Chapter 79 Concubine Lian was demoted
Of course Xu Lanshan dared to do so, and she cried all the way to Wan'an Hall.
She threw herself into Emperor Yuan Yong's arms and cried bitterly, while she cried and reported Concubine Lian.
Emperor Yuan Yong's face turned pale. He gently patted her to comfort her, and sneered as he ordered Dong Zhi, "Go and call Concubine Lian to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dong Zhi sighed secretly, thinking that with the speed and trickery of Concubine Lian seeking death, the Empress Dowager might not be able to protect her for much longer...
When the eunuch went to ask for her release, Concubine Lian had already returned to the Yingshui Lanxiang Pavilion. Upon hearing this, her eyebrows immediately arched and she gritted her teeth, "But that bitch Xu Lanshan went to complain to the Emperor? How dare she!"
The young eunuch was startled and hunched over without saying a word.
If he was not serving the emperor, he would probably be so scared that he would kneel down to Empress Lian.
Concubine Lian's temper is getting worse now...
Concubine Lian sneered, "I haven't even reported her yet, and she's the first to do so! I want to see what nonsense she spouts!"
Nanny Xi was completely confused and hurried to catch up, asking on the way: "Madam, what happened?"
Concubine Lian was so furious she had no idea where to vent. She had no intention of telling Aunt Xi, "You'll know when the time comes!"
Nanny Xi hurriedly asked Chunqi again.
Chunqi was very nervous because she didn't have Concubine Lian to rely on, and she spoke hurriedly with a stammer.
Nanny Xi was shocked when she heard this. It was too late for her to dissuade Concubine Lian.
We have arrived at Wan'an Hall.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
"Greetings? I'm not worthy of that!" Emperor Yuan Yong sneered and said coldly, "Who has the ability of you, Concubine Lian? I am far inferior to you in terms of your skills!"
Seeing Xu Lanshan sitting next to Emperor Yuan Yong, Concubine Lian couldn't help but feel jealous and angry. She said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! It must be Concubine Chen who is spreading rumors and slandering you!"
"Really?" Emperor Yuan Yong smiled gently, "Then I'll give you a chance. Tell me."
Concubine Lian felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I find this scorpion incident extremely suspicious. The palace has always been peaceful, with no accidents in all these years. How could there be a scorpion? Someone must have tasted the sweetness of saving the emperor with snake venom before, and so planned this. Otherwise, as Concubine Chen said, if the scorpion was placed under the bedding, how could it be discovered so easily? Didn't this turn out just as Concubine Chen predicted? She successfully promoted her status and even won the emperor's pity! She didn't suffer any consequences, but she got something for nothing. This woman is truly sinister and vicious. How can the emperor tolerate such a vicious person by his side!"
"Ridiculous!" Emperor Yuan Yong, finally unable to contain himself after hearing her eloquent words, angrily shouted, "I personally ordered Dong Zhi and Yu Huai to investigate this matter, yet you don't understand it as well as I do? Oh, now I know that Concubine Chen has such connections and skills. Not only was she able to secretly bring in poisonous scorpions from outside to stage this act, but she also had the ability to send people to kill and kill them in time to clean up the mess! Concubine Lian, why do I feel that you are more capable of doing all this?"
Concubine Lian's expression changed drastically, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yuan Yong pressed on, "You always like to make things difficult for Concubine Chen. Everyone in the palace knows about this. It's only natural for you to harm her, right?"
"No, no! Your Majesty!"
"I think this speculation is reasonable and well-founded. It seems that I should investigate you thoroughly!"
"No, no! Your Majesty! How can you not believe me? I am innocent!"
"Unjust? I think you are the one who likes to wrongly accuse others the most! Fabricating stories out of nothing, stirring up trouble, stirring up trouble! Concubine Lian, who gives you the confidence? Hmm?"
"Your Majesty! I, I didn't..." Concubine Lian collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.
She never used her status to fool around, she just loved him too much! She just wanted him to look at her more...
Xu Lanshan, that bitch! Even if she wasn't the mastermind behind the poisonous scorpion incident, there must be something strange going on with her. But why didn't the emperor believe her?
What good is she, a lowly servant? Why does the emperor protect her?
"Your Majesty, I am truly devoted to you. No one in this palace admires you more than I do! Why can't you see my sincerity? Woo woo woo..."
Emperor Yuan Yong felt nauseous. Looking at the woman lying on the ground crying with no image at all, he felt that it was ugly and disgusting.
He remained unmoved and said coldly, "Princess Lian has been causing trouble for no reason and acting arrogantly. I will demote her to Concubine Lian."
"emperor!"
"Take him out!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"
Dong Zhi saw that the emperor's face was getting even uglier, so he didn't care about etiquette anymore and said, "Empress Lian, I'm sorry..." and hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to forcibly support her and drag her out.
Concubine Lian was crying uncontrollably. Nanny Xi and Chunqi were terrified and hurriedly took her back.
After returning to Yingshui Lanxiangxie, Concubine Lian just cried and gasped for breath.
Nanny Xi and Chunqi tried to persuade them but to no avail, and the two of them didn't know what to do.
Nanny Xi was in a daze, still a little bit unbelievable. Her own master had become a noble concubine just now? It was like a dream...
But my own master is not worried at all and is just crying here...
Aunt Xi felt exhausted.
Xu Lanshan was also a little dumbfounded, but she was secretly happy at the same time.
Anyway, her relationship with Concubine Lian had been ruined for a long time, so she could only be happy when she was beaten down.
Even if the Empress Dowager was angry, so what? Over the years, the Empress Dowager had never tortured the concubines in the harem. Even with Concubine Yu, who had a heated argument with Concubine Lian, the Empress Dowager never came to help Concubine Lian.
Xu Lanshan thought to herself that she should be very clear that if she died, the emperor would be furious, and the already strained relationship between mother and son would be severely damaged.
The emperor's temper is such that he will not tolerate the empress dowager interfering in his harem.
"Your Majesty! I thank Your Majesty for your grace! Thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom, otherwise I would be speechless..."
Xu Lanshan looked at Emperor Yuan Yong with tears in her eyes, feeling weak, pitiful, admiring and grateful.
Emperor Yuan Yong's anger instantly subsided. He gently stroked her face with his fingers, pinched her face, and laughed: "If you can do this, I will admire you!"
Xu Lanshan opened her eyes wide: "......"
After a while, Fang said, "Your Majesty, are you praising me or insulting me?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was delighted: "What do you think?"
Xu Lanshan curled her lips and said, "I'm almost scared to death, and the emperor is teasing me!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily, embraced her and said, "Alright, alright, Lan'er, don't go back. Why don't you stay here today?"
Xu Lanshan nodded happily: "I couldn't ask for more."
She raised her hand to touch her face, feeling a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up with a smile and said, "I will go back to wash my face and change clothes before coming back. I will definitely not look good in this state."
