Chapter 275: Demoted to a concubine and retired to the side hall for confinement
"boom!"
Concubine Hui swept away a tea set on the Eight Immortals' table.
"I know that this son has evil intentions. He must have persuaded the eldest brother to come to the palace to plead for mercy at this time."
"Are you all going to die? One or two, are they from this palace, or are they from Eighth Prince and that cheap maid?"
The palace man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! My Majesty, please forgive me!"
Concubine Hui calmed down her anger and said, "That's it. Get up."
"Now that I am in trouble, I will have to be taken care of by Chenger and others."
"Your Majesty, you are destroying my slave!"
"The empress will definitely be lucky in times of adversity, or she will be in good health!"
At this time, the guards outside the palace put in the eunuchs in gray clothes.
"I order Hui Concubine Nala, who is wrapped in the yellow flag, the daughter of the doctor Suo He, who cares little about the emperor's favor, brings harm to the emperor's heirs, and is jealous of the emperor's concubine. She is demoted to Hui Concubine and no longer holds palace rights. She will retire from now on. Living in confinement in the side hall of Yanxi Palace, the good concubine Jue Chan takes over as the empress and controls all matters in Yanxi Palace. I admire this!"
"Empress Hui, thank you!"
She was only demoted to a concubine and took away the palace power, but she did not take away the title.
It was still within the tolerance of Concubine Hui: "Thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
"Stay here, Shuida! I would like to ask, does the Long Live Lord have any wishes for my eldest brother?"
The eunuch who delivered the order thought that today would be a hard job, but Nala was actually prepared for it and accepted the demotion with a calm face, without causing any further trouble to him.
Therefore, the eunuch who conveyed the order said kindly: "Replying to the concubine Hui, the eldest brother was rude in front of the emperor. Long Live the Lord will ban him in the mansion for one month to reflect on his mistakes. There is no other punishment."
"That's good. Thank you very much, father-in-law. Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Hui personally handed over the small purse as tea money for the eunuch who conveyed the order.
The eunuch who conveyed the order had a look on his face, and reminded him: "My queen, please move to the palace as soon as possible! Don't let me be in trouble!"
"I understand, but it won't be troublesome to move within the palace."
"Then I won't disturb Empress Hui's rest."
"Aunty Cha, send Shuda off."
Just after a while, I heard Aunt Zha say sharply: "The emperor has issued an order, why doesn't the commander withdraw his troops?"
The guard replied: "The emperor only sent orders to the empress in the palace, but did not issue orders to the guards in charge. We cannot leave our posts! Please go back!"
Aunt Zha came back with an angry face and said, "Madam, could this guard have accepted the decree of Yonghe Palace and deliberately made things difficult for me?"
There are guards guarding the place, and they are not allowed to pass on news, but they are not allowed to go about their daily routine.
Concubine Hui looked in the direction of the palace gate: "There are people in the Yonghe Palace in the forbidden army, and we also have them. It doesn't matter, if the Lord Long Live is going to be locked up, there will be people guarding him. Whether it is a eunuch or a guard, it doesn't make much difference."
Aunt Zha was worried: "Your Majesty, do we really have to move out of the main palace and live in a side palace? The good concubine is weak, how can she be the head of the first palace?"
"Since we know that our beloved concubine is weak, why should we fear that she will become the leader?"
"Is it possible that if there is another empress in charge of the outer palace, will she be able to handle it better than her?"
"There is nothing to fear from a good concubine. Isn't that why Eighth Prince is so eloquent!"
"Now that the guards are guarding me, if Eighth Prince has a clever mouth, he won't be able to enter the palace. Shouldn't he just have to worry about it outside?"
"Your Majesty is wise. It's just that this imperial decree doesn't mention how long the confinement will last. Is it possible that we just have to wait like this?"
"Don't worry. Our emperor is ambitious, and as long as he goes to the battlefield, Yinyin will be his most proud prince, and even the one from Yuqing Palace will have to stand back."
"How do you know..."
"It won't be long."
Being demoted to the rank of concubine, deprived of palace rights, and moved to a side palace. He was no longer the head of the palace, but it was just a temporary thing.
As long as her son is still outside, she just needs to wait quietly for the opportunity.
Hui Bin even felt a little grateful that the emperor had imprisoned her at this time.
In this way, she didn't have to go outside to see the faces of the concubines who wanted to see her in trouble.
When she was down and out, Hui Bin wanted to see them more than anyone else.
"Go, reward the guard with some silver, and apologize for your rudeness just now."
Aunt Zha was puzzled: "Your Majesty!"
"If they deliberately let others in to humiliate me because of your provocation, what do you think you will do?"
Aunt Zha suddenly realized: "This slave deserves to die! This slave must go now!"

Yuqing Palace.
The prince was in the side hall, enjoying the service of Tsui Wan at the prince's concubine's place.
At this time, Hua La outside said happily: "The prince is very happy!"
"The prince is very happy!"
Yinreng opened his eyes and made a noise.
Shi said, "Prince, do you want to welcome someone in?"
The prince threw down the thin quilt he was wearing: "That's it, I'm leaving alone. I'll see the prince again in the evening."
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince!"
Shi's body was blessed and he looked at the palace attendants with his eyebrows.
The palace people understood and quickly left the side door.
Returning to the study, Hua La said: "Last night, Concubine Hui, no, now she is concubine Hui. Under the testimony promised by Hirazon and Ling, she was indefensible and has been demoted."
The prince threw down the folding book in front of him again, and did not want to open it at all, saying: "Nala has committed a crime, so it is natural for Khan Amma to punish her. People are still the masters of the first palace, and Khan Amma is still soft-hearted."
"That's not the case anymore. Long live the Lord's decree, let the good concubine become the empress of the throne. The good concubine has been trained by Hui Concubine for many years, and now she turns over, will it make things easier for Hui Concubine?"
The prince was still impatient: "Nala has been the first of the four concubines for many years. Her virtue is not worthy of her position. Now she is asking for it. She also asked Gu to compensate a servant of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the punishment is light."
"What's going on with Hirazon? Why can't he even survive the punishment of the Division of Punishment? It's a waste that he has been the general manager for so many years and he can't even control his subordinates. Trash!"
Hualasan smiled and said: "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. That Hirazon has made no contribution. He dared to ask the prince to save him and threatened the slaves and others. He is really ignorant."
"It's just a matter of the Crown Prince making a recommendation in front of the Emperor. It will certainly not be difficult."
The prince threw the brush aside. This was what bothered him: "I don't know what happened to Khan Ama, but he has refused to accept Guzhi's invitation for three days."
"On the contrary, the fourth brother, regardless of whether he had a morning court or not, was summoned and stayed in the South Study Room for a long time with the Grand Scholar and the people from the Sixth Division."
Hua La said: "You don't need to worry, the prince. Maybe Long live the Lord is just thinking about bigger things, so he didn't summon the prince for a while."
"If you don't bring me some snacks, go to Qianqing Palace, and maybe Long Live Lord will meet you."
"Okay. Let Dezhu make the hawthorn and sour plum soup that he is good at. Every summer, Khan Ama likes to eat it most to appetize."
"It's strange. I haven't seen Dezhu's hoof in the past few days, but where has he been fooling around?"
Hua La then cursed: "No. I haven't seen him for several days."
Now that the Crown Princess has entered the house, Hua La can rarely stay in the study.
It's good to have one less person to serve the prince now.
Who cares whether virtue lives or is not there? It would be better if he disappeared!
The prince suddenly slapped him: "Something's wrong!"
"Hurry up and find it!"
