The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1051 Returning to the Palace (14)
Miao Hui secretly sighed in her heart, it seems that in this deep palace, there are too many battles in the open and in the dark, those who seem to be kind to you may not be able to have a little sincerity, sometimes it will be even more unpredictable.

The emperor nodded slightly, and said coldly: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, is there anything else you want to say, Concubine Yi?"

Concubine Yi was very anxious, she didn't understand, even if the emperor liked the imperial concubine, could he tolerate her infidelity?I knelt here and said so much, the emperor always seemed to not understand her meaning, and it seemed as if he had never heard the name Murong Shaocheng from the beginning to the end.

Concubine Yi finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said like she was going all out: "Your Majesty, on the day the palace was broken, many people saw Murong Shaocheng enter the imperial study with their own eyes. I don't believe that the relationship between him and the imperial concubine is so innocent!"

"Concubine Yi, after you have gone so far in circles, what you want to say in the end is just this sentence, right?" The emperor held the teacup in his hand, but he did not have the previous anger, but his tone was still a bit chilly. Yi said, "On the day the palace was broken, Xiao Hong took the imperial concubine to the imperial study room, and wanted her to help find my jade seal. The imperial concubine and Xiao Hong were knocked unconscious by him in the imperial study room. The imperial concubine was taken out of the palace, was stopped by General Fufeng outside the city, and sent to Baiyun Temple, this is the truth you want. Since I am not dead, everything in this palace is still under my control, Could it be that my eyeliner can't compare to those groundless gossips that you have inquired about?"

Even though Yipin didn't really believe the emperor's words, she still fell to the ground slowly because of the despair in her heart, her face was ashen ashes, and her expression was distorted and frozen out of control. She knew that she had failed this time.She was not defeated by the imperial concubine, but by the emperor. So, what else can she say?

"I know that it's not just Concubine Yi who has doubts about this matter, but all of you who are sitting here have doubts. Concubine Yi just said what you want to ask. But it's good to talk about it, and it's inevitable. Unconvinced, he slandered others with obscene words in private. Now that I have made my words clear today, if I hear anyone who dares to talk nonsense about this in the future, I will weigh the consequences myself."

"Your Majesty... my concubine, my concubine is also thinking of the emperor, so I can't... I can't just not report..." Concubine Yi was so flustered that she couldn't even speak coherently. Just now she had seen Concubine Shu's end, It is false to say that he is not afraid, besides begging for mercy for the current plan, what else can he do to save his position first and plan for the future?
The emperor said coldly: "I know what you want to say, and I am also responsible for this matter. When I sent the imperial concubine to Baiyun Temple to pray for blessings, I should have made it clear to you, but I know that the imperial concubine likes to be quiet, but I don't want Baiyun. All the Taoist priests watching felt constrained because of the imperial concubine, so they sent her to the Taoist priest Miaoqiong in Houshan. I thought it was well thought out, but I didn't expect such a big misunderstanding to arise. Now that the matter has been explained clearly , I don't plan to pursue it any further, Yipin, you apologize to the imperial concubine and admit your mistake, let's just forget about it."

Concubine Yi couldn't believe her ears. The emperor punished Concubine Shu so severely, yet he was willing to let her go. This really surprised her, and even made her a little dazed for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Why, don't you want to?" Seeing her kneeling there motionless, the emperor's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, and the concubine will confess her mistake to the imperial concubine."

Even though she hated Qingchen for not being able to bring down Qingchen, she was as uncomfortable as if she was skewered on a fire with a bamboo stick, but Yipin still forced out a few tears, knelt down in front of Qingchen and cried, "Ma'am, your lord Don't remember the villain's mistakes, don't be as knowledgeable as the concubine, the concubine misunderstood the words of the villain, misunderstood the empress, and begged the empress to forgive the concubine this time, the concubine will never dare again in the future. All the sisters in the village felt that the empress was slightly flawed because of this matter, and they were very angry in their hearts. They wanted to clarify the matter. Ruyu, steadfast and unyielding, makes the courtiers and concubines admire, if there is any offence, please forgive me."

Qingchen's gaze moved across everyone's faces meaningfully. Seeing some gloating, some sneering, and some having nothing to do with her, she also sneered and said indifferently: "Since it was a misunderstanding, Just explain clearly, you get up."

Qingchen couldn't understand Yipin's words. She dragged everyone into the water, which meant that she didn't have trouble with herself because of personal grievances, but just wanted to ask her for an explanation on behalf of everyone. , then everyone will be punished together, not just her.

The emperor also knew this reason, and he didn't want to make her enemies as soon as he returned to the palace, making her a target of public criticism, so he decided to let Yipin go. She can understand his painstaking efforts.

In fact, even if Concubine Yi didn't say anything, wouldn't those who came today and those who didn't come have the same thoughts?It can be said that Concubine Ning did not come to avoid suspicion, but He Wanyi did not appear here, which made her feel a little surprised.

Concubine Yi hastily kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Madam, for forgiving my concubine. I am very grateful." Then she got up and slowly stepped aside, secretly giving everyone a hard look. She did not expect that yesterday at Concubine Ning's place, she would be filled with righteous indignation due to their concerted efforts. Today, no one is willing to come out and speak for her.Probably the fate of concubine Shu made everyone see the emperor's attitude clearly, so the concubines who were already indifferent to favor were even less willing to take the risk of disobeying the holy will.People's hearts are so sinister, they always only care about self-protection and don't care about other people's life and death, at this moment, Yipin's heart is really chilled.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, the emperor was a little annoyed after tossing around for so long, so he ordered: "If there is nothing else, you all kneel down, the imperial concubine and I have other things to discuss."

Concubine Yi couldn't wait for the sound, so she was the first to stand up and leave with everyone. Only Concubine Xian walked over to hold Qingchen's hand after getting up, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's good if you come back. I don't feel so lonely anymore, you should rest well these few days, and I will come to see you again in a few days."

At this moment, Qingchen felt a lot of emotion in his heart, even though he had thousands of words, it was not the time to speak, so he nodded softly and said: "In the harem, only my sister still misses me, I just came back, there are so many messy things, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll talk to my sister after I clear up my own palace first."

Ye Hanyu sighed softly, and said with infinite love, "You have suffered a lot outside these two years, and it's hard for you. Seeing how dark and thin you are now, I feel sorry for you, let alone the emperor. gone."
