Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 438 Vigilance 4
It's not that she didn't care about the situation in the court, but this time in the palace, she didn't even know that her father had been suspended for investigation!
No one reported such a big matter to her, and this letter from her father has not been delivered to her for a long time!
In the letter, his father asked her to say a few good words for him, hoping that the emperor would be magnanimous and restore him to his post as soon as possible. He even reminded her that if the Lu family's power collapsed, then her status in the palace would not be guaranteed, and it would be difficult for the fifth prince to ascend to the throne. On the crown prince!
If it weren't for the last few sentences, maybe the emperor wouldn't be furious, but it was these last few sentences that angered the emperor!

Whether it is her, father, or the Lu family, although they all hope that the fifth prince will become the crown prince, they dare not say this in front of the emperor. Now that the letter expresses this intention, how can the emperor not be furious ?
Father has always acted cautiously, but he never thought that the letter written to her would reach the hands of the emperor!
Seeing her changing expression, Xiao Heng expected that she had already read the letter, and asked coldly, "What else do you want to tell me now?"

Concubine Duan looked evasive, but the hand holding the letter kept trembling, and she replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am...a concubine..."

Under Xiao Heng's furious gaze, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while.

"As the lord of the palace, don't you know the rules in the palace? Concubines in the harem are strictly forbidden to privately send letters to the outside world..." Xiao Heng looked at her sternly, and his voice was more stern than before.

Concubine Duan shook her body and knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm just... I just miss my father so much that I occasionally exchange letters with him!"

"Your father has made a big mistake now, I think he is old, has been an official for several years, and the fifth prince, so he is suspended and investigated, and the merchants sued him for buying and selling official positions! But I never expected that he would be so unrepentant, and sent you a private letter, asking you to persuade me to change my mind!"

It wasn't just this that made Xiao Heng furious!This letter was passed in quietly through the eyeliners in the palace. If the eunuch in charge Chen Rong and servant Deng Xian had not found out the eyeliners in the palace, how could they have intercepted this letter from outside the palace? !
"It seems that my punishment to him is too light..." Before Xiao Heng finished speaking, Concubine Duan grabbed Xiao Heng's clothes and begged in panic: "The emperor spared my concubine and my father this time. Forget it, my father must have been framed by someone, so he rushed to deliver the letter to my concubine, the emperor is aware, father is so loyal to the emperor, how can he do such things as buying and selling official positions?"

Up to now, she no longer cared whether her father had done this thing, and only wanted to intercede for her father on her own behalf, so that the emperor would soften his heart!

If her father's official position is removed and she breaks the palace rules again, then her life will be sad in the future!

"The evidence is convincing, could it be that I framed him?" Xiao Heng glared angrily, and the shocking gaze made Concubine Duan tremble suddenly.

Seeing that Concubine Duan didn't say a word, Xiao Heng continued: "Your father has let me down so much. It's only been a long time since I promoted him to the official position, but he has used his power for personal gain and has never repented! If I spare him this time, how can we appease the public anger? ?”

"Your majesty..." Concubine Duan's heart suddenly sank when she heard what the emperor said. She knew that her father would not be able to escape punishment this time, and it was not that the emperor did not give her father a chance. Send her a letter privately!
