When the empress dowager spoke these words with justice, Chen Yuanqing opened his mouth a few times, but in the end, no one was able to refute her.

He could contradict the Empress Dowager for his sister, but that would be denying himself, especially admitting that he was not a qualified commander.

"But Rou-Er's health isn't good. Your twenty boards … how about the empress dowager punish this one? This was my idea, it has nothing to do with Rou-Er."

"This Dowager has already said, as long as she wants to enter the palace to become her Imperial Concubine Rou, she must accept these 20 boards. You are acting as her Minister of War, using your own subordinates to do anything, This Dowager has no right to care."

Chen Yuanqing looked at the empress dowager angrily. She never thought that the empress dowager would be so harsh on her own sister, he felt a little disappointed.

He could not allow his own sister to be punished, and he still wanted to fight for it again. He had even thought about it, that if the empress dowager insisted on punishing him, he would bring his sister away. This kind of palace, this kind of man, Chen Yuanqing was not willing to let his sister down.

However, before he could speak, the gentle voice from outside the door had already sounded out. "Elder brother, this is little sister's fault. The empress dowager's punishments were right, I've overstepped my boundaries. Empress Dowager, Master Wen, I'm willing to accept punishment."

Chen Yurou was dressed in light red wedding dress, her tall hair was tied up with a few Eastern Pearls, and fine tassels hung down from her forehead, causing her face to become even whiter. Her delicate body slowly walked over from outside the hall.

After saying that, Chen Yurou knelt in front of the empress dowager, while Chen Yuanqing walked to Chen Yurou's side, knelt down, and said in a low voice, "No, your health is not good, Big Brother will definitely not let you suffer grievances."

"Big brother, the empress dowager has already said that if I want to enter the palace and become the emperor's Imperial Concubine Rou, I must be punished." Chen Yurou glanced at Chen Yuanqing with tears in his eyes, and his gaze landed on Song Yunqian who was not far away.

was currently staring at Chen Yurou, and upon seeing her deep love in her eyes, her heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. Song Yunqian was also looking at Chen Yurou, but what he saw was only the light bitterness and bitterness in her eyes.

Song Yunqian was a little flustered by Chen Yurou's gaze. He looked at Wen Yi in panic, and Wen Yi was also looking at him.

Wen Yi thought that Song Yunqian had no feelings for his, so she didn't mind. But now, she realised that he did care and she thought that he could blandly watch Song Yunqian and the other girls getting along with each other.

"Someone, bring them down." Naturally, Wen Yi's emotions would not slip past her eyes. After he finished speaking, he slowly walked toward Wen Yi, ignoring the venomous look that Chen Yuanqing had given him.

The guard very quickly brought Chen Yurou away, so of course Chen Yuanqing followed closely behind. However, Song Yunqian approached Wen Yi and said softly, "Don't worry, my heart is very small."

Wen Yi looked at Song Yunqian and wanted to shake his head, she wanted to tell him that if he could be together with Chen Yurou, it would also be good. After all, Chen Yurou truly loved him, but she realized that she was selfish enough to not even want to talk.

"Qian, have you forgotten that we're at a stalemate? You were too impatient just now." Wen Yi finally changed her mind and reminded her seriously.

When Chen Yuanqing suddenly attacked just now, she had clearly dodged it, but Song Yunqian was still worried. With how he cared, he was afraid of the rumors outside, so he would not believe it right?

"Don't worry, all of his thoughts are on his precious sister." Song Yunqian did not really agree, although Chen Yuanqing was arrogant and despotic, he was just a mere Chen Yuanqing, he could not even make such a big fuss, it was not enough for him to go left and right.

"Hopefully, don't do this in the future …"

Song Yunqian did not answer. He wanted to tell Wen Yi that his concern for her had long ago become instinctive, and no matter how well they planned, he could not calm himself down in front of her safety.

When Chen Yuanqing carried the bloodied Chen Yurou into the great hall, the rage in his eyes was already like fire, shining like the sun as it landed on the body of the empress dowager, Wen Yi, and Song Yunqian.

"Can you still stand up?" Looking at Chen Yurou being dyed blood-red, Wen Yi was a little shocked. She did not expect that those guards would actually be merciless when they were punishing her.

"Wen Yi, there is no need for you to pretend to be nice." When Chen Yuanqing opened his mouth, the anger in Chen Yuanqing's eyes became even stronger, and his tone carried a bit of anger.

Wen Yi laughed helplessly, as if no matter what happened, Chen Yuanqing would be able to vent his anger on him.

"Imperial Concubine Rou, if you can still stand up, then pay your respects to This Dowager. The Emperor still has Master Wen to greet. If you can't, go back and rest first. Wait until your body is better before coming back to make up for it." Hearing Chen Yuanqing's words, the empress dowager's face became even more unsightly, but she did not make a fuss about it with Chen Yuanqing, and only spoke to him.

Chen Yurou's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the empress dowager with a wronged expression, then at the indifferent Song Yunqian. Finally, she struggled to stand up in Chen Yuanqing's embrace, endured the pain on her back, and kneeled down, bowing respectfully.

Looking at the weak and firm girl kneeling on the ground and bowing, Wen Yi felt her heart ache. She wanted to stand up several times, but the empress dowager seemed to understand Wen Yi's intentions.

"Chen Yuanqing, take your sister to the Rou Yi Hall. The Consort's ceremony will be held there." Song Yunqian instructed softly.

Chen Yuanqing was stunned again. He thought that the Emperor would go with him; after all, this was his sister's consort ceremony.

Chen Yuanqing felt the hand that was grabbing onto his arm suddenly tighten, he looked down to see his sister who was being protected by him, the tears in her eyes were about to fall, Chen Yuanqing felt an indescribable pain, and finally he opened his mouth to ask: "Your Majesty, are you not going?"

As soon as Chen Yuanqing finished speaking, the eyes of several people in the hall turned towards Song Yunqian, especially Chen Yurou's. Her teary eyes stared intently at Song Yunqian, and anyone could tell the anticipation in her eyes.

"According to the ancestor's rules, the emperor might not even be present." The empress dowager softly said as she glanced at Wen Yi, who was lost in thought.

Chen Yuanqing stared at the empress dowager, his eyes filled with hatred. Before, he had only respected the empress dowager because she liked his little sister back then.

"But if the emperor is present, Yurou will definitely be very happy." Chen Yuanqing finally spoke with hatred.

If the emperor were to attend one of the concubines' consort ceremony, it would be equivalent to telling the entire harem that this concubine was someone he cared about.

"This is my family's matter, the General Chen is a little too kind to meddle in this matter." Song Yunqian finally opened his mouth to remind his. His words were indifferent, and he didn't even look at Chen Yuanqing once.

"Your majesty should go. After all, Imperial Concubine Rou received punishment on the first day she entered the palace. If you don't go and show your gratitude, who knows how many people will bully you." Wen Yi finally could not resist opening her mouth to advise.
