Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Hongli sat on the dragon bed and fell into deep thought. Finally, he ordered Jinzhong, who was keeping watch, "Jinzhong, go and call Noble Lady Ling over."

"Yes."

It is not yet time for curfew in the palaces.

But it's soon.

When Jinzhong trotted to Yongshou Palace, Wei Yanwan was preparing to wash and rest.

"Aren't you on duty tonight? How come you have time to come over at this time?"

Jinzhong picked up the clothes and helped Wei Yanwan change them with ease. He said hurriedly, "The Emperor wants Master Ling to come over."

Wei Yanwan held down Jinzhong's hand as he was about to clasp hers, and asked, "The Emperor wants me to sleep with him?"

Jinzhong wasn't sure what the emperor meant, so he analyzed it based on what he saw and thought, "The emperor had been staring at the two bracelets in a daze, and that's when he asked me to come and get Master Ling."

Wei Yanwan remembered that Concubine Jia was plotted against by Ruyi because she could not distinguish between agate and carnelian.

"Let's go. It's not good to keep the emperor waiting too long. I think there will be something exciting to watch."

"Master Ling, please be careful with your words later. The Emperor has been listening to the Imperial Concubine going crazy for a long time in Yikun Palace."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Wei Yanwan signaled Jinzhong to stay outside and went in herself.

"Your Majesty, please be well."

"Here I am, come here."

Wei Yanwan stood up and walked towards Hongli.

Sure enough, the two identical seven-treasure bracelets were placed on Hongli's dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, did you ask me to come here just to see these two bracelets?"

Hongli picked up one of the strings at random and handed it to Wei Yanwan.

"My dear, tell me, how is the quality of this agate?"

The moment Wei Yanwan took the bracelet, she understood that Hongli was testing her.

"Your Majesty, you must have taken the wrong one. This is clearly carnelian. How can you say it's agate? You can't tease me like this."

Hongli looked at Wei Yanwan with a half-smile and said, "This bracelet fell out of Li Yu's sleeve, so my beloved concubine knows something? For example, people from another world."

!!!

This person from another world was mentioned by the deceased envoy.

Unexpectedly, Hongli is still thinking about this matter until now.

Wei Yanwan knew that she could not get away with it by trying to fool him.

He simply put away his fake smile and said seriously, "Your Majesty knows it very well, he just doesn't want to admit it. As long as that position remains vacant, things like this will continue to happen. Who else does Your Majesty think is still coveting that position?"

"Oh, whoever I want to be the boss is none of other people's business."

"..."

This was the first time Wei Yanwan heard such an indecent word as "fart" from Hongli's mouth.

It is really rare.

unprecedented.

Shocking.

"Um...so the emperor is right. You can let whoever you want take the position."

"Stop being so sarcastic and just say what you want to say."

"I don't dare."

"I allow you to speak boldly, and I will not punish you."

Wei Yanwan didn't believe it.

Hongli looked at Wei Yanwan's eyes rolling around, looking at the ground, the bed, and the air, but not at him. He was so angry that he laughed.

"What? Are you timid now? Why didn't you remember that I would punish you when you got drunk and acted like a spoiled brat?"

"I was wrong, alright, just say it."

Since it had come to this, Wei Yanwan took off her shoes, climbed onto the dragon bed, and sat cross-legged.

"Did I let you come up? Get off!"

"The Emperor has already said that he will not punish us, so how can he go back on his word? Okay, one of these bracelets is made of carnelian and the other is made of agate. The carnelian one was taken out by the Imperial Concubine and she tried to swap it out. She made it very delicately."

Hongli folded his arms across his chest, leaned aside, and motioned Wei Yanwan to continue.

"Whether the Imperial Concubine and Master Anji have an affair is impossible to say. After all, her reputation is the Emperor's face. The royal family does not allow such a stain to exist, so the Imperial Concubine must be innocent."

"As for the guards and maids held in the Ministry of Punishment, as well as Li Yu, their testimonies are not valid."

"The Emperor did this to show everyone that no matter what kind of punishment they went through, they never said a word about the Imperial Concubine's faults. This will help to establish her reputation."

However, Hongli made a mistake in one thing, that was Li Yu and Rong Pei.

He thought that these two people would be loyal to Ruyi and would even sacrifice their lives for her.

But the two of them were recruited after only one round.

This result was not what he wanted.

That's why what happened tonight happened.

"I will have Zhenshu interrogated tomorrow."

Why didn't you say this earlier?

Why do you have to go around like this so late at night?

Then Wei Yanwan began to take off her clothes, looking like she was going to rest.

"Did I ask you to sleep with me? Go back."

"No, are you okay? It's curfew."

Hongli sneered, "So this is the true appearance of my beloved concubine. You usually pretend to be so dignified, which really makes things difficult for you."

"Stop dawdling and go to sleep."

This dragon bed is probably large enough for eight people to lie down.

What happened to her sleeping here?

I'm already tired after serving for so long.

Wei Yanwan slept until dawn.

No one even knows when Hongli went to court.

It was only when Chunchan and Lancui came in that she realized what she had done last night.

He patted his face with lingering fear, then asked, "What time is it now?"

Chun Chan smiled and said, "My Lord, the Emperor said that you should stay here after you wake up. He will come directly here after the court session and have lunch with you at noon."

Wei Yanwan wanted to say that she just wanted to know what time it was.

I don't want to dine with the emperor.

But seeing Chunchan and Lancui so happy, he didn't want to interrupt them.

"Did anything happen today?"

"It really does."

Chunchan met Wei Yanwan's curious eyes and quickly moved her head closer, and the three of them began to chirp.

"My Lord, Zhenshu from Qixiang Palace was taken away early this morning. I heard that the Imperial Concubine's matter was related to that person."

Lan Cui continued, "After Zhenshu was taken away, Imperial Concubine Jia ran over to stop the emperor. The emperor was afraid she would disturb you, so he had Imperial Concubine Jia taken back before she even started crying."

"By the way, where's Jinzhong?"

Jinzhong should be off duty at this time, so Wei Yanwan asked this question.

Chunchan was even happier and quickly replied, "Eunuch Jinzhong has gone to interrogate Zhenshu. My dear, do you think Eunuch Jinzhong will be promoted this time? I heard that the emperor has removed Li Yu from his position as chief eunuch."

So many things happened so early in the morning.

I should have known better than to sleep so soundly.

It seems that dragon energy is quite nourishing.

Such a big event happened in the harem overnight.

Involving the Imperial Noble Consort, the Imperial Noble Consort, the Master, everyone was waiting for the outcome, watching from afar, not daring to speak out.

Even Zhen Huan, who had experienced such thrilling scenes as the Coral Game and the Blood Test, was curious about what would happen next.
