TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

"You are presumptuous!"

"What are you doing? You and I are both concubines, and I'm pregnant, why are you shouting?"

Huang Qiying, who had received the hint, immediately hugged her and cried alone, "Oh, I'm so panicked. Sister Xianpin, please don't be angry. This is all my fault."

"It's my fault for walking around so casually. You clearly told the palace maids to leave. It's my fault for not being able to see all this. Please keep your voice down!"

Ruyi's face looked extremely ugly. Two pregnant concubines were blocking the way here, and she couldn't even force them to leave.

Jin Yuyan smiled triumphantly and was about to speak when the voice of the young eunuch came from outside.

The emperor and the empress arrived so quickly.

She immediately put on an expression of extreme fear, leaning on Zhenshu, without any trace of her previous vitality.

"What's going on? Why would Concubine Yi be frightened?"

Hongli waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and his eyes fell on the weak Huang Qiying and Jin Yuyan.

Ruyi, who was standing next to her, had just been very angry, but now her face looked rosy and she didn't look like she had been wronged.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, Heyi Noble, will die unjustly."

Jin Yuyan's tears came as soon as she started to complain.

Ruyi wanted to refute but was interrupted by Langya with a wave of her hand. Such obvious favoritism made Jin Yuyan very proud, and she gave Ruyi a provocative smile when no one was paying attention.

She just knew that it was good to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

Jin Yuyan recounted what had just happened, and Hongli looked at Li Yu with murderous eyes.

"Li Yu! Why are you coming to the Yanxi Palace instead of staying in front of me?"

From the moment Hongli arrived, Li Yu had a bad feeling in his heart that he was going to be in trouble this time.

"Your Majesty, this servant..."

"Your Majesty, I asked him to come. Li Yu knelt on the tiles today and his leg was seriously injured. I thought he still needs to serve you well, so I asked him to come and apply medicine."

"Nothing else happened. Concubine Yi and Concubine Jia are making a big deal out of nothing."

Hongli felt puzzled when he thought about why Li Yu was punished. The tea almost scalded him. Wasn't it right for him to be punished?

"So is it true that Jiapin and the others saw you applying medicine to Li Yu?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Ruyi's face, but she quickly convinced herself.

"Yes, I was just being kind-hearted. Those with filthy hearts will see everything as filthy. I have a clear conscience and have nothing to say."

The two had just reconciled last night, and now that their relationship was at its strongest, Hongli was naturally willing to trust Ruyi.

She has been such a warm-hearted person since she was a child, otherwise, she wouldn't know herself.

Hongli was still thinking about how to minimize the impact of this incident.

The imperial physician had finished his diagnosis and was already waiting on the side.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi was frightened and has only been away for a short time, so she needs to rest well. Concubine Jia is in better health, but she also needs to rest."

The imperial physicians certainly knew that the situation was not that simple, but what they said was the safest way as not to offend anyone.

Hongli felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, the two of them were frightened because of Ruyi. What's more, they were pregnant with the emperor's heir, so it would be inappropriate to be too partial to them.

"Princess Xian, you're probably doing this because you've been accused of something wrong, right? It's always like this. If you can't produce any evidence or refute it, you just say you're speechless!"

"Every time you say that, it seems like someone is targeting you? But what happened today was indeed an accident."

"Li Yu is pitiful? There are palace maids and servants who have been punished for their misconduct. Why don't you feel sorry for them?"

Huang Qiying covered her stomach and spoke with a look of grief and anger, and her words showed that she hoped Ruyi would be punished for doing such a thing.

"Let's take a step back and say, even if you have good intentions, isn't there anyone else in the Yanxi Palace? Can't Sanbao go and deliver the medicine? Or is it that Suo Xin can't apply the medicine to him, so you, a concubine, need to do it yourself."

The beads in Hongli's hand spun faster and faster, and a ball of nameless fire was rampaging in his chest. He tried hard to suppress it but to no avail.

I just felt extremely frustrated, but I couldn't find anyone to vent my anger on.

Seeing that Hongli did not stop Huang Qiying, Jin Yuyan also agreed.

"That's right, the two of them were sitting on the doorstep, laughing so happily. Even the peasant women of our Yu family, chatting under the tree, were more polite than you."

Ruyi has always been aloof, so how could she allow Jin Yuyan to compare her with a peasant woman who lives a hard life?

He immediately looked at Hongli with grievance, hoping that he could make the decision for him.

"That's enough, shut up!"

Hongli's reaction silenced everyone present.

"I think Concubine Xian must have copied too many Buddhist scriptures recently, and she couldn't bear to see others suffer any injustice. This can be considered as effective repentance."

As soon as Langya's gentle voice came out, Hongli's eyes immediately lit up and he looked at the queen with approval.

"The Queen is right. In this case, Concubine Xian will just need to be more careful in the future."

Before Ruyi could rejoice, Langya's voice came again.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi and Concubine Jia were wronged today. You must compensate them!"

"That's right. In that case, Noble Lady Yi will be promoted to Concubine and granted residence in Jingyang Palace, and Concubine Jia will be promoted to Consort."

In Hongli's view, both of them were concubines who were pregnant with his children. Since he could not deal with Ruyi, and the Queen had spoken for him, it would not matter if he gave them more compensation.

They were going to be promoted after the children were born, so now they are just being given away in advance, which is nothing.

"The Emperor's arrangements are indeed appropriate. I would like to congratulate my two sisters first."

Langya raised her eyebrows slightly. She obviously didn't expect Hongli to be so generous this time, but she was very satisfied with the result.

For Ruyi, it doesn’t matter how bad her life is, as she still has love to support her. But it makes her feel uncomfortable if others live well. This means that in Hongli’s heart, they all have a place.

Huang Qiying and Jin Yuyan couldn't believe their ears at this time. They just watched the fun, and their status was promoted like this?

The two looked at each other and immediately stood up excitedly to express their gratitude.

They knew very well that if the Queen had not spoken up for them, they would at most have received some rewards, and it would have been absolutely impossible for them to take such a huge advantage.

He made up his mind to cling to the Queen's thigh and never waver in the future. This benefit is much easier to obtain than pleasing the Emperor.

Langya was startled by their enthusiastic eyes. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

She felt like she was being targeted by Tang Monk.

Ruyi, who was standing aside, was in a bad mood. She felt bitter and sad. Originally, the only people who were putting pressure on her were the Queen and the Imperial Concubine.

Now there is another Concubine Jia out of nowhere. Even if she is promoted again in the future, she will lose a little point. How can she not feel resentful?

In this inexplicable farce, the only person injured was Li Yu, who was beaten with twenty sticks.

This time no one applied medicine to him.

Ruyi thought that this matter would be over soon, but she didn't expect it to last much longer.

Recently, there have been a lot more young eunuchs outside the Yanxi Palace.

They all came to her to ask for medicine, and some even went so far as to directly ask Concubine Xian to give them medicine.
