The Legend of Imperial Concubine Rong

Rong'er thought to himself: How can I explain that a person's life is filled with many things, including grievances and helplessness? In many people's hearts, I have already been found guilty. Yes, I can't find evidence that I'm innocent, so I'm really guilty? He finally understood the truth of why there was no excuse for what he wanted to do.

"This time, the Imperial Concubine Rong should be finished, right?" Imperial Concubine Wen smiled slightly.

"That's right, Mistress. It's just a pity that the silver needles were discovered long ago. Otherwise, it would have been a double-edged sword." palace maid Su Dayu said with regret.

"Speaking of which, it was also because of Wang Jiami's good luck that he escaped this calamity." Imperial Concubine Wen picked up his teacup and lightly sipped his tea. "I hate them all.

"That's right, if it weren't for the Emperor's favor towards his Empress Xiaozhao, he wouldn't have died." Su Dayu agreed, "Master, what kind of punishment do you think Imperial Concubine Rong will receive this time?"

"Riding on favor, the Emperor hates it the most. I think she won't be able to escape the blame this time. She might even be sentenced to death this time!" After Imperial Concubine Wen said these words, she couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably. She started to panic internally, and her eyes revealed her feelings.

Su Dayu looked and said softly, "Master, don't worry, no one will find out that you were the one who did it. Now that the Imperial Concubine Rong has been suspected, they will not be able to find any evidence that was not Imperial Concubine Rong's agreement to frame the King, and even more so, will not be able to find any evidence that you did it, so master does not need to worry."

"What is there to worry about? I'm not wrong, I'm just doing what I should be doing! This is what they deserve, I am working for the heavens! " Imperial Concubine Wen raised his voice, as if he was reprimanding Su Dayu, and convincing himself.

"Bam!" Suddenly, there was a banging sound from the door.

"Who?" Su Dayu asked vigilantly.

"Reporting to master, Aunt Su. This servant, Yi Er, has come to deliver medicine for master." A crisp female voice came from the door.

"Come in." The Imperial Concubine Wen instructed, he turned and looked at Su Da Su, "This insomnia and restlessness of mine, why have you not recovered?"

"Master has something on his mind, after Imperial Concubine Rong's matter, Master's matters will be better." Su Dayu said softly, he turned and looked at palace maid who was bringing the medicine in, "Put the medicine down, go out."

"Yes." The little palace maid put down the medicine and turned around to leave the palace gate.

The Imperial Concubine Wen sighed, "Jia Ping is alright, but I still feel somewhat ashamed of her. She deserves to be the Imperial Concubine Rong, but Jia Ping becoming like this is not what I was thinking."

Master is so kind-hearted, although Master is not directly responsible for Imperial Concubine Ping's current state, he often blames himself. This servant has always been paying attention to that side, other than the matter of reducing the allowance in the palace, at other times, this servant will always be careful, so as to not let anything go missing. Su Da replied in a low voice.

Inside the Shoukang Palace, Xuan Ye and the empress dowager were currently discussing about how to punish Rong'er.

"Your majesty, you've already asked about it yourself. How do you think we should deal with this matter now?" The empress dowager raised her head to look at Xuan Ye. "I know that you love the Imperial Concubine Rong, so I didn't make it difficult for her at all.

"I have doted on her, she has cherished me. This time, she has truly disappointed me!" Xuan Ye's face was filled with pain.

The empress dowager sighed, "That's right, look at this palace. Back then, you said that she was jealous, that she was jealous, and that it was all because you spoiled the Imperial Concubine Rong, and now that you've agreed to the king's request, the jealousy in the Imperial Concubine Rong has risen as well. I think that your methods are not inferior to the Li Anzhu and Zhang Leqi back then."

He had always thought that Rong er was a sensible person, he thought that she would understand him. Although he had doted on Wang Jiami, it was different from how he had doted on her. He thought that she would understand him, and she should understand him as well. He was so disappointed that his brain could no longer think properly, and his heart ached whenever he thought of the things that his beloved Rong'er had done over the years.

"Your majesty?" When the Empress Dowager saw that Xuan Ye did not reply for a long time, she called out to him.

"Oh, mother." Xuan Ye turned around and looked at the empress dowager. "We will think about it carefully, this son will take his leave first."

"Your Majesty, it can't be that you don't want to punish us, right? The rules of this palace were set by the emperor, but if we break them, then in the future, all of the imperial concubines will follow suit. Her Majesty asked with a smile.

"Yes, mother is right. Then, how does mother intend to deal with it?" Xuan Ye looked up at the empress dowager. His mind was indeed blank, or perhaps he really needed a suggestion.

"You want me to do it?" The empress dowager thought for a moment with her eyes closed. "Your majesty, it's not according to my wishes, but according to the rules of this palace, both Zhang Leqi and Li Anzhu were sentenced to death at that time, but they did kill Dragon King. The empress dowager lifted her head to look at Xuan Ye's expression. Xuan Ye's expression was blank as he continued to speak, "Given her current state, if she still holds the position of master, it would be very hard for her to convince the masses. It wouldn't be too excessive for her to be reduced to palace maid, right?"

Xuan Ye's eyes revealed a look of astonishment, he knew that the empress dowager was right, if he were to follow the rules of the palace and be reduced to a palace maid, then he would be done with ease. He frowned slightly, and made the most painful decision in his heart, the fists in his hands had become even tighter, and after thinking for a long while, Xuan Ye heaved a long sigh of relief.

The empress dowager smiled lightly. "Imperial Concubine Rong should thank Your Majesty for his kindness."

"Your son shall take his leave." After Xuan Ye finished this sentence, he quickly turned around and walked out. In the end, he still couldn't bear to punish Rong'er so severely. He actually really couldn't make this decision, but today was already the greatest favor he had given her. From today onwards, he wouldn't want to see her again. Yes, he wouldn't!

Xuan Ye turned and looked towards the Chief Eunuch of the Distinguished Room, Gu Wenxing, who accompanied him here, "Gu Wenxing, issue an order for the surrender of the Imperial Concubine Rong to be an agreement, and then move to the Yanxi Palace's side room." Xuan Ye paused for a moment, before continuing: "Tell her that we don't want to see her anymore, let her think it over carefully, I hope she will do her best."

"Your majesty, are you really not giving the Imperial Concubine Rong another chance to explain?" had already asked him carefully, and told him to ask the emperor to investigate the matter again no matter what. The Imperial Concubine Rong was wrongly accused, and seeing as what Xiao Qing had said was true, he naturally believed him. However, the emperor's expression had been extremely ugly recently, and he did not dare to bring it up, but seeing that the emperor had passed down the order, he had no choice but to muster up his courage to ask.

"Gu Wenxing, we know that you are close to them, so there is no need for you to plead for her in front of us. It's useless, the evidence is complete, do not mention it again, quickly pass down the decree, or else we will punish you together with us!" Xuan Ye said angrily.

"Yes, your servant has decreed!" Gu Wenxing hurriedly replied, but in his heart he couldn't help but think that this time, the emperor had already decided the crime of Imperial Concubine Rong, and there was complete evidence. The emperor must have been too angry and lost his judgement, and a servant like him was still suspicious of everything. If not for the fact that the emperor had a deep friendship with the Imperial Concubine Rong, the emperor wouldn't have lost his cool this time, thinking that the Imperial Concubine Rong had disappointed him. Maybe after a period of time, when the emperor was calm again, he would be able to figure this out himself, and then, it wouldn't be too late to talk about it for the Imperial Concubine Rong. It's a pity that the Imperial Concubine Rong would have to suffer for a few days first.
