C310 Debate

"When I woke up earlier today and saw that the Esteemed Empress Lianfei was gone, I already knew about it. Later on, someone reported that the princess had gone to Lianfei Palace, so I brought someone to invite her." LI Fei quibbled, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

"But since we have already discovered that the person has disappeared, shouldn't we report it to the Emperor? Why did we report it to you, Lifei?

The emperor is busy with government affairs, how can I just trouble the emperor with everything? Besides, when I found out that Lianfei was gone today, the emperor was still in the morning court.

Initially, you said that I was the one who instigated people to poison Princess Lianfei, but you only came here to arrest her because I broke into her palace. Now, you also said that you came here because you found out that Lianfei was missing, but you received a report that I was going to poison Lianfei last night, yet you hid it from me and even allowed Lianfei to be sent to you with poisoned food. When you heard about Lianfei's disappearance, you intentionally waited for me in the courtyard before you barged in. One after another, Imperial Concubine Li, the ones who are truly scheming and merciless are you. " I talked a lot, not giving Lifei a chance to speak.

The more I spoke, the paler Lifei's face became. Panic filled her eyes, and even more so, her fear had been broken.

"You falsely claimed that I was the one who poisoned you, but I haven't even stepped out of the palace, including my maidservants, yet you've always insisted on me, and yet you can't speak properly, and look at how scared you are, but it seems like you can't do this for money, and you must have a handle in Lifei's hands, but you have to think carefully, I can do what Lifei can do, and furthermore, with the emperor here, you can't speak the truth, I promise you, as long as you speak the truth, you can guarantee your safety and your family." I turned my attention to the trembling palace maid.

"Do you still want to continue lying? This Emperor hates people who lie to me the most." The Emperor's eyes were sharp as he stared at the palace maid. It could be seen how furious he was at this moment.

The court ladies were frightened by the emperor, and they fell to the ground one by one. Then they knelt before me, grabbed my thighs, and burst into tears.

"Your Highness, I say, it's Imperial Concubine Li. She used the lives of my family members as a threat, I have no choice but to beg for mercy, Princess, my death is just my cheap life, dying is not worth it, but my family members can't die, they can't die!" Tears streamed down the face of the palace maid.

When the palace maid kneeled on the ground, the look in Consort Li's eyes had already changed.

"You lowly slave actually dared to frame me, are you tired of living?" In a fit of rage, Lifei charged forward and slapped the palace maid's face. The palace maid covered her face, which already had a clear slap mark on it. She looked at Lifei in fear, while Lifei kept raising her hand wanting to slap her again.

I grabbed Lifei's hand that she wanted to wave away, then I warned her with my eyes, "Lifei, are you trying to make things worse by exposing your true intentions?"

Being pushed by me, Li Fei was pushed back a few steps. The girl called Que Er quickly supported her and looked at me with resentment.

"What? You can't accept this? Fight me if you can't accept it." I looked at Que Er provokingly, and Que Er looked at me with anger, not daring to speak a word.

"Lifei, I've said long ago that what I hate the most are those dirty tricks in the harem. This is why I've never filled the harem. I've already reiterated it many times when I first let the four of you go. It looks like you've had a lot of good days and have gotten carried away." The Emperor's eyes were filled with disappointment and fury as he looked at Lifei.

Lifei began to tremble.

"Your majesty, your majesty, chenqie was wrong, my concubine was wrong. Chenqie was only so jealous that the princess could obtain the favor of the emperor. That's why she came out of this subordinate book at this time." When Lifei saw that the matter had been exposed, she kneeled down heavily on the ground and held the emperor's hand as she pleaded.

The emperor coldly swept a glance at the imperial concubine, before forcefully shaking his hand away. The imperial concubine then fell backwards, one by one.

"Servants, Lifei is the first to harm Lianfei, and the princess is the first to frame you." Servants, Lifei is the first to plot Lianfei, and the princess is the first to frame you. The emperor's order made Lifei feel as if she was struck by lightning. She fell limply to the ground, even forgetting to cry.

Your majesty, your majesty, this was actually a servant's idea. Your servant heard the rumors in the palace that the emperor doted heavily on the princess, and this servant was unwilling to accept it on behalf of his mistress. It was your servant's fault, and your servant deserved to die a thousand deaths. Que Er suddenly knelt down on the ground one by one, blocking all the crimes.

"Where did a maid like you get the guts to do this? You were also coerced." The emperor didn't believe what Que Er said at all, and wasn't even willing to give her a glance.

"How could this servant be coerced? This servant is speaking the truth. Your majesty, Imperial Concubine Li has been in the palace for many years, and my father has been loyal and devoted to the emperor for many years. I hope your majesty will not look down on the buddhist side, and just let Imperial Concubine Li go this time." Que Er was sincere.

However, the emperor's face immediately turned ashen. "Are you threatening me?"

"This servant doesn't dare. It's just that Your Majesty, the Empress is still one of the emperor's people after all, so it's normal for her to feel jealous. Your majesty, moreover, the Empress didn't hurt Esteemed Empress Lianfei at all." Que Er cried her heart out.

The emperor was silent, his eyes was conflicted and hesitant, while Han Guang, who was spectating coldly at the side, finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, we still need to consider this matter. After all, the power behind the Imperial Concubine Li cannot be underestimated." Han Guang whispered into the emperor's ear, but my hearing was different from normal people, so I could hear everything clearly.

The emperor still didn't make a decision. He looked at me. "Little Xing, what do you think we should do?"

In fact, I didn't feel too much, after all I was unharmed, and her methods were too low levelled, I didn't care too much about it. It was just as Que Er had said, she was just a woman's jealousy, and didn't do anything wicked, and I could still forgive her, but the emperor had always been very good to me, I have no way to repay his kindness, I am in a high position, there are too many helplessness, and I can tell that Imperial Consort Li is not simple. If he were to hastily punish her, there would definitely be trouble, but the emperor would still seek my opinion.

"Your Majesty, just as Que Er had said, the Imperial Concubine Li did not commit any grave mistakes. I returned the emperor's relieved smile.

The emperor's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He finally spoke up. "Imperial Concubine Li did make a mistake after all. Then you can stay in the palace and reflect on it for yourself. In the future, you can't come in and out without my permission." After saying that, the Emperor let out a heavy sigh.

I can feel the helplessness of the emperor. This is the sorrow of an emperor.

"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, your majesty." Lifei was overjoyed, kowtowing to him excitedly.

The emperor impatiently waved his sleeves, and Que Er struggled to help Lifei up, as the two walked out dejectedly.
