C115 The End

The eunuch's words undoubtedly gave Lau Yunyan a big slap in the face.

However, the people present also quickly grasped the key point. This hairpin was given to Zhen'an King, but at this moment, it appeared on Jiegeng's body. The pros and cons of this naturally went without saying. Judging from what had happened today, Zhen'an King truly doted on Princess Renxi. Furthermore, he had given the royal family's item to an outsider. The deeper meaning behind it was enough for the people present to fantasize about it.

Since the Royal Highness had given the hairpin to the Princess, there was naturally no reason for them to 'steal the harem's item'.

The Empress Dowager once again felt ashamed of herself: One after another, isn't this just embarrassing me?

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, why don't you say it earlier so that there won't be these misunderstandings." The empress dowager stubbornly clung onto her face.

But the Emperor's expression did not improve a bit.

"It's all because of Consort Liang. Nothing happened, causing my family to almost wrongly accuse the Empress." Just now, she was smiling at Consort Liang to welcome her. The Empress Dowager's expression changed too quickly.

Consort Liang immediately knelt down.

"Qu'er, you provoked this matter. Shouldn't you say something?" At this moment, the Empress Dowager was still deluding herself with thinking that she could be blamed on Jiegeng.

"It is indeed true that it is a femme fatale." Seeing that her two sons did not stop her, the Empress Dowager once again put Jiegeng on.

"Could it be that the things that happened today were all caused by mother overstepping her authority?" Duan Shuang put down his wine cup. His low and deep voice was terrifying.

"Yun'er, how dare you do this?" The Empress Dowager's expression could no longer be controlled.

"Isn't that so? Since the betrothal, Empress Dowager, you've been driving the Empress's Central Palace, right?"

The empress dowager immediately refuted, "The Empress is still young, so as the empress dowager, what's wrong with helping?"

"Mother, the Empress has been staying behind for six years already" The Emperor's sudden words stunned the empress dowager to death.

"Mother, what have you done recently? You don't need Zhen to... Chen Ming, right?"

The empress dowager's back suddenly softened. Could it be that the Emperor was referring to Jiang family?

"Empress, there's still a family feast tonight. You should return to the palace to rest."

"Aijia..." The Empress Dowager still wanted to say something but when she looked into the Emperor's eyes, she immediately lost her confidence.

Just like that, the Empress Dowager, with the support of the mama, left the palace.

"As for Consort Liang and Lau Yunyan. Empress, this is your responsibility, you do as you see fit." After saying this, the Emperor also left.

When he passed by Duan Shuang, he unhappily said," You come over here for Zhen! "

With that, the Emperor and Zhen'an King also left first.

The Empress looked at Consort Liang and Lau Yunyan kneeling on the ground and could not put on a good expression.

"Consort Liang Liu family, stirring up trouble. There is a lack of female morality. Remove her title and demote her to Concubine Liu. Furthermore, she has closed her palace for three months to self-reflect. The palace maid Cui Er beside her, die with her staff. "

When Concubine Liu heard this, she immediately resisted, "Chenqie is unconvinced! Chenqie wants to meet the Emperor. You have no right to demote to a position!"

" Empress, spare me! Empress, spare me! " Cui Er immediately cried, "Consort Liang Ladyship, save me!"

The Empress gave a look to the palace people and the palace people immediately pulled Concubine Liu down. "The Imperial Decree will be sent to your palace later."

Lau Yunyan heard her big sister's punishment and was already scared out of her wits.

"As for Lau Yunyan, she has a bad moral character. She has secretly visited the palace and damaged the appearance of the women in Great Yan. She will never be able to discuss marriage with the imperial clan."

Originally, Lau Yunyan thought that the worst punishment would be to beat a few boards. But now, the Empress directly cut off her qualifications to discuss marriage with the imperial clan. Then, her entire body was really finished!

"Esteemed Empress, please spare me. Yun Yan will not dare to do it again. Esteemed Ladyship, please retract the order!" Lau Yunyan desperately kowtowed her head and admitted her mistake.

The Empress was not moved in the slightest.

Lau Yunyan immediately knelt in the direction of Jiegeng, "Princess Renxi, I will not dare to do it again. I beg you, please beg the Empress for mercy."

Jiegeng took a step back.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you expel her from the Imperial Palace?"

At this moment, a group of guards rushed in and pulled Lau Yunyan away.

After the palace quietened down, the Empress said sternly, "Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and enjoy your reunion."

The people below immediately agreed, "Yes."

The Empress deliberately left everyone behind until the execution of the Liu sisters before letting them in. She was simply trying to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Moreover, it was to give these aristocratic children a warning. From today onwards, the Empress Dowager's monopoly of power would no longer exist.

In the Imperial Reading Room.

"You bastard brat, you actually gave me some shameful things! Just now, you were enduring in the palace and now, there are only the two of them left. The Emperor can finally not suppress the fury in his heart anymore.

" Other than that Gongsun Jing, this official does not know what else has he done wrong. "

" Humph, in the past, when have you ever been able to endure such anger? Didn't someone immediately counterattack after provoking you? That Gongsun Chen, would you only injure his eyes? Also, why do you suddenly want that hairpin? So it was my idea here. You're slowly aggravating your mother's anger! "

"Imperial Brother misunderstood. The hairpin was purely a gift. If it weren't for the jealousy in your harem, this wouldn't have happened. "

"Consort Liang told me to bump into her. I don't believe it. You didn't arrange for people to create this conflict? I knew it. Why did you worry about the Internal Affairs Department that day? So it was in the frame of me! You really put in a lot of effort for that Jiegeng of yours!"

" Even if Imperial Brother bears with it today, he will definitely start restricting the Queen Mother in the future. Instead of waiting for mother to sink deeper and deeper, it would be better to cut the weeds and cut the weeds. We can still retain the affection between mother and son. "

The Emperor angrily walked onto the dragon throne and faced Duan Shuang, glaring at him.

"Imperial Brother, we can't let the Jiang family continue to develop like this." Duan Shuang was still as calm as ever.

"Now that I have stabilized my mother, I might as well wake the Jiang family up. After all, this is our Mother clan and nothing much can happen. If the Jiang family is really destroyed, Mother..." The Emperor still hesitated.

"I can give the Jiang family another chance. If they still don't know the depth of this matter, then I can't blame my brother for being heartless." Duan Shuang's eyes dimmed.

After thinking for a long time, Duan Shuang decided to tell them one thing. "Imperial Brother, if Jiang family doesn't turn back, you must not stay. They have also participated in this."

"What!?" The Emperor's expression immediately changed. "They actually..."

"Human greed is endless."

"Just do as you wish." Just now, the Emperor still felt some pity because of the feelings of his own kind. But once it involved the stability of Great Yan, everything was just a floating cloud.

"Zhen's decisiveness is always inferior to yours."

"That is because Imperial Brother is concerned about the entire Great Yan. This official does not have this understanding and can see things more clearly. The thing this official can think about the most is to help Imperial Brother stabilize the state affairs. That is all. "

When the Emperor heard Duan Shuang's words, he could not help but stand up and pat Duan Shuang's shoulder, "It is Zhen's fortune to have brother like this!"
