Chapter 030: The King's Heart is Hard to Predict

Yang Junyi's ears started buzzing again.

Cursing secretly in his heart, Yang Junyi waved his hand and left with Concubine Ying and the group.

Rong Fei, who was following behind Yang Junyi, looked at the resolute figure in front of her and suddenly felt mixed emotions.

Concubine Rong was also someone he favored for so many years, so why did he make such a decisive move this time? He openly said that he was seeking justice for Concubine Rong, but in front of everyone, he replaced her people and searched her palace. Doesn't this clearly tell everyone that Concubine Rong has lost his favor?

By the time Concubine Rong wakes up, I'm afraid she will have a hard time taking care of herself during the confinement period.

She originally thought that the best outcome of today's incident would be that Concubine Rong would have a miscarriage, and nothing else. This would leave Concubine Rong silent and suffer a great loss, but she never expected that all of Concubine Rong's people would be replaced.

Rong Fei suffered too much loss, and she felt uneasy. If such a heartless emperor treated her like this one day...

She shook her head in self-mockery. As long as she was obedient and didn't do anything out of line, the emperor would still give her a life of glory despite her family background which had no influence at all.

"Ying"

"Your Majesty," Concubine Ying hurriedly forced a smile.

Yang Junyi looked at her, "Do you want to know who the woman Prince Lu brought with him is?"

Concubine Ying shook her head in confusion.

"She is Concubine Rong's concubine sister."

Concubine Ying was a little surprised. "Just now, I was a little suspicious, wondering if it was Prince Lu who ordered this. I was afraid that someone would say something he shouldn't say after being taken to the Ministry of Punishment. If it was Concubine Rong's concubine sister, she would not have drugged Concubine Rong."

"What if it was Concubine Rong's order?"

Princess Ying:......

Concubine Ying: "Your Majesty is so mean. He is trying to trick me again. How could Sister Rong be so stupid? If she takes this abortion pill, not only will she lose the baby, she will also be at risk. Unless Sister Rong is crazy."

Emperor: "What if I tell you that I haven't really touched her in the past six months, and even if I did, I never released myself?"

Concubine Ying couldn't help but clench her clothes tightly with her hands.

Yang Junyi suddenly came over and tucked Concubine Ying's scattered hair behind her ears, "Then my beloved concubine, if it were you, would you dare to keep this child?"

A bead of sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead onto Yang Junyi's hand.

"I deserve to die." Concubine Ying hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it.

"You shouldn't die, she should die!"

Xia Xue and Chu Zhenxuan, who were having dinner here, also felt that the emperor's punishment was too severe.

"Empress Rong suffered such a great loss, and was put under surveillance." Xia Xue curled her lips, "This time, I really experienced what it means to be with the emperor like being with a tiger."

"Now Li Jiaming is getting very close to Prince Lu's palace. The emperor must be trying to warn him." Chu Zhenxuan took a bite of lettuce.

"My husband, is it possible that the child Concubine Rong is carrying is not the emperor's?"

Chu Zhenxuan's eyes darkened, "Don't you ever say that again!"

Of course I won't tell anyone, I'm just testing you!

But judging from the way you look, Concubine Rong's child is probably not yours.

Isn’t it?

Chu Zhenxuan:!!!

Chu Zhenxuan suddenly felt a headache. What was this little woman thinking? How could he have an affair with Rong Fei!!!

Chu Zhenxuan: +40+40+40.

How can you get any points if you scold Concubine Rong? You must be hiding something from her!

Concubine Rong is a person who cannot stand loneliness, so it is normal that the child is not the emperor's. This explains why she has to take abortion pills herself.

If the child is born, we will do a blood test to confirm our relationship.

Tsk tsk.

There is no Li family in our Da'an Kingdom anymore.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Zhenxuan.

So whose child is Concubine Rong’s?

Anyway, it could be anyone, maybe even Concubine Rong herself doesn't know.

Chu Zhenxuan sighed and rubbed Xia Xue's head, "Don't run around these few days."

After saying that, he put on his gown, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped, "And let Fu Yuqing hide well."

Xia Xue: ...

Xia Xue: So you knew it.

Fu Yuqing was frightened by the situation. She wore a veil every day and never left the garden again.

If she was really caught on the spot that day and charged with the crime of murdering the royal heir, her head might be severed.

The Ministry of Punishment had not found out the cause of the case for the emperor after three days, so the emperor extended the deadline to seven days.

Seven days later, it was said that a young eunuch was found in Concubine Rong's garden. He hated Concubine Rong for secretly dealing with his old lover, so he held a grudge against her and drugged Concubine Rong.

The medicine bottle is just a bottle full of shit. No wonder the Ministry of Punishment couldn't find anything.

After the young eunuch confessed, he committed suicide.

Since he could commit suicide in the Ministry of Punishment, everyone understood what happened.

The emperor tacitly found a scapegoat.

For example, Concubine Rong's secret execution of a servant was nothing compared to the fact that she lost the prince, so no one mentioned the little eunuch and the little palace maid who died unjustly.

The summer in Qingliang Mountain is indeed comfortable. It is already the hottest time of the year, but we don’t feel the heat at all. Not only do we save on ice, but we also feel very comfortable.

The garden in summer snow is especially nice, as it is close to the waterfall, and the fresh air with moisture in it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Xia Xue simply built a tea table next to the waterfall, enjoying the beautiful scenery while sipping tea, having a great time.

"Sister, Concubine Ying has sent someone to deliver something again." Xia Lu picked up a basket and put it on the tea table.

One serving of glutinous rice balls, one serving of matcha pastry, and one serving of mung bean cake.

"Thank you for your concern, Xia Lu. Go and get my set of eight-treasure chicken-heart-shaped pearls and jadeite for you."

"Sister, that set of jewelry is very expensive."

"Is the favor of Concubine Ying valuable?"

Xia Lu shook her head.

"If you are in the palace, you must be generous. Whether it is the master or the servant, the gifts you give must match their status."

Xia Lu nodded, not quite understanding.

"You must remember that the thing the Xia family lacks the least is money."

Xia Lu's eyes lit up and she suddenly understood.

If her sister could enter the palace, the emperor who had vowed not to appoint another empress would probably make an exception.

Xia Lu was delivered to Concubine Ying, who was very happy and sent her personal maid to escort Xia Lu to the door.

Concubine Ying was naturally very satisfied with Xia Xue.

He is so generous that even I, who have always been pampered, feel ashamed of myself.

This is the difference between having family blessing and not having family blessing.

Xia Lu, who was going out, was thinking about what Xia Xue said to her today.

Suddenly, Xia Lu bumped into a broad chest.

Xia Lu quickly stepped back, covered her hit nose, and looked up.

A man dressed in black, whose heroic look could not be concealed at all, stood in front of her.

Most importantly, his eyes are still bronze.

Xia Lu lowered her head, a blush appearing on the corners of her eyebrows.

Yang Junyi looked at the shy little woman in front of him and suddenly felt like laughing.

"You don't know me?"

Xia Lu shook her head. "Should I know you?"

Yang Junyi laughed. It was rare to see her true nature in front of him, and suddenly he wanted to tease her.

"I am the emperor's younger brother, so you should know me."

When Xia Lu heard this, her eyes widened and she quickly leaned forward, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have offended you."

"My servant? Whose family are you from?"

"I am..." Xia Lu suddenly remembered Xia Xue's warning to be wary of strangers, "I am Miss Chen."

Before leaving, Xia Xue discussed with her that the youngest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Chen, was well-educated and looked pretty good, and it seemed that she was going to be sent to the palace.

Yang Junyi understood that the ministers he brought with him this time were all going to send their daughters to the palace next year.

Suddenly I felt that she would be my woman sooner or later, and I lost interest all of a sudden.

"It's getting late, let's go back early."

Xia Lu was stunned. She was so gentle just now, but her expression suddenly changed. The people in the royal family are really June-like.

Xia Lu pulled up a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, turned around, and disappeared into the twilight.

Looking at her back, Yang Junyi frowned. Why do these eyebrows and eyes look a little familiar?
