The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 40

To everyone's disappointment, the concubine Yuegui who was sitting on the seat didn't react at all, she was still drinking tea as if nothing had happened, and even calmly looked at the concubine present who cast her gaze on her.

This kind of indifferent reaction made everyone present start to be puzzled. Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with Concubine Yuegui?

Yin Ruxue didn't know what everyone was thinking, she was so calm just because she had never done this.On the other hand, it was also because she believed in Emperor Yongye.She didn't know how she came up with this idea, but there was always a voice in her heart telling her to trust him.

So, she chose to follow her heart and choose to trust him.

After the vanilla was brought up, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and almost no sound came out. Everyone was waiting for the Queen's interrogation to see if this matter was really related to Concubine Yuegui.

Xiang Cao knelt in the middle of the hall, her back straightened, and she looked very imposing, not like an ordinary court lady.

"Empress, it's her, and the medicine is vanilla for slaves."

"Vanilla, what else do you have to say? Haven't you really asked for it?"

Facing Xuemei's identification and the Queen's empress' persecution, Xiangcao's reply was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was very methodical.

"Returning to the empress, the servant is indeed Xuemei's fellow countryman, and I have indeed met with Xuemei a few days ago, but the servant has not given her any medicine. If the empress does not believe it, the servant can confront Xuemei. .”

The Queen agreed with Vanilla.

"Xuemei, you said that I gave you the medicine, do you have any proof?"

Xuemei's tone was sharp: "Of course you won't leave me with the excuse. You only gave me medicine."

Vanilla continued to ask unhurriedly: "According to what you said, I gave you the medicine and took it obediently?"

Xuemei said angrily, "If you hadn't told me that my brother was sick, I wouldn't have done anything for you. If I didn't do it, I'm afraid my brother would die to see a doctor."

"I'm just a little court lady, how can I have such a great ability? Even if I really tell you this, can you believe me?"

Xuemei was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a panic: "You said you were working for Concubine Yue, but if I don't do it, your concubine won't let me go."

Xuemei's words bit at Concubine Yuegui again.

When Yin Ruxue heard this, she smiled instead of anger, and asked with great interest: "Xuemei, what do you mean by this, is that this concubine instructed Xiang Cao to threaten you?"

Xuemei saw a big smile blooming on Concubine Yue's beautiful and incomparably beautiful face, her words were completely different from the usual high-pitched tone of peace, she couldn't react and she nodded foolishly.

"Then why did you just say that Vanilla threatened you with your brother?"

Xuemei was awakened by Yin Ruxue's ice-like voice, and she turned pale with fright when she heard Concubine Yuegui pointed out the loopholes in her words in a tone completely different from before.

The atmosphere in the palace was stagnant, and the eunuch's voice outside the palace broke everything.

"The Emperor is here."

"Queen, how did you investigate this matter?"

Emperor Yong Ye walked into the hall, and asked a few words after waiving the courtesy of the concubines.

The empress didn't dare to wait any longer, and explained all the ins and outs carefully. When it came to Han Jieyu's eldest court lady Xuemei, she pointed out that the court lady Xiangcao, who was next to Yuegui concubine, asked her to do it. She heard the emperor say softly: "Vanilla?"

The Empress is a little strange, although this concubine Yue Gui is very favored, but the emperor can't even remember the name of a maid beside her so clearly.Something flashed through the empress's mind quickly, but she didn't have time to think about it right now.

When Xin Quan heard that Concubine Yue was involved again, the first reaction in her mind was: No wonder other people brought things up to Concubine Yue, who told Concubine Yue to be "famous" in the palace? "Woolen cloth?But this time someone else stumbled.If it happened to other maids, the emperor may still suspect that this matter has something to do with Zhaoyue Palace, but this vanilla was sent to Zhaoyue Palace by the emperor.

The emperor didn't have any special reaction, but just signaled the queen to continue interrogating the matter.

The queen looked at Xuemei, whose highness was already speechless, and her voice was even more majestic.

"Xuemei, you still haven't told the truth? Do you really want to hurt your parents and family?"

Seeing that there was no way to tell, Xuemei had no choice but to reveal the truth.

It turned out that Xuemei was sent to Han Jieyu by Han Jieyu's stepmother, the stepwife of the son of the Han family.This stepwife had a conflict with Han Jieyu, but Han Jieyu was deeply loved by the old Han Jieyu. The stepwife couldn't resist Han Jieyu, so she had to send Xuemei to follow Han Jieyu into the harem.As for the false accusation to Concubine Yue, it is because Xuemei and Xiangcao are from the same hometown, and she wants to confuse others' eyes.

It's embarrassing that this family ethics drama has reached the harem.

When the emperor heard the whole story of this incident, his expression was unpredictable.After saying thank you for your hard work to the queen, she left with the concubine Yuegui who had been wronged, and the rest of the concubines who didn't know what they were thinking stayed in Fengzao Palace.

The queen didn't know how she felt, she successfully completed the task entrusted to her by the emperor, but the emperor only said a word of hard work to her and left her with his new favorite.But she knew that now was not a good time to express emotion, so she still faced the concubines in the palace with a graceful and generous attitude on her face.

Concubine Shu's eyes are full of sarcasm, so what about the queen?You see, the smile of the newcomer is always prettier than the old one, isn't it?Queen, sooner or later, I will repay you for the insult you did to me back then.

Let's talk about Yin Ruxue and Emperor Yong Ye.

"Were you scared just now?"

"not afraid."

Emperor Yong Ye raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid?"

Yin Ruxue nodded calmly: "I'm not afraid. I didn't do this in the first place."

At the end, I added another sentence: "Besides, it's not about you, the emperor. I believe in you."

Emperor Yong Ye's heart softened, looking at the serious face of the little woman in front of him, his heart was filled with indescribable joy and relaxation.

Emperor Yongye looked at the yawning woman beside him, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so sleepy? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Yin Ruxue nodded: "I don't know, I've always been sleepy lately. It's just that the empress's notification today was too early, and Zhaoyue Palace is a little far away, so I got up earlier."

Cherry, who was following behind, heard her concubine complaining to the emperor, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Ma'am, are you serious about this? Did you really get up early this morning?

Emperor Yongye understood Yin Ruxue's virtues and her laziness, so he smiled indulgently: "Then go back to Zhaoyue Palace, and I will accompany you to catch up on sleep."

For Emperor Yongye, he felt that the woman in front of him was worthy of his favor, so why not?
The palace people following the two were expressionless, as if they hadn't heard their master's conversation.

Ever since Yin Ruxue moved to Zhaoyue Palace, she arranged all the trinkets bestowed by Emperor Yong Ye.Zhaoyue Palace is beautiful and colorful, full of rose atmosphere.In modern terms, it is hypocritical petty bourgeoisie.

Even in the courtyard of Zhaoyue Palace, Yin Ruxue sent someone to the House of Internal Affairs to get rose seeds.Although rose seeds are not expensive, they are still rare. Concubine Yuegui is a favorite, so the House of Internal Affairs naturally spent a lot of effort to find and send them.

Emperor Yongye first asked Yin Ruxue why he didn't bother to decorate Jinxiu Pavilion, and Yin Ruxue told him very seriously that Jinxiu Pavilion was like this when she moved there, and she didn't want to bother.Emperor Yongye smiled and said nothing, not piercing the person in front of him.In fact, he didn't know that this was just an excuse, but the person in front of him was lazy.

Yin Ruxue was really sleepy, she said that sleep was really sleep, and not long after the two of them lay on the bed, she fell asleep with heavy breathing.Emperor Yong Ye looked at the little woman tightly curled up in his arms and smiled helplessly, so he had no choice but to close his eyes and go to rest.

Han Jieyu's poisoning incident ended with an unimaginable result.

The Korean public was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard the result given by the emperor.He originally wanted to use this incident to contain the emperor, my granddaughter was wronged in your harem, you have to give some compensation, sympathy or something.Now I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law did it. This is a family scandal. This time, I not only lost my husband but also my inner self.

The Korean man couldn't hold his head up, so he had to vent all his anger to his son and daughter-in-law after returning home.That day, the news that the stepwife of the son of the Korean prince had returned to her natal home spread throughout the capital.

As for the poisoned Han Jieyu, she has gained the sympathy of many people in the harem. As a legitimate daughter but her stepmother is unkind, the image of a miserable life who is persecuted by her stepmother faintly surrounds Han Jieyu.

Emperor Yong Ye didn't think that this matter was so simple, as the emperor's suspicious nature made him send secret guards to investigate this matter.Sure enough, unreasonable things really happened.

According to Xiang Cao, this Xuemei approached her first, telling herself that they were from the same village.Vanilla didn't believe her words easily, but she just observed secretly.But unexpectedly, this happened not long after.

According to this, Xuemei deliberately wanted to blame Ruxue, but why?

Then the secret guard presented something that solved Emperor Yong Ye's doubts.The dark guard learned that the step-wife of the son of the Han Dynasty and the wife of Shangshu Yun had exchanged handkerchiefs for many years.Everything was solved, and everything had a reasonable explanation.

Emperor Yong Ye was just about to resolve his doubts when suddenly another message came from the harem.

Concubine Yuegui from Zhaoyue Palace is not in good health, so she invited the imperial physician again.

After hearing the news, Emperor Yongye recalled the scene of that little woman falling in front of him back then, so he put down his pen and rushed over in a hurry.
