Chapter 1794 - 1796: State Duchess Tong Is Divorced
The little eunuch was also crying, tears flowing down his face.
Yet the Emperor still felt it wasn’t enough; his anger hadn’t dissipated.
Luckily, he still had loyal subjects by his side; otherwise, he would soon become an incapable ruler!
"Someone!" The Emperor called again, "Summon the imperial physician, tell him my eyes hurt."
The little eunuch, filled with fear, still went, and when another physician arrived, the Emperor executed the second doctor in the same manner, along with several eunuchs.
When he intended to do it a third time, Mu Shaoling arrived, and this calmed him somewhat, though he still found Shaoling displeasing, despite the fact he came to detoxify him.
He even had a poor impression of the Ye Family, daring to use a fake woman to deceive him, making himself, the Emperor, appear so foolish and lustful.
But now was not the time to deal with these people. Humph, let them wait for me, there will be consequences later!
Though the bloody storm in the palace had just begun, it was quickly suppressed.
But the news of this bloodbath still spread outside.
"Go and investigate Yang Chuxia’s maid!" In Prince Le’s Mansion, Prince Le ordered coldly.
"Yes, Master!" Just after giving the order, a guard came to report, "Master, that maid has been promoted to a Concubine of High Rank."
"Oh?" Prince Le sneered, "Promoted to Concubine of High Rank in less than a day? It seems our Great Zhou’s Emperor cannot resist beauty. If I had known beauty was so effective, I should have sent him some girls from the brothels."
The guards didn’t dare respond to his words.
"Has any other news come from the palace?" Prince Le asked again after a while.
"Master, two imperial physicians were beheaded by the Emperor, along with several eunuchs."
"Beheaded two physicians?" Prince Le’s eyes shifted, "Did they find out why the beheadings occurred?"
"It’s said messages were passed wrong, the Emperor’s eye pain was reported as a headache." The guards couldn’t understand, dying over a miscommunication seemed too unlucky.
"Never mind, keep an eye on the palace, especially the newly promoted Ming Concubine of High Rank."
"Yes."
Thereafter, Prince Le left the residence, unexpectedly encountering State Duchess Tong, who had been forcibly sent back to her family.
It turned out that after returning from the palace, State Duke Tong had swiftly written out a divorce letter and quickly went to the authorities for approval, moving so fast that even people in the residence were unaware. State Duchess Tong was even gloating, thinking that since Lord State Duke didn’t punish or scold her, it indicated his dissatisfaction with this incident and his discontent with the Ye Family’s arrogance.
When State Duke Tong returned from outside, she gleefully approached and said she had prepared a meal, unaware that as soon as she spoke, the divorce letter was thrust into her hand.
Without giving her a chance to speak, State Duke Tong decisively ordered her to be bound and sent out of the residence, shocking everyone with his swift actions.
But State Duchess Tong was unwilling to be divorced, escaping her family with the divorce letter, refusing to hire a carriage, and running all the way back to the Tong Residence. Considering she was around forty years old, during this age she could be considered elderly, yet she ran with vigor all the way.
However, upon arrival at the Tong Residence, she couldn’t even enter; the gatekeeper had orders to shut the door upon seeing her, provoking her to curse furiously at the gate.
