"Your Majesty, please go first."

The imperial concubine made way for the queen to go in first.

Although in private, she never followed rules and etiquette with the queen.

But in front of the emperor, she always disguised herself well.

This meant that the Queen was completely helpless against her.

"Please go in first, Concubine. The Emperor only asked you to come and did not inform me."

She came uninvited, so of course she had to wait for the emperor's summons.

The imperial concubine was slightly stunned, and she didn't understand what these two people were doing.

However, the emperor was still waiting, and she didn't have time to deal with the queen, so she nodded and walked in.

The Queen's eyes were filled with worry. The Imperial Concubine didn't know Wang Ruixuan's identity, but she did.

She told Prince Qi that she would wait until there was sufficient evidence and then find a suitable time to reveal the matter to the emperor.

But what Prince Qi did today was not notified to himself.

He was too hasty in doing so.

With such a trump card, if Xie Junyi does not have enough evidence, it will give the imperial concubine a chance to turn things around.

My son is becoming more and more rash in the way he does things.

Inside the Imperial Study Room

As soon as the imperial concubine walked in, she felt the air pressure drop.

She first glanced at the emperor, but all he left her was his back, and she couldn't see his expression.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

The imperial concubine leaned forward and spoke softly.

The emperor did not rush forward to help her up as he did before. He still stood there motionless and just spoke in a deep voice.

"My Lady, look at that child, do you know him?"

Child, the imperial concubine knew that Xie Junyi brought a child into the palace, but she didn't see anyone when she came in.

After the emperor finished speaking, a head popped out from behind Xie Junyi.

When she saw the child's face clearly, the imperial concubine subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah~"

Long-lost memories also flooded towards her like a tide.

She almost forgot the existence of that woman. How could there be a child who looked so much like her?

She was obviously dead a long time ago.

Her face was pale and her body couldn't help shaking. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

"My Lady, why are you so surprised? Do you recognize this child? Or have you guessed something?"

The emperor turned around, and his sharp eyes shot towards the imperial concubine like swords.

The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and knelt down quickly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just a little surprised to see a child suddenly appear. I don't recognize this child and have never seen him before."

"You have naturally never seen him, because in your memory, he has long been dead."

The emperor's words made the imperial concubine certain that the child was that woman's.

It seems that she escaped death and secretly gave birth to the child. She was really patient and didn't show up until now.

She had forgotten all about them and no longer had anyone watching them.

I didn't expect it to appear now.

She tried hard to calm herself down, staring at the emperor with innocent eyes and tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I really don't understand. What is the relationship between this child and me?"

The emperor looked at her pure and flawless eyes and felt heartbroken. He once really thought that his concubine was the kindest person.

In front of him, she has always been the same as when he first met her, an innocent little girl.

He said sadly.

"I also hope that he really has nothing to do with you."

After that, the emperor threw the evidence collected by Xie Junyi at her.

"See for yourself."

"My Lady, I believe I have never let you down. No matter how many women are around me, you always come first."

The emperor said in a deep voice, "In this harem, the queen doesn't dare to do anything to you. But why do you treat Rou'er so cruelly?"

The imperial concubine had already burst into tears when she looked at the evidence. With all the witnesses and physical evidence, she had no way to defend herself.

She said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

"It's all because I'm too jealous. I've never seen the emperor so attentive to a woman. In order to please her, the emperor did many things he had never done before."

The imperial concubine fell into reminiscence, "The emperor and I released lanterns together, ate candied haws together, and flew kites together. Those are the things that I want to do with the emperor."

"But the emperor is of noble status and has never done anything like that with me. During the time in Jiangnan, the emperor and her were just like an ordinary couple, happy and joyful. But the emperor has never cared about my feelings. I am really going crazy with jealousy."

"Royal Concubine." There was some distress in the emperor's eyes. He had indeed neglected the Royal Concubine at that time.

"If you are unhappy, you can tell me. I can do these things with you."

"No, I don't want to embarrass the emperor. Perhaps Wang's daughter is the woman the emperor truly loves, and I am just taking advantage of the affection we had when we were young."

The Imperial Concubine became more and more sad as she spoke, her frail body swaying as if she were about to collapse. "I am jealous, but I also want the Emperor to be happy."

"On the way back to the capital, the emperor kept talking about Wang's daughter, and I was so obsessed with her that I made a big mistake."

"I really didn't know that Wang's daughter was pregnant. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to murder the heir to the throne."

She had just looked over the evidence and there was no evidence to prove that she had seen Wang's letter. So she could deny it and say that it was all just her jealousy and there was no other reason.

"Over the years, I have had nightmares every day and regretted every day, but I did not have the courage to confess everything to the emperor. Now I have finally let it go. I owe the lives of the Wang family, and I am willing to repay them with my life."

After saying this, she was about to ram her head against the pillar, but the emperor quickly stopped her.

"My Lady, please don't be like this. I never asked you to pay with your life."

It has to be said that the imperial concubine had a very accurate grasp of the emperor's thoughts. Although the emperor liked Wang Rou, ten years had passed and the feelings were no longer that deep.

Plus, the imperial concubine is the one who has always been by the emperor's side, so the relationship between them is naturally deeper than others.

She just regretted and cried, attributing it all to her love for the emperor, which led to her doing something wrong out of jealousy.

Now that she is willing to sacrifice her life again, the emperor naturally feels more pity than hatred for her.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude relaxed so easily, Xie Junyi and Wang Ruixuan both felt a chill in their hearts.

Especially Wang Ruixuan, he originally had expectations for his biological father and thought that he could avenge the Wang family.

But now, he let her go so easily just because of the imperial concubine's few words.

Suddenly I felt that my mother's persistence over the years was like a joke. It was really ridiculous.

If the mother saw this scene, she would probably regret having fallen in love with such a man.
