The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 193 Punishment is Coming

Chengqian Palace.

Looking around the palace courtyard, it was completely silent. The palace maids and eunuchs who were sweeping the court stood respectfully with their work tools in their hands, somewhat embarrassed, not daring to make any noise at this moment.

The light and shadows of the trees were left on the ground, crisscrossing and dazzling.

From time to time, sounds of pain could be heard in the hall, followed by angry curses that made people feel frightened.

The palace maids and eunuchs outside were so frightened that their hearts trembled.

"How stupid! What's the use of you?"

"If you hurt me again, your hands will be useless."

……

At this time, the inner hall was burning with sweet incense, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose from the stove.

On the desk next to the couch, a girl about eight or nine years old was writing with a fearful look on her face. Sweat dripped down her forehead, but she didn't dare to be distracted and gently wiped it off with her hand.

Ningxiang was holding a box of anti-edema ointment left by the imperial physician, which could greatly repair the burns and injuries on her face, but it was extremely painful when the wounds were touched.

Slowly apply it on Concubine Wang's face bit by bit.

But as soon as the ointment touched her face, it caused a burning pain on her face, making her scream out in pain.

"Your Highness, please bear with it. The doctor said it will be painful. But the medicine is very effective. In two days, the redness and swelling on your face will subside."

"Yong'an! Mother asked you to help copy the palace rules so that you can learn the rules in advance."

Wang spoke to Yongan in a motherly tone.

Yong'an did not respond when he heard this, but continued to concentrate on writing the palace rules on the desk.

Although the Northern Dynasties' palace rules did not give specific regulations, the content involved in each item was sufficient. Copying it a hundred times is a huge project, but if you copy it every day and concentrate on copying it, it is still possible to finish it within a month.

It should be noted that the rules for female training that Nanxiang copied at that time were no less than these palace rules, but Nanxiang still finished them within half a month.

After copying, her hands were already showing obvious pain.

Later, he copied the longevity letter, which contained ten thousand words, within seven days.

The amount that Nanxiang asked Wang to copy this time was relatively small.

After a long time, Ningxiang finally finished applying the ointment amid Wang's angry curses.

At this time, the back of her palace dress was already soaked, and her neck was covered with sweat.

"Go change your clothes."

Seeing this, Wang glanced at him with some disgust.

After changing into palace clothes, Ningxiang returned to the palace.

"But did you tell Liu Sheng how to report it to the emperor?"

Wang gently waved a palm-leaf fan towards her face, and the cool feeling made her red and swollen face feel much better.

"Your Majesty, I have explained everything that needs to be explained. I have used the power of the Grand Commandant Wang to force Liu Sheng to submit."

After hearing this, Wang finally laughed out loud with great pleasure.

"Song Nanxiang, if you want to blame someone else, blame yourself for being born in a lowly family and not having such a good father!"

At this moment, Wang could already imagine the scene where the emperor would stand up for Nan Xiang after hearing her extremely unbearable remarks.

Just as she was imagining that Nan Xiang would be severely reprimanded by the emperor, the voice of the eunuch's announcement came from outside.

"Your Majesty! The eunuch from the Yangxin Palace has come to report the Emperor's order."

After hearing this, Wang was immediately filled with joy.

"The Emperor made compensation so quickly?"

"Is my position as the imperial concubine going to be restored?"

"Ningxiang, help me out."

Thinking so, Wang hung a veil on her face and then walked out of the hall. After a while, she came in front of the eunuch who came to report.

Although she was puzzled as to why it was not Liu Sheng who came to report, she still squatted and saluted.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

The eunuch standing in front of Wang was suspicious for a moment, then he spread out the imperial edict and read it aloud, "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Wang, the concubine of Chengqian Palace, has violated palace rules and offended the Imperial Noble Consort. She shall be fined one year's salary and confined to her home! This is my decree!"

Wang was originally full of anticipation, but when she heard the first sentence, her smile immediately disappeared, followed by a panic, and then a fear.

She looked shocked and fell to the ground unsteadily. "How can I not be able to move it even a little bit?"

……

At the same time, the eunuch arranged by Liu Sheng to deliver the imperial edicts was sending the imperial edicts to the wombs of the concubines who had been punished recently.

The concubine, who had already regretted her actions deeply and determined to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion in the palace, never imagined that the punishment from the Imperial Concubine was not enough, and she would also be punished by the Emperor.

Unlike Wang, these concubines also had to be caned and were punished by the eunuchs with five big boards in the courtyard.

For a moment, the howling sounds of concubines of varying volumes could be heard from different palaces, which was extremely horrifying!

You must know that after one big blow, there were very obvious red marks on the buttocks. After five blows, although the buttocks were not rotten, they were already bruised. When sitting down, it was as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles, and life was worse than death.

Only now did they realize how stupid it was to talk about Nanxiang in front of the Yangxin Palace.

He deeply regretted why he had followed Wang's lead in instigating him to speak rudely to the Imperial Concubine, knowing full well that the Imperial Concubine was extremely favored.

……

Yanxi Palace.

After receiving instructions from Nanxiang, Kikuhei immediately ordered people to go to the imperial kitchen to request a large variety of fruits.

The imperial kitchen had already been in decline after the previous incident of poisoning Nanxiang. When they learned that Nanxiang, now the imperial concubine, wanted some fruit, they picked out the best new-season fruits that had just arrived not long ago and sent them to Yanxi Palace, including watermelons, grapes, peaches, cherries, etc.

Not long after Kikuhei asked people to go to the imperial kitchen, he saw a group of eunuchs walking into the courtyard carrying baskets filled with many fruits.

Just as she was about to ask, she heard the leading eunuch from the Imperial Kitchen say, "The Imperial Kitchen will send some fresh fruits for the Imperial Concubine to try!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and told someone to put the basket away, then left quickly.

Nanxiang came out after hearing the noise. When she saw this scene, she felt amused. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?

"Little Benzi, take these fruits to the kitchen, wash and cut them, and then bring them to the palace."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Nanxiang turned around and returned to the hall without a moment's delay.

After all, the room was cooler with a basin of thick ice in it, and as soon as she came out, a wave of heat blew on her face.

At this time, Kikuhei walked aside and whispered, "Your Majesty! The Emperor knows about your interrogation and punishment of the concubines today."

"Oh? News spread so quickly?"

Nan Xiang's eyes moved slightly, but she did not take the matter too seriously. Even if the emperor was unhappy, she would not regret it once she had done it.

"Yes. The emperor also gave additional punishments to those concubines. The princess was even directly confined to her house, and the other concubines were all caned with five boards and fined one year's salary."

After Kikuhei finished speaking, he smiled happily, feeling very happy.

She originally thought that the Emperor would be quite critical of the Empress, but it turned out that she was overthinking it, as the Emperor still loved her Empress.

Nan Xiang's lips also showed a trace of smile, thinking: "This guy is really pleasing!"
