Chapter 31
Lord Wei, can you please investigate before you speak? He cannot bear this charge!
He quickly and softly defended himself to Emperor Mingde: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter!"
Fortunately, the system explained: [That's not the case. Eunuch Cao is still very loyal to the emperor. He would not do such a thing for Concubine Li for a little benefit. ]
After listening to the system's explanation, Eunuch Cao was so moved that tears were about to fall.
But can you all stop talking like this? I can't stand it anymore.
Wei Yinuo: [System, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what's going on. ] System: [This is what happened
. This person is actually Concubine Li's childhood sweetheart, named Shen Yifang. After Concubine Li entered the palace, the two separated. Later, Shen Yifang suffered a sudden family change, his parents died, his family fell into poverty, and he ended up wandering the streets, homeless. 】
【This year, when Concubine Li left the palace to return home to visit her relatives, she happened to meet him. The two soon rekindled their old love, so Concubine Li had the idea of bringing him to the palace, so that the two could be together for a long time and satisfy her needs. 】
【And Shen Yifang had no home to return to anyway, and he couldn't even have three meals a day. He could be starved to death or frozen to death at any time. So when Concubine Li proposed this idea, he quickly agreed. 】
Emperor Mingde's face was extremely ugly at this time. Concubine Li was so brave! She actually dared to secretly have an affair with someone, and even wanted to bring him into the palace! How dare she? !
Wei Yinuo: [But that was a living person after all. How did Concubine Li bring a living person into the palace in front of so many people? ]
[And even if she could get the person in, where could she hide such a big target? This has not happened in a day or two. No matter where she puts him, he will be discovered sooner or later, right? ]
[Also, what is the relationship between this person and the fake eunuch? ]
Everyone pricked up their ears. They couldn't figure out the questions that Wei Yinuo had just raised.
However, in order to avoid Wei Yinuo's suspicion, they still pretended to discuss state affairs, but they all lowered their voices unconsciously.
Emperor Mingde was not interested in state affairs at this time. This was a major event concerning his harem, and he wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible.
System: [Well, in order to get someone into the palace, Concubine Li really put a lot of thought into it. She first hid the person under the carriage she was riding in, and then entered the palace when it was getting dark. Not only that, she also bought some gifts for the guards who entered the palace for inspection. After such an operation, she succeeded.]
Wei Yinuo: [In this case, the entry and exit system of this palace still has loopholes! 】
When Lord Song, the commander of the Imperial City Division, heard this, he was so scared that he broke out in a sweat. The palace guards were the responsibility of their Imperial City Division, and now such a thing happened within his jurisdiction. As the commander of the Imperial City Division, he is probably to blame.
The system continued: [You are right. Concubine Li secretly brought the person into the palace, and for a while, she really couldn't find a suitable place to put her, so she temporarily hid her in the bedroom.]
Wei Yinuo: [This Concubine Li is quite courageous. Isn't she afraid of being discovered?]
System: [Concubine Li is usually aloof. Except for the emperor who goes there once or twice a month, almost no one goes to her bedroom. 】
【But there was one time when she was almost caught. And that person was none other than your emperor. 】
Wei Yinuo: 【No way, is it so naked? System, please tell us more. 】
This kind of affair is the most exciting. Wei Yinuo suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly.
System: 【It's like this. At the beginning, Concubine Li hid the person in her own palace. She was terrified all day long, afraid of being discovered. She didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for fear that the emperor would suddenly visit at any time. Although Emperor Mingde only came once or twice a month, the time was not fixed. She was afraid that if Emperor Mingde suddenly came to visit and caught her, it would be a capital crime! So before late at night, she would hide Shen Yifang, and only let him out when it was quiet at night to show her affection. 】
【But as time went on, Shen Yifang had some opinions. It was okay to let him hide for a day or two, but he couldn't stand it for a long time. Concubine Li thought of a way. She secretly bribed a little eunuch around the emperor and asked him to notify her before the emperor came to her so that she could prepare in advance. 】
【The little eunuch thought that Concubine Li was eager to be favored and wanted to dress herself up before the emperor came to win his favor. Such things were not uncommon in the palace, so he didn't doubt Concubine Li. Anyway, this matter was not a difficult thing for him, and it didn't require any effort, and he could get some benefits from it, so he agreed to Concubine Li's request. 】
【At first, although the eunuch agreed, Concubine Li was still cautious and did not dare to be too presumptuous. She only let Shen Yifang out occasionally during the day. Later, as time went on, nothing went wrong, and the two became more and more daring. As long as the eunuch did not report, they would get together recklessly. 】
【But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Once, the emperor was going to the queen's bedroom, but when he passed by Concubine Li's bedroom, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to Concubine Li's bedroom for a long time, so he thought about going in to take a look. Host, guess what the two of them were doing at this time? 】
Emperor Mingde had already clenched his fists so hard that they creaked, and Eunuch Cao, who was standing by, was so angry that he didn't dare to say a word.
Emperor Mingde had a memory of what the system said. He remembered that when he went to Concubine Li's place, Concubine Li was sleeping, and he always felt that Concubine Li looked a little strange, and her face was red, as if she was very nervous.
He was also very surprised that she went to bed so early.
Concubine Li just said that she had not slept well at night recently and was not energetic, so she went to bed early.
She also added that she was worried because she was worried that she had neglected the emperor. That's why she felt uneasy.
He really believed Concubine Li's explanation.
Now listening to what the system said, and thinking back to Concubine Li's expression at that time, could it be that she was doing something with that guy at that time? !
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingde clenched his fists even tighter, his head was throbbing, and the blood in his body seemed to be surging. He was really afraid that he would lose control and run to the harem with a knife to chop that bitch to death!
