Chapter 509 What Have We Done Wrong
Anger flashed across Hongli's face.
He has been in poor health recently and has been coughing frequently, but the imperial physician could not find anything wrong.
The imperial physician only told him to take warming tonic and advised him to be pure and abstain from desires for a period of time and take good care of his health.
But even after he did so, he still coughed madly occasionally, but had no other symptoms, so he called someone from the Imperial Observatory to ask.
The reason given by the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory was that a small star had hit him.
And this little Xing is the evil creature born to Ruyi.
Before he finished asking questions, Ruyi bumped into Concubine Jia and was sent to the Shenxingsi by her.
Hongli's face darkened: "You wait here."
After saying that, he strode out.
Concubine Jia had probably been kneeling for too long, her face was pale, but there was still rage burning in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Hongli frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Concubine Jia opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, please punish me! After all, I punished your beloved!"
Hongli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to pull her: "Since you said it was your favorite, how could I scold my concubine for her? Then, she must have made some outrageous mistake again."
Concubine Jia's face turned red and white, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please let me find a place where no one is around to tell you!"
Hongli took her to the side hall. Just as he sat down, he saw her kneeling again. He frowned slightly and said, "You gave birth to four princes for me. I have always treated you with respect. If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to do this."
Concubine Jia did not stand up, but waited until Jinzhong left before gritting her teeth and saying, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so it is natural for him to like to keep some toys to relax, but I have to come out and be the bad guy!
Na Qing agreed, and actually asked Concubine Yao how...how to serve you in broad daylight in the Imperial Garden! And Concubine Yao was even more outrageous, she actually started teaching! What kind of teacher is she? I'm afraid she thinks she is..."
She shut up and gritted her teeth, "I am too ashamed to mention what they said!!! This is still the imperial palace. If even a word leaks out, we will no longer be human beings!"
Others would not say that Concubine Yao was rude and dissolute, they would only say that the Emperor's harem was like a brothel, with only intimacy in people's hearts, and no longer any awe!
Although she did not say the last sentence, her face was already showing a very dirty curse - it doesn't matter how dirty and smelly the emperor likes, he can just play with it behind closed doors, but he has actually brought about the frivolous and dissolute atmosphere in the palace, making them embarrassed as well!
Hongli's face almost twisted with anger: "How could they be so..."
It was one thing for him to play around, but for the concubines to bring it up in broad daylight...
His eyes were literally black and black; "I really stopped slapping her too early!"
If he had known this would happen, he should have asked someone to slap her in the face every day, so that she wouldn't have to let him get involved in such a big embarrassment.
After a pause, he suddenly realized something.
In the past few months, Concubine Rong was always sick and didn't see him. Even if they did meet, she would refuse to sleep with him...
His face darkened, he was really angry that Ruyi had no self-discipline and was getting cocky after getting a little favor. He said in a deep voice: "I asked Jinzhong to go, you did the right thing, go back, I won't punish you."
Concubine Jia's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He left with a grateful look on his face.
Hongli angrily called Jinzhong in: "What are you doing? Don't you know how to deal with the rumors in the palace?!"
Jinzhong knelt down quickly: "...I am a stupid servant, please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Hongli said angrily, "I think you are going to be the chief steward, otherwise how could you not know how Concubine Yao slandered my reputation in private?"
Jinzhong quickly confessed: "It was my negligence! I will check it out right away!"
Hongli's face was full of viciousness: "What are you investigating? There is evil in the palace, and the Imperial Concubine is ill. You just need to take my order and deal with the culprit!"
Jinzhong was overwhelmed: "Yes! ... I wonder how far you want to go?"
Hongli said in a deep voice, "Qing promised to be banished to the cold palace, and Concubine Yao...don't let her have any wounds on her body. You just need to teach her the proper etiquette of serving others."
Jinzhong understood: "Yes, I will go right away."
Hongli's eyes were gloomy. "Tell Concubine Yao that if she dares to stir up trouble and form cliques in the palace again, I don't mind sending Little Eighteen out of the palace to be raised by someone else."
Jinzhong quickly responded: "Yes!"
Hongli waved his hand and was annoyed for a while. He really had no intention of asking other questions, so he directly asked Jinbao to send away the envoy of the Imperial Observatory, and he went to find Concubine Rong.
As for Ruyi, although she and Qing Da Ying were sent to the Shenxingsi together, the maids in the Shenxingsi knew that they were the emperor's recent favorites, so they did not dare to "serve" them easily. They just politely sent them to the cleanest cell.
But even so, Qing Da Ying was terrified: "Sister Noble! What should we do? Will the Emperor come to save us? I just told you that the Emperor's physical strength is not as good as before, why did Concubine Jia have to say that we are lowly!"
Ruyi's face was tense: "What's the point of crying? Concubine Jia is a concubine. It would be easy for her to find fault with us, right?"
Qing agreed anxiously: "Wow, what should we do? The emperor likes us serving him so much, he will definitely come to rescue us soon, right?"
Ruyi responded twice, but she felt in her heart that things might not be going well.
She has been dealing with these young concubines for a long time. Logically, no one cared about it before, and no one dares to take the risk of offending the emperor to do so now.
But Concubine Jia just jumped out at the most unlikely time.
Concubine Jia, what do you want to do again? !
After waiting for a long time, finally, there was movement outside. From the voice, it sounded like someone from the emperor's side had come.
Qing agreed and was overjoyed: "The Emperor has come to save us! I knew that apart from us, no one in this palace would be willing to serve the Emperor together..."
Ruyi's face darkened: "Shut up!"
She stared at the door, and when she saw Jinzhong coming in, she became nervous.
However, she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope - perhaps the emperor would take into account her efforts to serve him?
Unfortunately she was destined to be disappointed.
Jinzhong announced the emperor's order: "Qing agrees to be banished to the cold palace, and Yao Guiren will be tortured for a day and a night, as a punishment for offending Concubine Jia."
Qing agreed and burst into tears immediately.
Ruyi looked straight at Jinzhong and said, "No need to say those high-sounding words. If you want to take her away, just take her away. I just want to ask you, why did you do that this time? We didn't do anything wrong. It was Concubine Jia who suddenly rushed over, slapped us twice, and then sent us directly to the Shenxing Division!"
