Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Mei Fei forced herself to calm down, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty means.

Xie Zhichu is just my neighbor's brother from childhood. I haven't seen him for many years. Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me."

Emperor Rong Sheng snorted coldly, "Childhood brother? Concubine Mei must think I'm a fool. No wonder you never pay attention to Lang'er, it turns out you have someone else in your heart."

Mei Fei bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyelashes: "Since your majesty has made up his mind, I have no right to argue. But the Ninth Prince is your majesty's own flesh and blood. Although I was negligent in my observation, I have no other intentions."

When Emperor Rong Sheng heard this, his heart moved slightly.

He looked at Concubine Mei and saw how pitiful she was. The scenes of their past love came to his mind.

But when he thought of the dream, he hardened his heart again: "You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind. If you don't want to leave the palace, you will be moved to the cold palace starting tomorrow. As for the Ninth Prince, I will arrange for someone to take care of him."

When Concubine Mei heard this, she felt as if she was struck by a huge thunderbolt and her body began to tremble violently.

Her beautiful eyes widened to the extreme as she looked in disbelief at the high and mighty emperor in front of her, with whom she had once made a solemn vow of eternal love.

Then, her legs went limp, as if she had lost all strength to support herself, and she collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Concubine Mei's face was as pale as paper, without any blood. Her exquisite makeup could not conceal the despair and sadness in her heart.

She just lay on the ground in a daze, staring blankly in the direction of the emperor, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.

At this moment, the nanny who had been serving Concubine Mei suddenly fell to her knees with a thud.

The loyal old maid's face was covered with tears. She kowtowed and begged at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty! My queen is truly sincere to you, and there is no falsehood at all! Please, for the sake of the Ninth Prince, spare my queen!"

Back then, when they learned that the Emperor was coming, both Concubine Mei and the maids and eunuchs around her were filled with joy, thinking that the Empress' good days had come again and that she would be able to live the beautiful life of being pampered as before.

But who could have expected that the emperor would be so cruel and heartless, and without further ado, he ordered the empress to be banished to the cold palace.

The speed at which he changed his mind was even faster than turning the pages of a book. It caught me off guard and was extremely chilling.

The queen hadn't committed any fault, so why was she ruthlessly banished to the cold and lonely cold palace?

Emperor Rong Sheng gazed deeply at the pitiful Concubine Mei in front of him, with no trace of emotion on his face, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

It was only at this moment that Mei Fei came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. Tears welled up in her eyes like a broken dam. She cried out at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty! Please tell me what I did wrong. As long as you tell me, I will change my ways. Please don't abandon me..."

Concubine Mei cried so hard that her heart was broken and her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain. She looked so pitiful.

However, she could never have imagined that the emperor, who had once been so kind and caring to her, would treat her so cruelly.

Over the years, she has been favored by the emperor and has long been accustomed to a luxurious life of fine clothes, delicious food and comfort.

Now that she was suddenly banished to the cold palace, it was even more painful for her than taking her life. She simply could not endure the suffering and torture in the cold palace.

The emperor already knows about Xie Zhichu's existence. Even if he doesn't execute him immediately, it is conceivable that from now on Xie Zhichu will probably never be able to make a comeback.

Concubine Mei knelt down at the feet of Emperor Rong Sheng with tears on her face. Her body kept shaking, and it was obvious that she was filled with fear and anxiety.

At this moment, she had no time to care whether Xie Zhichu was dead or alive.

From the moment she gave birth to the Ninth Prince, she clearly realized that there was no possibility for her and Xie Zhichu to be together.

And it was precisely because she was favored by Emperor Rong Sheng that she was able to taste the benefits of power.

What she truly desired deep down in her heart was to become the queen mother, aloof from all the world.

Before today, she had even been dreaming of realizing this dream.

But why did everything disappear without a trace in an instant, like a mirage in the water, in just one night?

Emperor Rong Sheng stared at the pitiful Concubine Mei in front of him with a gloomy face, and said coldly and ruthlessly: "Someone, come! Demote Concubine Mei to a noble lady immediately, and send her to the cold palace immediately. The Ninth Prince will be raised by Concubine Jing."

As soon as the words fell, it was like a bolt of lightning exploding over Concubine Mei's head.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the emperor high above her in astonishment. Her expression of disbelief was as if she had suffered the cruelest blow in the world.

The entire Plum Blossom Palace fell into deathly silence in an instant. The servants were terrified and stood there in a daze, completely unaware of how to deal with this sudden change.

What kind of crime did Concubine Mei commit that caused the emperor to be so angry that he even banished her to the cold palace?

At this time, Mei Fei was already crying like rain, her crying was extremely miserable, like a cuckoo crying blood, which was heartbreaking. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! How can you be so heartless? I am innocent!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs, but Emperor Rong Sheng remained unmoved. He had made up his mind and firmly believed in the ominous scene that had appeared in his dream.

Not executing Concubine Mei was his greatest mercy.

"I and Xie Zhichu have a clean record. We have never done anything inappropriate. Your Majesty, please look into my mind!"

Concubine Mei burst into tears and felt heartbroken.

But no matter how hard she begged, Emperor Rong Sheng pretended not to hear her. He turned around and left, leaving Concubine Mei collapsed on the ground, crying her heart out.

Soon, the news that Concubine Mei was demoted to the cold palace spread throughout the palace and everyone in the palace was shocked.

Everyone was whispering and talking among themselves, their hearts full of doubts and confusion.

You know, how could the emperor, who had always doted on Concubine Mei to the extreme, suddenly change his temperament and even treat Concubine Mei mercilessly?

This is incredible!

Various speculations and rumors spread rapidly like a tide.

For a time, people in the palace were in panic and everyone was in danger.

All those concubines were living in fear, fearing that they would be the next target of severe punishment by the emperor.

After all, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Who can know when the emperor's capricious temper will flare up?

However, amidst this chaos and panic, Jingxian Palace presented a completely different scene.

Concubine Jing picked up a son for no reason - the ninth prince!

This is truly a blessing from heaven!

For those concubines in the harem who have not yet given birth to a child, Concubine Jing's good luck is simply enviable.

Concubine Jing is an old friend who has been by the emperor's side since he was just a prince.

Even after the emperor ascended the throne, her status was slightly inferior because she had no children, but she never got involved in jealousy and always remained low-key and indifferent.

Perhaps it was this attitude of not competing with the world that made such a great thing finally happen to her.

Soon, the ninth prince was sent to Jingxian Palace.

When Concubine Jing saw this extremely cute little guy for the first time, her heart was instantly melted by him.

The Ninth Prince blinked his big watery eyes and smiled sweetly at Concubine Jing, as if expressing his affection for her.

In an instant, Concubine Jing felt that her heartbeat seemed to slow down by half a beat, and an indescribable joy and warmth surged in her heart.

At the same time, the emperor specifically allowed the maids and wet nurses who were responsible for taking care of the Ninth Prince to come along to ensure that the Ninth Prince would receive thorough care and love.

The entire Jingxian Palace was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere, which formed a sharp contrast with the sadness of the Meihua Palace.

Concubine Mei was banished to the cold palace, and the servants in the Plum Blossom Palace were waiting to be reassigned.

They had once enjoyed great glory in the palace because of their master's favor, but now they were being sent to various places, and no one knew where they would end up.

The good thing is it’s not their turn.

After all, which master would be willing to employ the people left behind by others? A servant cannot serve two masters, and their good days are over.
