Chapter 1335 The Concubine Should Not Be a Big Enemy (10)
In an instant, there was dead silence outside. Even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. No one dared to believe their ears. What did that person just say?
The emperor lost his expression, as if he had no idea what the eunuch said.
After a while, a clever concubine finally realized the storm in the sky, but she didn't want to miss such an opportunity to bring Wen Congyun to an irretrievable end. Not to mention that Wen Congyun's unfavored status would not hinder her at all. As long as Wen Congyun was still the emperor's concubine, they were destined to be enemies, so the fewer enemies the better.
So the concubine pretended to be frightened and shouted back at the eunuch: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wen Zhaorong is your majesty's concubine, and your majesty is still out here. How could there be a man in Wen Zhaorong's bed?"
How could she be explaining for Wen Congyun? It was more like adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the emperor finally realized something. The expression on his face twisted instantly, and his eyes widened with anger and bloodshot. If Wen Congyun was in front of him at this moment, he would strangle her to death.
The emperor walked towards Wen Congyun's bedroom angrily without saying a word. The other concubines looked at each other, and instantly understood each other, and followed the emperor in.
Wen Congyun's bedroom was located at the innermost part of Fangyun Palace, and the fire started at the entrance of Fangyun Palace. Everyone put out the fire in time, so the fire only burned to the outside of Wen Congyun's bedroom and was put out. So except for being smoked by the smoke from outside, Wen Congyun's bedroom was intact, and everything inside could be seen clearly.
When the emperor saw with his own eyes that Wen Congyun was tightly entangled with a strange man, and her body was still naked, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. Fortunately, his body was still in good condition and he managed to hold on even after such a great stimulation.
His eyes were wide open, staring at the naked man and woman on the bed, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and the eunuch's arm was almost broken by his hand, but the eunuch did not dare to make a sound at this time and had to endure the pain.
"Ah! Wen Zhaorong... How dare she betray His Majesty!" The clever concubine exclaimed in a low voice. Seeing this rare scene in a century, the other concubines also covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, not knowing whether they were afraid of exclaiming out loud or afraid of being seen smiling.
"Someone come! Throw water on this pair of bastards to wake them up!" the emperor ordered with gritted teeth.
Soon, a guard came in with a basin of cold water and poured it heavily on the two people on the bed.
The smoke that Lu Shichu used was not very powerful, so after pouring the basin of cold water, Wen Congyun and Fang Zheng woke up slowly.
Wen Congyun had just woken up and hadn't realized what had happened yet when she saw the emperor standing beside her bed with a face as black as coal. She smiled reflexively and said, "Your Majesty, you came to see me?"
When the emperor saw that she could actually laugh, he was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his head. He slapped Wen Congyun hard on the face and cursed: "Wen! How dare you laugh at me?"
Wen Congyun was finally awakened by a slap from the emperor. When she realized her current situation, she screamed in panic and wished she could faint immediately so that she wouldn't have to face the current situation. She knew she was finished.
Fang Zheng also realized that he and Wen Congyun were caught in bed together. He panicked, but he loved Wen Congyun the most. So he immediately took responsibility to protect Wen Congyun behind him. He stared at the emperor and said, "I forced Congyun. She was forced and did not betray you."
"Bah! Do you think I'm a fool?!" The emperor was so angry that he didn't even call himself "I". He pointed at Fang Zheng and ordered the guards, "Break his legs for me!"
The guards immediately rushed forward. Fang Zheng already felt resentful towards the emperor for taking away his beloved and not cherishing her. When he saw that he was about to be caught, he immediately resisted.
However, although he was good at martial arts, anyone who could enter the palace as a guard could not be bad at martial arts, not to mention that they were outnumbered. So soon, Fang Zheng was caught by the guards and his two legs were severely broken.
Fang Zheng's screams made Wen Congyun tremble all over, but she was now in danger and it was impossible for her to plead for Fang Zheng, so she had to pretend not to hear it.
"Mrs. Wen, do you have anything to say to me?" the emperor asked Wen Congyun through gritted teeth.
Even though Wen Congyun was usually very scheming and calculating, she still panicked when she was caught in bed with a woman, because she couldn't escape no matter how she looked at it.
But she was quick-witted, because she didn't want to die, so she rushed forward in a panic and hugged the emperor's legs, raised her little face and cried in panic, saying: "Your Majesty! I don't know anything, I fell asleep last night, and I looked like this when I woke up! Your Majesty, you have to believe me, I must have been framed..."
Wen Congyun cried and defended herself to the emperor. Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face. She looked so pitiful, as if she had really been framed. However, no matter how she denied and defended herself, the emperor did not believe her. Men hate being cuckolded the most, especially a man like the emperor who had a strong self-esteem and was his unquestionable will. He witnessed his woman betraying him and getting involved with other men. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Wen Congyun alive.
"Wen, do you also think I'm a fool?" The emperor laughed in anger, pinched Wen Congyun's cheek, and said fiercely, "Dare to betray me, I will never let you off easily..."
Wen Congyun was so frightened that her whole body was cold, but she still had to cry and deny and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, I really did not betray you. It was that person who harmed me. I am innocent..."
"Your Majesty, since Wen Zhaorong is crying out for injustice, why not investigate it first? If she is really wronged, it will be bad. If she is not wronged, then Wen Zhaorong will have nothing to say." The imperial concubine said softly to the emperor, "I remember that the maids serving Wen Zhaorong were brought by her from her mother's home. They should know everything about her. Why don't you have someone interrogate her two maids?"
"Okay, go and interrogate her two maids! If they refuse to confess, beat them to death!" The emperor said coldly, staring at Wen Congyun.
When Wen Congyun heard that her personal maids were going to be interrogated, she felt completely paralyzed, because her two maids knew everything about her and Fang Zheng.
She regretted keeping these two maids, regretted not getting rid of the traces of her childhood sweetheart early on. She knew that the situation was hopeless, and she collapsed on the bed with a dead heart.
The other concubines were all happy to see her desperate look. To them, the best thing would be for Wen Congyun to never be able to get up again.
