Chapter 196 Insurance 23
"What does this mean?"
Hongli was stuck on the spot and looked at the palace maid with wide eyes.
Just present the evidence, why hold up the armor so imposingly? I would have thought the armor had become a spirit.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian threw this armor when my young lady was off guard. It was because she stepped on it that she fell!"
"Empress Xian and my young mistress had a disagreement some time ago. Now, even though she knows that my young mistress is pregnant, she still won't give in. My young mistress was clearly ready to leave, but I didn't expect Empress Xian to actually, actually, actually use a hidden weapon to hurt her!!"
After the maid finished speaking, she kowtowed very hard, "bang bang bang", and did not stop until her head was covered in blood.
The onlookers were stunned, and the scene was filled with wows. After all, whether someone was really unlucky enough to be blackmailed by Bai Ruiji, or Ruyi was really stubborn, or armor could actually be used as a hidden weapon to hurt people, each point was shocking enough.
"Your Majesty, I know you and Concubine Xian have a long-standing relationship, but she really went a little too far this time."
Zhen Huan finally got the chance to hit both the Queen and Ruyi hard, and of course she was not willing to let it go easily.
With just a few words, you have set a trap for the emperor. It is a fact that Ruyi is wrong. If you do not punish her or punish her lightly, it means you are taking personal feelings into consideration. Of course, no one else will do that.
Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Langya quickly looked at the emperor.
Although I am in danger right now, it would be better if I could bring Ruyi down first!
"Sister Xianfei is indeed a bit impatient. No matter how big the matter is, she should have taken into consideration the fact that Concubine Mei is a twin."
Hongli's temper is most like that of a donkey. It's okay if you stroke his fur in the right way, but if someone picks him up, his rebellious nature will be uncontrollable.
Seeing that everyone else was waiting to convict Ruyi, Ruyi was no longer herself in Hongli's eyes, but was infinitely close to the wild and unloved self she was when she was a child in the Old Summer Palace.
"We shouldn't just listen to one side of the story. I haven't even heard Concubine Xian's explanation yet, so how can you jump to the point of making such a final judgment?"
When Fu Cha Langya heard the emperor's words, her heart skipped a beat, and then a strong sense of bitterness rose up.
As expected, he cared about Ruyi the most. He actually trusted her so much that he still defended her even when there was witnesses and evidence.
If the late queen had not made a mistake, Ruyi would have been the emperor's most beloved wife, and what would she be?
Hongli was unaware of the grief that was surging in his queen's heart. Now he wanted to fight for the right to argue for his childhood self, and signaled Li Yu to bring Ruyi in.
However, Ruyi is a person who sticks to her principles.
This means that this terrible guy is as terrible as ever.
Long before Hongli came, she had been laughed at by the other concubines and scolded by the empress dowager. At this moment, there was no light in her eyes.
So when Hongli withstood all the pressure and asked her the truth of the matter and asked Ruyi to explain something for him, she just shook her head sadly.
"The one who cleans himself cleans himself."
"I have nothing to say."
Zhen Huan pinched her thighs tightly and said, "Don't laugh, don't laugh. Quickly retract your teeth and don't let the wind blow."
She even felt a little envious. Why didn't she encounter opponents of this level when she was fighting in the palace? The concubines of this generation were so lucky to have met such a clever girl like Ruyi.
Fucha Langya was also a little stunned.
Is this the kind of temperament that the emperor cares about?
Is it because I am not cowardly enough in my daily life that I am not liked by the emperor?
The Emperor... The Emperor was almost pissed off by Ruyi, so he gritted his teeth and gave her another chance.
"Empress Xian, is there really no hidden agenda in this matter? Did you really have an argument with Concubine Mei, and out of anger, you used your armor as a hidden weapon to harm her?!"
As he spoke further, his tone became more pronounced with each word.
But Ruyi just blinked her innocent eyes and looked at him, then lowered her noble head as if she had been tortured into confessing.
"I really have nothing to say."
"Your Majesty, if you think I'm guilty, then I am."
With a loud bang, Hongli, who was completely enraged by Ruyi, kicked the chair beside him away. The queen was so frightened that she knelt down again to apologize and quietly moved away from him with her knees.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The concubines quickly bowed down and apologized. The servants were trembling like sieves and dared not say a word, for fear of bringing bad luck.
"Let me calm down? My harem is very capable, why should I be angry?"
Hongli threw back a set of teacups and shouted in a hoarse voice, scaring the concubines into silence.
Zhen Huan couldn't help but frown. This annoying thing was jumping and screaming like a giant monkey that had turned into a spirit. How could it look like an emperor? It turned out that Fatty Orange's genes were not good!
Ruyi can be stubborn and ignore everything, but惢心 can't.
If you continue to be stubborn, the owner will be fine and I will reopen it myself.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The lady didn't mean to do that. She didn't touch a single finger of Concubine Mei, and the armor came off accidentally..."
When Bai Ruiji's maid saw that惢心 was about to start to defend herself, she didn't even bother to bow her head, and without even wiping the blood off her face, she started to refute:
"There aren't so many 'accidents' in this palace!"
"Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Xian loves to wear armor. She has several new pieces made every season in new styles! The Imperial Household Department personally measures the sizes, so how could it just fall off like that?"
In her haste, Suo didn't care about what to say or not to say. In order to escape the blame, she didn't think twice and shouted:
"Our master's fingers are thick, so we didn't specifically measure the size. Ordinary armor sizes are too small for him. He can only wear half of it, and it will fall off if he moves too much!"
After惢心 finished her howl, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Ruyi's hands. Even Hongli couldn't help but take a look.
Well, it does seem a bit thick.
Ruyi awkwardly tugged at the hem of her clothes, wanting to hide her hand, but she felt that it would only make it more obvious. In the end, she just angrily said,
"惢心, shut up!"
