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

The next day, the people beat the drum in the street to accuse the favored eldest princess and her family of many crimes, which soon caused a stir in the court and the harem.

The imperial concubine had been frustrated recently, and it was rare for her to hear such good news that she almost laughed out loud. She was so happy in her palace that a sneer appeared on the corners of her lips.

"Humph, this is a rare piece of good news these days. That idiot Lu Yan has always been at odds with the Queen and Prince Ting. These things really seem like something she would do. I wonder which kind-hearted person did this kind of good deed for me."

The maid behind her naturally smiled when she saw how happy she was. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and asked.

"I'm sure the Empress will be affected by this incident. After all, the wealth in her palace comes not only from gifts from her mother's family, but also from the eldest princess. If the eldest princess falls, it will surely cause losses to her as well, right? Your Majesty, would you like our people to secretly help her?"

After all, with the power and status of the Princess's Mansion, even if there is solid evidence, it may not be able to bring down the Princess. After all, the Emperor still values ​​his only sister, even though they are not from the same mother.

It’s no wonder that the imperial concubine had actually thought about this question, and finally she narrowed her eyes and sneered.

"If I don't take action during this golden opportunity, the Queen will probably think I'm the one who did it. Since I've been accused of this, I might as well make the fire burn even bigger. Don't we have some interesting evidence in our hands? Let's release it all."

She also wanted to see the emperor's current attitude before deciding what to do next.

The maid bowed and agreed respectfully, then raised a sneer at the corner of her lips and asked another question hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been closed for the past few days and you have been confined and not allowed to leave. Does His Highness need someone to remind him?"

"...For now, don't worry. Didn't he write a letter of apology and stay in the palace for a while? Then let him have a good rest. You can arrange for his staff to handle this small matter.

Didn't the people go straight to the Ministry of Justice from the Jingzhao prefect? ​​I heard that the new Minister of Justice is a man who hates evil, so a matter like this involving the emperor's relatives should naturally be handed over to the right person."

Concubine An thought about her good-for-nothing son, sighed, and casually waved her hand. She slowly picked up the spoon with her slender jade fingers, took a mouthful of the lily and lotus seed soup with a smile, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Even if she was temporarily demoted, what did it matter? Didn't she still control most of the palace? As long as the emperor still favored her, who in the palace would dare to go against her? All food had to be prepared to her liking.

It's a pity that many of the secret agents she had planted in the palace during this period were harmed by the bitch Queen. Otherwise, why would she have to worry about these things?

The maidservant didn't know what she was thinking, but she immediately agreed when she heard this. She turned around, bowed, and hurried downstairs to deliver the message.

The master was indeed under house arrest, but the palace maids were not. They still walked around and did their work as usual on weekdays.

At this time, the Queen also received the news, but things turned out to be just as Mu Qingli had expected.

The queen had been in a high position and had long been accustomed to ordering the palace servants around. She didn't even care about the palace servants, let alone the farmers working in the fields, and immediately waved her hand indifferently.

"Alright, why bother bringing this little thing up to His Majesty? Can't you just send a few people to deal with it? Why bring such a trivial matter to my face?"

The person who was sending the message lowered his eyes and frowned slightly when he thought of the scene he had just heard. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to explain.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Ting should have received news of this matter. Should we discuss it with them first? Although the Princess is favored and His Majesty may not actually punish her, if the matter becomes a big deal and stirs up public resentment, it may not be easy to handle."

He was a farmer before he entered the palace. He knew that the autumn harvest was the most important time of the year for the people, and he was aware of the impact that might be caused by the seizure of fertile land and the plundering of fruits at this time.

"They're just some ignorant commoners. What's the big deal? You've been making such a fuss lately. If you're really worried, go ask Qi'er."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, half-knelt, and saluted, agreeing in a deep voice.

"Yes, ma'am."

The Queen was still concerned about the situation in Yuqing Palace. She was lying on the couch and dozing off. Several palace maids were kneeling beside the bed, applying the latest red nail polish from Jinghua to her.

She stared at it for a while before casually speaking, "What's going on over at Yuqing Palace? Even if that bitch is under house arrest, I'm afraid she won't behave herself. Have someone keep a close eye on her."

"Yes, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine has also received the same news. Based on past experience, they will definitely seize this opportunity. However, the Imperial Concubine is still under house arrest and I'm afraid she doesn't have that much ability."

The guard half-knelt respectfully and raised his hand to report the news.

"Hmph, didn't His Majesty confine her to house arrest for a month? Then let her palace maids stay in Yuqing Palace as well. Don't go out unless necessary. Otherwise, it will be bad for the imperial concubine to worry about them while she is under house arrest~"

The queen opened her eyes slightly, sneered, and then spoke slowly.

What this means is...

The guard immediately understood what she meant, responded with a smile, and went to do his job.

(Tingwangfu)

At this time, Prince Ting learned the news earlier than the people in the palace, but it was too late for them to do anything, because when the Minister of Justice Fei Zhu learned the news, he immediately sent a letter to the palace, requesting to bring witnesses to meet His Majesty.

His Majesty naturally agreed, and he was probably preparing the carriage to take the people into the palace.

The staff member did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke directly to remind him.

"Your Highness, how about we have our people intervene? This is the eldest princess's business after all, and she's always been close to us. Can't we just ignore it?"

In charge? But the question is how? Today's incident was clearly a long-planned event, aimed at the Princess. Otherwise, these people would not have been able to enter the capital and enter the Ministry of Justice intact.

Lu Tingqi was still sitting in the chair, touching his knees as usual. His face was slightly gloomy and his usual gentleness was gone, but in fact, this was his true self.

But out of consideration for the eldest princess, he finally spoke and waved his hand slightly.

"The people haven't gone in yet, have they? Go find out what evidence those low-lifes have. Once we get it, we can take care of them."
