Chapter 243: A Generation of Evil Concubines (17)

The crisscross scars on Gao Shiyi’s body frightened them, and Gao Shiyi’s crying made them wish they had never entered the palace.

No wonder Emperor Ping wanted to disband the harem, no wonder those concubines who left the palace all pretended to be innocent, no wonder... it was all Emperor Ping who wanted to hide his secrets.

After Gao Lao Taijun and Qin Shuangshuang returned to Chaoyang Palace from the palace, they completely relaxed and cried for a while while hugging each other.

The two of them had never thought that they would know the secrets of the royal family. But since they knew it, they could only keep it to themselves. Telling it to others would only implicate others for nothing.

Qin Shuangshuang thought that Emperor Ping looked elegant and doted on Gao Shiyi in various ways, and she was very envious. From today on, she just wanted to concentrate on living her own life, and dared not say more, nor dare to have more thoughts.

Even if the delicacies, gems and jades were delivered to her like flowing water, without a healthy body and freedom, living like a machine full of desires, what's the point? Although her husband is not as powerful as Emperor Ping, he is at least sincere to her. He will not force her or pervert her sexual life, and he will always keep her company if there is anything good. If she is not satisfied, it will be unforgivable.

It was from this day that Prince Zhaoyang found that the two people closest to him had changed. But he liked their changes.

According to the report of the eunuch, Qin Shuangshuang and Old Lady Gao looked pale and flustered when they left the palace. Emperor Ping was immediately interested and summoned Shi Yi to Dayang Palace for questioning. Shi Yi

ate the fresh Hami melon that was tributed by a small border country, and said mysteriously, "I won't tell you.

" "If you don't tell me, then don't dream of the fruits this month, my beloved concubine." Emperor Ping knew that gluttony was her Achilles' heel.

Shi Yi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and approached Emperor Ping who was reviewing memorials and said, "I don't believe that the emperor hasn't guessed it."

She deliberately made Emperor Ping look gloomy when he left Weirui Palace, just to show Qin Shuangshuang and Old Lady Gao in advance. It is impossible for a shrewd person like Emperor Ping not to know her purpose.

"My beloved concubine has slandered me. If you tell the truth, I will forgive you." Emperor Ping put the last memorial on the table, and his tense body finally began to relax.

"What if you don't say it?" Shi Yi glanced at him carefully and silently moved to a safer position.

"If you don't say it, you will be severely punished." Emperor Ping clenched his fists, and his knuckles were crackling. Shi Yi pretended to be scared and told the truth.

"My beloved concubine is so bold that she spread rumors that I am impotent and a pervert." Emperor Ping's face was a little solemn.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." Shi Yi patted his chest gently and said flatteringly: "The reason why Qin Shuangshuang envies me is nothing more than your favor to me. But if Qin Shuangshuang finds out that the favor I get is not pure in nature, will she still envy me?"

"Then my beloved concubine shouldn't speculate about me like this." Emperor Ping's eyes were dark, like a sign of a storm.

"Your Majesty, you can't be angry with me. There are rumors outside the palace." Shi Yi blinked her eyes, trying to be cute to ease his mood. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ping was even more depressed because of what she said. Emperor

Ping didn't favor his concubines because he had no feelings. Letting these concubines go out and let them marry was what they needed, but he didn't expect that those women who left the palace would spread rumors that he was impotent. Alas, it's too difficult to be a human being these days. But as an emperor, how could he reprimand the people for these rumors? He could only pretend that he knew nothing.

But what he is worried about now is not this matter, but the lifelong affairs of those concubines he dismissed.

Although he promised generous conditions for marriage, because these women had been in the harem, ordinary families did not dare to ask for marriage, and these daughters did not dare to marry freely. Most of them could only be detained in the family ancestral hall by the clan elders. In this way, what was the point of him sending them away?

Thinking about it was really a headache, so he didn't want to think about it anymore.

He didn't expect Shi Yi to take the initiative to bring it up.

"Since the emperor has sent all the concubines out of the palace, it is naturally for their lifelong affairs, but after they leave the palace, their lives are not much freer than in the palace."

Shi Yi didn't want to care about these things, but when he heard Gao Lao Taijun talking about it, he thought of Wang Songyan and felt that she was a bit pitiful, so he wanted to help.

"Oh, what about the beloved concubine?" The emperor's eyes lit up with admiration, but he was forcibly suppressed.

"I think we should set an example to relieve them of their worries." Shi Yi took the initiative to lean over to his side and whispered.

"That's a good idea." Emperor Ping's eyes lit up surprisingly, and he immediately issued an order to summon Wang Yushi into the palace.

"Your Majesty, what's the important matter for summoning me?" Because of his eldest daughter who was expelled from the palace, Wang Yushi was very cautious in his words and deeds.

"I heard that you always love your daughter as if it were your life." Emperor Ping was painting a landscape painting in front of the imperial table, and his movements were free and easy, so he couldn't tell what his intention was. He had to bow his body and said humbly: "I lost my wife in middle age, and because my eldest daughter is the daughter of my original wife, I put more thought into her."

"I heard that you have a distant relative named Nian." Emperor Ping stopped writing and looked at him. The eyes that made people unable to see the meaning made him touch his beard and nodded, saying: "I do have such a distant relative. Because my nephew has a poor family background but is very motivated, I usually take care of him."

"I heard that your distant nephew once had feelings for your beloved daughter?" Emperor Ping's eyes lit up even more. He didn't expect that the imperial concubine in the harem was more informed than the emperor.

The words of Emperor Ping made Wang Yushi's legs weak. He knelt on the ground and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty is wise. My beloved daughter and nephew have never done anything beyond the rules. My daughter has never done anything to let down Your Majesty or the royal family."

He swore in his heart that if he knew who was gossiping around the emperor, he would make his whole family suffer.

"My dear minister, you worry too much. I came here today for you and my beloved daughter." Emperor Ping walked down and helped him up personally.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?" Wang Yushi was confused.

"Your beloved daughter is a good woman, and your nephew is also a pillar of talent. Why don't we help such a good couple together?" Emperor Ping helped him to the chair, and Wang Yushi sat down on the chair.

When Wang Yushi walked out of the hall, his head was still dizzy. He didn't expect that Emperor Ping would be so generous and consider his Yanyan so sincerely.

He thought that he had really judged others by his own standards.
