Chapter 304 I will teach you slowly
Ruyi's words were so powerful that she really wanted to swear.
Hongli's face was dark, and he was extremely angry, but he calmed down completely: "Oh? You know it again?"
Ruyi's eyes were burning: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Wan frowned and said, "Speak more quietly, is it really glorious?"
Ruyi hesitated and wanted to speak louder, but Yanwan's eyes became sharp, and she thought of the slap she had received before. Her breathing became disordered for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was much lower:
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand Concubine Ling. Isn't she too kind? It's ok for her to show a kind heart to others, but she is so kind even to Qixiang Palace..."
A playful look appeared on her face: "Didn't I know that Concubine Ling is such a person who repays evil with kindness?"
Yan Wan said calmly, "Princess Xian, I warned you that if you continue to speak to me in such a sarcastic way, I will personally slap you in the face. Why, you don't believe me?"
Ruyi: "...Your Majesty—look at her!!!"
Hongli said coldly: "What are you looking at? Are you looking at Yan Wan, who is afraid that rumors will tarnish my reputation, and is doing her best to deal with the evil you have done? Or are you looking at you, saying one thing but doing another, and becoming even more pretentious?"
Ruyi couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty! I risked my life to tell you, because I didn't want you to be deceived. Why don't you trust me, and instead be blinded by Concubine Ling?"
Hongli was too lazy to even get angry with her: "I have told you more than once that unless there is irrefutable evidence, it is not allowed to accuse someone of a crime without evidence in the harem. Ulanara, you seem to have never taken my words to heart."
Ruyi was struck by lightning, her eyes were empty for a moment, her pupils trembled as she looked at him, her face full of disbelief: "Your Majesty! You actually called your concubine Ulanara?"
She stumbled back.
Rong Pei, who was trying hard to hold on despite her illness, hurriedly supported her and said, "My dear! My dear, don't be sad. The emperor has also been deceived. He will definitely understand your painstaking efforts!"
Ruyi seemed to have found strength from her words. She took a deep breath, raised her eyebrows, and said stubbornly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, do you dare to make a bet with me? If I'm wrong this time, I'm willing to never increase my rank from now on! I'll be a concubine for the rest of my life!"
Hongli sneered: "Okay..."
Yan Wan held Hongli's hand and said, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Xian really slandered Concubine Jia, then she should be demoted to a noble lady or promised... She is really smart, she is deceiving you and promising that you will never demote her."
Ruyi: “…”
Hongli: “…”
He laughed inappropriately: "Mischievous."
But he still took Yan Wan's words to heart, turned to look at Ruyi, and said in a deep voice: "If you wrongly accuse someone again this time, I will demote you to a noble lady and will not raise your status anymore. Do you dare to accept it?"
Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and her face was full of disbelief: "Your Majesty, how could you be so mean to me?"
Hongli asked coldly: "So, are you going to continue chasing Concubine Jia and biting her?"
Ruyi felt that his words were too harsh to hear, and her heart was full of anger. Her eyebrows could not help but stand up: "This concubine will take this gamble! Then, Your Majesty, if you catch Concubine Jia committing adultery in the harem, how will you deal with her?!"
Hongli said expressionlessly: "This is not something you should consider."
Ruyi's face was filled with pain and humiliation: "Yes, I am just the emperor's humble concubine. How can I ask the emperor how to deal with a concubine?"
She laughed at herself and looked at Hongli with a sad face.
Hongli's brows were still furrowed tightly, not really understanding what she was thinking: "Aren't you determined to go after Concubine Jia? If what you accuse is true, she will be punished.
If it is not true, then you are making a false accusation. False accusers will be punished, and I have only demoted you to a promise. I have not implicated your entire clan, so why are you acting like this?"
Ruyi's face was filled with sadness: "Is Your Majesty really looking at me like this?"
Hongli touched Yanwan's hand that was holding his arm. The little hand was cold at the moment: "You are pretending like this, aren't you just trying to hear me say that I will not punish you no matter what?"
He shook his head: "I don't want to waste time talking to you. If you are scared, just go away and don't cause any more trouble."
After a pause, he softened his voice and said, "If I have time, I will come to see you."
Ruyi was so angry that she laughed: "Does the emperor think that I am working so hard just to win your favor?"
She said painfully: "Forget it, forget it. Even if the emperor doesn't trust me, I can't just watch him get deceived."
She said with a wooden face: "I am willing to bet my current position as a concubine for the sake of the emperor. If Concubine Jia had not had an affair with Prince Yu, I would have demoted myself to a concubine and would not advance!"
Seeing that Ruyi was so angry with him that her hair stood on end and her eyebrows raised, Hongli thought that she was going to turn around and leave as she did before, returning to Yikun Palace to wait for his comfort. Unexpectedly, she was so determined to catch the adulterer.
Looking at Ruyi's eyes which seemed like dead water but were actually almost shining, he knew that this matter could not be done secretly - he had to bring Ruyi along, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of evil she would do.
He said coldly: "Since you want to follow me so much, then follow me."
Ruyi felt betrayed. Seeing Hongli put his hand on the back of Yanwan's hand from time to time, as if he was sensing her body temperature, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She bit the soft flesh inside her lip and suddenly glanced at Yan Wan: "Noble Concubine Ling...you don't have to follow me."
The flesh on her cheeks bulged. "After all, Imperial Concubine Ling and Imperial Concubine Jia have always been at odds. If they are caught having an affair, I'm afraid outsiders will think Imperial Concubine Ling framed Imperial Concubine Jia. This will probably lead to criticism."
After saying this, she looked at Hongli earnestly, hoping that Hongli could understand her painstaking efforts.
Hongli didn't want to understand and was very angry: "Who else do you want to criticize? The palace? The civil and military officials? Or the people of the world?!!!"
Ruyi shuddered when he yelled at her. Her eyes widened and she looked at him innocently and confusedly, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Hongli's head was buzzing because of her stare, and he also stared at her with wide eyes: "Ling Guifei is younger than you, and she knows the ways of the world. What about you? In a few years, you will be old enough to be a great-grandmother, but you still look innocent and ignorant?
Don't say that what happened to Concubine Jia is not true. She is much more sensible than you. She won't cry in the arms of the guards and eunuchs! Even if she really wants to die, she should die of illness or sudden death, instead of you wanting to announce it to the world just to make the world in chaos!"
He was so angry that when Yan Wan looked up, she saw that he was drooling a few times. She quickly reached out her delicate hand and gently stroked his chest: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Concubine Xian doesn't know how to do it. I will teach you slowly. Don't get yourself upset. Concubine Xian loves you and will be worried about you."
