A few days later, at noon, Concubine Rong was having dinner, and the tassel hurriedly ran in, and said with a panicked expression: "Oh no, Niangniang, the slave maid just got the news from the front. The emperor was furious when he heard Long Yan and reprimanded the general. ”

Concubine Rong's face turned pale instantly, and she stood up and hurriedly said, "What about later?" How did the emperor deal with it? ”

Tassel said: "The emperor was tired of reprimanding, so he ordered the general to go home and reflect, and he was not allowed to go out without a summons, waiting for the delivery." ”

Concubine Rong sat down and muttered, "Why is my father so reckless? This palace just sent a message to him, so that he knew in his heart, and he didn't want his father to be so radical. ”

Tassel said: "The general is also dedicated to the sake of the mother." ”

Concubine Rong was very depressed and said: "Now there is no other way but to hope that the emperor will dissipate his anger as soon as possible and forgive his father." ”

In the Chunyuan Palace, Yu Lin sat on the warm kang on his side, his face was slightly tired, Lu Yuan personally made a pot of fragrant tea, stood behind the emperor, and gently rubbed his temples.

Yu Lin said with a little sentimentality: "Yuanyuan, why is my harem always in turmoil, I feel very tired. ”

Lu Yuan gently comforted: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, human nature is selfish, in order to achieve one's own selfish interests, it is inevitable that disputes will arise, this is the case in all dynasties, and it is not just my dynasty, the emperor does not have to worry too much." ”

Yu Lin listened, his expression stretched slightly, and asked, "Is that Yuanyuan also selfish?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "The concubine is just a mortal, so naturally she also has selfishness, and her selfishness is not small?" ”

"Oh? Can you tell me about it? Yu Lin raised his eyebrows.

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "The concubine's selfishness is" I want to win the heart of one person, and the white head is inseparable. ”

Yu Lin smiled unconsciously and said, "Talking to Yuanyuan always makes me feel comfortable, and Yuanyuan deserves to be a flower of my interpretation." ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "The emperor praises falsely, and the concubines can't afford it." ”

Yu Lin said again: "If Concubine Rong can be as empathetic as you, there won't be so many incidents in the harem." I always forgave her, but she always challenged my patience. ”

At this moment, Lu Yuan's heart was extremely complicated, she didn't want to add trouble to Lin, but she didn't want to let go of this excellent opportunity, after a short psychological struggle, she walked in front of Yu Lin and knelt down gently.

Seeing Lu Yuan kneeling, Yu Lin was very puzzled and asked, "Yuanyuan, why is this?" ”

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "The concubine wants to avenge Xin'er's sister!" ”

Yu Lin frowned and said, "If you have any grievances, you get up and say." ”

Lu Yuan recounted the words of Xiaoshunzi's brother Xiaokangzi that day, and finally said: "Adulteration with courtiers and stealing confidential information is obviously Concubine Rong's mother, but as soon as she made a golden cicada out of her shell, she blamed Xin'er's sister, poor Xin'er is young and has no city, so she can only be slandered." Xin'er is innocent and lively, simple by nature, and now she has been confined in Yanfu Palace like a prison for almost half a year, and she doesn't know what is happening now. As he spoke, tears flowed out and fell to the ground, leaving tear stains.

Yu Lin said: "Don't worry, I just punished her for grounding, and I didn't let people treat her harshly." ”

Lu Yuan said sadly: "The concubine knows that the emperor has never treated Xin'er harshly, but the servants in this palace are used to worshipping high and stepping on low, and when they see the wind and rudder, the emperor blames Xin'er, and those subordinates also take the opportunity to be cheap." ”

Yu Lin was a little displeased, straightened his face slightly, and said, "Are you blaming me?" ”

Lu Yuan said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine doesn't dare, all this is caused by Concubine Rong's mother, please punish the emperor fairly!" ”

Yu Lin was silent for a long time, summoned Li Zhong, and ordered him to go to Yaohua Palace to announce Concubine Rong.

Both of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.

About a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Rong arrived, she was dressed in plain clothes, her makeup was very simple, she bent her knees to greet Yu Lin, Lu Yuan also bowed to her gently, she raised her chin and turned a blind eye.

Yu Lin Zhengse said: "Concubine Rong, do you know why I called you here? ”

Concubine Rong said lightly: "The concubine doesn't know. ”

Yu Lin said again: "What you have done you know by yourself, do you say it yourself or do I find someone to tell me?" ”

Concubine Rong said: "The concubine really doesn't know what is wrong, if there is something wrong, someone deliberately fabricated it for the concubine." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yuan coldly.

Yu Lin said: "Do you dare to say that you did not fornicate with the previous dynasty? Why did I make a joke in the Queen's palace that day, and a few days later your father played a role in the matter of the Prince? ”

Concubine Rong replied: "Your Majesty, those who know about this matter are not only concubines in the harem, but also more than the concubine's father in the former court. ”

Lu Yuan secretly said in her heart: Concubine Rong is really powerful, and she removed half of her suspicion in a few words.

Yu Lin continued to ask her, "Is the matter of Yi Guiren related to you?" ”

Concubine Rong said simply: "I have nothing to do with the concubine!" ”

Yu Lin glanced at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan walked outside the hall and whispered a few words to Li Zhong.

In less than a moment, a little eunuch walked in behind Li Zhong, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "The servant of the imperial dining room Xiaokang Zi to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

Lu Yuan said: "Xiaokangzi, let me ask you, in front of the emperor, you have to answer truthfully, who is the little shunzi who served tea in front of the emperor before?" ”

Xiaokangzi raised his head and said clearly: "It's the slave's own brother." ”

When Concubine Rong heard Xiao Shunzi's name, her body trembled slightly, and she glanced at Xiaokangzi.

Lu Yuan said again: "Xiaokangzi, you tell you what you know, don't make it up." ”

Xiaokangzi calmly explained how Xiao Shunzi was bought by Concubine Rong, how he sneaked into the Chengming Hall at night to steal the folds, and how he blamed Yi Guiren after being discovered.

Concubine Rong's face turned snow-white, and Yu Lin stared at her tightly: "Do you admit that you did all this?" ”

"The concubine didn't do it!" Concubine Rong still refused to admit it: "Sister Lu has always been at odds with her concubines, and she is very good friends with Yi Guiren, so she found such a slave to put the trumped-up charges on the concubines." ”

Yu Lin said in a deep voice: "Concubine Rong, every time you make a mistake, I always forgive you, but who knows that you always don't know how to reflect and don't repent. This time, I want you to remember the lesson. Li Zhong! ”

Li Zhong hurriedly walked in and stood with his hands down.

Yu Lin said clearly: "Give an order: Concubine Rong fornicated with the courtiers, framed the concubine, stripped the title, and lowered it to a promise and moved out of Yaohua Palace!" ”

Concubine Rong was so weak that she almost fainted, and was helped out by the two palace maids of Chunyuan Palace.

Lu Yuan said softly: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of Dayin, fornicating with courtiers should be punished." ”

"Yuanyuan!" Yu Lin was slightly displeased and said: "I don't want to kill all the heroes in the future, and demote them to the title, which is already a very severe punishment for her." For Yi Guiren, I will appease her well to make up for the grievances she has suffered. ”

Lu Yuan didn't say anything anymore, and stepped forward to bow down: "The concubine thanked the emperor." ”

Coming out of the Chunyuan Palace, the cold wind blew, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shiver, Chunhua hurriedly put on a cloak for her, Lu Yuan said, "Go to Chenming Palace." ”

In the side hall, Concubine Xian ordered Yue Xi to serve hot tea, seeing Lu Yuan's unhappy expression, she guessed what she was thinking, so she said slowly: "Sister, don't think about it, this is the best ending." ”

Lu Yuan said softly: "Concubine Rong has outstanding appearance, and she comes from a family of heroes, the emperor, she is affectionate to her." ”

Concubine Xian said lightly: "How long can you get good for others, the emperor just thinks that her family is meritorious, and he doesn't want to be criticized behind his back." Let's go and see Yiguiren together. ”

Lu Yuan and Concubine Xian came to the side hall of Yanfu Palace together, Yi Guiren had been lifted, and the emperor ordered the Internal Affairs Office to send many people to clean and tidy up, and rewarded a lot of things. For a while, the figures in Yanfu Palace shuttled, and it was very lively.

Yi Guiren sat on the soft chair with an indifferent expression, deaf to the chaos around him, and when he saw Lu Yuan and the others coming, he got up and saluted Concubine Xian, and said lightly: "You are here." ”

Lu Yuan saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her face was slightly pale, the original bright brilliance in her eyes was gone, she was very indifferent, and her demeanor was very different from before. Seeing that her temperament had changed drastically, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shed tears, and then burst into tears and said with a smile: "I am relieved to see you in front of me." ”

Lu Yuan asked the emperor to allow Yi Guiren to move to Yuruntang for a few days and accompany each other, and Yu Lin knew that she and Yi Guiren were close to each other, and the two lived together, and they could also be comforted, so they readily agreed.
