Chapter 63: Your Majesty, will you help me get rid of her?
Pei Yan was just looking at her leisurely.
Jiang Shuyi quickly explained: "I have never hit her at home!"
Jiang Wanqing looked at Jiang Shuyi timidly, kowtowed and cried, shaking all over, "Yes, sister has never hit me, I was just talking nonsense. Your Majesty, please don't blame sister, otherwise I won't be able to survive in the palace..."
Jiang Shuyi was so angry that her head was buzzing. In her previous life, Jiang Wanqing used this trick to pretend to be pitiful to her, but in this life, she used it to trick her: "Why are you pretending! Don't you just want His Majesty to misunderstand that I hit you? Do you think His Majesty can't see it?"
Jiang Wanqing shrank back and said, "Sister, I didn't. Sister, I don't dare. Sister asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deduct my food. I didn't dare to tell His Majesty, so how could I dare to sue like this? I was just too scared just now and said something wrong..."
Jiang Shuyi pointed a trembling finger at her: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Pei Yan felt that if this continued, Jiang Shuyi would be pissed off, so he finally called out, "Jiang Shuyi, come back."
Jiang Shuyi turned back quickly, fearing that Pei Yan believed it. After all, she was the one who embezzled the money, and it would be confirmed once it was checked.
Pei Yan's expression showed nothing. Jiang Shuyi hurried back to him, pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, don't believe her!"
Pei Yan looked at her face, which had turned red with anger. He could not help but sigh softly, and tapped her forehead with his finger without force. His voice was full of indulgence: "If I didn't love you so much, you would probably be wrongly accused to death today."
Jiang Shuyi's fluctuating emotions calmed down during this intimate action.
Then she felt aggrieved.
She came out to stroll around the Imperial Garden for no reason, but ended up getting disrupted, and her most domineering side was seen by Pei Yan himself.
Pei Yan saw the sadness in her eyes and calmly turned his gaze to Jiang Wanqing.
Jiang Wanqing was stunned by the intimacy between her sister and His Majesty, not knowing why this happened.
Isn’t Your Majesty a benevolent monarch?
The elder sister bullies her own younger sister. Shouldn't Your Majesty be disappointed in the elder sister and then comfort her?
Meeting His Majesty's cold gaze, Jiang Wanqing really shuddered in her heart this time, and had a bad premonition.
"Jiang Fei is your biological sister."
Jiang Wanqing didn't know whether His Majesty was asking her, but she quickly responded, "Yes, Concubine Jiang and I are from the same mother!"
Pei Yan: "Princess Jiang treats the concubines she is friendly with with all her heart and soul. You said she beat you at home and withheld your food in the palace. What did you do to make her do this to her sister who is born of the same mother?"
Jiang Wanqing was stunned.
Why does Your Majesty and the Queen both use the same argument to find fault with her, the person who was wronged?
Jiang Shuyi relied on Pei Yan's power and pressed him, "Yes, everything has its reasons. Tell me why I treated you like that!"
Pei Yan squeezed her hand and said softly, "Behave yourself."
Jiang Shuyi then restrained her aura, but still looked at Jiang Wanqing provocatively.
Jiang Wanqing clenched her fingers in anger and said weakly: "I don't know what I did wrong, my sister..."
"An elder sister is like a mother." Pei Yan interrupted her: "Don't say that Concubine Jiang did nothing wrong. Even if she did something wrong, anyone can report it to me, but you are not allowed to do so."
Jiang Wanqing didn't understand what was going on and wanted to argue again, but Pei Yan had already ordered: "Cheng Shouzhong, go to Xianfu Palace and tell Concubine Shu that she didn't listen to a word I asked her to restrain Concubine Jiang. In this case, send the eldest prince to Wenhua Palace and let her reflect on her mistakes for a month."
Cheng Shouzhong responded immediately, glanced at Jiang Wanqing, and asked respectfully, "How should we deal with Jiang Chang?"
Pei Yan's face darkened slightly, and his tone was full of the majesty of an emperor: "For slandering Concubine Jiang and attempting to deceive the emperor, you are demoted to a concubine. Since the position of the master of Xianfu Palace is to reflect on your mistakes, you will be moved to Concubine Wu's Yonghe Palace. Tell Concubine Wu that if you can't control Concubine Jiang, the fate of Concubine Shu will be an example."
Cheng Shouzhong agreed respectfully, thinking in his heart that Jiang Da Ying was in big trouble.
Compared with the gentle and good-tempered Concubine Shu, Concubine Wu's temperament is much more difficult to get along with. His Majesty has sent such bad luck to her for no reason. It would be strange if she didn't take it out on Jiang Da Ying.
Jiang Wanqing had obviously thought of this as well. Her face turned pale and she knelt dejectedly on the ground.
She understood that His Majesty was only protecting her sister and didn't listen to her grievances at all...
Jiang Shuyi felt so happy in her heart, and just as she was about to go up and make a few sarcastic remarks, Pei Yan pulled her hand and walked forward.
She was so happy that she kept squeezing Pei Yan's hand to please him, and her eyes were glued to his face.
Pei Yan had no choice but to stop in front of the pavilion, lowered his eyes and asked her: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Shuyi looked up at him with bright eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for supporting me!"
Pei Yan's expression was calm: "You are a concubine, and she is just a maid. The fact that you are so angry with her that you need me to back you up is because I have not taught you well enough."
Jiang Shuyi pulled his hand and snorted, "Don't blame me for being useless, it's because her words were too irritating. She had evil intentions written all over her face, but she pretended to be innocent and pitiful, which made me so angry that I felt short of breath."
Pei Yan: "She is of low rank and her words are not taken seriously. If you don't want to, you will do what I did just now, leaving her without even a chance to speak. In the end, it is because you cherished the sisterhood and did not treat her with the same authority you used to treat Qingpin before, that is why you are being treated like this today."
Jiang Shuyi was a little dazed.
She thought back to everything that had happened since Jiang Wanqing entered the palace, and suddenly felt that Pei Yan seemed to understand her better than she did herself.
She said that she wanted to kill Jiang Wanqing, but whether it was the warning on the day the rookie entered the palace, or the subsequent test with the tourmaline hairpin, she was giving Jiang Wanqing opportunities.
Even now that he knew Jiang Wanqing was hopeless, he did not choose to get rid of her immediately.
How could this be possible?
Jiang Shuyi has never been an indecisive person. In her previous life, if she didn't like someone, she would act decisively. Why is she so cowardly in this life? She looked at Pei Yan, suddenly feeling a little sad, and threw herself into his arms.
Pei Yan sensed that she was in a low mood, and asked with his head down, "Did I say something too harsh and make you feel uncomfortable?"
Jiang Shuyi shook her head.
Pei Yan: "That's for your sister?"
Jiang Shuyi nodded.
Pei Yan lifted her chin and looked at her pitiful face. He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you want her to live or die?"
Jiang Shuyi shuddered and looked around subconsciously, then she realized that Pei Yan was the most powerful person in the palace, so it would be okay if others heard what she said.
She stammered, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Pei Yan's lips curled slightly, his face was as gentle as ever, and his voice was also low and gentle: "What do you think I mean?"
Jiang Shuyi swallowed and tried: "If I say I want Jiang Chang... no, if Jiang Cheng agrees to die, will Your Majesty help me get rid of her?"
Pei Yan imitated her and asked back: "If I said yes, would you think I am incompetent and inhumane?"
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a light shadow, and Jiang Shuyi couldn't see his expression clearly for a moment.
