Chapter 676: Violent Proton + Crazy Princess 42
About a quarter of an hour later, Eunuch Cheng hurriedly came to the emperor with ten burly and big maids.
These maids are all strong and robust, and you can tell at a glance that they are very powerful.
The emperor gave an order: "Catch that bitch for me!"
Upon hearing this, the ten maids rushed forward like tigers pouncing on their prey, rushing towards the Imperial Concubine with great momentum.
One of the maids, who was extremely strong, quickly reached out and hugged the imperial concubine's slender waist, wrapping herself tightly around her like an octopus, making it difficult for her to break free.
At the same time, two other maids grabbed the imperial concubine's hands tightly and pulled them back hard, leaving her hands completely unable to move freely.
The other two maids each held one of the legs and refused to let go.
In this way, the Imperial Concubine was completely controlled by these five maids and could no longer make any move.
At this time, two agile maids hurried forward and put a wide cloak on the imperial concubine, covering her entire naked body.
Then they quickly took out a thick rope and skillfully tied up the imperial concubine.
The rope was like a snake, wrapping around the imperial concubine in circles, starting from her arms, then slowly extending down her body until it reached her calves.
As the ropes became more and more twisted, the imperial concubine's body was gradually wrapped tightly, like a tied-up dumpling.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Imperial Concubine, Yun Youran couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She didn't want to laugh, but when she saw the imperial concubine tied up like a mummy, she couldn't help it.
The matter was settled, and Yun Youran felt very happy. She had finally collected some interest for Xuanyuan Ming and vented her anger.
As for the revenge later, I'd better wait for him to come back and do it myself!
No matter how favored she was in the past, no matter how powerful she was, now that she has done such a shameless thing in public, let's see how the emperor will protect her.
As long as the emperor still has some dignity, he will never favor her again.
Unless the emperor is not a normal man.
And even if the emperor didn't punish her, he would feel very uncomfortable.
Whenever the emperor thought of her, he would recall that she had cheated on him in public, and these people were all civil and military officials.
Therefore, no matter how much love you receive, it will eventually disappear and become nothing.
Even if it was discovered that she had been drugged, so what? The emperor would still not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.
When Prince Xuanyuan Yao of Qi heard the news and rushed over, all the civil and military officials had already left, and the imperial concubine had also been kidnapped.
After returning to the harem, the emperor was so angry that he immediately wrote an edict.
An hour later, Eunuch Cheng took the imperial edict to Luanming Palace to read it out.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Imperial Noble Consort Liu has disregarded palace rules and violated the palace rules. Her behavior has seriously violated ethics and morality, damaged the reputation of the imperial family, and disrupted the order of the palace.
Such crimes are intolerable to heaven and unforgivable under national law.
Now, considering our old friendship, I cannot bear to punish her further, so I deprive her of her title of Imperial Noble Consort, demote her to the rank of Consort, and banish her to the cold palace.
I hope she will reform herself, abide by the code of conduct for women, and atone for her past sins. I decree this!"
The Imperial Concubine had never expected that upon waking up she would receive such an imperial edict.
She almost went crazy.
She was so angry that she picked up a pillow and threw it to the ground.
Xuanyuan Yao looked at the crazy imperial concubine and shouted angrily, "What on earth happened? Why did you appear there so early in the morning and strip the clothes of the court officials like crazy?"
Faced with her son's questioning, the imperial concubine became even more angry. She yelled hysterically:
"How would I know? If you ask me, who else can I ask?
I was sleeping soundly in my bedroom, but when I woke up I was in the corner of the aisle wearing only my underwear.
I was afraid of being discovered, so I wanted to run away, but before I could take a few steps, my body started to change, and I felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. I don’t know anything about what happened afterwards.”
Her eyes turned bloodshot with anger, just like when the aphrodisiac took effect, only this time, she was sober.
Xuanyuan Yao looked at the palace maids and servants kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, and said sinisterly: "Those who were on guard last night, please stand up for me."
Soon, two palace maids, a nanny, and four eunuchs stood up.
Xuanyuan Yao tapped the table with an unpleasant expression, "Tell me, has anything special happened from last night to early morning?"
The seven palace maids and eunuchs who had just been pointed out had faces as pale as paper, and their heads were shaking like rattles, as if they were about to break their necks.
The maid was so frightened that she was shaking all over, and even her voice became trembling:
"Your Majesty, from last night until this morning, everything went as usual, and nothing special happened."
Before he could finish his words, there was a deafening "bang" sound.
Xuanyuan Yao slapped the extremely hard sandalwood table in front of him with a slap in his hand. His eyes widened, his face full of anger, and he raised his voice and shouted:
"Humph! You said nothing happened? Well, you should quickly explain to me how my mother inexplicably ran from her bedroom to that road!"
Nanny was frightened by Xuanyuan Yao's fierce momentum and trembled all over. She kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please calm down! I really don't know.
This morning, I went into Her Majesty's bedroom once. At that time, Her Majesty was clearly lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
As for why she suddenly appeared on that road, I really don't know!"
At this time, Xuanyuan Yao's personal guard said: "Your Highness, according to what this nanny said, based on the timeline, it is impossible for the queen to run so far in such a short time.
This just doesn’t make sense at all.”
Xuanyuan Yao stared at the nanny and questioned her, "Did you really go into Mother's bedroom in the early morning and see her sleeping peacefully in bed?"
The nanny nodded, "Really, Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. When I entered the bedroom, I saw many people, and they can all testify for me.
If you are worried that they will collude in their testimony, you can question them separately to see if their answers are consistent.
Xuanyuan Yao did as he was told. About a quarter of an hour later, the guard Wu Da came back to report the result.
"Your Highness, the testimonies are consistent. All the palace maids and eunuchs who stood guard outside the door last night said they saw Madam enter the palace early in the morning."
Xuanyuan Yao got a definite answer, but he still questioned again, "Even if you entered the palace, it doesn't explain it. At that time, my mother was still sleeping in bed."
"My Lord, I dare not lie to you. I am telling you the truth."
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yao didn't seem to believe her, the nanny became extremely anxious and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.
At this time, Cheng Gonggong's apprentice walked into Luanming Palace and said to Xuanyuan Yao, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered Liu to move to the cold palace immediately."
Xuanyuan Yao gnashed his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists before he said in a calmer tone, "Go and report to my father. Mother will be moved to the cold palace immediately."
Hearing these words, a dark light flashed in Xuanyuan Yao's eyes.
My father is so ruthless!
After so many years of affection, it was broken just like that. How cold and indifferent.
"Ahhhhhh!" The former imperial concubine, now Liu Da Ying, screamed and threw the quilt covering herself onto the ground.
If she hadn't been unwell and unable to get up, she would have smashed all the furnishings in the hall.
