Chapter 206: Is it not my place to sit on this throne?
"Your Highness has been to the Ministry of Punishment, why didn't you tell me?"
Ruyi's mind and eyes were filled with the thought that Ling Yunche was covering up for Wei Yanwan, and she didn't even think about how Rong Pei had stopped Ling Yunche from speaking just now.
"Sister, Concubine Ling has always been charming the emperor. She seems to be in the Yangxin Palace right now. I don't know what she will do. Sister, you'd better go and take a look."
At that time, Hai Lan was still obsessed with Ruyi and didn't care at all that Ruyi had ignored her in the past.
Ruyi glanced at Ling Yunche with resentment.
"Rong Pei, follow me.
Ling Yunche, you should reflect on yourself in Yikun Palace."
Ruyi couldn't stand Ling Yunche's heart and eyes, even if he mentioned others.
Ruyi was anxious to stop Yanwan's slander and even called Su Lujun along the way.
If Rong Pei whispered in Su Lujun's ear that Yan Wan had framed Ruyi, Su Lujun, who was entrusted with an important task by Ruyi, would also be implicated.
He even revealed that Qing Yuan was pregnant, and Su Lujun was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
When Ruyi saw Yanwan accompanying the emperor, she bowed and greeted the emperor with rare respect.
But in just a moment, Ruyi began to plead her case.
"Your Majesty, Qing Yuan did something wrong and used my name, but Your Majesty probably doesn't know that Qing Yuan is pregnant.
Now that she has passed away, please forgive her for the sake of her royal heir."
"also……"
Ruyi blinked.
“Also, if your Highness Concubine Ling said anything, please don’t believe it easily.
The emperor should also ask what Concubine Ling was doing at the Ministry of Punishment before Qing Yuan died."
Ruyi was just about to tell Yanwan everything she had always disliked about her.
Ruyi said it was not enough and winked at Su Lujun.
Su Lujun spoke in a daze.
"Yes. Your Majesty, it is important to investigate everything carefully."
Su Lujun didn't understand the reason, so she said it politely. The emperor had secretly looked at several people. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Rong Pei.
The emperor didn't want her to speak, but she stood up excitedly.
"Noble Concubine Ling, you'd better confess what you did, otherwise you will lose all your dignity when the Emperor finds out."
Rong Pei looked at Su Lujun and added another sentence.
"No matter what your relationship with the Queen is, Concubine Chun Su Lian treats you well. You can't harm Concubine Chun."
These people were almost trying to convict Yan Wan of the crime with their words.
No one noticed that the emperor's eyes were filled with rage.
"presumptuous."
The emperor couldn't bear it any longer and angrily threw the teacup beside him.
Ruyi was standing nearby and the tea splashed out, scaring her so much that she didn't know what to do. The rice-bead tassel on the hairpin in her hair fell on her cheek.
Ruyi always likes luxury, and Mizhu hit her eyes hard. Ruyi couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.
Seeing her in such a state of embarrassment, the emperor felt more and more disgusted. Ruyi still had the bad habit of being greedy and craving for more.
The emperor turned around and looked at Jinzhong, who looked at him and started to explain.
“I’m afraid the ladies have misunderstood.
Concubine Ling came only to say that it was a pity that Concubine Yuan and her unborn child were gone, and she asked the Emperor to give Concubine Yuan posthumous honors for the Empress's sake.
It was also said that Concubine Yuan committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and Concubine Chun must not be implicated.
Concubine Ling went to the Ministry of Punishment because she heard that Concubine Yuan had died. She went to take a look and found that Concubine Ling was a woman and Concubine Yuan was pitiful. She was just jealous.
Ruyi seemed to have a short circuit.
Ling Yunche said that Wei Yanwan went to the Ministry of Punishment, but he didn't say when she went. They misunderstood.
Jinzhong explained everything that needed to be explained. The emperor looked at Ruyi, expecting her to give him a reply that would slander Yanwan.
Ruyi said unwillingly:
"Your Majesty, I misunderstood Concubine Ling. It's my fault that I only listened to what Li Yu said."
Ruyi curled her lips, and resented Li Yulian for not being able to pass on the news accurately, causing her to work in vain.
Ruyi pushed all the blame onto Li Yu, and Su Lujun was left standing aside in embarrassment.
Su Lujun forced herself to smile.
"Don't be angry, Concubine Ling. I misunderstood you. When I heard that Concubine Yuan was in trouble and the Empress was worried, I became worried too."
Su Lujun is not stupid enough, she knows to drag Ruyi into it.
Yan Wan had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, the tears that had been prepared rolled slightly. She bit her lip and pinched the handkerchief, sighing pitifully:
"It's okay. I dare not blame you."
The emperor did not dare to blame anyone, and he loved Yanwan more and looked at Ruyi and Su Lujun with more resentment.
When the atmosphere became tense, Rong Pei rushed out again.
"My Lord, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Chun are both worried that Concubine Han might be anxious. You have been wronged, but for Concubine Han, please at least bear with it."
The emperor didn't dare to say such words, but Rong Pei said it. The emperor wished he could kick Rong Pei to death, but after a moment's attention, he endured it.
Smile at Ruyi.
"Yes. I know that the Queen did this for Concubine Han. I have already decided that Concubine Han can no longer have children. I have decided to promote Concubine Han to Concubine Han.
Then give the tenth princess born to Concubine Yu to Concubine Han to raise."
The emperor looked at Ruyi meaningfully as he spoke.
"Anyway, Concubine Yu's child was also born to the Queen. The Queen loves Concubine Han, so she will naturally not be stingy in giving the Tenth Princess to Concubine Han to take care of."
Ruyi's eyes were full of confusion.
Hailan was loyal to her, and her child was born for her. Ruyi felt bad that the emperor took her child away and gave it to Hanxiang.
"emperor……"
"emperor……"
At the same time as Ruyi opened her mouth, Rong Pei also opened her mouth.
When Ruyi saw Rong Pei speaking, she stopped talking and let Rong Pei openly reply to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for you to do this. The Empress' love for Concubine Han is out of the Empress' love.
But the child born by Concubine Yu cannot be raised by Concubine Han."
The emperor sneered barely perceptiblely.
Wei Xiaopei was so bold, but he still asked her seriously.
"Oh, is it so?"
"You think Concubine Han can't raise Concubine Yu's child, then who can, and why?"
Rong Pei didn't notice anything wrong in the emperor's words, and began to explain righteously.
"Of course it's the Queen."
"The Empress is the Empress of the Central Palace, the mother of the country, and she is also on good terms with Concubine Yu. Even if Concubine Yu cannot take care of the Tenth Princess, the Empress should be the one who does."
As Rong Pei spoke, her face became more proud, proud of the good relationship between Ruyi and Hailan.
The emperor smiled and approached Rong Pei, pointing to the dragon throne beside him.
"You are so opinionated and you have brains. Can you please tell me if I am not the right person to sit on this throne?"
Rong Pei really didn't want the emperor to change the subject so he knelt down hastily and said:
"The slaves dare not."
As Rong Pei spoke, the emperor kicked her without hesitation.
"Don't dare, what are you afraid of?
what?
I told Hanxiang to raise the tenth princess, but you said no. What gives you the right to say no?
what? "
The emperor kicked Rong Pei hard several times.
Ruyi didn't move like a dead person. Only then did she realize that what Rong Pei said was inappropriate.
After the emperor kicked Rong Pei dozens of times in a row, Ruyi finally spoke with difficulty.
"emperor……"
"Hey..."
As Ruyi opened her mouth, Rong Pei, who was kicked to the ground by the emperor, groaned unexpectedly.
