Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 157: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 77

Jin Yuyan seemed to want to argue a little, but Hongli cut her off directly and said, "You usually beat and scold the palace maids, but have you ever thought that the people you asked to do things have resentment towards you?"

Li Xin, who was kneeling beside Jin Yuyan, looked up suddenly, as if she didn't expect that she had found the wrong person!

The master was in a bad mood, and the servants were often beaten and scolded. She was often scolded as well, but... but she didn't expect that the person she found was someone with a resentful heart!

"That little girl Lingxuan has already told everything, Lady Jia, do you have anything else to quibble about?"

Jin Yuyan knelt for a long while without saying a word, but she could only think of ways to excuse herself: "I, the maid in the palace, am not without suspicion either! How can the emperor convict me based on one side's testimony?"

"Besides, if I did this, wouldn't it be putting my child's safety in danger? Now that Yongsheng is seriously injured, I am heartbroken. If I really wanted to harm someone, how could I gamble with my child's life?"

"I beg your Majesty to look into this matter. I, your majesty, am truly wronged!"

"Whether I have wronged you or not, you know it in your heart, and I know it too!"

Hongli felt depressed when he saw her unrepentant appearance. He was about to ask Jinzhong to send her back and put her under house arrest. This matter still needed to be discussed.

At this time, Li Xin had come out to take the blame. She crawled in front of Jin Yuyan to block her, kowtowed and apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, please understand that this was done by me alone, and Concubine Jia was not aware of it!"

Wei Yanwan looked at Li Xin and had to say that Jin Yuyan was surrounded by capable people, Zhenshu was one of them back then, and Li Xin is another one now.

"Master and servant are of one mind, how can we know that it is not your master's instructions."

Li Xin had already made up her mind to exonerate Jin Yuyan. She pointed at Wei Yanwan and said in a hateful voice, "Your Majesty, our master has been unhappy ever since you had the Empress. When you were in love with the Empress, did you ever think about the people in your harem?"

"Our master has been serving you since you were still a prince. Did you ever think that our noble lady was pregnant when you met the queen? Noble Lady Jia is not liked by the emperor, and even the Fourth Prince is disliked by the emperor. It is rare for her to see the emperor on weekdays!"

Li Xin spoke as if she was helping Jin Yuyan to say all the things she had said over the years, "My master can't sleep all day, and I feel so distressed when I see this. But Your Majesty treats the Empress completely differently. Even the Fifth Prince is loved by Your Majesty. I can't bear to see my master in such pain, so I have the evil intention of murdering the Fifth Prince. If the Fifth Prince is gone, the Empress will be heartbroken!"

Jin Yuyan was deeply shocked, and the tears that were already in her eyes suddenly burst out. Li Xin smiled sadly, "I will take all the blame. Please forgive Concubine Jia, Your Majesty."

It was not known whether Hongli believed it or not. He ordered Jinzhong to take Li Xin away and beat her to death, and Jin Yuyan was taken back and put under house arrest.

The matter was probably settled like that. Wei Yanwan looked at Hongli and said to him, "Your Majesty, do you think Concubine Jia is innocent or guilty?"

He hugged Wei Yanwan tightly with a headache, leaning his head against her shoulder: "I don't know either."

Li Xin stopped everything. Although she was loyal, Hongli felt that they were of the same ilk. Jin Yuyan had indeed done many wrong things in the past few years, so he demoted her again and again.

But he didn't expect that she still didn't know her mistake. Now Jin Yuyan is not his headache, but his son Yongsheng.

If he was still a young prince, he could still take him away, but Yongsheng is so grown up now, and even if he has an adoptive mother in the future, he will not be truly close to her.

If this is the case, there will inevitably be complaints in the future, and this is why he hesitated.

Wei Yanwan didn't say much, but soon she heard someone say that the Fourth Prince wanted to see her.

"Stupid! He's so badly injured, why is he here?!"

Hongli was indeed somewhat disappointed with Yongsheng, but Wei Yanwan said, "The Fourth Prince is filial, and it is inevitable that he feels bad when his mother gets into trouble. If the Emperor can see her, it won't be a wasted trip for him."

Yongcheng was almost carried in. He looked at Hongli and Wei Yanwan, lowered his head and said, "Your son pays respects to the Emperor Father and Empress Dowager."

Hongli frowned slightly, "You are seriously injured now, what are you doing out here?"

Yongcheng knew that Hongli probably didn't want to see him now, but for the sake of his mother, he couldn't help but beg, "Son knows that mother did something wrong."

He pleaded slowly, and although he was young, he was still calm.

"I do not ask the Emperor and Empress to forgive my mother's mistakes. I only ask that you spare her life for the many years she has served you."

Hongli looked at him and whispered, "Yongcheng, your mother has done so many evil things that it is no longer possible to justify one wrong thing."

"I know that my mother has done many evil things, but as a son, I ask the Emperor to forgive me. I will discipline her strictly in the future and will not let her do wrong things again!"

Wei Yanwan looked at Yongsheng and advised, "Your Majesty, since the Fourth Prince is so filial, it won't be difficult for you to save Concubine Jia's life. Just remove the maids around her and replace them with maids to serve her."

After listening to Wei Yanwan's words, Hongli decided to spare Jin Yuyan's life.

"Yongsheng, I am doing this for your sake. If your mother does anything evil again in the future, I will make her suffer a fate worse than death."

Listening to his father's cold and ruthless words, Yongcheng nodded with difficulty, "Yes, I will definitely ask mother to correct it and will not embarrass the emperor."

Seeing that he was not feeling well, Wei Yanwan showed concern and asked someone to send him back. Afterwards, Hongli held her hand and said with a smile: "How can my Yanwan be so kind?"

"I am not kind." Wei Yanwan smiled and denied his words. There seemed to be a little coldness in her eyes. It was hard to see clearly but there was not much emotion: "If Yongsheng had not defended him today, Yongqi would have been injured. Since Yongsheng came to ask, I am willing to give him face. Similarly, if Yongqi was injured today, even if the emperor was unhappy, I would make Concubine Jia miserable."

Besides, death is the simplest punishment. Living in misery is her final destination.

Don't you like to bully the palace maids? She wants to see how much Jin Yuyan can bear.

Hongli touched her face and said, "How could I be angry?"

He just felt that Yan Wan was too kind. Although she was good at managing the harem, she was indeed too tolerant towards these concubines. However, Hongli did not say much. It was okay for her to continue being so kind. He would protect her in the future.

As soon as Yongsheng came out of Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, he saw Yongqi standing at the door.

"Yongqi, mother is sorry for you."

Yongqi looked at him silently for a while, then said in a low voice: "Did you find out today, or did you know it a long time ago?"
