"Get out!" Pingyang Hou finally roared out only one word, then turned around and went back to his Pingyang Mansion.
Pingyang Hou fled in panic, and Tan Xiaofeng felt extremely happy. He put his hands behind his back, hummed triumphantly, and turned away.
"Hey, have you made arrangements?"
The servant also showed a gloating smile on his face, "Of course it has been arranged. Everyone around has heard that the emperor has ordered the punishment of the Prince of Pingyang! Now everyone is throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves!"
"Let's go, let's go and add insult to injury!"
His revenge is not over yet! How can he miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of others' misfortune?
In the Palace
Since the little girl went to attend the morning court, Concubine Liang naturally paid attention to what happened there.
Knowing that Yi Yi was besieged by ministers at the morning court, Concubine Liang was extremely anxious and worried.
But the ending is good, as the attention was diverted by other things.
...
...
Because of this, Concubine Liang heard about Duke Lu. Duke Lu was accidentally involved in Xia Huai's spy case and was now locked up by the emperor.
However, it is still unknown how the emperor will deal with Duke Lu, and it is unknown whether she will have a chance to take revenge.
Worried about Duke Lu's situation, Concubine Liang asked the palace maid to call Xiao Ruoyi, saying that Xiao Ruoyi had gotten up early and it was time for dinner.
However, when people arrived, Xiao Ruoyi had already enjoyed the food from the emperor's exclusive imperial kitchen and returned to Yaohua Palace under the leadership of Emperor Donglin.
Although she was concerned about Duke Lu's situation, Concubine Liang was more concerned about her daughter's health. She hugged her little girl and asked gently, "Yiyi, are you tired from the morning court?"
"No, the morning court is so much fun! Seeing those ministers being suppressed by Daddy and unable to raise their heads, it's so much fun!"
"Really? That's great!"
Xiao Ruoyi excitedly explained to Concubine Liang what happened at the morning court session, "Hehehe, mother, you don't know, Daddy was so powerful today, he locked up so many people! Duke Lu was also put in solitary confinement by Daddy!"
Concubine Liang still showed a look of shock, and looked unsure, "What? Duke Lu was put in solitary confinement? Why?"
Duke Lu and Concubine Shu conspired to frame her and caused her to be banished to the cold palace by Emperor Donglin, so he is considered her enemy.
But before she could take revenge, Duke Lu had already been put in solitary confinement. How could Concubine Liang not be shocked?
Emperor Donglin smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right, Duke Lu was involved in the Beizhao spy case, so I locked him up! But because there is no evidence, I just locked him up in the Duke's Mansion and forbid him to go out!"
Hearing it from the eunuch was one thing, but hearing it from Emperor Donglin himself was another. Concubine Liang opened her mouth slightly, her face full of shock and excitement.
The emperor actually took action against Duke Lu. Although it involved other cases, it was enough for her.
Xiao Ruoyi puffed up her cheeks angrily and said fiercely, "Humph, that's not enough! Those who bully mother are all bad guys. Daddy should avenge mother!"
Seeing the little guy angrily waving his chubby little fist in the air, Emperor Dong Lin felt that it was a bit cute, so he stretched out his big hand and wrapped the soft little fist in it.
"Don't worry, Daddy will avenge you and your daughter!" Emperor Donglin comforted softly, "I will never let the suffering you endure in the cold palace be in vain!"
Xiao Ruoyi blinked her eyes and looked at Emperor Donglin curiously, "Dad, it was you who sent mom to the cold palace!"
Emperor Donglin: "..." My little girl, I haven't forgotten it, please don't remind me!
“Ahem, ahem, I had no choice back then!” Emperor Donglin looked away, speaking guiltily.
Xiao Ruoyi still crossed her arms across her chest, pouting her lips in grievance and resentment, "Hmph!"
Emperor Donglin glanced at Xiao Ruoyi, sighed deeply, and comforted Concubine Liang, "The Beizhao spy case cannot be suppressed for too long. After all, there is no solid evidence! If there is evidence that they framed you back then, the case can be reopened, and you can also take the opportunity to depose Duke Lu!"
Concubine Liang frowned and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, have you found any evidence?"
Emperor Donglin sighed helplessly, "There is no conclusive evidence yet!"
Xiao Ruoyi shook her head. [Alas, I can only say that Duke Lu is also a meticulous person. He also knew how to kill people to silence them. He destroyed all the fatal evidence. The people who framed my mother committed suicide on the spot. Where did the evidence come from?]
Hearing the little girl's helpless sigh in her heart, Emperor Donglin and Concubine Liang both frowned.
It turns out that there is really no evidence to prove Concubine Liang's innocence. What should we do?
"My dear, I'm so sorry!"
This apology was not only for what happened in the past, but also for not being able to find evidence to prove Concubine Liang's innocence.
"Your Majesty is so sad, I am satisfied!"
Concubine Liang smiled and shook her head. She felt satisfied in her heart but her face was still filled with bitterness.
The reason why she was so convicted back then and had no energy to refute was because the people who betrayed her were the nanny and maid who had always followed her from the An Mansion. For this reason, they died to prove their guilt and there would be no evidence against them.
No wonder the little girl said there was no direct evidence to prove her innocence.
Xiao Ruoyi looked at Concubine Liang with heartache, gritting her teeth in hatred, [My mother is also pitiful, being stabbed in the back by someone close to her! Back then, Duke Lu only sent a servant to contact the nanny and maidservant around my mother unilaterally, and then the servant was killed by Duke Lu without any help from others! So there is no one to testify. ]
Emperor Donglin touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. That damn Duke Lu was really cunning. Duke Lu really implemented the concept of rather killing someone by mistake than letting the criminal go, which caused him huge trouble.
"My beloved concubine, Yiyi, don't worry, I will definitely help you to restore your innocence!" Emperor Donglin gently hugged Concubine Liang's shoulders to comfort her.
Xiao Ruoyi directly chose to ignore the words of Emperor Donglin. She did not believe the empty vote given by Emperor Donglin. She planned to get rid of Duke Lu first and abolish the backers behind Concubine Shu.
Without the support of the Duke's Mansion, wouldn't it be easy for them to take revenge on Concubine Shu and the Third Prince?
[The worst thing now is that there is no direct evidence to prove my mother's innocence! ]
Emperor Donglin and Concubine Liang nodded secretly in their hearts. This was the reason, otherwise they wouldn't have such a headache.
Xiao Ruoyi stroked her chin and continued to think, [However, if we can use indirect evidence to force Duke Lu or Concubine Shu to tell us what happened back then, then all problems will be solved! ]
Emperor Donglin's eyes lit up. Yes, how could he forget this method?
However, it is still very difficult to do this.
Concubine Liang shook her head and also felt that this method was difficult. If they admitted it, Concubine Shu would definitely be held accountable, and then it might not be as simple as being demoted and sent to the cold palace.
