Chapter 210 Isn’t this reaction wrong?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have something important to report!!!"
Amid the noise outside, Mrs. Wei's voice was the sharpest and most piercing.
Yan Wan's eyes, which were originally filled with smiles, suddenly lost their luster. She subconsciously grasped Hong Li's hand, her eyes gradually flushed: "Your Majesty..."
She opened her mouth for a long time before she said with difficulty: "Is she really going to say it? I thought I had warmed her heart and she was really willing to give me a little sincerity."
The despair in her eyes was like an eternal cold pond, making people feel suffocated just by looking at it.
Hongli held Yanwan's hand tightly. For the first time, he felt that he was so busy flirting with Ruyi that he neglected her feelings.
He always knew what Yan Wan was doing recently. She tried her best to please Madam Wei, and even made the Queen angry. She hadn't been seen recently.
But this Mrs. Wei obviously does not deserve Yan Wan's true love.
Hongli said in a deep voice: "Ling Fei, you are no longer her daughter, but my concubine and her master. Since she is determined to harm you, you should punish her as a slave and make her dare not touch you again.
Let others know that you are not someone who only relies on me and the Queen. Let everyone know that if they offend you, even if it is a close relative, they will have to pay a huge price. "
Yan Wan stared at Hong Li in a daze: "Can I?"
Hongli lowered his eyes to gaze into her beautiful eyes, and wiped away her tears with his slender fingers: "Of course you can, because I am behind you to support you."
Yan Wan's eyes gradually lit up: "Your Majesty, I will not let you down!"
Hongli coaxed, "Take a good look at the people around you and see clearly what they want to do. Then, use the palace rules and my majesty to protect yourself. No matter who is in front of you, even if it is someone I care about, just reach out and do it."
Yan Wan seemed to be bewitched, and mustered up the courage to ask: "If it is Concubine Xian... can I also fight back fiercely?"
Hongli stroked her belly and said, "Of course, as long as you don't harm her, if she dares to harm you, I will definitely take care of it for you!"
Yan Wan looked at his firm and gentle eyes. If it was in the first few years after she was crowned as a concubine in her previous life, she might have actually believed it.
Now, she can see at a glance the emperor's intentions hidden under the layers of tenderness in his gentle and domineering affection - he himself is not in a position to touch Ruyi, so he lets her test it for him!
But it doesn’t matter, she really likes making this knife, a blunt knife for cutting Ruyi’s flesh and blood!
She held the back of his hand and nodded seriously: "I will obey the emperor! As long as the emperor wants, I will do my best to do it!"
She took a deep breath and walked to the door: "What are you arguing about? You are being disrespectful in front of the emperor. Are you trying to bring trouble to the family?!"
Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she felt that the daughter in front of her was not her daughter, but a noble woman who had been in a high position for many years.
After a pause, she said with a straight face: "Empress Ling, please don't be so quick to blame me. I have something to report to the emperor! Empress Ling, you are just a concubine. I'm afraid it's not easy for you to make decisions for the emperor, right?"
Yan Wan looked at her and said, "Mother, I hope you can understand that you'd better think carefully before making any decision or saying anything. You should not only think about yourself, but also think about Zuo Lu at home."
After saying that, without waiting for Madam Wei to speak again, she made way for him and said, "Come in, please do not be disrespectful in front of the Emperor."
Mrs. Wei looked at Yan Wan who turned away coldly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
According to her original plan, this was worthless. She should be very panicked at this moment, and privately warn her not to talk nonsense, or quickly ask her what she wanted to do, or, with tears streaming down her face, beg her to stop making trouble.
But this money-losing product doesn’t have that!
Madam Wei forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart, thinking about how her daughter had only given her two hundred taels of silver in recent times, but had given the eunuch Jinzhong countless treasures, taught her a lesson many times, and even threatened her with Zuo Lu. Her fighting spirit instantly rose.
She could not get any benefit if her daughter was alive, but if she died, she could live freely with the 100,000 taels, and even threaten Concubine Xian to plan for her Zuo Lu's future!
She walked quickly into the room, and when she saw Hongli, she fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty! I want to sue Concubine Ling! She is practicing witchcraft in the palace! She is plotting to murder you, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Xian!!!"
As soon as she said this, the entire Yongshou Palace seemed to fall silent.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the yard were all stunned and lay on the ground, not daring to get up.
Even Chun Chanlan, Cui Wangchan and others who already knew the inside story were frightened to the point that their lips turned pale and they knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.
Yan Wan stood among the crowd expressionlessly, looking at Hongli.
Hongli waved at her and told her to sit down: "You are heavy, so sit down and ask questions."
Yan Wan walked over to sit beside Hong Li and looked at Madam Wei: "Go ahead."
Mrs. Wei was confused by the reactions of Yanwan and Hongli. She slowly raised her head, looked at Yanwan, then at the emperor, and a sense of uneasiness gradually welled up in her eyes.
Is this the right reaction?
Is it supposed to be like this?
Madam Wei felt cold all over: "Your Majesty? She is using witchcraft to curse you!"
Hongli said calmly: "Is there any evidence?"
Madam Wei subconsciously wanted to nod, but she felt that something was wrong. The words came to her lips, but she turned around and came back: "This is a serious matter. I want to say it in front of all the concubines!"
Hongli asked, "Why?"
Madam Wei stammered, "You, you are not trying to protect Concubine Ling, are you? This is a serious matter. I am really afraid that you will feel sorry for Concubine Ling and refuse to punish her, but will instead silence me... Please hold a trial by three judges!"
When Yan Wan heard her talking about the three-court trial, she almost laughed.
The emperor has no intention of alarming others so far. It is obvious that he does not want this embarrassing palace fight to spread to the previous dynasty and let the ministers get involved. Her mother listened to some of the drama and put it into practice. If the emperor had not wanted to test Ruyi, he would have sentenced her to death long ago.
As expected, Hongli said calmly: "If this gets known to the whole palace, all nine members of your Wei family will be killed."
Madam Wei shrank her neck and said, "Yes, or why don't you call a few high-ranking concubines over? They must know why Concubine Ling was sentenced to death, right?"
Hongli laughed when he heard this: "Concubine Ling is your daughter, you are willing to give her up."
Madam Wei said coldly: "Although she is the daughter of a commoner, a noblewoman is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, she should be loyal to the emperor first, and then talk about other things! The emperor..."
She was full of hesitation: "You, do you really want to make a big thing small, a small thing nothing?"
She looked at Yan Wan in shock, as if she couldn't understand why her worthless daughter now seemed so valuable in front of the emperor.
