Consort Xian did not expect the emperor to punish her for such a small matter. Just as she was about to speak, the emperor ordered the guards to gag her again.
Even though Consort Xian was indignant, she was already speechless. She had already been dragged away by the guards.
The farce ended just like that. The emperor looked at Ning Yue. “I wonder if Princess Mingyue is satisfied with this outcome?”
“What do you mean by that, Emperor? Wasn’t she punished because she made a mistake? Also, this concubine lying on the ground seems to have done something wrong, so she was punished by the Empress, right?”
The emperor was almost speechless. He said, “Yes, one has to be punished for a mistake.”
There was a deeper meaning to his words, but she didn’t know what he meant.

“Alright, Uncle Emperor, please allow us to leave. We’re going to see Xiaobao and Xiaobei.”
Then, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying bowed to the emperor and left.
The emperor stood rooted to the ground in anger, and the empress did not dare to go forward and provoke him.
“Empress, you should interfere in the harem. You can’t let a woman like Consort Xian stay in the harem.” With that, the emperor turned around and left.
The Empress stood rooted to the ground in a daze. What did the emperor mean by that? What did he mean by not letting a woman like Consort Xian stay in the harem?
Wasn’t the decision to let Consort Xian stay in the harem made by the emperor? How did it become her responsibility as the empress?
Unable to figure it out, the empress didn’t hesitate anymore. She turned around and left.
She thought about what had happened today and wanted to know what had gone wrong. Why had Ning Yue and Jiang Ying appeared in front of Concubine Shun?
Although Consort Xian would instruct Concubine Shun to do things, she knew that her family was gone. She had always been cautious in the harem. Suddenly, this happened. There must be a small interlude that she did not know.
The Empress took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and left.
After she returned to the bedroom, the first thing she did was call the crown prince consort over. She told her everything that had happened today.
The crown prince consort was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the empress in disbelief. “Mother, really? Consort Xian and Consort Shun were both punished?”
“Why would I lie to you? This matter has blown up quite a bit today. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself,” the empress said angrily.
“No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. I didn’t say that I didn’t believe you. I’m just very curious why Father suddenly dealt with Consort Xian. Didn’t he dote on her very much?”
“I called you here for this matter. The Emperor has always doted on Consort Xian very much, and he often warns her that her mother’s family is gone. She can’t be as willful as before. Ever since something happened to the Marquis of An’s Residence, Consort Xian has indeed been quite quiet. She has always been peaceful. Even if she is unhappy, she will hold it in.”

Consort Xian was already angry. Not only was she angry, but she also hated Ning Yue.
Getting Consort Xian to apologize to Ning Yue was humiliating.
It was impossible for Consort Xian to apologize to Ning Yue, so this happened to her today.
The emperor even said something about the harem. It seemed that someone was tired of living.
The empress took a deep breath and looked at the crown prince consort. “From now on, you and the crown prince will live together. You can do whatever you want with the harem.”
The crown prince consort was even more puzzled. The empress’s behavior today was a little strange. What did she mean by this? Did she mean what she thought?
“Mother, do you mean that Father…” The crown prince consort did not finish her sentence. She believed that the empress understood.
“I don’t mean anything. As the crown prince consort and the future empress, the crown prince has protected you very well all these years. You can’t continue like this. You have to come into contact with the harem early. I believe that with your intelligence, these won’t be a problem. Also, you have to remember that no matter what, you have to prioritize the crown prince.”
“Yes, thank you for your guidance, Mother.” The crown prince consort stood up and bowed to the empress.
