Chapter Ninety-One
Cai'er smiled sarcastically upon hearing the Emperor's words, "Didn't you tell the Emperor?"
They were indeed unable to speak to the Emperor in person.
After all, her mistress had become a discarded concubine in the cold palace, a place in the imperial palace where people were most likely to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak.
When the master was sent to the cold palace, those who used to surround him had long since scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared without a trace.
How easy was it for them to see the Emperor?
Besides, it is a fact that Consort Liu fell into the lotus pond, and many people saw the blood in the pond.
No one would think that Consort Liu would use her child to frame someone else.
Even their own master didn't understand why Liu Wan was targeting them like this.
Cai'er lowered her head and said nothing, but the Empress beside her knew what was going on.
Later, the Empress actually mentioned to Zhu Jingchen that Consort Liu went to the Cold Palace to vent her anger on Consort Jing.
What did Zhu Jingchen say at the time?
“Consort Liu just lost her child, and that child was caused by Consort Jing. Letting Consort Liu vent her anger is her own fault.”
Zhu Jingchen clenched his fists, clearly thinking of this as well.
"I will give Consort Jing an explanation for this matter. Empress, have the imperial physician come and give Consort Jing a proper treatment." Zhu Jingchen looked at the woman who was crying and laughing not far away, and felt a little uncomfortable. Back then, he did not demote Consort Jing because he still cared about their past relationship.
But I never expected that our reunion would be like this.
If so, then Consort Jing is truly innocent...
Zhu Jingbuchen was at a loss as to how to make up for the grievances that Consort Jing had suffered over the past few years.
"Yes!" The Empress looked at Consort Jing and sighed inwardly.
The inner palace is the place that most easily torments people. Consort Jing's entry into the Cold Palace further tested her character, not to mention Consort Liu's occasional visits for revenge.
Thinking of this, the Empress sighed.

Xu Heming's face darkened even more.
He hadn't thought of it at first, but then he thought that the Emperor might have kept him around, perhaps because he really thought that he had an affair with Consort Liu?
Before today, he didn't even know whether Consort Liu was a human or a ghost.
That damned Consort Liu, she wanted to die herself, why did she drag me down with her?
Surely His Majesty, being a wise ruler, wouldn't be unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood?
He thought of what Li Zhiwei had said to him.
Xu Heming was in a bad mood again.
The emperor is trying to harm him!
"His Majesty has arrived!" A shrill voice interrupted Xu Heming's thoughts.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!" Xu Heming bowed respectfully.
"Alright, stop with the formalities." Zhu Jingchen waved his hand impatiently.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today? You not only made me perform for you, but you also had all your concubines come to watch, and even invited my future princess and Lady Wei. As a result, my wife was almost killed by your concubines in the palace! Zhiwei has already misunderstood me. If my father-in-law finds out about this, do you think my marriage will still be possible?" Xu Heming didn't care what Zhu Jingchen thought and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
As for Liu Ruyan, he didn't even want to mention her name.
Zhu Jingchen choked, and the many questions he wanted to ask Xu Heming suddenly became unsure where to begin.
