After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 417 Blockade
When the emperor heard the empress dowager's reminder, that tender and lovely little face appeared in his mind, and a genuine longing arose in his heart.

"You are right, mother. I am just afraid that she has gone out to play outside the palace and is reluctant to come back," said the emperor.

The Queen Mother was also worried and said, "This child longs to go outside the palace, but unfortunately there is nothing good in the palace, so we can't keep her here."

As the two of them were talking, they completely forgot that Niu Niu was originally a child from outside the palace and that they had forced her to stay in the palace.

Qian Rongsheng walked in at this time, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Li has submitted a letter of apology."

When the emperor heard the name "Lady Li", there was a moment of trance on his face. He couldn't understand why he had a feeling of closeness and yet strangeness towards Lady Li.

The empress dowager saw that he took a long time to accept the letter of apology, and thought that her son had been bewitched again. She reached out and took the letter of apology, spread it out and took a look.

"Li is apologizing for recommending the national teacher. She said that she didn't know the right person and trusted him wrongly." said the Queen Mother.

Such words, translated, probably mean that the mistake made by the Imperial Master has nothing to do with Lady Li.

Everyone present was a smart person, and everyone knew that this was Li Meiren trying to avoid responsibility.

The emperor seemed to have two villains pulling at him. After a long while, he finally said, "Tell Li that I have received the letter of apology. In consideration of Li's many years of service, I will demote Li to..."

In the eyes of the emperor, the status of a beauty was already low enough, and to lower it further would be a real insult to the Li family.

The Queen Mother said casually, "Li is really lucky. She has so many lives on her hands. Only you, the Emperor, are so kind and benevolent. You take into account the years of marriage and are willing to feed her well."

The emperor had no choice but to say: "Demote Li to a concubine, seal off Guanju Palace, and leave only one maid to take care of her. Also, send the third daughter of the Li family out of the palace."

Although the previous two demotions were quite severe, any discerning person could see that the emperor personally assigned palace maids and eunuchs to take care of Li, and he did not withdraw the staff even after the demotion. It was obvious that he still had feelings for Li, and no one in the harem dared to ridicule Li.

And this time, even the words of sealing off Guanju Palace were spoken of. Blockade is different from confinement. Confinement will be lifted one day, and Li can still eat and drink well every day, and the people in her palace can act as usual. But now sealing the palace gates and withdrawing most of the servants, what is the difference between that and banishing to the cold palace?

Li Cainü had never expected that she had done evil things in the past without any punishment, but now that she had finally gotten some peace for a while, she was punished one after another.

She was throwing things around in Guanju Palace. Chunying, the only maid who stayed to serve her, rolled her eyes when she saw her like this: "If you throw these away, what will we use in the future? Do you think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send me new ones in the future?"

The only palace maid Chunying who stayed behind was the empress dowager's person. She had a grudge against the Li family and was ordered by the empress dowager to severely torture Li Cainü.

When Li Cainu heard this, she glared at him fiercely and said, "Even if I am demoted and confined to my room, it is not something a servant like you can interfere with."

Chunying was not an ordinary palace maid. She was strong and sturdy, and was used to doing rough work. Without hesitation, she slapped Li Cainu in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Who are you calling this palace to? Do you still think you are Concubine Li? Is Cai Nu qualified to call herself this palace?" the palace maid said condescendingly.

Li Cainu looked up at Chunying in disbelief, covering her face and saying, "How dare you hit me? This is a violation of your authority. I'm going to tell His Majesty!"

But what greeted her was another slap in the face.

Chunying said: "I will hit you, what's wrong with that? Look at you now, how is the difference between you and being sent to the cold palace? You don't really think that you will have a day to make a comeback?" Li Cainü shouted loudly, but no matter how serious the commotion here was, there was still no reaction outside.

Li Cainu thought of the imperial teacher who was now missing somewhere, and she thought to herself that as long as the imperial teacher was not caught, she would still have a chance to turn the tables. She would naturally have plenty of ways to deal with this hateful palace maid in the future. Besides, she thought to herself that the emperor might not be without feelings for her.

Now that she is under someone's roof, she will be patient for a while.

Chunying kicked him again: "Don't dawdle, hurry up and wash the clothes. If you can't wash them clean, I'll punish you!"

Li Cainu had never suffered such an injustice before. She endured it for seven days. When Chunying was not paying attention, she finally seized the opportunity, quietly took the silver and ran to the palace gate. She passed the silver through the hole in the door for delivering food and said, "Please help me tell His Majesty that I have been tortured in Guanju Palace and I miss His Majesty all the time."

A big hand took the silver and said, "I understand. Just wait, Madam Li."

Li Cainu felt relieved, but she kept waiting, but as the days passed, there was still no news.

When she seized the opportunity again, she ran to the palace gate, handed over the silver, and couldn't help urging him.

But these people were also very rude: "Madam Li, the money you gave is really too little. You should know better than us what kind of people the emperor has."

Li Cainv gritted her teeth and handed out three more gold ingots.

But this time there was still no news.

She ran over to urge again, and this time the guards' tone of voice changed.

"Don't worry, Madam Li. The message has been delivered. But without money to urge them to do their job, they are not very proactive." The guards said only one thing: they want money.

Li Cainv made up her mind and was about to take out the money again, but she was not so lucky this time. Chunying appeared behind her without her knowing.

"Well, you have money to give to others but no money to give to me!" Chunying accused.

When Li Cainu sees Chunying now, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. She is really scared of the troubles she has suffered during this period of time. Chunying will beat people up whenever she is not satisfied. She is very skillful in beating people, and can make people cry for pain, but it is never fatal.

To be honest, Li Cainu's life after the palace gates were sealed was not that bad. Although she was accompanied by a living devil every day, her life was better than those concubines who had fallen out of favor.

Because they eat normal meals and they make you full.

It's just rice cooked with lard.

Every day Chunying could find endless work to torment her. Due to physical fatigue, her appetite inevitably became bigger. Gradually, she was locked in Guanju Palace. Not only did she not lose weight, but she became fatter and fatter. She no longer had the fragile and graceful demeanor of the past, but became even more muscular and strong than Chunying.

It was not known whether her silver had finally worked or for some other reason, but before winter came, she finally met the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am bullied by this bitch palace maid every day in Guanju Palace!" Li Cainv cried pitifully as she did in the past.

When the emperor saw Li Cainu, who was stout, had a face full of flesh and was wearing old clothes, he was so scared that he took two steps back.
