"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Concubine Cheng turned pale and said incoherently, "That's not what I meant, that's not what I meant, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Don't want to die? Then why do you want to die?" Concubine Xian sneered, "You just said a lot of things, do you want me to help you recall them? All the sisters present can be witnesses!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one could hear a pin drop in the huge Yanyu Pavilion. After a brief moment of tension, Concubine Cheng gradually calmed down.

What on earth was he afraid of? Wasn't the old emperor's death approaching soon?

Now, the harem is the territory of Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu has promised to protect her!

"Haha, hahahahahahahaha, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?"

After figuring out the key, Concubine Cheng suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was sharp and piercing, and it echoed in the room.

In the cradle, Su Lili smacked her lips helplessly, and there was a hint of pity in her eyes when she looked at Cheng Bin.

[Is this person crazy? How dare he scold the emperor? Isn't he afraid of losing his head? ]

...

...

[It seems that she was deeply poisoned by Concubine Shu, but it was a pity that Concubine Shu could not save her. No wonder she died miserably in the end, and her whole family was implicated and executed! ]

The whole family will be executed? After saying this, Emperor Jian'an slightly curled his lips.

I really had this intention, but I didn't expect that Su Lili would guess it right!

"Princess Cheng, oh concubine Cheng, are you so sure that Concubine Shu has won the game?"

"Unfortunately, she and Su Yu have both been imprisoned. Xue Han has also been arrested and imprisoned by me."

"Now, the rebels have been completely eliminated, and the world is still mine!"

Emperor Jian'an spoke very slowly, but to Concubine Cheng's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.

"What? The rebels have been eliminated?"

Chengpin was incredulous, "How is this possible? No, he must be lying to me!"

Shufei and her companions had such a careful plan, how could they fail?

If I fail, what about me? Where should I go?

"Your Majesty is right. The rebels have indeed been arrested. You keep saying that you have Concubine Shu's protection, so you are most likely an accomplice in the case!"

Li Ce raised his hand and waved, and Concubine Cheng was immediately surrounded by the imperial guards.

"Come here, put Concubine Cheng in the dungeon for trial, and also put her accomplices in jail and investigate them thoroughly!"

"No, no no no, we are innocent, we are innocent!"

The concubine who had been eager to curry favor just now, now began to tremble with fear all over.

They just want to seek a protective umbrella and live well in the harem. Is this a crime?

"Take him away and torture him severely!"

Soon, Concubine Cheng and others were tied up with ropes and taken away under escort.

In the Misty Rain Pavilion, the atmosphere finally warmed up. The frightened concubines stopped crying, and Su Lili, who was busy watching the show, finally felt a little hungry again.

[Wow, I'm hungry again. I want to eat something. I want to eat the snacks in the Imperial Study Room! ]

Hearing Su Lili's voice, Li Ce immediately took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it to Su Lili.

"Well, eat something if you're hungry, but don't starve yourself."

Su Lili's eyes lit up, but before she could go to take it, she was stopped by Concubine Xian.

"Li Li is too young to eat ordinary snacks. I remember that the kitchen has warmed up a few bowls of milk and bird's nest soup. Why not ask Madam Li to bring some over?"

[Alas, it’s milk and bird’s nest soup again. I’m almost tired of it. I really want to grow up quickly and achieve food freedom! ]

Su Lili shook her short legs and sighed helplessly. Her dejected look was so soft and cute.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Our little princess will grow up one day. When the time comes, she will be able to eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It will be so wonderful!"

Li Ce weighed the little baby's butt, his smile widened, and then he handed her back to Concubine Xian.

"My dear sister, I cannot stay in the harem for long, so I will say goodbye now and we will meet again."

Then, he saluted Emperor Jian'an again, and Li Ce left with the imperial guards at a steady pace.

[Haha, my uncle is a great hero now, awesome, awesome! ]

[It’s a pity that he was played around by a woman and eventually killed by her, becoming a lonely soul...]

Woman? Li Ce, who hadn't walked far yet, heard the inner voice and almost fell flat on his face.

By the way, he actually met his love interest recently, and she is a stunningly beautiful lady.

I am her savior, and she is very grateful to me. She is planning to ask His Majesty to grant us marriage!

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go and test her some other day. If she's really a vicious woman, I'll just have to stay away from her."

In fact, he still trusts his little niece more. After all, blood relatives are the closest.

The case of treason was settled, and the rebels confessed to the crime after being severely tortured.

Emperor Jian'an issued an edict that all the rebels would be executed in the autumn, and in serious cases, their entire clans would be punished as well. This was to serve as a warning to the world that those who steal the country must pay the heaviest price!

During the days of investigating the case, Concubine Xian and the Queen were able to relax. The Queen even brought her adopted son Su Lan to Weirui Palace to play with Su Lili and develop their relationship.

Time passes by bit by bit, and the years are quiet and good.

"Huilan, have you heard? Yuqin has been released from the cold palace again, and has returned to her position as a concubine!"

It was another early morning. The Queen and Concubine Xian were eating snacks and drinking tea while chatting about gossip.

"I heard about it. My brother told me." Concubine Xian nodded slightly and said helplessly, "The Yu family has made great contributions to the king and saved the emperor. They took the initiative to ask His Majesty to forgive Yuqin. After all, she is a meritorious official. No matter how disgusted His Majesty is, he can only compromise."

As she spoke, Concubine Xian suddenly raised her head and looked at the Queen with sympathy, "By the way, you are also a daughter of the Yu family. The Yu family is really too partial. Why don't they ask for some rewards for you as well?"

"Alas, the elders of the Yu family have always been biased, but what can we do about this?"

The queen sighed helplessly and went on to drink tea and eat snacks. Opposite her, Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"It's all my fault. I brought up such sad things again. I'll apologize to Yuyao."

"And now, we are all sisters in the harem. Although the harem is not free, it is comfortable with fine clothes and delicious food. When we have nothing to do, we can chat and drink tea. Isn't it more comfortable than staying in the family?"

As she spoke, Concubine Xian picked up a chestnut paste cake and stuffed it into the Queen's palm.

"Here, this is your favorite snack, so eat more! This chestnut paste cake was bought by a palace maid from Li's cake shop after queuing up for it. It's still hot from the pan!"

"Haha, Sister Huilan is so nice. She even remembers what snacks I like to eat!"

The two sisters were talking and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was extremely sweet.

On the other side, Yuqin was named Jade Concubine and returned to Ziwei Palace. While she was grateful for surviving the disaster, she also decided to vent her anger.
