Listening to the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince singing the same tune, Jiang Ranli was confused. She glanced at Yinzhen secretly, only to see the latter looking at her with a smile.
I just know that he was the one who asked the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince to say those words.
Because Jiang Ranli was Yin'er's concubine, if he helped Jiang Ranli out of trouble, everyone would definitely think that he was shielding her, but if the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince spoke up, things would be different.
However, although the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince tried their best to speak up for Jiang Ranli, the Queen Mother still looked angry.
"Even though the ninth concubine did a lot for the Shandong disaster, she not only opened a brothel, but also a casino. I heard that the ninth brother's concubine is quite extraordinary. She often leads people to fight with each other. People say that she is more decisive and powerful than men." A voice sounded indifferent, but with obvious provocative meaning.
Hearing that voice, Jiang Ranli's expression tightened slightly, and his delicate brows furrowed.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the eldest prince looking at her with a gloomy expression.
As early as when she entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Jiang Ranli noticed the existence of the eldest prince, but the empress dowager was giving a lecture at that time, so she did not pay much attention to the eldest prince.
Seeing Jiang Ranli looking at him, a hint of viciousness flashed in the eldest prince's eyes.
Noticing the change in the expression in his eyes, Jiang Ranli curled the corners of his lips slightly, and a sneer appeared on his delicate face.
Jiang Ranli had no good impression of the eldest prince. If he had not interfered more than three years ago, those bad things would not have happened between her and Yinzhen.
Although she and Yinzhen were separated by nearly four years and she had a certain relationship with Yinzhen, the instigator of the whole thing was the eldest prince, and the bad things started because of the eldest prince.
Looking to kick someone when they're down? You're really calculating!
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Ranli turned to face Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager again.
"Your Majesty, listen to what she has done. She is the concubine of the Ninth Prince. Not only did she open a brothel, but she even got into fights with others. This is not what a concubine should do. What's the difference between her and those hooligans?" The empress dowager was already furious, and after hearing what the eldest prince said, her anger flared up again.
The corners of Emperor Kangxi's lips trembled. He never expected that Jiang Ranli not only opened a brothel, but also a gambling house. That would have been fine, but she even fought with others. Not to mention her status, this was not something a woman should do.
"What's going on?" Emperor Kangxi's voice became a little deeper. His already majestic face now made people feel even more pressured.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli quickly knelt on the ground.
When Dong E saw this scene, her heart was filled with joy. She felt that Jiang Ranli was doomed today.
Yinzhen sat upright, looked at the eldest prince with deep eyes, and then fell on Dong E, with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Jiang Ranli, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, listened to the whispers around him, cleared his throat silently and spoke, "What Prince Zhi said is true. I did open a casino and had fights with others."
Having said that, Jiang Ranli paused, glanced at the eldest prince, and then continued, "However, although I was fighting with others, it was not intentional. Those people came to my casino to make trouble. My brother was not there, so I had to go and deal with it. For those troublemakers, I mainly used persuasion, but not only did they not restrain themselves, they continued to speak rudely. I remember my identity. It doesn't matter if they make trouble, but it's not okay for them to insult me. Even if I have a thousand faults, I am still the concubine of the Ninth Master and a member of the royal family. I cannot lose face for the Ninth Master and the royal family in public. That's why I took action against those people."
