The emperor waved his hands impatiently and said, "Bring her to the cold palace quickly!"
The eunuchs and guards immediately came to their senses, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Wu was shocked. No matter how hard she struggled or shouted, the eunuchs and guards showed no mercy and dragged her directly to the cold palace.
A group of palace maids and nuns were already waiting in the cold palace.
Most of these palace maids used to be with the Queen, and their faces were full of joy when they saw Concubine Wu.
Especially the leader, Nanny Chen, grabbed Concubine Wu's hair and pulled her away, "Concubine Wu, you are not allowed to wear any jewelry in the cold palace."
Concubine Wu cried out in pain and quickly turned to look at Nanny Chen. Then she was startled and pointed at her and said, "It's you! It's you!"
Nanny Chen smiled and said: "My dear concubine, don't you remember when you drove our queen here?"
Concubine Wu said angrily: "Get away from me, you cheap maids. My father is the prime minister, and my eldest brother is the general! How dare you try it on me!"
Aunt Chen sneered: "Don't worry, they will all deserve what they deserve before long." ?.?????.???
After she finished speaking, she quickly winked at the eunuchs around her.
The eunuchs pressed Concubine Wu to the ground together, making her unable to move.
Grandma Chen followed the maids beside her and pulled out the golden hairpin with phoenix crown on her head.
Since the queen left, Concubine Wu has been so bold that she wears the phoenix crown that only the queen can wear.
When Grandma Chen took off the phoenix crown, she did not forget to prick Concubine Wu's back twice with the hairpin in her hand.
Concubine Wu shouted in pain, "You are so brave. I am the concubine. You actually dare to torture yourself without authorization. I will definitely kill your heads!"
Aunt Chen stabbed her back twice more unceremoniously, "What a noble concubine, you have been demoted to a commoner, not even as good as us slaves!"
After saying that, he also took off the gorgeous clothes she was wearing.
The maids on the side were pulling at their hair and their clothes.
Grandma Chen poked her back from time to time with the gold hairpin in her hand.
It didn't take long for Concubine Wu to faint.
Grandma Chen stood up slowly and ordered to the eunuch beside her: "Go and throw her into the northernmost room."
After hearing this, the eunuch on the side stood up, picked up Concubine Wu and strode towards the north, throwing her away.
As soon as they left, the maids gathered around and said, "This Concubine Wu really stinks."
"Yes, it must be because I killed too many people and took too many lives, so my body smells rancid!"
They said and looked at Granny Chen.
Grandma Chen couldn't smell anything.
When Concubine Wu framed the queen, she gave poison to these palace ladies. Grandma Chen's daughter died among these palace ladies. Although she herself did not die, she lost her sense of smell and taste.
In the entire cold palace, she was the only one who was not afraid of Concubine Wu's stench.
In the future, Grandma Chen will have many ways to torture her.
The maids all sighed, it was really retaliation.
Outside the palace, the third prince was very happy when he heard that Concubine Wu was imprisoned in the cold palace.
The Wu family was so anxious that they entered the palace one by one to plead with the emperor.
However, the emperor did not see any of them, citing illness.
As a result, no matter how anxious the Wu family is, they can only do nothing.
Especially the eldest brother of the Wu family, fearing that Concubine Wu's affairs would implicate him, he took the whole family directly to the military camp outside the pass, hoping to seize the turmoil during this period.
The third prince counted the time, and after seeing that the matters in the capital were settled, he secretly changed his clothes and returned to Changliu Village.
On this day, Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun were both waiting at home for news of the results of the provincial examination.
Zhou Ruiyuan went to Qingzhou Mansion early in the morning and should be home soon.
Aunt Zhou stood at the door and looked out of the village, holding Du Wanchun's hand nervously, "Wanchun, tell me, why hasn't Ruiyuan come back yet?"
Du Wanchun smiled and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, my husband will definitely win the exam this time."
"Yeah." Aunt Zhou's face was full of smiles. Although she knew in her heart that he could win, she was still a little worried.
At this time, a carriage appeared at the entrance of the village.
Aunt Zhou looked at her and trotted over quickly, "Rui Yuan! Rui Yuan!"
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of her.
Aunt Zhou stopped and said with a smile: "Ruiyuan! How did you do in the provincial examination?"
Du Wanchun slowly came behind her.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and it was not Zhou Ruiyuan who came out, but the third prince.
The third prince changed his splendid clothes into a dark blue gown, looking like a passing squire.
