All the witnesses and dramas are hard to save, and Rong'er's heart is sad as he explores the truth.
A guilty conscience, spitting out the truth because of what he said.
Yesterday, Rong'er had sent word to Xuan Ye that he was going to see Xuan Ye. The counselor came over, and sent a message to Xuan Ye, saying that this matter had been handed over to the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Yi, telling Rong'er not to ask about it anymore and not to help out. The counselor secretly told her that the emperor seemed to have no intentions of saving his wife this time, and that Rong'er shouldn't have too much hope.
She was feeling extremely frustrated. She still couldn't sit still, and decided to go to the Imperial Concubine Yi to find out what was going on. Rong'er still had a big question in her mind, the emperor had already decided to give a lighter punishment for this matter. Who was the one who brought this matter to the empress dowager, and who knew the truth of this matter? According to the consultant, Liang Jiu Gonggong was the only one the emperor sent to investigate this matter. Only the emperor, Liang Jiu Gonggong, and the three of them knew about this matter in the Palace. He had asked Liang Jiu Gonggong specifically, and the emperor had also asked.
"My concubine, you're a rare guest." Imperial Concubine Yi smiled faintly.
On the other hand, since the Imperial Concubine Yi was in charge of the imperial harem, there were many people who came to befriend her every day, and not many more than just her, so it was indeed a bit sudden for them to suddenly come today. Thinking about it, they did not intend to beat around the bush here, so he directly said, "Imperial Concubine Yi, you know that I entered the palace in the same year as you, so I heard that you and the empress dowager have a deep relationship. I also heard that you and the empress dowager came to investigate the case, so I wanted to ask about it."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Imperial Concubine Yi gently nodded and slowly stood up. She took two steps and said, "Esteemed wangfei, from my point of view, this case is considered complete evidence. She herself did not deny it, so … I'm afraid we'll die for sure. "
"Huh?" Rong'er's heart tightened, and his voice trembled as he slowly asked, "Dang …" Is there really no hope for us anymore? "
Looking at Rong'er's expression, Imperial Concubine Yi suddenly lowered her head and said softly: "It's very difficult, in fact … I truly did not expect this to happen. I did not do it intentionally, so I hope that you do not blame me. "
Rong'er felt pain in his heart and shook his head lightly. "Imperial Concubine Yi received the imperial concubine's imperial decree to subdue your concubine. Your concubine won't blame you."
"No …" Imperial Concubine Yi looked up and said, "It's not this, it's because …" The Imperial Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment before muttering, "I subconsciously told it to the empress dowager while they were chatting. Who would've thought that the empress dowager told the empress dowager …"
"What?" Rong'er suddenly raised his head and looked at Imperial Concubine Yi, "What did you say? You told Her Majesty? "What did you tell Her Majesty?"
"A few days ago, when the concubines were chatting with me about you, we talked about the matter of the concubine and your confinement. No one knew why, but when we were chatting later on, the concubine said that she heard that the reason was because the concubine was disloyal to the emperor and had the jade pendant for a relationship with a man outside the palace. At that time, I felt that it was inconceivable, because the concubine was a real person, but I was curious about it. Imperial Concubine Yi looked at Rong'er.
Rong'er continued, "I didn't expect the empress dowager to bring this matter to the empress dowager. The two elders thought this was a very serious matter for the imperial family, so they paid great attention."
The Imperial Concubine Yi raised her head and said sincerely, "Actually, I feel very uncomfortable. If my concubine is sentenced to death, I always felt that I was the one who harmed her, and it was all my fault for not keeping the door open with my words. But if she is truly disloyal to the emperor, then it is indeed her fault."
"Did your concubine tell you?" Rong'er raised her eyebrows. "How did she know?"
"I don't know, but she said it was from the palace. Perhaps the people around Jing`er had gotten the news." The Imperial Concubine Yi said softly.
Rong-er nodded. Did Sergei really accidentally pass this information to the court lady next to him? She still didn't understand this question, but there were other doubts in her heart, "Imperial Concubine Yi, chenqie has matters that I don't understand. Didn't the empress dowager make a rather secret matter known to everyone? Isn't this affecting the prestige of the royal family even more? "
"I don't know who my concubine is, but I heard that …" The Imperial Concubine Yi said hesitantly.
"What did you hear?" Seeing that the Imperial Concubine Yi wanted to say something, Rong'er asked.
"It's a bit disrespectful to say these words, but I don't know if it's the right thing to say. But if it's true, the empress dowager will definitely mete out a punishment." Imperial Concubine Yi shook her head and said.
The more Imperial Concubine Yi said this, the more anxious Rong'er became, "Imperial Concubine Yi, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about what you have told me. It's just that this matter concerns Jingzhi's life, and Rong'er really wishes to know about it."
"Esteemed wangfei, I know your character and believe you. Actually, this rumor isn't that good for the empress dowager, you should have heard some bad rumors before, right? They say that after the emperor passed away, the empress dowager …" Although people have not dared to say it openly, many people will think it this way. Now that a concubine in the palace is disloyal to the emperor, the empress dowager has severely punished her and it is precisely because she told the world that she cannot tolerate such a thing. Thus, it is even more impossible for her to do something that would let the emperor down. "
"This …" It was not that they had not heard rumors of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Dorgon, but rather, there were whispers coming from behind the scenes. The late emperor and the empress dowager did not have a good relationship with each other, and some people who had spread the news swore that they would not talk about it, though Rong'er had not allowed them to discuss it, and no one dared to speak of it in front of her. The empress dowager relied on this matter to explain her attitude towards this matter, to show her innocence. It was very possible.
"So, you, your concubine, can you save yourself by respecting your concubine?" Imperial Concubine Yi sighed lightly.
"Even the Emperor can't save him?" Rong'er looked at Imperial Concubine Yi with sorrow.
"Honorable concubine, to be honest, when I and the empress dowager began investigating this case, we actually had to consult the emperor regarding the conviction and other matters." The Imperial Concubine Yi thought for a moment, "I believe that the Emperor wishes to commit the crime of insubordination, and now that his concubine is disloyal to him, everyone knows that. If he doesn't respect his concubine, then where is his dignity?"
Rong'er didn't know how she managed to leave the Palace, but she felt that her heart was in turmoil. She had to be clear, the Imperial Concubine Yi told the empress dowager about the concubine, and the concubine told the Imperial Concubine Yi. But how did the concubine know? She believed that Jingzhi would never tell her concubine about this, and she knew it in such detail, even including Jingzhi's jade pendant. Could it be that Jingzhi's secret had been accidentally leaked by the palace maid at her side? In addition, it wasn't that the Emperor couldn't interfere, but that he didn't want to. If he didn't save Zhi Zhi, then everyone would stop saving him. Was Zhi going to die? Thinking of this, her tears couldn't help but roll down her face.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Prince Rong, who was standing beside Rong, asked curiously when he saw his mother's tears.
"Constitution!" Rong'er quickly wiped away the tears on his face and pulled Rongxian into his arms, "It's nothing, Grandma is nothing. "Xian`er, in the future, you might never be able to meet your first mother again."
"Why? Madam, the Constitution really wants to honor the Madam. The constitutional son needs to pay homage to the head mother. " Rongxian did not understand why his mother had said that.
"Constitution …" Tears rolled down her face again. Rong'er didn't know what to do. How could she save him? She was powerless, truly powerless.
