Actually, he hadn't expected the Emperor to suddenly visit Situ Jin at Fengyi Residence, so it was his idea to deliberately lead the Emperor to see Situ Jin sharing a bed with a man.
Although the Emperor will not kill Situ Jin for the time being due to the influence she has cultivated in the court, deposing her as Empress and disfiguring her is enough to make things difficult for her.
If she dares to bully Rong Qingqing, he will make her pay an even heavier price.
A flash of savagery crossed his eyes.
"So, you knew about Situ Jin's affair with that man all along?" Emperor Zhaojing glanced at him, somewhat displeased. That brat, he'd kept so many things from him.
"I know," Xie Jingrun replied, still not denying it.
Emperor Zhaojing was taken aback by his frankness.
"Alright, alright. You've done a great job by capturing Situ Jin today, and I'll remember it."
Xie Jingrun glanced at him and saw that he was genuinely happy. Only then did he realize that he had absolutely no affection for Situ Jin as a husband and wife.
"If there is nothing else, then I shall take my leave." He paused for a moment and then said.
"Yes, go ahead." Emperor Zhaojing waved his hand.
...
Although it was late at night, because Emperor Zhaojing did not deliberately suppress the news, the news that the empress had committed adultery in the palace and had been deposed quickly spread throughout the villa.
No one slept well that night, because many of the ministers were loyal to the Empress.
With the empress's downfall, they were filled with anxiety and unease.
Rong Shiqing was one such example.
He had a very good impression of Feng Mo. Although the Empress's sudden accident would not affect Feng Mo, since the Emperor only had one son, Feng Mo, the Empress's sudden accident tonight was still unsettling.
It seems that something they are unaware of is happening quietly.
After hearing the news, Rong Yiyi couldn't sleep either.
She was already having trouble sleeping because the redness and swelling on her face hadn't subsided, and now she couldn't sleep at all.
Of course, she wasn't worried about Situ Jin, but rather she couldn't wait to comfort Feng Mo.
With the Empress in trouble, Feng Mo must be in need of comfort the most right now. If she can appear before him in time and offer some comfort, it will surely change his opinion of her.
It's just a pity...
She reached out and touched her face.
How could she appear in front of Feng Mo with such a face?
She was so angry that she threw the pillow on the ground.
That damned Rong Qingqing, she won't let her get away with this.
The next day.
Because of the Empress's incident, the Emperor was furious and lost all interest in hunting, so he ordered a return to the capital.
For a moment, everyone was in a bit of a flurry of activity, but they dared not be negligent and immediately ordered their servants to tidy up their luggage.
While everyone else was busy preparing to return to the city, Rong Qingqing was still lying in bed sleeping.
She didn't sleep well last night either.
Of course, she was unaware that Situ Jin had already encountered trouble.
She had just woken up when Shangguan Yanran came in.
Why aren't you up yet?
“I am a patient,” Rong Qingqing reminded her. It was only natural for patients to stay up late.
"Okay, I almost forgot," Shangguan Yanran said with a smile, then asked, "Do you know what serious trouble has happened?"
"What's wrong?" Rong Qingqing asked in surprise, propping herself up as she remembered.
Shangguan Yanran helped her up and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"The wound has healed a lot and doesn't hurt much anymore," Rong Qingqing said, then asked, "Didn't you say something big happened? What big thing?"
Shangguan Yanran then told her what had happened.
Rong Qingqing was greatly surprised after hearing this.
She didn't expect Situ Jin to fall from power so quickly.
