Chapter 473 Go Ask the Emperor
Chapter 473 Go Ask the Emperor
When Hongli heard Yanwan's words, he seemed to suddenly realize that he was a little too angry.
It was because he suddenly saw Qingying from the past today that he lost his composure.
In any case, Concubine Jia is the mother of his four sons and a concubine. She should not be punished for having a conflict with Ruyi.
He said in a deep voice: "Ask Concubine Jia to come in."
After a pause, he patiently explained to Yan Wan: "I don't have to punish her, Ruyi is already unconscious, and I didn't deliberately hold on to Little Twelve.
Concubine Jia did not know right from wrong and just dragged and pulled. I was afraid that she would hurt the child, and then she would be the one to regret it. "
Yan Wan seemed to believe it completely: "Your Majesty is a kind father. Concubine Jia and Concubine Xian have always had a grudge, so she is just angry. She has become more and more childish in recent years, but she has always been cautious in doing things. Your Majesty, please forgive her."
As she finished speaking, Concubine Jia staggered in, knelt down, and looked at Hongli uncomfortably: "Your Majesty, I lost my composure. I know I was wrong."
Hongli's expression softened completely, and he personally helped Concubine Jia up: "Forget it, don't be so anxious in the future, go and see Little Twelve."
Concubine Jia was naturally willing to endure for her son. She quickly walked to the bedside and looked at her son's anxious and helpless expression. No matter how angry she was, she no longer felt any anger:
"Forget it, kid. Since Concubine Xian insists on keeping you, then I will stay here and take care of both of you!"
The Twelfth Prince moved his hand, which was tightly held by Ruyi, and his heart was filled with anger.
This woman is so scheming!
She pretended to be very kind to him, but in fact she pushed him into the water and almost crushed him to death before she pulled him out.
Do you really think he was completely unconscious and couldn't feel it?!
His eyelashes trembled, and he looked at Hongli with admiration, begging, "Father, can I ask my mother to stay here?"
Hongli had never thought of giving his other sons to Ruyi, and he did so to prevent Concubine Jia from harming Ruyi, so he naturally agreed to such a small request.
He said to Concubine Jia, "You are always calm and know the importance of things."
Even though Concubine Jia no longer cared about him, she was still very sad at this moment.
Even if he only treated her as a housekeeper, she had done her job conscientiously over the years. Yet, he warned her for a woman who cheated on him, as if it wasn't him who humiliated Ruyi time and time again back then.
This is really, wanting both, extremely disgusting.
Concubine Jia looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I only have the emperor and the children in my heart. The emperor's beloved daughter has regained favor, so naturally I have to stay away from her."
After a pause, she showed a frustrated expression: "As long as the emperor wants, I will let her be the imperial concubine, so what?"
Yan Wan reprimanded, "Noble Concubine Jia, don't talk nonsense. The Emperor values rules the most. If an abandoned concubine in the cold palace can become a noble concubine by saving a drowning prince, will this palace be able to support children in the future?"
Yanwan's words made Hongli, whose heart was full of old feelings, feel as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and he woke up completely.
He glanced sternly at Ruyi lying on the bed. The beauty of the past had turned into the tragic scene of the children dying over the years.
He actually forgot that it was Ruyi's repeated forced birth of children that forced him to murder his own child, which resulted in him suffering retribution and incurring the wrath of Heaven.
He said in a deep voice, "The Imperial Concubine is right. Rules are rules. Concubine Xian saved Little Twelve, so it is the highest honor for her to be a concubine. Given her status, a concubine is already a great favor, and it cannot be higher.
You are a noble concubine, and you assist the imperial concubine in managing the harem. You are not allowed to say such irresponsible words in the future."
He was feeling irritated, and although he wanted to stay with Ruyi, his mind was telling him to leave quickly, so he took advantage of his irritability and quickly got up and left.
As soon as he left, the whole room fell silent.
Ying Fei, who had not come out, came hurriedly, glanced at Ruyi on the bed with a sullen face, then looked at Yan Wan, and knelt down directly:
"My lady, I don't want to live with this kind of person. If she can see the twelfth prince falling into the water today, she will see my daughter falling into the water tomorrow.
I only have this one daughter, and she is not in good health. I will never live with such an unlucky, vicious, and mentally ill person!"
Imperial Concubine Jia caught a glimpse of Ruyi's trembling eyelashes and exclaimed, "What Imperial Concubine Ying said makes sense. This Imperial Concubine Xian has always been unlucky. Any child who has anything to do with her will be in trouble. Imperial Concubine, what do you think..."
Yan Wan said calmly: "No matter how noble a concubine is, she is not as noble as the children. Concubine Ying, please get up. I will arrange for her to move out."
Ruyi couldn't pretend any longer and opened her eyes pretending to be confused: "Where is this?"
Yan Wan said calmly, "It doesn't matter where this is. Tonight, I will arrange for you to sleep with me. You can ask the emperor where you want to live in the future. But you don't have to think about this palace where the child is."
Ruyi opened her mouth.
Yan Wan looked at her coldly, her condescending gaze full of coldness: "Now, let go of Little Twelve, and go to sleep. Someone will naturally come to carry you to the Yangxin Palace at night."
Ruyi looked at Yanwan in silence, and finally let go of the Twelfth Prince and closed her eyes, as if she had never woken up.
Yan Wan had someone carry the twelfth prince and took everyone to Concubine Ying.
After the others left, the three of them looked at the Twelfth Prince together.
The twelfth prince shrank his neck and forced out a flattering smile: "Don't be angry, my wife. My son really won't dare to run around anymore!"
Concubine Jia pinched his butt hard. Although she knew that Ruyi would come out eventually, she didn't expect that she would come out by stepping on her son.
She glared at Twelve: "Tell me what's going on!"
The twelfth prince said hurriedly, "My son didn't understand it at first. It was a lion cat that we raised before. It always liked to run near the cold palace. My son usually doesn't go there, but today he was really bored, so he chased it. Unexpectedly, it fell into the water."
Concubine Jia was so angry that she laughed: "So you just went to catch him?"
The twelfth prince begged for mercy: "The Emperor has always forbidden his sons to keep things randomly, fearing that we would lose our ambition due to playing with things. This cat is something that my son has secretly raised..."
Concubine Jia looked at Yan Wan. What did he raise? She felt something fishy was going on!
Sure enough, Yan Wan nodded: "I heard before that there were guards in the cold palace looking for a cat, saying that there were some mice in the cold palace."
Concubine Jia was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
It works!
Not only is Ruyi flirting with Zhang Qing in the cold palace, she has even forgotten to seduce her son!
Damn!
Damn it!
The twelfth prince keenly sensed that something was wrong, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Although he was not the smartest among the princes, he was the best at reading people's expressions. He knew that Concubine Xian had probably used tricks on him a long time ago, but the tricks were only used today.
