The Legend of Imperial Concubine Rong

Rong'er thought to himself: My heart is in pain, not because of this unfathomable conspiracy, but because of the transformation of the Emperor. The love of the past has become the distrust of today, the patience of the past has become the easy judgment of today. What happened to me and the Emperor? What happened to us?

When Rong'er arrived at the empress dowager's Shoukang Palace, he found that the empress dowager, Xiushan, Mimin and Wang agreed to be in the palace as well.

"This concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Wen!" Although Rong'er was puzzled, he still paid his respects to the empress dowager and the Imperial Concubine Wen first.

The empress dowager nodded her head lightly and made Rong'er sit down before speaking to everyone. "This Dowager did indeed have something to do when I called all of you over. Today, I found this in the royal pillow." She lifted something from the low table beside her.

Rong'er took a closer look and saw that it was a very thin needle. The empress dowager raised her voice after everyone had seen the situation clearly, "Today, the palace maid that the king had promised to make a bed for him had discovered this needle. This empress dowager had also thought about it, this silver needle could not have been placed there by the palace maid that the king had agreed to make a bed for him.

"Empress Dowager, even though this concubine and Noble Lady Min have a room agreed upon by the King, they have never come close to the bed." After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Yushan hurried forward to report to her.

"Oh?" Her Majesty turned to the King.

"To reply Empress Dowager, that is indeed the case." Wang agreed, then continued, "Empress Dowager, actually there's no problem. Chenqie doesn't think there's a need to investigate."

"Hmph, it's not up to you to decide if there's a need to investigate." The empress dowager shot him a glance before turning to look at the others and shouting, "If he agrees to be Chinese, some people in the palace will inevitably dislike him. However, the empress dowager's harem doesn't allow any harm to occur. The empress dowager paused for a moment before looking at Rong'er and Imperial Concubine Wen. "Speaking of which, it's only Imperial Concubine Wen and Rong'er who need to have a good talk."

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, how could chenqie harm the King? Chenqie has always treated the King as her own sister. I've always gone to the King's place every day, if I wanted to harm him, I wouldn't harm him today." The Imperial Concubine Wen hurriedly argued.

Rong'er's mind was in a mess as she tried to recall who it was that would harm Wang Tong's promise. And why today? Rong'er suspiciously looked at Imperial Concubine Wen, only to see her anxiously refuting him. Imperial Concubine Wen's recent change made Rong'er feel suspicious.

"Imperial Concubine Rong, what do you think?" the Empress asked Rong'er.

"Chenqie …"

"Ah, I remember now." Before Rong'er could finish speaking, the palace maid beside Wang Tong exclaimed, "Imperial Concubine Rong was just about to wipe Master's forehead. That spot is exactly where the silver needles found it."

Rong'er exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible? Empress Dowager, how could chenqie do such a thing? "

"Don't spout nonsense." Wang promised to scold palace maid who was beside him.

The empress dowager looked coldly at Rong'er and said in a low voice, "Alright, This Dowager knows about it as well. This Dowager will thoroughly investigate this matter. Imperial Concubine Rong will stay for a while, everyone else can go back first."

Looking at the empress dowager's eyes, Rong'er clearly knew that she was suspecting her and looking at Imperial Concubine Wen. He didn't know if it was an illusion or what, but Rong'er could faintly feel a faint smile on her lips. Everything was too sudden and coincidental.

After everyone had left, the Empress Dowager said coldly, "Imperial Concubine Rong, This Dowager wants to ask you, was it you who put the silver needles in?"

"No." Rong'er said firmly.

"Imperial Concubine Rong, I know that for the past few years, the Emperor has always been good to you. However, ever since he favored you and agreed to the king's request, he has been somewhat lax with you. Her Majesty softened her voice.

"Empress Dowager, chenqie really didn't harm the King's agreement." Rong'er didn't try to defend himself, but simply reiterated her words.

"But now all the evidence points to you, and This Dowager has also heard that you have always been resentful of Wang's promise, and have never cared for the other concubines as much as you did for the other concubines. And a few days ago, you even went to find the Emperor to complain about Wang's consent to the ration." The empress dowager seemed to understand in her heart. "Whether it's in terms of motive or evidence, no one is more likely than you to be the killer promised by the King of Devils."

"Reporting to the empress dowager, chenqie didn't harm the king's agreement." Rong'er knew that if she said that it was Imperial Concubine Wen who framed her, she had to bring out the proof drama, but she did not have the proof drama. Furthermore, she could not be sure that it was Imperial Concubine Wen who framed her, so she could only repeat this sentence.

"Tough mouth? You know what? This Dowager can punish you, but this Dowager doesn't want to. This Dowager will report this to the Emperor, and let the Emperor decide for himself. " Her Majesty said coldly, "Well, you can go back first. Stay in your palace and don't go anywhere!"

"Master, this clearly shows that someone framed you. It was the Imperial Concubine Wen. Master, you go and tell the Emperor!" Xiao Qing was anxious to the point that he was turning the floor upside down.

"En, the only choice is for the Emperor to come. Tell the Emperor the details of the incident in detail, then we'll go find out who the real culprit is." Rong'er nodded lightly.

Xiao Qing also nodded immediately, "Yes, when Master asked you to find the Emperor and arrange the transformation of the Imperial Concubine Wen to him, she told him to go and bring you to the King to explain everything. She also told him to go and punish the Imperial Concubine Wen."

"You can't say that right now. Maybe it's all just a coincidence, but what about the other people who harmed the king? We can't jump to conclusions too early. " Rong'er lightly said, while his mind was thinking about the whole matter.

It was almost midnight when a knock suddenly came from the door. Xiao Qing walked over to open the door and immediately exclaimed: "We greet the Emperor!"

Rong'er was originally awake, but when she saw Xuan Ye come over, she quickly got up and greeted him.

"All of you can leave now." Xuan Ye dismissed Xiao Qing and the other palace maids who accompanied him.

When the Temple Door closed, Rong'er immediately got up and welcomed him with a smile. She was still very happy that the emperor had come so quickly, but she was anxious to refute everything with Xuan Ye.

"Imperial Concubine Rong!" Rong'er had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Xuan Ye, "We really did not expect that you have changed so much, we had always thought that everything in the palace would change, including us, but you are the only one who has not changed. All these years, you have not, but now, we have agreed to it. You became like this! " Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er angrily.

"Your Majesty …"

"Imperial Concubine Rong, you have actually learned how to harm others. Earlier, when you came to me to allocate the resources that the King had promised, although I knew that you were jealous in your heart, it did conform to the rules of the palace. But now, you actually even used methods to harm people. Xuan Ye said in an overbearing tone.

"Your Majesty, chenqie …"

"Do you know how sad This Emperor is? What are you trying to say? Say you didn't? The empress dowager has all the witness and material evidence, what else do you have to say for yourself? " Xuan Ye's face was filled with pain.

Rong'er suddenly felt that there was nothing left to say. The emperor had already decided her crime, so all of her explanations would be considered as a powerless rebuttal. Rong'er's face had already turned pale as he lightly shook his head and said in a low voice, "Since the emperor thinks so, then chenqie has nothing else to say."

"Humph!" Imperial Concubine Rong, you have truly disappointed us! Are you worthy of my love for you over the years? Think about it! " Xuan Ye snorted, flung his sleeves, and left the palace gate.

Seeing Xuan Ye's figure disappear at the door, Rong'er's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, what was going on? What was going on? Why did the Emperor, who loved her so much before, become like this? This … What was going on?
