MTL - To Hold One’s Joy-Chapter 484 Emperor Heart
Chapter 484 Emperor Heart
Emperor Yong'an waved his hand, and the servants who were about to pour poisonous wine on the four concubines all retreated.
"Let's talk." Emperor Yong'an condescended, staring at the embarrassed Wang Meiren.
He remembered that Wang Meiren and An Bin had a close relationship on weekdays.
Beauty Wang gritted her teeth, pointed at Concubine An and said, "Upstairs in Xuande, when everyone was watching the fireworks, Concubine heard a faint movement, as if something fell from Sister An Concubine—"
"Beauty Wang!" An Pin's face turned pale, her eyes bursting with hatred, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Meiren's eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at Concubine An.
As a good sister, of course she doesn't want to confess to Concubine An, but there is no other way, she wants to live.
She is only sixteen years old!
Wang Meiren's eyelashes trembled slightly, suppressing the trace of guilt: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not talking nonsense, my concubine really heard it, and I thought it was strange at that time—"
Emperor Yong'an interrupted her coldly: "Since you find it strange, why didn't you tell me when the accident happened, why didn't you say it just now?"
Wang Meiren fell on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "When the accident happened, the concubine didn't know what was going on. Later, when she saw the snake grabbed by the guards and the blood from the imperial concubine, she was terrified. There was no harm at all. Think about it."
As she spoke, she took a quick look at Concubine An, and mumbled, "Just now...concubine didn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, concubine didn't see it with her own eyes, she just heard a little movement. —”
"Bitch, put away your disgusting face, it's a shame that I still treat you as a good sister, you are so blind!" An Pin cursed angrily.
Emperor Yong'an was so impatient with the conflict between his concubines, he said coldly, "Concubine An, tell me your purpose for doing this."
Concubine An didn't care about scolding Wang Meiren any more, she justified with a white face: "The concubine didn't harm the imperial concubine! The concubine is just a small concubine, who has entered the palace for less than three months, and there is a difference between the imperial concubine and the empress, so it is considered a harm." The imperial concubine will not benefit either!"
"Really?" Emperor Yong'an's tone was light and cold, "You are the highest-ranking newcomer to the palace, and you are the sister of the Yuan Empress. If something happens to the imperial concubine, it will be of no benefit, right?"
"Your Majesty!" An Pin looked at Emperor Yong'an, completely unable to imagine such flirtatious words coming out of his mouth.
The grace of those nights is nothing?
Concubine An became cold-hearted, and kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an.
This head knocked with great force, and when it touched the gold brick, there was a clear thud.
"Since entering the palace, the concubine can only walk in the garden at most, and even the palace people around her are just a little more comfortable with it. Even if she really has bad intentions, how can she get a snake in such a cold time? Please look into it, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Concubine An's blushing forehead, Emperor Yong'an was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Maybe someone is cooperating with you."
As he spoke, his cold eyes swept across the faces of the other three people one by one, and finally fixed on Wang Meiren.
Wang Meiren was terrified by the emperor's ruthlessness. Under the cold eyes, she blurted out: "It's the princess!"
Hearing this shout, Zhou Shan almost fell down.
This idiot beauty dares to say anything!
Resisting the urge to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhou Shan quietly looked at Emperor Yong'an's face.
Emperor Yong'an looked unusually calm: "Oh, do you mean Changle?"
Wang Meiren realized what she said, her lips trembling for a long time, unable to speak.
"I don't have that much patience."
Wang Meiren was shocked, gritted her teeth and said: "When I went upstairs, I saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Sister An Bin passing by. If Her Highness the Princess brought the snake, I would give it to Sister An Bin by that chance—"
"Bitch, how can I feel sorry for you, you insist on killing me?" An Pin asked in a hissing voice.
Wang Meiren lowered her eyes and did not answer, and continued: "Sister Anpin and Her Royal Highness the Princess met in the Royal Garden before, and they had a very happy conversation..."
"Okay, very good." Emperor Yong'an spat out a few words coldly.
Wang Meiren's sobbing sound, An Pin's cursing sound, seemed to be just the chirping of house sparrows, which could not reach his ears at all.
Emperor Yong'an was silent for a moment, and ordered Zhou Shan: "Tell the imperial physician to diagnose their pulse."
Not long after, the imperial physician rushed in, took the pulse of the four concubines one by one, and came before Emperor Yong'an.
"how?"
The imperial physician shook his head slightly.
Sent the imperial physician to retreat, Emperor Yong'an calmly ordered: "Zhou Shan, take Concubine An and Wang Meiren down."
"Here."
When she was pulled down, Wang Meiren cried: "Your Majesty, this concubine did nothing, this concubine is innocent, please spare this concubine—"
Emperor Yong'an didn't respond at all.
Zhou Shan winked at one of the servants.
The servant understood and immediately blocked Wang Meiren's mouth.
The hall quickly quieted down.
Emperor Yong'an turned his gaze to the remaining two concubines.
Concubine Li trembled with fright, while Meiren Zhang was completely dumbfounded.
Emperor Yong'an said lightly: "You all step back, I don't want to remind you what to do."
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Pin and Zhang Meiren escaped from the hall with each other supporting each other for the rest of their lives.
The hall was completely deserted.
Emperor Yong'an looked in the direction of Yuhua Palace and remained silent for a long time.
Zhou Shan stood aside, not daring to speak too much.
The emperor must be thinking about Concubine Xiao and Princess Changle at this time.
The two concubines are dealt with, but Princess Changle is different.
I wonder how the emperor will punish Princess Changle this time?
Emperor Yong'an didn't say a word to Princess Changle in the end, and said indifferently: "Go to Yuhua Palace and find out how the noble concubine and the little princess are doing."
Zhou Shan led the order to walk out of the hall, and was completely awake by the cold wind in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, he has served the emperor for so long, but he is really stupid. It is not known whether the little princess born prematurely by Concubine Xiao can be raised. How can he compare with Princess Changle?
Princess Changle plotted against the emperor's blood, at least for the time being, the emperor will not reveal it.
The next day, rumors spread that Concubine An and Beauty Wang had caused Concubine Xiao to give birth prematurely and were ordered to die, followed by the news that Concubine Xiao had given birth to a little princess.
After hearing the news, Luo Sheng went to Governor Luo's study.
"What is Sheng Er asking about this?"
The girl in the light red jacket looked innocent: "Curious, my daughter only heard that Concubine Xiao was killed by two concubines, but I don't know how. Father also knows how many times my daughter and Concubine Xiao have fought." Naturally, I can't help but care about it for the first time."
Governor Luo also thought of the fact that Yuhua Palace sent people to a restaurant every month to get beggar chickens, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Xiao was scared by the snake..."
After listening to Chief Superintendent Luo's speech, Luo Sheng's thoughts changed sharply: How did the two concubines get a live snake in the freezing and snowy season?
Princess Changle is probably among them.
After noon, Luo Sheng received a post from the Princess Mansion, Princess Changle invited her to the Lantern Festival.
