No one in Kunning Palace had expected that the Empress would punish Concubine Chun so severely, demoting her by two ranks and placing her under house arrest.

Even Chunmei was dumbfounded. She didn't care about crying and just stared at the queen.

"So, is Imperial Concubine Chen satisfied?"

Xiang Huayue knew that the Queen would drag her down in the end, and she was just fed up with the Queen's hypocritical attitude.

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? You restored the reception for the various palaces a month ago. Did you only see Chun Mei sitting in the wrong seat today? The palace is a place that values hierarchy and order. Even the concubines need to be reminded of their positions when paying their respects. Your Majesty, why don't you take a break and recuperate so that you can better serve as the mother of the country?"

Although Xiang Huayue was usually arrogant, this was a rare instance of his harsh words, which left the Queen speechless.

"I didn't expect even a word of thanks from the Empress, but I didn't expect her to turn the tables. Could it be that she thinks I'm making a big deal out of nothing and must punish Pure Beauty?"

Xiang Huayue was so angry that she could not sit still. She stood up and took a long time to calm down. After hearing what she said, all the concubines in the room looked at the queen differently.

Seeing the queen's face changing again and again, and the heavy makeup could hardly cover her ugly face, a soft voice sounded.

"The Imperial Concubine has always been a person who values rules. How could Her Majesty make such a fuss about today's incident? The Empress has not seen her family for a long time, so it is natural for her to show partiality. The person who made the mistake has been punished, and it is better to let this matter go. We are still sisters in the same house."

"Yes, no one is perfect."

Concubine Xian spoke among the kneeling concubines, and Concubine Shu took the lead in echoing her.

Xiang Huayue was amused by Concubine Xian's words. Concubine Xian, who was looking at the Queen just now, secretly gave her a look.

The Queen sat in the upper seat with a broad view. She watched the little movements between Concubine Xian and Imperial Noble Concubine Chen, and her back teeth were almost broken.

But looking at the concubines kneeling on the ground, he could only follow Empress Xian's words and keep the peace.

If this matter gets out of hand and reaches the emperor, Xiang Huayue has always been shameless, and the emperor has always doted on her, so in the end it will be her, the queen, who will lose face.

The queen gave Dongmei, who was standing beside her, a look, and then habitually reached out to support her forehead.

"The Empress is unwell, so today's greetings will end here. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

The Queen pretended to be sick, and Xiang Huayue was too lazy to continue to flatter her.

He left Kunning Palace before everyone else.

I feel irritable because I still have to go to the Cining Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, that vicious old woman. I miss my daughter and don't want to go.

Liang Chongyue was sleeping soundly when his nose suddenly felt itchy and he sneezed, which scared Princess Gaoyang who had been guarding beside him.

When she woke up completely, her mother had already returned to take a shower and change clothes.

The system described to her the scene of her mother killing everyone in Kunning Palace.

There were loud drums and gongs, firecrackers blasting, huge crowds of people, trembling with fear...

Liang Chongyue listened to the whole process with a lot of nonsense and exaggeration in the system.

"Host, my scumbag father already knows about this. He even fined the Queen half a year's salary and gave it to our mother. The Queen is now furious."

Liang Chongyue didn't expect there would be a follow-up to this matter.

"How could a queen who has been immersed in the harem for more than ten years go crazy just because of such a thing? So what if she is fined? A pure beauty will not be allowed to see the emperor for three months. When she is released, her scumbag father will have someone new around him, and it will be difficult for her to regain his favor. It's just a loss for the enemy."

Liang Chongyue chatted with the system for a few words, and then was held by the wet nurse to feed her.

Although she felt uncomfortable psychologically, she needed it physiologically, so she endured it a little longer. Once the milk was no longer nutritious, she would stop drinking it.

After drinking the milk, she was supposed to go to her mother, but just as she finished burping, a cute baby face popped up in front of her.

"Is this my little sister? She's so small."

The voice was also very sweet, and a pair of small hands stretched out, which were chubby and you could tell they felt good.

"Let me hold you, I'm the older sister, I can hold my younger sister."

Liang Chongyue looked at the tiny person in front of him, and what the ancients said about the delicate and exquisite figure was indeed true.

"Host, this is the Second Princess Liang Yushu, who is being raised by Concubine Xian. She is your second sister and is five years old this year."

Ever since the elder sister came in, the system has been reminding her that her account balance has been increasing. Soon, the second sister's favorability towards her reached 80%.

Liang Chongyue looked around with difficulty and found that her second sister was followed by two palace maids she had never seen before, and her mother did not send anyone to follow her.

Being able to move around so freely in Yikun Palace, is he one of us?

"Puppy, get me the information about Concubine Xian and my second sister."

After a while, all the information about Empress Xian's nine clans was displayed in front of her.

The maternal family of Empress Xian was a famous salt merchant in Jiangnan. Many high-ranking officials came from the family, and her father was the Minister of Rites.

The information shows that both her mother's family and her father's family are from the nine branches of the Xiang family.

As for my second sister’s biological mother, Concubine Lan, she was just the daughter of a minor official and had little to do with the Xiang family.

Knowing that he was one of her own, she felt relieved.

This time, after drinking milk, he was not carried to his mother's side. His mother must have been discussing matters with Concubine Xian.

Liang Chongyue played with her second sister for a while. These days, she felt sleepy right after drinking milk and could hardly open her eyelids. Then she saw Chun Chan beside her mother, and she couldn't bear it for the next second and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she opened her eyes to see her scumbag father's handsome face magnified several times, which scared her to tears.

Listening to his own weak cries, Liang Chongyue suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.

"Have I been poisoned, little dog?"

Before the system responded, he was picked up by his mother.

Looking at the slightly dried tear marks on her mother's face, she guessed something without the system saying much.

"Don't cry, my beloved. Chongyue has woken up. I have left the best doctors in the Imperial Hospital in Yikun Palace to ensure Chongyue's safety. I will definitely catch the murderer and give you and Chongyue an explanation."

Her mother cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, which made her feel heartbroken.

"Don't cry, Mother Chen. My sister...will be fine."

She was held in her mother's arms and could not look back.

But this childish voice with a crying tone must be that of the second sister.

"Yu Shu is right, your sister Chongyue will definitely be fine."

The scumbag father's majestic voice sounded again, and his tone was full of comfort to comfort the second sister.

"Empress Xian, the princess is precious. You must take good care of Yu Shu. If anything happens to the princess, please report to me immediately in Yangxin Palace. I will definitely make a decision for you and your daughter."

"Yes, I understand. Since the Fifth Princess has woken up, I will take Yu Shu back first."
