Does she know she's guilty? Why should she know she's guilty? How should she know she's guilty? She's clearly innocent!
After hearing what Hongli said, Wei Hanyu suddenly felt a little angry.
It was as if a fire had risen from her heart, indescribable and inexplicable, but she knew she completely disliked what Hongli had said.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I do not understand what you are talking about?"
After bowing and greeting, Wei Hanyu lowered her head slightly, burying half of her face in the light streaming in from the side window.
Hongli sat in his chair with his eyes half-closed. His gaze was too high for him to see Wei Hanyu's expression clearly, but that didn't stop him from hearing the dissatisfaction in the few words the other party uttered.
Is this an expression of dissatisfaction with him? Why?
Wei Hanyu had a fiery temper, but Hongli's temper would only be even greater than Wei Hanyu's.
After all, in Hongli's view, Wei Hanyu had absolutely no reason to speak to him like that; he was the emperor! And moreover, he was the victim of all this.
Wei Hanyu is the one who clearly did something wrong! Yet she dares to argue and make excuses here.
"Wei, do you truly not understand the meaning of my question? The events that occurred in the Nine Provinces' Pure Palace have nothing to do with you?"
What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you try to outsmart him at a time like this? You have some nerve!
Upon hearing this, Wei Hanyu simply said, "As expected." The Emperor has imprisoned the Imperial Noble Consort for so long without taking any action, which must be because other evidence has emerged since then.
The Emperor is really something else, completely different from the decisive and ruthless person she imagined. Could it be that after all these years in the palace, the Imperial Noble Consort is the Emperor's true love?
Wei Hanyu didn't believe it, but the undeniable facts before her left her no choice but to continue deceiving herself.
As if she had given up entirely, Wei Hanyu nodded calmly, "How did Your Majesty find out? I have done more than enough."
All the suspicious points they created were aimed at the Imperial Noble Consort and the Yikun Palace faction.
Based on the speed at which the Emperor had acted previously, Wei Hanyu had made a deduction and determined that it was impossible for the Emperor to investigate every single suspicious point one by one.
But this time, the impossible became possible, which made Wei Hanyu feel even more frustrated.
It was so close. How much better it would have been if the Imperial Noble Consort had died with such a stigma, and her and Yongyan's future would have been much smoother.
Hongli snorted and pointed out that some of Wei Hanyu's ideas were too naive.
"The matter involves such a wide range of people that even if I were a foolish emperor, I would still have to investigate it."
As long as an investigation is conducted, no scheme can be hidden, no matter how perfectly Consort Ling thought she had done it.
There are no secrets in this world. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.
Hongli grinned, but at the same time, he was so angry at Wei Hanyu's question that he burst out laughing.
The sounds kept ringing in Wei Hanyu's ears, but she didn't react at all.
The truth has been laid out; what can she say? Whether she tries to deny it or admits it, the outcome will be the same.
well
I was too conservative back then, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Your Majesty, I know I am guilty. This matter has nothing to do with Yongyan. I beg Your Majesty to spare Yongyan for the sake of blood ties."
She had already been summoned separately, and Wei Hanyu dared not involve Consort Ning to stir up trouble.
The best course of action now is to protect the safety of the smaller ones, especially Yongyan.
Without the Emperor's care, Wei Hanyu didn't know if Yongyan could continue to live.
The imperial harem is too cruel; anyone who has lived in it will become a stranger to others.
Isn't Wei Hanyu a perfect example? She's never been this crazy before.
Right now, if I don't go crazy, I'll be letting down all the suffering and hardship I've endured over the years, and even more so, I'll be letting down the power and interests I've been so attached to.
Wei Hanyu knelt on the ground, feeling utterly disgusted with her own subservient appearance.
Unfortunately, she was helpless. Even though the old man sitting in the chair was frail and old, he could still take her life with a flick of his finger.
Wei Hanyu felt tired, not only mentally but also physically.
It felt like I was completely wrapped in a giant cardboard box.
As the amount of air around them dwindled, Wei Hanyu's shallow breaths turned into heavy gasps, and her facial expression became increasingly contorted.
Ferocious? Absolutely ferocious!
At first, Hongli didn't realize it and thought that Wei Hanyu was deliberately pretending in order to soften his heart and get him off the hook.
Unexpectedly, Wei Hanyu was actually suffering from a health problem, and she was about to collapse to the ground.
Hongli couldn't sit still any longer, so he called Hu Shijie, who was standing at the door, to come and drag the man away.
"Go and invite the imperial physician to come and treat him."
With a furrowed brow, Hongli turned his head away from looking at Wei Hanyu's current appearance, whether out of taboo or something else, it was unclear.
Hu Shijie first gave a shout, then turned and instructed the two eunuchs waiting at the door to take the person to the side hall next door.
Of course, since the Emperor had said to summon the imperial physician, Hu Shijie certainly couldn't forget about it.
He told the eunuchs to arrange all these things, chuckled, and went to the emperor to seek attention.
He had just heard arguing coming from inside the palace. Although he didn't know what had happened between Consort Ling and the Emperor, his instincts as a servant told him that he needed to seize the opportunity to curry favor with the Emperor.
After all, Gao Yu was waiting behind him to take over the position again. Hu Shijie didn't want his career as the general manager to end so soon.
Hongli felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the servants approach him, massaging him and whispering words of concern, but he didn't say anything.
Hongli gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" and waved for him to keep an eye on Consort Ling for him.
"If anything happens, come and report it immediately. You are someone I trust, so don't let me down."
