Yan Wan mustered up her courage and said, "Your Majesty, can I give Concubine Jia a good beating like Sister Meipin did?"

She asked fiercely, but there were tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful and cute that it was hard to blame her.

Hongli frowned and said, "Don't mess around."

But to say I hate it, no.

He even felt that Yan Wan had fallen into depravity because of the hostility she revealed, rather than being docile and obedient to the point of being fake, or being too cowardly and useless.

It's normal to have temper. How is it possible for a person to have no temper at all?

He handed Yan Wan a piece of cake: "You have a chance to vent your anger, don't be impatient."

Yan Wan suppressed her emotions, nodded silently, and then kept her eyes filled with anticipation.

Hongli found it funny and said to Jinzhong, "Go on."

Jinzhong bowed slightly and said, "According to the confession of Zuolu, I have arrested the county magistrate who changed his place of origin, the human traffickers involved, and even the prostitute who was bribed to serve and seduce Zuolu...

These people all thought that it was Concubine Ling who really ordered them to do this, but they actually felt that the emperor was far away and Concubine Ling was favored, so she would not let them take such risks. Behind the scenes, they all guessed that Concubine Ling did this because..."

He paused for a moment and said, "I dare not say."

Hongli sneered, "They think that Lingpin is under the Queen's orders and has the support of the Fucha family, so she is willing to obey the orders of a concubine who has no family power."

Jinzhong kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Hongli asked, "What about now? Where have you found out?"

Jinzhong leaned forward again: "It's Concubine Jia's maid, Li Xin."

No matter how many people disguise their identities to do things, there must be a real contact person.

No matter how powerful Concubine Jia and Ruyi are, they cannot order people outside to do things from a distance. Naturally, there must be a general contact person.

Jinzhong investigated layer by layer, and after combining the testimonies of several people, he had a picture of that person in his mind - it was Li Xin from Qixiang Palace.

He spoke softly, full of shame for not doing justice to Jun En: "Up to this point, I have already arrested many high-ranking eunuchs and palace maids. After all, Li Xin is the head maid of Concubine Jia, so I did not dare to investigate further."

When he said this, he deliberately touched the side of his face.

Hongli then saw that there was a bloody mark on his jawbone, as if he had been scratched. "Who hit you?"

Jinzhong smiled bitterly and said, “I was reckless. When I was investigating, I made a little noise on Concubine Jia’s boat, and was slapped in the face by Zhenshu.

Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to disturb Concubine Jia's pregnancy. It was because the little palace maid we tracked down suddenly broke free and started shouting, which disturbed Aunt Zhenshu. "

Hongli sneered, "It's not that you accidentally let the maid escape, it's clearly that the maid was loyal to her master and was determined to report the news to her master at the risk of her life!"

He turned to look at Yan Wan and said, "This is the task I have given you. Go to Concubine Jia and tell her that Concubine Jia has instigated Concubine Xian to compete for favors, causing Concubine Xian to lose her manners in front of the palace and be lacking in moral conduct. From today on, she will be demoted to a concubine. Zhenshu and Lixin, who are by her side, will all be sent to the Shenxing Division to serve."

Yan Wan was surprised and delighted: "Can I?"

Hongli said: "Tell Jinzhong to follow you. If there are any more people who dare to take action, Jinzhong can kill them directly."

He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. After today, this matter is over. I don't want to hear any more rumors."

Yanwan didn't feel disappointed at all. Even if Concubine Jia and Ruyi were involved with local officials and deserved to be sentenced to death, so what?

These two women, one gave birth to several children, and the other was a childhood sweetheart of the emperor. To be able to achieve such a record today was already beyond Yan Wan's expectations.

It was impossible for the emperor to make the royal scandal public, so it was naturally impossible for him to punish Ruyi and Jin Yuyan with such serious charges.

The emperor would not allow anyone to tear off the fig leaf of his misconduct in front of the emperor.

Yan Wan never expected that she could kill both of them in this one go.

If she is too cruel, the emperor might be more wary of her than Yihuan in her previous life. What will be the outcome then?

Yanwan looked at Hongli with satisfaction. Her sparkling eyes made Hongli feel that he had given her a great reward. But in fact, he just asked her to convey an oral order.

Hongli looked at Yanwan gently and said, "Go ahead."

Yanwan left reluctantly. After she walked out the door and got off the dragon boat, she looked at Jinzhong.

Jinzhong also looked at her.

Although the two people didn't smile, there was smile in each other's eyes.

After just one glance, the two of them turned their eyes away tacitly, with bad ideas brewing in their minds.

As soon as the two boarded the boat, they saw Concubine Chun peeking around.

Yan Wan looked over and happened to meet Concubine Chun's eyes.

Concubine Chun smiled awkwardly: "What is Lingpin doing..."

She actually wanted to turn around and leave, but now Wei Yanwan was loved by the emperor, the empress and even the queen mother, she didn't dare. She had offended Wei Yanwan a long time ago. If she ignored her at this time, wouldn't it be a direct declaration of war?

Yan Wan smiled softly: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. The Emperor has asked me to announce the decree, demoting the Imperial Concubine Jia to Imperial Concubine Jia."

Hearing this, Concubine Chun's eyes widened and her face turned pale: "You, how did you instigate the emperor? No, I mean... you should go quickly. I am not feeling well, so I will leave first."

She could hardly stand, and had to rely on the two palace maids beside her to hold her up. When she reached a place where there were no people, she said in horror, "Lingpin was favored to such an extent that the emperor demoted Jiafei, who had given birth to several children and was now pregnant, for her!

Am I the next one? It's all because of that Keliyete. If she hadn't said that to me, I wouldn't have chased Wei Yanwan away!

Oh my God! Oh my God! Should I go and apologize to the emperor? Tell the emperor that it was all because of Keliyete Hailan's instigation that I did this wrong thing! "

Her two palace maids hurriedly tried to stop her and persuade her not to go and beg the emperor right away.

Yan Wan looked at Concubine Chun's back, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

Such a soft-hearted idiot, after hearing a rumor told by Hai Lan, sent her to the greenhouse without even asking any questions.

It's really high and mighty!

However, there is no rush.

Someone has to fill the big hole left by Ruyi and the emperor. It is better to keep her and Jin Yuyan than to go into battle directly.

She walked in front weakly, with not much expression on her pretty face. When she arrived at the door of the cabin where Concubine Jia lived, she met Li Xin first.

Li Xin smiled when she saw her: "Isn't this Ying'er?"

Yan Wan took a step back and made way: "Eunuch Jinzhong."

Jinzhong responded softly, walked up to Lixin, raised his hand, and slapped her in the face: "You are committing a crime of insubordination, you deserve to be beaten."

He saw that the person was standing steadily and his arm was not swung very far, but the slap was so solid that it knocked Li Xin to the deck.

Li Xin covered her face with her hands, unable to speak due to the pain. After a while, she felt something was wrong with her mouth, so she opened her mouth and spat out two back teeth.
