Xia Ruqing was quite surprised at this.
"Demoted to Consort Ning Pin, and the Eldest Princess is handed over to Consort Hui to watch over?"
This punishment was indeed unexpected.
The Emperor truly is ruthless and doesn't say much!
"Exactly!"
"Ever since the Empress left the palace, Consort Ning has been secretly targeting us!"
"Now, we can finally raise our heads with pride!"
Zi Yue sighed with relief as she spoke.
Beside her, Zi Su wore an indignant expression.
"Serves her right!"
"Saves us from having to do it ourselves!"
Zi Yue quickly frowned and tugged at her.
"Don't speak carelessly!"
Zi Su hurriedly fell silent and lowered her head.
Xia Ruqing didn't react much, and after a while, she seemed thoughtful and said.
"Do you think... this is too cruel?"
