Consort Su was forcefully expelled by the infuriated Third Prince and rebuked sternly.
His patience had worn thin. He had never encountered such audacity before!
Consort Su broke into uncontrollable tears, lamenting her plight as if the Third Prince were devoid of compassion.
Incensed by the embarrassment, the Third Prince erupted in anger, condemning Consort Su and promptly ordering her confinement for half a month.
Word of her disgrace spread among the palace concubines, who gathered to witness the spectacle with amusement. Some even chuckled and derided her openly.
In her chambers, Consort Su wept bitterly, repeatedly invoking the Emperor's name and attempting to defy her confinement. Palace attendants intervened firmly to prevent her escape.
As reality set in, Nanny Ling gently explained the severity of her punishment and guided Consort Su back to her room.
Distraught, Consort Su vented her frustrations, throwing her belongings about.
