Chapter 308 You Must Understand Me
The adulterer was caught in a grand ceremony, but the male and female protagonists simply exchanged two sentences, and then one left resolutely while the other was still crying foolishly.
Hongli had a suspicion in his heart, frowning, and listened to Ruyi's noise impatiently: "Do you remember what you are here for?"
Ruyi's eyebrows were raised: "The Emperor is favoring Concubine Ling again..."
Seeing that Hongli really didn't want to hear it, she said coldly: "Forget it, now that the emperor has caught the adulterous couple, he should believe what I said, right? If Jin and Prince Yu didn't have an affair, why are you crying so hard?"
Hongli said nothing.
Ruyi frowned: "Even after all this, Your Majesty still doesn't believe it? Does he have to catch us in bed together..."
Hongli just walked away.
Yan Wan glanced at Ruyi and said, "If you disrespect the emperor again, I will smash your mouth myself."
Ruyi sneered, "I really don't understand why you are like this. Jin humiliated you so much, but you colluded with her and wanted to help her. I just pushed you lightly just now, and you screamed.
Ha! You didn't even scream when the wax dripped all night, but now you're so delicate? Don't you just want to send a message to Concubine Jia? Concubine Ling, you are really a woman who can endure the humiliation under your crotch!"
Yanwan glanced at her with a half-smile, then turned around and leisurely went after Hongli.
Ruyi was so angry that her face turned blue. She stared at Yanwan's back, gritted her teeth, and quickly chased after her.
She paid such a huge price, even selling several pieces of dowry jewelry that had been hidden in the bottom of the box, and only then did she gather enough money to bribe a few more eunuchs and palace maids. She had finally achieved the current situation, and she absolutely could not let Concubine Jia escape.
She must expose the true face of Concubine Jia and cannot let Concubine Jia continue to deceive the emperor and hurt the emperor's true heart!
She was full of fighting spirit, so she walked with great vigor and confidence. She didn't need anyone to support her, but she walked with the soles of the flower pots making the air flow under her feet.
Yanwan looked at Ruyi walking quickly past her in flat shoes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and still walked slowly into the alley.
Although she didn't understand Korean, she understood men and human nature. After seeing Hongli's expression, she guessed that he probably understood some of it. She had some doubts, but had no evidence.
As for the emperor's temperament... as long as there is no solid evidence, he will choose to keep it secret, and continue to accumulate resentment in his heart, but on the surface he acts as if nothing has happened, and then he will continue to make malicious speculations about the other party.
It can be said that Concubine Jia has been completely useless in her quest for the emperor's favor.
From today on, if Concubine Jia wants to gain a foothold in the harem, she can no longer rely on the emperor, but must choose to take sides and recognize her master - Wei Yanwan as her master.
Yan Wan gently pressed the corners of her mouth, and when she walked into the alley, there was no smile on her face, only solemnity and indifference.
She had a grudge against Concubine Jia, and it was enough for her not to show it and take advantage of Concubine Jia's misfortune. If she helped Concubine Jia, it would seem too fake and would make the Emperor suspect that she was a woman with ulterior motives.
She stood beside Hongli in silence, looking down at Concubine Jia who was crying while grabbing Hongli's trouser legs.
Concubine Jia was recounting her love and devotion to Hongli over the years, trying to prove her feelings tactfully. She also cried and complained that Prince Yu was too heartless, controlling her family and refusing to let her ask.
Such a bright and beautiful beauty looked at the emperor with eyes full of dependence and pain. She also gave birth to several children for him.
Hongli's eyes were cold: "You have never told me these things before, but you have always spoken well of the Yu family."
Concubine Jia choked up and said, "How dare I say that? The Yu family is thousands of miles away. I am afraid that if I do something wrong, I will cause trouble for the Yu family and let the Yu family bully my parents and relatives."
However, Hongli was not so easily fooled. He still remembered how much she wanted to be the queen, and he even had the delusion of joining forces with Ruyi to murder the queen.
However, he had just reprimanded Prince Yu, who had repeatedly offered confessions and written letters begging for forgiveness. If he were to demote Concubine Jia now, the Yu family would probably think that the Qing Dynasty had completely abandoned them.
He looked at Concubine Jia gloomily for a long time, and finally leaned over and helped her up with his own hands: "You should have told me earlier that you were coerced by the Yu family. You are the mother of my child, and I will naturally help you find a solution."
Concubine Jia looked at Hongli with tearful eyes, and smiled bitterly in her heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me. I will never do such a foolish thing again in the future. I...I almost brought shame to Your Majesty. I ask to reflect on my mistakes for a month, copy the female precepts and virtues, and copy the palace rules!"
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable and tactful, Hongli's face became better. He said gently, "Since you know your mistake, I will not blame you. So, just hand over what you are doing to Concubine Ling and reflect on it with peace of mind."
Concubine Jia was filled with guilt: "I am already so old, and have served the emperor for nearly twenty years, but I am still so ignorant. I only ask the emperor not to get sick because of me."
She crawled back two steps on her knees. As she retreated, her big, affectionate eyes looked at Hongli with tears in her eyes. Then she bowed deeply, lay on the ground and sobbed. Even her trembling back was filled with gratitude and guilt.
Yanwan almost applauded Concubine Jia. This scene was truly a display of true feelings without any flaws.
Ruyi couldn't take it anymore. She was so angry that her face turned blue: "Your Majesty is going to let her off like this? She is clearly having an affair with that Prince Yu!"
Hongli said in a deep voice: "Princess Xian, I will not lower your position. I will let Concubine Ling hand over the things that Concubine Jia had done before to you. Don't let me down."
Ruyi was so angry that her eyebrows were raised: "Your Majesty! I have risked my position and would rather be demoted to a concubine to eliminate the treacherous villains for you. How can you be so blinded by lust..."
Hongli glared at her: "That's enough! Take some power back to your Yikun Palace, or be demoted to a concubine. You choose one."
Ruyi was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She could not see the connection between the previous dynasty and the harem, and could not understand why Hongli did not want Yu's submission to waver. She only saw that Hongli was once again blinded by beauty and even let go of his own woman's affair.
She said angrily: "You really are..."
Yan Wan interrupted her rage and said, "Princess Xian, I know you want everything for yourself. You think that the emperor tolerates you raising Xiao Lingzi, but you can't stand the emperor trusting Concubine Jia. But there is no evidence, and if you want to sentence a high-ranking concubine to death with just two sentences... I'm afraid this harem is really going to be in turmoil."
Ruyi was so angry that she clenched the few fingers that were not wearing armor: "Ling Guifei, you are really magnanimous! The opportunity for revenge is right in front of you, but you don't want it, and you want to protect your enemy? Are you brewing some conspiracy?"
Hongli frowned slightly.
Yan Wan looked at Hongli and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am now assisting in the management of the six palaces, so I naturally take the palace rules more seriously than anything else. Although Concubine Xian was once a noble concubine, she never did anything wrong.
She doesn't understand, but you, who govern the world, do understand. Without rules, there will be no order. I am just upholding the palace rules and don't want to cause any unjust, false or wrong cases. Concubine Xian is stupid, but you are really smart. You can understand me, right?"
