Chapter 073 Jealousy

He Ying had released Xuanrao from the palace, awarding her a thousand pieces of gold.

This matter had little impact on the previous dynasty, but its effect on the harem was profound.

Especially for the concubines who had entered the palace among the earliest groups.

The Emperor did not favor the company of women; these women had guarded their empty chambers for many years. Seeing themselves aging without any hope of liberation, they considered leaving the palace a better option.

Perhaps life outside the palace was miserable, but to see the sky beyond the palace walls once more seemed enough.

Thus, a great number of concubines suddenly appeared at Qingning Palace seeking release.

Sang Yan had thought about releasing these pitiful women from the palace, but she had not expected it to happen so soon.
