Ping'er couldn't distinguish between good and bad people, but she had her own unique logic for doing things.
Anyone who is good to Yongshou Palace is a good person; anyone who is bad to Yongshou Palace is a bad person.
Wei Hanyu chuckled and reached out to touch the beautiful Shu brocade in front of her.
"What kind of good person is Eunuch Le?" He only returned the favor because he had received it from the Wei family.
Perhaps because things have been going too smoothly for her lately, even the Empress Dowager hasn't bothered her much.
Wei Hanyu was extremely high-profile. He waved his hand, telling Ping'er to send the Shu brocade to the Imperial Clothing Bureau to be made into clothes, and then got up to go back to his bedside to rest.
Even if this idea had been put in place last year, Wei Hanyu wouldn't have made such a foolish move. After all, the regulations for Shu brocade were set in stone, and it was simply not something a mere concubine like her could use.
Now completely blinded by wealth, Wei Hanyu seems to have a fearless attitude.
Then, people were completely dumbfounded.
When Wei Hanyu heard the news about the Wei family of the Imperial Household Department's troubles, she was already six and a half months pregnant when the imperial physician diagnosed that she was carrying a princess.
I was already upset, and to make matters worse, something happened at home.
Wei Hanyu didn't have time to ask the reason; he could only rush to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to plead for mercy.
The emperor hated this kind of thing the most, but he had no choice but to see Wei Hanyu because she was pregnant.
He waved his hand to let Gao Yu in, and Hongli sat in the chair, feeling sullen.
Gao Yu nodded and saw Wei Hanyu looking like a headless fly as he stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, Consort Ling, the Emperor requests your presence."
Gao Yu flicked the whisk in his hand and looked at Consort Ling with a smile.
"Eunuch Gao, do you know what happened to Madam Wei?" Wei Hanyu, with her swollen belly, insisted that Madam Wei was truly wronged.
Gao Yu: ...At this time, don't complain about being poor.
Moreover, Gao Yu looked at the qipao that Wei Hanyu was wearing with a surprised expression, thinking to himself that it must be Shu brocade.
Several bolts of silk were sent from Sichuan, but the Emperor did not order the Imperial Household Department to send them to Yongshou Palace. How could anyone dare to wear them out?
"Your Highness, I know nothing about the Wei family's affairs, but His Majesty is still waiting for you."
At least go in and talk to the Emperor. What's the point of talking so much to a mere servant like him?
After Gao Yu reminded her, Wei Hanyu realized that she had been confused because she was worried.
Indeed, what is there to say to a lackey?
"Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Gao," Wei Hanyu forced a smile.
He told Ping'er to stand guard at the door, and then he pushed the door open and went in.
She was ruthless enough to herself that Wei Hanyu simply knelt on the ground to plead for the Wei family.
In order to deliberately let the emperor know that she was pregnant, she made her belly protrude forward, making it hard to go unnoticed.
Unfortunately, Hongli was blind and couldn't see Wei Hanyu's belly, but he did notice the clothes she was wearing.
He stood up and walked to Wei Hanyu's side, his tone extremely serious, "What's going on with your clothes?"
Wei Hanyu: ...Hmm?
Looking up at the Emperor with a somewhat dazed expression, Wei Hanyu reached out and touched her clothes. "Is my attire somewhat inappropriate?"
She inwardly cried out in alarm; she had been in such a rush when she came out that she had forgotten to change.
Her clothes were brightly colored, and it was really inappropriate for a pregnant woman like her to come and plead for mercy.
"Ha! Wei, you really have a big heart!"
When Hongli saw Wei Hanyu pretending to be stupid, he immediately lost his good impression of the Wei family.
The good daughter whom Madam Wei had praised dared to wear such an expensive item as Shu brocade.
If he truly had good family upbringing, he should have been even harsher, such as dismissing him from his post and sending him home, or exiling his entire family.
Emperor Hongli changed his earlier lenient treatment of the Wei family to a more severe solution.
It was all because Wei Hanyu was careless and wore the wrong clothes.
Wei Hanyu also realized the problem from Hongli's expression.
Looking at the bright and beautiful clothes, she suddenly realized what Hongli was angry about.
Wow, she overlooked the fatal flaw of Shu brocade!
She was about to explain to Hongli that she hadn't done it on purpose, and that the clothes were sent by people from the Imperial Household Department to frame her.
Hongli: ...
Hongli looked at Wei Hanyu with a playful expression, thinking to himself, "Does this person think I'm a fool?"
Framed? Using expensive Shu brocade? Does Consort Ling even deserve it?
Hongli's first few words left Wei Hanyu speechless. He didn't dwell on her any longer and simply waved for everyone to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Go back and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. If that doesn't work, then go to the Cold Palace to reflect on your actions!"
Wei Hanyu: ...?!
Wei Hanyu was deeply shocked, especially by the fact that the Emperor was so ruthless.
She was a concubine who was pregnant with the emperor's child and had given birth to several children for him.
“Your Highness Consort Ling, since the Emperor has given the order, this servant dares not refuse.”
"Even for the sake of the imperial heir in your womb, you must first return to Yongshou Palace to rest and recuperate."
Gao Yu wore a fake smile, which made Consort Ling want to tear that face to shreds.
Hypocritical! Disgusting!
Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and Consort Ling's hand holding the bottle trembled slightly. In the end, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to turn and leave.
Wei Hanyu could hold on on the way, but collapsed as soon as she got back to the palace.
Especially since she was pregnant, she was easily agitated and prone to miscarriage.
Yongshou Palace was in chaos, with some calling for imperial physicians while others were making things worse.
Ping'er was too young to control the situation, so Songhe stepped in to suppress it, which at least prevented any trouble from happening in Yongshou Palace while Wei Hanyu was unconscious.
After Wei Hanyu woke up, Songhe obediently stepped down to the sidelines, indicating that everything in the palace was up to Wei Hanyu to arrange.
Wei Hanyu: ...
Wei Hanyu had no mind to arrange these things. The emperor told her to return to the palace to rest during her pregnancy and not to interfere in the affairs of the Wei family. The implication was that he wanted to eradicate the Wei family completely and not give them any chance to turn the tables.
