In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

The emperor frowned and looked at Concubine De without saying a word.

Concubine De stood with her back straight and her head slightly lowered.

For a moment, the room fell into a brief silence.

Concubine Li saw that the emperor looked obviously unhappy.

She rolled her eyes and stopped massaging the emperor's legs.

Turning to look at Concubine De, she spoke in a tender voice,

"My Lady, although I am of a lower status than you, I should not have refuted your words.

However, what the Queen said just now was only from Wei Liuying's perspective, without taking the royal family's reputation into consideration at all.

Therefore, even if I have committed an offense against my superior, I will still argue with Your Majesty today."

As she spoke, Concubine Li turned her head and glanced at the emperor's expression.

Seeing that the emperor lowered his eyes, he had no intention of stopping her from continuing.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

It seems that she made the right bet.

The emperor really needs a substitute who can speak to his heart's content.

This task is just right for her.

So, she slowly stood up, knelt beside the bed, and said indignantly:

"Wei Liuying may seem pitiful, but everything is her own fault.

Before, she was the one who coveted the royal family's wealth and honor and was determined to marry into the royal family.

Afterwards, she became a princess, but was unable to win her husband's heart.

She couldn't even take good care of her husband's health.

As a result, after getting married, they have not been able to get pregnant.

It was also for this reason that she was forced to have an affair with a lowly groom and become pregnant with a bastard.

It lost the face of the royal family.

Her crime is not small.

Because of his majesty's kindness, he allowed the imperial physician to treat her injuries and had people serve her.

But she did not know how to reflect on herself, and instead beat and scolded the palace servants who served her.

If such a person were really released back to the Prime Minister's Mansion as Empress Defei said, I don't know what kind of trouble he would cause in the future.

After all, she was a member of the royal family. If she loses face outside, it will also bring shame to the royal family."

As she said these words, she looked at Concubine De with indignation on her face.

When Concubine De saw her like this, she lowered her eyes and remained silent, neither agreeing nor making any comment.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Concubine Li.

All I know is that what she said was completely in line with the emperor's wishes.

No matter how much she argues, she can't change anything?

After hearing what Concubine Li said, the emperor's expression visibly eased a lot.

He looked at Li Guiren.

"Then according to you, what is the most appropriate way to place Wei Liuying?"

When Concubine Li heard the emperor's question, she immediately straightened her back and said loudly:

"According to my temper, as a member of the royal family, I had an affair with a lowly groom and got pregnant.

You should hang yourself with a rope, that would be considered a man of integrity.

Wei Liuying is like this. Not only does she not feel ashamed, but she also wants to go back and embarrass herself. She really brings shame to all women in the world."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing what Concubine Li said.

"Get up and talk."

Upon hearing this, Li Guiren lowered her head and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he stood up and continued:

"Since Wei Liuying herself has no sense of shame and is afraid of death, she dare not commit suicide.

Your Majesty is merciful, but even if you can spare her life, you cannot let her go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to embarrass herself.

You can just let Wei Liuying shave her head and get married to become a nun.

In this way, Wei Liuying's life could be saved without losing the royal family's reputation.

This is also a sign of your majesty's kindness and generosity, otherwise Wei Liuying would have had to die."

After Li Guiren finished speaking, the emperor nodded and looked at Concubine De again.

"My dear, what do you think?"

Concubine De lowered her head, looking somewhat helpless.

"Everything is decided by your majesty, and I dare not object."

Although she knew that following the emperor's wishes and nodding in agreement with Li Guiren's words could please the emperor.

But she didn't want to step on other people's corpses to win favor.

Not making any comment is her final bottom line.

Seeing that Concubine De refused to give in, the Emperor looked at Concubine Li and waved.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Li stepped forward and called softly.

The emperor reached out and pulled Concubine Li to sit beside his bed.

"My beloved concubine's words are deeply in my heart, so I will do as my beloved concubine wishes."

When Concubine Li heard the emperor calling her his beloved concubine, she felt overjoyed in her heart, but her face was filled with confusion.

Remind quietly,

"My...my beloved?

Your Majesty, I am just a noble lady."

The emperor smiled and said,

“Starting today, it’s not the case anymore.

I will promote you to the position of concubine today, how about that? "

When Concubine Li heard the emperor say this, she was overjoyed.

She hurriedly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The emperor raised his hand.

Concubine Li stood up, and this time she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

It is unreasonable to be promoted directly from the position of noble lady to that of concubine.

However, since the emperor likes it, no one can refute it.

Defei naturally knew this truth.

Seeing that Concubine Li was a little too proud of herself, she pretended not to see it.

Li Guiren looked at Concubine De and deliberately asked:

"Your Majesty values ​​me. Wouldn't your Majesty be unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine De was speechless.

She was silent for a moment, and finally could only shake her head gently.

“My sister joked.

My sister is appreciated by His Majesty, and it is reasonable and right for her to be promoted. How can I not be happy? "

When Concubine Li heard what Concubine De said, she curled her lips.

"Thank you very much, sister."

After saying this, Li Guiren looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you even more wholeheartedly in the future."

The emperor took Li Guiren's hand.

"I'll leave Wei Liuying's matter entirely to you."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

Li Guiren said with a sweet smile.

She thought that Wei Liuying now had no parents and no husband to rely on.

The only one we can rely on is the British Palace.

But the Duke of England is old, and no matter how great his past contributions were, they are all in the past.

Now she doesn't hold much weight in the emperor's heart anymore.

This can be seen from the emperor's approving attitude when she proposed the idea of ​​dealing with Wei Liuying just now.

She just came up with an idea and was directly promoted from a noble lady to a concubine.

That would be if she had done a good job in dealing with Wei Liuying.

Who knows, if the emperor is so happy, he might just let her take over the management of the harem from Concubine De.

Or maybe she was directly promoted to imperial concubine.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li became full of energy.

The smile on his face was so broad.

Seeing this, Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how great the benefits were, she would not want to be a butcher.

What's more, the Duke of England would not sit idly by and watch his only granddaughter being bullied.

By then, Concubine Li might suffer a lot.

On the second day, Concubine Li was promoted to Concubine Li.

Because the emperor was still ill, the ceremony of conferring the title of empress was cancelled.

Concubine Li was wearing the imperial robes and crown, and she knelt on the ground to receive the imperial decree to confer her the title of consort.

She took the imperial edict from the eunuch and her hands were shaking with excitement.

Finally, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the maid beside her helped her up.

"Congratulations, Madam Li."

Princess Li was also happy and waved her hand.

“Everyone will be rewarded!”
