Inside the Taoist temple, there were blood stains.

Xie Lian'er's face was pale on the ground, and red blood was pouring out from her hands and feet.

Xie Congrong's body was also spattered with blood.

Hearing the sound, she turned to look at the door, her cold eyes slightly startled.

In an instant, several explanations ran through Xie Congrong's mind, but no matter which one they were, they were not so seamless.

So, Xie Congrong closed his eyes and chose to pretend to be stunned to delay.

"My beloved concubine!"

When the emperor saw her fainting, he rushed over and hugged her.

When passing by Xie Lian'er, I accidentally stepped on her hand.

"what……"

Xie Lian'er also fainted from the pain.

"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine..."

Xie Congrong lay in the emperor's arms, listening to his urgent calls, and her emotions were a little complicated for a while.

Soon, she felt herself being picked up by the emperor.

As he walked out, he called the doctor.

She quietly opened a slit of her eyes, and she saw Xie Lian'er lying in a pool of blood. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead, but no one cared about her.

Finally, some joy arose in my heart.

Soon, Xie Congrong was carried to the side hall of the Taoist temple, placed on a soft bed, and changed her clothes.

Xie Congrong couldn't help trembling as his big hands caressed his body.

But fortunately the emperor didn't seem to notice.

The imperial physician came, it was Imperial Physician Li who had diagnosed Xie Congrong's pulse.

After feeling for his pulse for a while, he frowned.

The emperor was a little panicked, "How?"

Doctor Li immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please allow me to examine you again."

"Hurry up." The emperor urged, a little anxious and a little angry.

"Yes."

Doctor Li checked his pulse carefully for a while, and finally became convinced that he was an old fool.

Concubine Rong has only been in the palace for a short time, how could she possibly be happy?

He must have not slept well last night and his mind was not clear.

Therefore, Imperial Physician Li did not mention this matter, but instead replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is probably too frightened, so she should rest for a while. Weichen will also prepare some calming soup for Concubine Rong to take."

When writing the prescription, Dr. Li hesitated and changed the medicine to a few milder ones.

Even pregnant people will be fine if they drink this soothing soup.

Soon, the prescription was taken away, and someone was assigned to prepare and brew it.

Dr. Li also resigned accordingly.

The emperor looked at Xie Congrong, who was slumped down, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Sensing a gaze staring at her, Xie Congrong was a little nervous. She didn't know what the emperor would do with her next.

In the palace, with the intention of killing...

Moreover, that person is also the official wife of the prince who is favored by the emperor.

She admitted that she was impulsive when she took action, but she has no regrets.

In the previous life, it was Xie Lian'er who cooperated with Ji Ming to hide the so-called evidence slandering them and the prince's rebellion in her father's study!

Thinking of this, Xie Congrong's breathing became a little rapid.

The emperor noticed immediately, "My beloved concubine, are you awake?"

Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Xie Congrong slowly opened his eyes, "Your Majesty..."

She looked around, "Concubine, this is..."

"You fainted, so I brought you here. But don't worry, the imperial doctor has diagnosed you and it's nothing serious." The emperor explained patiently. Although his expression was gentle, it was different from before, and it was a bit distant.

He has doubts.

Xie Congrong's eyes flashed slightly, and tears came at any time, falling on the back of the emperor's hand.

"My beloved concubine, what are you doing?" The emperor reached out to wipe away her tears, but he didn't expect that more and more tears would be wiped away, and soon his hands would become wet.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty..."

Xie Congrong choked and said, trying to get up and kneel on the ground, but was held down by the emperor.

"You are not feeling well, please lie down first."

"I don't dare."

Xie Congrong lowered her posture, her slender body trembling slightly as she cried, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

The emperor's heart softened instantly.

He patted Xie Congrong's hand and said, "Don't worry, you will lie down when I tell you to."

After a pause, he added, "You just need to tell me why you wanted to hurt her?"

The Emperor still needed an explanation.

But hearing what he said, Xie Congrong felt a little confident in his heart.

It seemed that the emperor had no intention of disposing of her.

Thinking about it, Xie Congrong said in a low voice, "I didn't mean it on purpose. I was praying for His Majesty, and then I heard footsteps behind me. I thought it was Your Majesty, but when I turned around..."

Her face paled slightly, as if she remembered something terrible.

"I saw her holding a candlestick. There was only a little candle left on the candlestick, but it was still burning..."

"She stabbed at me. I was so scared that I somehow grabbed her hand and stabbed her back..."

"She wanted to pinch me with her other hand. I..."

"Woooooooo..."

As he said that, Xie Congrong seemed to collapse and started crying, "Your Majesty, am I unclean?"

She lowered her head and looked at her hands, "My hands, my hands... seem to be very dirty..."

"A lot of blood, a lot of blood..."

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

His face was also extremely pale.

The emperor looked very distressed and hugged Xie Congrong tightly in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Xie Calmly didn't answer, just lay in the emperor's arms and cried non-stop.

When I was tired from crying, I really fell asleep.

Noticing that Xie Congrong's breathing had become steady, the emperor gently put her down, pulled the quilt over her, and then quietly walked out of the side hall.

When he came outside, the emperor's expression immediately became cold and solemn.

"Go and bring Xie Lian'er over."

"Yes."

Soon, the sleeping Xie Lian'er was brought over.

There was no treatment on her body, and because of the guards' pulling, the holes in her limbs started to bleed again.

"Splash her awake," the emperor ordered.

"Yes."

The guard immediately brought a basin of cold water and poured it on Xie Lian'er.

Xie Lian'er just woke up, and as soon as she woke up, she felt a terrible pain all over her body.

She looked at the emperor pleadingly, "Your Majesty, save me, save me..."

The emperor didn't answer, just looked at her coldly.

He had an impression of Xie Lian'er. As the adopted daughter of the Xie family, she often went out to attend banquets and made friends. She also had a constant reputation in Kyoto and was known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.

After seeing Xie Congrong, the emperor knew what the real number one beauty was.

Xie Lian'er looks too tacky.

After looking at her coldly for a while, the emperor finally said, "Why did you want to assassinate Concubine Rong?"

"???" Xie Lian'er was stunned.

"Your Majesty, it is my daughter who was injured..."

She tried to be miserable, but the emperor couldn't help but sneer, "That's because my beloved concubine is smart and alert, otherwise if you hurt her, you won't be able to chop her off even if you have a head!"

Xie Lian'er was shocked. The emperor actually defended Xie Congrong like this?

She couldn't help shouting, "Your Majesty! Thank you for letting her go..."

"boom!"

Before Xie Lian'er could finish her words, she was kicked away by the emperor.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She only heard the emperor's condescending warning.

"She is my concubine Rong, not Xie Congrong. Do you understand?"

The emperor's black eyes were sharp and murderous.

Xie Lian'er understood what the emperor meant and trembled with fear, "I know, I know..."

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Send her back to the East Palace!"

"Yes."

Xie Lian'er was immediately carried away by the guards.

However, not long after, the guard came back to report.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ming was picked up by the Queen Mother."
