Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 583

Jiang Yunwan felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow!

She knew that in her current state, she could no longer remain Empress. But she never expected that Huo Tingsheng would actually banish her to the Cold Palace!

That's the Kitayome Palace!

Once you're in, you'll never get out. You'll either go crazy or die!

Jiang Yunwan cried out in despair, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this! I'm a victim too! I shouldn't be punished like this! I beg Your Majesty to investigate those villains who secretly harmed me! They are the real culprits!"

Huo Tingsheng was very annoyed: "Even if someone is trying to harm you, the fact remains that you ruined the sacrificial ceremony! That's a capital offense! Now everyone thinks you're a monster in human skin, and they're all demanding that I slay you. I'll have to come out and clear your name later. I'm already being lenient by not issuing an order to burn you alive. What more do you want!"

Jiang Yunwan knew that Huo Tingsheng was telling the truth, but she truly felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, and that she shouldn't have been treated like this!

How unfair! She was clearly harmed, her appearance was ruined, her reputation was destroyed, and now everyone is condemning her, yet the final result is that she will be sent to the cold palace!

Jiang Yunwan burst into tears: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I beg you, I know I can no longer remain Empress, but you can secretly let me leave the palace. I will live in seclusion outside... I really can't go to the Cold Palace!"

She knew that she and the Fourth Prince's faction were completely finished, but if she didn't have to stay in the Cold Palace, she should be able to have a better life.

Huo Tingsheng grew increasingly impatient: "Has your brain rotted away? You know the rules, don't you? I'm still breathing here, and you think you can just leave the palace on your own? Sparing your life is already going against the will of the world. I have to give all my subjects an explanation!"

Throughout the Western Qi dynasty, only concubines who gave birth to princes were allowed to move out of the palace and into their sons' residences after the emperor's death, provided the princes had reached adulthood and established their own residences outside the palace, and the current emperor granted their permission.

Otherwise, they would have to stay in the palace for life, born into royalty and dying as royalty.

Jiang Yunwan has made such a huge mess, yet she still wants this kind of special treatment. Does she think she can quietly leave the palace and live a rich and leisurely life for the rest of her days?

Was he, the emperor, already dead?

Jiang Yunwan still couldn't believe it: "But...but our relationship of over twenty years...I waited for His Majesty for so many years, living in darkness, and even gave birth to two princes for you...For all of this, you can't send me to the Cold Palace!..."

Wasn't she special to Huo Tingsheng?

Huo Tingsheng sneered: "If that's the case, Xie Qingmo helped me ascend the throne and consolidate my power, making great contributions and winning the hearts of the people, but she ruined the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, and she still ended up in the Cold Palace, didn't she? Compared to that, what are you, daring to ask me to give you special treatment?"

Who do you think you are?

These words resounded like a booming bell in Jiang Yunwan's mind, making her dizzy and almost faint.

She never imagined that Huo Tingsheng, who fell in love with her at first sight and was so infatuated with her that he even gave her the most prestigious position of Empress, would one day say to her, "What are you?"

Jiang Yunwan was stunned for a long time before she suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Xie Qingmo... Haha, Huo Tingsheng, how dare you mention Xie Qingmo? She ruined the sacrificial ceremony because you poisoned her, causing her personality to change drastically?"

Huo Tingsheng's expression changed drastically. Jiang Yunwan, however, ignored him and continued to mock him:

"You know she helped you ascend the throne and consolidate your power. You owe everything you have today to her, and what did you give her in return? You turned around and stabbed her in the back! You used the most despicable and vile means to ruin her reputation and cause her a miserable death, and you even wiped out her entire family! You are an ungrateful, inhuman beast!..."
