Chapter 186 Has the Emperor Ever Liked Me?
Xu Lanshan smiled and shook her head, "No need."
There's no way to ask that.
This isn't simply a matter of communication or not. The Emperor must have been furious and regretful for not being able to protect his childhood sweetheart. This is a scar. How brave is Xu Lanshan? How dare she poke at his scar?
If he were to ask this question, wouldn't he be furious and embarrassed?
Besides, she also felt something was strange and couldn't bring herself to ask.
Let's just let it go and wait until Miss Du comes back...
Dong Zhi quickly concluded the case. Emperor Yuan Yong flipped through the pages. Dong Zhi knelt before him and spoke carefully, one sentence at a time...
Emperor Yuan Yong’s expression became increasingly ugly!
"Bang!" He slammed his palm down on the imperial desk, his face livid. "Fine, fine, I've been too indulgent with them! For all the things that have happened in the palace, I've always thought they were just women being petty, jealous, and petty. Even if they occasionally go too far, I'll just give them a warning, a warning, and a punishment to teach them a lesson! I thought they were nothing more than these petty quarrels. Because of this, I've turned a blind eye to many things and just touched on them, never really getting to the bottom of them. That's human nature!"
In the end, how many people could withstand the investigation? How many people were completely innocent and without any problems? Moreover, the former dynasty and the harem have always been intricately connected, so he had to consider the families behind them.
Besides, most of the things they did were just to get more favor from others, and there was nothing wrong with their starting point.
He thought they were all small, controllable things, and he thought small things were no big deal.
But he never expected that each of them was more cruel and ruthless than the other, with a hideous look!
Fu and Concubine Yu, when Emperor Yuan Yong thought of such vicious and ferocious women as poisonous snakes appearing in his harem, he could hardly control his anger and disgust!
He can't tolerate it!
"Go to Baohe Palace!"
Ever since the trip to Lianyi Palace, no one in Baohe Palace was allowed to enter or leave for the past two days, which was almost the same as the previous Yuming Palace.
Everyone in Baohe Palace was in a panic. The palace maids and eunuchs had no intention of working, but Concubine Yu was very leisurely and didn't take any of this seriously.
Why rush? What's coming won't go away.
She didn't expect the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation.
She had thought that once the matter fell to Fu, everything would be over! That idiot Fu, hadn't he done enough stupid things over the years? It wasn't surprising that she would be so provoked and do something like that.
But this time the emperor decided to conduct a thorough investigation!
When the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, she began to suffer from sleepless nights. She never dared to underestimate him.
In this palace, if he wants to find out something, how could he not find it?
After all, the palace is such a small place with so many people. How many things can happen without leaving any clues?
Even if there wasn't any, if he became suspicious and arrested someone and tortured them, no one would be able to withstand it!
"The Emperor has arrived—"
The maids and eunuchs in Baohe Palace hurriedly bowed, offering their respects. Everyone was delighted: The Emperor had come to see the Empress! What did this mean? It meant that the Empress must be fine! Otherwise, why would the Emperor come? A false alarm, a good thing...
Concubine Yu adjusted the Zhai Feng pearl hairpin on her temples and smiled coquettishly. This day had finally come!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Emperor Yuan Yong sat down on his golden horse and said coldly, "All the outsiders, get out!"
Aunt Fang, Bai Rong, Bai Rui and others were all shocked.
“Get out!”
“Yes, yes…”
Aunt Fang and the others didn't dare to stay and retreated with their heads down and trembling.
Emperor Yuan Yong stared at Concubine Yu who was still kneeling and saluted, "Kneel down!"
Concubine Yu obediently lowered her knees and knelt down, slowly looking up at him: "Your Majesty!"
The woman in front of him had obviously been dressed up specially. She wore an orange-red flowered satin palace dress with hundreds of butterflies embroidered on it. The layers of embroidery were intricate and gorgeous, and the colors were brilliant. Holding the beautiful woman with fair skin, he did not overshadow the other woman. Instead, he made the other woman look even more graceful, elegant, and dazzling.
Concubine Yu is indeed a beauty, and an extremely outstanding beauty.
Not to mention that in the past two days, she would dress up carefully every day and wait, waiting for the emperor's arrival and waiting for her own result.
Because she didn't know when he would come.
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at the beauty with an expressionless face, and the expression on his handsome face was even more gloomy and cold.
Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly grabbed the wooden box from Dong Zhi's hand and threw it fiercely in front of Concubine Yu. He said coldly, "This is what Dong Zhi found out. Concubine Yu, do you want to take a look?"
Concubine Yu's eyes welled up, and she almost cried. Her face was pale, and she forced herself not to lose her composure in front of him. She chuckled softly and said softly, "Your Majesty's ability is something I have always admired. I don't even need to read what your confidants have found out to know that it must be reasonable. I don't need to waste my time reading it anymore!"
"You are quite self-aware!" Emperor Yuan Yong sneered. "I never thought that the most hidden person in this palace was you. I never thought that the concubine I have doted on for so many years would be such a vicious woman with a heart as poisonous as a scorpion! Concubine Yu, what else do you have to say?"
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, after being cursed so harshly by Emperor Yuan Yong, Concubine Yu's face still turned paler and paler, and her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife.
In the end...she couldn't bear it anymore!
"Has Your Majesty ever truly loved me?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was stunned, his eyes were puzzled and bewildered for a moment, and he had no idea what Concubine Yu meant by asking this question at this time.
Concubine Yu smiled bitterly.
It turns out she never got anything!
The Emperor must have thought she was crazy, asking him such a ridiculous question!
"The Emperor once doted on me, and I was envied by everyone in the palace. I thought the Emperor had some fondness for me. But it turns out... I was overthinking it!"
Emperor Yuan Yong frowned, somewhat impatiently and coldly said, "Stop rambling on. You know exactly what you did. Don't expect me to forgive you out of old friendship!"
Concubine Yu felt bitter in her heart, "I dare not. How can I have such a big face in front of the emperor? I really want to know whether I am worth anything in the emperor's heart!"
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her coldly and did not answer.
Concubine Yu said sadly, "So, does the Emperor like Concubine Chen?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was stunned, moved his lips, and resisted the urge to answer her boring question.
But he had already given the answer subconsciously in his heart: Of course he likes it.
