Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

"Tell me, what's going on? Could it be that you really are targeting that little girl from the Mu family?"

For the first time, the emperor stared at his beloved concubine with a sinister look. His voice was deep and majestic, but it was even more creepy when coupled with his eyes which were always red recently.

He thought about it over and over but could not think of any hatred between the two. The only thing he could think of was that the imperial concubine had spoken in a sarcastic way and was ridiculed a few times. But just for such a small matter, she was going to destroy the innocence of a prince and a noble lady?

Mu Qingli's face turned pale, and he covered his chest pretending to be ignorant, even his voice was trembling.

"How could this happen? Why did the Imperial Concubine drug me? Did the maid accidentally getting my dress wet just now also arrange it? Your Majesty, a woman's reputation is so important. The Imperial Concubine wants to kill me! Please, Your Majesty, help me!"

Cheng Qin was even more shocked and frightened. With red eyes, she stood up with her daughter and bowed to the masters above. The mother and daughter looked really miserable as they cuddled together with red eyes.

Lu Zhiyao's eyebrows darkened slightly, and with a faint ripple in her eyes, she snorted softly, "No wonder Mrs. Qu Junhou and I saw Sister Li's skirt was wet when we met her. It turns out someone deliberately wanted to harm her."

Xiao's eyes flashed and he nodded quickly.

The two of them sang in unison, and some civil and military officials could no longer bear to watch. They frowned slightly with some disgust.

That's right, a woman's reputation is so important. Even if it was just a momentary quarrel, the imperial concubine shouldn't treat a servant like this. To be honest, the imperial concubine has been relying on the emperor's favor for many years and has indeed gone too far.

But how could the imperial concubine admit all this? As she spoke, her eyes became red and she covered her chest with her hands, feeling aggrieved and complaining for herself.

"Your Majesty, please understand! This matter really has nothing to do with me. Why would I target a little girl for no reason? Besides, if it was really me who did it, why would I involve Prince An?"

Gu Chengjin and Fang Jiale's faces were also as gloomy as ink, with cold light in their eyes.

Everyone in Beijing knew that the Gu and Mu families had been engaged since childhood, and had enjoyed a cordial relationship for decades. But the Imperial Concubine's brazen attack on Ali wasn't simply a sign of disdain for the Gu family. Did she really think she could act arrogantly forever just because she had the An family protecting her?

Gu Chengjin narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't let the old man come with him today, otherwise he would have lost his temper in class!

The queen was listening beside her with a faint smile on her lips, and she sighed as if unintentionally.

"But the person who bribed someone to attack at the banquet was someone from your palace. Do you think anyone would believe you if you said it wasn't you? Besides, who knew your plan would go awry and allow His Highness Prince An to fall victim to it?"

Concubine An was speechless when asked. She wanted to get rid of the suspicion, but it was Yuxiu who specifically explained the matter. But the question was why did the other party reveal her? Obviously, the families of those people were under her control.

Gu Chengjin casually picked up the wine glass and took a sip, hiding the slight smile on the corner of his lips.

I heard that the newly appointed Minister of Justice had obtained a very good medicine. It is said that after people take it, the other party will lose their mind and will be able to answer any question in a short period of time without telling lies, so that the crime-solving rate of the Ministry of Justice has increased a lot.

Now even Lu Shaocong began to doubt his mother. He looked up at Concubine An in shock without saying a word, his brows furrowed.

Could it be that his mother had really harmed him by accident? The princess of another country was indeed beautiful, with a good figure and a decent taste, but the Dayan royal family valued bloodlines. How could he inherit the throne if he married this woman? Wasn't his mother harming him?

Lu Tingqi glanced at him without saying a word, and sat quietly playing with the jade ring on his hand.

At this point, the matter is very clear, and there is nothing Concubine An can do even if she doesn't want to admit it.

Lu Junli was a smart man. He quickly shrank his body behind the pillar and pretended that he didn't exist at all.

The emperor didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just raised his hand and asked Xu Han to go and find the seventh prince. After all, he was involved in this matter.

Lu Jinnian didn't know if he had guessed it in advance, but he came directly after settling the people. On the way, he happened to meet the person who came to summon him, and then he entered the hall.

The emperor frowned as he looked at him and scolded him, "Seventh Brother, where have you been? You didn't come to the palace banquet? Did you encounter anything strange?"

"Your Majesty, I was at the banquet, but there were too many people. I preferred some quiet time, so I stayed for a while and then left. I was knocked unconscious on the way and found myself in a palace when I woke up. After leaving the palace, I went to the cold palace to visit my mother."

Lu Jinnian bowed calmly and stood up with neither arrogance nor servility.

Everyone in the palace knew that he was born in the cold palace, and even his mother died in the cold palace. Later, he built a cenotaph for his mother in the cold palace and visited it from time to time. In fact, this was no longer a secret in the palace.

The emperor frowned and looked unhappy when he heard this, and began to lecture him.

"How could you be so calm after being knocked unconscious in the palace? Could someone be in cahoots with you?"

Lu Jinnian's expression remained calm and indifferent, his back as straight as a bamboo, elegant and refined.

"Hasn't this happened often since Mother passed away? I'm no longer in the age of surprise and fear. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the servants in the palace. I'm sure I'll run into a few people who saw me on my way to the cold palace."

The palace servant who had come to report the news raised his hand and tentatively spoke, "Your Majesty, those daring servants did confess to knocking the Seventh Prince unconscious, but somehow they also fainted afterwards, and when they woke up, they were already with the Red Prince."

It's just that those little eunuchs were lying naked with the equally naked Prince Red. It seemed like nothing serious had happened, but it wouldn't sound good to tell others about this.

A few harmful little eunuchs slept naked together with Prince Chi of Dongyi Kingdom, and then Princess Liyin of Dongyi Kingdom slept passionately with their Royal Highness Prince An. God knows what these people were doing!

The emperor's suspicion disappeared in an instant, replaced by inexplicable embarrassment and unnaturalness, and then he fell silent.

With so many women in the harem, how could he possibly remember every single one of them when he had political affairs to attend to? Allowing him to build a cenotaph in the cold palace was already a sign of his kindness and wisdom.

The Queen glanced at the Emperor and quickly smiled to smooth things over. "Seventh Brother, you are such a jerk! If you have anything to say, you should tell me and your father. Even if your mother is gone, your father will still protect you!"
