Jiang Zuiyao couldn't hold it after all, she had been wronged before, but she held on, only at this moment, under the threat of her own life, all her strength collapsed and collapsed, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes without fighting.

Even if he couldn't hold it, he didn't dare to show any weakness in front of Emperor Qingguo, although the tears flowed down uncontrollably, he still raised his head, looked at Emperor Qingguo viciously, gritted his teeth stubbornly, and was ready to sacrifice his life to protect chastity at any time.

It was at this moment that Emperor Qingguo realized that the woman in front of him was just a woman who looked like Mu'er, and she and Mu'er were two completely different people.

"Are you really so unwilling to obey me?" , The emperor asked: "Even if I can give you the grace that the women of the palace can't ask for, even if I can give you endless glory and wealth, don't you want to?" ”

Emperor Qingguo couldn't help but underestimate Jiang Zuiyao a little too much, if she was a woman who coveted wealth and nobility, she would have been the daughter-in-law of the Shao family in peace.

At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao didn't speak, although she was wronged, she questioned, she hated, she still refused to show her heart in order to take the overall situation into account, for fear that it would be a big deal.

After a long time, Emperor Qingguo breathed a deep sigh of relief, let go of all his desire for domination, and was just about to speak, when he heard a strange sound outside the door.

"You can't break in like that! No! Stop her! The shouts of the palace people attracted the emperor to look over, and through the paper window on the door, you can see that there are many figures flickering outside.

The emperor thought that something was wrong, walked over and pushed open the palace door, and saw the concubine and the palace people twisting together.

The emperor was particularly surprised and asked, "Aren't you grounded?" How did you end up here? ”

When the concubine saw the emperor, she immediately shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

As soon as the palace people saw that the emperor had appeared, they let go of the concubine, and the concubine immediately knelt at the emperor's feet, her face was wet and couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and wailed: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine is wronged!" The murderer of arson is not a concubine, Your Majesty is aware of it! ”

The emperor frowned irritably, and said coldly, "Didn't I order you to be grounded?" How did you get out? ”

But the concubine didn't give any explanation, climbed in front of the emperor, hugged the emperor's ankle and begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine admitted that the concubine was indeed jealous of Concubine Mu's favor, and the concubine had never seen which woman His Majesty favored and let her live in your bedroom, nor had she ever seen which concubine His Majesty had sheltered in front of the concubine. ”

The words will make the emperor feel irritated at the moment, and the emperor raised his foot and shook off the concubine's hand, and glanced at him with disdain.

The palace people and guards present were shocked, they had all seen how noble the concubine was in the past, but they had never seen the concubine so depressed, after being reduced to agree, she was wearing ordinary brocade, her hair was scattered and messy by the torrential rain, only a golden hairpin was pinned, and the whole person was soaked, kneeling there and begging humbly.

The concubine really cried this time, kneeling and lowering her head heavily, tears stained the wet ground, and the concubine choked up from crying: "The concubine also admitted that she did send someone to poison Concubine Mu's bird's nest, but the concubine really didn't set fire to the side hall, it really wasn't done by the concubine, it really wasn't!" Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, wronged! ”

The emperor looked down at the painful concubine, and said coldly: "Look at you now, but there is still a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance, in the middle of the night, I ran to Concubine Hui in the rain to cry and make a fuss, what kind of system!" ”

The concubine also knew that it was not in accordance with the rules to do so, but she replied helplessly: "The concubine is wronged!" His Majesty can cure the concubine for the crime of poisoning the bird's nest of the concubine, but the arson has nothing to do with the concubine, and the concubine is wronged! ”

"Are you wronged? Just because you poisoned Mu Concubine's Bird's Nest, I can remove you from the position of concubine! The Emperor roared angrily and continued: "It seems that I really indulged you so much in the past, that now I have reduced you to a promise, and you still dare to resist the decree and run out!" Did you know that resisting the decree is the crime of killing the head? ”

"Your Majesty!" , The concubine roared, and finally raised her head on her knees, looked at the emperor bitterly and said, "Don't you know how deep the concubine's love for you is?" The concubine loves you, how can you tolerate other women to be favored by you! ”

"Do you love me? You love yourself! On the contrary, these words disgusted the emperor: "What you care about is that you lose your position as a concubine, and you came to plead with me, and you also want me to restore your position as a concubine, don't you?" ”

Looking at the woman who has been pampered for many years at his feet, he is too much for her power, and he pampered her for the sake of her stable position when he first ascended the throne, in his heart he has never forgotten Mu'er, although he has also had some feelings for the concubine over the years, but under the evil of the concubine, this feeling has also been exhausted.

The emperor was completely disappointed in the concubine, and said: "It's not that I haven't given you a chance before, so many opportunities, but you haven't cherished them once, you are too disappointed in me." Come on, cut off her constant position, demote her to a concubine, and immediately enter the cold palace. ”

This passage can be regarded as completely pushing the concubine into the abyss, and the concubine categorically did not expect that she risked her life to come to beg Your Majesty, but instead of letting Your Majesty re-investigate the arson case, she made herself even more miserable.

This time, the concubine didn't have any pleading, just knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor stupidly.

In the eyes of others, Concubine Xu was so frightened that she was stupid, but in fact, she was already disheartened.

The eunuch in charge hurriedly summoned the guards to come forward and pressed the concubine down in the rain.

Then, His Majesty wanted to go back to the dormitory, but when he saw that Jiang Zuiyao was already holding scissors against his jaw, he stopped, stared at Jiang Zuiyao indifferently and lost for a long time, turned around and walked away in the rain.

This frightened the eunuch in charge, and he hurriedly chased after him with an umbrella, shouting: "Your Majesty, it's raining, be careful of the dragon's body." ”

Until His Majesty left completely, the door of the side hall slowly opened, and Concubine Hui walked out from the departure and asked, "Your Majesty is gone?" ”

The palace maid nodded: "It's gone, but Concubine Mu is still in the dormitory." ”

It was not that Concubine Hui in the side hall did not hear everything that happened tonight, but she chose to ignore it and chose to ignore it until she confirmed that the emperor had left, and she walked towards the dormitory.

After entering the dormitory, seeing Jiang Zuiyao's depressed appearance, Concubine Hui didn't ask what happened, and instructed the palace people: "Go and be hot water, Concubine Mu is drenched in the rain, don't feel the cold, and come over with a new dress." ”

The palace people answered, and did as Concubine Hui instructed.

Concubine Hui looked at Jiang Zuiyao, who was holding scissors, looking depressed, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
