Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"I accidentally saw a strange person, right here and there!" Xu Meir pointed in a direction.

Everyone looked in the direction her finger was pointing, but it wasn't pointing at anyone.

Xu Meir was visibly surprised, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Empress! Are you kidding me?" Emperor Jian'an laughed angrily.

Xu Meir looked at Emperor Jian'an in confusion, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yuhuai clenched his sleeves with his slender fingers. He couldn't help but take a step forward: "Father..."

Inexplicably, he didn't want to see her bewildered like this. What he wanted to see more was her unbridled look.

Emperor Jian'an frowned and looked at Lu Yuhuai. Lu Yuhuai slightly raised his lips and was about to say something when a voice suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty! I have something to report!" The person who came was Lin Zhi, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

He walked in front, followed by several imperial guards escorting a tall man in eunuch's clothes.

Emperor Jian'an frowned even deeper: "Lin Zhi, what do you want?"

Before Lin Zhi could speak, Xu Meir said, "Your Majesty, this is the suspicious man I just saw. I saw him use a stone to hit the imperial concubine into the pool."

Emperor Jian'an then took a serious look at the imprisoned man. He looked taller and stronger than most eunuchs, but otherwise there was no difference.

Lin Zhi said: "Your Majesty, after receiving the reward from the Imperial Concubine today, I was planning to go and express my gratitude, but I saw this person sneaking around on the way here."

"When I asked him who he was, he actually ran away in a hurry. I concluded that this man must have a ghost, so I had him arrested."

"However, this man is quite skilled in martial arts, and it took us some effort to capture him."

"I thought that the place where this person appeared was very close to the palace of Concubine Shu, and there was an imperial physician rushing to Concubine Shu's place. I guessed that this person might be related to this matter, so I dared to bring him here."

"If what the imperial concubine said is true, this man does have the ability to knock people into the water."

At this point, Lin Zhi bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Jian'an kicked the man and said, "It's you! Tell me! Who do you belong to?"

The man was held tightly by the Imperial Guards and could only grit his teeth and endure the kick.

He looked at the imperial concubine standing beside him, and his heart was in a panic. Soon he said angrily: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I was clearly doing what you told me to do. Why didn't you save me?"

Emperor Jian'an turned to look at Xu Meir, his eyes sharp.

Lu Yuhuai took a step forward and suddenly smiled: "Father is wise and powerful, how can you deceive him?"

Emperor Jian'an turned his gaze to Lu Yuhuai.

Lu Yuhuai continued, "You said that Concubine Shu was pushed down by Concubine Gui, but he said that Concubine Gui instructed him to shoot Concubine Shu down."

"One of you must be lying."

Emperor Jian'an's eyes darkened: "Take them both to Xiatai and torture them severely!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am innocent!" Xiaoshuang shouted loudly.

The fingers of another personal maid of Concubine Shu trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her head away.

Only Xiaoshuang and the man kept wailing for mercy.

After dealing with the two men, Emperor Jian'an looked at Xu Mei'er and said, "As for the Imperial Concubine... until the truth is clear, she will be confined to her house for a year, demoted one level, and she will also be required to fast and chant Buddhist scriptures for three months for my deceased son!"

No matter what the truth was, Emperor Jian'an hated her to death, simply because she was the prime minister's daughter.

The daughter of the prime minister who was in a high position of power and whom he wanted to touch but could not!

Xu Meir's eyes were light: "I have just entered the palace not long ago. Except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the first time I have seen Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty must have seen that maid much more often than I have. It is normal for Your Majesty not to trust me."

Emperor Jian'an looked gloomy: "Are you blaming me?"

Xu Meir: "I dare not, but I don't know how to answer when my family asks me."

Emperor Jian'an snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes could not be concealed: "My Royal Concubine, you are so brave, you are worthy of being the Prime Minister's good daughter. I underestimated you!"

Xu Meir lowered her head, looked submissive and remained silent.

Emperor Jian'an left with a wave of his sleeves. In his anger, he even forgot about Concubine Shu in the palace.

Well, now the Prime Minister is becoming more and more proud. Do you really think he can't do anything to you?

Emperor Jian'an stepped heavily, and the cold and cruel aura became stronger and stronger. He would rather give up an arm than see the prime minister get well.

After Emperor Jian'an left, Lu Yuhuai looked at Xu Meir with complicated eyes, and then left too.

Concubine Zhou looked at Xu Meir and felt very strange. Did she know what would happen to the Prime Minister after hearing these words?

She bowed and left quickly. She had messed up her job and didn't know what kind of punishment she would receive.

The corners of Xu Meir's mouth curled up, then quickly fell down.

Of course she knew what was going on in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They used her, so why couldn't she use them in return?

The prime minister has always been famous for his virtue and ability, and he has countless disciples. Many people in the court were once his students. You can imagine how high his prestige is.

Unlike the Beijun Zhang family to which the queen belongs, in modern terms, the Zhang family is an old-established enterprise that once had a large and wide influence, while the prime minister's faction represents the rising stars who are unstoppable.

There is a great competitive relationship between the two, so the Queen treats Xu Meir coldly both openly and secretly.

As for the emperor, due to the power of the Xu family, he naturally would not be nice to Xu Meir.

When other concubines saw someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and whose status was higher than theirs, they would naturally target him in every way.

In addition, Xu Meir has a gentle personality and does not know how to resist, so she will only be bullied even more miserably.

In the original plot, the prime minister's family sent the original owner into the palace to let her suffer humiliation, the more miserable the better, and it would be best if everyone knew about it.

This is exactly the effect the Xu family wants.

The original owner never figured this out until his death, but after Xu Mei came, he gradually understood the twists and turns.

The beloved daughter of the Prime Minister, who was outstanding, virtuous and kind, was not only not favored after entering the palace, but was insulted everywhere and finally died miserably. The Prime Minister, who loved his daughter as his life, rebelled in anger, just to seek justice, not only for his beloved daughter, but also for the oppressed people in the world who could not resist.

Such a script will quickly resonate with many people.

Yes, no one could have imagined that the elegant Prime Minister would have such thoughts. He was indeed cruel enough.
