There was dead silence in Wanchun Palace.

The queen mother went crazy.

What should she do?

Concubine Yu was extremely depressed. It could be said that she relied on the relationship between her mother and the Queen Mother to become childhood sweethearts with Emperor Yongxi.

If the late emperor hadn't taken a fancy to her, she would have been Emperor Yongxi's crown princess and queen.

Now that she was demoted and grounded, and her mother and the Queen Mother could not be relied upon, it was impossible for her to deal with Bei Shi, who was protected by Emperor Yongxi, by herself.

"Mother, something bad has happened."

"What's the matter?"

Concubine Yu's face darkened.

"The emperor wants to reorganize the harem and let a group of people out of the palace."

"Let a group of people out of the palace, who are they?"

Concubine Yu didn't quite understand.

"The concubine who has never slept with me and the elderly palace servant."

Concubine Yu's expression suddenly changed.

No one knew that she had never slept with him.

Every time Emperor Yongxi came to Wanchun Palace, he only played chess and drank tea with her, and rarely had the opportunity to eat with her.

Never touched her.

Even my mother and the Queen Mother didn't know.

She had also been dissatisfied, but she was always arrogant and could not bring herself to take the initiative, so she chose to endure, thinking that one day she would impress Emperor Yongxi.

Now that Emperor Yongxi wanted to let the concubine out of the palace without a bed attendant, he must have deliberately targeted her.

Concubine Yu was almost crying. She didn't know where she had offended Emperor Yongxi and made him look down on her so much.

Obviously he wasn't like this before.

From childhood to adulthood, he protected her like this, even the princess and Concubine Jiang did not treat her the same way.

Why?

Concubine Yu couldn't understand.

"I want to see the emperor."

Concubine Yu ordered the palace officials to send a message to Emperor Yongxi.

"Slaves obey orders"

Just as the palace man was about to go out, Concubine Yu said again: "Forget it, let's take a look first."

Maybe it's not her. She is the prime minister's daughter. Letting her leave the palace would be a slap in the face of the prime minister's palace.

She must be overthinking it.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yu hated Bei Lingyao so much.

It was believed that Bei Lingyao, a vixen, seduced Emperor Yongxi and allowed Emperor Yongxi to release the concubines who had not slept with them out of the palace.

Although Taizu also did such a thing, it was because Taizu was old and decreed that concubines who had not slept with him could leave the palace and remarry.

Emperor Yongxi was only twenty-five years old, when he was young and strong. How could he have made such a decree if he hadn't been poisoned by Bei's Ecstasy.

It can be said that Emperor Yongxi's decree shocked the harem.

In Fengyi Palace, Bei Lingyao was speechless as she listened to the abuses hurled at her by the various palaces.

It was Emperor Yongxi who did the work, and she was the one who got scolded.

She couldn't figure out why Emperor Yongxi did this, and she didn't think she could make Emperor Yongxi give up the harem.

Bei Lingyao took people to Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Here in the imperial study, many ministers are begging Emperor Yongxi to take back his decree.

Although there was a precedent for Taizu, it was only in Taizu's later years when he was always ill and there were many young concubines in the harem that he was allowed to leave the palace and remarry.

At that time, no one in the court objected, and they all praised Taizu for his kindness.

But Emperor Yongxi was different.

Not only did the courtiers have their own thoughts when they heard the Queen coming over, but like the concubines, the first thought in their minds was because of the Queen.

"The Queen is here."

Emperor Yongxi stood up and was about to greet them. He waved to the ministers and said, "My lords, please step back. I have made up my mind."

All the ministers were disappointed, and an old censor couldn't hold himself back any longer, "I will go to see the Queen."

Another minister pulled him and said, "You are old and confused. The Queen is pregnant with the Emperor's heir, so there is no room for mistakes."

This is the emperor's first child. If there is an accident due to the fetal movement, the lives of the whole family will have to be paid.

The old censor finally held back, but he still refused to leave, "Since the Queen is here, I naturally want to see the Queen."

The ministers did not leave, but they also stayed slightly away from the old censor so as not to implicate themselves.

Bei Lingyao was led into the imperial study room by Emperor Yongxi, and was stunned when she saw the surprised expressions on the ministers' faces.

"I will pay my respects to the Queen."

"My lords, I am disturbing you."

Bei Lingyao looked apologetic, but she actually came at this time on purpose.

"Don't bother me, I'll leave."

The ministers thought that the old censor would be stubborn, but they didn't expect him to remain silent, and they suddenly felt that there was no need to stay any longer.

If Bei Lingyao was not pregnant, the ministers would definitely be unable to bear it.

But at this time, no one dared or acted stupidly.

When the ministers came to the door, Bei Lingyao couldn't wait to speak to Emperor Yongxi, "Your Majesty, I have received the emperor's decree. The elderly palace concubines left the palace to be raised in honor. Why do even the palace concubines have to leave the palace and remarry? They were drafted into the palace and are already the emperor's concubines, how can they survive after leaving the palace?"

When the ministers who had not gone far heard this, they felt that they had misunderstood the queen.

The Queen's words struck home in their hearts.

Among the concubines released by Taizu in his later years, few lived well.

"My mother gave me medicine twice. I had a hard time having children, and now I'm injured again. Even if I'm well-raised, I shouldn't summon my concubines, otherwise it will be bad for my health. Instead of keeping them alone in the palace, it's better to release them. Go to the palace and look for a new life."

"The emperor is merciful, but if you want to let the concubines out of the palace, there must be a charter. After all, you have to deal with the emperor, and you can't treat them badly. If they don't want to leave the palace, then they can stay."

"The Queen is generous. I listen to the Queen. I just won't do the draft in the future. I'm still young. I still want to see our prince grow up and have a family full of children. But I can't hurt my body because of women."

Emperor Yongxi said this, and the ministers had no choice but to give up their inner advice.

He only felt that it was not easy for the emperor.

The Queen Mother drugged her twice and injured her body. No wonder the Emperor fell out with the Queen Mother.

After all, it was the Queen Mother who hurt the relationship between mother and son first.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is not the biological mother, and she is crazy, and she has indeed suffered the consequences.

After the incident in the Imperial Study Room, Bei Lingyao's reputation for generosity, virtuousness and kindness spread out.

The wet nurse was extremely happy. Her master's reputation had been bad in the past few years, he was not living well in the Bu family, and he was not recognized by the Bei family.

Now that all the hard work has come to an end and the reputation has been turned around, it’s great.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, Bei Lingyao asked the people below to come up with a charter.

This is the first thing she does when she becomes queen, so she naturally has to do it beautifully.

The next day, Bei Lingyao summoned the concubines.

It turned out that she was pregnant, so she didn't have to pay her respects to the concubines in the morning.

Now the concubines are called here to discuss leaving the palace.

Concubine Yu was banned and did not come over.

The palace concubines were relieved when they learned that they would not be forced to leave the palace, and it would depend on their own wishes.

Not every concubine is truly loved by her family, some are just a tool for marriage.

Once she becomes an abandoned concubine and leaves the palace, her fate will fall into the hands of her mother's family.

It's better to stay in the palace, no matter how bad the life is, it won't be any worse.

Bei Lingyao said: "You can write to your parents first before making a decision."
