Chapter 218 It's me, it's me who has an affair with Rong Pei
The young eunuchs looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and they all bowed their heads under the pressure of the emperor.
Ruyi didn't understand what was going on and was so angry that her breathing became heavier. When she raised her eyes, she saw the plaque of "Yongshou Palace".
"Where's Concubine Ling?
The incident happened at the gate of her palace, and Zhao Jiuxiao is also her man, shouldn't she come out and give an explanation?"
Ruyi glared at the plaque of Yongshou Palace with a squint. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the plaque of Yongshou Palace was a little crooked.
The plaque is like Wei Yanwan, the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked, and it refers to her.
I don't know how she taught such a person to do such a shameful thing.
Thinking of this, Ruyi sighed again. It was not worth it to be in Yongshou Palace. It was not worth it for herself to be a concubine with such a person.
Ruyi was just getting annoyed with Yanwan, but Yanwan came out with a resentful look in her eyes.
Ruyi didn't even give Yanwan the chance to pay her respects to the emperor.
Before Yan Wan stepped out of the Yongshou Palace, he glared and said bluntly:
"Ling Guifei, you have evil intentions, and the people who follow you have evil intentions as well.
Zhao Jiuxiao knew that Rong Pei was Ling Yunche's wife, but he still met with her secretly. You need to give me an explanation."
Ruyi said all this in one breath, but she still couldn't vent her anger, and she looked at Zhao Jiuxiao aggressively again.
"Zhao Jiuxiao, your master has come out, and the emperor is here too. Why don't you confess the evil things you and your master have done?"
"Tell me how you two secretly conspired to frame me and murder the emperor?"
Ruyi didn't even think about putting all the blame she could think of on Zhao Jiuxiao.
At Ruyi's signal, Ling Yunche tore open the rag from Zhao Jiuxiao's mouth and sighed.
"Jiuxiao, I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it. Sigh, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ling Yunche sent Zhao Jiuxiao to the emperor with regret and helplessness.
"Hey, Ling Yunche, you are such an idiot."
Zhao Jiuxiao really didn't know what had poisoned Ling Yunche's brain. He couldn't even see such an obvious hint.
Zhao Jiuxiao stopped talking after saying this, but Ruyi refused and urged him:
"Ling Yunche, you don't need to tell me what happened. Why did you have an affair with Rong Pei?
But you listened to Concubine Ling and secretly plotted to murder me. Or did you want to frame the emperor and put me in the wrong?"
Zhao Jiuxiao could feel the emperor's pressure even without looking up.
After lamenting repeatedly, he knelt down at the emperor's feet.
"Your Majesty, I have only one thing to say. I am your servant. I am not the noble concubine Ling as the Empress said."
"Your Majesty, please don't try to frame Concubine Ling. All the allegations of assassinating the Queen and murdering the Emperor are just your imagination.
If the Queen wants to kill me, then go ahead."
Zhao Jiuxiao couldn't say what he saw, and he didn't want to implicate Yan Wan, so he was ready to risk his life.
Yan Wan could feel Lan Cui, who was standing behind her, trembling. She also knew that Lan Cui was not trembling because she was afraid of Zhao Jiuxiao's death, but because Zhao Jiuxiao did not betray Yan Wan, and Lan Cui was proud of it.
Yan Wan was moved by the two men. Rong Pei's matter involved too many things, and Yan Wan did not inform them. However, the two men trusted her and were willing to give their lives for her. Naturally, Yan Wan would not let them down.
"My Queen, your words are so certain, but I don't believe them.
I am willing to use my life to guarantee that Zhao Jiuxiao and Rong Pei have no private feelings. They have never done anything you said."
Yanwan's eyes were firm as she stared straight at Ruyi. Today she swore to never let anyone slander Zhao Jiuxiao.
Although Yan Wan's resoluteness and determination shocked Ru Yi, Ru Yi was a stubborn person and looked at Yan Wan with disdain.
"Noble Concubine Ling, Ling Yunche's reputation has been damaged, and my reputation has been damaged. Can your life offset this?"
"Even if you add the lives of the people behind you, it can't offset your injustice."
The people that Ruyi mentioned were Chunchan, Lancui and Wang Chan.
In Ruyi's eyes, her and Ling Yunche's reputation had long outweighed the lives of these evildoers.
After ridiculing Yanwan, Ruyi asked the emperor for permission again.
"Your Majesty, Wei Yanwan has ulterior motives and has done many evil things, and her servants are no good either. Today, they caught Zhao Jiuxiao seducing Rong Pei and harming Ling Yunche and me. Who knows what kind of scandal will arise tomorrow.
Now that we have caught the perpetrators with evidence, please let your Majesty order the punishment of Wei Yanwan and others."
Ruyi's righteousness shocked everyone, and no one dared to speak for a moment.
The emperor was in a dilemma. On one hand, it was his face, and on the other hand, it was Yan Wan's life. The emperor hesitated.
"Your Majesty. I have something to say."
The emperor was in a state of confusion. Yan Wan wanted to say something, but the emperor just waved his hands and told her to speak quickly.
Yan Wan took a few steps to where the emperor could see her eyes and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, for the sake of your reputation and your descendants, please give the order and deal with me as you wish. As long as you can dispel the Queen's suspicion."
The emperor could see clearly that the person Yanwan was hinting at with her eyes was Rong Pei.
Yan Wan knew everything, and she was willing to sacrifice herself for the emperor.
"My Lady Concubine Ling, why are you doing this? Stop being stubborn and admit your mistake to the Empress.
You are also carrying a dragon fetus in your belly."
Jinzhong seemed to be urging Yanwan to admit her mistake to Ruyi, but in fact he was reminding the emperor that Yanwan was also pregnant.
Jinzhong's words did not prompt the emperor to make a decision immediately. Instead, the two young eunuchs who had been pushing to tell the truth could no longer bear it.
"Why don't we just tell her. If this continues, Concubine Ling will be wrongly killed by the Empress."
"Yes. After all, Concubine Ling is pregnant with the Emperor's heir. Why don't you go and tell him?"
The second eunuch urged the first eunuch, and he was about to speak, but the person who had initially dissuaded the two of them grabbed his collar.
"Are you so anxious to die?"
"You are blind. Imperial Concubine Ling obviously saw that something was wrong between the Empress and Aunt Rong Pei, and she only stood up for the Emperor's sake. If you go there now, the Emperor will chop off your heads."
As he said this, the young eunuch made a gesture of cutting his neck and cut the back of the neck of the young eunuch who was about to move forward.
He doesn't want to go anymore.
The emperor did have such an affair with Rong Pei, but he was hesitant whether to tell Ruyi directly about it.
If it had been said at the beginning, it would only be about marrying a maid, but now it is not the case. Rong Pei is pregnant now. According to Ruyi's temper, it is not certain how out of control the situation will be.
The emperor and Yan Wan looked at each other again, and Yan Wan said again:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the blame."
Yan Wan is already the Imperial Concubine Ling and is pregnant with the royal heir. It is not impossible to demote her to a lower position and give her a slight punishment or a severe warning.
He will promote Yan Wan back to her current position someday.
As for Zhao Jiuxiao, he is just a royal guard. There are countless royal guards, but his wife Lan Cui may need to be comforted.
Aren’t these all the emperor’s privileges?
"Noble Concubine Ling..."
"It is me. I am the one who has an affair with Rong Pei."
