Concubine Song was dragged out and made to kneel.
The emperor came straight over after leaving court. When Concubine Song saw the emperor, she felt more aggrieved and cried even harder.
While she was crying, she secretly opened one eye to look at the emperor.
She didn't have time to take a look at the emperor last night, but now, looking at him from afar, she saw that the emperor had a dragon-like face and phoenix-like eyes. His bright yellow dragon robe made him look extremely tall, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of heroic spirit, and he looked dignified.
He walked in front of her and suddenly stretched out his hand. Concubine Song was stunned, and then she saw the emperor handing her a handkerchief.
His eyebrows were as gentle as jade, and his deep eyes looked at her intently. Concubine Song blushed all of a sudden.
"Have you been wronged?"
There seemed to be a hint of heartache in his tone.
If Concubine Song originally felt only eight points of grievance, then with his care for her, her grievance suddenly became twelve points.
"Your Majesty, the Empress said I was late today and punished me to kneel outside the door. I didn't mean to do it. I never knelt on the ground for such a long time when I was at home. It hurts so much. Your Majesty, can you please plead for me?"
She said this through sobs.
The pain in the emperor's eyes became more obvious. "The Queen did go too far today. You are still her sister. How about this, you come with me."
Concubine Song quickly stood up.
Seeing the emperor and Concubine Song walking over together, the queen stared at the emperor in amazement.
The emperor explained, "Aluan, some things don't need to be taken so seriously."
"Your Majesty." The queen felt unbelievable. The person she wanted to punish in public, but the emperor wanted to keep him alive. What was he doing? Was he slapping her in the face in public?
The emperor said, "Song Jieyu is frail. She will probably get sick if she kneels like this. I know A Luan is selfless, so just treat it as me being partial."
He explained to her in a good-tempered manner, but Queen Song did not hear it that way.
All she could hear was the emperor's words, "Song Jieyu is delicate."
"Your Majesty, are you feeling sorry for Concubine Song?" Queen Song said with a smile, but the smile was forced.
The emperor said, "She didn't do anything wrong in the first place."
"So it was my fault?" the queen asked.
"That's not what I meant." The emperor seemed to have not expected the queen to react like this. "It's right for the queen to punish the concubine who violated the palace rules. It's just that I know the queen loves my younger sister, so..."
"She made a mistake and deserves to be punished. It's just kneeling. I don't feel sorry for her." The Queen said aggressively, "Song Jieyu, go out and kneel."
"Your Majesty." Concubine Song looked at the emperor with grievance, "My knees are almost rubbed raw."
She also hated Queen Song completely in her heart. She originally had fantasies about her sister, but she didn't expect that her sister was really jealous of her.
The emperor said helplessly: "I have already spoken, why are you..."
The queen looked straight at the emperor.
The emperor said, "When did you become so cruel that you even spared your own sister?"
The Queen's face paled for a moment. "Your Majesty, do you think of me like this?"
"No, you weren't like this before." The emperor said, "Never mind. The Queen has the final say on matters concerning the harem. Since the Queen wants this, I will not refuse her."
He waved his hand, feeling bored, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The queen's face became paler and paler, almost bloodless, but this time the emperor did not notice her abnormality and comfort her as he did before.
The queen forced herself to deal with all the concubines, then slumped down in her chair, murmuring, "How could the emperor do this to me?"
Nanny Song naturally knew what the Queen was sad about, but she thought it was better this way, so that the Queen would not fall deeper into the Emperor's trap. So she did not comfort the Queen, but said: "Queen, you have indeed gone too far today. You have not only hurt Concubine Song's reputation, but also the Song family's reputation."
"And the Emperor..."
"Men are like this. The weaker they are, the more pitiful they are. The Queen punished Concubine Song for a trivial matter, so the Emperor naturally felt pity for her."
"After all, the emperor just doesn't like you that much."
However, Queen Song could only hear Nanny Song's words, "The weaker one is, the more pitiful he is."
So the emperor just felt sorry for Concubine Song.
They have been married for three years, and during these three years, the emperor stayed at her place almost every night. How could such feelings be fake?
Moreover, the emperor went to Concubine Song only because she was his sister.
Thinking of this, Queen Song felt a little better.
She thought about what the emperor said today, and also wanted to talk to someone about softening his attitude in the evening, but she didn't expect that the emperor would turn over Song Xi's card again in the evening.
The Queen wanted to tear Song Xi to pieces. She seemed to be able to imagine Song Xi's arrogant look tomorrow, and the expressions of Concubine De and Concubine Shu as they were waiting for the show.
At this time, Jiang Yi came to ask for a meeting.
The Queen thought she had misheard and asked, "Isn't she dead?"
Nanny Song hadn't expected this either: "The people who served Jiang Baolin said that she almost died that night, but she actually came back to life."
"Since he's alive, let's kill him again." The Queen said calmly, then suddenly changed the subject, "Bring him here to me."
Jiang Yi was brought before the queen. Her face was pale and her voice was nasal.
