Grandmother reprimanded him and pleaded guilty to being punished.

The king came in fear of honor, but his son was afraid of begging for it.

In the empress dowager's palace of mercy, Rong'er knelt in the middle of the floor with the empress dowager, empress dowager, and Imperial Concubine Yi sitting on top. Rong'er smiled wryly to himself as he thought that it had been a long time since anyone had paid so much attention to her.

"Esteemed wife, this one is not without feelings. This one knows that you and Wang Jingzhi have a good relationship, but no matter how close your relationship is, the rules of the palace cannot be ignored. Amongst the later concubines, you were considered the first to enter the palace, don't you understand?" the Empress Dowager asked reproachfully.

"Furthermore, she even changed the clothes of a eunuch. How proper is this? How would the imperial concubine make the outsiders think of her?" The empress dowager scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Chenqie knows her wrongs." Rong'er didn't refute her as he lowered his head and said softly.

"The empress dowager, empress dowager, and concubine were also worried and respectful, but paid attention to their feelings. Considering her crimes, I hope you can take it lightly." The Imperial Concubine Yi hurriedly advised.

The empress dowager sighed, "My concubine, you've been in the palace for more than ten years, and you've experienced all sorts of things. You've also given birth to a prince and his daughter, and the previous year the emperor said that he would take you in as his concubine and confer you the title of the emperor's concubine, and that would be the greatest of all concubines. With your background, it would be a great favor for you, and this one has always thought of you as a sensible woman who knows what etiquette and rules are.

Hearing the empress dowager's painful words, Rong'er bent over and kowtowed. "This concubine has lost all trust in the empress dowager, empress dowager, and emperor." She had done it wrong, but if she was given another chance to do it again, she would still do it. People talk about feelings, and when they think about things with feelings, they forget their reason and their rules.

There was a momentary silence in the palace. Suddenly, the voice of a consultant came from outside. "The emperor has arrived."

Following the shout, Xuan Ye walked in. Rong'er raised her head to look at him. It had been a long time since she had seen the emperor, but she hadn't imagined that this would be the case.

Xuan Ye quickly glanced at Rong'er who was kneeling on the ground. He smiled at the empress dowager and the empress dowager and said, "Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Mother, I heard that Imperial Concubine had obeyed the imperial imperial decree, so I came to take a look.

The empress dowager nodded. "That's right, This Dowager, Her Majesty and the Imperial Concubine Yi are currently interrogating."

"Oh, what's going on? "Can you tell this to grandchild?" Xuan Ye sat down and asked.

"Imperial Concubine Yi, tell the emperor about it." The empress dowager chose Imperial Concubine Yi.

"Yes." The Imperial Concubine Yi stood up and blessed Xuan Ye, saying, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's like this. Yesterday, chenqie went to look for Zhi Zhi, you know, the empress dowager sent a royal decree that other than chenqie, the rest of the imperial concubines are not allowed to see Zhi Zhi, who would have thought that chenqie would see Rongqie there, and …" The Imperial Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment before looking at the empress dowager, who was staring at her intently. She continued in a soft voice, "Furthermore, she was wearing eunuch's clothes. All the palace people who were travelling with chenqie saw her."

"Your majesty, this concubine was really outrageous this time. Furthermore, she admitted her own guilt." Her Majesty replied.

Xuan Ye nodded and looked at Rong'er. "Your concubine, do you know your crime?"

"Chenqie knows her wrongs." Rong'er was neither humble nor haughty. She was thinking that the worst possibility was that she had been demoted. Or what? Such a crime shouldn't be fatal, right?

"My concubine, I ask you, are you abetted? Someone gave you a move? "Otherwise, how could you have gotten to the North End so easily?" Xuan Ye frowned as he stared at Rong'er. He wanted to refute Rong'er's words. As long as Rong'er summoned one or two palace helpers to take their place, they would have an explanation in front of the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

Rong'er heard what Xuan Ye meant and looked suspiciously at him. Xuan Ye's expression didn't change much. Rong'er shook his head lightly. "No, chenqie came up with this idea herself."

"You …" Xuan Ye was infuriated, but it wasn't appropriate for him to flare up.

Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine Yi came out and said, "Your majesty, chenqie had also told the empress dowager and empress dowager earlier that it was because of the deep feelings between concubines and concubines that she did such a thing. Now that she has confessed, I hope that Your Majesty, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will be let off lightly."

Hearing Imperial Concubine Yi's words, Xuan Ye nodded and looked at Rong'er: "Madam Rong, what do you have to say?" He thought to himself: Rong'er, please beg me. I'll definitely help you out of this predicament if you beg me.

Rong'er lightly shook his head and said, "Chenqie has nothing more to say and is willing to accept any punishment." She did not dare to beg the emperor, she was afraid of refusing. If she asked the emperor for forgiveness but the emperor ignored her, then she did not know what to do. After all, it had been too long since the emperor was by her side.

You …" Xuan Ye became even more angry. He was the emperor, so how could she let him lower his head first? The one who was stubborn at that time was Rong'er, but did she not want to fix it with him at all? Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and turned to face the empress dowager and empress dowager. "Since concubine Rong has confessed, then all of you can just watch and see. This matter is none of my business.

She knew that it had been almost four or five months since the emperor had summoned Rong'er to sleep, but seeing how the emperor had arrived today, it didn't seem like he was going to mind at all. She was old, so she didn't understand, and as she thought about this, she instructed softly, "How about this, a concubine can temporarily keep her feet closed. As for the punishment, let me discuss it with the empress dowager and the Imperial Concubine Yi.

"Empress Dowager, this matter has nothing to do with my palace maid. It was chenqie who asked her to go." Rong'er couldn't bear Xiaoqing's punishment and hurriedly said.

"As a palace maid, if you advise Master not to do something he shouldn't do, then begging for mercy is useless." After the empress dowager finished speaking, she continued, "Also, Your Majesty, it's about time for you to be granted death by your concubine. It'll be time for an explanation this month."

"I'll follow your grandmother's arrangements." Xuan Ye said softly.

"Empress Dowager …" "Don't..." When he heard that he was going to give her death, Rong'er's tears gushed down his face like a dam that was about to burst.

"My concubine, this time, I think of you as being sensitive to love and will consider being lenient against you. But you must remember, Wang Jingzhi is guilty of disloyalty to the Emperor and this crime is a capital offense that cannot be pleaded by you. "In addition, from today until the day Wang Jingzhi dies, you are not allowed to leave the palace. This time, the crime will be reduced to nothing. If you do it a second time, don't blame This Dowager for not saying the first words!" The empress dowager's expression was solemn as she spoke.

"Don't... "Old Ancestor, I beg of you, please don't die to respect me …" Rong'er had already lost his composure. She only thought that this would be her last chance to plead for the favor of Zhi Zhi. She would do her best …

"Honorable concubine, step down!" The empress dowager cried out, but Rong'er was already too sad to control himself as he knelt on the ground, crying and begging. The empress dowager frowned slightly and said, "Someone, send my concubine back to the palace!"

Rong'er was supported out. Tears and cries for help never stopped … As Xuan Ye watched Rong'er's figure disappear, he felt waves of pain in his heart … He could bear it if he couldn't see with his eyes, but when he saw it, his feelings were like an animal waking up from hibernation, ready to move at any moment …
