All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Li'er was stunned. She really thought that the master had a mistress and a son. This completely overturned her understanding. Censor Bu was incorruptible and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

But since the young lady said so, there was no reason for her not to believe it.

How could a daughter slander her father's reputation with her own mouth?

Bu Ji watched Li Ji stuff the letter into his sleeve, and his heart was dead. This time, Master Jingyun really would not receive the letter.

She didn't know when they would meet next time. If she had known Jingyun was so capable, she would have asked him for a few more autographs and sold them at the market. They would definitely be valuable.

"As for you, my elder brother, I will ask Censor Bu in person."

Li Ji curled his lips and smiled, which made Bu Ji feel a chill in his heart.

Her father would not expose her lies. Censor Bu is a decent man, but he only has this one daughter. As a father, he should always have some compassion.

Cui Lihua couldn't explain how Jingyun and Bu Ji in the letter had an affair. She hated it so much that Chu Jin State didn't even have a surveillance system.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

She knelt on the ground, crying and defending herself.

"I really didn't do anything. Lady Bu is slandering me. Your Majesty, please don't believe her."

"She was the first to do something that offended the emperor."

Li Ji pried her hands apart, glanced at her coldly and said.

"Come here, Concubine Jia is plotting to murder the concubines, and she is thrown into prison."

Bu Ji's eyes widened instantly. She watched as several guards with swords walked up to her and carried Cui Lihua out. Cui Lihua shouted and begged for the emperor's forgiveness, but Bu Ji still looked incredulous.

Is this how the emperor punished her?

A noble concubine was thrown into prison, just like a cloud high in the sky falling into the mud, it was as unreal as a dream.

Even the other people in Yikun Palace had no joy on their faces. Instead, they were all surprised and confused.

When Li Ji looked at Bu Ji, his eyes suddenly became much softer, but his voice was still cold.

"What do you think of my verdict?"

Bu Ji took a deep breath, thought about it and decided that he should beg for mercy. After all, Cui Lihua was also a poor person who traveled through time and space, and it would not be good to watch her die here. Bu Ji grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook it gently.

"There's no need to throw her into jail."

"Just deduct the money. It would be best if the deducted money could be transferred to Yikun Palace. Li'er Yanzhi and Zuoji have worked very hard to take care of me. I want to give them some rewards."

Li Ji hesitated for a moment, looked at Bu Ji, and said.

"You want to plead for her?"

He reached out and touched Bu Ji's forehead, thinking she had a fever again.

Bu Ji moved back, bowed his head respectfully, and said.

"The Imperial Concubine and I are at odds, so conflicts are inevitable, but the crime is not punishable by death. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Li Ji's dark eyes fell deeply on her face, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts.

After a while he spoke.

"The Yikun Palace has made great contributions in protecting the master, and I will reward them with half a year's salary."

Bu Ji's eyes lit up, but before he could say thank you, Li Ji had already strode out.

She realized belatedly that her plea was of no use.

The emperor seemed to have only heard the words about Yikun Palace, but did not hear the words asking him to pardon Concubine Jia.

Bu Ji lowered his head somewhat disappointedly, but Li'er looked very happy and spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady. You don't have to live in fear anymore."

"The Emperor has imprisoned Concubine Jia for my lady. I will go to the imperial kitchen and see if those servants still have the nerve to look down on my lady."

Bu Ji remained silent, frowned slightly, and spoke in a flat tone.

"Li'er, you spoke too early."

"Do you think the Queen Mother will just sit back and watch Cui Lihua being imprisoned by the Emperor?"

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother is already on her way to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

After Cui Lihua's incident, the misunderstanding between her and the empress dowager became even more serious. The emperor made a big fuss for a woman and punished his beloved concubine. People would not praise the favor of this woman, but would only regard her as a witch.

The last thing she wanted was to break up with the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother was the most powerful woman in the palace. No matter how much Li Ji disliked his biological mother, he still had to respectfully call her the Holy Mother Queen Mother.

Li'er suddenly realized what was going on. She remembered that Concubine Jia had the support of the Empress Dowager, who would definitely protect her.

After the great joy, she began to worry again. What if the Empress Dowager also took action secretly? She would not be as stupid as Concubine Jia.

Bu Ji saw her worry, patted her shoulder and said.

"Do you dare to follow me to the Cining Palace?"

Li'er's face turned pale instantly and he asked in confusion.

"My lady, it's too late to hide from the Queen Mother now, why are you rushing to pay your respects to her?"

"You just said... the Queen Mother has gone to the Emperor to plead for mercy."

Bu Ji pulled her out without saying a word, talking as they walked.

"Instead of waiting for the Queen Mother to come and question us, it would be better for us to go and greet them in person."

"She, Cui Lihua, can act in front of the Queen Mother, so why can't I, Bu Ji, do the same?"

Although Li'er didn't understand what her mistress was going to do, she followed her step by step to the Cining Palace, and saw Xiu Yu as soon as she entered.

Xiu Yu was scolding a palace maid in the yard who had damaged the chrysanthemums.

"Do you know that this green chrysanthemum is the Queen Mother's favorite? How dare you, a lowly thing like you, ruin it?"

"Believe it or not, the Queen Mother will bury you alive in the ground and let you be buried with this flower."

Bu Ji smacked his lips, signaling Li'er not to go forward. The two of them stood not far away and watched the errand maid take out all the silver she had and give it to Xiu Yu.

I never expected that even the people around the Queen Mother were so dishonest.

Xiu Yu sent away the reckless maid and when she turned around she saw Bu Ji and Li Er. She walked up to them and smiled kindly.

"Greetings to the noble man."

"The Queen Mother is not in the palace right now. She has gone out to visit her mother, but she will be back soon."

Bu Ji glanced at the place in the yard where the sedan was originally parked, and sure enough, it was gone. Only a few leaves were floating on the empty ground.

She looked at Xiu Yu, suddenly remembered something, and asked again.

"***? Is it Yongning*** who is back?"

Xiu Yu smiled and nodded and said.

"You probably haven't met His Royal Highness. The Queen Mother will hold a banquet for His Royal Highness in a few days, and you will be able to meet him then."

This Yongning Lady is the biological sister of the late emperor and the only surviving legitimate princess of the Chu and Jin states, with an extremely noble status.

Three years ago, the late emperor passed away. Empress Yongning was in great grief and volunteered to keep vigil for the late emperor. She entrusted her young daughter Fuqiu to the care of the empress dowager. Everyone in the capital lamented the sisterly love between the princess and the late emperor.

Three years passed in a flash, and *** returned to Beijing, which was indeed a big event.

No wonder Xiu Yu seemed unaware that the imperial concubine was imprisoned. Her face was rosy and she looked worry-free.

I guess it must have been several hours ago when the Queen Mother left the palace.

After Concubine Jia was thrown into prison, the Yanx Palace was immediately sealed off and guarded by guards, with no one allowed to enter or leave.
