Unless they really had evidence.
As for the Empress, although she was a bit overbearing, she wasn't that stupid. She wouldn't rush in knowing that he was here.
It was very likely that it was as they said. This was a scheme set up by Imperial Concubine Xue and Chu Xuanchen to trick the Empress.
Seeing the suspicion in Hongyuan Emperor's eyes, Imperial Concubine Xue's body trembled.
She hurriedly said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty is innocent. This concubine and The Emperor of Li are not familiar with each other, so how could there be a tryst? On the day of the Emperor's birthday, this concubine drank too much wine and sobered up with Amina in the imperial garden. At that time, The Emperor of Li and his wife passed by and this concubine only said hello to them. I never thought that you would misinterpret it as a tryst. "
Speaking up to here, she cried even louder. She pointed at the Empress and stood up, "Elder sister, you're too ruthless! In order to get rid of me, you didn't hesitate to come up with such a vicious scheme to harm me. "
"If you want to condemn someone, why worry about the pretext? You came up with this kind of 'groundless' accusation to frame me. It seems like I can only prove my innocence by dying! "
Saying this, she lovingly looked at Hongyuan Emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. This concubine can't accompany you anymore! You must take care of your body and take care of yourself. If there is a next life, this concubine will serve you again! "
As she spoke, she resolutely crashed into the pillar in the main hall!
"Imperial Concubine Xue!" Seeing this, Hongyuan Emperor suddenly walked over and quickly held Imperial Concubine Xue in his arms.
Seeing Imperial Concubine Xue's painful appearance, his heart was filled with shame.
He had actually suspected her. She was such a pure and kind woman. How could she work with Chu Xuanchen to frame the Empress?
She loved him so much and believed in him, but he didn't believe her.
Thinking of this, his heart felt even more guilty. He quickly hugged Imperial Concubine Xue and said, "Imperial Concubine Xue, don't seek death. Zhen believes in you and only believes in you!"
"Really? Your Majesty, you really believe that this concubine is innocent? "Imperial Concubine Xue's eyes filled with joy.
Hongyuan Emperor quickly nodded, "You're so gentle and kind. If zhen doesn't believe you, then who will?"
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at the Empress and angrily said, "Audacious Empress, you dare to collude with the servants to wrongly accuse Imperial Concubine Xue. You are simply vicious! A woman like you doesn't deserve to be in charge of the six palaces. We will take back your phoenix seal and your authority to control the six palaces. "
"What? Your Majesty, you want to take back this concubine's Phoenix Seal? "The Empress looked at Hongyuan Emperor in disbelief, her body suddenly went soft.
Hongyuan Emperor stared at her maliciously. "Yes, from now on, you can no longer wield the Phoenix Seal. Xue Fei, heed my command. "
Concubine Xue hurriedly said, "I'm here."
"Imperial Concubine Xue, zhen will give the phoenix seal to you. For the time being, zhen will have you take charge of the six palaces. Remember, you have to manage the harem well. You have to lead the six concubines well. You have to be in charge of the etiquette of the harem. Don't disappoint me. "
Imperial Concubine Xue was flattered, "Your Majesty, this concubine is just a small imperial concubine. This concubine is not qualified to be in charge of the harem. This concubine asks Your Majesty to take back this order."
Hongyuan Emperor coldly said, "You are gentle, virtuous, and sensible. If you aren't worthy, then who is? Since you feel that your position as an imperial concubine is not enough to control the six palaces, then we will make you Noble Concubine Xue. This way, you can feel relieved, right? "
"Ah! Your Majesty, you want to make this concubine Noble Concubine? "Imperial Concubine Xue was so excited that she spoke incoherently.
When the Empress and the four concubines heard this, they all had a look of disbelief.
No way!
The Emperor actually made such a young Imperial Concubine Xue a Noble Concubine. She didn't have any children and entered the palace later than everyone else. She didn't have any seniority.
Why was it her?
The Empress immediately said, "Your Majesty, only imperial concubines who give birth to dragon children can be promoted to Noble Concubine. Imperial Concubine Xue has been in the palace for several years without any dragon children. She is not worthy of being a Noble Concubine. "
"The rules are set by people. Even if Imperial Concubine Xue doesn't have any dragon children, if we say she can, then she can. What's wrong, Empress, do you want to go against us? "Hongyuan Emperor warned the Empress.
The Empress was so scared that she quickly lowered her head, "This concubine doesn't dare. But Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xue has no family, no background, and no children. The ministers won't agree to let her become a Noble Concubine. Please reconsider. "
Hearing this, Hongyuan Emperor said maliciously, "We are the Emperor of a country. If we want to make a Noble Concubine, do we have to look at the ministers' faces?"
"This concubine doesn't dare …" The Empress lowered her head even more.
"If you don't dare, then shut up! From now on, you will properly reflect on your actions in the palace. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take half a step out of Ronghua Palace. "
The Empress trembled as she looked up, "Your Majesty, you want to imprison this concubine?"
"For a vicious woman like you, imprisoning your feet is already a light punishment! If it weren't for Yun Yan and Ziling, we would immediately cripple you! "Hongyuan Emperor gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, the Empress' body went soft and she knelt on the ground in fear.
This time, she didn't dare to speak anymore!
She was afraid that if she said too much, she would implicate her children!
She stared at Imperial Concubine Xue with jealousy, her eyes full of resentment.
Imperial Concubines Jing, Shu, De, and Hui saw this and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
Only the master of the harem had the right to control the Phoenix Seal.
They didn't expect the Emperor to favor Imperial Concubine Xue so much that he would let her control the Phoenix Seal.
They also didn't expect the Empress, who was so glorious a moment ago, to fall to such a state in the next moment.
At this time, Hongyuan Emperor glanced at Qing Ying and Xiao Haizi and said, "These two dogs dared to collude with the Empress to harm Imperial Concubine Xue. Guards, take them away and give them 30 strokes as a warning to others!"
"Your Majesty, please spare us, please spare us …" The two hurriedly begged for mercy.
Unfortunately, they were quickly dragged away by the guards.
At this time, Hongyuan Emperor glanced coldly at the concubines and said in a low voice, "Imperial Concubine Xue is now in charge of the harem. In the future, if anyone dares to disrespect her, they will be disrespecting me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this concubine understands!" The four concubines obediently replied.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only obey.
Then, Hongyuan Emperor and Li Jinzhong went to the imperial study.
After they left, Imperial Concubine Xue looked at the Empress kneeling on the ground and sneered, "Sister, I'm really sorry to disappoint you again! I still have matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you! "
After saying this, she coldly left with Amina.
Seeing Imperial Concubine Xue's proud back, the Empress angrily slapped the ground, "Slut!"
She was really unlucky today. She originally wanted to catch Imperial Concubine Xue and Chu Xuanchen's weakness, but she didn't expect Imperial Concubine Xue to benefit instead.
She was really angry!
Right now, the four concubines must be laughing at her. She had lost all face!
If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have called so many concubines here!
Imperial Concubine Shu saw that the Empress was angry and quickly comforted her, "Niangniang, calm down! This Imperial Concubine Xue is a vixen. You are the true master of the harem. Why bother with such a lowly person? "
"That's right. Imperial Concubine Xue actually disguised herself as a eunuch to have a tryst with the Emperor. She is really shameless."
"That's right! We are not as coquettish as her. This foreign vixen is really different! "
"If we were half as shameless as her, we would have already won the Emperor's favor!"
