But he couldn't seem to refuse.
He stood up and said, "After doing something like this, you still have the nerve to defend yourself? Just kneel here and think carefully about how to respond to me!"
After he finished speaking, he took a big step forward and headed towards the bedroom.
Qingying followed the other person's footsteps, and soon only the two people with swords drawn were left in the hall.
Halfway through the journey, Qingying spoke again, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask for your help. It's fine for Concubine Mei, but Empress Xiaoxian..."
Hongli paused slightly.
"Qingying, how much truth is there in what Qixin said? Can you confirm it?"
This means they don't want to punish.
"Your Majesty, I have no way of verifying what Qixin said, but Qixin has served Noble Min for so long, so why would you frame her with something like this?"
"The Emperor is wise and wise, and I believe he will make his own decision on this matter. I am just saying a few words."
Hongli nodded and said, "I know what you mean. There are many doubts about this matter. I will have someone investigate it carefully. Don't worry."
As they were talking, the two of them entered the bedroom one after the other.
Looking at Concubine Mei again, her face was no longer pale.
Pale.
The bedroom was a little dark, which made people feel pity when looking at it.
"Your Majesty, you are here..."
Hongli walked over and sat down in front of her. Looking at Concubine Mei in this state, a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
"You just gave birth to a child, you should rest more. Don't worry about other things. I will give you justice."
Concubine Mei seemed very touched.
There was a sparkle in his eyes, but he was unwilling to let it go.
"Your Majesty, no matter what I ask for, Concubine Hui certainly didn't mean it. The child's health is already a blessing for me..."
Reaching out and holding Concubine Mei's hand, Hongli turned his gaze to the sleeping child beside him.
"You have given me a prince, which is a great achievement. I will promote you to the rank of concubine. When you recover, you can move to the main hall of Chuxiu Palace and raise the child by your side."
Noble Lady Mei bowed her head slightly upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I don't care about these things. I just hope that my child is healthy, and that will satisfy me."
"Sister, of course, doesn't care, but you've made a contribution by adding a child to the harem, so you deserve a reward and a promotion. There's no need to refuse."
Too much is as bad as too little, and you will suffer the consequences.
Hongli was obviously planning to use the position of concubine to exchange for Concubine Mei's silence.
If she refuses again or shows weakness again, it will be unpleasant.
Fortunately, she seemed to understand Qingying's words.
"Yes, I thank the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
After speaking a few more words to comfort her, Hongli seemed to have no intention of talking to Meipin anymore.
He stood up and said, "You should take a good rest. I will come to see you and the Third Prince another day."
Meipin already understood the other party's intentions.
Although she felt sad, Meipin had learned a lot from this incident.
The benefits that you get are the most real.
All grace and affection are just illusions.
"Yes, I respectfully send off His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
After leaving the bedroom, Hongli's pace slowed down.
Qingying fell half a step behind and waited for a moment, only to see that the other party didn't say anything.
She took the initiative to speak, "I dare to ask, Your Majesty, are you worried about how to deal with Concubine Hui and Noble Lady Min?"
Hongli frowned. "It's fine for Concubine Min. Although the scandal of the palace's inner court strife cannot be spread, the fact that she instigated Concubine Hui is enough to punish her."
"But Gao Bin must be used. If he is to be punished, there must be a proper reason. Otherwise, what happened in Chuxiu Palace today cannot be suppressed."
"The royal scandal is really..."
Upon hearing this, Qingying took the initiative to hold Hongli's hand.
"Your Majesty is right, but I am stupid and can't think of any good solution."
"But in my opinion, why does this matter have to be spread throughout the court and the harem?"
"I have lived in the harem for a long time. Although I am not familiar with Gao Bin, I have heard the emperor mention him many times. I think he must be a capable minister to the emperor."
"No matter what punishment the Emperor intends to give Concubine Hui today, as long as the reason is right, I think Gao Bin will not question it."
"Otherwise, how could the emperor mention it so often?"
