Confronted before the king, calm, a thousand questions to silence;

The Emperor was angered by the provocation and swore to find out the truth.

In Changchun Palace, Jingzhi sat by the warm brick bed without a word. Ling Xiu-er, who had heard the news, also sat by the side, sighing softly.

"Wei'er, you're here too." Rong'er walked into the hall, and when she saw him there, she asked with a puzzled expression.

Ling Xiu-er nodded, "That's right. I heard that the Emperor turned the tables on his concubine, so I was a little worried about his concubine, so I came to take a look."

Rong-er looked strangely up at Toshiba. Toshiba nodded and said softly, "Toshiba knows I told her I had no hidden ailments."

"Yes, that's why I'm worried about concubines." Ling Jiao'er softly sighed with concern.

Ronger nodded, then looked at Xiu-Er. She couldn't completely let go of her past grudges, but after all, more than a decade had passed, and Jingzhi had been living with her in the Changchun Palace, and they had been going around together for a long time. Xiu-Er had become a lot more modest, so she slowly let go of her heart as well. It was just that she had always thought that only she knew about this, and now Xiu-Er also knew about it, which surprised her.

"Jing`er!" "It may not be good. The Emperor may know that you have no hidden ailments."

"Huh?" "What do you mean?"

"We asked around. The emperor called the imperial physicians and asked them about the health status of the imperial concubines. Tonight, they turned over your cards. Don't you think it's strange?" Rong'er said with a bit of nervousness.

"Why would the emperor care so much about everyone's health? Never before. "

We need to think about what to do at night. Right now, the emperor knows that you have no hidden ailments, but he didn't directly come to punish you for your crimes. Instead, he turned over your cards. Ronger thought. "So, I think you and the Emperor told the truth that you had no hidden ailments, and that you could not say that you were ill. I beg the Emperor to forgive me."

"Will the Emperor forgive me for being a concubine?" Ling Jiao asked worriedly.

Rong'er lightly shook her head. She didn't know, but in her heart, she believed that it wasn't important for the emperor whether he served her or not, but whether or not she lied to the emperor made this matter even more important. All these years, the emperor had been placing more and more importance on his authority, and if it wasn't for the emperor not allowing the empress to challenge his authority, the empress wouldn't have chosen death.

"Jing'er, don't give up on yourself so easily. You only …" Rong'er glanced at him and continued, "Don't say anything else, it's just because you're scared!"

Ronger stared at her in puzzlement. Rongzi smiled as he looked at Ronger and said, "Ronger, in the past two years or so, I've always thought that there would always be such a calamity. I've been waiting, and actually, I'm very tired.

"Jing`er!" Rong'er worriedly called out to her. Jingzhi only smiled, unable to see her mood. The previous panic she had had was long gone. Yes, this matter, perhaps she could only wait.

Yesterday, the Imperial Concubine Yi was sick, she went to visit her, and the Imperial Concubine Yi told her that after the Queen collapsed, the imperial concubines were all in a bad mood, many of them were sick, in order to stop a tragedy from happening in the palace, the Emperor was more considerate towards them, he was very surprised at that time, he suddenly discovered that these women in the palace were indeed less concerned about him, yes, he was concerned about them, so yesterday he sent over the imperial doctors, took all the files of the concubines and brought them here, and asked them questions.

The monarch's heart was sensitive. He was high and mighty, and everyone spoke kindly in front of him, so he often felt unsafe. He did not know whether these courteous officials in front of him were lying or not, and of course, his imperial concubine was one of them.

"Consultant shop!" Xuan Ye called out loudly.

"Yes, your servant is here!" The counselor who had been waiting at the door rushed in at the sound of his voice.

"Go and fetch my concubine right now and bring her directly to this study room!" Xuan Ye instructed.

"Your servant commands!" Seeing the seriousness on Xuan Ye's face, coupled with the fact that Xiaoqing had come to inquire about the situation today, the consultant had a feeling that this matter was quite serious.

Walking out of the sedan chair, Jingzhi calmed himself down. He still felt nervous in his heart and took a deep breath, no matter what, he had to pass this trial tonight. This was fate, he couldn't escape, he just had to walk under the flower pots, follow the consultant, and walk up the platform step by step. It was very quiet around him, and with every step, Jingzhi seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

He walked into the study of the West Warm Pavilion in the Palace of Dry and Clear. Last year, this place had been changed to the Southern Study Room, which was where Xuan Ye studied.

"Chenqie kowtows to Your Majesty." He did not dress himself deliberately, and his clothes were still the same as before.

Xuan Ye didn't say anything, but stared closely. He suddenly shouted, "Consort, do you know your crime!"

"Chenqie knows her wrongs!" Upon hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly kneeled down and said.

"Oh, what are you guilty of?" Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows.

"The emperor wouldn't ask if chenqie was aware of her crimes for no reason at all, so chenqie must have made a mistake. That's why the emperor asks." Zhizhi was not afraid as she replied softly.

This woman, she was very beautiful. All these years, he had known her because she had been with the filial queen for so many years, but he truly did not understand her, his imperial concubine was too many, it was impossible for him to understand everyone clearly, it was just that the current her, who was kneeling in front of him, gave him a feeling, a feeling that he could not describe. "Stay here to sleep tonight."

"Your majesty, pardon this concubine, but I can't comply." Sergei whispered.

"Why?" He wanted to know why all the women in the harem wanted to be pampered by him and not her.

"Your concubine is afraid. Your majesty, please forgive me." He looked up and said firmly.

"This is an imperial edict. Do you want to defy it?" Xuan Ye shouted.

"Chenqie doesn't dare …" Zhi Zhi was rapidly thinking about how to deal with this situation.

"If you don't dare, then come and sleep with me tonight." Xuan Ye firmly said.

Zhi Zhi lowered her head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her head and fearlessly said, "Your majesty, please don't force chenqie …"

Her expression told him that if he forced her, she would commit suicide, just like how she would a filial queen would. She suppressed the anger in her heart, slightly closing her eyes, and looked at Wang Jingzhi with narrowed eyes, "Tell me, what is it?"

Jingzhi was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, not saying a single word!

"Pah!" Xuan Ye casually threw the bowl of tea on the table in front of Zhi Zhi. The bowl shattered into pieces, causing Zhi Zhi to tremble in fear. I'm asking you a question! "

Zhizhi didn't know how to lie, but she really didn't want to say it, so she chose to remain silent!

The rage in Xuan Ye's heart burned hotter and hotter. The authority of his Sovereign King was being challenged by this woman who was kneeling down. He could not tolerate this. He absolutely could not tolerate this. He loudly shouted, "Someone!"

The counsellor and several eunuchs heard the news and hurriedly ran in. "Servants, take my concubine and lock her up. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the room or see anyone!" Staring intently at the kneeling concubine, a hint of pride appeared on her face. She suddenly thought of Rong'er, who had surprised them all those years ago. Actually, the two of them had similar temperaments, right? He will investigate this matter! Definitely!
