Chapter 135: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 55
After lunch in the afternoon, the two of them went to the yard to appreciate the flowers together. Qiong Yu had grown up now and had been following them all the time. She didn't look like a cat but more like a puppy.
Just as Hongli and Wei Yanwan walked up the stairs hand in hand, Jinzhong and Jinbao arrived with Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia.
When Concubine Jia saw Wei Yanwan and the emperor holding hands, her eyes flashed, while Qingying thought of the days when she was with the emperor, and a trace of nostalgia and grievance appeared in her eyes.
This position beside the emperor was originally supposed to be hers, when did it become Wei Yanwan's?
Now the emperor's warm hands no longer belong to her alone...
She had made up her mind that she would never forgive the emperor this time, even if she found out the truth!
Hongli didn't know what she was thinking. If he knew, his expression would probably be even more strange.
"I'm here. The Imperial Concubine has already found out the truth. She asked you two to come here as witnesses."
Hongli looked at Jin Yuyan. He had never known that she was so scheming. Now Qingying was slandering her even though she was not a threat to him at all. He was afraid that she had a lot more in mind.
Wei Yanwan and Hongli both went in. Hongli and Wei Yanwan sat in the spacious main seat. She naturally did not miss the envy and jealousy in Qingying's eyes. Wei Yanwan smiled and said to Bai Xi: "Bai Xi."
"The slaves obey."
After being called by Wei Yanwan, Bai Xi stood below Wei Yanwan and looked at her, putting everything she had found out in front of them.
"So this incident was all planned by Zhenshu who was beside Concubine Jia. Zhenshu came from the Yu family, but she copied Concubine Xian's handwriting for no reason, which is suspicious. And this pearl necklace was definitely not given to Concubine Xian by Master Anji, but was purchased by Zhenshu. All the witnesses and evidence are here, and both the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor can check it out."
Not long after, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was brought up. They were Jin's people. Jin was Jin Yuyan's godparent here and was a great help to her.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually bit back!
Hongli watched a farce. Jin Yuyan was demoted to a noble lady and confined to Qixiang Palace. The Fourth Prince had grown up and it was time for him to live in the residence of the princes.
Zhenshu was taken to the Ministry of Punishment for custody, awaiting her fate.
Qingying's injustice was finally cleared, but she looked at Hongli as if she wanted him to apologize to her, but Hongli's eyes were never on her from beginning to end.
She felt aggrieved and thought that the emperor was not as considerate as the guards around her.
She bowed angrily to Hongli and said, "Since the injustice against me has been cleared, I will take my leave."
Now Hongli didn't intend to pay any attention to her at all. When he saw Qingying leave, he just hummed and gave her an additional instruction: "Well, go back. Don't get too close to men in the future."
Wei Yanwan laughed secretly in her heart. His words were really irritating. She coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Since the matter has been resolved, Concubine Xian does not need to be confined to her house in the future. This matter ends here. I will warn everyone in the harem to prevent those rumors from bothering people."
"In that case, thank you, Her Majesty, for your understanding."
Wei Yanwan smiled and nodded. Facing her mocking gaze, Qingying left the Yangxin Palace angrily.
After the strangers had gone out, Hongli put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "Our Imperial Concubine is so resolute and swift, she really has my demeanor."
Wei Yanwan smiled and stood up, looking at him disdainfully, then she threw her handkerchief and walked into the East Warm Pavilion, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am your most proud student, right?"
"Oh, you little girl..." Hongli laughed and shook his head, looking at Jinzhong and said to him: "Zhenshu slandered the imperial concubine, but considering that she is a member of the Yu clan, I will grant her an intact body."
Jinzhong took the order and went down. The emperor was not like this in the past. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the emperor's methods have become more and more powerful.
In the past, even if a servant offended, the emperor would reprimand them, but he would not take their lives so easily as he does now.
After the confinement in Yanxi Palace was lifted, Li Yu was finally released. He looked at Concubine Xian expectantly, but did not see Suo Xin beside her: "Your Majesty, Suo Xin... Has Suo Xin been released?"
Qingying was stunned for a moment. She was only thinking about the quarrel between herself and the emperor, and forgot that惢心 was still in the Ministry of Punishment.
But if she was asked to go back now, she couldn't give up her dignity, so she could only say stiffly: "I was heartbroken just now, but now I have cleared my name, and I think Suo Xin will be released soon."
She felt guilty as she said this. It wasn't without any ability that Li Yu could become a servant in front of the emperor, so when she saw Ruyi's expression, she knew that she didn't think of惢心 at all.
He frowned slightly, but didn't know what to say, so he could only help her in.
Jiang Yubi went to the Yanx Palace when he knew that the house arrest in the Yanx Palace was lifted. He always thought that since Concubine Xian was fine, Rong Xin would be released back to the Yanx Palace as well.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Yanx Palace, he found out that Concubine Xian had not pleaded for惢心 at all, nor had she asked the emperor to release惢心!
He looked at Li Yu, who was full of anxiety, with a sullen face. He let out a breath, for he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would want to hit Li Yu.
"Suo Xin cannot bear your love. Please respect yourself in the future. I will ask the emperor to marry her and let her go."
Li Yu's love really made him sick.
Qingying even more so!
Jiang Yubin went straight to Jinzhong for help. Jinzhong raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. "How could such a thing happen? I just thought that Concubine Xian had gone to pick up Miss Suo Xin."
"Just now, the queen said that Miss Suo Xin's suffering was not in vain, and she was thinking of sending some medicine to the Yanxi Palace. Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the queen for permission."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Wei Yanwan was probably resting at the moment. The emperor was discussing matters with the ministers at the moment. Jinzhong took advantage of the gap to ask Jinbao to stay put, and he went to the back hall to tell Wei Yanwan what Jiang Yubin said.
"Tsk, I thought Concubine Xian valued Suo Xin so much."
Wei Yanwan didn't care about her handkerchief and said nonchalantly, "In that case, let Lan Cui send Miss Suo Xin back."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Lan Cui bowed and left after receiving the order. Seeing Jiang Yubin at the door, she smiled and said to him, "Doctor Jiang, I will go with you to the Ministry of Punishment to fetch Miss Suo Xin."
Jiang Yebin knelt down, bowed towards the main hall, and said with his head buried, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Lan Cui looked at Jiang Yubin. He was a man of affection and righteousness. He should just be grateful to the Empress. He shouldn't help an ungrateful person and let the Empress' kindness go to waste.
The two walked quickly to the Ministry of Punishment. Lan Cui gave all the silver to the maids and said to them with a smile: "Thank you for your care, maids. Our queen is very grateful."
"It's nothing, it's a blessing for us servants to be able to work for you, Madam."
Looking at the smiling servants, Jiang Yebin deeply understood the biggest difference between being with Concubine Xian and Concubine Huang. It turned out that being a servant could get so much...
