The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Zhishu with an even colder look, filled with disgust.

"So, you are Ying Cainu. Just like Noble Lady Zhao, you are both a vixen."

Zhishu looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.

"Do you have any manners? Can you glare at the Empress Dowager?" Pan Gengyi took advantage of the power of others to bully others.

Zhishu endured it, lowered her head and said nothing.

The Queen Mother sneered: "You are preventing people from entering Changle Palace. What are you trying to hide?"

"I did not conceal anything. I just told the Queen Mother that the virtuous concubine was not in the palace."

Pan Gengyi advised, "The Empress Dowager, she's always had a sharp tongue. She dared to criticize the Empress in public. We won't get any information from her. It's better to torture her directly."

"Slap her in the face and teach her some manners."

After the Queen Mother finished giving the order, she saw Consort Su's expression changing and did not let her go, "Including her."

The people from Ciyu Palace immediately stepped forward and held down Zhishu and Concubine Su.

"Empress Dowager! Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. I have always behaved well..." Concubine Su cried and begged for mercy.

Zhishu had already been slapped in the face.

But he did not ask for mercy.

I asked in public: "I don't know what I have done wrong. If the Queen Mother wants to punish me, please let me know the reason!

Furthermore, Consort Xian worked tirelessly for the birthday banquet, and even if there were mistakes, they weren't her fault. But if the Empress Dowager led her men into the main hall of Changle Palace, if word got out, outsiders might misunderstand her as indiscriminate and vindictive. Empress Dowager, I beg you to recall the palace servants who intruded!

There must be a misunderstanding here. I'm afraid some villain is deliberately causing trouble!

I am thinking about the reputation of the Queen Mother!"

As she spoke, she was slapped several more times.

His hair was disheveled and his face was red. He was forced to kneel on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

But his eyes showed no sign of surrender.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned blue.

"During the time I was away from the palace, what kind of people have come to power?! Pass on my imperial decree, Ying Cainu is demoted to a commoner. Go back to where you came from! And you——"

The Queen Mother turned her eyes and stared at Consort Su.

Concubine Su shuddered: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I know nothing..."

How could the Queen Mother believe it?

I saw her and Zhishu coming out of Changle Palace with my own eyes, and they were talking next to each other, so I thought they were in the same group.

He directly issued an edict to demote Consort Su to a commoner and move her to the cold palace.

The Empress Dowager was full of anger at the birthday banquet, but she had no place to vent her anger. Zhishu and Concubine Su were the first to be vented.

"Queen Mother?!"

Concubine Su never expected that she would be in trouble before the virtuous concubine who had done something wrong appeared.

She struggled to break free from her restraints and fell to the ground at the Queen Mother's feet, crying and begging.

Pan Gengyi was very happy to see that the concubine who was several levels higher than him was in trouble.

He said maliciously, "Su, the Queen Mother hates people who lie the most. If you are willing to tell the truth, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Concubine Su was stunned.

He looked at the Queen Mother tentatively.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not deny it, he thought for a moment and immediately became angry.

She thought to herself that the Queen Mother was so aggressive that Pan Gengyi must have already informed her of the matter regarding the virtuous concubine. She was innocent to begin with, so was she still covering up for the virtuous concubine?

Living in Changle Palace, one naturally has to rely on Concubine Xian.

But if Concubine Xian did such a shameful thing, she would definitely be finished. She couldn't just "go along with the crowd."

Otherwise, you will lose your position and reputation.

What is the difference between death and death?

"Empress Dowager, I...saw Ying Cainu sneaking out of Changle Palace. I was afraid she might be up to something, so I went to check on her. Who knew..."

She told Concubine Xian everything she had just seen outside her window.

It shows that he is not in the same group as Concubine Xian and Zhishu.

"I was just about to return to Xianyue Palace to report when you arrived. I didn't mean to hide anything, I was just too shocked and hadn't thought of what to say yet... Queen Mother, please don't criticize me. I'm truly innocent!"

The Queen Mother's face was cold.

"So you have nothing to do with this?"

"I am wronged!"

"Get up now."

"Then...then, my position as a concubine..."

Concubine Su asked tentatively.

But then she heard a laugh from the back of the crowd, "Hey, why are you crying here, Concubine Su? Your Majesty, on your birthday, you came to my palace, hoping to share in your blessings? Thank you so much, old lady!"

Concubine Su turned around in surprise.

Seeing the virtuous concubine dressed in gorgeous clothes, with neatly arranged hair and exquisite makeup, she walked towards him with the same dignified demeanor as usual.

The clothes and jewelry are the same as those at the birthday party.

As if nothing happened.

"...Empress?"

Concubine Su felt like she was struck by lightning again.

Even if Concubine Xian had gotten up and dressed since she was seen by her, it would have been too late in such a short time.

How could it be so intact?

How could he possibly walk in from outside the palace?

"Good health, Her Majesty the Concubine."

Zhishu was still being held down, but she greeted him immediately.

Xianfei walked up to the Empress Dowager and bowed. After paying her respects, she turned and asked with a smile, "What did Sister Ying do wrong? The Empress Dowager is having a good time, and you don't know how to restrain yourself."

Zhishu didn't argue at this point and directly admitted her fault: "It was all my fault for being so rude."

"That's good to know. I hope you can change it in the future."

"I obey your command."

Just at this moment, Nanny Shixiang came out of the main hall with two palace maids.

He went before the Queen Mother and bowed, "We have searched everywhere, but the burned actress is the only one lying in the green gauze cupboard. No one else is found anywhere else."

Consort Su asked before anyone else: "There's nothing messy in the room. Isn't the screen fallen to the ground?"

Just because she was more panicked than anyone else.

Shixiang asked, "Why do you ask, Miss Su? Everything in the room is tidy, and all the screens, large and small, are in good condition. I wonder which one you're asking about?"

The virtuous concubine looked at them.

She looked puzzled and asked, "Madam, what are you looking for in my room? What's wrong with the screen?"

At this time, Pan Gengyi looked as pale as Su Xuanshi.

"This is impossible!"

She lifted her skirt and rushed to the main hall.

Beside the virtuous concubine, two maids caught up with her and went in with her for a walk.

When Pan Gengyi came out again, his steps were a little unsteady, and he looked at Concubine Xian in disbelief: "Impossible... You clearly..."

"How about clearly?"

A cold light flashed from the virtuous concubine's narrowed almond-shaped eyes.

Pan Gengyi's face turned pale.

how can that be possible?

She clearly saw with her own eyes that Concubine Xian was hugging the female opera singer in the room, the two of them were very affectionate, and Linglong was also there...

It's obvious that they are not wearing any clothes!

She hurried back to Xianyue Palace to report.

The Empress Dowager brought people over, and it only took a stick of incense for the Concubine to clean up everything properly without leaving any trace?

There is also Consort Su.

Didn’t you say you saw it?

But why...

"Pan Gengyi framed the imperial concubines and had evil intentions. She was demoted to a palace maid and sent to the Xinzheku."

The Queen Mother gave the order solemnly.

Pan Gengyi's legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

He didn't even dare to beg for mercy.

She came from Ciyu Palace and knew the empress dowager's temper. If she begged for mercy at this time, her fate would be worse than being sent to the Xinzheku.

The Queen Mother turned to Consort Su and said, "You are even worse than Mrs. Pan. Not only did you frame her, but you also told her those absurd things in public! The cold palace can't tolerate you either. You should go to the Xinzheku as well."

"Empress Dowager..." Su Xianshi seemed to be dreaming, "Empress Dowager...I really saw it, really..."

Xian Fei looked at her with a smile: "What did you see?"

His eyes were completely cold.

Concubine Su was suddenly silent.

I didn't dare to say another word.

"All the ministers of Xianyue Palace are here. What does it mean that Concubine Xian invited the Queen Mother here?"

The emperor's laughter suddenly rang out at the palace gate.
