Chapter 45 Promise
The emperor's tone was still calm, "Then how do you prove your innocence?" The underlying meaning of this sentence also confirmed that she poisoned the concubine.

Su Lingyue didn't realize it and just repeated, "I really didn't poison her."

"Then did you say that you didn't want Shui Concubine to recover and have her completely disfigured?"

Of course Su Lingyue would not admit it, and said with urgency in her voice: "No, I have never said such a thing. Shui Concubine is His Majesty's concubine and my sister. How could I do such a thing. "

When the people around heard this, they felt very funny in their hearts. The person least qualified to say this in this harem was Concubine Su.

The emperor was not in the mood to ask her again, and said calmly: "It means that you can't prove your innocence."

Hearing this, Su Lingyue looked at the emperor and met his indifferent eyes. She was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Your Majesty..."

Looking at such an emperor, Su Lingyue seemed to know this emperor for the first time, and for the first time she had doubts about herself. Would such an emperor really fall in love with her?
The emperor saw that Su Lingyue had doubts about him, and it was not the time to break up with that old man Su Yan. He lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the coldness in his eyes, and resumed his usual behavior, but his tone remained the same. There were no ups and downs. "Since my beloved concubine cannot prove her innocence, I will deprive Su Lingyue of her position from now on and demote her to concubine Yue. From today on, the harem will be jointly managed by Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu."

Eunuch Zhang immediately accepted the order and later ordered people to inform the entire harem about the incident.

Immediately, the emperor spoke again, and said gently to Su Lingyue, who looked shocked and stunned: "My dear concubine, don't blame me. The matter of poisoning in the palace this time is really too big. If we can't give everyone an explanation, what happened will happen." I’m afraid it won’t be easy to solve.”

"Don't worry, my beloved, when everyone forgets about this matter in the future, you will be the master of the harem."

Of course, the last words were whispered by the emperor when he walked up to Su Lingyue, in order to make her relax her vigilance.

Sure enough, when Su Lingyue heard this sentence, although she was still a little angry about what happened before, but seeing the emperor's expression no different from before, it seemed like an illusion before, and her suspicion of the emperor was indeed reduced, but because of this sentence, she thought The glory of sitting on the queen's throne in the future.

Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he was the queen, she already felt that the emperor had made a promise to her.

The anger and shock on her face slowly faded, but she was still angry in her heart. She didn't want the emperor to be difficult, and she was sure that she was being plotted. It happened too suddenly, and it was because of her carelessness that there was no ordinary person in her palace. If the sentimental palace maid dares to frame her, she must find out the person behind the scenes, otherwise she will not be Su Lingyue.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Qiao'er, as if looking at a dead person, but she also knew that now everyone believed that she was the culprit who harmed Shui Bin. This person would not come over, but she would not let him go. "I don't know how your Majesty will deal with Qiao'er. Although I didn't ask her to do anything, it is true that she poisoned her. Please punish her severely."

Although she knew that her words would be considered as excuses, of course she would not admit that it was not her doing.

The emperor didn't even look at Qiao'er, but looked at Su Lingyue and said, "What do you want, my beloved concubine?"
