Chapter 122 Kill Them All

Cui Yuru spent a lot of money and waited for almost five days before sending Pei Yu to the laundry department of the inner court.

On the day she entered the palace, Cui Yuzhen immediately borrowed her from the laundry department.

What to do is self-evident.

Cuiwei Palace remained the same as usual.

As the sky brightened, Murong Jin kissed the person in his arms on the cheek, then slowly withdrew his arm and stood up.

Luo Fu sensed that he was going to court, so she tried to open her eyes and reminded him, "Remember to wear a heating pad, grab a hand warmer, and wear thicker clothes."

Murong Jin raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and saw her lying in the warm quilt, as beautiful as a flower. He couldn't help but kiss her on the lips again, rubbing his nose against hers and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, go to sleep."

Love was already sleepy, and wrapped in this warm feeling, she soon fell asleep again.

Murong Jin didn't want to get up. He kept his hand on her cheek, pinching her earlobe, without moving for a long time.

It was not until the young eunuch outside bravely came to call him that he reluctantly got up, changed his clothes, ate some porridge, and then put on the warm bag sewn by Luo Fu, hugged the heater, got on the sedan chair, and went from Cuiwei Palace to the front hall accompanied by Gao Bin and other eunuchs.

It was dawn.

On the empty and wide road, three women were kneeling on the ground in the distance.

This road is the only way for the emperor to go to court. Everyone knows what the three people mean by kneeling here.

Gao Bin approached the sedan chair and asked, "Your Majesty, there are three people kneeling in front of us. They look like they are about to cause trouble. Would you like me to send someone to drive them away?"

Murong Jin has been in a good mood recently, so he didn't care and just responded casually.

Gao Bin pointed at two people and gave them an order. The two men immediately ran forward and dragged the leading woman back.

The three women were all startled. One of them knelt there in a daze, while the other came forward and spoke to her in a friendly manner.

After a moment of shock, the woman on the leash struggled vigorously, her voice rising as she shouted, "Your Majesty, I am your noble concubine Cui Yuzhen. I have something important to report. Please see me!"

Seeing that the imperial procession did not stop at all and the people around her were about to come to silence her, she risked her life and raised her voice even louder: "Your Majesty, I want to report the infidelity of Concubine Luo before she entered the palace. I hope Your Majesty will see me!"

As soon as she said this, the two eunuchs who were holding her were frightened and their grip loosened a little. She took the opportunity to break free and ran to the front of the ceremonial guard with her arms outstretched to block them.

The emperor's procession finally stopped.

Cui Yuzhen was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a voice laced with anger from inside the sedan chair: "Slander the Imperial Concubine, and you will receive twenty slaps on the face."

Before Cui Yuzhen could react, the person in front of her immediately subdued her and slapped her. Half of her face was numb, her ears were filled with buzzing sounds, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.

However, the second and third palms came one after another, and in just a moment, Cui Yuzhen was completely unrecognizable.

Cui Yuzhen thought she was dead, but a bucket of water was poured on her head, bringing her back to life.

She coughed painfully for a while before she found herself in the hall.

Yan Qiu and Pei Yu were kneeling on the ground with their foreheads against the ground, their bodies trembling.

She subconsciously looked forward.

I saw a young and handsome man leaning on a high seat with a heater in his hands.

The dark black dragon robe on his body revealed his identity.

Cui Yuzhen was stunned.

This was her first time meeting the emperor, and she was surprised at how handsome he was.

But there is more fear.

Twenty slaps taught her to be cautious. She didn't dare to look too much, and tried to kneel down straight, not daring to say anything.

Murong Jin pulled one hand out of the warm pocket and stroked it slowly: "Last time you slandered the Imperial Concubine in person, the Imperial Concubine only punished you with half a month of confinement. Why haven't you learned your lesson yet? If you bump into me, you will die."

His tone was gentle, even friendly, but the content of his words was chilling.

Cui Yuzhen was so frightened that she kowtowed quickly and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Everything I said is true. Not a single word is false, and I have never slandered the Imperial Concubine!"

Murong Jin said: "Oh? Then tell me more."

Cui Yuzhen said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am related to the Imperial Concubine by marriage, so I know her affairs best. The daughter that the Luo family originally wanted to send to the palace was the eldest daughter, Luo Zhen. Luo Fu has already been engaged to Pei Ji, a captain of the Yanzhou army. The two have a very good relationship. Whenever Pei Ji goes on business trips, he always brings her some rare gifts. When delivering the gifts, the two of them are alone, so you can imagine what they did.

Luo Fu also had feelings for Pei Ji. She always sent him letters or things she made by hand. Although the engagement was later cancelled, Pei Ji still took advantage of the rainy night to break into her boudoir. A man and a woman, with a burning desire between them, naturally they were bound to do something!

Everything I said is true. Pei Ji's sister is here too, and she can confirm that what I said is not false, and certainly not slanderous to the Imperial Concubine!

Cui Yuzhen managed to finish her words with one breath, but she couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

There was no turning back at this moment, so Pei Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes... I, no, I can confirm that you are not lying. My brother really loves Luo Fu. A while ago, our family even found a woman with eyes that looked very similar to Luo Fu and brought her home. When he was in Yanzhou, he did go to see Luo Fu on a rainy night and even vomited blood when he came back. I know he did this because he couldn't marry her..."

After the two of them finished talking, the hall fell into silence.

Cui Yuzhen and Pei Yu were extremely nervous, but they didn't dare to look up.

After a long while, the emperor finally sighed and said, "It's a good thing she didn't marry a sister-in-law like you."

Hearing this, Cui Yuzhen's heart suddenly sank, and she raised her head: "Your Majesty..."

Murong Jin put his hands back into his warm pockets and stood up, hugging the heater: "Kill them all."

He said this lightly and walked towards Cuiwei Palace.
