Chapter 375: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 23
In the east hall of Yihedian, palace lanterns swayed, illuminating the busy figures of palace maids.

Yu Yao was not sure whether the dog emperor would come, but thinking that the dog emperor had promised last night, he would not go back on his word. So she washed and dressed up and went to wait at the door of Yihe Hall.

I happened to meet Miao Cairen who was coming back from a walk.

When Miao Cairen saw her, hostility flashed in her eyes and she said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Concubine Qin? What are you doing here so late at night? Are you doing something shameful?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao's face instantly turned cold, and she responded rudely, "What are you talking about, Master Miao? I just came out for a walk at night. Master Miao, you are so weird, did you eat something that you can't digest?"

Because Emperor Jing did not recognize Miao Cairen last night, this matter had already spread throughout the six palaces.

As a result, Miao Cairen's food allowance plummeted. It was said that at noon, when the eunuchs beside Miao Cairen went to the imperial kitchen to pick up the food, they had to wait longer than usual, and the food they brought back was still cold.

When Miao Cairen heard the words "indigestible food", she remembered the meal she brought back from the imperial study today. Not only was it cold, but it was also greasy. She ate two bites and then stopped.

Her face suddenly turned gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, Concubine Qin is really sharp-tongued. Don't think you can be arrogant just because you are favored for one day. The favor of the harem can change at any time."

Yu Yao smiled faintly, with a look of disdain, "Miao Cairen, you should worry more about yourself. I will not bother you with my favor."

At this moment, Emperor Jing appeared with steady steps, wearing a black brocade robe, with an upright posture, as proud as a green pine or cypress.

Her black hair was loosely tied up with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fluttered gently in the night breeze. Her peach blossom eyes were deep and charming, as if hiding endless secrets.

Under the high nose bridge, his thin lips are tightly pursed, he is suave and elegant, and exudes an innate majesty.

Following behind was Lu Xi.

The young eunuch at the door saw the emperor appear and was about to announce it loudly.

But Emperor Jing raised his hand to stop him.

As soon as he stepped into the Yihe Hall, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was not right. He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

When Miao Cairen saw Emperor Jing, her expression suddenly changed 180 degrees, from gloomy to surprised, just like a fly seeing dog shit, hurriedly twisting its waist and sticking to it.

She said in a delicate voice: "I greet the emperor. I was just chatting with Sister Qin just now."

When he was greeting, he deliberately revealed his slightly open collar and the back of his snow-white neck, as if he wanted to lure the person into his room immediately.

Emperor Jing's eyes swept across the skin that Miao Cairen deliberately exposed, his brows furrowed even tighter, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

He ignored Miao Cairen and turned his gaze to Yu Yao with a much softer expression, "What happened just now? Why did I hear you guys arguing from afar?"

Yu Yao walked forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I thought you said you would come last night, so I waited here early. I happened to run into Miao Cairen, and she asked me if I was doing something shameful so late at night. I was so angry that I argued with Miao Cairen for a few words."

Miao Cairen was standing nearby. When she heard this, she panicked and her face turned pale. She hurried forward to argue, "Your Majesty, it's not like that. I was just joking with Sister Qin."

This bitch, it turns out she knew the emperor would come, so she waited here on purpose, and even lied to me that she was just going out for a walk. She is so scheming.

The disgust in Emperor Jing's eyes grew even stronger, and he didn't want to listen to her explanation at all.

He tilted his head slightly and instructed Lu Xi who was standing beside him, "Lu Xi, move the talented lady to a place where I can't see her."

Lu Xi hurriedly walked forward, his eyes fell on Miao Cairen, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

Isn't the place that the emperor can't see near the cold palace? Living there is basically the same as being banished to the cold palace.

But he would not sympathize with Miao Cairen. He just thought that this woman was stupid. It was bad enough that she didn't know how to read the emperor's expression, but she also hung around in front of the emperor several times. It was normal for her to end up like this.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Xi bowed slightly and responded respectfully.

Miao Cairen was horrified. Even if she was stupid, she knew that the emperor hated her. If she really moved to a place where the emperor couldn't see her, she would be finished.

Her face turned pale, and she knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again. Please don't move me away."

While Miao Cairen was crying and begging, she secretly glanced at Emperor Jing's face, but she only saw that he was full of boredom and impatience.

She became more and more panicked and really scared. She cried even harder and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.

She didn't care about her image at this moment. Her makeup was smudged, her hair was loose, and her tears and snot were all mixed together. It was so disgusting.

Yu Yao watched coldly, thinking that the talented person deserved to end up like this.

Seeing the emperor's annoyed look, Lu Xi turned around and shouted to the eunuchs behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you quickly drag Miao Cairen down? Who of you can afford to disturb the emperor?" "Yes, Eunuch Lu."

Several young eunuchs looked panicked, but after they realized what was happening, they pulled away Miao Cairen, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, from the left and right.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

From afar, one could hear Miao Cairen's shrill cry for mercy, which sounded particularly mournful in the silent night.

When Concubine Zhuang heard the noise and rushed over, she just happened to see Concubine Miao being dragged away by the young eunuch.

She didn't understand what was going on at first, but after asking the palace maids around her, she found out the reason.

She glanced at Yu Yao inconspicuously. Although Concubine Miao brought her own death upon herself, it also indirectly showed that Concubine Qin was different in the emperor's heart.

Concubine Zhuang was thinking secretly in her heart, but her face remained calm. She slowly walked to the front of Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Emperor Jing looked at Concubine Zhuang and asked in a low voice, "No need to be polite. Why are you here so late?"

Concubine Zhuang stood up, smiled slightly, and said gently and dignifiedly: "I heard the crying of Concubine Miao, and I didn't know what happened, so I came to see."

Emperor Jing nodded slightly, "It's just that Miao Cairen doesn't know the rules, so I will punish him slightly."

Concubine Zhuang knew the reason a long time ago, but as the mistress of Yihe Palace, she also had an unshirkable responsibility for what happened to Miao Cairen.

Her face was filled with panic, and she quickly stepped forward to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, calm down. Miao Cairen is a member of my palace. I did not teach her well, so please punish me."

Emperor Jing frowned and looked at Concubine Zhuang. "Miao Cairen herself doesn't know the rules, what does it have to do with you?"

"That being said, as the mistress, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

Concubine Zhuang bowed again and spoke in fear.

Emperor Jing didn't want to pay any more attention to Concubine Zhuang, and just said, "Alright, Concubine Miao has been moved out by my order. She is no longer a member of your palace. Go back."

After saying this, he pulled Yu Yao to the east hall.

Concubine Zhuang stood up and looked at the emperor and Concubine Qin leaving, feeling mixed emotions.

"My lady, this wonderful talent?"

Jin Xin walked forward to support Concubine Zhuang, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Concubine Zhuang waved her hands and whispered, "Miao Cairen is stupid, ostentatious, and jealous. She shows everything on her face. It is not surprising that she would end up like this."

"Your Majesty is right. When Miao Cairen was in favor, even Your Majesty didn't take her seriously. She really deserves it now."

Jin Xin had long hated Miao Cairen, so she was naturally happy to learn of her fate.

The ladies in the Yihe Palace are all very easy-going and easy to get along with, except Miao Cai.

I just felt that Miao Cairen had moved away, and I could have peace and quiet from now on.

Concubine Zhuang was in a good mood as well. She smiled and said, "Alright, now that people are like this, why add insult to injury? Let's go back."

After saying this, he took Jinxin's hand and returned to the main hall.

In the west hall, candlelight flickered.

Lady Shu lazily leaned on the couch, playing with a silk handkerchief in her hand, with a slight smile on her face. "This talented person was arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Now he has ended up like this. It's all his own fault."

The maid Bi Yuan happily echoed, "Isn't it? When this wonderful talent was in favor, she bullied the young lady a lot. Now that the emperor has moved her to a place where she can't be seen, her good days are over."

Shu Meiren sighed slightly, and couldn't help but think of herself, her expression full of melancholy.

Although Miao Cairen was moved by the emperor to a place where the emperor couldn't see her, how good was she?
It would have been fine if I couldn’t see the emperor before, but now that the emperor has been visiting Concubine Qin for two days in a row, I have the opportunity to see him.

But the emperor still doesn't like me, and he still won't even look at me, and doesn't show me any favor.

"Alas, when will the emperor see me? I don't ask for much honor and favor, I just want a son or a daughter to be by my side, someone to rely on, that's enough."

Lady Shu spoke in a low voice with a lost look on her face.
