Chapter 956: Chapter 956-In for a penny, in for a pound
In Jiaofang Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao had changed her position many times, and the most loyal ones would follow her orders. With Empress Dowager Xiao’s order, how could there be any hesitation?
In the entire harem, the palace maids and eunuchs might have to think about which side of the wind would be advantageous to them, but in the Jiaofang Palace, it was undoubtedly Empress Dowager Xiao’s world. They all followed her lead and did not hold back. It was important to be happy and win the Empress Dowager’s favor.
The two eunuchs each took one side, and the in-charge nanny rolled up her arms and sleeves. In just a few moves, Chu Jiuniang’s face swelled up.
Chu Jiuniang never thought that Empress Dowager Xiao would dare to use such underhanded methods. These palace maids and eunuchs also dared to do as she was told.
In the imperial harem of Daliang, one should not hit one’s face when hitting someone, not even the palace maids. In the end, she, the high and mighty Imperial Consort, who had the Chu family as her backing and the Fifth Prince by her side, actually suffered such humiliation.
It could be said that the psychological trauma was even more embarrassing than the one on her face.
Of course, his face hurt as well. He had never been beaten up in his life.
The old nanny looked emaciated, but she actually had such strength. Seeing her clench her teeth, she used all her strength.
“Madam Xiao, how dare you! And you dog slaves, I, Chu Jiu, will not let you off!”
He shouted until his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
Since she was destined to offend one, the old nanny had lived in the palace for a long time, so she would definitely stand on the side.
Empress Dowager Xiao and Consort Chu were like fire and water in the palace. On the other hand, Consort Pan and the Emperor’s mother, Consort Lu, were as quiet as a chicken. The palace was naturally divided into two factions. The old nanny was bound to stand on Empress Dowager Xiao’s side, so she was even more merciless. In for a penny, in for a pound, blood appeared at the corner of her mouth after a few spasms.
If Empress Dowager Xiao did not call for her to stop, she would not stop either. After a total of ten blows, Empress Dowager Xiao vented her anger. Consort Chu cried and shouted until her throat was split. She no longer had the strength to shout, so Empress Dowager Xiao finally called for her to stop.
“The Chu family didn’t teach you the rules of being a concubine. I’ll teach you after you enter the palace. This is only a lesson. If you are fine, then forget it. If you dare to be disrespectful again and cause trouble in the Jiaofang Palace, teach the subordinates to be bad, and teach the Fifth Prince to be abolished, don’t say that I, the Empress Dowager, have turned my back on you.”
“You may leave.”
How could she allow Chu Jiuniang to retreat? She had originally planned to catch her breath and charge up to fight Empress Dowager Xiao. Who would give her such a chance? With a glance, two eunuchs carried Chu Taifei out of the Jiaofang Palace.
Empress Dowager Xiao did not leave any space for Consort Chu. She directly asked the Imperial Palace to personally make a trip to Taiji Palace and the government office to call Xie Xian and Chu Yan over.
“Go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine first and call the imperial physician over. Tell the Grand Tutor and the guards that I fainted from anger because of that b * tch from the Chu Corporation. Tell them to immediately put down what they’re doing and come to the Jiaofang Palace. If they’re a little slower, they’ll be wailing for me too!”
Seeing Empress Dowager Xiao’s posture, the Imperial Prince did not dare to delay. However, he did not dare to run. He walked all the way to Taiji Palace.
Fortunately, a few ministers were still present, discussing court politics.
Shang Yi knew that Empress Dowager Xiao’s intention was to make a big fuss, so she did not go behind her back. She told everyone that Consort Chu had caused a ruckus in the Jiaofang Palace and angered Empress Dowager Xiao until she fainted. She did not exaggerate. After all, Chu Yan’s surname was also Chu, and she could not offend him directly. She had to be careful. Consort Chu relied on the Chu family in the harem. Chu Yan’s attitude would directly affect Consort Chu’s future reliance. Even if the Shang Palace did not care about Consort Chu’s reputation, they had to take care of Chu Yan. In front of so many people.
The result was that those who could sit in high positions at such a young age were not simple people. Seeing that the other party’s face did not change and his heart did not beat, he actually did not show any emotion at all.
Shang Yi’s heart was beating fast, not knowing what to do.
Xie Xian and Chu Yan exchanged a look. The two of them apologized to the others and walked straight to the harem.
The ministers wanted to watch the show, but since no one invited them, they couldn’t just follow them.
“.. This Consort Chu was too pretentious. She never stopped.”After Emperor Yong Ping’s death, Pan Shuo had been promoted to a higher position, so he had a place everywhere.
The imperial court of Daliang had changed several times, but Pan Shuo had never changed his personality. He was a little calculating and straightforward.
Xu Erlang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said,”I wonder what the Chu family’s attitude is. Is it…” I also have the intention to disobey Empress Dowager Xiao.”
Without the support of the Chu family, Chu Taifei must be a brave warrior to dare to do this. The average warrior had more developed limbs, but lacked brains. freewebnoveℓ.com
Minister Xi of the Ministry of Justice pretended not to hear him. It had nothing to do with him and he would not interfere.
The Minister of Rites was even more ambitious. After his daughter miscarried, she had no children. After the late emperor died, he found a way to become a monk. In less than two months, he reported his illness and moved to a big house in another place to settle down. In another two years, he could find a good family and remarry.
Who cares what happened in the palace? It had nothing to do with his daughter.
It was lonely in the palace. She could not remarry after giving birth to a child for the royal family. What entertainment did she have to spend day and night in the palace? They were not people who held great power and could not influence the government. It was a small matter if a person’s head was beaten up.
Haha.
The few Yellow Sects were quiet and didn’t dare to get involved.
She raised her little neck and waited for the next round, wanting to know who would win this round.
Empress Dowager Xiao did not have a family in Jingdou, but she was related to the Xie family. The new Emperor was also supported by Xie Xian, so it was definitely easier to form a line inside.
Empress Dowager Xiao and Imperial Consort Chu could actually be seen as the Xie family and the Chu family.
Whether the east wind would prevail over the west wind or the west wind would prevail over the east wind, they would wait and see.

When Xie Xian and Chu Yan arrived, the imperial physician had just arrived to check Empress Dowager Xiao’s pulse.
Although it wasn’t a big deal, with Empress Dowager Xiao’s deliberate publicity, everyone knew that Consort Chu had caused a ruckus in the Jiaofang Palace. The two palaces were in the middle of a second battle. The first was, of course, the battle for the throne in front of Emperor Yongping’s spirit.
This was the second time. Even if the imperial physician had not eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He knew how to deal with it.
It was nothing more than attacking the heart with anger and anxiety. He prescribed some soothing medicine to soothe the liver and replenish qi, as well as warm tonic medicine to replenish blood and qi. In addition, he verbally said that it was a little more serious.
This Young Imperial Physician Wei had a close relationship with Xie Xian, so he naturally sided with the Xie Clan.
He very simply drew the line between Empress Dowager Xiao and Xie Xian. No matter what, she had lived in the Xie family before. Since they were related by blood, they had to be closer.
“.. This widow has no other intentions in inviting the two of you to Jiaofang Palace. I just wanted to ask… What did the Chu family mean by protecting the army? Did they not accept the new emperor, did they not trust the posthumous edict envoy, or did they not accept this empress dowager? They actually allowed the imperial concubine to be so domineering, bullying this widow time and time again.”
