After Yan Wan, Su Lujun, Ruyi, Ling Yunche and others, as well as the witnessing maids, had all arrived, the Emperor's face looked gloomy and there seemed to be a dark aura lingering around him, which was really scary.

"I asked you two to come here today because I encountered something surprising and was shocked. The affairs of the harem are now completely under the management of you two..." The emperor said, while folding the bracelets in his hand. He suddenly raised his head and said,

"Do you intend to cover up the fact that Concubine Xian has an affair with a guard?"

Yan Wan came from Yonghe Palace, and she had changed out of the light pink dress she had just worn and put on green. She deliberately led Ling Yun Che to run into Ru Yi, and it happened that the emperor felt pity for Ru Yi because of Jin Zhong's two words, and went to see Xian Fei on purpose, which gave him a surprise.

With such a big thing happening in the harem, it seems that the two of them could talk to each other in public, and they must have had a lot of contact in private in the past.

Although Yan Wan didn't know what Ling Yunche and Ruyi had said specifically, this was also an advantage of not knowing, as it prevented her from letting the cat out of the bag in a panic, making it seem as if she had known about it in advance but had not reported it.

Yanwan lifted up her clothes to prevent herself from accidentally stepping on it. She and Su Lujun both looked surprised and confused. Then they stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, just shaking their heads to admit their mistakes.

No matter what the emperor was talking about, he was so angry, it must be a big deal. The two of them were managing the harem, and they were not aware of a big incident, which was really a dereliction of duty.

"Your servants are stupid and don't know what the emperor is talking about." They said in unison.

The emperor sneered and threw the bracelet in his hand away. The bracelet drew a perfect arc, fell to the ground from mid-air, and slid to the side of Ruyi.

She, Ling Yunche and the nanny were brought here as prisoners. They knelt on the ground as soon as they entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. When she saw the familiar bracelet, Ruyi couldn't help but burst into tears.

This was the opening of a grand drama that was rare in the Forbidden City in a century, with the emperor furious and Concubine Xian in tears.

The emperor's face was still gloomy. Empress Xiaoxian was dead, and he no longer had a mouth to ask questions for him or talk to him at times like this, so he had to judge everything by himself.

Even if the emperor was so angry that he didn't want to say another word, he still had to ask in person.

At this moment, he really missed the time when Langya was around.

Hey.

pity.

"I had an idea today, so I went for a walk outside Yuanxi Palace at noon. I wanted to go see Concubine Xian. I have been punished. It has been so long, so it can be considered as atonement."

The emperor's face was drooping frighteningly, and there was a deep sense of death in his eyes. With a strange rage, he said, "I didn't expect that I would see the guards talking to Concubine Xian near the gate of Yuanxi Palace. Both of them shed tears and were deeply moved."

"These two are able to speak and act like this in public. This must not be the first time." The emperor's deep eyes suddenly moved to Concubine Chun, and he said, "Concubine Chun."

Su Lujun shuddered. Ever since Yongzhang was kicked inexplicably, she had been extremely scared and had been hiding from the emperor for quite some time. Fortunately, the emperor was also ruthless to her and never came to Zhongcui Palace again.

Su Lujun felt that it would be good if the emperor just forgot about her.

When Concubine Ling learned that she was in a state of panic, she came to accompany her several times to comfort her. After hearing her patiently comforting herself, Lujun only said, "The Third Prince was inexplicably angered this time, and the Emperor will also feel a little bit of compensatory in the future. As long as Concubine Chun and the Third Prince don't make any mistakes, the Emperor will certainly compensate the Third Prince."

This really made Su Lujun feel relieved. After all, she was not planning to become the queen. All she had to do was to take care of her son and see that he was alive and well.

Su Lujun was not good at handling palace affairs. The trivial matters in the palace were previously handled by Empress Xiaoxian, but now it was Yanwan who did it. She really didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Was he going to test her work results to see if she knew about the serious mistake of Concubine Xian, which was punishable by the execution of nine generations of her family...

Imperial Concubine Chun responded hesitantly, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor suddenly became impatient for some unknown reason. He asked sternly, "You have a close personal relationship with Concubine Xian. Did you know about this and cover it up for her?"

Su Lujun raised her head in horror at that moment and took a deep breath. Even the dumbest person would know how to answer at this moment!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise. I am stupid and cannot do many complicated and trivial tasks. Thank Your Majesty for your mercy and allowing me to assist in managing the six palaces. Although the Yikun Palace is managed by me, I can only do some simple chores. Fortunately, Concubine Ling can help me with most of the affairs in the palace..." Su Lujun explained stutteringly.

But the emperor was in a bad mood, how could he tolerate her long speech? He patiently repeated, "I only want to ask whether you knew about it or not, and whether you knew about it but did not report it?"

Su Lujun quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know. I don't know about this."

"Moreover, such a shameful thing must be avoided from others. How can it be done every day without covering it up..."

Concubine Chun kept blaming Ruyi in her heart, saying, "It's fine if you want to have an affair, but you also want to implicate me and make me suspected as well. What is this?"

Why must such an indecent thing be done in front of so many people? Why don't you go to your palace or go to a place where there is no one? Yuanxi was confined to the palace, and there were guards guarding her. When Ruyi was punished every day, there were maids around her. Why did she have to do it in front of so many people?

Does your affair need the emperor's blessing?

Concubine Chun was really afraid that she would suffer because of this matter. Her relationship with Concubine Xian was already very bad. If she was unjustly punished for this, what would that mean?

Ruyi slowly closed her eyes, two lines of tears slid down her face to her chin, and gathered into one clear teardrop. Her former good friend, Concubine Chun, now turned to step on her because of the bad situation.

Although Ruyi had heard a long time ago that Concubine Chun had ordered not to give her anything good, she still hoped in her heart that this person would not be too bad.

I never thought that human hearts could be so sinister.

Rong Pei knelt behind her master. She was trembling with fear. Others didn't know, but she had seen Ling Yunche having a secret meeting with Concubine Xian.

If the emperor had her imprisoned, she would have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for torture.

Thinking of the two vicious old women, Rong Pei shuddered suddenly. At that time, Concubine Ling was just punishing her to learn the rules. What happened today was a thousand times worse than that. If the punishment was to become a thousand times more severe... Rong Pei had a bitter face and was very afraid that the emperor would notice her existence.

After hearing this, the emperor's complexion did not improve, it was still as dark as ink. He glanced at the bewildered Concubine Chun, and thought of her previous actions, and thought that she did not have such a brain.

The emperor looked at his favorite Concubine Yan again, and saw that Yanwan's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry in the next second.
