Chapter 171 The True Face of Concubine Liang
Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, and expressions of surprise appeared on their beautiful faces.
"sky……"
Concubine Kang said: "Xunyou is right, Concubine Liu really framed me by faking pregnancy!"
Concubine Liu finally understood what was going on. She covered her nose with a handkerchief in disgust and looked at Liu Ruyan as if she were a dead person. She said sarcastically, "It's New Year's Day. What is going on here, Concubine Liu?"
Concubine Zhou has always been obedient to Concubine Liu, and she immediately chimed in, "This vicious woman is so cunning, it's really scary! Your Majesty should banish her to the cold palace and sentence her to death, so that she won't harm others in the future!"
Nangong Xuanyu only felt a "boom" in his mind, and there was a moment of blankness, and he could not hear any sound.
His body was extremely stiff, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart. Guilt and indebtedness came like a torrent, and his heart seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, making him feel so painful that he couldn't breathe.
The emperor who was high above everyone else had always been feared by others. But at this moment, he did not dare to turn around and face Shen Zhinian...
"Ah……"
A sad laugh full of brokenness came, Shen Zhinian slowly raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, her lips were pale without a trace of blood: "Your Majesty, can you trust me now?"
She did not ask hysterically, nor did she accuse him heartbrokenly. She just asked this question in the calmest tone.
But the more this happens, the more anxious I become...
Nangong Xuanyu turned stiffly and looked at the broken light in Shen Zhinian's eyes. Regret and guilt intertwined in his heart. He stepped forward and helped her up: "I wrongly blamed you..."
Shen Zhinian didn't react at all, but just calmly pulled his hand back.
Nangong Xuanyu felt like there was a hole in his heart...
At this moment, the emperor belatedly realized that Shen Zhinian was different from other concubines.
If she cared about her status and position, she should be overjoyed and expect him to compensate her. But her expression was still full of despair and indifference.
Because she loved him deeply, but today she was completely heartbroken...
Concubine Liu didn't want to see the emperor caring about another woman, so she said in disgust: "Your Majesty, now that the truth has come to light, the only way to make everyone understand the strict rules of the palace is to severely punish this bitch!"
The emperor suddenly turned around and glared at Liu Ruyan, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Bitch! You are so brave!"
Li Changde immediately said to the eunuch next to him: "Can she lie on the bed in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace?!"
The two young eunuchs were very tactful. They stepped forward and pulled Liu Ruyan down from the left and right.
At this time, Liu Ruyan's moon-white skirt was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and her slender fingers still exuded a foul odor. Such an embarrassed and ugly appearance formed a sharp contrast with her previous weak and beautiful appearance.
Even if she was unwilling, she had to admit that she lost this round again, and lost completely!
However, Liu Ruyan looked weak and pitiful on the outside, but she was extremely tough on the inside. Even at this point, she was not completely defeated.
She has to find a way to save her life!
As long as you are alive there is hope!
"Your Majesty, I admit that I did make a big mistake this time... But I also did it because I love you too much..."
"You used to love me very much, but ever since Shen Zhinian appeared, she has taken all your attention away and you can no longer see me..."
"It's so cold every night when I stay alone in Yilan Pavilion... But what's even more unbearable than the cold is my uncontrollable longing for you..."
"So, so I was thinking, if Shen Zhinian disappears, will you still pamper me like before? Woohoo... Your Majesty, I am certainly wrong, but it is only because I love you too much..."
Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart as he listened to Liu Ruyan's heart-wrenching words.
This venomous snake is quite smart. It has been able to remain calm and think of a way out of the situation.
After all, if Liu Ruyan had a vicious heart and plotted to frame Shen Zhinian, the emperor would never tolerate her.
But she loved the emperor too deeply, so she fell into madness, unable to control her inner jealousy, and wanted to win back the emperor's heart. Even if the crime was unforgivable, it was understandable.
After all, which man would have the heart to blame a woman who loves him to the core?
It’s a pity... Liu Ruyan lost because she didn’t know Nangong Xuanyu well enough.
Emperors are different from ordinary men. They always want the ones they love to live and want the ones they hate to die!
As the emperor, he never lacked the love of women. The love of the concubines was like tea and snacks to him, and was worthless. Only those he cared about could move him emotionally.
Therefore, after hearing what Liu Ruyan said, Nangong Xuanyu was not only not moved, but also felt very disgusted.
"You love me, so you want to do all these evil things? You love me, so you want to fake a pregnancy to frame others and try to kill her?"
"I cannot bear your love, which is like a poisonous snake! Even if you say this word, it is a defilement!"
Concubine Zhou took the opportunity to add insult to injury: "That's right. Xunyou just said that Xunmei used to listen to the instructions of this vicious woman. Maybe Concubine Kang's miscarriage was also caused by her!"
Seeing that the emperor had murderous intentions, Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with panic. She knelt on the ground, grasping the corner of Nangong Xuanyu's robe, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I didn't! I really didn't..."
"I really love you sincerely, Your Majesty!"
"I really know I was wrong. Please spare my life for the sake of our past friendship and my father's diligence during his years as the prefect of Yangzhou..."
If it was the Liu Ruyan of the past, with her stunning appearance and incomparable delicate temperament, she would indeed be pitiful if she made this gesture.
However, she now looked so miserable that people could only feel disgusted when seeing her.
Concubine Liang sighed, stepped forward and advised gently: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is indeed guilty of an unforgivable crime, but I heard that Yangzhou has suffered a disaster. Concubine Liu's father is the governor of Yangzhou. If you order her death at this time, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the stability of Yangzhou."
"For the sake of the overall situation, Your Majesty should give her a light punishment and a stern warning, and spare her life. This will also allow the people of Yangzhou to appreciate Your Majesty's kindness."
Shen Zhinian's eyes turned cold.
In the past, she always felt that she couldn't see through Concubine Liang, but now she knew what was going on.
Everyone in the palace has some conflicts with others. But Concubine Liang has a very good reputation and is tolerant and gentle to everyone. In fact, she doesn't know right from wrong.
When facing evildoers, she can be tolerant; when there are victims, she can also quickly send warmth. But she is not sincere to anyone, and she tries to get favors everywhere, stepping on the flesh and blood of victims to flaunt her kindness.
Even the Bodhisattvas in the temple know how to punish evildoers. A truly kind and compassionate person would not be like her and not be able to distinguish right from wrong.
