A few nights ago when she went to Chengqian Palace, Xu Xiyue deliberately exposed her whereabouts and was seen by palace servants leaving Tinglanxuan, but no one knew where she went.

Concubine Shen had many spies in the palace, and Concubine Shen soon found out that she secretly left Tinglanxuan every night.

So Concubine Shen sent people to keep an eye on Tinglanxuan to see what Xu Xiyue did when she went out every night.

However, Xu Xiyue did not go out tonight. Instead, a man quietly entered Tinglanxuan and has not come out since then.

When the palace servants saw this situation, they naturally thought that Xu Xiyue was having an affair with someone, and quickly reported it to Concubine Shen, who then came to catch them.

"My Lady, you can't go in. There's no adulterer in there!"

Luoluo's arms were tightly held by two palace maids. The more anxiously she shouted, the more Concubine Shen was certain that there was an adulterer in the room, and she stared at the door with an especially fierce look.

Xu Xiyue, this time, I can finally sentence you to death, let’s see how you can turn things around.

"Bump away!"

Concubine Shen shouted loudly, and the door was pushed open by the eunuch. She led the people into the room aggressively.

Seeing this, Luluo sneered, pushed away the palace maid who was holding her, and ran into the house pretending to stop Concubine Shen.

Lin Yuejiao stood in the yard and watched, and couldn't help laughing. This girl Luluo has some acting skills.

"Your Highness, please wait. It will offend you, Your Highness..."

"Go away!"

Concubine Shen slapped Luoluo to the ground, thinking that the noble person Luoluo was talking about was Xu Xiyue, and sneered.

"My dear lady? This little bitch Xu Xiyue will always be the mud under my feet."

After saying that, he rushed around the screen and into the inner room, and saw Xu Xiyue hurriedly lying on the bed in her underwear.

"The royal concubine..."

There was a man's figure in the curtain. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but seeing Xu Xiyue's nervous and helpless look, Concubine Shen was certain that the man was the adulterer.

"Xu Da Ying, you are so bold that you dare to have an affair with someone in the harem even though you are pregnant. Could it be that the child you are pregnant with is not the emperor's, but the adulterer's? Oh! In this case, I can only execute you and rectify the harem. Come, catch the adulterer."

"My Lady, you can't..."

Xu Xiyue was dragged away by the palace maid, and two eunuchs stepped forward to lift the curtain.

At this moment, a stern shout came from the couch, "Noble Concubine Shen, you are so brave!"

The emperor suddenly opened the curtain and glared at Concubine Shen.

"emperor?"

How could it be the Emperor...

Concubine Shen was stunned, and the palace maids were so frightened that they knelt down in panic, trembling and not daring to breathe.

The emperor came to Tinglanxuan secretly and did not let Eunuch Zhang follow him.

If Eunuch Zhang followed, when Concubine Shen saw him, she would definitely know that the person in Xu Xiyue's room was the emperor, so she would not dare to "catch the adulterer".

At this time, Concubine Shen also realized that she had been tricked by Xu Xiyue, and she glared at Xu Xiyue hatefully.

Damn bitch, she looks cowardly and incompetent on weekdays, but she dared to plot to harm her.

Concubine Shen was so angry that she dug her nails into her palms, but it was too late to regret.

The emperor got off the bed, walked to Concubine Shen, and stared at her coldly: "Who do you think is the adulterer? Hmm?"

"emperor!"

Concubine Shen's expression suddenly changed, and she knelt down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Hmph! You are becoming more and more lawless. Do you still have me in your eyes? Shen Yurou, don't think that I won't punish you just because the Queen Mother is protecting you!"

The emperor's cold words hurt Concubine Shen's heart. She said unwillingly, "Your Majesty, I am also worried that Xu Yingying will commit adultery in the harem... Your Majesty knew that Xu Yingying was a criminal, so why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

You must report to the emperor where he is going? Concubine Shen is courting death!

Lin Yuejiao sat by the window watching the show with great interest, wondering how the emperor would deal with Concubine Shen.

The emperor was furious. "It is not your turn to point fingers at me when I go, and it is not your turn to usurp the empress's power to handle matters in the harem. You, the imperial concubine, are not worthy of your position. From today on, you will be demoted to Shenpin."

Hearing the voice, Xu Xiyue's eyes flickered slightly and she glanced at the emperor secretly.

It seemed that the emperor was really angry. He demoted Concubine Shen two levels without caring about the empress dowager's face.

Concubine Shen couldn't believe it. She collapsed and grabbed the emperor's clothes and cried, "How can the emperor treat me like this? As a concubine, I assist the queen in handling the affairs of the harem. What's wrong with that? What's more, I am a concubine. Can't I just do something to a mere promise?"

"Agree? Okay..." The emperor was probably furious, his eyes were red, "Since you like to bully others so much, then I will pardon Xu Ying's crime, make her a pure concubine, and let her live in Changle Palace."

At the command, everyone was shocked.

Lin Yuejiao also found it unbelievable. The emperor not only pardoned Xu Xiyue's crime, but also promoted her to the position of concubine, and a concubine with a title, which was higher than the rank of Concubine Shen, no, Concubine Shen. With her personality, she would definitely not be able to accept it.

As expected, Concubine Shen collapsed on the spot, crying and complaining about why Xu Xiyue could be on an equal footing with her, and accusing the emperor of favoring Xu Xiyue and disregarding palace rules.

The emperor was furious and ordered his men to take her back to Shaohua Palace. He also ordered that Concubine Shen was not allowed to leave Shaohua Palace without his permission.

Eunuch Zhang rushed over after hearing the news and saw Concubine Shen being dragged away. He shook his head.

Concubine Shen was arrogant and domineering, and the emperor had long wanted to punish her. However, she did not know how to restrain herself and even dared to treat the emperor as her adulterer, which was courting her own death.

After Concubine Shen made such a fuss, the emperor had no interest in staying in Tinglanxuan. He comforted Xu Xiyue with a few words and left.

When everyone left, Tinglanxuan suddenly became quiet.

Xu Xiyue took the handkerchief and gently touched Luoluo's swollen cheek, frowning and asking, "Does it hurt?"

Luoluo shook her head, her face no longer hurt from the excitement.

"I don't feel bad. I was relieved when I saw Concubine Shen being demoted to Concubine Shen. Now, your Majesty is of the same status as her. No, your Majesty is more noble than her. Let's see if she dares to bully your Majesty in the future."

Infected by Luoluo's joy, Xu Xiyue also smiled. The emperor's punishment of Concubine Shen was also beyond her expectations.

Both the master and the servant were so happy that they didn't know there was someone else in the room. It was only when Lin Yuejiao spoke that Xu Xiyue realized that the fairy was here.

"Xiyue, congratulations on your promotion."

"Fairy? When did you come?"

As soon as Xu Xiyue opened her mouth, Luoluo became quiet, afraid of disturbing the conversation between the empress and the fairy.

Lin Yuejiao walked over and said with a smile: "I watched the whole show. Are you satisfied with the emperor's treatment of Shen Yurou?"

Xu Xiyue smiled, "Not bad! If Shen Yurou could be abolished, it would be more to my liking."

Lin Yuejiao: "Shen Yurou has the Queen Mother's support, it won't be that easy to be deposed, don't worry, there is a long way to go. By the way, I will stay at your place tonight."

Hearing that the fairy was going to stay overnight in Tinglanxuan, Xu Xiyue happily urged Luluo to clean up the side room for the fairy to live in. When Luluo knew about this, she was even happier than when Concubine Shen was demoted.

It was too late, so Lin Yuejiao didn't chat much with Xu Xiyue and went to sleep in the side room.

When Concubine Shen returned to Shaohua Palace, she was furious and ordered her men to capture the palace maid who had been staring at Tinglanxuan.

"You lowly maid, how dare you spread false information and lead me to Tinglan Pavilion to cause trouble, causing me to be hated by the emperor. You deserve to die! Drag her away and beat her to death!"

"Please spare my life, Madam. I have never betrayed you, Madam..."

The maid was dragged out crying. Shen Yurou remained unmoved and ordered Shanhu: "Prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."
