Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!

The empress longed to scream, but she couldn't.

She is the queen.

The Empress looked at Emperor Jiaheng with a forced smile and said sarcastically, "Why doesn't Your Majesty go and see Consort Liang? She was just talking about you."

Emperor Jiaheng sipped his tea leisurely, saying, "I'll talk to Consort Liang after she's finished with her work."

Consort Yi: ...

Lower your head silently.

Oh yo~

This tea smells so good!

Shu Jiao smiled silently, standing behind Emperor Jiaheng, her gaze fixed on Consort Liang.

Consort Liang truly lived up to everyone's expectations.

She staggered toward Consort Hui and Consort De.

When Consort Hui and Consort De saw her like that, they exchanged glances and immediately separated to the left and right.

Consort Liang sneered and chased after Consort De, calling out, "Sister Consort De~"

Consort De: ? ? ?

Get sick!

Can't tell the difference between the two jokers?

Just then, Consort Hui watched as the puppy she had been raising in the palace headed straight for Consort Liang.

Consort Liang tugged at her handkerchief and cried out in surprise, "Ah—!" She swayed and grabbed Consort De.

Consort De instinctively wanted to push her away, but in a flash, her mind raced, and her hand firmly held onto Consort Liang—

Don't even think about framing me!

Before she could even apply any force, Consort Liang pushed her away.

"Consort De! Why did you push me..."

Before falling, Consort Liang shouted loudly, and soon after, blood began to flow from her abdomen.

Consort De: ? ? ?

No, Your Majesty?

Who pushed whom?

You're making baseless accusations without any evidence!

Emperor Jiaheng, Empress, and Shu Jiao: ...

Consort Liang, isn't your scheme—well, let's just call it a scheme for now—aren't it a bit too obvious?

As for Consort Hui, her lips twitched, and she understood.

Regardless of how her puppies escaped, if Consort Liang loses her puppies in this accident, the blame will fall on her head, and she won't be able to get rid of it.

Although she was indeed the one who started it, she was truly unwilling to accept being implicated in this way.

For a moment, apart from the exclamations, everyone's eyes turned to Emperor Jiaheng.

Consort Liang's methods were too clumsy.

Everyone present could see it...

Yes, there are some, like Consort Rou, who is looking at Consort Liang with pity right now.

In short, it all depends on which side Emperor Jiaheng will take.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Emperor Jiaheng remained unfazed. "Summon the Imperial Physician. Consort Hui and Consort De, temporarily confine your palaces to reflect on your mistakes."

understood.

This is on the side of Consort Liang.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent."

Consort De and Consort Hui immediately begged for mercy on their behalf.

"Go back to the palace."

Emperor Jiaheng waved his sleeve impatiently and strode towards Consort Liang's palace.

The Empress was inwardly rolling her eyes to the heavens, but on the surface she had to put on a pitying expression, "Your Majesty, I was negligent and did not know when Consort Liang was pregnant with the Emperor's child..."

"It's alright. Consort Liang wants to keep it a secret for three months, so it won't be your fault."

Emperor Jiaheng's Way.

After completing the formalities, the emperor and empress quickly left.

When they arrived, Consort Liang had already fainted from the pain, and the child was gone.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Jiaheng sent Consort Hui and Consort De to a complete service of demotion and confinement.

“Let’s call that child Fu Rui. If you’re reluctant, secretly copy some scriptures to bless him with happiness and peace in his next life.”

After Consort Liang awoke, Emperor Jiaheng said the following.

Consort Liang's nose immediately stung, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Fu Rui, Fu Rui... my Fu Rui..."

It's all her fault for being so foolish, falling for someone else's scheme, which prevented Fu Rui from ever being born.

Oh, her good fortune!

"Alright, you should get some rest."

Emperor Jiaheng got up and left.

"emperor."

"Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Consort Liang raised her eyes slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She knew that her little scheme couldn't be hidden from Emperor Jiaheng, but he chose to indulge her, which meant he still had some feelings for her.

She also knew that at this time, showing weakness and quickly gaining favor was the best option.

But she can't.

She really can't do it!

Emperor Jiaheng hummed in agreement, his voice softening slightly, "Get some rest."

【have a good rest.】

Behind them, Shu Jiao and Sun Wenzhong exchanged glances.

It was fortunate that Emperor Jiaheng didn't turn back, otherwise he would have been furious with those two.

After the incident involving Consort Liang, the palace remained quiet for a while.

As a result, Shu Jiao's income also decreased.

Shu Jiao was very unhappy.

The only thing they could do was sell news about Emperor Jiaheng whenever they had free time, and it was still worth a little money.

Fortunately, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and the palace was about to hold a new round of Dragon Boat Festival banquets, so Shu Jiao went up to join in the fun.

Hiding in a corner, listening to everything from the east and the west.

Finally, with a look of "surprise" on his face, he went back to see Emperor Jiaheng.

As soon as Emperor Jiaheng saw her arrive, he casually tossed the memorial aside.

Fruits, pastries, and tea were already laid out on the table.

"Your Majesty, guess what I just heard?"

Shu Jiao raised an eyebrow, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

Emperor Jiaheng didn't respond to her words, but instead pushed a box towards her. Inside the box was a pair of heavy, full-weight gold bracelets inlaid with pearls and carved.

The biggest financial backer is right here!

Shu Jiao skillfully slipped the bracelet into her hand. "Your Majesty, today the Duchess of Cui and the Princess of Yongkang were discussing their marriage."

Emperor Jiaheng asked incredulously, "Marriage? Who? It can't be the second son of the Duke of Cui's family and the daughter of the Prince of Yongkang's family, can it?"

Shu Jiao nodded.

Emperor Jiahe:? ? ?

"The two of them? Who came up with that idea?"

Cui Er, she had a huge fight with her family over an actress; the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Yongkang, was known throughout the capital for her bad temper and strong fighting skills.

These two together...

Could it be that Cui Er was beaten to death by the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Yongkang just two months after their marriage?

"That's them."

Shu Jiao said with certainty, "Moreover, the probability of success is very high."

If you say this matter cannot be accomplished, then Emperor Jiaheng will have no interest whatsoever; if you say this matter can be accomplished, then Emperor Jiaheng's interest will "suddenly" be piqued.

"how is this possible?"

Emperor Jiaheng casually scooped up some melon seeds and said, "Tell me carefully, there's definitely something fishy going on here."

"Your Majesty, you guessed correctly."

Shu Jiao clapped her hands lightly, "You know that the second young master of the Duke Cui's mansion has a mistress he treats like his precious darling."

"I know, it's a man. I heard he's an actor from Jiangnan."

Emperor Jiaheng remained calm. "Actually, this is not surprising."

"It's not surprising. But..."

but?

Emperor Jiaheng curled his lip. "You've accepted everything. Stop playing games with me. Otherwise, I'll deduct your salary."

"No! No, no!"

Shu Jiao chuckled softly, "It is said, just said, that the mistress that the second young master Cui keeps looks seven or eight parts similar to the young mistress of Cui."

Cui...

Who?

Emperor Jiaheng's eyes widened. "Young Madam Cui? You mean..."

Shu Jiao said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's his sister-in-law."

Emperor Jiaheng: ? ? ?

"Huh? Cui Er... he can't be, right?"

As a human being, one cannot, at least should not... Cui Er's elder brother, Prince Cui, is still alive, and you're already thinking about him?

That's not a good idea.
