All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Bu Ji raised his head with a look of shock. He couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Li Ji and called him unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, I..."

This must be such a huge hatred and resentment that they even had to bring out witnesses to convict her.

She was unlucky to have to deal with such a capricious emperor. She should really wait for forty or fifty years before traveling through time.

No, forty or fifty years is too long. According to their general lifespan, the Chu and Jin states would have to change every twenty or thirty years.

"you shut up."

Li Ji showed her no mercy at all. He had a cold face and no one knew what was wrong with him. He didn't even let her speak.

He was the kind of person who hugged her and called her his beloved the day before yesterday.

The expression on the empress dowager's face looked much better. She looked at the emperor calmly, then glanced at the woman on the ground with squinted eyes as if she didn't care.

Let’s see who can save her today.

Last time, the poisoned wine was not fed to her mouth because the emperor was bewitched by her. This time it is different. When the prince wakes up, he will settle accounts with this seductive woman who seduced the emperor.

The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, Lin Chengrui walked over quickly and bowed to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and to the Empress Dowager."

He is a military officer, a meritorious official who has followed the emperor in battle, and the nephew of the empress dowager. As long as he is not in the main hall, he does not have to stick to complicated etiquette and there is no need for kneeling.

The empress dowager responded softly, and her delicately painted eyebrows raised up with a proud expression. She was not old, and was about forty years old, which was the right time for her to dress up.

Whenever she moved, a faint floral scent wafted towards her face, and the jingling sound of her pearl and jade accessories adorning her body filled her body.

Li Ji said in a deep voice.

"Lord Lin, do you know why I summoned you here?"

Lin Chengrui straightened his back, stood upright, with a long sword tucked behind his waist, his right hand naturally resting on it, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice from his dantian into his throat.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bu Ji didn't dare to look into his eyes at all. She didn't know when he sobered up and whether he really saw her appearance clearly.

The Queen Mother reached out and patted Lin Chengrui on the shoulder. There was no alienation between the aunt and her nephew.

It’s possible that Commander Lin privately called her aunt instead of Empress Dowager.

"Rui'er, tell me, is the fake palace maid we met at Donghua Gate a few hours ago Bu Ji?"

The Queen Mother pointed at Bu Ji, and her pure gold armor inlaid with rubies suddenly stretched out in front of Bu Ji's face, almost poking her eyes.

On the surface, her words seem to be a question, but in fact they are statements.

She deliberately guided Lin Chengrui to say what she wanted to hear in order to convict Bu Ji.

Li Ji watched from the side, his eyes even darker than the night. He took half a step forward. The dragon robe was wide enough, so no one would notice if he retracted his foot.

Bu Ji closed his eyes tightly, then slowly opened them, and happened to meet Lin Chengrui's gaze.

He was looking her over, from head to toe.

Fortunately, when she was drinking in Kunning Palace, she spilled the wine glass and changed her clothes, otherwise, Lin Chengrui would have recognized her at a glance.

You can't see a drunk person's facial features, but you can see clearly what clothes he's wearing and what hairstyle he has.

She turned her eyes slightly, but saw Li Ji also staring at her face two steps away. Her face fell instantly, and she looked away just before she rolled her eyes.

He just turned around, smiled at Lin Chengrui and said.

"Master Lin, do you think I am someone who sneaked out of the palace?"

"It's just that the people under your command misjudged me. I clearly didn't even leave the palace."

This was the first time that Lin Chengrui met a woman who spoke like this. There were tears in her eyes, and her words took three turns, with a coquettish and gentle tone.

He quickly lowered his head, his earlobes turned red, and it took him a while to make a sound.

"you......"

Li Ji watched Bu Ji smiling at Lin Chengrui, her smile was so seductive and alluring that he could not stand it anymore and walked forward to scold Lin Chengrui loudly.

"Tell the Queen Mother everything you saw."

Bu Ji was stunned.

Didn’t Lin Chengrui come here to testify against her? Why did he have to report the situation to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager knew everything.

She didn't understand what Li Ji was going to do, and her attention was not on thinking about this matter, but on her aching wrist.

A large hand grasped her wrist with such force, as if afraid that she would grow wings and fly away.

Lin Chengrui's voice came to my ears.

"Your Highness, the fake palace maid I saw was not the noble lady Bu in front of me."

The Queen Mother was furious and threw the Buddhist beads in her hand, as if she hated him for not living up to her expectations.

"Lin Chengrui, you are so brave, I am your aunt!"

They have the same surname, Lin, and are both blood relatives. If he doesn't follow her words, it would be outrageous.

Lin Chengrui immediately knelt on one knee, holding the sword in his hand, and spoke in a humble manner.

"Please calm down, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother's sharp gaze moved from above his head to fall on the Emperor.

“That’s a nice look.”

"Just like your father."

Li Ji lowered his eyes, his small movements hidden under his wide sleeves. While the empress dowager was scolding him, he took Bu Ji's hand with his backhand.

The two held hands, transmitting each other's body temperatures which were very slightly different.

The slightly calloused palms are large and warm, while the smooth palms are slightly cool and trembling.

Bu Ji didn't dare to move, for fear that the Queen Mother would see their little movements.

Li Ji's cunning was beyond her understanding. He could even set up a trap to manipulate his own mother, and turned the matter upside down.

I guess he had already set up the chess game when he first came over.

Let the Queen Mother relax her vigilance, attract witnesses, and clear Bu Ji's suspicion in person. Everyone in the palace is watching, so the Queen Mother will not punish her.

When Xiu Yu saw that the situation was not right, she knew that the emperor and Lord Lin were in collusion, so she hurried forward to persuade them.

"Her Majesty, if she shows her hand once, she will do it again. Why do you have to sacrifice your dignity and rush to punish her today?"

The empress dowager thought that what Xiu Yu said made sense. She glanced at Bu Ji, then swept her displeased gaze across the emperor and Lin Chengrui and said.

"I am old, and my eyesight is inevitably dim. I am not as good as the young Emperor and Lord Lin."

"I've been standing for so long, I'm tired. Xiuyu, help me back to the palace."

Xiu Yu had already prepared a square sedan chair, carried by eight young eunuchs. It had a red top and yellow tassels, and looked quite majestic.

She helped the empress dowager into the sedan chair, and the eunuch Fu'an beside her shouted loudly.

"Get up the sedan~"

After the Empress Dowager left, Lin Chengrui also said goodbye, as he was eager to return to his work.

Until there were only four people left on the palace road: the emperor, Bu Ji, Wang Huai, and Li Er.

Li Ji just let go of his hand, and Bu Ji's palms were already full of sweat.

She was embarrassed to go see the emperor. After all, she had just greeted his ancestors in a hurry.

Li Ji coughed twice, and Wang Huai walked forward and pulled Li'er away. Li'er looked back every three steps and followed Wang Huai to stand by the palace wall.

The emperor and his young mistress stood side by side on the palace road, one tall, one short, one wide, one narrow.

Blocked by the emperor's strong and broad shoulders, she could hardly see her master.
