I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 263 Demoted to a commoner?

The main hall of the palace,

Bai Mohan could also see that the empress clearly did not like Xiao Qingyue. She was afraid that her Yun'er would be seduced by male beauty.

If Her Highness the Princess takes my side in this palace, I'm afraid I'll be the next Xiao Qingyue...

Thinking of this, Bai Mohan said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished. I just want to be with Your Highness and don't want to be away from him even for a moment. That's why I insisted on riding in the same carriage with Your Highness. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Feng Zhaoyun's face finally showed some panic. She quickly stepped out of the line and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Mo Han."

The empress raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"

She looked at her daughter carefully, her eyes moving between the Princess and the Concubine, and then she chuckled.

"Bai Mohan has become arrogant due to his favor. First, he injured Xiao Yushan, the great general of the Shang Kingdom, and then, without any distinction between high and low, he rode into the palace in a carriage. I will punish you for all your crimes..."

Feng Zhaoyun quickly knelt down. The ministers were stunned and all bowed their heads.

Feng Zhaoyun said, "Your son wishes..."

At this moment, Bai Mohan quickly interrupted, "Your Highness!"

Feng Zhaoyun turned and looked at him.

The empress straightened her cuffs. It turned out that she had changed her heart and fell in love with Bai Mohan.

The Empress said, "Bai Mohan, outside the main hall, you will be lashed thirty times. You will be beaten wherever you dismount."

Seeing Feng Zhaoyun pleading for mercy again, Bai Mohan immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, a young eunuch helped Bai Mohan up and walked out of the hall.

Feng Zhaoyun watched him being taken away, her expression slightly anxious. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the empress say, "I am tired. If there is anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."

After saying this, the empress stood up and left the main hall.

The court officials knelt and bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

In the past, if it were at this moment, Feng Zhaoyun would have been surrounded by people, but everyone could see clearly that the empress was clearly angry with the princess, so who would dare to get close to her?

When everyone in the main hall was about to leave, Feng Zhaoyun stood up. At this time, the sound of whips lashing was heard outside the hall, and it was extremely loud.

Bai Jinzhi saw her hurriedly heading out of the hall, and slowly followed her.

However, just as she reached the palace gate, Feng Zhaoyun was stopped by Zhou Fuhai. "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Feng Zhaoyun looked at Bai Mohan who was kneeling not far away, but did not move.

At this time, Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, please do not try to stop me. If you do, I'm afraid His Majesty will not spare me. Once I've finished my punishment, I'll have someone take good care of me."

After hearing this, Feng Zhaoyun looked at Zhou Fuhai and said, "Lead the way."

After saying this, she just glanced at Bai Jinzhi indifferently, without any emotion in her eyes.

When they reached the center of the Imperial Garden, Zhou Fuhai turned around and said, "Your Highness, please wait here. I will go in and pass the message."

Feng Zhaoyun nodded.

Bai Jinzhi stood behind her, but the two of them didn't say a word. While they were waiting, Bai Jinzhi was the first to speak, "Your Highness, do you care so much about your brother Mo Han?"

Feng Zhaoyun didn't turn around, and spoke coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. I will ask His Majesty to release you from the palace. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Even though he knew that something was wrong with her, Bai Jinzhi, who had always been reserved and self-possessed, still took a trembling step back after hearing these words, his face full of disbelief.

Have they reached this point? What if His Highness isn't poisoned? What if he truly has changed his mind?

At this time, Zhou Fuhai came over and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty invites you and the Princess Royal to come in."

Feng Zhaoyun walked straight in without paying any attention to Bai Jinzhi.

Watching her leaving, Bai Jinzhi was lost in thought.

Seeing the princess unable to conceal her disappointment, Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and reminded her, "Your Highness, I will lead the way for you."

Bai Jinzhi retracted his gaze and nodded to Zhou Fuhai, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou."

At the center of the Imperial Garden was a large summer pavilion. In the center was a large round table, around which several people sat.

Feng Yiran and Xiao Siying knelt in the middle with their heads bowed, as if they had made a mistake. Next to the empress sat Feng Yaoxue...

Feng Zhaoyun entered and saluted the empress, "Your son, I pay my respects to your majesty."

The Empress looked at her in her imperial attire and sneered, "I'm wearing the imperial robes of an imperial lady, and I have a golden crown to bind my hair. I gave you this honor, but now you are so bold! Kneel down!"

Feng Zhaoyun lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down.

Bai Jinzhi then entered, "Your son, I pay my respects to your majesty."

The Empress said, "Jin'er is here, please sit down."

Xiao Siying didn't forget to look up and eat the melon while kneeling. His Majesty asked the princess to kneel and the princess to sit?

Bai Jinzhi said, "Yes," and then sat down next to the empress.

The Empress looked at Feng Zhaoyun coldly. "As a princess, you left Shang State without permission and went to another country just to rescue a man. Princess, you've become too independent! ... Let me ask you, if you wanted to save him, why did you gouge out his eyes for another man?"

Feng Zhaoyun was stunned. His mother actually knew about it.

She raised her head and said, "My Lord Mother, going to the Moon Country was a moment of poor consideration on your part. I am willing to accept the punishment."

The empress picked up the cup and smashed it at Feng Zhaoyun. The cup broke into pieces, but Feng Zhaoyun didn't move at all.

Empress, "Since you like Xiao Qingyue so much, I will give her to you as a concubine, how about it?"

Feng Zhaoyun's expression was indifferent, "I don't want to."

The empress was quite shocked when she heard this. She was unwilling?

Empress, "You once begged me to marry him, why are you unwilling now?"

Feng Zhaoyun said, "If I don't love you, then naturally I don't want to. I beg your Majesty for permission. I want to divorce Bai Jinzhi and raise Bai Mohan as the Crown Princess."

Everyone was stunned...

What is going on...

Bai Jin's hand was holding a cup, and when he heard these words, the cup shattered, and his hand was immediately pierced, and blood flowed out, but no one cared about this little thing, everyone just looked at Feng Zhaoyun.

The Empress looked at Bai Jinzhi and said, "At first you didn't want to marry Bai Mohan and only wanted to be with Jin'er, but now you regret it. Jin'er is the prince of Yan State, and the two countries are marrying each other. How can a rebellious girl like you repent so easily?"

Feng Zhaoyun's expression remained unchanged. "If Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to do anything."

The Empress chuckled and raised a single eyebrow, "Anything?"

Feng Zhaoyun was very determined, "Please grant me your blessing, mother!"

Although he didn't look at Bai Jinzhi at this moment, he could still feel a chill mixed with a little disappointment. Feng Zhaoyun immediately covered his chest with his hands and half fell to the ground.

This sudden change scared everyone.

Feng was still kneeling beside her and quickly stepped forward to support her.

Feng Zhaoyun frowned, seeming to be in great pain.

Bai Jinzhi stood up, his hand in the air, and did not go over.

Feng Yaoxue was quite shocked when she saw this scene...

This Feng Zhaoyun will be able to ascend to the throne in the future, but without Bai Jinzhi's help, it will not be possible. She smiled evilly, this is very good.

The empress quickly stood up and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Feng still held her arm, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Feng Zhaoyun knelt on the ground, calmed down for a moment, and lightly pushed Feng Yiran's hand away, "No need to help me."

She was about to continue when the Empress spoke up, "If you wish to divorce Bai Jinzhi, that's fine, but it would damage the friendship between our two nations. If you insist, I will... demote you to a commoner, how about that?"

Everyone was stunned, only Feng Yaoxue had a look of surprise on her face.

When Bai Jinzhi heard this, he sat down and stopped looking at her. His slender eyes lowered, as if he knew how she would answer.

But the result was not what he imagined, and Feng Zhaoyun remained silent.

Feng Yaoxuexiu clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth in hatred. Why didn't this guy stop making trouble again? Why don't you continue making trouble?

Seeing her silence, the Empress smiled faintly, "Your Highness, it is impolite to contradict me in front of the Emperor. I will punish you by sending you to the main hall and giving you twenty lashes!"

Bai Jinzhi quickly stood up and saluted the Empress, but was stopped by the Empress. "Anyone who dares to ask for mercy will be fined another thirty!"

Bai Jinzhi and the others didn't dare to say anything more.

Feng Zhaoyun stood up and said, "Thank you, mother, for your forgiveness."

What was this about disobeying the emperor? It was clearly a punishment for her to run to the Moon Kingdom without permission. It seemed very cruel to others, but in fact, the empress was extremely partial to the princess.

For such a serious mistake, the punishment was only twenty lashes.

After Feng Zhaoyun left, the empress looked at Feng Yiran and Xiao Siying. "Feng Yiran knew about this but didn't report it. Take her away with Xiao Siying and give them 30 lashes and make them kneel in the main hall."

The two were shocked that the fine was so severe...

Feng Yaoxue snorted inwardly, it turned out that the empress favored Feng Zhaoyun!

The two were dragged away.

The Empress looked at Bai Jinzhi and said, "I have said before that you are unable to persuade the princess, and I will punish you when you return. But now it seems that is not necessary. Go back."

After saying this, the empress stood up and left.

Bai Jinzhi Wenya stood up and saluted, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Feng Yaoxue followed behind the empress. Since the princess was away recently, she took the opportunity to get close to the empress.

She glanced back at Bai Jinzhi, then averted her gaze. A man like him should have been there to serve her and help her! Why was Feng Zhaoyun so lucky?

If she really divorced him, her chance would come...

............

When Feng Zhaoyun arrived outside the main hall, Bai Mohan was being supported and looked weak.

Seeing him like this, Feng Zhaoyun hurried forward, "Mo Han, what's wrong..."

Bai Mohan forced a smile, "Mohan is not in pain... Your Highness, don't worry."

At this time, the ceremonial officer stepped forward respectfully, "Your Highness, please come in."

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the people around Bai Mohan and said, "Send the concubine back home first and let Ah Zhen take a look at the concubine."

After saying this, Bai Mohan was sent out. He was really in pain. The empress must have secretly ordered someone to beat him severely. How could he be so injured by just thirty lashes?

Seeing that Bai Mohan had left not long ago, Feng Zhaoyun walked to the middle and knelt down, "Come."

The ceremonial officer saluted her and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for the offense. Please don't blame me. Come! By order of His Majesty, Your Highness has violated the rules of etiquette in front of the Emperor. You must be lashed twenty times! Execute!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the whip hit her.

The empress was reluctant to hit her, so she hit her in a very ordinary way, not as hard as Bai Mohan.

After twenty lashes, the dark red official uniform on her back had turned black. It was obvious that it was covered in blood.

At this moment, a pair of white and slender hands suddenly reached out to her. Feng Zhaoyun looked up, withdrew her eyes coldly, and stood up holding Jiuyi's hand.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at Bai Jinzhi and said, "It would be best if you ask for a divorce on your own initiative, so as to save me the trouble."

What hurtful words! Bai Jinzhi's heart tightened...

Is this really all they can do now?

...........

When I returned to the Princess's residence, I saw everyone kneeling on the ground at the door.

Feng Zhaoyun got off the carriage. The aura around him was very cold, and he went straight into the mansion.

The butler was momentarily surprised. His Highness... seemed to have changed. No, it was... seemed to have returned.

Everyone quickly stood up and followed him in.

Feng Zhaoyun returned to the main courtyard, took off her clothes, and sat at the table. Jiuyi was behind her treating her wounds.

After the wound was bandaged, Feng Zhaoyun put on his inner clothes and called the housekeeper and the chief eunuch, "Where are Ah Zi and Ah Hua?"

The eunuch in charge knelt and said, "Your Highness, the two great doctors left on their own a few days ago. I don't know where they went."

Feng Zhaoyun's voice was extremely cold, "Get out."

Then he looked at Jiuyi, "Where are the secret guards guarding them?"

Jiuyi, "Your Highness, there has been no news for the past few days. I'm afraid A Zi and A Hua must have met with an accident."

Feng Zhaoyun stood up and put on the outer robe that the maid had presented to him. "I'm looking for him. If he's alive, I want him. If he's dead, I want his body."

Jiuyi, "Yes."

Then she stepped out of the main courtyard, and Jiuyi quickly followed, "Follow me to Qingmo Garden."

In Qingmo Garden,

Bai Mohan was lying on the couch, and the young eunuchs kept bringing out bloody water for replacement. It was obvious that the empress had beaten him very badly.

Ah Zhen sat beside the couch and carefully treated his wounds. He was originally reluctant to treat him. After all, he was captured by him. If Bai Jinzhi had not sent people to rescue him, he would not know whether he was alive or dead.

But I am a doctor, and doctors are kind-hearted. I still couldn't get over this hurdle in my heart, so I still treated his wound carefully.

While applying the medicine, Feng Zhaoyun walked in.

Everyone in the room knelt on the ground. Jiuyi waved his hand and said, "Everyone get out."

The people in the house hurried out, leaving only the four of them.

Feng Zhaoyun hurried forward, "Mo Han, what's wrong?"

Bai Mohan frowned, not because he was acting, but because he was really in pain. "Your Highness, your humble servant is fine."
