Rong Da Ying widened her eyes, trembling at the thought of the Imperial Concubine's temper: "Your Majesty, please investigate. I really didn't know what tripped me and fell. Someone must be trying to frame me."
Rong Daren was not stupid. It was obvious that Concubine Jiang wanted to distance herself from her. Both Concubine An and Concubine Jiang were very close to her just now.
It must be one of them who tripped her. Rong Cheng looked at Concubine Jiang and Concubine An with suspicion.
Rong Da Ying has the lowest rank among the three, but that's only because she has been in the palace the shortest.
Because of her family background, she was not afraid at all when facing Concubine An and Noble Lady Jiang.
Anpin quickly began to explain and tried to distance herself from the matter.
Xu Jinyi snorted coldly: "I wanted to give you a chance to confess, but Concubine Jiang seems to be unwilling to give up!"
"In that case, come, drag Concubine Jiang and me away, give them twenty lashes of the cane, and ten slaps on the face."
Jiang Yan's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, please check carefully. I really did not do this." But she was secretly worried, wondering why the emperor hadn't come to rescue her yet.
"What I saw with my own eyes is false. Look at your shoes. Is the evidence still there?"
Concubine Jiang was shocked and turned to look at her shoes. When she found that there was nothing wrong with them, she realized that she had been cheated.
At this time, the guards had already come to her side. Jiang Yan shouted, "No, Your Majesty, you can't do this. How can you torture someone without evidence?"
Xu Jinyi raised her delicate chin and said, "I am the evidence. You are just a small noble, and I will beat you if I want."
"Get started."
Xu Jinyi knew that the Dog Emperor was on his way, but she didn't know how he felt when he came in and saw the woman he loved being beaten.
She is really looking forward to it!
When the emperor heard his lover's screams from afar, he rushed over with heartache and anxiety.
What caught my eye was the scene of Jiang Yan being beaten with a stick on a bench with her lips swollen and red.
He was furious and yelled, "Stop, everyone stop! Who told you to do this?!"
The emperor was furious. Looking at his lover with tears in her eyes and looking aggrieved, he felt extremely heartbroken and yelled at the guards.
"I'm going to fight you. Your Majesty, are you feeling sorry for him?"
The emperor was startled and his expression suddenly changed.
He retracted his hand that was about to help Concubine Jiang, turned to look at Xu Jinyi, and then widened his eyes.
His eyes fell on Xu Jinyi's stunning face, and his whole body froze.
The bright sun shone on her, and her whole body seemed to be emitting dazzling light.
The whole person is bright and eye-catching.
Is this the imperial concubine he hates? !
After all, he is a man, and it is inevitable that he will be stunned when he sees Xu Jinyi's appearance.
Xu Jinyi pinched his hand under his sleeve, looking at the murderer who killed their Xu family in the previous life, and wished he could kill him.
She could not blame him for liking someone else, but she could not forgive him for stepping on the blood of their Xu family to get everything and killing them one by one.
What on earth did she see in such a cowardly and incompetent emperor?
He loves Jiang Yan but has to be secretive and doesn't even dare to show his affection to her openly.
Being an emperor like him is really pathetic!
Xu Jinyi's face was cold, and his voice became cold: "Your Majesty hurried here, isn't it because of Concubine Jiang?"
Xu Jinyi looked back and forth between the two of them, as if trying to find out something.
The emperor was startled and quickly explained, "Of course I came here to care about the imperial concubine. Concubine Jiang is not an important person. How could I come here just for her?"
Afraid that Xu Jinyi might notice something, he quickly stood beside Xu Jinyi and looked at Jiang Yan with deep guilt in his eyes.
Although she knew that the emperor was acting, Jiang Yan still felt aggrieved at this moment.
What is the imperial concubine? Who is she? It is obvious that she is the emperor's favorite person, and she is the one who is in love with the emperor every day.
But all this could not be made public, and no one in the harem knew that she was favored.
Xu Jinyi smiled when he saw Jiang Yan's expression.
The beautiful little face and charming eyes made the emperor dazzled again.
Xu Jinyi said coldly: "If that's the case, why don't you continue fighting!"
Jiang Yan widened his eyes and looked at the emperor for help.
Rong Da Ying saw this and said, "Your Majesty, look at Concubine Jiang looking at Your Majesty with a weak and aggrieved look. Is she trying to attract the Emperor's attention and compete for your favor?"
"This tearful look makes me feel a little distressed. Your Majesty will feel even more pity for her after seeing this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinyi immediately glared at Concubine Jiang: "Beat me! Give me another thirty lashes. You seduced His Majesty in front of me. When I'm not around, you're going to lie on His Majesty."
"You bitch, you look nice on weekdays, but you actually have such a vicious mind."
Watching the board falling on his beloved woman again and again, the emperor felt so heartbroken that his heart was bleeding.
Her lips trembled, and her breathing became a little unsteady: "Is that enough, Imperial Concubine? If you add another thirty boards, I'm afraid Imperial Concubine Jiang's body won't be able to bear it."
"What's the big deal if I beat this bitch to death? She's just the daughter of a small county magistrate. Could she be from some other background?"
"She attempted to murder the Imperial Concubine. I spared her life. This was a sign of my mercy, Your Majesty. Isn't that right?"
The emperor gasped heavily. In order to protect his beloved, he nodded with pain: "Concubine Jiang has evil intentions and deserves to be punished."
Looking at the emperor's expression, Xu Jinyi curled his lips sarcastically.
It must be painful to see the woman you hold so dearly in your hands getting hurt like this.
Concubine Jiang was knocked unconscious, but even so, Xu Jinyi did not stop with the remaining five strokes of the board.
Seeing the person being carried away, the emperor no longer wanted to stay. He wanted to go and see how badly his beloved was injured and comfort her.
How could Xu Jinyi let him have his wish? It would be fun to wait until Jiang Yan woke up and found that his lover didn't even come to visit him.
"Your Majesty, are you leaving now? Didn't you say you came to check on me? Why are you leaving before even coming in for a cup of tea?"
The emperor froze in his tracks, retracted his foot, and said awkwardly, "I wanted to go to the storehouse and give you some gifts, so that everyone knows my attitude towards you."
"Let's prevent such incidents from happening again. I am truly heartbroken that the Imperial Concubine was injured this time."
Xu Jinyi nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty should give more gifts to let those ugly women in the harem who don't know their own limitations understand the emperor's love for me."
"So that people like Concubine Jiang, who are as vicious as she is and want to harm me, will not be able to do anything more unscrupulous in the future."
"In my opinion, Your Majesty should not only reward you, but also reward you graciously. Didn't the vassal states pay tribute to you with many fine things a few days ago? Why not just give them all to me?"
