The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

It was night, the prison was brightly lit, and the screams continued until dawn.

When the sky turned white, Lu Xingyue finally came out with a pair of red eyes.

The prince confessed.

He told the story about the daily life, and Lu Xingyue followed the clues to find the library. In the end, all the overt and covert clues pointed to Chunhua Palace.

It's just that the living room was destroyed and no trace of it was found.

Lu Xingyue reported the truth to Emperor Hui'an.

Emperor Hui'an was silent for a long time after reading the confession, and finally said: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back to your home and see Lan Sui."

The colors between his brows were mixed, and it was clear that he was far from as calm as he looked on the face.

Before Lu Xingyue left, he whispered: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself and don't work too hard."

Emperor Hui'an's hand holding the tea paused, his face brightened slightly, he nodded and said, "I understand."

As soon as Lu Xingyue returned to the Marquis Mansion, he received news that the imperial concubine had been invited to the imperial study.

Shen Lansui was leaning on the couch and taking a nap with her eyes closed. After hearing this, she opened her eyes, hooked Lu Xingyue's hand and asked, "Is it going to end?"

Lu Xingyue waved his hand for Zhou Quan to step back. He sat down on the edge of the couch, wrapped her hand in his big hand, and said warmly, "Almost."

Shen Lansui leaned into his arms, Lu Xingyue put his arms around her shoulders, and the two just leaned together, quietly enjoying the rare tender time.

After a long time, Lu Xingyue said, "Now that the case has been investigated, it can be concluded. It depends on what His Majesty decides next."

The most innocent person in this case was the seventh prince. He was framed by his brother for no apparent reason and almost got himself involved. Later it was found out that the prince bribed his people, and the prince's confidants were bribed by others. Their brothers were instigated and left. We have reached a point of irreconcilability.

Although the prince was instigated by others, the plan to frame the seventh prince and intercept and kill Lu Xingyue was all his own.

If you have no distracting thoughts, how can you be easily instigated?

In any case, the position of the prince cannot be saved. As for whether his life can be saved, it all depends on Emperor Hui'an's mood.

And the fifth prince and the noble concubine, the two instigators...

Shen Lansui squeezed Lu Xingyue's hand and asked softly: "What will your Majesty do with the imperial concubine and the fifth prince? Will you kill them?"

Lu Xingyue shook his head, "It's hard to say. Your Majesty really loved your concubine back then. It's hard to let go of the friendship between the two of them for so many years."

Shen Lansui also felt that after she was silent for a while, she smiled in relief, "I didn't expect to kill them. The best result is to prevent them from turning over."

"This matter has extremely wide implications, and I'm afraid Your Majesty will not continue to investigate further." Lu Xingyue sighed softly, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. How many people in the former harem can withstand the investigation?"

"No matter what others think, if this matter is dealt with early, you won't have to work so hard."

Shen Lansui turned to look at Lu Xingyue, touched his face and said, "Sanlang has lost a lot of weight."

Lu Xingyue lowered his head to the crook of her neck, inhaled the scent of her body and said, "It'll be great if the case is over. Don't you like the scenery of Lingshan Temple? I'll accompany you to stay there for a few days."

"it is good."

Shen Lansui kissed him on the lips. When he stepped back, he was held down by Lu Xingyue. He turned back and deepened the kiss.

Emperor Hui'an sat in an armchair, closed his eyes and propped his head, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, making the dragon robe dazzlingly bright.

The imperial concubine came alone and walked towards him step by step. In these short few steps, countless memories flashed through her mind, and finally they all returned to peace.

She slowly knelt down and said, "I have met Your Majesty."

Emperor Hui'an didn't open his eyes and said after a while: "Coming?"

"Yes."

He didn't let the imperial concubine stand up, but the imperial concubine stood up on her own and walked to the table to stand.

She touched the tea cup and found it was cold.

She said softly: "How come Cheng Jin is an errand? He doesn't even know that the tea is cold, and he doesn't change the pot for His Majesty? Your Majesty has a bad spleen and stomach and can't bear the cold."

"Thank you for remembering." Emperor Hui'an finally opened his eyes. He looked at the still beautiful concubine in front of him, feeling pain and hatred in his heart.

"Then do you know why I called you here tonight?"

The imperial concubine raised her eyes to look at him and smiled softly, "Your Majesty has already found Jin's house. It's hard for me not to know."

At this point, she was still laughing. Emperor Hui'an was so angry that he grabbed the confession and threw it at her, saying angrily: "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

The imperial concubine stepped back to catch the sliding confession, glanced down, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She and the Jin family have done so many evil things over the years, and they have lost count of how many lives they have taken on their hands.

After reading these confessions, she couldn't even remember who some of them were.

But she knew there was nothing she could do to save herself.

She didn't look at the things behind her anymore. She knelt down again with her skirt in hand, her expression as calm as ever, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, these things were done by my concubine. They were ordered by me and have nothing to do with His Highness the Fifth Prince. My concubine is possessed by ghosts and has committed many evil deeds, and it is not a pity to die. However, His Majesty, the Fifth Highness, is His Majesty’s son. I beg Your Majesty to spare his life for the sake of his ignorance.”

She kowtowed heavily to Emperor Hui'an and fell to the ground.

Emperor Hui'an's chest rose and fell rapidly, his eyes red with anger, "He doesn't know, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"His Majesty--"

The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at him pleadingly, "I only have one son, and this is my only thought for your Majesty. Does your Majesty hate me so much? You won't even let go of your blood?"

"Don't you feel guilty for saying this?" Emperor Hui'an was furious and swept down the table decorations with his hand. There were crackling sounds one after another, and the people waiting outside were frightened.

"For your own selfish desires, you drugged Lu Yanning, wanting to ruin her reputation and pave the way for yourself, haha..."

Emperor Hui'an laughed angrily and looked at the imperial concubine with disappointment, "You are also a woman, how could you come up with such a despicable method to harm another woman? Lao Wu is my blood, isn't Xing Yue the same?"

The imperial concubine's heart tightened and she couldn't say anything to refute.

"When you repeatedly harmed Xing Yue and Lan Sui, did you ever think that they are also children and are other people's thoughts?"

The imperial concubine lowered her head and looked at her hands, "I've done everything. It's useless for me to say anything now. Your Majesty, please calm down and don't make yourself angry."

Emperor Hui'an took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and said tiredly: "I ask myself, I have never treated you badly, why do you step on my bottom line again and again? You are already a noble concubine, and you are not satisfied?"

"It would be fine if I gave birth to a waste, but it is the fifth child who is as good-looking as the prince. Your Majesty loves me so much, why can't I compete with the queen?"

The imperial concubine chuckled, "Can your Majesty be willing to change the place?"
