Chapter 426 is already very good
Yan Wan lay on the bed and looked at Hongli tenderly: "Your Majesty, you know that I have been with you from the beginning just to make you happy."
Hongli's eyes were deep: "I know that you never want much."
Compared to Ruyi, who is greedy but pretends to care about nothing.
Compared to his presumptuous sons who had their eyes on his throne.
She always did her job quietly, so that he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the harem.
She never asks for much, but some people, no matter how much you give them, it's still not enough.
Hongli said in a gentle voice, "Go to sleep. I will send the Queen back. I know you are worried about her health. I will ask Zhang Yun to prescribe medicine for her and leave Jingyu with the Queen as well."
Yan Wan smiled sincerely: "As long as I am with the emperor, I really don't have to worry about anything except enjoying the happiness."
Hongli thought she was really stupid. She was almost killed, yet she was so easily satisfied.
The more he felt pity for Yan Wan, the more he felt that Yong Zhang was unforgivable, stupid and vicious.
He tucked the quilt in for Yan Wan, then stood up to see the queen off, and told Jin Zhong, "Take good care of the Imperial Concubine, and don't let anyone disturb her."
Jinzhong knelt down: "I obey your order!"
After Hongli left with Empress Fucha and Jingjue, Jinzhong suppressed his anxiety and did not dare to go near the screen. He just told Chunchan, "If the Imperial Noble Consort feels unwell, Miss Chunchan should speak up immediately. If she needs anything, don't be afraid to bother her."
Chunchan's eyes were still red. Although she should be happy because she was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort in this round, she still felt distressed in her heart.
Why can Prince Xun get so much just by being born without doing anything, while my master has to pay so much to climb up step by step?
She knew what she should be grateful for. She was grateful that her master did not die in Qixiang Palace that year, and that their journey had been relatively smooth.
But maybe it was because the good days had lasted too long, and she really couldn't bear to leave.
She turned around and walked in quickly, but tears fell the moment she turned her head.
Kneeling on the footstool beside the bed, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Yan Wan gently stroked her hair: "It's just a little hardship, Chunchan, but for me, it's worth it."
She didn't know the path she had taken. She had suffered more and fell to the bottom of the pit countless times and climbed out again.
This time, she even became the Imperial Consort so early. As long as she continued to make no mistakes, she could safely... wait for his death.
She didn't open her eyes, but stroked Chunchan's hair again and again.
Chunchan hummed sullenly, glanced at the figure behind the screen, and said softly: "Master said it's worth it, I believe it, it must be worth it."
Jinzhong listened attentively to the subtle noises inside, not daring to get closer. Even though he shouted countless times in his heart, he wanted to ask her how she was, but he only dared to listen and didn't even dare to get closer.
He hoped that his master would always be high and mighty, instead of being like Ruyi, who was attached to Ling Yunche and seemed to be infinitely indulged by the emperor. In fact, in her heart, she had degraded him to the quagmire and felt that he was a dirty thing that could be slept with by anyone.
His master would always sit in the hall with his hands hanging down, always be honored with gold and jade, be high and mighty, and never be tainted by the dust. That is what his heart desires.
Everything was calm on their side, but in the Third Prince's tent, there was a rage and thunder, which made Yong Zhang and Yong Rong look pale and lifeless.
"Father, that's all slander! I didn't frame Concubine Ling..."
"Father, it's impossible for my third brother to do this! Someone must have framed my third brother. Father, we are your sons. How can you trust them instead of us?"
In response to them both, Hongli slapped them twice in a row.
When beating Yongrong, Hongli held back a little because of his young age. But when it came to Yongzhang, he slapped him directly to the ground.
Yong Zhang didn't even dare to shout. He hurriedly got up and knelt down trembling.
He is different from Yongrong. He has been working in the court, so he can feel more and more that the emperor is different from before. He really... looks like the late emperor!
He almost instinctively realized that the fact that the emperor could stand here and beat him was because he had already caught him with irrefutable evidence.
Yong Zhang knelt on the ground and cried, "Father, I just miss mother! Do you still remember mother? She always thinks of you! But in Father's heart, there is only Concubine Ling!"
Hongli said coldly: "Of course I remember your mother. I remember how she pretended to be an honest person but tried to murder the queen, oppressed the imperial concubine, and tried to seize my throne for you..."
He said a lot more, but Yong Zhang couldn't listen anymore: "Imperial Noble Consort? You actually made that woman the Imperial Noble Consort?!"
He didn't understand: "Why? What's so good about her? She's just a slave..."
Hongli slapped him in the face again with his backhand, without even leaning forward, but Yongzhang still felt extremely frightened.
Hongli said coldly: "I am beating you today because you plotted to murder my stepmother, because you are stupid and vicious, and you even tried to use Mongolia without caring about the stability of the Qing Dynasty. I am beating you for not knowing how to plan before taking action, and you have flaws everywhere, which makes me lose face."
Yong Zhang burst into tears: "Father, you only see what I did, but don't care why I did it?"
Hongli said coldly: "As a prince, you don't care about the stability of the Qing Dynasty. As a son, you don't care about my wishes. As a minister, you are unbridled. Yongzhang, your title of Xunjunwang is unnecessary, and you don't need to enter the court in the future. You are really useless."
Yong Zhang's body went limp: "Father Emperor! Are you going to destroy your own son for a woman?"
Hongli sneered and said, "It's not that I want to abolish you, but if the Qing Dynasty falls into the hands of a fool like you, I will not be able to face my ancestors!"
Yong Zhang’s eyes went dark, and he knew that he was finished, completely finished.
All his methods were just to make Concubine Ling drink mushroom soup to produce hallucinations. He would then interrogate her a few more times in court, and she would naturally be exposed for having killed his mother.
It’s just that, but the Emperor is so cruel!
Seeing Hongli was about to leave, Yongzhang shouted and tried to chase him, but was pinned to the ground by the guards.
"Father Emperor! Father Emperor! You favored a treacherous woman and allowed Wei Yanwan and Ulanara to murder my mother! You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!"
Yongrong saw his brother being pressed to the ground with blood all over his face. He was so scared that he wet his pants and sat on the ground, unable to get up.
Hongli walked to the door, turned his head and looked at his two sons, and said coldly: "Yongzhang and Yongrong, you are not used to the climate here. Although I want to educate them to work for the Qing Dynasty, I also have to take care of their health. After returning to Beijing, let the Imperial Hospital take turns to treat them. When they are better, they can leave the house again."
Yong Zhang stared at Hongli's back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Emperor Father!
You want to imprison my son!
You are so cruel and ruthless!
[Look, my dears]
