QT: TPE Chapter 36.1

Sure enough, when he went to deliver the imperial decree, Gui Fei broke down and rushed at him like a madwoman.

“How could His Majesty possibly depose me? How could that be? His Majesty would never imprison me! Is it you, the servant dog, who forged the imperial edict? Tell me, you lowly servant!! I must see His Majesty!!”

Even though Gui Fei had lost favor, Chief Eunuch Zhang, out of consideration for Princess Minghua, dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

According to him, Gui Fei was not much more noble than he; she was just the daughter of a minor official who was simply lucky enough to give birth to a princess.

Thanks to her good fortune, she ran rampant in the palace for over a decade, and at least dozens of palace concubines, maids, and eunuchs died at her hands.

Gui Fei even looked down on him for being lowly, while even De Fei, a favored concubine from a high-ranking family, never showed him any disdain.

Originally, thanks to the Princess, Gui Fei’s good fortune could have continued, but unfortunately, she insisted on harming the Emperor’s favorite concubine.

His Majesty didn’t care about those people in the past; they were less important to him than cats and dogs. But this one was the apple of His Majesty’s eye.

What’s more, this beloved De Fei was pregnant with the Emperor’s child.

It just so happened that the discovery was made at this very moment, not long after Gui Fei had taken action.

For the safety of the imperial heir and the favored concubine, Gui Fei naturally had to be confined.

The problem was that Gui Fei had already used up all her luck.

“Your Majesty, this servant was merely relaying the imperial edict. This is truly His Majesty’s decree; how could this servant dare to forge it?”

Gui Fei snatched the imperial edict. Princess Minghua also stepped forward to look at it together.

“Minghua, your father really does know. He knows I was the one who did it, but that bitch Xu Shi, that bitch is unharmed, isn’t she? It’s me who’s disfigured!! Why?? Why is His Majesty so heartless toward me!!”

Gui Fei burst into tears.

Princess Minghua felt distressed. She was also bewildered at that moment, wondering why her father would punish her mother.

Doesn’t Father care about her?

She is Father’s only daughter, and now her mother has become a deposed concubine. How can Father save face for her?

“No, I must go find His Majesty! I must go find His Majesty!!”

Gui Fei rushed out, but the guards brought by Chief Eunuch Zhang stopped her.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty means that you must not step out of the palace from now on.”

“You insolent lackey!”

Princess Minghua kicked him directly.

Chief Eunuch Zhang took the kick hard, but he dared not complain. After all, it was the Princess who kicked him, the master of this palace.

However, if De Fei gives birth to a prince, the Princess will be dumbfounded. At that time, she will no longer dare to be arrogant and do such a thing.

“Princess, spare me!” Chief Eunuch Zhang immediately knelt down.

“Princess, as you know, I was only following orders.”

“Mother, I’m going to find Father and ask him for clarification.” Princess Minghua ran out.

Gui Fei grabbed her hand, which she held tightly, her face streaked with tears as she pleaded, “Minghua, you must, you absolutely must, plead for Mother. Please remember, don’t let your father depose me.”

“Don’t worry, Mother.”
