Chapter 46 Concubine Shun went up and slapped Concubine Li hard

Hong Yu agreed, turned around and walked out, and soon came back with Concubine Li.

The Imperial Concubine nodded and ordered, "Go and call Concubine Shun."

"Yes, I'll send someone there right away." Hong Yu stepped out.

Concubine Li didn't know why the Imperial Concubine wanted to call Concubine Shun, but she was guilty at the moment and couldn't care about others.

Without waiting for the Imperial Concubine to say anything, she knelt down, bowed her head, and confessed her guilt directly: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I was really worried about Thirteen's injuries, so I went against your will and went to Jingming Palace without permission. I didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me for the sake of being a mother to you."

The Imperial Concubine looked at her quietly for a long while, then spoke calmly, "I understand your mother's heart. But it is His Majesty's will to order you to be confined. I dare not deal with this matter. I will let His Majesty decide in the future."

Concubine Li was stunned, she looked up at the Royal Concubine and was greatly surprised.

She knew that the Imperial Concubine had always looked down on her. When she saw her in the past few years, she would often show her contempt and disgust for her without any concealment. In recent years, the Imperial Concubine had restrained herself a little, but she knew that in her heart, the Imperial Concubine still disliked her.

She originally thought that the Royal Concubine would seize this opportunity to add insult to injury and put her to death.

But why was the Imperial Concubine so calm, without even a hint of happiness or joy? This was too unreasonable.

Seeing the confusion in Concubine Li's eyes, the Imperial Concubine did not beat around the bush with her, "If I am not mistaken, you have heard the conversation between Tong Tong and Xiao Jiu."

Concubine Li was extremely confused and had intended to ask for clarification after the confession. She nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, I heard it. The man who hid himself was called Tong Tong? What kind of monster is he? How come I can only hear his voice but not see him?"

In fact, the Imperial Concubine was still not sure what a barrel was, so she told Concubine Li what she knew: "This barrel is a small barrel."

"A small barrel?" Concubine Li looked confused. "What kind of barrel is that?"

Royal Concubine: "To put it simply, she is a know-it-all. She knows a lot about the affairs of the world, especially the affairs of the harem. According to what Tong Tong said, we live in..."

Previously, Emperor Wen Zhao, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine had discussed the existence of Tong Tong in detail.

In view of the complicated relationships among the people in the harem and the numerous grievances and entanglements, it would be a pity to expose all the secrets at once, and everyone would be in chaos. In the end, the three of them unanimously decided not to gather everyone together to listen to Tong Tong and Xiao Jiu's conversation for the time being.

Besides, the plot happened too long ago and Tong Tong didn't know the details. If they were revealed all at once, it would cause people to panic and become suspicious.

It's better to just let nature take its course and take things one at a time.

But if someone has heard what Yi Wa Yi Tong said, then there is no need to hide it anymore, just tell that person the whole story.

The three people thought that since everyone was fighting to death and even Da Sheng was destroyed in the end, they might as well lay out this rotten hand and let everyone participate in it to save it together.

If after knowing the real situation, he still does not repent and continues to plot and use tricks, then he is hopeless and there is no need to keep him. Just get rid of him.

Therefore, the Imperial Concubine did not hide anything and told Concubine Li everything about the fact that this world is a book, who can hear what Tong Tong says, and what the restrictions are, including what the Thirteenth Prince heard.

After hearing this, Concubine Li felt a chill down her spine. "Will everything this Tong Tong said come true?"

The Imperial Concubine picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "I just said that what Tongtong said is the original plot. If no one interferes, it will come true."

Concubine Li rubbed her arms with her hands, her face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That little bastard from Yao Kingdom actually threw me, the Thirteenth, to feed the fish? No wonder my son wanted to kill him. If I knew that someone would treat me like this in the future, I would definitely kill him."

The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly, slammed the cup in her hand on the table, and asked in a cold tone: "According to what you said, your Thirteen will kill Fourteen in the future. Does that mean Fourteen should kill Thirteen now?"

"You will plot to frame Concubine Jing Gui for having an affair with the eunuch in the future, so does Concubine Jing Gui want to kill you first?"

Concubine Li choked and stammered for a long time before she spoke: "Will Thirteen kill Fourteen?"

Imperial Concubine: "That's what Tongtong said."

Concubine Li suddenly realized: "No wonder Concubine Shun didn't go to see Thirteen for me. She must have known about it."

"Fourteenth knew about it," said the Imperial Concubine, "but Shunfei should not know about it. Otherwise, given her straightforward personality, she would have reported it to the Empress or me, or even to His Majesty. How could it be so quiet?"

Thinking of Concubine Shun's straightforward temper, Concubine Li nodded: "That's true."

At this time, Xiaojiu's babyish voice came from outside, "Eighth sister, why don't we go inside?"

Hearing the soft voice of the little baby, the corners of the imperial concubine's mouth could not help but rise, and she stood up and walked out: "Wait a moment, wait for Shunfei to come, and then continue."

Li Fei's knees were sore and numb from kneeling, but she didn't dare to get up unless the Imperial Concubine told her to, so she just agreed. When the Imperial Concubine left, she sat down on the ground, rubbing her knees with a grimace.

The Eighth Princess picked up the Seventh Princess and Little Nine and took them directly to the newly built swing in the yard to play.

Ji Jinyou was anxious to know the outcome of Concubine Li's handling, so he asked that question.

The Eighth Princess carried the little girl to the swing and explained in a low voice: "Mother said that we young people should not be present when the elders are being punished, so we should wait outside first."

The Seventh Princess sat on the swing with the little girl, holding her chubby waist to protect her from falling. "Yes, Xiaojiu, Concubine Li made a big mistake. Mother will definitely be angry. We'd better stay away from her."

Ji Jinyou thought about the Royal Concubine's temper when she got angry and hit someone with a broom, and nodded quickly: "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Imperial Concubine came out unexpectedly. Ji Jinyou twisted her little body to get down to pay her respects. The Imperial Concubine picked up the little girl and kissed her soft little face: "Xiaojiu, this swing was made specially for you by your mother. Do you like it?"

Ji Jinyou nodded her head and smiled innocently, "Youyou likes it. Thank you, Madam."

"I'm glad you like it. Let's play for a while." The imperial concubine carried the little girl to sit on the swing and instructed the two restless ones: "Come on, push."

It was a rare sight to see the Imperial Concubine being so childish, so the Seventh and Eighth Princesses giggled and walked behind the swing, pushing the Imperial Concubine from the left and right and started swinging.

Ji Jinyou saw that the Imperial Concubine was holding the rope of the swing with one hand and holding her with the other. She was afraid that she would lose her grip and be thrown out, so she quickly stretched out her two little arms and hugged the Imperial Concubine's neck tightly.

Sensing the little girl's nervousness, the Imperial Concubine laughed, "Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu, your mother won't let you fall."

The Eighth Princess also smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaojiu, when mother was young, she was an expert at riding and shooting, and she was very strong."

After hearing this, Ji Jinyou finally felt relieved and loosened his arms a little, "Don't be afraid, Youyou."

As they were playing, they saw Concubine Shun hurried in from the gate of the courtyard. She stepped forward to pay her respects to the Imperial Concubine, and the seven or eight princesses saluted her in turn.

Ji Jinyou also wanted to stand up and greet the emperor, but the imperial concubine held her tightly and refused to let go: "Our little Jiu is still young, so we can skip the greetings this time. I'm sure the imperial concubine Shun will not mind."

With the Imperial Concubine's words, Shun Concubine naturally wouldn't say anything. In addition, she was a carefree person and really didn't care about these little things. She smiled and said, "Of course."

Ji Jinyou thought that since Concubine Shun had arrived, Concubine Huang would go back to her room, but to her surprise, Concubine Huang did not move. She held her in her arms and swung back and forth on the swing, and ordered Hong Yu, "Go and call Concubine Li out."

Hong Yu agreed, turned around and went back to the house to call Concubine Li.

Ji Jinyou looked at Concubine Shun and asked in her heart: [Tong, what was the final outcome of Concubine Shun? ]

[Let me take a look.] The system said, and then flipped through it, [Dead, or was killed by Concubine Li.]

There was clearly no man present, but a man's voice suddenly appeared. Shun Fei was very surprised and quickly turned her head and looked around.

But before she could finish thinking about it, she heard the second half of the sentence. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked sharply at the little girl in the Royal Concubine's arms.

Who was talking to the Ninth Princess? And why did they say she was dead?

It is said that she was killed by Concubine Li. Is this true or false? She and Concubine Li were like sisters. How could Concubine Li kill her?

I'm afraid this man is talking nonsense.

Just as she was about to ask, she received a stern warning look from the Royal Consort, and she quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

At this moment, Concubine Li came out of the house, limping over step by step.

Ji Jinyou didn't know what everyone was thinking, and continued chatting with the system: [Concubine Li killed Concubine Shun, and the Thirteenth Prince killed the Fourteenth Prince. They are both really bad. ]

System: [Who says it’s not true? The key point is that Concubine Shun didn’t know that it was Concubine Li who killed her until her death, just like the Fourteenth Prince didn’t know that it was the Thirteenth Prince who killed him until his death. This mother and son are both stupid.]

Concubine Li paused and looked at Concubine Shun with a slightly nervous expression.

When Concubine Shun heard that Concubine Li would kill her in the future, she did not take it seriously. She felt that given the deep friendship and sisterly love between the two over the years, such a situation was unlikely to happen.

But when she heard that the Thirteenth Prince would kill her Fourteenth Prince, her mind immediately recalled the time when she went to see Fourteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince's abnormal behavior, and the words he said, and she knew that this was most likely true.

She was immediately enraged and rushed towards Concubine Li without caring about anything and slapped her hard in the face.
