Empress
Episode 83

Lately Minister Yun continued to visit Xiao shi's residence. Yet Xiao Shi had always been reluctant to meet. He knew what the minister was going to say, and he thought it was unnecessary. Xiao shi was going to meet the yun minister when everything was done.

" Has the concubines gathered?" Ask Xiao Shi.

" Of course, Your Honor. Everything has gathered together including the grand concubine" yanran replied as he styled xiao shi's hair. A lot changed after Yanran came out of the paddle. Many Yuan tasks were given to Yanran, both of them so hold important things. This Xiao shi did so that in the future he would have a reason to go out in order to be able to bring the two.

Once everything was ready, xiao shi headed immediately to the place he had already provided.

" HIS MAJESTY THE EMPRESS IS ENTERING KAMASAANNN!!!"

Everyone got up and saluted as soon as they saw Xiao Shi enter and sit in his chair.

" Sit down" Xiao shi said.

Everyone went back to their original place. The atmosphere in the room felt extremely cold and tense as soon as Xiao shi walked in. How not? The aura of hostility between Xiao Shi and the grand concubine felt extremely dense.

" Thank you for complying with my request and gathering here. As we know about some recent events between the great concubine and other concubines. Just get to the point, why has none of you dared to report it to me since the beginning of the incident?" Xiao shi asked as he stared at the concubines one by one.

The atmosphere was silent, all lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to answer.

" I guarantee your safety" Xiao Shi continued.

But still no one makes a sound.

" After some events, there was finally 1 concubine who reported. I can't give you your identity right now, but I admit her courage." Xiao shi stared at each other with Consort Yi.

" The inner palace is under my control, the emperor cannot interfere if I make a decision on what is happening here. Do you still not want to talk?" Asked Xiao shi once more.

The atmosphere was still silent, even some people who had been tortured and instigated by Xiao Shi also still did not speak.

" Well, 'cause I don't think anyone's been hurt. I think the great concubine is innocent here, so I decided not to punish sel—"

" Your Majesty" xiao shi's remark was cut off.

" You want to say something concubine min?" Now it is not only her who wears the veil, but the concubine min as well. This was because of Mao's actions at that time.

" I'm sorry for the leniency of the servant cutting off your speech. However, the servant cannot accept if the grand concubine is not punished at all"

" Why?"

Concubine min opened her veil. There is a visible incision wound that is now being inflamed on his cheek. That wound looks so disgusting. " This is the great concubine"

His words made all the concubines surprised, they did not expect the grand concubine to do so closely.

Mao glared in disbelief that the lowly concubine would say so. He was about to rebel and scold her but her mouth could not be opened. She was even about to groom concubine Min but suddenly her body also felt stiff. This is Yanran. He used his magic to restrain and control Mao.

After concubine min finally all the concubines who had been tortured also voiced and showed evidence of wounds that they could. After going through the process of negotiations and discussions with the victims finally the decision punishment has been obtained.

" all right. I will give everyone 3 times the chance to vent your anger on the great concubine. Only 3 occasions, without any aids and weapons. Use your own hands. Do not do anything that can take lives. Do not attack the stomach area, and **** **********. If you guys break his rules, then you guys will I'll punish" this is the decision that Xiao Shi chose.

Mao glared in disbelief, preferring to be given a caning rather than be punished directly by the concubines he hurt. It would be unexpected, whether it hurt what he would receive.

Mao was made to stand in front of Xiao Shi, still unable to move due to yanran magic. One by one the concubines advanced to punish him, the first to advance was concubine min. The first thing he did was slap Mao in the face. Then punched the area of his nose, even though his hand was sore but min was happy when he saw blood flowing from Mao's nose. And the last thing he did was claw Mao's face with his nails. His anger was unleashed, he felt that even though this was not comparable to how he felt. But this is enough. Then min went back to his chair and saw the next show.

Other concubines who became victims also did the same thing, some grabbed him, punched him in the eye, tried to wrap his hand, and so on. All of that was under Xiao shi's tutelage.

" With this, I lowered the title of grand concubine Yun to a level 5 special concubine." Xiao shi said as he looked at Mao who was also looking at him with a look of disdain.

Everyone was surprised, how could he be lowered to that low. It was the lowest position among all the concubines of the king's daughters and the Minister's sons. None of the king's daughters and the minister's sons occupied that level. Their lowest tier was only at tier 4, whereas Mao was lowered at tier 5? This was only at a level different from the concubines who came from servants and ordinary people.

" And because the position of the great concubine must not be empty. With this I also announced to raise Consort Yi to be a grand concubine for her courage to report the cruel acts that occurred in the inner palace" Xiao shi nodded his head towards Concubine Yi who was in shock. Of course, how could he not be surprised. She reported it just because she felt that what happened was not right, as a level 3 concubine she never thought of becoming a grand concubine. It's completely beyond his expectations.

While all the concubines whispered and were surprised as well, they thought that if they reported it they might be the great concubines. But they must admit, the behavior of concubine Yi had always deserved a thumbs up. She deserves to be a great concubine. Even the level 1 concubines also acknowledged his speed.

Yuan gave a scroll containing the decree of the appointment of the Great Concubine to Yi. Concubine Yi immediately tangled up and received the scroll with a still shocked feeling.

" This appointment has been approved by the queen mother and the emperor. Tidy up your belongings today, and move to the residence of the grand concubine tomorrow morning" Xiao Shi said.

" Thank you for your noble generosity." Reply Yi while accepting the scroll of his decision.

Not until there, suddenly some servants enter while carrying a box. They thought maybe this was the next gift for Consort Yi, no no, Grand Consort Yi. Yes, she was already officially a grand concubine when she received the scroll.

Concubine Yi got up and gave her scroll to her personal servant. He did not expect to get any more presents, for him, this was all enough.

Xiao shi smiled as soon as he saw that the box was already stored on the table. " As I said before, if anyone breaks my orders and tries to approach the grand concubine before while she is under house arrest. Then he will...." Xiao shi deliberately hung up his remark and asked yanran to use his magic to open the box before him.

After the box opened the atmosphere became very noisy due to the cries of the surprised concubines. How could? The contents of the box were not gifts, but the head of Mao's personal servant.

" From now on, you should know that I never play with my words."

Xiao Shi stared at Mao's face which was already filled with tears. Between enduring pain due to blows and scratches from concubines. And also his heart ache because he saw his personal butler now on the table.

" And one more thing" Xiao Shi said amidst everyone's shock. Again Xiao shi gave Yanran the code. And Yanran also used his magic so that a scroll appeared before the concubines. They got one roll each.

" I have arranged the schedule of the emperor's visit so that you can all be with him fairly. Please take a look and prepare yourself according to the schedule" after saying that Xiao Shi immediately left the room.

None of the concubines saluted or moved a bit. They were all too confused by the circumstances. They are made happy, afraid, and made happy again. Oh god, the empress really played on the feelings and mood of all of them.

It was only when they were all busy unrolling and seeing when it was their turn with the Emperor. Even they all ignored the head that was still stored on the table, as well as Mao who was crushed and crying.

While Xiao Shi was on his way to the residence.

" You're getting harder to guess. Why not sad events just happy? You make people feel down and up" Yuan whispered to Xiao Shi.

" Isn't that a good closing?" Xiao shi replied. Yuan and Yanran just shook their heads in disbelief at Xiao shi's response.
