TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Hongli looked sad during this period, but he was still in a good mood. After all, he was the emperor now.

Even though he was troubled by the affairs of the Queen of Jingren Palace, he enjoyed it. The entanglement and competition with all parties aroused the strong fighting spirit in his heart.

However, after receiving the news reported by Wang Qin, he was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.

He was angry and annoyed, blaming the Queen Mother for not giving him face, and also angry at Qingying for being so careless and doing such a treasonous thing.

"What about the Queen? Didn't she stop this kind of thing?"

Wang Qin hurried a few steps behind and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager was furious, and it was only because of the Empress's plea that she was able to stop it."

He didn't dare to say it directly. Master Qingying was so favored and had her own opinions, and the Queen couldn't control her.

Hongli walked faster. He knew Qingying's character and never liked to have much contact with Fu Jin.

After the incident was over, Gao Xiyue rarely followed Langya, but instead walked behind with Su Lujun.

"Mrs. Yue, the Second Prince woke up early and clamored to see the Second Princess. I wonder if I could take him to your place to sit for a while."

Su Lujun's face was filled with embarrassment, as if she knew that her suggestion was a bit presumptuous, but she had to say it for the sake of the child.

Gao Xiyue of course knew that she was not doing this for this, so she frowned and shook the handkerchief reluctantly.

"For the sake of the child, come here!"

What happened to Qingying today was too shocking, and no one noticed their abnormality.

In order to conceal her tracks, Su Lujun immediately asked the palace maid to take the two children to play nearby.

Gao Xiyue also sent everyone out of the room. Xing Xuan didn't understand when her master became so close to Su Gege.

But he still stood guard outside the door attentively.

As soon as the door closed, they both cried out in surprise.

"You saw it, didn't you?"

"You can see it too!"

Gao Xiyue excitedly grabbed Su Lujun's hand and nodded heavily.

"I went back and lit some incense before coming here. I don't know which deity or Buddha appeared."

Su Lujun covered her chest and said sympathetically that she was a little scared. Ghosts and gods have always been mysterious and unpredictable, and they are not necessarily all good things.

Now that Gao Xiyue has the same experience as her, she has someone to talk to.

Gao Xiyue curled her lips in disapproval, "I don't think so. Look, those words were all directed at Qingying. It seems that they were the thoughts of everyone in the room at that time."

"Qingying is a concubine who is not outstanding in any way. She is not usually very pious. How could she be so blessed that the gods and Buddhas would pay attention to her?"

"That's true, then..."

Su Lujun frowned thoughtfully.

"In my opinion, maybe her behavior angered the late emperor, otherwise why would she appear just when she was serving chicken soup?"

The two discussed for a long time and finally felt that Gao Xiyue's idea made the most sense. Everything was too coincidental and her behavior was indeed disrespectful to the late emperor.

The two of them tacitly agreed to interact more often in the future, and a common secret could quickly bring them closer.

What shocked them was that things did not end there. After they separated, a picture suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. It was the scene at the Queen Mother's place.

Gao Xiyue was no longer as panicked as she was the first time. She found that the picture moved with her position and was always in front of her.

It’s like a stage is set up right in front of you.

Once Gao Xiyue accepted this setting, she couldn't help but get excited.

She took a piano score and pretended to look at it. This thing could actually appear directly on the paper, so she was not worried about being mistaken for a monster.

Hongli knew that he came here to plead for Qingying, so he did not put on airs and bowed respectfully to the empress dowager.

"The Emperor is here. You know about Qingying's affairs. Such a serious crime cannot be easily dismissed."

"Empress Dowager, Qingying doesn't seem like someone who would break the rules. Is there something else going on? We can't wrongly accuse her. Let's ask her over."

Seeing that the emperor was still being stubborn, the empress dowager flashed a sneer in her eyes. After what happened during the day, she was no longer worried that Qingying could get rid of her.

"Then ask her to come over."

Su Lujun held the embroidery hoop in her hand, but did not drop a single stitch.

Ke Xin just thought that her master was thinking about something and didn't say much.

[The Emperor is so kind to Qingying. Even in this situation, he still protects her.]

As soon as the thought came to her mind, these words appeared above.

[There's something strange going on between this mother and son. It's not okay if they're not biological children.]

Gao Xiyue also saw it, and her own thoughts were imprinted on it.

Langya replied immediately, saying that she was finally not the only one watching the show, and she was happy.

[This has nothing to do with whether they are related or not. It's simply that the emperor is more cunning.]

This tone was not something any concubine would say. They did not dare to speak like this about the emperor behind his back.

Gao Xiyue and Su Lujun both tried to find out each other's identities.

Why bother worrying about it? Just treat it as a show. It won't get out anyway, and no one would believe it if it did. Who has any evidence?

One sentence opened the Ren and Du meridians of the two people. Yes, who knows who said which sentence? Just speak freely.

In the picture, Qingying was walking towards them gracefully. She did not look weak even after being hungry for a day. Her eyes only lit up when she saw Hongli.

Facing Hongli's expectant gaze, Qingying remained indifferent.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have no intention of disrespecting the late Emperor. Please understand!"

After saying this, he bowed his head and said no more.

This left Hongli, who was waiting for the next move, speechless.

Even though the Queen Mother had experienced this once, she couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw Qingying still acting like this in front of the Emperor.

[Who gave her such courage? ]

[That's it? That's all? I was waiting to see her rebuttal. If she doesn't say anything, how can the Emperor investigate, and what will he investigate?]

Everything requires evidence. Even if she just made up a random excuse and said the imperial kitchen replaced her ingredients, that's fine.

[How could he, a man of integrity and self-respect, do such a thing?]

But I'm really curious about what she thinks.

……

Hongli had no choice but to accept the lack of support from his teammates. He tried to speak for Qingying several times, almost hinting that he would believe any reason she gave.

"I have great respect for the late emperor. My original intention was simply to use chicken soup to nourish the body and benefit the Empress Dowager. I have absolutely no other intentions."

The Queen Mother sneered, "Oh, if that's the case, then I'll have to give you a reward for your filial piety."

Hongli narrowed his eyes, feeling a little headache. He asked someone to take Qingying away, but he couldn't expect anything from her.

The picture moved with Qingying's movements. She turned her head and looked at Hongli affectionately, pouting coquettishly.

As if she knew her lover would definitely protect her, she walked out slowly with a smile in her eyes.

A Ruo was so anxious that she hurried to catch up.

"Master, why don't you explain?"

"Aruo, justice is in the hearts of the people. If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it. The Emperor will definitely understand me."

[I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little nauseous.]

[Just talk, why are you shaking your head? Those people are right, she has really bad manners.]

She doesn't think she's still a 16-year-old girl, does she?
