Chapter 302 Wei Yanwan 42
"You come to ask me? Don't you know what shameful thing you have done? You have really brought shame upon me."
Hongli didn't care at all whether Concubine Jia was really having an affair or not. He just needed an outlet to vent his anger and a scapegoat, and Concubine Jia, who aroused his suspicion at this moment, became the most suitable candidate.
Concubine Jia's heart tightened, unwilling to believe that she had been exposed, and she quickly knelt on the ground to defend herself: "I really don't know what I did wrong, Your Majesty!"
"That Ai'er from the ice room has confessed. She saw you arguing with a monk and even found the bracelet you lost in your panic. With all the evidence, you still dare to argue!"
"What!? Your Majesty, did someone make a mistake? How could it be me? Impossible, this is impossible!"
"Who else could it be if not you?"
"Yes... In any case, I will never betray the Emperor, much less do such a filthy thing. I am willing to swear on the Yu family!"
Concubine Jia stopped the words that were about to be tricked out, stared with her eyes and raised her finger firmly, as if she was about to swear on her mother's family in the next second. Wei Yanwan felt so sorry for Yu Shi when she saw this.
The latter one is true, but the former one... ha, she won't betray the emperor. This is really a joke in the entire Forbidden City. Does she have anything else in her heart besides Prince Yu?
Not to mention the emperor, even her own son and herself are probably not as good as a hair of the prince.
Oh, that's not right. She really didn't betray the emperor. After all, she never had any true feelings for Zhalong. She was just acting as a boss.
"No need for that. I've seen enough of these tricks. Save your oath for the gods and Buddhas in your palace."
Seeing that Concubine Jia was about to argue, Wei Yanwan suddenly stood up and said to Hongli, "Although I have no contact with Concubine Jia, I think she is a noble lady of the Yu family. It is unlikely that someone of her status would do such a thing."
Neither Hongli nor Concubine Jia expected that she would suddenly plead for mercy, but Concubine Jia didn't care what the other party meant at this time, and just nodded quickly.
But Wei Yanwan continued, "But this pearl necklace is indeed a personal belonging of Concubine Jia. It is unreasonable to say that it was lost casually."
"I think this matter should start with the people around Concubine Jia. If Concubine Jia really has an affair with someone, I'm afraid it can't be hidden from Zhenshu and others; if not... I'm afraid there might be a thief in Qixiang Palace."
"No, Zhenshu can't do that! Your Majesty, I'm still pregnant and I can't be without Zhenshu's care..."
Hongli, however, was no longer bothered to pay attention and made the final decision: "Let's do it this way. Li Yu, send someone to take Zhenshu to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. Tell everyone that she didn't take good care of Concubine Jia, causing her miscarriage and forcing her to rest in bed."
Seeing that Jin Yuyan was still begging for mercy, Hongli looked at her calmly and said, "Concubine Jia, I have done my best for you. Don't think that I don't know what you have done."
These words scared her greatly. Unfortunately, Jin Yuyan had done so many things over the years that when Hongli talked about it, she couldn't guess which one had revealed the secret. Naturally, she became even more afraid and had to stagger to her feet.
Wei Yanwan lowered her head and smiled, and saw a string of eight-treasure beads suddenly fall out of the sleeve pocket of Jin Yuyan's right hand as she was holding the stool.
In an instant, you could hear a pin drop in the Yangxin Palace.
Jin Yuyan did not react, or perhaps the series of experiences today had completely broken the taut string in her brain.
"What's this?"
Li Yu moved very quickly and picked it up before Jin Yuyan could bend down with her belly bulging. When he saw what it was, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he quickly held it in his hands and handed it to the emperor.
Hongli picked it up and looked at the agate stone carefully, then picked up the string in the box, and then unfolded the love letter folded into a square, and actually laughed out of anger.
"I have a talent like you in my harem, and I didn't even notice it for all these years. This shows that those who praise me as a wise and enlightened person are just empty-handed people."
"Jia Fei, how are you going to explain this to me?"
"This...what's wrong? I just heard that wearing an eight-treasure bracelet can accumulate merit, so I specially ordered someone to make one for the royal heir in my unborn child. I just got to wear it today."
Concubine Jia was worthy of being Concubine Jia. She came up with an excuse in such a short time that Hongli could not refute it for a while. However, looking at the emperor's expression, it was clear that he had probably already pinned the blame on the other party.
"I will send someone to investigate what happened. Concubine Jia's words and actions today were inappropriate. I will demote her to a noble lady. From now on, she is not allowed to leave Qixiang Palace, and no one except the imperial physician is allowed to visit her."
After saying that, he ignored Concubine Jia's crying and had her taken away.
"Your Majesty... no matter who did this, it is not worth your anger. Your health is the most important thing."
Seeing that Hongli seemed to be very concerned about this matter, Wei Yanwan hurriedly brought him tea and coaxed him into a good mood with some flattery before hurriedly leaving the Yangxin Palace.
Regardless of whether or not this matter was related to her, it was not a good thing to stay with her for long. After all, Hongli's feelings for Concubine Jia were more about the physical desires of a woman and a woman. So while he might not be too worried emotionally, his dignity was. I'm afraid he'll have to find someone in the harem to show off his prowess in the next few days.
Wei Yanwan was too lazy to deal with it, so she naturally knew to get away early. However, the two sisters, one of whom had deep feelings for the emperor, and the other wanted to have a son, so this period of time was a rare opportunity for them.
Wei Yanwan, who was calculating but not forgetting to plan some benefits for her younger sisters, was already thinking about how to give them a subtle reminder so that the benefits would not be wasted on outsiders.
While sons and daughters are still rare, have them.
Hiss… Now that I think about it, how about I give birth to twins, a boy and a girl? Wouldn't that be too much of an eyesore?
Wei Yanwan thought about it carefully and was actually quite tempted. However, such matters needed to be considered carefully. She decided to wait until the current situation was over and see how everyone reacted before making any plans.
On the second day, before everyone could get over the news that the Imperial Noble Concubine had snatched someone from the Noble Concubine, they learned that Concubine Jia had been demoted and put in solitary confinement, and the charge was still her indecent words and deeds.
The key point is that the imperial concubine was present at the time.
Hiss... This, this melon is really impressive.
Sensitive people only felt the dangerous atmosphere of impending storm in the palace, but after learning about this, Ruyi, who sat in a high position, could not help but feel some unspeakable emotions in her heart.
"The Emperor seems to... trust Yan Wan very much?"
