Chapter 213 Your Royal Father Knows
Hongli looked at Ruyi, then at Yongqi, and then called out, "Where's Jinzhong? Ask him to bring Hai Ying in."
Soon, Jinzhong came in with Hailan whose cheeks were red and swollen.
Hongli looked at Hailan calmly: "You let Yongqi eat cinnabar, do you admit it?"
Hai Lan was startled and subconsciously looked at Yong Qi, her eyes full of disbelief and anger of betrayal.
From her reaction, Hongli knew that this was basically true.
He was so angry that he became calmer: "Speak."
Hai Lan shook her head and denied: "No! I didn't! Your Majesty! I am innocent! It must be Concubine Ling who told Yong Qi to say that!"
Hongli looked at her expressionlessly: "From beginning to end, has anyone in this room ever said that the thing I just asked you was said by Yongqi?"
Hailan's face turned pale and she felt completely exhausted.
Hongli shook the beads in his hand and said calmly: "If you agree to Kliyete's murder of the prince, you should be executed..."
Ruyi couldn't help but stand up: "Your Majesty!!!"
She walked quickly to Hongli's side, knelt down, and pressed her hands on his knees: "Your Majesty! Hailan is Yongqi's biological mother! You can't kill her! Otherwise, wouldn't you become his mother's murderer?!"
Hongli's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he subconsciously followed her words and said: "But if I don't kill her..."
Yan Wan noticed Hongli's strange reaction the first time, pushed Ruyi's hand away, and tightly grasped Hongli's big hand: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Hongli's eyes suddenly cleared up, and he looked at Ruyi in horror as she fell to the ground and subconsciously covered her stomach. At that moment, he was horrified and wanted to ask Jinzhong to drag Ruyi away and beat her to death.
But, he didn't say it in the end.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but his mouth seemed to be stuck. Every little detail of him and Ruyi kept flashing through his mind. Although there was no sound, it was so noisy that it made his head hurt.
Yan Wan shook Hongli's hand and said, "Your Majesty! Although Concubine Xian is a little anxious, she is right. For Yongqi's sake, it is not easy to kill Hai Da Ying. But how can we stop her from making trouble?"
Hongli endured the headache and breathed slowly: "Then, demote Keliyete to a lowly slave in Xinzheku, remove her surname, grant her the surname Hai, and let her clean toilets in Xinzheku for the rest of her life!"
Hailan’s eyes widened, everything went dark before she collapsed to the ground.
Ruyi didn't care about herself: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you can't do this! She gave birth to your children..."
Hongli looked straight at Ruyi: "Ruyi, you are not...really having an affair with her?"
Ruyi's face flushed: "No! Your Majesty! How could you think of me like this?!"
She stood up angrily: "Your Majesty clearly said before that he believed in my heart, but now he actually said such heartbreaking words! If you really don't believe it, then just kill me!"
Hongli really wanted to nod, but he couldn't bear to do so. Although his imperial upbringing told him to kill her, his brain wouldn't allow it.
He took a deep breath and said, "Give orders. From today onwards, no one in the palace is allowed to discuss this lowly slave Hai from the Xinzheku. The fifth prince Yongqi's mother is only Concubine Mei. Anyone who disobeys orders will be punished for disobeying an imperial order!"
Jinzhong immediately agreed: "Yes! I will do it right away!"
Hongli glanced at Hailan with disgust: "Drag her away!"
Jinzhong agreed again, dragged the man out, randomly picked a young eunuch, stood on the steps and told him the emperor's will, and finally said:
"This Madam Hai has offended the popular Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei, and is even trying to murder the Fifth Prince. Tell the people below to be more cautious and not show any inappropriate compassion. I have to deal with this personally!"
The young eunuch who was ordered to deal with Hai Lan immediately responded and called two palace maids to drag the person away together.
That solved one problem. Jinzhong curled his lips in pleasure, then quickly suppressed his expression and walked into the hall with a serious face, waiting for the follow-up.
And the sequel will come in the blink of an eye.
Ruyi lost Hai Lan, and she was disappointed and heartbroken that the emperor did not believe her. She was also angry that Wei Yanwan was one step ahead of her and was so insidious and cunning that she actually instigated Yongqi to rebel. She was full of resentment, but she did not show any of it on her face.
"…The Emperor has already punished Hai Lan, so don't be angry anymore. It's better to deal with Ling Fei's mother's matter, so that Ling Fei won't be frightened and her fetus will be disturbed!"
Hongli looked at her deeply and said, "Empress Xian, this is Concubine Ling's family affair. You are always sensible. Why don't you go back to Yikun Palace first? I will visit you later."
Ruyi curled the corner of her mouth and glanced at Madam Wei.
Madam Wei hurriedly raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What I just said is of great importance. Let Empress Xian listen to it!"
She shouted without caring about anything: "Wei Yanwan, this rebellious girl, used witchcraft to bewitch you, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Xian!"
Shupin, who had been silent the whole time, turned pale with fear and stood up suddenly: "Witchcraft?!"
She suddenly looked at Yan Wan, and seeing her tragic and numb expression, she finally understood why she reminded herself and Concubine Mei that day but did not explain in detail.
This Mrs. Wei!
Damn it!
He actually used this crime that warrants extermination of nine generations of his clan to harm his own daughter!
Madam Wei was not familiar with Yihuan, but seeing that Yihuan followed Concubine Xian in so warmly, she thought Yihuan was also Concubine Xian's person, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Wei Yanwan is extremely rebellious, she wants to be the queen! She wants to be the queen mother!"
Shupin stared at Madam Wei and said, "Madam Wei, if there really is witchcraft, then you will be killed no matter what. Why did you come to report it?"
Madam Wei was shocked: "I am going to die too? I have sacrificed my own family for the sake of justice, and I am going to die too?"
Shupin sneered, "Why? Since ancient times, how many families in history books have quarreled and been exterminated because of witchcraft, and no one has escaped. Why do you think you are so special that you can escape this disaster?"
Mrs. Wei suddenly panicked and subconsciously looked at Ruyi.
Ruyi's face froze slightly, and she looked at Hongli: "Your Majesty, we don't know whether this is true or not. What if Madam Wei misunderstood? It's better to check it first, so as to avoid it being a misunderstanding in the end."
Madam Wei was a little unsure, but thinking that she and Ruyi were in the same boat, she immediately said, "It's in the four corners of Yongshou Palace! If you dig, you'll definitely find it!"
She admitted it readily, but Yan Wan covered Yongqi's ears and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, please ask Yongqi to go back first. He is still a child and his body has been abused. How can he bear this?"
Hongli glanced at Ruyi and Madam Wei with gloomy eyes, then waved his hand and asked Yanwan to arrange someone to send Yongqi off.
Yongqi looked at Yanwan worriedly.
Yan Wan touched his forehead and said, "Go ahead. Don't worry about your majesty. Your majesty has done nothing wrong. Your father knows that."
Ruyi looked at the loving mother and filial son and smiled coldly.
