Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

The old emperor's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth drooped, his gray eyes stared at Xiao Lian, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"You speak righteously, but in fact you are just trying to stand up for Yu Wei.

Xiao Yan, you are being selfish. "

Xiao Yan did not refute this.

"As long as you are human, you will definitely have selfishness."

The old emperor said solemnly, "Your selfishness has affected your judgment."

Xiao Lan said: "Wei Chen wants to make the wrongdoer admit his mistake and apologize, isn't that right?"

There was anger in the old emperor's tone.

"But don't forget, Concubine Shu Gui is my concubine! If you ask her to apologize to Yu curling up, you will be humiliating me!"

Xiao Yan responded without being humble or arrogant.

"Wei Chen's thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours.

Asking Concubine Shu to admit her mistake and apologize, not only will you not lose face.

It will also let everyone in the world know what a fair and just emperor you are.

You enforce the law impartially, and do not let go of the person who made the mistake because he is your bedside.

You set an example for civil and military officials and set an example for the world.

Even if this matter is recorded in the history books, future generations will only praise you for being upright! "

The old emperor knew that his health was not good and his lifespan should not be too long, so he was very concerned about the evaluation of him by the history books.

He hopes to leave a good reputation as a Ming Jun, even if he dies, he will still be able to live on forever.

Xiao Yan's words just scratched his itch, which made his heart skip a beat.

If just asking Concubine Shu to apologize can make him gain a good reputation, this deal is really worth it!

As for whether Concubine Shu will be angry after the incident? That doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, people can't run away in the harem, so when he turns around, he will give her something in private and comfort her.

The old emperor's brows gradually stretched, and the expression on his face eased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I don't care how people in later generations evaluate me.

But what you just said does make some sense.

Let everyone in the world know that there are family rules and national laws.

Even a noble concubine can't touch innocent people and hurt people.

Only when everyone can obey the law can the country be in long-term stability. "

Xiao Lian said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The old emperor thought for a while before saying.

"It's okay to apologize, but you have to be careful. After all, Concubine Shu Gui is the biological mother of the sixth prince, so she has to give her some face."

Xiao Yan responded quickly: "Wei Chen understands!"

He paused and added another sentence.

"Since Wei Chen is going to see Concubine Shu Gui, why don't Wei Chen also check out the sachets incidentally?"

The old emperor frowned again: "Do you really think Concubine Yue was killed by Concubine Shu Gui?"

Xiao Lian: "Until the case is unraveled, Wei Chen does not dare to jump to conclusions."

"How are you going to check the sachet?"

Xiao Juan knew that he was worried that the matter would be escalating, and that it would not end well if he turned around, so he said.

"Wei Chen just wanted to ask Concubine Shu to cooperate with the investigation, not that she was the real murderer.

In order to avoid misunderstanding by outsiders, Wei Chen will not just leak the investigation.

This time, when Wei Chen went to see Concubine Shu, he only said to the outside world that it was to resolve the misunderstanding between Concubine Shu and Yu Curly. "

The old emperor was satisfied with the answer: "Then do as you say."

Xiao Fan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

The old emperor glanced at Wei Wynn who was standing beside him: "you also follow along."

"Here."

Wei Huaien knew in his heart that the emperor was not at ease. He was afraid that Prince Lang would embarrass Concubine Shu, so he specially sent him to follow him to prevent unforeseen problems.

Xiao Yan is naturally well aware of this.

He had someone send a message back to the Justice Department and asked Meng Xizhou to escort Yu Curly into the palace.

Yu Weiyi didn't know why she wanted to enter the palace, she thought it was something happened in the palace, and she felt uneasy.

She was brought in front of Xiao Lian.

There is also Wei Wynn beside Xiao Juan.

Wei Huaien bowed slightly towards Yu Chou: "this slave and maid pays respect to the princess of the county."

Yu curl looked at Xiao Lian and then at Wei Wynn, with confusion on his face.

Xiao Yan took the initiative to explain.

"The reason for letting you into the palace is for Concubine Shu."

Then he reiterated that the emperor already knew that Concubine Shu planned to harm others and ordered her to apologize.

Yu Weiwei was very surprised: "The emperor asked Concubine Shu to apologize to me? Am I dreaming?"

She is a princess of a county, when did she have such a big face?

Xiao Juan said warmly: "Of course I'm not dreaming, the emperor is just and strict, and he will definitely not let you suffer in vain."

Yu curling hurriedly saluted in the direction of Zhengde Hall.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Xiao Lian: "Let's go to Jingque Palace first, and when the matter of Concubine Shu is settled, I'll take you to thank the emperor later."

Yu curling nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."

Xiao Lian led her towards Jingque Palace, and Wei Huaien followed them unhurriedly.

The group soon arrived at Jingque Palace.

Concubine Shu Gui was recently grounded, the gate of Jingque Palace was closed, and no one had come to visit for several days.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door today, and the eunuch who was in charge of guarding the gate in Jingque Palace was quite surprised.

He looked out through the crack of the door and found that it was Prince Lang and his wife Wei Wynn. His heart skipped a beat, and he was afraid for no reason.

He is just a little eunuch with a high weight in the direction, how can he dare to neglect him? He hurriedly opened the door, invited people in, and then hurried to report to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu Gui is teasing parrots at the moment.

As long as she said a queen, the parrot would call out a fool.

She was so amused that she laughed so hard.

"This little thing is too interesting!"

Just then, Willow branch hurried in and said in a low voice.

"Reporting to the noble concubine, the king of Langjun, the princess of the county, and the father-in-law of Wei Huaien are here."

The smile on Concubine Shu's face disappeared immediately.

She didn't have any good feelings for Prince Lang and his wife.

If only Wangfufu of Langjun County came, and Concubine Shu Gui didn't even want to see them, but there was also Wei Huaien, it would be different.

Wei Huaien is the most useful eunuch around the emperor. He is deeply trusted by the emperor. Even if he is arrogant and domineering like Concubine Shu, he has to be restrained by three points when he sees him on weekdays.

Now he accompanies the Prince of Langjun and his wife to Jingque Palace, indicating that this matter should be approved by the emperor.

Concubine Shu knew whether she could lift the ban or not, all in the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, she did not dare to be temperamental, and gave instructions directly to Willow Branch.

"Let them in."

"Here."

After a while, Xiao Lian, Yu Niaowei, and Wei Huaien were brought to the front of Concubine Shu.

Even if she had been prepared, when she really saw Xiao Wan and Yu Weiwei, Concubine Shu's expression involuntarily became stiff.

She pretended to be drinking tea to hide her unnaturalness.

By the time she put down the teacup, her demeanor had returned to normal.

She straightened her sleeves, raised her chin slightly, looked arrogant, and said slowly.

"There is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, and you suddenly came to Jingque Palace, what's the matter?"

Xiao Lian: "We have two things that need your cooperation."
