Dong Gong Mei

"You are a concubine and an old man beside the emperor."

The imperial guards on the left and right were crowded, and the prince stood in the center of the inner hall with his hands behind his back, speaking lightly, as if ordering the heroes.

This sense of oppression, not to mention a concubine in the harem, even a veteran of the former court, would be so frightening that his whole body would be chilled.

"As a concubine, one should cultivate one's self-cultivation and morality, and put His Majesty first in everything. However, you harbor resentment and gossip, which makes the harem restless and Your Majesty restless, and so on," he said with a sneer, "It's really a crime." Inexcusable!"

Although these words sound good, they are not unreasonable. After this pass, it almost means that she is not worthy to serve the emperor.Especially the last sentence made Pei Cairen jump again. What is an unforgivable crime?

No matter how much the crown prince covers the sky with one hand, it is impossible to depose her as a commoner in front of the emperor!

impossible!
There are emperors who abolish their own women, but no prince has ever abolished the emperor's women!

Even she understands this truth, how could the prince not understand?
"Your Highness's words have wronged me. I just passed by here and heard that Zhao Xiwei had evidence of framing the Queen and Princess, so I wanted to investigate for Your Majesty. Is this counted as soliciting truth?"

Pei Cairen wiped his tears with a handkerchief, as if he was misunderstood for doing justice for the sky.

Li Xuanye glanced at Zhao Xiwei, expressionless: "I just passed by and heard, how can you be sure that she has criminal evidence?"

"She is in the same condition as Princess Consonance!"

"What's wrong with Princess Consonance? What's wrong with her?"

"It's all because of the mother's womb's own cold syndrome."

"Really?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?"

"I——" Pei Cairen didn't expect, but just casually asked and answered, why did she catch her flaws, and suddenly fell tongue-tied, "I, I..." He looked at the emperor for help , "Your Majesty, my concubine..."

With a chuckle, Li Xuanye interrupted her defense, saying: "Lingxi's illness came on urgently, and no concubine in the palace knew the cause of the disease, how did the talented lady know the details? Besides, you didn't know when Liu Aining asked the doctor. If you were there, how did you know that the two of them were in the same condition? Also, Zhaoyang Palace is far away from here, and His Majesty just said that you want to search, and you suddenly appeared, so—”

His expression paused, and his eyes shot like arrows: "Pei Cairen! How dare you put eyeliner beside His Majesty!"

"What?" Pei Cairen was stunned. She never imagined that she was just passing by to avenge her revenge. She didn't expect that stealing chickens would cost a lot of money, and she suddenly became a sinner who watched the emperor! ?

"Your Majesty!" She was angry and anxious, crying to the emperor, "The crown prince wronged my concubine! The concubine was just in a hurry and wanted to share the worries of your majesty! How dare you put eyeliner beside your majesty? Your majesty, this concubine followed you After so many years, don’t you understand what the concubine’s mind is?”

But emotional cards are useless to the emperor.Among the 3000 beauties in the harem, except for Queen Gu, no one really entered his heart.

The emperor patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said in a warm voice: "Since it's a misunderstanding, just let it go. Tell the prince, how did you get the news so quickly?"

Pei Cairen almost choked to death—how did she get the news so quickly? Of course she bribed someone to report to her!She has been in charge of the Six Palaces for so many years, and she can't even do this little thing, so how did she fight against the Queen Mother back then?

Isn't this something the emperor has always known and acquiesced to?
Even just now, when she rushed in rashly, the emperor didn't think there was anything wrong.

Why is it her fault now that the prince mentions it?
"Pei Cairen, as a concubine in the harem, what do you intend to do by placing eyeliner next to His Majesty?" There was no smile on Li Xuanye's face, only boundless coercion and cruelty, and he said word by word: "Then, Gu is Isn't it also possible to think that Lingxi's illness was planned by you alone?"

"No!" Pei Cairen was forced to retreat, covered his face and shouted, "I didn't! How could I frame the princess!"

"Why don't you?" Li Xuanye sneered, "You have lived in the harem for a long time, and you have a grudge against His Majesty, don't you have more motives and suspicions to commit crimes? And Zhao Xiwei,"

He looked at the familiar figure, and said in a flat tone, "She is no longer the princess. If she is not summoned, she will not be able to enter the palace. Even if she wants to kill Lingxi, there is no chance. But you insist that she is the murderer——" He snorted softly, and smiled again, "It's an understatement to say you're sowing dissension, but I just think you're stealing imperial power for your own personal gain!"

"What stealing the imperial power?" Pei Cairen's eyes widened, "Prince, don't label yourself indiscriminately! What I did today is just a misunderstanding! Yes, I offended your favorite, but As the prince of a country, can you confuse right and wrong and expand your crimes?"

Li Xuanye said calmly: "Isn't it to spy on His Majesty by placing eyeliners around His Majesty? Isn't monitoring His Majesty's words and deeds the same as stealing imperial power?"

"You!" Pei Cairen really experienced what it means to be wronged this time.

She really wanted Zhao Xiwei to die, but no matter how much she hated her, she couldn't afford to spy on the emperor!

She was so angry that her liver was going to explode, but she suddenly thought of something, and said angrily: "I got the news to monitor His Majesty, what about Suyu? Isn't she working in the Eastern Palace? Why did she appear so timely?" With a sneer, she To rule his body with his own way, "Could it be that this is the eyeliner planted by the prince?"

As soon as she said this, the emperor's eyes narrowed immediately, and he swiped heavily at Suyu, then at Zhao Xiwei, and then fixed on the crown prince.

He didn't speak. As an emperor who loved the prince very much, even if he became suspicious, he would not attack him on the spot.

Zhao Xiwei stood at the back, looking at Li Xuanye from a distance through a group of figures, and frowned imperceptibly.

Although...Pei Cairen's statement is ridiculous, but...it is not groundless...

The matter was already a foregone conclusion, but just after Suyu rushed in, it suddenly turned around and completely reversed the situation.

On the surface, Suyu was trying to find out the truth for her old master, but in fact she knew very well that it was this mistake that helped her...

Was it really arranged by him?

To save her?

But since he will make a move, it means that he has already confirmed that there is a blood book on her.

After knowing this, he actually wants to save her?

Zhao Xi looked at him slightly, and suddenly realized that what she knew about him was just the tip of the iceberg.

For him to protect her so much under the eyes of the emperor, this is tantamount to putting himself in the most dangerous situation. Now the emperor is obviously unhappy, what should he do?

Zhao Xiwei soon discovered that her worries were completely unnecessary.

The crown prince has been in contact with the government since he was a child, and it is easy to deal with such small tricks. He smiled noncommittally: "Although Suyu is a member of the East Palace, she still retains her errand in the Changle Palace, and she has to enter the palace regularly at the end of each month. As for tonight's matter How did she know, it's all thanks to you, Madam—"

His next sentence made Pei Cairen's face turn pale: "Yuan Ce Yang Yi! Bring him up!"

"Yes!" (end of this chapter)
