Chapter 390: Concubine Rou is promoted to Concubine Rou, and Sun Changzai is promoted to Noble Lady
"Why do you think that you can threaten me just because you have held the imperial concubine hostage?"
This arrow hit the Duke of Zhenguo right in the back and went through his chest!
The tip of the arrow that emerged from his chest cut a big gash on Concubine Liu's arm!
The imperial guards around reacted very quickly, and when the Duke of Zhenguo let go of Concubine Liu, they raised their weapons and attacked him!
Concubine Liu fell to the ground, looked down at her bleeding arm, stunned.
"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"
Nangong Xuanyu strode up to Concubine Liu and extended a hand towards her.
Concubine Liu slowly raised her head and looked at him with eyes full of disbelief.
She really thought that His Majesty would let the Duke of Zhenguo go regardless of the consequences for her safety.
I really thought that His Majesty loved her very much...
Unexpectedly, that was just a means for His Majesty to paralyze the Duke of Zhenguo.
But...but Your Majesty, have you never thought that she is still in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo? If something unexpected happens, her life will be in danger...
Did Your Majesty not expect it, or...didn't care?
If it were her, she would not do it if there was even the slightest possibility of putting His Majesty in danger.
But His Majesty is the opposite...
For His Majesty, as long as he can get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo, he will do it even if she dies.
In his mind, no one can threaten him.
He always considered the dignity of the emperor more important than her life...
At this moment, Concubine Liu felt as if her heart was broken by a knife...
She ignored the emperor's outstretched hand, got up from the ground and smiled sadly.
It turns out that the most ridiculous thing in the world is to overestimate your position in other people's hearts.
The imperial physician hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Nangong Xuanyu said: "Hurry up and treat the wound for the imperial concubine!"
Concubine Liu sniffed, unable to explain what she felt in her heart: "I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
Nangong Xuanyu did not force it: "Imperial Physician, follow the Imperial Concubine back to Yongshou Palace and make sure to take good care of her injuries!"
"Wei Chen obeys!"
Shen Zhinian watched this scene from afar and was not surprised.
Men are mostly rational and realistic...
Once a woman is deceived by the tenderness they show and thinks she is the special one, the tragedy begins.
Sun Changzai's heart suddenly sank.
Before this, she always thought that His Majesty doted on Sister Roupin very much.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that if the person being held hostage today was Sister Roupin, His Majesty would probably have the same reaction.
Because the imperial power is supreme...
Zhan Weiran bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo has been executed. The rebels inside and outside the Yangxin Palace have also been completely wiped out!"
Nangong Xuanyu stared at the corpse of the Duke of Zhenguo, whose eyes were open after death, and stood in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with his hands behind his back. His eyes were deep, and he showed the inviolable majesty of the royal family!
Even covered in blood, it cannot conceal the sharp and noble aura around him!
When he ascended the throne, he made a great ambition to eliminate the powerful and treacherous step by step, restore the peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and usher in the prosperous era of peace!
For this reason, even if everyone says that he is an iron-blooded and cruel lord, even if he bears the infamy of a tyrant, he will not hesitate!
Now, we are finally halfway there!
"Long live His Majesty!!!"
No one knew who started it, but the Imperial Guards and Dragon Armored Army all knelt on one knee and shouted, "Long live His Majesty!!!"
Shen Zhinian and Sun Changzai looked at each other and knelt down at the same time: "Long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu turned around, strode towards them, and personally helped Shen Zhinian up: "Pass on my order--"
"Princess Rou and Concubine Sun were not afraid of the rebels and bravely protected the emperor. From today on, Concubine Rou will be promoted to Concubine Rou, and Concubine Sun will be promoted to a noble lady!"
As for Concubine Liu...
Li Changde thought, although the Imperial Concubine had good intentions, in many cases, good intentions are not always effective. If she dragged her feet in important events, she was wrong.
If the Duke of Zhenguo escapes today because of her, all the efforts of His Majesty and so many ministers will be in vain.
It's good enough that the imperial concubine is not questioned...
Shen Zhinian and Sun Changzai were both stunned.
Even though Shen Zhinian already knew that what she did today would definitely impress Nangong Xuanyu and benefit from it, she never thought that Nangong Xuanyu would promote her to the position of concubine because of the rule that a woman without a child cannot be made a concubine!
After realizing what was happening, the two of them quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Lady Sun is still feeling a little dizzy...
Looking at all the dynasties, there were many concubines in the harem, and they all stayed there for their entire lives.
She thought that she would have to wait until she was lucky enough to become pregnant with the royal heir before she could be promoted to a noble lady.
I didn’t expect... She just followed Sister Roupin on this trip and she became a noble lady?
The imperial guards were already cleaning the scene in an orderly manner.
Although the rebels were wiped out, there are still many things that need to be dealt with afterwards.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian and said gently, "Let the guards escort you back to Zhongcui Palace first. I will come to see you later."
"Concubine, please retire!"
Concubine Sun also bowed and left.
In the situation just now, too many people would cause chaos. When Shen Zhinian left Zhongcui Palace, he ordered the two remaining Dragon Armor soldiers to guard the place and not let anyone in or out.
Although Nanny Lin and the others were extremely anxious, they had no other options but to wait at the door.
When everyone saw the two figures, they were surprised, but then they were scared out of their wits!
"Oh my god! Why is there so much blood on the queen's body?!"
"My lady, where are you hurt?!"
"Where's the imperial physician? Why didn't the imperial physician come with us?"
"..."
Shen Zhinian looked down and was speechless for a moment.
Nangong Xuanyu's clothes were covered in blood, and since he hugged her tightly, of course her body was also stained with blood.
"Don't be nervous. I am not injured. This blood belongs to the rebels."
Nanny Lin and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God! God bless us!"
"Go and boil some hot water so that the queen can take a bath and change her clothes!"
By the time Shen Zhinian had washed and dressed again, what had happened in the Yangxin Palace had spread throughout the entire harem.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they all knelt down to salute: "Your servants/servants congratulate the queen on her promotion to the position of consort. Congratulations!"
"My lady, this is such a great thing!"
They had always thought that the Empress would have to wait until she gave birth to a royal heir before she could be promoted, but they didn't expect it to be so soon!
Moreover, the queen was promoted this time because of her meritorious service in protecting the emperor. Even the adults in the court could not criticize this matter.
Unlike when Concubine Wen was first made a concubine, there were censors every day who scolded her for being a treacherous concubine who seduced the emperor!
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Everyone, get up."
"reward!"
The queen was crowned as a concubine, and the rebels were wiped out. The whole Zhongcui Palace was filled with joy!
