It was still dark and a few remaining stars were hanging in the sky.
Taking advantage of the sparse light, Emperor Mingde came to Huayang Palace in a sedan chair.
He had a gloomy face and looked a little scary.
When the maid on duty saw him, she trembled all over and almost screamed.
When the eunuch glared at her, she reacted immediately and covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to make a sound.
Emperor Mingde didn't look at her, walked around the little palace maid and went straight into the palace.
The door was closed and it seemed that the person inside was still asleep.
Without waiting for the palace maid to summon him, Emperor Mingde pushed the door open and walked in.
When the door opened, he paused for a moment and looked inside.
The light in the room was dim, and I could only vaguely see two people sleeping on the bed.
He cast his cold eyes towards the bed, wishing he could freeze the person to death.
Concubine Mei was awakened by the sound of the door being slammed open, and she angrily shouted, "Who is disturbing me? Get out of here!"
Her eyes were still closed, and there was suppressed anger in her charming voice.
Which blind palace maid woke her up? Seeing that there was no response from the other party, she sat up suddenly.
There was a tall figure at the door. He looked familiar. It was...
"Your Majesty, why... are you here?" Concubine Mei's voice trembled, she couldn't believe that Emperor Mingde had woken up.
The quilt slipped off her body. She looked down and saw that her body was covered with ambiguous marks. She quickly pulled the quilt to cover her body.
The man next to him was awakened by the noise, mumbled a few words, and fell asleep again.
This scene made Concubine Mei's heart sink. It was all over.
Emperor Mingde approached slowly with steady steps, and every step he took was on Concubine Mei's heart.
"Mei Fei, how dare you be so rebellious." Emperor Mingde said gritting his teeth.
Concubine Mei was panicked, and her voice was filled with sadness. "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
At this time, Zhou Yan was finally awakened by them.
He heard the word "Emperor" in a daze, and was so frightened that he lost his soul and struggled to sit up.
He carefully shifted his gaze towards the door, and when he saw the figure of Emperor Mingde, his heart instantly rose.
Your Majesty, why is he here? What should he do?
"What else is there to explain? Come, drag this adulterous couple away and behead them."
When Concubine Mei heard this, she almost fainted.
She forced herself to stand up, staggered a few steps, and finally crawled to Emperor Mingde and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Her eyes were filled with tears, which flowed down her cheeks.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde pursed his lips tightly, with a cold look in his eyes.
I was unmoved by her words.
He recalled Concubine Li's sad look and felt even more disgusted with Concubine Mei.
If she hadn't been vicious, how could Concubine Li have died?
Zhou Yan saw this scene.
He knelt before Emperor Mingde, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and blamed everything on Concubine Mei. "Your Majesty, it was your Majesty who seduced me. I was confused for a moment. Please let me go."
With a "pop" sound, Zhou Yan's face swelled up.
Mei Fei was so angry that she slapped him in the face. "Zhou Yan, you actually..."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he grabbed Concubine Mei's arm tightly to stop her from going crazy. "My queen, do you dare to say that you didn't seduce me first?"
The fact is just as Zhou Yan said, it was Concubine Mei who took a fancy to him and pulled him into the gentle trap she set.
The two of them avoided being seen and stayed together for a long time.
However, this kind of feeling is in jeopardy when it comes to one's own interests.
Once one of them betrays, the other will fight to the death.
"You..." Concubine Mei couldn't break free, her chest heaving with anger.
"Enough." Seeing the two people entangled together, the veins on Emperor Mingde's forehead were visible and he shouted harshly.
The violent roar scared the two of them so much that they separated immediately.
This was the first time that Concubine Mei saw Emperor Mingde so fierce. He had never yelled at her before.
Concubine Mei didn't even think about the fact that times have changed since the past. In the past, Emperor Mingde doted on her and was willing to tolerate everything about her.
And now that he knows about her affairs, can he still be nice to her?
At this time, the guards came in and saw Concubine Mei and Zhou Yan kneeling on the ground, and prepared to pull them down.
"Let go, I'll walk by myself." Concubine Mei glared at the guards and didn't allow them to get close to her.
Even if she made a mistake, she was still the emperor's concubine and no one was allowed to touch her at will.
The guards hesitated for a while and dragged Zhou Yan away.
When being dragged away, Zhou Yan begged for mercy loudly and cried and admitted his mistakes, but unfortunately Emperor Mingde didn't even look at him.
He should have thought about today's situation before he got involved with Concubine Mei.
"Your Majesty, Xuan'er is still young. After I die, can you send someone to take care of him?" Before leaving, Concubine Mei asked unwillingly.
If she died, what would happen to Xuan'er? He was so young.
She thought Emperor Mingde would be soft-hearted, but after hearing her words, he became even colder.
He glanced at her with a cold gaze and sneered, "Is Xuan'er really my child? He is not your and Zhou Yan's flesh and blood?"
Concubine Mei gasped. How did the emperor know this?
Only she and Zhou Yan knew about this, and Zhou Yan would never tell him.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Emperor Mingde opened his lips and said, "Why, you didn't dare to admit that you did something wrong?"
"Are you wondering how I knew this? I heard everything you said last night."
Concubine Mei's pupils shrank and her face turned pale. Fear was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her neck.
Seeing Concubine Mei's expression, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Emperor Mingde's face.
