Chapter 454: You’ll Get a Share for Breaking the Palace Rules

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

She came from the modern era and understood how crucial money was in this world.

After sitting down, she calmly stated, “1 can spare Miss Lin, but she has shown disrespect towards me. An apology from her is necessary.”

“Why should 1 apologize!” Lin Sisi roared. Not only did she not want to apologize, but she also even wanted to slap her!

Let her stir up trouble!

“Sisi, as my daughter-in-law, you should know the rules.”

Noble Consort Xiao’s perpetual smile turned cold. Lin Sisi thought of what Noble Consort Xiao had said to her the day before yesterday. She pursed her lips, suppressed the anger in her heart, and apologized to Han Yuwen.

However, she was worried about Su Yingxue. She walked to Su Yingxue’s side and advised her, “Dr. Su, why don’t you bear with it this time and apologize?”

Even after Lin Sisi apologized to Han Yuwen, she received no further comments.

It was never too late for a man to take revenge!

In the future, she would better wait and see!

Su Yingxue smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry about me. They won’t let me off so easily.”

“What? Dr. Su, then you…”

Chu Jinling pulled Lin Sisi aside and whispered, “If you keep acting up, you might end up taking over my imperial uncle’s affairs. Be cautious, he might become upset!”

Lin Sisi seemed to instantly understand and promptly made a face at Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue’s mouth twitched awkwardly. Chu Jinling was indeed… a die-hard fan of his imperial uncle!

However, his imperial uncle had not arrived yet, and Su Yingxue found that a bit strange. She decided to focus on dealing with the current situation.

Now, the empress reported to Chu Mingyuan, intending to punish Su Yingxue.

Chu Mingyuan’s attitude towards Su Yingxue had always been elusive. Now, he simply remarked, “Disrespecting the palace rules and the empress deserves punishment! Empress, handle it!”

The empress received the order and smiled arrogantly. “Yes!”

She looked at Han Yuwen in a good mood and said, “Princess Yuwen proposed an early palace banquet to add fun. Now, Su Yingxue has ruined it. Let her kneel in the hall until the state banquet ends. This will serve as a punishment and set an example for others who disrespect the palace rules!”

Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. The empress had thought it through, making her kneel until the end of the state banquet, at least for two hours. While she knelt, they could enjoy the performances and indulge in the feast.

Su Yingxue stood up slowly and lowered her eyes. “1 accept the punishment. However, before 1 kneel, 1 would like to ask the empress a question.”

“Go on,” the empress said, pleased with Su Yingxue’s miserable appearance.

“I may be late for the palace banquet, but if someone violates the palace rules, how should she be punished? Shouldn’t the punishment be more severe than what I receive?”

Su Yingxue’s demeanor was humble, and the empress didn’t notice for a moment. She blurted out, “Naturally! Violating the palace rules should be punishable by death!”

With a hint of a smile, Su Yingxue raised her head. “In that case, since Princess Yuwen has violated the palace rules and arbitrarily incited Your Majesty to change the timing of the state banquet, please impose a heavy punishment. This will serve as a deterrent and set an example for everyone!”

The empress and Han Yuwen’s expressions changed simultaneously.

Had Su Yingxue not asked that question in front of everyone, they could have accused her of disrespect. However, the empress had stated that breaking the palace rules should lead to execution!

As if feeling the pressure wasn’t enough, Su Yingxue even declared loudly, “Palace banquets have always been held at 10:45 pm. Princess Yuwen had the empress change the time of the palace banquet due to her personal preference. This not only violates the palace rules but also disrespects the empress.. With these two crimes, what does the empress think should be done?”
