Chapter 211: Drag and Slap
Hongli looked at Mrs. Wei, whose face was full of hesitation, and for a moment, he wanted to just kill her.
I don’t know if it’s the evil spirit in Ruyi or if he hasn’t thought it through yet, but now he actually wants to back out and doesn’t want Madam Wei to finish this drama.
But just as the murderous intent in his eyes appeared, he heard Jinzhong coming to report outside the door: "Your Majesty, Empress Xian brought Empress Shupin, Hai Yingda, and the Fifth Prince here."
The anger in Hongli's eyes flashed away: "They came at the right time!"
When he thought that Ruyi had even brought Yongqi with her, he became even more furious.
Yongqi is already the child of Concubine Mei, but Ruyi still dares to send the vicious woman Hailan to Yongqi again and again, how audacious she is!!!
He said coldly: "Since they are here, let them in!"
Jinzhong heaved a sigh and hurried to meet him.
When they reached the door, they saw Ruyi pretending to look into the yard and asked with a smile, "What happened? Why are so many people kneeling? Could it be that Concubine Ling is about to give birth?"
Jinzhong wanted to tell her to stop pretending. She could hardly hide the gloating in her eyes: "Empress Xian, Concubine Shu, Fifth Prince, Hai promised, the Emperor invites you in."
After a pause, he said, "Don't bring the people around you in."
Rong Pei frowned: "If the servants can't wait to go in and serve the masters, how can the masters talk and do things?!"
Jinzhong said coldly: "If Aunt Rongpei wants to die, please come in."
His implication was obvious, and Shupin immediately said to her chief maid, "Just wait at the door. No matter what happens inside, don't stick your head out to listen."
The head palace maid was a little worried about her, but she always listened to her, so she immediately agreed and obediently retreated to the place farthest from the entrance of Yongshou Palace.
Rong Pei glared at the other maids from Yongshou Palace who were also preparing to leave: "Do you want to be cowards?!"
Those palace maids and eunuchs had no words to grievance and cursed Rong Pei in their hearts. In this palace, everyone knew that Eunuch Jinzhong had always been considerate of the concubines and palace maids and never talked much. Generally speaking, as long as he gave a reminder, it meant that there was real concern for their lives.
If Rong Pei wants to die, that's her business, why should she drag them into this? !
Lian Yun didn't care about that, gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Master, you are smart, there may be something in here that I can't stand, if I go in, I will die! You have always been kind and considerate to your servants, you will definitely not take me with you, right?!"
Ruyi was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but her face was full of tenderness: "Just wait outside, don't be afraid, it's okay."
She wanted to take Rong Pei in, and Rong Pei also wanted to go in, so the master and servant went in together.
Seeing this, several palace maids that Hai had agreed to follow Lian Yun and slipped away.
Jinzhong led the way in front, wearing a red dragon robe. With his tall and slender figure and excellent temperament, he was very pleasing to the eyes.
Ruyi looked at Jinzhong's back and always felt that what Ling Yunche said was giving face to Wei Yanwan.
Given Wei Yanwan's mercenary nature, how could she let go of such a useful imperial steward when Jinzhong was willing? She must have seduced him personally and used him for her own benefit.
Pity.
Jinzhong was originally a good person, but since he was involved with Wei Yanwan and was jealous of Ling Yunche, he could not be used by her and had to be dealt with together.
When the group arrived at the main hall, Ruyi smiled and nodded to Jinzhong, then stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
Seeing Madam Wei kneeling and Wei Yanwan sitting next to Hongli, her face darkened for a moment, but then she smiled when Hongli looked over: "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why is Madam Wei kneeling?"
She walked up to Hongli, bowed, and said softly, "No matter how Madam Wei behaves and annoys His Majesty, please forgive Madam Wei for the sake of Concubine Ling's upcoming birth."
She spoke so sincerely that if Hongli had not known that Madam Wei had come out of her Yiku Palace, he would have believed it.
He looked at Ruyi, whose face was gentle and loving, and felt that she was like an old concubine who was full of malice but pretended to be kind. He felt very uncomfortable and pointed to the farthest armchair and said, "Go and sit down."
He looked at Shupin again and frowned slightly: "Why are you here too?"
Shupin lowered her eyes and said, "Sister Xianfei said that Lingfei has been feeling unwell recently and is worried about the heir to the throne, so she wanted to come and see him."
Yanwan gently held Hongli's hand.
Hongli paused, looking at Yanwan's worried expression, he felt helpless.
This Yihuan, getting together with Ruyi, was tantamount to betraying her. She was kind-hearted and even worried about Yihuan.
He looked at Hailan, then his eyes passed over and landed on Yongqi, his expression slightly gentler: "Why are you here too?"
Yongqi bowed respectfully and said helplessly, "Empress Xian and Hai agreed to come to find your son. They said that Empress Ling was not in good health and was afraid that she could not enter the palace, so they asked your son to knock on the door."
He spoke frankly, without covering up anything for Ruyi and Hailan.
Hailan's face darkened: "Yongqi, how can you talk like that?"
She never expected that Yongqi, who had always obeyed her and Ruyi, would suddenly say something so unfavorable to her and Ruyi.
She was angry and annoyed, her eyes full of warnings: "Yongqi, you are already an adult, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble for your mother-in-law!"
Yongqi's face turned pale, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Hongli said angrily: "Shut up! You are just a promise. Yongqi is a prince. Do you think you can teach him a lesson?!"
Hai Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."
Hongli said coldly: "Jinzhong, take her away and slap her in the face!"
Hailan: “…”
She quickly looked at Ruyi: "Sister!"
Ruyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! Please don't treat Hailan like this. She only said this about Yongqi because she was too worried about me. Besides, Yongqi is her child. If Yongqi doesn't acknowledge his birth mother, people will say he is unfilial!"
Her words made Yan Wan want to laugh.
If he refused to acknowledge his biological mother, the whole world would laugh at him. Then the person who should be laughed at the most by the world would probably be the emperor, right?
Hongli had obviously thought of this, remembering that Ruyi had said in every word that he had only one biological mother, the Empress Dowager. Later, after forcing him to compromise with the Empress Dowager, she forced him to confer the title of a low-ranking concubine on his biological mother, which repeatedly pierced his heart.
Now, she mentioned this again, was she trying to mock him and threaten him? If he didn't let Yongqi recognize Hai Lan, would Yongqi be ridiculed by the world like him?
He said coldly: "Jinzhong, didn't you hear what I said?"
Jinzhong uttered a sound and looked at the pale Hailan: "Hai agrees, please go in!"
Hai Lan saw that Hongli's expression was really scary, so she didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head and followed Jinzhong out.
The only people left in the room were Ruyi, who liked to be left speechless, and Shufei, who had a frown on her face and anger in her eyes.
Ruyi looked at Madam Wei, her eyebrows raised: "Madam Wei, what on earth did you do to make the emperor so angry?!"
