Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

The imperial concubine was still lying in the emperor's arms crying, saying that she was wrong and must pay with her life.

The emperor comforted her, "It's my fault. I didn't consider your feelings, which led to the tragedy."

"I am sorry for you and Rou'er."

"Father, you have not let mother down. Mother has told me since I was a child that my biological father is the greatest man in the world, and she did not love the wrong person."

Wang Ruixuan suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Even though the Wang family was wiped out, her appearance was ruined, and she had to live in darkness for the rest of her life, she never blamed you. Before she died, the thing she wanted most was to see you, but it was a pity that she never got her wish."

Wang Ruixuan couldn't help crying as he said this. "I have been without a father since I was a child, and I don't know who my father is. Today I finally found you."

Hearing his heartfelt words, the emperor quickly let go of the imperial concubine and stepped forward to help Wang Ruixuan up.

"Silly child, you have a father, and I am your father."

What is more lethal than the white moonlight is the dead white moonlight.

Both the imperial concubine and Wang Rou are the white moonlight in the emperor's heart. The difference is that one is still alive and the other is dead.

As long as there is someone who keeps reminding the emperor, the dead will always be missed more than the living.

What's more, Wang Rou left behind a child.

"Father, the reason why my mother didn't make it to see you is because of the tragedy of the Wang family. She was depressed. What she hoped most was to clear the name of the Wang family."

Wang Ruixuan raised his innocent face, "But if mother knew that this matter would make father so embarrassed, she would probably rather leave with this secret than let it be revealed."

"I know I was wrong, and I will not report the Imperial Concubine. She is my father's most beloved woman, and I do not want to embarrass him."

"I only hope that Father will pretend that he has never seen me and send me back to Jiangnan to accompany my mother and my grandparents. It is my fault that I cannot avenge them. I am willing to pay it back with my whole life."

The imperial concubine looked at the ten-year-old child with some surprise. She had already controlled the emperor so that he would not blame her too much for this matter.

But the ten-year-old Wang Ruixuan also used the tactic of retreating to advance.

After hearing his words, the emperor would only feel more guilty towards him and the Wang family.

Not only will they not let him go, they will also pity him even more.

Indeed, the emperor said.

"You are a real prince, so you should stay by my side. You are still a child, and this matter has nothing to do with you. There is nothing wrong with you."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, this matter is the fault of the imperial concubine. No matter what the purpose is, the Wang family died because of you."

The emperor said coldly, "Those who deserve punishment must be punished."

"I plead guilty, and I only ask that the emperor grant me death to pay for the Wang family's life."

The imperial concubine still spoke firmly, as if she was really willing to pay for the Wang family's life.

The emperor sighed, "After all, it was just a momentary mistake. Your crime is not punishable by death. I will punish you by demoting you to a noble lady. You are not allowed to leave the palace for half a year. You must copy scriptures and pray for blessings at the royal family every day to atone for your sins."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine gladly accepted it, after all, it was nothing to her.

It’s just that the rank downgrade from Imperial Concubine to Imperial Lady is a bit too much, but it’s also within the acceptable range for her.

"Xuan'er, what do you think about this?"

The emperor also symbolically asked Wang Ruixuan.

Wang Ruixuan lowered his head and did not answer. How could he be satisfied?

Dozens of lives lost in the Wang family and all the suffering my mother had endured in the past ten years were caused by this woman. Now all that could be wiped out simply by demoting her status.

It's not that easy.

Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Queen requests an audience."

The emperor frowned slightly, "Didn't I tell her to wait outside first?"

"Father, the Queen Mother might have something important to tell you. Why don't you let her in first?"

Xie Junyi is now extremely disappointed with the emperor. No matter how much he values ​​Wang Rou, it turns out that she is still not as good as the imperial concubine.

"Let her in."

The emperor said in a cold voice that he was always annoyed with this queen.

Maybe the queen is just like those aristocratic families, always putting pressure on him and making him feel suffocated.

When facing those aristocratic families, he sometimes felt that he was not the emperor, but they were.

They will oppose whatever you do.

Sooner or later, he will eliminate all these aristocratic families.

The Queen walked in and bowed slowly, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty, half a month ago, Concubine Jing came to me and complained to the Imperial Concubine, saying that the child in her belly was killed by the Imperial Concubine."

Before the queen finished speaking, the imperial concubine quickly refuted.

"That's nonsense, Queen. Even if you want to get rid of me, you can't just frame me with a crime."

The Queen looked at her calmly and continued, "I am unwilling to believe it either, but Concubine Jing has evidence. In addition, I have investigated for the past half month and found that only a few concubines in the harem have become pregnant over the years. This is because they were all poisoned, which made them unable to conceive."

"And this poison was given by the Imperial Concubine. Every time the Emperor appointed a concubine, the Imperial Concubine would send someone to give them a gift, including bracelets, sachets, and hairpins. Without exception, these things were all filled with musk."

After saying that, the maidservant beside the queen presented all the things sent by the imperial concubine.

"If there were any unwanted pregnancies, the Imperial Concubine would have them aborted. These are all evidence."

Although the imperial concubine acted in secret and physical evidence is hard to find, there are witnesses.

The imperial concubine can use money and power to bribe those people, so the queen will naturally use these means to make them bite back at the imperial concubine.

The Queen had known about these things for a long time, but given the Imperial Concubine's favor in the past, it was estimated that the Emperor would not do anything to her even if the evidence was placed before her.

He would just give a few mild reprimands and a minor punishment.

Maybe the imperial concubine will make up an excuse with other reasons.

But it’s just right to take it out now.

The emperor was already angry because of Wang Rou's matter, and the imperial concubine's reason for rebuttal was that she didn't know Wang Rou was pregnant.

Now that the evidence of murdering the royal heir has been laid out, her lies have been exposed.

She has harmed many royal heirs, so why would she care about Wang Ruixuan?

She didn't choose to take action out of momentary jealousy, but because she knew Wang Rou was pregnant, she took action in advance.

It's true that she is jealous and cruel.

The innocent little white rabbit suddenly turned into a poisonous snake. I wonder if the emperor can accept it.
