The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 238 Dog bites dog

Xiangluan Palace.

Concubine Lu glared at Lu Liuli and He Jinhua: "You two want to harm Sun Ruyun?"

"My Lady, no, they framed me." Lu Liuli, who was forced to kneel on the ground, cried out.

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan sat down and drank their tea slowly.

Concubine Lu turned her head to look at Li Yuyi and Qin Wan. These two girls had always been at odds with her. Could it be that they were behind this?
She knew that Lu Liuli wanted to be the Crown Princess, but Duke Sun had greater power. Sun Ruyun had married her son a year ago. Although she only gave birth to a girl, she had a good relationship with Li Haochuan.

She originally thought that if Li Haoyu was brought down, her son would need the support of Duke Sun and his mother's family, the Lu family, to ascend to the throne, and Lu Liuli could be a concubine.

When my son becomes emperor, I will confer the title of empress on one of them and imperial concubine on the other.

But she never expected that Lu Liuli would dare to murder Sun Ruyun in the palace.

If Sun Ruyun were to fall from grace, it would also affect her son, right?
Sui Ru immediately said, "My Lady, why don't you ask the eldest prince's wife and the eunuch who was brought here by He Jinhua?"

Concubine Lu turned her head to look at Sun Ruyun. She was trembling and couldn't say a word.

"You dog slave, how dare you..." Concubine Lu couldn't bring herself to curse in front of Li Yuyi and Qin Wan.

The eunuch kowtowed hard in fear: "Your Highness, please understand. I was pulled over by Miss He. I didn't know what happened. I saw that it was the eldest prince's wife who fell into the water, so I wanted to call a maid who could swim to save her. Who knew that I was... kicked into the water by Miss He, who even shouted that if I didn't save the eldest prince's wife, I would die."

Qin Wan curled her lips slightly. Even if the eunuch was arranged in advance, he didn't dare to admit it.

The one who fell into the water was the eldest prince's wife. He, a eunuch, dared to jump into the water to rescue her. He would be dead whether he rescued her or not.

Concubine Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at He Jinhua and said, "Bitch, you dare to harm my son's wife. Someone, drag this little bitch away and beat her to death!"

He Jinhua was so frightened that she fell to her knees and cried, "My Lady, I am in a hurry to save the eldest prince's wife."

Xiuyi brought a bowl of steaming ginger sugar water to Sun Ruyun, and her body finally stopped shaking.

"What's going on? What's the commotion?"

Emperor Heng hurriedly walked in with a group of people.

Qin Wan immediately stood up, pulled Li Yuyi up, and winked at her.

Li Yuyi took a deep breath and bit her tongue hard, the pain made her eyes well up with tears.

He turned around and walked towards Emperor Heng.

Everyone in the room knelt on the floor.

Concubine Lu was shocked. This matter should be resolved privately, so how could the emperor know about it?

If the matter is investigated, it will always be our family members who get hurt.

Emperor Heng knew that Li Yuyi was there. He was originally very angry and didn't want to come. However, since she injured her neck last time, Emperor Heng hadn't seen her for a long time and missed her a little.

His daughter suddenly appeared in front of him, slowly knelt down and kowtowed solemnly to him, causing him to feel a deep pain in his heart.

He was angry.

The queen, her mother and her two sons were all more stubborn than each other and did not take the emperor seriously at all.

"Father, I am unfilial and have made you angry. Today I am here to apologize to you." Li Yuyi choked.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Heng was stunned.

He looked down at his eldest daughter who was curled up and kneeling at his feet, with mixed feelings.

This is his most beloved daughter.

Qin Wan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I, Qin Wan, greet you."

"Everyone, get up." Although Emperor Heng's voice was cold, it was also slightly choked with sobs.

He glanced at Qin Wan, thinking that Xie Zhiyan had returned, and wondered if she knew.

Qin Wan helped Li Yuyi up, her phoenix eyes were stained red, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"Father..."

Emperor Heng couldn't help himself after all, nodded, and softened his tone: "Why did you want to enter the palace?"

Li Yuyi wiped away her tears: "My daughter misses you, father." Emperor Heng's heart softened: "Good child."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Lu didn't like to see the father and daughter reconcile, so she walked up immediately.

"It was such a coincidence that the eldest princess saw Ruyun falling into the water as soon as she entered the palace. Qin Wan's two maids happened to be able to swim, so they rescued her."

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan looked at each other and realized that Concubine Lu wanted to make a big deal out of it.

Emperor Heng remembered that Li Yuyi's maid said someone was trying to murder the eldest prince's wife.

He said in a serious tone, "Who dares to murder the prince's wife in the palace?"

"No, no, it's all misunderstanding." Concubine Lu said with a smile.

Li Yuyi sneered: "My Lady, there are witnesses to the murder of the eldest prince's wife by Lu Liuli and He Jinhua. If they are not investigated and severely punished, anyone will dare to harm others in the palace in the future, or even rebel!"

Concubine Lu was shocked.

It has escalated to rebellion!
I quickly looked at the emperor's expression and sure enough, Emperor Heng's face sank.

"What happened?"

Qin Wan stepped forward and recounted what she had just seen: "The princess and I saw with our own eyes that the eunuch was pulled here by Miss He, and was kicked into the water by Miss He. Miss Lu and Miss He forced the eunuch to save him, otherwise he would die. Fortunately, my two maids are very good at swimming, so the incident did not lead to a disaster."

Emperor Heng looked at the eunuch, who was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground and dared not speak.

Qin Wan walked up to Sun Ruyun, her eyes full of concern: "Is the eldest prince's wife feeling better? Although it is early summer, the water is still cold. Do you remember whether you fell into the water by yourself or someone pushed you into the water?"

Sun Ruyun's body warmed up and her mind became clear.

"Ruyun slipped into the water on her own." Concubine Lu hurried over and winked at Sun Ruyun.

We are all family, so we naturally cannot harm ourselves.

Sun Ruyun knew that Lu Liuli wanted to become the Crown Prince's consort and was originally planning to marry Li Haoyu.

But recently the nobles have been impeaching the crown prince, vowing to push Li Haochuan to the position of heir apparent.

She was secretly happy that she actually had the opportunity to become the Crown Princess and the Queen in the future.

Who knew that Lu Liuli would turn around and want to harm her and seize her position as queen? Naturally, she was cruel to Lu Liuli and the others, and she couldn't let them have a chance to turn things around, otherwise, she would be unable to defend herself in the future.

She ignored Concubine Lu's crazy hints and cried, "Your Majesty, please help me. I was pushed into the water by Lu Liuli."

She used tricks to harm people in his palace and did not take him, the emperor, seriously at all.

Emperor Heng was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Lu Liuli and He Jinhua were so scared that they knelt on the ground and cried and shouted that they were innocent.

Li Yuyi said coldly: "Unfair? Are you saying that I, the great princess and the wife of Prince Xie, would wrongly accuse you?"

With red eyes, she tugged at Emperor Heng's sleeve, choking with sobs and a hint of coquettishness: "Father, I miss you so much that I finally convinced myself to put aside my pride and enter the palace to plead guilty, but I encountered such a dirty thing. I will never dare to step into the palace casually again, lest I become the victim next time."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Heng glared at her.

He cursed impatiently: "Shut up! If you want to cry, go back to your house and cry!"

The crying in the room suddenly stopped.

The current situation is complicated. The Sun and Lu families are fighting among themselves. Neither the Queen nor Li Haoyu has given in. There are almost a dozen impeachment memorials from ministers every day. Emperor Heng naturally cannot make a hasty decision.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Empress Lu, please select some jewelry and silk for me to reward the eldest prince's wife. Lu Liuli and He Jinhua, go back and receive twenty strokes of the cane and confinement for one month."

Concubine Lu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the punishment was not too severe.

Lu Liuli and He Jinhua sobbed and thanked him.

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan didn't say anything else.

Anyway, the Sun and Lu families will have a rift from now on, and their goal today will be achieved.

Emperor Heng glanced at the two of them and said, "Follow me, will you?"

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan quickly responded, "Yes."
