The passers-by are vicious

Yonghan Palace

When Jiang Wanwan arrived, Yuwen Xi was already sitting upright drinking tea, with a calm expression and no emotion in his eyes.

When he noticed Jiang Wanwan coming, a gentle expression appeared on his face. "You're here," he said, and then he stood up and helped her.

After Jiang Wanwan sat down, she adjusted the hairpin on her head and leaned slightly to ask, "Your Majesty, how is Concubine Li? I came here as soon as I heard the news. I was taking a short break and only had time to change my clothes casually."

"It's not a big deal." Yuwen Xi touched her hand and said lightly, then he glanced at the imperial physician and raised his chin.

The imperial physician naturally received the emperor's signal and quickly bowed to Jiang Wanwan to explain, "Madam Li's head hit the pillar and the wound is bleeding. She is still in a coma."

"As for when he will wake up...I can't say for sure." The imperial physician said as he glanced at Zhou Hai who was standing next to Yuwen Xi from time to time. After getting his gaze, he hurriedly spoke more seriously.

Jiang Wanwan was a little surprised and covered her mouth with her hands, "It's so serious."

Yuwen Xi leaned over slightly and whispered something in Jiang Wanwan's ear. She understood and nodded as she said to the imperial physician, "Then you must do your best to treat Li Fei."

"I will follow your Majesty's orders and do my best to wake Concubine Li up."

Looking at the imperial physician who was pretending to kneel down and kowtow to her, Jiang Wanwan just nodded.

If Yuwen Xi hadn't just told her what happened, she might have really thought it was that serious.

I didn't expect that the emperor would deliberately stage this scene. It seems that he had discussed it with Li Ranyan in advance.

However, she did not have the slightest sense of crisis. If Li Ranyan really took advantage of this opportunity to snatch away Yuwen Xi's favor, she would not be afraid.

Anyway, Jiang Wanwan has both money and her father's official position have been promoted. Even if Yuwen Xi really falls in love with someone else, as long as she is still Consort Chenxian, she will not lose out.

As long as the position does not surpass her, she does not care even if someone else steals her favor.

Because she had never thought of relying on the emperor's fleeting love to be the only one favored forever, because she believed in herself and interests more than she believed in men.

Zhou Hai, who was standing next to Yuwen Xi, suddenly bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Cao is still kneeling outside. Should we let her in?"

Yuwen Xi just picked up the teacup, took a sip and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan knew that the emperor was hesitating on purpose, and suddenly said, "The sun is so bright today, let Concubine Cao come in to question her."

Yuwen Xi then put down the cup and waved his sleeves indifferently, "Since Concubine Xian has said so, why don't you let Concubine Cao in?"

Hearing the voices coming from the hall that could not tell whether they were happy or angry, Concubine Cao felt a little nervous, but she still walked into the hall and bowed to Yuwen Xi and Jiang Wanwan.

"I greet the Emperor and His Majesty, and I greet the Concubine Xian."

"Hmm." Yuwen Xi, who was sitting above, put his hands on the armrest and responded lightly, but he did not mean to ask Concubine Cao to get up.

Concubine Cao could only try her best to maintain the posture of saluting. She looked up cautiously and saw that the emperor was looking at her coldly. Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that the bitch Li Ranyan was seriously injured?

Jiang Wanwan looked at Yuwen Xi and nodded. She stood up from her chair and walked to Concubine Cao. "Concubine Cao, what happened today? How did Concubine Li bump into the pillar?"

"Now her wound can't stop bleeding, and she has fallen into a coma. The imperial doctors are helpless. If she doesn't wake up... you."

Although the unfinished words were not spoken, everyone present could hear them clearly.

"What?" Concubine Cao was stunned by Jiang Wanwan's warmth. When she heard that Li Ranyan was still in a coma and might not wake up, Concubine Cao panicked.

She didn't mean to do that, she just pushed Li Ranyan lightly, how come she bumped into the pillar and it was so serious.

After Caopin realized what was happening, she quickly raised her head and explained, "Your Majesty is wronged. I did not push Lipin. It was she who sent the palace maids away and said she wanted to apologize to me for the banquet."

"But I didn't expect that after the palace servants left, she suddenly changed her face and mocked me for being defeated by her and a useless straw bag. I was so angry that I pushed her lightly."

"Who would have thought that she was so weak that she actually bumped into the pillar. This concubine did not mean to do that, Your Majesty."

"Just a slight push almost caused Concubine Li to die on the spot." Yuwen Xi snorted with a hint of sarcasm.

"I never thought there were so many capable people in my harem. First there was Li Concubine who sacrificed her own relatives for the sake of justice, and now there is Cao Concubine who is so strong that she can give a slight push."

Zhou Hai at the side interrupted appropriately, "A servant said that he saw Concubine Cao pushing Concubine Li towards the pillar. It seemed that she used a lot of strength."

"No nonsense, I didn't."

"But I really saw that it was Concubine Cao who pushed Concubine Li against the pillar." A palace maid walked in from outside in panic and knelt on the ground.

"No, Your Majesty is very clear. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have never done anything." Concubine Cao hurriedly denied it, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She felt that she had no way to defend herself at this moment.

"How dare you, a lowly slave, slander me."

Concubine Cao no longer had the arrogance she had before. She immediately shouted at the palace maid who had come out to testify and was about to slap her in the face, but was stopped by the young eunuch behind her.

The palace maid kneeling on the ground was frightened by Concubine Cao's appearance and shrank back and kowtowed, saying tremblingly: "Every word I said is true, I hope the emperor will understand."

Concubine Cao was already panicking and talking nonsense. She struggled desperately to go forward and grab the corner of Yuwen Xi's clothes, but he dodged it with a slight movement. Seeing Concubine Cao almost touching him, Yuwen Xi's eyes flashed with annoyance and his face couldn't help but become cold.

Caopin only felt that Yuwen Xi's eyes looking at her were as cold as a dead person. She couldn't help but tremble, and she lowered her head and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I don't like that bitch Lipin, but I don't mean to kill her."

"Oh?" Yuwen Xi raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by what Caopin said. "Since it wasn't intentional, why are you afraid?"

Jiang Wanwan sat next to Yuwen Xi, watching Concubine Cao as if she was watching a play. She found it funny to see her shaking her head in panic and trying desperately to find excuses, regardless of her image.

How stupid! This was a deliberate plan by the Emperor and Concubine Li to punish Concubine Cao and the Cao family behind her. No matter how she defended herself, she could not produce any evidence to prove her innocence.

How could Concubine Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, dare to say that she was frightened by Yuwen Xi's eyes? Fortunately, she was smart at the critical moment. "I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand me, so I am so scared."

"Yeah."

Yuwen Xi looked at Concubine Cao with a smile, tapping his fingers back and forth on the armrest.
