Chapter 156 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 8
When everyone in the harem arrived at Xiefang Palace one after another, looking at the emperor and the empress with very ugly faces, everyone had a bad premonition.
There is often calm before the storm.
Ling Xi sat quietly with a calm expression, but in his heart he was watching everyone's reactions with great interest.
When Hailan was brought up under pressure, they all looked at the embarrassed Hailan with wide eyes. Hailan had a beautiful face, but the jealousy in her eyes at this moment was like a poisonous snake, which made several concubines tremble subconsciously.
The emperor threw the quilt that had been cut open to reveal the white reed fluff inside in front of Hai Lan and said viciously, "Tell me, why do you want to harm the Second Prince?"
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Hai Lan had killed the Second Prince? How dare she do that?
Hai Lan took a look at the quilt and secretly hated Lian Xin for being useless. Why hadn't she gotten rid of the quilt yet?
Looking at her own needlework on the quilt, Hai Lan looked up at the emperor, the empress, and the concubines in the harem with an expressionless face. Her eyes were so vicious that people couldn't help but shrink back.
Hai Lan laughed and looked at Fu Cha Lang Ya, the hatred in her eyes almost drowned Fu Cha Lang Ya: "Because the Queen has done so many evil things, if God doesn't punish the Queen, I will do it myself. Is the Queen particularly heartbroken now? This is the retribution God is giving to the Queen."
Fu Cha Langya was filled with hatred, and she stepped forward and slapped Hai Lan hard on the face. The slap was so strong that Hai Lan's face immediately swelled up. The sharp armor scratched her face, leaving a horrible scratch, and bright red blood gushed out.
Hai Lan seemed not to feel the pain. She laughed loudly at the pain in Fu Cha Langya's eyes. She then looked around at the concubines who were silent as a cicada, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
Hai Lan said: "It is said that the queen is gentle, generous, virtuous and kind, but you are jealous of my sister, because the emperor likes my sister, you can use the child in someone else's belly to frame my sister and have her banished to the cold palace.
I was just flying a kite in the garden to let my sister know I was safe, and you made me kneel in the pouring rain and trampled on my hands. All of you look down on me and want to bully me.
My sister said that now she can't protect me, so I have to learn to protect myself. So you see, as long as I change a little, the emperor will favor me. I am so stupid. If it weren't for my sister coming out, I wouldn't be so soft-hearted. "
Fu Cha Langya was surprised and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The evidence is irrefutable that the Ulanara family murdered the heir to the throne. You deserve to be banished to the cold palace. When Yonglian was sick, you had the leisure to fly a kite in the imperial garden. Is it wrong for me to punish you?"
Hai Lan sneered: "Your Highness, is it useless to pretend that you don't know at this time? Su Lian, who is beside you, colluded with the Imperial Concubine and harmed the children of Imperial Concubine Mei and Imperial Concubine Yi. I heard it from the Imperial Concubine with my own ears, how can it be false?"
Gao Xiyue was too guilty to dare look at her, but Concubine Mei Bai Ruiji and Concubine Yi Lu Muping looked at the Queen with suspicion.
The emperor turned his gaze to the queen, but only saw her surprised expression. He couldn't help but wonder if the queen was acting or was really unaware?
The emperor looked at Hai Lan and asked, "Let me ask you, was the murder of Yong Lian your idea, or was there someone behind you directing you?"
This question is to ask whether it was the order from Ruyi in the cold palace.
When Ling Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that the emperor didn't trust the heroine that much?
Jiapin Jin Yuyan and Shen Changzu were delighted in A'ruo's heart. Does the emperor suspect the one in the cold palace?
Although the evidence proved that the previous incident was done by the person in the cold palace, the emperor did not believe it. Now that there is such an opportunity in front of them, they naturally want to seize the opportunity to pin the crime on the person in the cold palace.
Jin Yuyan immediately added fuel to the fire: "Lady Hai used to be stupid and foolish, not very smart, how come she became so smart after going to the cold palace? I don't believe this was her idea."
Ah Ruo also took the opportunity to add insult to injury and said, "Yes, I have never seen Concubine Hai being smart before. But the one in the cold palace is very smart."
As for Ruyi, A Ruo hated her very much. She felt humiliated every time she knelt before the bed. As long as Ruyi was alive, the emperor would never look down on her. Therefore, Ruyi must die. Seeing this, Ling Xi found it very funny.
How disgusting is this heroine? So many people want to kill her. It's really a failure for the heroine to have done what she has done.
However, when Ling Xi thought of the extremely noble and gentle heroine Ruyi in his memory, he inexplicably felt that she was quite hateful.
Hai Lan looked at the emperor and roared in denial, "This is all my own decision. It has nothing to do with my sister. Your Majesty, why don't you believe my sister? You have been childhood sweethearts since you were young!"
The emperor shouted impatiently, "Alright."
He looked at Hai Lan and made the final punishment: "Koriyete murdered the heir to the throne, and all her family members shall be executed. Keliyete shall be demoted to a commoner and handed over to the empress for disposal."
When the emperor thought of Hai Lan killing his Yong Lian, he became so angry that his veins popped out. He was determined to torture her to death to relieve the hatred in his and the queen's hearts.
The Queen stared at Hai Lan with bloodthirsty hatred, and she would definitely not let Hai Lan have an easy time.
The emperor left after he finished speaking. A lot of information was revealed today and he still had to investigate some things.
The concubines were trembling all over. The sound of Ye Xin and Lian Xin being beaten with sticks outside reached into the house, and everyone was terrified.
Jin Yuyan held Zhenshu's hand and trembled slightly. She didn't know whether Hailan's words this time would arouse the emperor's suspicion. What if she was found through Su Lian?
She glanced at Su Lian, then lowered her eyes, feeling a little at a loss as she listened to the screams outside.
Ling Xi thought that the emperor would definitely investigate what Hai Lan said when he returned, so he wanted to give the emperor some help at this time.
"Liu Liu, tell the emperor some of the details of what Jin Yuyan did, and let him trace it back to Jin Yuyan."
Ling Xi wanted to get rid of Jin Yuyan as well, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous to leave this bomb here.
After the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, he did as Ling Xi had expected and sent people to investigate Su Lian, the imperial concubine, and the cold palace.
For the first time, he realized that these concubines in his harem all had an unknown side.
He believed that the innocent and simple-minded imperial concubine might have killed the two princes, and that the virtuous queen might also have been involved.
Although he was not surprised that the queen might not be as virtuous as she appeared, he was unwilling to believe that the queen would do those things.
As for Ruyi, it is unknown whether she was involved in this incident. They know each other well, but he has been suspicious of her since she failed to discipline her servants and was accused by so many people. Now the incident of Hai Lan has deepened his suspicion.
