recalled something Qilian Yuran said many years ago.

"Ah Hong*, there will be a day when Feng Qin might try to kill Ning'er. I hope that when that time

comes, you can help me eliminate her without hesitation."

(*T/N: The Emperor's name is Xuanyuan Hong, this is an endearing way to call him.)

Hongjia Emperor thought of how he'll be able to see Qilian Yuran, who he hasn't seen in five years,

again tonight, his fist immediately tightened. Perhaps he shouldn't have married in that kind of woman

that year.

That year, if it wasn't for his action, then now, Consort Min should still be alive in this world. And it

wouldn't have caused Yukai and Yuning to lose their consort-mother in the end.

Meanwhile, Xian Consort was still resting in Yichun palace. Although she was a bit worried about her

shadow guard not returning yet, she still believed he wasn't someone that would act reckless. After all,

as her personal bodyguard, he's always treated her like a goddess.

"Your Highness, trouble! Commander Lin Yan has charged in with the Imperial Lin soldiers." A servant

girl frantically came and reported to Xian Consort.

Xian Consort didn't seem to be concerned and just plainly spoke, "What has the Imperial Lin army

come for?"

"This subordinate, Lin Yan, greets your Highness Xian Consort. This subordinate has received orders

to bring your Highness to the Seventh Princess's palace." Lin Yan replied to Xian Consort, neither

servile nor overbearing.

The Imperial Lin army belonged only to Hongjia Emperor. At the bottom of it, they only act on Hongjia

Emperor's orders.

"Lin Yan, you're just merely a commander, you actually dare to threaten this consort?" Xian Consort sat

up and looked to Lin Yan, speaking in a deep tone, "Aren't you afraid I'll report this to his Majesty!?"

Lin Yan coldly humphed. "Your Highness, if you want to tell his Majesty, you can go right now." He

glanced to the two people behind him. Those two directly walked up before Xian Consort and detained

her. "Your Highness, excuse us. Take her away."

When has Xian Consort ever received this kind of treatment before. When she looked to Lin Yan, she

shoved aside the guards next to her. "Lin Yan, wait until I met his Majesty. I will definitely have him

sentence you to death."

Lin Yan just coldly swept a glance at Xian Consort. Then he walked past her, minding his own

business.

Seeing Lin Yan ignoring her, Xian Consort could only follow the Imperial Lin army to the Seventh

Princess's palace. And what she didn't expect was that when she arrived, Xuanyuan Yuxiu was also

there. Her two cheeks where swollen like a pig's, with one look, you could tell she was punished.

"Xiu'er, what happened?" Xian Consort flung aside the two guards and immediately ran over next to

Xuanyuan Yuxiu. She hugged Xuanyuan Yuxiu at once and loudly berated, "You lowly slaves, how dare

you bully my Xiu'er like this."

"It's this Emperor's idea." Hongjia Emperor walked out from inside and coldly gazed to Xian Consort.

"Feng Qin, you sure have guts, to actually dare conspire against this Emperor's children."

Xian Consort didn't understand Hongjia Emperor's words. She pointed to Hongjia Emperor and spoke

in discontent, "Your Majesty, how can you wrongly accuse this consort like this!?"

"Wrongly accuse?" Hongjia Emperor glanced at the two people behind him. The two of them directly

threw the man in black's corpse before Xian Consort. "Don't tell this Emperor you don't recognize this

person?"

Xian Consort looked to the man lying before her and couldn't help widening her eyes. This person was

precisely her shadow guard. She had only let this man go help her investigate Su Qingyan, she didn't

expect that he was already dead.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed this consort's bodyguard." Xian Consort looked to Hongjia Emperor and

earnestly spoke, "But I don't know why he would appear here."

Xuanyuan Yukai looked to Xian Consort and coldly humphed. "I call you consort-mother out of respect,

yet you sent this person to kill my younger sister. Just what evil intentions are you harboring?"

Xian Consort listened to Xuanyuan Yukai's words and spoke in puzzlement, "When has this consort

ever send someone to kill the Seventh Princess?! This isn't this consort's doing. Your Majesty, this

consort didn't do this."

"Feng Qin." Hongjia Emperor directly called her name, "Have you already forgotten how Consort Min

died that year?"

Hearing Hongjia Emperor's words, Xian Consort immediately limped to the ground, "Did you really think

this Emperor doesn't know anything?"

Xian Consort wanted to walk over next to Hongjia Emperor, but her hand was flung aside by Hongjia

Emperor. "Feng Qin, it's not like this Emperor didn't give you a chance. She only left behind this pair of

children for this Emperor. Do you still need to get rid of them too?"

After staggering for a moment, Xian Consort directly sat down on the ground. She looked to Hongjia

Emperor, shaking her head, "Your Majesty, you have to believe me, I really didn't think about wanting to

harm the Seventh Princess!"

"Silence." Hongjia Emperor coldly interrupted her words. He pulled Xuanyuan Yuning over next to him

and immediately lifted her arm. On her fair white arm were very red whip marks all over. "This was all

done by that good daughter of yours!"

Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Xian Consort and shook her head. She'd never bullied Xuanyuan Yuning

before and had never hit her before either. "Imperial father.....this daughter has never done this!"

Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Hongjia Emperor with swollen cheeks and stammeringly spoke, "Someone

must want to frame this daughter."

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Yuzhen coldly snorted. "In this Imperial Palace, who doesn't know that ninth sister

is tyrannical. She completely inherited Xian Consort's personality." Xuanyuan Yuzhen said as he shot a

glance at Xian Consort sitting on the ground. "This prince has heard that anyone ninth sister doesn't

like, Xian Consort will take care of them."

Hongjia Emperor walked up before Xian Consort and grabbed her by the throat. "Feng Qin, just what

do you want?" It was as if as long as Hongjia Emperor used a little strength, her throat would snap in

half. "Why does this Emperor's harem have such a ruthless woman like you?"

"Your Majesty, you have to believe this consort. This consort didn't do it." Xian Consort looked to

Hongjia Emperor, still unwilling to admit to those crimes.

"Feng Qin, this Emperor gave you a chance." Hongjia Emperor said as he released his hand. "On the

account that you were once husband and wife with this Emperor, from today onwards, Xian Consort will

be demoted to Cainu* and sent to the cold palace."

(*T/N: A very low ranking imperial concubine rank.)

When Xian Consort heard this, she went limp at once. She had plotted for a lifetime, sat on the

consort's position for ten years, and now because of this matter, she was demoted to Cainu.

She suddenly recalled Su Qingyan that Xuanyuan Yuxiu mentioned previously. "Your Majesty, it must

be that wench Su Qingyan's doing. This consort really didn't ever harm the Seventh Princess."

"Thanks to your Highness Xian Consort's blessing, the Miss Su you speak of is still lying in the sleeping

chamber right now resting." Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Xian Consort and spoke also with a cold tone

and manner. "If it wasn't for that assassin, how could Yan'er have gotten hurt!"

Xian Consort simply couldn't figure out what had happened. She'd only let the guard go investigate Su

Qingyan's matter. How did she end up getting implicated in the end, moreover, directly demoted to

Cainu.

All in all, just what really happened? Why didn't it progress according to how she'd imagined?

"Drag her away." Hongjia Emperor still looked to Xian Consort in a cold manner, "This Emperor never

wants to see this woman again." Hongjia Emperor said as he waved his hand at the Imperial Lin

soldiers, signaling them to take her away.

A smile bloomed on Xuanyuan Yukai's lips as he watched Xian Consort, who got demoted to Cainu.

'Consort-mother, look, your son has avenged you. Your son has avenged you!'

When he thought of this, he tightly clenched his fist.
