I just want to live a happy life

After the man left, the emperor glanced at Ruyi.

For some reason, Ruyi suddenly shuddered all over and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Mr. Shen, please go back to your seat first."

Ah Ruo was helped up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The concubines looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Weren't they interrogating A Ruo? Why did they let her go back?

But looking at the emperor's cold face, no one spoke, except Ruyi, of course.

Ruyi did not give the emperor any face in public. She asked, "Your Majesty, Ah Ruo must know what happened back then. Why don't you continue to interrogate her?"

The emperor was not angry. He knew that Ruyi liked to say inappropriate things at inappropriate occasions. He said calmly, "Noble Lady Xian, who gave you the courage to question me?"

The emperor's words were full of majesty. Ruyi was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything else: "I dare not."

He then said, "Lady Xian, let me ask you again, are you really unaware of what happened back then?"

Ruyi looked at the emperor with grievance, she pouted and said: "Your Majesty, I have never done it. I am not such a cruel person."

The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly slammed the table in front of him. He was furious and said, "You still don't admit it."

The emperor's sudden rage startled everyone, and they quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

At this time, Ruyi became stubborn. She did not kneel down with the others, but stiffened her neck and said unyieldingly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why should I admit to something I have never done?"

The emperor said, "You still refuse to admit it. I have spent a lot of manpower to investigate the truth and released you from the cold palace. You have really wasted my trust in you."

"It is only now that I realize that what happened back then was not wrong at all. It was really you who did it."

The man who just came in said in the emperor's ear that Concubine Xian had asked Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi to put cinnabar in the fish and shrimp eaten by Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi and in the charcoal basin, in order to kill their children.

At that time, they were discussing how to pin the blame for their children's deaths on the Queen, Concubine Hui and others, but what Ruyi had not expected was that Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi would turn against them and tell the truth.

What made Ruyi even more unbelievable was that A Ruo actually saw everything she did and told it in front of everyone. Ruyi had no way to prove her innocence and could only be sent to the cold palace.

In order to clear her name, Ruyi privately contacted the Ulanara family and asked them to send money to Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi's families in the name of A Ruo.

Just wait for the Emperor to find out today about A Ruo's gift of silver to prove that A Ruo was guilty. In this way, Ruyi can also prove her innocence.

The emperor looked at Ruyi and said, "Lady Xian, do you have anything else to say? The testimony just now was spoken by the captured Ulanara family members themselves, and they signed and sealed it, so it cannot be false."

Speaking of this, he was very angry. Why would he tell the results of his investigation in front of so many people? After all, he still believed in Ruyi's innocence. After all, in his opinion, Ruyi was almost dead after being murdered in the cold palace. He believed that there must be a murderer behind the scenes who was killing people to silence them and wanted Ruyi, the framed person, to die in the cold palace. Now it seems that all this is Ruyi crying thief.

She wanted to use this to get out of the cold palace.

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Hui, Jin Yuyan and A Ruo were all very happy. They were the ones who were responsible for the incident back then, so didn't they know what the truth was?

Although they didn't know how the emperor could have found out such a result, they were sure that their suspicion had been ruled out, and the death of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi's children was pinned on Ruyi.

No matter how Ruyi explains, she can never prove her innocence. Ruyi, Ruyi, you won't be as lucky this time as last time.

Everyone was looking at Ruyi, but she was in a daze, no one knew what she was thinking.

Meipin stood up, walked to Ruyi again and slapped her: "Bitch, I almost believed you just now, but in the end, you still killed my child."

Ruyi's head tilted when she was hit, and she blinked, seemingly unable to react to the blow.

Seeing Ruyi being beaten, Rong Pei's eyes flickered behind her. She clenched her hands, gritted her teeth, and after thinking for a moment, she finally made up her mind.

She trotted to the emperor, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this,惢心 couldn't help but smile. Ruyi was really unpopular. Everyone around her betrayed her.

However, this is what Ruyi deserves.

At this time, the emperor had just ordered someone to pull Concubine Mei away. He looked at the person kneeling on the ground. He knew that this person was the personal maid beside Ruyi, but he didn't know what she was going to say.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Rong Pei glanced at Ruyi and said in front of her incredulous eyes, "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I am the personal maidservant of Concubine Xian. I was assigned to serve Concubine Xian after she left the cold palace."

"As a servant serving beside Lady Xian, I know her very well. Lady Xian is not the tolerant and kind person she appears to be. She is a cruel and ruthless person."

"Not only does Concubine Xian often deduct the monthly allowances of me and other maids and eunuchs in the Yikun Palace, she also often beats and scolds me. What I said is absolutely true. This is something that everyone who serves Concubine Xian knows."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves in front of everyone, revealing her arms. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Rong Pei's arms were covered with criss-crossing, dense whip marks of varying depths and shallows. One could tell at a glance that she had been beaten many times, and very severely, because there was not a single piece of good flesh as far as the eye could see.

This is the case on the arms, not to mention on the body, which will definitely be more serious than on the arms.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at Ruyi with sarcasm and contempt.

There was no trace of guilt on Ruyi's face. Instead, she stared at Rong Pei with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Rong Pei had said all these things in front of everyone without her consent.

She didn't expect Rong Pei to stab her at this time.

Before Rong Pei finished speaking, she continued, "Your Majesty, although I have served Concubine Xian for a short time, I still know something about the murder of the heirs of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi."

"When I was on night watch, I once heard Concubine Xian mumbling in her sleep. She said, she said..."

Meipin was the most impatient. She couldn't help but ask, "What did Concubine Xian say? Tell me."

Rong Pei showed an expression of fearlessness, and she said: "Madam Xian said that she did not intentionally kill the child of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi, so don't come to find her. I heard it at the time and moved closer. I also saw that Madam Xian had a scared expression in her sleep."
