Chapter 98

Lin Jinxiu can't let go of such a good opportunity.

Sure enough, at this time, after listening to Lin Jinxiu's words, an Miaoer immediately took over the words and said, "maybe someone has been favored, so even the Empress Dowager doesn't pay attention to you."

The voice is very small. It sounds like you don't dare to say it, but it makes this statement more credible.

If huifangyi is so favored, isn't an Miaoer afraid to talk nonsense.

This makes it hard for even Chengming to say anything. If he continues to speak for Liu Ruyan, he will be more honest about Liu Ruyan's crime of being spoiled and arrogant.

When the imperial doctor arrived at Zichen palace, Liu Ruyan just woke up. Liu Ruyan's head was still a little dizzy because of the side effects of being addicted to smoke.

"Madam, you are awake!"

Hong'er was surprised and hurriedly helped Liu Ruyan put on her shoes. Zhen'er brought up the toiletries prepared early in the morning and waited on Liu Ruyan.

"What time is it now?" Liu Ruyan looked out of the window and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Madam, the time of day has passed. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager has passed the east gate by now..." hong'er handed Liu Ruyan the face washing mask and said, "just now, the slaves can't wake you up. I thought you were ill."

Liu Ruyan was really surprised and his eyes widened. After reacting, he hurried to put on makeup.

However, when she rushed to the east gate, the people in the east gate had already dispersed.

On the Empress Dowager's side, the concubines are still adding fuel and vinegar. Since an Miaoer opened this mouth, other things naturally can't be taken care of.

Just as Lin Jinxiu said, her huifangyi is so exclusive. There are many people who are jealous and hot. As long as she has a head, she is not afraid that no one will add firewood and fire.

indeed.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. Finally, she couldn't help it. She asked, "it's said that your majesty likes this huifangyi most. Since she is your Majesty's favorite concubine, why don't you even want to see her mourning for her family."

"Where's huifangyi?"

Lian Chengming's face suddenly darkened. He knew that Liu Ruyan might make enemies with the princess because of this honor, but he didn't expect to be so lonely.

"Xu is ill. Huifangyi just got smallpox a few days ago. I think it's because the sea is not well. I'm afraid of being ill and the Empress Dowager."

However, before Lian Chengming spoke, an Miaoer said again.

The previous sentence still accused Liu Ruyan of being arrogant and not paying attention to the Empress Dowager,. With this sentence, I'm talking for Liu Ruyan?

Afraid he was not so kind, Lian Chengming frowned and looked at an miao'er.

An miao'er covered her face with a handkerchief and avoided the sight of Lian Chengming.

At the next moment, someone in the palace immediately preached, "huifangyi arrives -"

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed greatly. Looking at Liu Ruyan who hurried here and was still breathing heavily, the Empress Dowager only felt a burst of anger rush into her heart.

Liu Ruyan knelt to the ground and saluted the empress dowager, but he couldn't hear the Empress Dowager's call for a long time, so he had to kneel all the time.

The Empress Dowager said angrily, "are you ill? I'm looking at her. She's fine!"

"I'm afraid it's all made up to deceive the emperor!"

As soon as the words of the Empress Dowager's accusation came out, Lin Jinxiu and an Miaoer immediately burst into joy. Lin Jinxiu looked at Liu Ruyan with a white face and was laughing waiting to see a good play.

"How could the emperor be blinded by such a charming thing?" the Empress Dowager thought she was really angry and accused Liu Ruyan one after another. It was hard to see a face.

Lian Chengming glanced at Liu Ruyan, who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't move. He couldn't help but say, "there may be some misunderstanding. Don't be angry, empress mother. Let's listen to her explanation for the time being."

"Huifangyi's smallpox is true. So many people in the palace are watching. She can hide it from her son-in-law, but she can't hide it from the imperial doctor?"

After this, the eyes of all the people focused on Liu Ruyan, waiting for Liu Ruyan to make an explanation for the Empress Dowager.

Lin Jinxiu couldn't help muttering. At this time, her majesty still helped her speak. Such a treacherous act will be punished directly. Huifangyi's eloquence is like a spring. I'm afraid the black one will be white to her at that time.

Just wanted to say something, the red orchid behind her gently pulled Lin Jinxiu's sleeve and motioned Lin Jinxiu not to talk any more.

Remembering that she had just said something wrong because she was too anxious, Lin Jinxiu's words came to her throat, and she just held back, and half a sentence was no longer said.

Everything is a foregone conclusion. Let's see what waves this huifangyi can turn out.

Lin Jinxiu thought, then restrained her look and looked at Liu Ruyan attentively.

Liu Ruyan didn't argue for himself, but bent over and saluted the Empress Dowager again and said, "when the Empress Dowager returned to the palace today, my concubine and I failed to come to the palace for some reason. For whatever reason, it was unfilial. My concubine and I were wrong and won't argue for themselves. It's really a punishment. Please bring down the crime."

"But a few days ago, I heard that the Empress Dowager was going to return to the palace. My concubine began to prepare the gift for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace early in the morning. I also asked the Empress Dowager to accept the gift for my sincere sake."

"My ministers and concubines must sincerely repent, like what happened today, never twice."

With that, hong'er behind Liu Ruyan understood and immediately got up with the gift in front of the Empress Dowager and gave the gift to the old mammy around the Empress Dowager.

At first, the old lady didn't dare to answer. When she saw the Empress Dowager nodding, she accepted the box in hong'er's hand.

"I'm a reasonable person. No wonder the emperor likes you so much." the Empress Dowager's eyes changed, and her previous anger was much less.

Liu Ruyan pleaded guilty so easily, and Lin Jinxiu and others were really surprised.

Just listen to the Empress Dowager again: "but today, it's true that you are proud of being spoiled. If you don't punish it, someone will accuse us in the royal family of not understanding etiquette in the future. You can't break the rules, so go to the Buddhist hall and kneel."

"Empress dowager, you don't have to be too angry. Huifangyi has always been used to doing so." Lin Jinxiu hurriedly met the empress dowager, gave Liu Ruyan a look on her knees, and followed the Empress Dowager forward.

"Yes, huifangyi is arrogant and domineering. The Empress Dowager has never paid attention to her, not to mention us..."

An miao'er also continued to talk, covering her face with a handkerchief, looking very wronged.

"Empress dowager, according to the ministers and concubines, this from huifangyi must not be a good thing."

She whispered a word, and the people around her immediately echoed. The concubines were so noisy that the Empress Dowager had a headache.

"That's enough." Lian Chengming couldn't listen any more. "It's OK to chew your tongue on weekdays. You talk a lot when you take the Empress Dowager back to the palace today?"
