After hearing this, Wang finally collapsed on the ground in despair and powerlessness, her face no longer having the rosy look she had at the banquet.

Her eyes were empty and confused, as if they had lost focus, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.

Ningxiang behind her saw this and hurried forward to support her.

"Miss!"

Wang's body was trembling slightly. She looked even more lonely and weak under the bright candlelight coming from the Changshou Palace, and she cried silently on the cold ground.

"Your Majesty, have you ever believed me for a moment?" Wang asked with tears in her eyes, looking at the emperor's extremely cold face at the main seat at the banquet table.

"How can I trust you?" Gu Junshen sneered.

"Two months ago, I saw Concubine Song copying the longevity invitation. She copied it very carefully under the dim candlelight. But you took away her credit in the end! You even claimed that you wrote it yourself!"

"Okay! Let me ask you! You just explained your writing experience in front of all the guests with reason and evidence. Did you feel the slightest bit of shame? I was sitting at the table listening to your hypocritical words, and my face was already filled with shame!"

Gu Junshen shook his head in disappointment.

The prerequisite for making people believe you is that there is really no flaw in what you do.

What Wang had planned happened two months ago. How can you believe it?

"Your Majesty! I was wrong! I was bewitched!" Wang knelt on the floor of Changshou Palace and begged for forgiveness.

"Now that you have done this kind of thing at my birthday banquet, it can't be solved by just saying you were wrong. You have destroyed my respect for the Buddha. You are truly unforgivable!" The Queen Mother could no longer suppress her anger. She stood up, pointed at Wang and said in a majestic tone.

"Shen'er! How do you think we should solve this problem?" The Queen Mother asked Gu Junshen with a serious face.

"Since you have ruined your birthday ceremony, mother, you have the final say." Gu Jun looked at Wang deeply and said in a slightly ruthless tone.

"Okay! In that case..." Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Gu Junshen spoke again in a deep voice, "Mother! After all, Wang gave birth to a princess for me. She also stayed with me in the palace for six years! Please give me a lighter punishment!"

Gu Junshen still felt a little reluctant and decided to leave some leeway for Wang.

In his mind, if he said nothing about his mother's methods, Wang's fate would be unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at the frightened little figure beside Wang with a little thought.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "Wang has lost his moral character! He deceived the emperor! He is ordered to stay in Chengqian Palace! Wait for the punishment!"

After hearing this, Wang's expression looked a little better, but she was still in a rather dishevelled state. The bun on her head had become loose, with countless strands of hair hanging down on her cheeks, making her look particularly miserable.

Her daughter, Princess Yong'an, saved her again.

"Mother! Why did the Royal Grandmother put you under house arrest?" Princess Yong'an shrank behind Wang in fear and asked in confusion.

"Mother is feeling a little unwell. The Empress Dowager wants you to have a good rest." Wang stroked her hair and said kindly.

"Then why are they so angry? Why is father so mean to you? An'er is scared!" Princess Yong'an said timidly.

"Don't be afraid, An'er! Father and grandmother will not hurt An'er." Wang comforted softly.

Yong'an was already frightened by the Emperor and the Queen Mother's anger towards her just now. She couldn't help but regret having done this, causing her young daughter to suffer such anger.

Gu Junshen looked at the loving scene between mother and daughter below and turned his head away with some heartache.

The Queen Mother returned to her bedroom feeling somewhat depressed.

……

When Song Nanxiang returned to Wangyueju, she felt exhausted.

The most tiring thing in the world is to maintain your demeanor at a banquet and to be careful about your words and actions at all times.

Especially Gu Jintang's attitude towards her today could be written into a play about the emperor's sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

Fortunately, Nanxiang has strong self-control.

You have to know that Gu Jintang is as handsome and passionate as Gu Junshen, but since Gu Jintang lives outside the palace, he has more freedom and casualness. The burden on him is not as heavy, and he has a more romantic air.

"My lady! I heard from the eunuch who came back from Changshou Palace that the imperial concubine was under house arrest. It seemed like she had committed some crime!" Caiyun said as she trotted into the inner hall with a look of smugness on her face.

"Oh? It happened so soon?" Nanxiang sounded a little surprised after hearing this.

She thought that considering Gu Junshen's feelings towards Wang, this matter would be handled coldly, that is, he would no longer be so fond of Wang, or even respond coldly.

But now it seems that Gu Junshen is not that deeply in love with Wang, and he actually put her under house arrest.

I guess the concubines in the harem must be confused and puzzled at this time.

"My lady, do you know what it is?" Caiyun asked with some confusion.

"You actually know about this. It's just been so long that you forgot it." Nanxiang reminded him slightly.

"I know that too?" Caiyun looked even more confused when she heard that.

"Didn't I copy the longevity invitation for the imperial concubine? I guess something must have happened."

"Oh! I remember now. No wonder the young lady accepted the imperial concubine's rude request at that time. So this is her intention!" Caiyun said happily after she figured it out.

Nanxiang just smiled when she heard this. When she accepted the imperial concubine's request, she really didn't think so far.

But I thought of it after returning to Wangyueju.

The best way to bring down Wang is to damage her character and image in front of the emperor.

The last time she deliberately let Gu Junshen see her copying the longevity invitation, it was simply to tell him that this longevity invitation was written by her, Song Nanxiang, and had nothing to do with Wang.

Wang brought out the already-revealed Wanshou invitation at the Empress Dowager's birthday party, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Emperor.

If Gu Junshen protects Wang at this time and turns a blind eye to her contributions, then it would be better not to have this man.

Fortunately, Gu Junshen is a relatively upright person.

She wanted to show the picture of goldfish leaping over bamboo in front of Wang, and dressed up gorgeously, also to attract Gu Junshen's attention at the banquet, so that he would remember the longevity invitation she had written earlier.

"My young master! Wang has finally been punished. She made you kneel in the snow for three hours and almost injured you. She really deserves it!" Caiyun began to feel indignant when she thought of what her young master had encountered when she first entered the palace.

Nan Xiang laughed in her heart when she heard this. She knew all kinds of dirty things would happen in the palace before she entered it.

However, she has always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me. As long as those concubines do not offend her, she will not deliberately design to frame others.

If Wang had not been so domineering at the time and had not insisted on giving her a warning, punishing her so unreasonably and causing her to be ridiculed by the concubines as soon as she entered the palace, she would not have ended up under house arrest now.

As the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
