Chapter 179: I followed the Queen to catch the adulterer
"Who did it?"
"Prince Yu himself?"
The emperor's scalp tingled and he gave an answer that he himself did not believe.
How could Prince Yu castrate himself just because he was rumored to have had an affair with a woman?
As they were talking, Hailan and the emperor had already arrived at Prince Yu's bedroom. When they pushed the door open, they saw Prince Yu surrounded by a group of people.
The second was Jin Yuyan, who was cowering aside with blood on her hands.
"Empress Jia?"
The emperor called Jin Yuyan suspiciously.
Jin Yuyan crawled to the emperor.
He pulled at a corner of the emperor's dragon robe in a flattering and attentive manner.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it was your concubine who did it, your concubine who did it.
They, they spread rumors that I had an affair with the prince.
"I don't have any."
Jin Yuyan defended herself vigorously, and when she glanced back at Prince Yu from the corner of her eye, there was a trace of heartache, but more importantly, she tried her best to show her panic.
Seeing Prince Yu become like that, Jin Yuyan once again tried to prove her innocence.
In the emperor's mind, whether Jin Yuyan and Prince Yu had an affair was no longer the primary concern.
Seeing that the Yu family had no descendants and there would be no successors in the future, he made a fool of himself by making the prince of the Yu family laugh, and thus he largely let the matter go.
The emperor did not blame Jin Yuyan at first, and Jin Yuyan knew that she had taken a risk and touched the emperor's heart.
"Empress Jia, what did you do?"
As soon as Jin Yuyan finished her statement, Ruyi came in hurriedly.
When Ruyi saw the pool of blood on the ground and Prince Yu struggling in pain, she couldn't help but redden her eyes and blamed Jin Yuyan.
"Empress Jia, even if you have something with Prince Yu, you can check it out. Why do you have to be so cruel to him?"
Jin Yuyan looked flustered, but in her heart she was laughing at Ruyi's stupidity.
At this time, I still have time to feel sorry for the man.
"Empress, Concubine Jia hurt the prince, but Concubine Jia was not anxious, so why are you anxious?"
In the crowd of people, Concubine Qing, who had come over at some point, mocked Ruyi.
The emperor, who had originally stayed out of the matter, became distraught.
Yes. Prince Yu hooked up with Jin Yuyan, and Jin Yuyan hurt him. It was only natural. As the person involved, Jin Yuyan was trying to prove her and Prince Yu's innocence.
Judging from what Ruyi said, it seems that Ruyi does not think that Jin Yuyan's affair with Prince Yu is a big deal, or Ruyi does not think it is a big deal.
In his words, he was still blaming Jin Yuyan for being so cruel and felt sorry for Prince Yu.
"Princess Qing, what did you say?
Prince Yu was a good man, but he has become like this, isn't it scary?"
Ruyi's heartache was already evident on her face.
"Your Majesty, please curb your useless sympathy.
Concubine Jia is having an affair with Prince Yu, and you feel sorry for Prince Yu.
As the master of the harem, you did not deal with this matter and even felt sorry for this lunatic.
I heard that the Queen had come earlier and released Concubine Jia, saying that she wanted to pretend that what happened tonight never happened.
I wonder what the Queen's intention is?"
"Princess Qing, please be careful with your words. Are those words something you should say to me, the queen?"
When Ruyi heard this, she became anxious.
She also used her position as queen to suppress Concubine Qing.
Ruyi couldn't explain why she was so anxious.
If you think about it carefully, Ruyi just feels sorry for Prince Yu.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that Prince Yu and Jin Yuyan were having an affair, so naturally it was Jin Yuyan who seduced Prince Yu, so Prince Yu was not the one who was wrong.
"She says the same thing again. Every time there's something going on, the Queen says the same thing."
"You said that you cared least about being the queen, but when you became queen, you used your position to bully others from time to time."
“During the selection, you said that you and the emperor were like brothers.
Why don’t you say such things now? "
Concubine Qing had already offended Ruyi enough, so she didn't mind saying a few words from time to time that would further irritate Ruyi.
The emperor had already been displeased by what he had heard before, and now what Ruyi said during the selection process was brought up again, and the emperor felt extremely embarrassed.
He hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
"Princess Qing. Show some respect to the Queen. Why are you here?"
The emperor just wanted to send Qingpin away quickly. He only mentioned her offense to Ruyi.
"Your Majesty, I followed the Empress to catch her adulterer."
"Everyone in the palace knows that the Empress and Aunt Rong Pei are here to catch Concubine Jia and Prince Yu having an affair."
"I also know that the Queen intends to release Concubine Jia."
"Your Majesty, are you going to personally cuckold the Emperor?"
The emperor had heard Concubine Qing say that Ruyi had let Jin Yuyan go before, and now Concubine Qing said it again. And the word "cuckold" also made the emperor's face turn green.
"Queen, this is a good thing you did. If you hadn't let Concubine Jia go, would she have done this?"
The emperor immediately understood the cause and effect of this matter.
It was obvious that it was Ruyi who let Jin Yuyan go, and Jin Yuyan hurt Prince Yu in order to prove her innocence.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is not here to release me.
The Queen is telling me that the prince was scared because he heard rumors that I had an affair with the prince, and he wanted to deny my identity. "
Jin Yuyan was referring to what Ruyi had said. She did not refute it, so Jin Yuyan continued:
"I married into the Qing Dynasty and have long been a Qing citizen.
The people from my mother's family are going to abandon me just because of such a rumor, which shows that they don't consider me a member of the Yu family.
In this case, I must put an end to this matter for the sake of His Majesty's reputation.
I have now proven my innocence."
"Your Majesty, Yuyan is no longer a daughter of the Yu family."
Jin Yuyan's series of self-protection strategies make people feel pity for her.
She is now an image of someone abandoned by her mother’s family and trying to prove her innocence.
"If I were the emperor, I would be very touched.
My concubine killed the king of her mother's clan to prove her innocence."
In Yongshou Palace, every move of Ninghui Hall is under the control of Yanwan.
She was talking to Jinzhong who was carefully selecting clothes beside her.
“Prince Yu only has one eldest princess and one second princess, and they haven’t given birth to a son in these years, and they won’t be able to give birth to a son in the future.
For this achievement, the Emperor will not embarrass Concubine Jia."
Jinzhong responded to every word Yanwan said without stopping his hands, carefully comparing an orange chiffon skirt embroidered with magpies on plum trees and a light blue chiffon skirt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Jinzhong pointed at the dress with the picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
"this is not bad."
Jinzhong held the clothes for Yanwan to see.
Yanwan knew what Jinzhong was thinking when she saw the pairs of magpies and mandarin ducks.
"As for the mandarin duck piece, Concubine Jia and Prince Yu are a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks, so we need to give them a good send-off."
Jinzhong nodded.
"That's right. Concubine Jia probably never thought that Prince Yu actually wanted to protect her."
Inside Ninghui Hall.
After hearing what Jin Yuyan said, Prince Yu forced himself to stand up.
“Yuyan, you are confused.
There was no affair between you and me.
But rumors are spreading like wildfire, and those rumors are damaging to the reputation of the emperor and the king. They will also implicate your sons.
I have already thought about it. After Enyuan and the Fourth Prince get married, I will take you back to the Yu Clan, and then send a daughter of the Yu Clan to be the Fourth Prince and his family's mother.
How could you say that I will abandon you?"
"Yuyan, you have been tricked."
