When the current Concubine De knew that the fetus in her belly could not be saved, she planned to use it against Bei Yutang. Before she could succeed, she was ruined by Concubine Liang.
Concubine De was angry, so she vented all her anger on Concubine Liang.
“I didn’t even see the child, and it just disappeared. My heart hurts so much. Your Majesty must be blaming me for not protecting him. My poor baby.” Concubine De was crying sadly.
Concubine De looked pitiful with her tears like pear blossoms in the rain. Even though she was crying, she was still beautiful and showed no signs of embarrassment. “Your Majesty, you must make the decision for this concubine and my baby.”
“Okay, okay. Don’t be sad.” Nan Shaotian said and looked at Xia Yuwei. When he saw her pale face, he felt a burst of pity in his heart.
Yuwei is a kind-hearted woman and will definitely not do such a thing.
Nan Shaotian believed in her innocence in his heart, but he still had to show his face, otherwise, he would not be able to justify it.
“Concubine Liang, what do you have to say?” Nan Shaotian asked.
Xia Yuwei straightened her back, feeling hurt as she watched him question her. A wry smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, “I met Sister Concubine De in the garden. I accidentally picked up a pebble under my feet and bumped into my sister. I don’t know that my sister is pregnant. In any case, this matter is related to me. I am willing to be punished.”
With that said, Xia Yuwei knelt down.
Nan Shaotian felt heartbroken when he saw her like this. Only then did he realize that he had not seen her for a long time, and he felt guilty and distressed.
“This time you made an unintentional mistake. I will punish you by copying scriptures and be banned for a month.”
When Xia Yuwei heard this punishment, a light flashed across her eyes.
She knew that as long as she took the initiative to admit her mistake, as long as she compromised and showed weakness, Shaotian would definitely not ignore her. Xia Yuwei’s depression for many days was relieved this time.
When Concubine De heard this punishment, she was naturally unhappy and said, “Your Majesty.”
She wanted to say something else, but a pair of Nan Shaotian’s cold eyes scared her so much that she did not dare to say anything more, but there was a surge of anger in her heart.
Why? Why did the life of one of her royal children only allow this unpopular woman to receive such a painless punishment?
Concubine De was unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey the Emperor, so she could only put this account on Xia Yuwei’s head.
Chenxiao Palace and Jingren Palace received the news immediately that day. Bei Yutang was not surprised at all when she heard it. On the contrary, Jin Chai, Jin Zhuo, and others were confused.
“Your Majesty, do you think the punishment for Concubine Liang is too light?”
“Yes, it’s too light.” There was an enigmatic smile on Bei Yutang’s lips.
Jingren Palace—
Concubine Shu drank tea and listened to the reports from the people below. Her face was calm as usual, making it impossible for outsiders to see clearly what she was thinking in her heart.
“Your Majesty, is the Emperor’s punishment for Concubine Liang too light?” The eldest maid next to Concubine Shu whispered.
“Yeah, it’s too light.”
There was a strange color in Concubine Shu’s eyes.
At first, she was still a little unsure, but now it seems to be true. Unexpectedly, in this harem, the first person to see the situation clearly was not her, nor Concubine De. It was Concubine Chen whom they had always looked down upon.
She had to admit that she had made a mistake, whether it was Concubine Chen or Concubine Liang.
