The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

"Who dares!" Nanny Qian immediately stood in front of Jiang Lingyue and said, "You can't touch the Imperial Concubine! Even if you want to hold her accountable, it must be His Majesty who speaks personally!"

Several eunuchs from the interrogation department were originally unwilling to take action against the imperial concubine who was the most favored in the harem. Seeing this, they made a prompt decision and stopped.

"You!" This was the first time Concubine Hui, who held the Phoenix Seal and had been in charge of the harem for nearly four years, had given orders without following through. She was so angry that she could no longer maintain her composure and sneered repeatedly, "Such a cunning servant! No wonder you dared to attack a pregnant concubine! The evidence is irrefutable that the noble concubine was plotting to murder the heir. I have the power to rule over all six palaces, so why can't I hold her accountable?"

The Concubine Shu standing by had a fierce expression on her face. "I've heard that the dogs from Ning'an Palace are treated more noble than the ordinary concubines. I thought it was just malicious slander from others, but seeing it today, it's actually true."

"Someone!" she said, "Take this wicked slave away and give him thirty slaps on the face."

"Yes!" Two old maids came out from behind Concubine Shu, and after receiving the order, they walked towards this side.

They are Concubine Shu's confidants and only obey the orders of their master. They are not the eunuchs in the Interrogation Department who have so many concerns.

If I can’t touch the imperial concubine, can I touch the dog beside her?

However, it turned out that it really couldn't move.

Just as the two maids stepped forward, Jiang Lingyue, who had been motionless, slowly stood up.

She said calmly, "Since you've endured for so long, why don't you continue to endure it? Jumping out in such a hurry may not be a good thing."

Is she so sure that a Concubine Zhao can cause her serious injuries and make her lose the emperor's favor?

Concubine Hui didn't know what she was thinking about, her face froze, and she subconsciously turned her gaze towards the delivery room.

Inside, Lady Zhao's cries were gradually fading.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hall again.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

The eunuch's slightly sharp announcement sounded.

Nanny Qian breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down first.

All the concubines in the hall also bowed down in greeting.

Soon, the emperor's slender figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty..." The place where Concubine Shu was standing was right in front of the palace entrance, so she could bump into the emperor who was following in.

She lowered her chin, nodded slightly, bent her knees slightly, and bowed in the most delicate posture she had learned at home.

He pondered in his mind how to report what had happened here, without showing jealousy, but at the same time making His Majesty see the true face of the imperial concubine and become completely disgusted with her.

But just as she bent her knees, a bright yellow figure passed by her at speed like the wind, leaving only the unique faint scent of agarwood on his body slowly dissipating in the air.

"..." Concubine Shu's face froze. She didn't care about the etiquette of respect and her eyes subconsciously followed the figure.

What caught the eye was the cold, aloof, and even unkind emperor, who raised his arm to help the imperial concubine who was about to kneel to salute.

Her expression is gentle and caring.

Concubine Zhao, who was pregnant with his child, was still screaming miserably in the delivery room. Instead of blaming the culprit, he...

There was a look of disbelief in Concubine Shu's eyes, which then gradually turned cold.

Meanwhile, Qi Junyi pulled the man up and carefully examined him. After confirming that he was alright, he frowned and said, "Why did you follow me here for no reason?"

At the morning court today, the young eunuch on duty outside Chongzheng Hall called Liu Rong out with an anxious look on his face. When he was reporting something, Qi Junyi almost lost his composure on the spot.

This familiar scene last appeared at the palace banquet on the Lantern Festival, which was his eternal nightmare.

Seeing the Emperor, who had obviously just finished court and rushed over without even changing into his regular clothes, Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips, suppressing her emotions and said, "Concubine Zhao gave birth prematurely. It was Madam Qian..."

"Okay, I know everything. I'll take care of this matter." Due to the large number of people here, Qi Junyi did not hug her. Instead, he patted her arm and said softly, "Go back to Ning'an Palace and don't worry about anything."

"Madame Qian..."

"Madame Qian has done a great job protecting her master, so she'll be fine..." Knowing that she was worried about her subordinates, Qi Junyi patiently comforted her: "You go back first, and let me handle it..."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu could no longer hold back and said, "Sister Zhao is pregnant with your child. Her life is in danger in there. Your Majesty is so cruel that she allowed the servants around her to attack the royal heir. Are you still going to protect her?"

Being interrupted by someone other than Jiang Lingyue was a very new experience for Qi Junyi.

But he obviously didn't enjoy the experience very much.

He tilted his head slightly and cast his gaze on Concubine Shu. "Are you questioning me?"

His eyes were calm, but contained murderous intent.

Concubine Shu felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze at this glance. She hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I dare not!"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to do so."

Nanny Qian looked distraught, and she spoke at the right moment, "When Concubine Hui arrived just now, she wanted to order the people from the Interrogation Department to punish our Concubine. I didn't dare let them hurt her, so I stepped forward to stop them and said a few words to them. Concubine Shu was going to slap me in the face. If it weren't for Concubine Gui's protection, I... I..."

After she finished speaking, Madam Qian shed two lines of tears, and with a look of finally finding her backbone, she choked and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Empress."

Listening to Nanny Qian's miserable complaint as if she had been terribly frightened, Jiang Lingyue's lips couldn't help but twitch violently, and she almost couldn't hold it back.

The Emperor remained expressionless. He listened to the entire story, then turned his gaze to Concubine Hui and said, "I gave you power over the palace so that you could take care of the palace affairs. When did I ever give you the courage to rebel against your superiors?"

To Concubine Hui, these words meant, 'Just be a good housekeeper, how dare you lay hands on your master'?

Perhaps the other concubines did not know the truth about the emperor's sleeping arrangements, but Concubine Hui, as her cousin, knew it. She knew that her emperor cousin had no heart, no desire, and no desire for women.

He had made this clear to her when he was about to send her to the Eastern Palace at home.

Concubine Hui was once proud of it, thinking that it was his trust in her. She was different and she knew his secrets.

He also gave her the Phoenix Seal and the power to manage the six palaces.

He trusts her!

With this trust, Concubine Hui is sure that as long as she waits patiently, the position of queen will be hers sooner or later.

But who could have imagined that Jiang Lingyue would emerge in a general election.

Everything has changed!

The structure of the harem was broken, and the structure of sleeping with the emperor was also broken.

Before, she thought that the child in Concubine Zhao's belly was also His Majesty's.

So, she still has hope in her heart!

If there are one and two, why can't there be three and four?

And now, she gritted her teeth tightly, knowing that her cousin, the Emperor, was determined to protect this woman, even the child in Concubine Zhao's belly might not be safe...

After realizing the situation, Concubine Hui gradually became desperate. Without even saying a word of defense, she knelt on the ground and said, "I know I am wrong. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

If, if I can't bring this woman down even in this way, will there really be another chance in the future?
