Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

"Hong'er's mother was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment. Taoxiang promised her that if she put snowweed in Concubine Jiang's rouge and said it was the concubine who ordered it, she would give her money to treat her mother."

"From the beginning to the end, Concubine Li was trying to kill two birds with one stone. I beg Your Majesty and the Queen to understand this!"

Liu Ruyan knew, of course, that a small nobleman could not do such a thorough job, and there must be someone behind him. But that was not something she could handle right now.

The most important thing for her is to expose Concubine Li and clear herself of suspicion.

Jiang Wanning was a little confused. Could it be that she really had chosen the wrong enemy?

Concubine Li knelt on the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! All this was fabricated by Liu Ying to get away with it!"

"Liu promised, Concubine Jiang and I have no grudges in the past or in the present, why would I take such a big risk to murder her?!"

Liu Ruyan's voice was gentle and clear, "Because on the day when the whole palace came to the audience, you and Concubine Zhou were punished by Concubine Jiang to kneel together, so you hold a grudge against her."

She suspected that Concubine Zhou was also involved in this matter, but she had no evidence, so she did not plan to involve Concubine Zhou for the time being.

Jiang Wanning then belatedly remembered that when she came out of Kunning Palace that day, she heard two maids gossiping about her, so she used her status to put pressure on them and punished them by making them kneel for several hours.

One of them seemed to be this woman! After serving the emperor in bed, she was promoted from a concubine to a noble lady.

In an instant, Jiang Wanning's sharp eyes fell on Li Guiren: "Bitch, are you really the one who hurt me?!"

Li Guiren's eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't! Taoxiang and Hong'er are indeed distant relatives, but she has never instructed Hong'er to do those things!"

"I don't know why Liu wanted to throw such dirty water on me. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Liu Ruyan lowered her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Fortunately, their Liu family had a concubine during the previous emperor's time. Although she was not very favored, she had accumulated some connections in the palace. If it weren't for those connections and the people her father left for her outside the palace, she really wouldn't be able to find out the truth.

"See for yourself!"

A hint of impatience flashed across Nangong Xuanyu's eyes, and he directly threw the evidence at Concubine Li.

It clearly stated when Hong'er's mother became seriously ill, when the family suddenly had a large sum of money for medical treatment, and when Taoxiang came into contact with Hong'er and gave her the snow grass.

"You still dare to quibble. Do you want me to order Taoxiang to be dragged to the Ministry of Punishment and tortured severely?"

Tao Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground: "I don't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment! My lady, please save me! Please save me..."

The moment she saw the evidence, Concubine Li knew that she was finished!

In fact, all of this was instigated by Concubine Liu. Otherwise, with her family background, even if she was bullied by Concubine Jiang, she would not have the courage to retaliate.

But Li Guiren couldn't say anything, because if she took the charge, she would be the only one to die; if she gave up Concubine Liu, the entire Li family would probably face a catastrophe.

Perhaps Concubine Liu would help the Li family because of her loyalty.

Finally, Li Guiren bowed deeply, her face full of tears: "I have nothing to say, I... plead guilty..."

"Oh it's you!"

Jiang Wanning was extremely angry and stepped forward and kicked her hard: "You bitch, you are really good at hiding! You dare to ruin my face, I will make you live a life worse than death!!!"

Nangong Xuanyu scolded: "Enough!"

Although Jiang Wanning was a victim, her arrogance and domineering attitude always made him very displeased.

"His Majesty……"

When facing Nangong Xuanyu, Jiang Wanning changed her expression again. She pursed her lips and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You must make the decision for me..."

If it was Jiang Wanning in the past, she would be cute and lovely with this expression. But now her face was covered with thick powder, and some places were mottled and caked, which was really a bit irritating to the eyes.

Nangong Xuanyu didn't even look at her. He stepped forward and helped Liu Ruyan, whose face was still covered with tears, up: "You have been wronged these days."

"Pass on my decree, restore Concubine Wan's position and title, and reward her generously!"

When she first entered the palace, Liu Ruyan was still immersed in the emperor's tenderness, but after this incident, her heart had become extremely cold and hard.

How could the emperor not find out what she could find out? He just thought she was not that important and was too lazy to bother with her.

She will never be fooled by this false tenderness again!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty believes in me, I will not feel wronged..."

After all, Liu Ruyan is not like Shen Zhinian, who has lived two lives. Even if she tries hard to hide the resentment and grievance in her heart, some emotions still show.

For the emperor, it was always women who flattered him. Even if they were wronged, no one dared to show dissatisfaction in front of him. Naturally, he would not condescend to coax women.

Noticing Liu Ruyan's negative emotions, Nangong Xuanyu let her go.

His eyes fell on Li Guiren, and his tone was icy cold: "Li Guiren plotted to murder the imperial concubine and framed others. Your crime is even more serious! From today on, you will be demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace!"

"Palace maid Taoxiang, be beaten to death!"

An hour ago, she was the most favored newcomer in the harem, enjoying great glory; an hour later, she became an abandoned woman in the cold palace.

Concubine Li looked at the emperor sadly, with infinite emotions in her eyes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

She wanted to ask the emperor, was the favor he had shown her before all fake?

Is it possible that there is no place for her in His Majesty's heart...

Unfortunately, the eunuch had already gagged her and Taoxiang and dragged them out, so she would never have the chance to ask these questions.

At this moment, Li Guiren deeply realized that the emperor was ruthless! The emperor was ruthless...

The matter was over, and Nangong Xuanyu strode away.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"

Queen Jiang put on makeup, but it still couldn't hide her pale face. The look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Ruyan was loving but also a little apologetic.

"My Lady Wan, I have always known that you are a gentle and kind woman, and you would never do such a bad thing. But all the evidence points to you, and for the sake of the peace of the harem, I have no choice but to let His Majesty deal with you."

"The women in the harem are all my sisters. Seeing you being wronged, I am extremely heartbroken and will definitely compensate you."

Liu Ruyan knew that Queen Jiang pretended to be so kind just to maintain her image as a virtuous and generous mother of the country.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. You are in charge of the harem, and you have many things to do. You are not in good health, so it is inevitable that you will be careless. I understand all of this, and I will not blame you, nor do I feel wronged."
