Suddenly Concubine
32: Punishment.

"Honor my servant Consort Xia, sorry I have to check all the residences because the Empress was poisoned." said General Yen bowed respectfully..

"Please !"

General Yen nodded, and the soldiers searched Xia Ming Yue's residence..

After a while, one of the soldiers found a bottle and gave it to General Yen..

Right at the same time Emperor Xiowen, the palace physician, Prince Bai and Consort Chu came to Xia Ming Yue's residence..

Xia Ming Yue closed her eyes, her saliva felt dry, she wished her heart was strong against it..

"Sincerely, Your Majesty. Servant found this." said General Yen bowed respectfully he thrust a bottle..

"Check.." said Emperor Xiowen staring at Xia Ming Yue.

The palace physician then took it, he smelled the liquid in the bottle..

"Sincerely, Your Majesty. This is the same poison." explains the Physician..

Everyone was shocked, Xia Ming Yue squeezed her hanfu.. "Get out !" the Emperor Xiowen.

Everyone is respectful. They left behind Emperor Xiowen and Xia Ming Yue..

"Say ! did you do it?"

"Your Majesty has seen it.."

Emperor Xiowen stared intently at Xia Ming Yue, their gazes meeting each other..

"What should I do to you Consort Xia, what am I lacking ? I've tried to treat you well, even I'm starting to love you, but why do you let me down." Emperor Xiowen snapped..

Xia Ming Yue was startled to listen to Emperor Xiowen's snaps. Xia Ming Yue instantly turned her face away..

Emperor Xiowen walked up to Xia Ming Yue, he gripped his chin violently. Emperor Xiowen looked towards Xia Ming Yue's eyes.

Why ? why ? in his eyes there was neither regret nor fear..

Emperor Xiowen threw out his grip violently.

"From now on, stay in the cold palace and never expect to get out." said Emperor Xiowen with great emphasis passed away..

Xia Ming Yue looked down.. "My sister believes you won't do it." said Concubine Chu she tightly hugged Xia Ming Yue..

"True Sister-in-law, we don't believe it." Prince Bai's chimpanzee..

"But the evidence.."

"No Xia'er whatever you do there must be a reason." Concubine Chu said she let go of her embrace looking at Xia Ming Yue.

"Sister, calm down, I will beg Your Majesty not to punish you.."

"Thank you Big Brother, I'm fine." Xia Ming Yue replied with a smile.

"All right, brother, take care of yourself."

Xia Ming Yue lowered her head, then she passed away to replace her hanfu with plain white hanfu that was only aided by Fu's servants..

"Xia'er I believe you won't do it." said servant Fu..

"Thank you Auntie.."

Xia Ming Yue walked out of her residence, she stared at her entire residence..

Concubine Chu and Prince Bai looked at Xia Ming Yue, they also escorted Xia Ming Yue to the cold palace.

In the distance Emperor Xiowen looked at Xia Ming Yue from the direction of his window, towards the cold palace.

"Why ? why ? you did, I can't believe it." said Emperor Xiowen..

Other side..

Empress Lan Ning who was listening to a good news..

he laughed..

"Alright, servant Lu gave 10 gold cloths to all my servants, today I am very happy, I can finally get rid of them." said Empress Lan Ning smiling slylyly...

At night in the cold palace..

"Xia'er this food was sent from the palace, you should eat not look at the moon often. The moon will not be far away from the stars." said the servant Fu chuckled, looking at Xia Ming Yue who was sitting in her window staring at the Moon..

As Fu's waiter opened the food cover, they were surprised to see rice and vegetables.

"What the hell are they just giving us food like this." said the maid Fu in annoyance..

"Wait here, I'll ask the kitchen waiter to give you a nice meal.."

"Wait for Auntie you don't have to do it, we eat potluck, but I'm still full Auntie just eat it." Xia Ming Yue smiled.

"Auntie wait here, I'll be out for a minute.."

"Alright, don't get caught, you need some fresh air.."

Xia Ming Yue nodded, she walked out through the window earlier...
