In early autumn, it is late at night and cold.

In Zhongcui Palace's dormitory, the candlelight was lit until dawn.

Zheng Jieyu stood by the window and looked out the window with a wooden look. She was wearing only a thin middle robe and without shoes and socks on her feet. She stood barefoot in front of the window all night.

The palace maid who was vigilant advised the master to put on his coat, but he couldn't persuade him and was driven out.

As expected, Zheng Jieyu, who had been blowing a cool breeze all night, had cold hands and feet and red faces and her forehead was hot at dawn.

"Empress," two personal palace maids held Zheng Jieyu on the left and right, and their voices were anxious and choked: "Why did Empress do your body like this?"

Concubine Zheng looked bleak and said nothing.

This look makes people feel sour and bitter. It is better to smash a few sets of tea bowls and exude anger in your heart as before.

The palace maids helped Zheng Jieyu to the bed and lay down, and then asked him to go to the imperial physician Xuan.

As a result, before the imperial physician came, Eunuch Zhao, who was delivering the imperial edict, came first.

"... When the imperial concubine Zheng was in charge of palace affairs, he neglected the palace affairs and suffered losses in his personal morality. From today on, he would be removed from the imperial concubine's position and demoted to Jiexian, and rest in Zhongcui Palace. He would not be allowed to leave Zhongcui Palace for half a step..."

Zheng Jieyu, who was kneeling on the ground, had a pale face and her body trembled: "I thanked the emperor."

Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord.

As the emperor, if you want to control the ministers, you must use some means of giving both kindness and power. In the harem, it is easy to pamper or deal with any concubine.

A single imperial edict is enough.

Eunuch Zhao was used to seeing the beautiful, enchanting and charming Concubine Zheng. At this time, she felt a little sad when she saw her ending in such a miserable end.

However, the harem has always been like this. The concubines who were angry and rejected by the emperor and were almost never given a chance to turn around. Concubine Zheng is very dependent on the eldest prince and the fourth prince as a support.

Concubine Zheng received the imperial edict, stood up barely, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Zhao, the eldest prince and the fourth prince went to Baohe Palace last night. I wonder if the emperor has seen them."

Eunuch Zhao did not hide it, and replied in a low voice: "The Emperor has not seen you."

Zheng Jieyu's face turned pale again.

After Eunuch Zhao left, Concubine Zheng could not hold on and felt dizzy and fell down.

...

"What did you say? The emperor really sent an order to go to Zhongcui Palace early in the morning?" Gu Shufei was shocked and suddenly stood up and looked at Concubine Wei Xian: "The emperor is so ruthless to Concubine Zheng?"

That is the imperial concubine Zheng who has been favored and raised two princes in the harem!

Why did you suddenly lose your favor and be so harshly blamed?

Concubine Wei's eyes were full of gloating and pulled up the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it? She has been so popular for more than ten years, and she became Concubine Zheng overnight. I heard that she cried all night and fell down after receiving the imperial edict in the morning. Doctor Zhou was Xuan and went to Zhongcui Palace, but she has not come out yet. She probably hasn't woken up yet."

He paused and whispered, "I heard that Princess Shouning was sent out of the palace overnight last night and went to the princess's mansion. He left so urgently, something must have happened."

Concubine Gu Shu and Concubine Wei Xian looked at each other and had a vague guess in their hearts.

However, it is fine to have a clear understanding of the matter in the world, but it is not appropriate to tell it.

Especially Concubine Gu, who also has a daughter, was even more reluctant to say this, and brought the topic back to the topic: "Has Concubine Zheng not woke up yet?"

Concubine Wei Xian's eyes flashed with pleasure: "It's almost impossible to wake up. Even if she wakes up, she can't leave the bedroom."

Over the years, Concubine Zheng has been incredibly glorious in the harem. Even Empress Pei was suppressed. She, the virtuous concubine, could only retreat and feel so frustrated.

Seeing the tall building, the building collapsed. Concubine Zheng has now become Concubine Zheng and is locked in Zhongcui Palace. Unless the eldest prince is appointed as the crown prince, Concubine Zheng will find it difficult to turn over again...

But the eldest prince has been favored for many years, but isn’t it because of his biological mother? Now that Concubine Zheng has been severely punished, the eldest prince will also lose his momentum. It is definitely not easy to fight for the throne.

The more Wei Xianfei thought about it, the happier she was, and she laughed in a low voice: "In the past, you and I have suffered a lot of her silence. Now, the feng shui has changed. When we have free time, how about we go to Zhongcui Palace to "visit the disease" together?"

Concubine Gu: "..."

Concubine Gu's eyes were quite complicated. She glanced at Concubine Wei Xian and said softly: "It's her today. Maybe you and I will have a day to anger Tianyan in the future. Why bother to take the blame?"

Concubine Wei Xian: "..."

Concubine Wei was choked and gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it! You are the good person, I am the villain who loves to take advantage of the situation and gloat. If you don't go, I will go by myself!"

After saying that, he threw off the veil, snorted, got up and left.

Before Gu Shufei could see her off, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then turned into a sad sigh.

Most of the concubines in the harem were born in generals. Only she was the daughter of a civil servant. After more than ten years in the palace, she has always been cautious and low-key, cautious and tolerant, fearing that she would not be able to walk. She did not have much contact with other concubines on weekdays.

Concubine Wei is cautious and loves to hold grudges. She likes to talk about gossip most behind her back. However, the palace is long and long and lonely. Concubine Wei often comes to talk to her, and the relationship between them is quite good.

Today, she has completely offended Concubine Wei Xian.

...

"Mother," Princess Corning walked over quietly and asked in a low voice: "Has the eldest sister really left the palace to go to the princess's mansion?"

Concubine Gu came to her senses, nodded, and whispered: "Just know about this, don't talk nonsense, don't ask too much."

Princess Corning held a wedding ceremony two months ago, and her appearance gradually grew, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and gentleness. Hearing this, nodded obediently: "I have recorded all the words of Mother's mother."

Concubine Gu cheered up and said, "You go to the Jiaofang Hall with your mother to pay your respects!"

Princess Corning responded softly.

The mother and daughter went to the Jiaofang Hall together.

Queen Pei had a faint green shadow at the moment, and obviously she didn't sleep well that night: "There are no outsiders here, just sit down and talk."

Concubine Gu Shu hurriedly smiled and thanked her for taking her seat.

Empress Pei's eyes first flew over Princess Corning's pretty face, and then fell on Concubine Gu Shu's gentle and quiet face: "You know about Concubine Zheng, you should also know!"

Concubine Gu hesitated for a moment before responding in a low voice: "Yes, I have heard of it."

Empress Pei's voice was still calm and gentle: "The emperor trusted her and handed over all the palace affairs to her. But she was too selfish and failed the emperor's trust. Only when the emperor was angry would he be severely punished."

"After today, she has to rest in Zhongcui Palace. I have to accompany me all the time, and my body is not strong. The palace affairs are cumbersome, so I have to find someone to help me."

The meaning of the words is very strong.

Concubine Gu was stunned at first, and subconsciously looked up at Empress Pei.
