If that doesn't work, then ask the emperor to come.

"Enough! You two servants dare to interrupt here. Mi Shan, how do you usually discipline them! Such a trivial matter. With me and the Empress Dowager here, why bother the Emperor?"

"That's right. If Consort Mi Hui is innocent, no one can falsely accuse her."

"It's best not to make a big fuss and let it reach the Emperor's ears, causing him trouble."

Empress Ru's eyes flickered slightly, and she echoed,

"His Majesty is already exhausted from handling official duties. It is not advisable to publicize the strange occurrence in the palace."

"What about Consort Yu? Is there any news about her?"

"Master Kongwang has already gone to capture it."

"Since that's the case," the Empress Dowager said coldly, her eyes deep, "before Master Kongwang returns, none of you should argue, and no one is allowed to make any rash moves."

Mi Shan knew that the Empress Dowager had also played a role in this matter, and naturally she did not want the Emperor to know.

Someone like Bai Lingyu, whose origins are unclear and who is seductive and bewitching, is not worth mourning even if she is a demon.

However,

The more they try to hide it, the less they can hide it.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Xu Ninghai's voice rang out.

The faces of the crowd changed drastically with fear and shock.

Li Shengyuan wore a bronze mask, and his bright yellow robe flowed gracefully.

He strode in with his head held high.

Xu Ninghai and Qiao Yuanshi followed behind him, along with a group of guards.

"You kept this from me! Such a big thing and you didn't even inform me! Did you want my two beloved concubines to die without knowing why before you came to tell me!"

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

He intimidated me like that.

Many people are terrified.

Murong Wan was the first to kneel down.

Only the Empress Dowager did not need to bow, and even the Empress bowed first before replying with a displeased expression:

"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. I wonder where you got this information? Is such a trivial matter really worth making such a big fuss about coming all this way?"

Li Shengyuan ignored her and focused his gaze on Mi Shan.

Seeing the marks left on her body from being bound, her tattered clothes, wrapped in Prince Rui's outer garment, and her disheveled hair,

This tells us that she has suffered a lot.

My heart suddenly ached.

"Who has injured you so badly, my beloved concubine! Imperial Physician Qiao, quickly examine Consort Mi Hui's injuries!"

After saying that, he personally escorted Mi Shan into the private room.

He lifted the curtain and came out, coldly staring at the Empress.

"Shen Rouci, what business is it of my how I got the news! How dare you! What exactly happened! If you don't explain it to me clearly! Even if you're the Empress, or even a celestial being, I'll punish you!"

"Your Majesty, what arrogance! I risk my life to remonstrate with you, begging you not to be bewitched by evil spirits any longer!"

Empress Rouci looked frustrated and had not yet answered when Prince Pingxi strode in.

His eyes and brows exuded a righteous and awe-inspiring aura.

"To dare to challenge the Empress Dowager for the sake of two wicked men! Even if the late King knew of this in the afterlife, he would surely be extremely disappointed in you!"
