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

The emperor's expression improved a lot because of her words, but he didn't dwell on it too much and just waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, you're all useless, none of you are like me! Madam Mu, no matter what, you almost got into trouble this time. Even for Mu Yuan's sake, I have to give you an explanation.

An Shi was not strict with her subordinates and therefore had to make mistakes. She will be demoted to a concubine and imprisoned for one month as punishment! It is getting late now, so you should all go back and rest. The rest of the matter will be handled by the Ministry of Punishment.

"...Yes, I am willing to accept the punishment for my negligence."

Concubine An's face turned pale almost instantly, but she quickly recovered. She gritted her teeth and knelt down to salute the emperor, her voice still gentle.

She had been wondering if this matter had anything to do with Mu Qingli. It was obvious that every time she made arrangements, it was always her people who got into trouble in the end. But after hearing what Old Seven said, she dispelled her doubts.

The queen did not hide her desire to watch the fun at all. Her eyes fell directly on the princes who were still kneeling not far away, and she spoke in a light tone.

"Your Majesty, the Dongyi Kingdom delegation is still demanding an explanation for Princess Liyin. How should His Royal Highness Prince An be punished for his drunkenness and lust?"

The emperor's expression, which had just relaxed a little when he heard her say, instantly stiffened again. He glanced at his stupid son with a sullen face and spoke sinisterly.

"Prince An's behavior after drinking is not new. I will make a decision tomorrow after discussing it with the officials and the Dongyi Kingdom delegation. For the time being, you must stay in the palace and not leave without permission!"

Lu Shaocong's face changed slightly and he was still a little unconvinced, but the imperial concubine seemed to have expected it and glared at him fiercely, forcing him to swallow his words and kowtow in agreement.

Now that the emperor has imposed a punishment, naturally the civil and military officials will stop discussing it. But whether the Dongyi Kingdom will have any objections in the future is a matter for the future.

Everyone quickly stood up and raised their hands to salute the emperor and say goodbye, praising the emperor as wise and enlightened, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

The emperor was in such a bad mood that he didn't bother to pay attention to them at all. He just left with Xu Han in a huff with a dark face.

Among the officials, Prime Minister Tang Kun and several cabinet ministers were the first to leave, followed by several princes.

When Lu Tingqi left, he looked up at the seats for the female relatives and nodded at Mu Qingli with a smile on his face, his smile was gentle and soft.

Mu Qingli also smiled back and waited until he turned his head away before looking away. She covered her chest with her hands and tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit. However, the way she covered her chest with her brows drooped in the eyes of others would naturally be seen as her shy attitude.

The way the two smiled at each other made the imperial concubine and her men take it for granted. They immediately understood what was going on and were so angry that they almost fell over, gritting their teeth in hatred.

In particular, a young eunuch quickly squeezed over to her side and whispered a reminder to her.

"Your Highness, we have made thorough inquiries. The Mu family girl is quite clever. She ran into Prince Ting soon after escaping from the palace. Everything that followed was arranged by Prince Ting. Your Highness is truly innocent!"

So that's how it is. No wonder every time someone tries to take action against a girl from the Mu family in the palace, they always fail. The Mu family actually secretly got in touch with the Prince's Mansion. The Queen only has this one child, so naturally she values ​​the girl he likes very much!

Well, well, the Prince of Ting was really good at hiding things. She didn't even know when he hooked up with the Mu family. That idiot Xiao was the easiest to bribe. No wonder he asked Xiao to testify for him.

Concubine An clenched her palms tightly, and the cold light in her eyes almost made people shudder, but this time she said nothing and watched the queen leave with a wave of her sleeves.

The nobles left one after another, and the female members of the family naturally got up and left in twos and threes. However, many of the girls turned pale, and some covered their chests with their hands in fear.

No matter how much Concubine An planned, she probably never expected that something would go wrong at the party. Fortunately, they were not the ones who drank the wine containing the aphrodisiac, otherwise they would have died if something had happened!

The two sisters of the Wen family were even more pale as they leaned against their mother to absorb the warmth from her body. At this time, they no longer cared about any etiquette or rules. They just felt a little cold all over.

Mrs. Wen noticed something, and her usual smile faded a little. She then took her two daughters and got into the carriage in silence. Even Wen Lai, seeing the two daughters' expressions, asked his wife to comfort them more.

Which girl wouldn't be scared when hearing about drugging someone to destroy their innocence? He could understand it, but he still had to be more careful when entering the palace in the future, especially when it came to eating these things.

But he didn't know that there were girls who were not afraid at all. As soon as Shen Yuqing entered the carriage, her face darkened. She bit her lip and tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, feeling extremely regretful in her heart.

Sure enough, her feeling was right. The imperial concubine didn't like Mu Qingli, but how could she let her escape the trap after drugging her with such a good opportunity? She was so unwilling!

Mrs. Shen was sitting next to her and could almost clearly see her expression. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she snorted coldly, reminding her kindly for once.

"I advise you not to be too delusional. What kind of family is Grand Tutor Gu from? He can spot a girl like you who likes to put on airs. Don't say that this lady didn't remind you that some things are hopeless and it's better to give up from the beginning."

Give up? Hasn't she given up enough since she was a child? Why does she have to give up every time!

Shen Yuqing curled her fingers into her sleeves and clasped her palms tightly. She lowered her eyes to hide the dark emotions surging in her eyes and remained silent without responding.

Mrs. Shen had the good intention to remind her, but seeing that she didn't appreciate it at all, she naturally didn't bother to pay any more attention to her. She yawned, closed her eyes and rested until she returned home.

Seeing that most people had left, Lu Junli quickly pulled Lu Jinnian away while reminding him in a low voice.

"Seventh Brother, are you stupid? Just now, you bowed your head and said something soft in front of the emperor. You wouldn't die. You wouldn't lose weight if you said nice things. Then the emperor would love you more. You said... Sigh."

Seeing him shaking his head and sighing helplessly at him, Lu Jinnian narrowed his eyes, smiled rarely, and then looked away.

"Fifth brother, don't worry about me. You may be favored, but that doesn't mean you can't do what you want. Now that I'm unsupervised and ignored, I'm freer than you, fifth brother. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Thinking about it this way, it made sense. Lu Junli couldn't argue with him and could only shake his head and sigh. He raised his hand to hook his shoulder and whispered to him, his eyes shining.

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy~ Hehe, you don't know how much fun you missed by not coming just now. I'm afraid that tomorrow we brothers will have another third sister-in-law."
