The Female Psychology PHD Got Time Travelled To The Royal Harem

Chapter 29

He glared with his imposing eyes: "Where did you hear such nonsense that you dare to be insolent before me? Wang Dequan, take Zhen Fangyi away and give her thirty heavy strokes of the rod."

Zhen Fangyi was Zhen Fangyi, she had never been anyone's substitute.

"Your Majesty is protecting Zhen Fangyi, where does that leave the Honorable Consort? Has the Honorable Consort suffered for nothing?"

Consort Jiang kowtowed on the ground, her forehead bleeding: "This concubine begs Your Majesty to severely punish Zhen Fangyi, or else all the concubines in the palace will learn her ways of courting favor."

"Your Majesty, please punish Zhen Fangyi severely!"

Behind Consort Jiang, a group of concubines aligned with Concubine Li were kneeling down.

In contrast, Empress Zhu seemed feeble and weak.

This also made her, as the Empress of the Middle Palace, feel the threat of Concubine Li once again.

How foolish!

Before this, Jiang Xinyue had never believed that Concubine Li would risk herself and use treacherous means to attack her.

But seeing Consort Jiang, Consort Wan, Consort Jin, and other concubines from Concubine Li's faction all kneeling in unison, indignantly demanding the Emperor to punish her, she knew the truth.

Concubine Li was fine, the one in trouble was her - this was a trap set up deliberately to target her.

Ridiculous!

Did they really think the Emperor would favor concubines who forced his hand?

Concubine Li was sacrificing all of them to achieve her own ends!

A temporary setback is not necessarily a bad thing.

The Xuanwu Emperor looked at Jiang Xinyue with a complex gaze, and she looked back at him, her eyes quickly filling with tears. While giving the Emperor a faint smile, she also slightly nodded her head.

Her eyes seemed to speak, saying she did not want to put the Emperor in a difficult position, letting him follow the wishes of Consort Jiang and the others and severely punish her.

"Wang Dequan..."

For the first time, the Xuanwu Emperor felt unable to look directly into those eyes filled with emotion, and had never thought that issuing an order to punish a concubine would be so difficult.

"Zhen Fangyi's behavior has been unbecoming. From this day forth, she is demoted to the rank of Royal Lady and exiled to the Palace of Exile."

Even Consort Jiang had not expected such a severe punishment - being demoted to a mere Royal Lady and exiled to the Palace of Exile, what kind of Royal Lady was that?

It was practically a death sentence.

Look, the Emperor's affection for the Honorable Consort was truly deep and unmatched, no one could replace her.

"Your Majesty."

Empress Zhu felt the punishment was too severe and wanted to plead further, but the Emperor waved his hand: "All retire. I will keep the Honorable Consort company."

Who could have imagined that not long ago, the Emperor had demoted Consort Jiang to the lower rank of Consort for the sake of Zhen Fangyi's dog, but now, for Concubine Li, he was demoting Zhen Fangyi to a Royal Lady and exiling her to the Palace of Exile.

The situation in the palace truly changed in the blink of an eye, unpredictable.

Who could say when this former Royal Lady, who had once been shunned by the Emperor only to regain his favor through her talents, might suddenly be favored by the Emperor again and return to the spotlight?
