Chapter 1041: Turning over is like turning over a book!
The third princess immediately covered her face and said coquettishly, "No, I can't tan!"
Jiayin pushed her into the house, "You take care of yourself, I'll let Shuiling go."
After saying that, she winked at Shuiling and returned to the side hall.
Soon, Shui Ling carried a food box and a token and left the palace...
When Jiayin got up from her nap, Shuiling had already brought snacks back and sent them to the imperial study room.
Manager Yi got an extra box, so he tested the poison with a smile, and found that there was no problem, so he sent Shui Ling back to Zhilan Palace early.
The third princess and Jiayin also had snacks, and in the afternoon they asked the little **** to set up a swing in the corner of the courtyard. They played until it was dark and did not stop until they were too tired.
After dinner, the third princess felt very sleepy, so she reluctantly washed herself up and went to bed.
Jiayin, on the other hand, hugged Sanjiu and sat on the sofa with a book in his hand, petting the fox and reading at the same time.
Shuiyun cut the fruit plate, put it on the table, and whispered, "Princess, you should go to bed early."
Jiayin nodded and said, "Tonight you and Shui Ling will have to work hard to guard the gate of Zhilan Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave, and no one is allowed to open the door if they hear any movement. If anyone acts rashly, they can be taken down first. No matter life or death!"
Shuiyun was startled and asked, "Princess, tonight..."
Jiayin waved her hand to signal her not to say more.
"Just do as I say and don't worry. Everything outside has nothing to do with us. Just make sure that there is no chaos in Zhilan Palace."
"Yes, Princess." Shuiyun quickly retreated.
Soon, the sound of the door creaking was heard, and the footsteps faded away, becoming clearer in the dark night...
In the royal study, the emperor put down the medicine bowl, tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his mouth, and asked, "Have the arrangements been finished?"
Manager Yi quickly bent down and saluted, "Back to the emperor, the Ronghua Palace has been surrounded by people. Not even a fly can fly out."
The emperor was silent for a moment and then stood up.
Manager Yi quickly followed, and the little **** carrying a lantern looked after him. He was like a long moving dragon in the dark night, rushing towards Ronghua Palace.
At this time in the past, the Ronghua Palace was brightly lit and very lively because of the emperor’s stay.
The same is true today, but everything is different.
The guards in helmets, holding sabers in one hand and torches in the other, surrounded Ronghua Palace like an iron barrel.
Especially in the imperial concubine’s bedroom, the eunuchs and maids were all tied tightly and kneeling in the courtyard, their faces ashen.
They were so arrogant because of the favored concubine on weekdays, but now they are so frightened and regretful.
A man's favor is unreliable, not to mention that this man is an emperor.
In the morning, someone even sent fresh fruit over, just because the imperial concubine liked to eat it.
As a result, the guards rushed in as soon as it got dark, ruthlessly shattering all the good things...
“Woo.” A palace maid couldn’t help it and cried softly.
Immediately, a guard stepped forward and kicked her hard until the maid held back her tears.
The other maids and eunuchs shrank their heads even more, wishing they could crawl into the cracks in the ground to feel safe...
In the main hall, the imperial concubine, who was dressed in crimson palace attire, also turned pale in shock.
Her personal maids, nuns, and eunuchs were all tied into rice dumplings.
Although she was not tied up, she could only sit on a chair and could not move a step, otherwise the guard's long knife would be put to her neck. She had some vague guesses, and her heart almost burst in panic, but she still had some luck.
When she acted, she was careful enough in her arrangements, and the emperor was not aware of it these days. Therefore, what happened today may be because the courtiers elected the second prince as the prince. The emperor was angry for a moment, but it was not because he discovered her methods...
“You are so bold, you are so brave!” The imperial concubine felt relieved for a while, and finally gathered enough confidence. Then she slapped her hand on the table, causing the golden phoenix with beaded hairpin on her head to keep shaking.
"How dare you break into Ronghua Palace? Don't you know this is my residence? When the emperor comes, I will definitely ask him to punish you severely!"
"No need, I'm already here." The emperor responded outside the door, and then stepped onto the threshold.
With a wave of his hand, Manager Yi waved his hand, and the guards immediately closed the door. Two people were left in the room to ensure the emperor's safety, while the rest retreated outside the door.
The imperial concubine's eyes were red, and she fell directly in front of the emperor in grievance, sobbing and crying.
“Your Majesty, you are finally here! Just now, these guards suddenly rushed in. Not only did they tie up my concubine’s **** and maid, they also refused to allow me to move around freely.
“Ugh, what mistake did I make to make them humiliate me like this? I really can’t live anymore!”
After saying this, the emperor had already sat down. The imperial concubine came forward and knelt beside his legs, slowly raising her face.
The beauty wept, and the pear blossoms were covered with rain. Under the illumination of the candlelight, the teardrops became more and more crystal clear.
The emperor was a little confused for a moment. After all these years, even though he knew that she had some relationship with the Queen Mother, he still loved her constantly and even allowed her to give birth to the second prince. Isn't it because of her beauty and weakness?
He originally thought that even if this woman had some selfish intentions, she would always cherish the friendship between them more.
What a pity, she ruined his twenty-year lifespan with only a few months left...
The emperor raised his hand and gently tidied the concubine's messy hair, and then slapped her hard in the next moment.
"Snapped!"
The imperial concubine was caught off guard and was beaten so hard that she fell to the ground.
She raised her head in surprise, covered her face, and shouted, "Your Majesty, why did you beat my concubine?"
The emperor's face was cold, with no warmth at all in his eyes.
“Do you still need me to remind you of what you have done?”
After saying that, he pointed to the incense burner in the corner of the room. Manager Yi immediately rushed over, took the incense burner and brought it to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine subconsciously shrank her neck, but still refused to admit it.
“Your Majesty, what’s wrong with this incense burner? Is there something wrong with it? You personally gifted it to me last year!”
“Yes, this is the tribute stove from the south. Just because you said you liked it, I had people move it to your place.” The emperor sneered, with a bit of sadness in his expression.
"So, you used the stove I gave you to poison me, right? You are really my dear concubine!"
"No, no, Your Majesty! I am unjustly accused! What kind of poison, I don't know!" The imperial concubine seemed to be frightened. She crawled forward and pulled the corners of her dragon robe, crying in horror and aggrievement.
“Your Majesty, I am in the Ronghua Palace every day. I rarely talk to outsiders and focus on teaching and taking care of the second prince! How could I have such a second thought and damage the Emperor’s dragon body? I beg Your Majesty to see clearly!”
"You won't shed tears without seeing the coffin. Okay, I'll let you win." The emperor pulled back his dragon robe, feeling very disappointed.
After all, she is a woman who has been doted on for so many years. If she simply confesses, she can still retain some of her past feelings.
But she was so quibbling, her skirt was dirty, her hair was disheveled, and she looked so embarrassed, it really made people feel completely unrecognizable and strange.
“Manager Yi, find all the things and bring the people up.”
