now, she was just waiting for Concubine Xu to come.

"You came a little late today, is there something wrong?"

The Queen Mother asked with her eyes closed.

"I did hear something..."

Shi Yaoyao said hesitantly.

"Oh...what's the matter? Tell me about it."

Later, my mother became interested.

The staff in the Cining Palace now are not the people the Empress Dowager used to employ.

She knew that these people were all the emperor's men, and they came here specifically to look after her.

Including that Nanny Liu.

So she was too lazy to train her own staff again.

This has resulted in her being isolated from the news.

All her sources of information now come from Xu Rou and Shi Yaoyao.

"I heard that Concubine Ye is serving the emperor."

Shi Yaoyao said slowly.

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're talking nonsense. How could the emperor possibly favor that bitch..."

Xu Rou, who had just walked into the yard, screamed.

She rushed to Shi Yaoyao and grabbed her collar.

"Shi Yaoyao, you bitch...you're always talking nonsense. What you said is not true, right?"

Shi Yaoyao looked at Xu Rou's eyes that turned red with anger and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Even if you are unwilling to admit it, Concubine Xu, then Concubine Ye is the one who serves in the bedroom, and..."

She deliberately prolonged the sound.

"And what, you bitch, why don't you just say it quickly..."

Xu Rou was still holding onto Shi Yaoyao's collar and shaking it fiercely.

"Rou'er, take your hands off. Look at yourself now. What do you look like?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses from the shock of hearing that Concubine Ye was serving the emperor, and scolded Xu Rou.

Xu Rou was so angry and so sad.

"Aunt, didn't you hear what Shi Yaoyao said? That bitch Ye Jieyu actually served in bed..."

She couldn't help crying loudly.

"I even slept with that bitch Ye Jieyu, why can't my cousin see my good side?"

Shi Yaoyao looked at this idiot with contempt.

She couldn't bear it anymore and started crying like this.

If she knew, then Concubine Ye was still serving in the Yangxin Palace...

Is this idiot going to faint from crying?

Shi Yaoyao decided to stab Xu Rou's heart again.

It's her fault that he always bullies her by relying on his status.

"That Concubine Ye is still serving in the Yangxin Palace."

Shi Yaoyao spoke slowly while tidying up the clothes that were wrinkled by Xu Rou.

The Queen Mother stood up suddenly and rushed to Shi Yaoyao.

"Are you serious? Is Concubine Ye...really serving in the Yangxin Palace?"

"It's true."

In order to increase credibility, Shi Yaoyao added another sentence.

"Now the whole harem knows about it, except for my Qiuwu Pavilion which is lagging behind..."

She shook her head in annoyance.

"This happened the night before yesterday. I am incompetent and just got the news..."

Shi Yaoyao felt that she had too few people at her disposal, so they were not very useful when it came to getting information.

Xu Rou stopped crying when she heard the news.

However, the makeup on her face was smudged from crying, and she looked very funny.

"Aunt, this bitch Huang Ziye is committing adultery in the harem, we must not let her go..."

It was unclear whether Xu Rou's voice sounded excited or angry.

In short, she looks a little crazy now.

The Queen Mother had returned to the chair she had just sat in.

When she heard Xu Rou's words, she didn't even raise her eyelids.

Her mind is racing right now.

The current situation in the harem is obviously not suitable for anything to happen again.

Even if Concubine Ye violated the ancestral rules, it is not appropriate to make a fuss about it now.

but…

What if it happened in the court?

But where can we find someone who dares to make this matter public in the court?

Seeing that her aunt closed her eyes and didn't say anything, Xu Rou suddenly became anxious.

She knew that her aunt had been severely punished by the Emperor and Concubine Ye.

She is now afraid of that bitch Ye Jieyu.
