The Female Psychology PHD Got Time Travelled To The Royal Harem

Chapter 26

One would hardly believe it was to send off the Emperor and Empress to the realm of immortality.

After all, Zhen Fangyi's complexion looked awful.

After the Emperor summoned her, she did not even spare him a glance, instead pulling Concubine Su out of the Emperor's embrace: "Explain yourself clearly, who hates you so much? Although we entered the palace on the same day, I had never met you before then. After entering the palace, apart from the day when Consort Jiang struck you for blocking her path, the only time we had any interaction was when I said a few words to you as I passed by. When did we ever have any other dealings? Are you saying that I would cruelly kill my beloved pet to terrorize you?"

Even when she went to Yikun Palace daily to pay her respects to the noble consorts, she was always accompanied by Consort De and Consort Liang, never once going with Concubine Su.

How could she have offended her, to the point where the other would use the words "hate" to describe her feelings?

Concubine Su kept looking to the Emperor for help, but he was too preoccupied watching Zhen Fangyi, who resembled an angry little bird, not sparing her a single extra glance.

She had no choice but to brazenly say: "If Noble Lady Fangyi does not resent this concubine for receiving Your Majesty's favor on the day you moved palaces, why did you invite Consort De to eat roasted meat that day but neglect this concubine who resided in the same palace as Consort De? And when Consort Jiang struck this concubine, why did you stand by and do nothing to help this concubine?"

Jiang Xinyue was so angered she had to laugh. It turned out there really were people like Concubine Su in this world.

As if she was the center of the universe, everyone had to revolve around her. Not helping her was hating her, not playing with her was hating her, not complying with her wishes was enviously hating her.

Wasn't this just pure madness?

Not only did she find it laughable, but even the Empress found it unbelievable: "Just based on your own imagination, you maliciously accuse Zhen Fangyi without a shred of actual evidence, slandering a consort of higher rank than you. Don't you know this violates palace rules and warrants corporal punishment?"

Concubine Su froze for a moment, her gaze shifting evasively: "This concubine... was only making a reasonable guess, not intentionally accusing Noble Lady Fangyi. Please, Your Majesty, in light of this concubine's fright, do not pursue the matter."

Look at that, call her stupid, but she still knows how to look out for herself and avoid harm.

The body of Little Ai Jiang had been covered with a white sheet. Jiang Xinyue reached out to uncover it, but the Xuanwu Emperor stopped her: "Don't look."

Everyone in Hexi Palace adored Little Ai Jiang. If they saw its gruesome state with its eyes gouged out and body cut open, they would inevitably be heartbroken.

Jiang Xinyue glanced at the Emperor, shaking off his hand and slowly pulling down the sheet.

"Ah!"

Seeing Little Ai Jiang's fur completely stained red with blood, its chest and belly sliced open with its innards spilling out, Xi Que let out a terrified scream, covering her mouth.

She had acted improperly in the Emperor's presence and knelt on the ground: "This servant deserves to die. Please, Your Majesty, forgive me."

The Xuanwu Emperor paid it no mind, feeling her reaction was understandable.

Everyone in Hexi Palace treated Little Ai Jiang like their own child, which was why it had such an amiable nature.

Suddenly seeing their "child" meet such a gruesome death was simply too much for anyone to bear. Zhen Fangyi and her palace maids had shown remarkable restraint.
