All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Bu Ji quickly patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Li'er and I have no intention of blaming you."

Cui Lihua straightened her back, suddenly pointed her finger at Li'er, and said with a snort.

"I don't know Qiu Sheng at all, and there is no such maid in Yanxi Palace. Don't make up stories like that."

"Do you know what the crime of slandering me is?"

She was a noble concubine, ranking below the empress, so slandering her was naturally a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of her clan.

Li'er was frightened by her aggressive aura. She didn't dare to respond and could not utter a word.

This made Wang Huai, who was standing by, extremely anxious. He stepped forward and said.

"Tell the emperor everything you know, and he will naturally do justice for Noble Bu."

Li Ji looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

If they all refuse to admit it, they will all be thrown into jail.

It is better to kill one person by mistake than to let anyone who hurts Bu Ji go.

When Cui Lihua heard Wang Huai say this, she knew who he was thinking about.

No wonder she repeatedly said that she wanted to marry Qin Yin to him, but he was unwilling. It turned out that she had been used by Bu Ji for a long time.

Li'er is indeed better looking than Qinyin, so it's no wonder that Wang Huai is attracted to her.

"You, and you, the two of you have already secretly made peace, and you have kept the emperor in the dark."

"In my opinion, you wanted to marry Li'er, but Concubine Bu refused, so you two teamed up to murder Concubine Bu."

Cui Lihua pointed at Wang Huai, then moved her hand to point at the tip of Li'er's nose. The long kingfisher armor almost scratched Li'er's face. Fortunately, Wang Huai was quick to pull Li'er to his side.

Li'er sat down on the ground, and Cui Lihua was so ferocious again.

Bu Ji put on her embroidered shoes and got up from the bed. Yanzhi came forward and held her arm. She walked in front of Cui Lihua and said.

"Li'er is my personal maid. I will be responsible for anything she does."

"If she and Wang Huai really love each other, I will naturally prepare a generous dowry and marry her off in style."

"Your Highness, don't worry about this matter."

It was the first time she spoke to someone with a cold face, and even Yanzhi was surprised.

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Bu has a good temper and a good personality. She always greets everyone with a smile. It is said that Censor Bu's smile is all on her daughter's face.

Cui Lihua looked at her in surprise. What had happened to her that she dared to talk to her like that?

Did she understand clearly how many ranks there were between a noble and a royal concubine?

Bu Ji changed the subject, looked at Li Ji, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, just now Li'er and Yanzhi did not mention to the Imperial Concubine that Qiu Sheng was a palace maid, but the Imperial Concubine did not ask and directly said that this person was a woman."

"I'm afraid he has hidden Qiu Sheng a long time ago and is pretending not to know him."

When she said this, everyone present reacted. Li Ji didn't show much expression on his face, he just nodded at Bu Ji.

Li'er was very excited and echoed.

"Yes, I never said Qiu Sheng was a woman, so how would others know that she was a palace maid?"

Li Ji narrowed his eyes, glanced at Cui Lihua, and a cold voice came out.

"Bushi, do you have anything else to say?"

The emperor just gave a slight glance, and Wang Huai understood what he meant and prepared to go out and call the guards in.

The Imperial Concubine plotted to murder the Empress Dowager, and imprisoning her in the Ministry of Punishment was already a great favor from the Emperor.

Cui Lihua was shocked. She never expected that she would be convicted because of a single sentence.

She was unwilling to accept and was unwilling to give in.

"emperor!"

"I just think that the name Qiu Sheng sounds too much like a palace maid, and no eunuch would give her this name."

"Don't you think it's a woman's name?"

She asked Li Ji back, wanting to hear the same words from him.

Li Ji chuckled, his lips of just the right thickness moved, and he raised his finger and pointed at Zuoji who was standing next to him.

"You, from now on, will be called Akiyoshi."

After he finished speaking, he put down his hand and looked at Wang Huai in a commanding tone.

"The next batch of eunuchs entering the palace will be named after the character Autumn."

Zuoji was stunned and kowtowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.

"I thank the emperor for the name."

Traditionally, eunuchs entered the palace in batches, and the first eunuch who was given a name by the emperor was in charge of that batch. The emperor meant to let Zuoji change his name to Qiuji and become the next batch of eunuchs in charge in advance.

This is a promotion for him.

Cui Lihua collapsed on the ground, dumbfounded.

When the emperor gave the eunuch the name Qiu, wasn't he just slapping her in the face and letting her see that eunuchs could also be called "Qiu Sheng" and "Qiu Ji"?

"emperor......"

Just when everyone thought that the guards were about to drag the imperial concubine away, she suddenly took out a letter from her bosom and raised it up with her hand.

"I have something else to say. If Your Majesty doesn't listen, I'm afraid you'll become the second emperor to be kept in the dark by his concubines."

Everyone understood what this meant. The late emperor had been kept in the dark by Concubine Li. During the three years since Concubine Li entered the palace, she had secretly exchanged letters with her cousin outside the palace to express her love.

The late emperor had not seen Concubine Li for several months because of this matter.

A hint of uneasiness flashed across Bu Ji's eyes, and he tightened the handkerchief in his hand.

The letter in Cui Lihua's hand was the letter she wrote to Master Jingyun to report her safety. Fortunately, it was just a report of safety and nothing else.

The coldness in Li Ji's eyes was like a knife flying towards Cui Lihua, and his face turned dark.

"Bring up the letter."

Sure enough, the nervousness she showed in front of Liang Xing in the hall that day was not fake, she was still thinking about meeting her lover in secret!

Wang Huai quickly handed the letter to the emperor and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

As he stepped back, he glanced at Li'er out of the corner of his eye. Li'er shook her head at him. She really didn't know what the letter was about.

A few days ago, the young lady said that she no longer liked Lord Liang and only hoped that Lord Liang could marry a good wife and have many children and grandchildren.

Why did you write a letter suddenly?

Maybe he regretted his decision and felt that Lord Liang was a good person, so he was reluctant to let him go.

The empress had an affair with a minister of the previous dynasty, which was a much more serious crime than the imperial concubine's. The imperial concubine had made a meritorious report and might even be rewarded for it.

The more Li'er thought about it, the more worried he became, and he unconsciously moved closer to his mistress.

Bu Ji stared at the letter in Li Ji's hand, his eyes motionless.

She was about to explain, but unexpectedly the coldness on Li Ji's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a hearty laugh.

"It's just a letter from home. How did she keep me in the dark?"

How could Cui Lihua believe that it was a letter from home? Although she didn't have time to open it, she saw four big words written on the cover: "Jingyun personally wrote it."

There is no one named Jingyun in the Bu family, they all have single names.

"No, this Jingyun is obviously her lover!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be fooled."

When Bu Ji thought about how he addressed Master Jingyun as "big brother" in the letter, his eyes lit up and he immediately told the emperor.

"Your Majesty is right. This letter is written to my elder brother."

Cui Lihua refused to give in and questioned through gritted teeth.

"Where did you get your elder brother? Your mother died not long after giving birth to you, and she is not a stepmother."

Bu Ji blinked and spoke in an innocent manner.

"This elder brother was brought back by my father and asked me to acknowledge him. As his daughter, I have no choice but to acknowledge him."

"As for Big Brother's background, I'm afraid it's hard to figure out."

She silently apologized to Censor Bu in her heart, as it would be bad for her reputation if it got out.
