A few days later, at noon, Concubine Rong was having a meal. Liusu hurried in and said in a panic: "It's not good, Madam, I just got the news from the front. During the morning of the morning, General Zheng suddenly came up.

A memorial was issued, advising the emperor not to appoint a crown prince too early, but also to establish a crown prince based on virtue and talent, and not just the direct descendants. After hearing this, the emperor was furious and reprimanded the general."

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

Liusu said: "The emperor was tired of reprimanding him, so he ordered the general to go home and reflect. He was not allowed to go out unless summoned and waited for his punishment."

Concubine Rong sat down slumped and murmured: "Why is my father so reckless? I just sent him a message to let him know what he is doing. I don't want my father to be so radical."

Liusu said: "The general is also thinking about his wife."

Concubine Rong was extremely frustrated and said: "There is no other way now. I can only hope that the emperor will calm down as soon as possible and forgive my father."

In the Chunyuan Hall, Yu Lin was sitting sideways on the heated kang, his face slightly tired. Lu Yuan brewed a pot of fragrant tea herself, then stood behind the emperor and gently rubbed his temples.

Yu Lin said with a hint of sadness: "Yuanyuan, why is it that my harem is always in turmoil? I feel very tired."

Lu Yuan gently comforted her and said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Human nature is selfish. In order to achieve one's own selfish interests, disputes will inevitably arise. This has been the case in all dynasties, and it is not just our case. Your Majesty does not need to be too worried."

After hearing this, Yu Lin's expression relaxed slightly and asked: "Is Yuanyuan also selfish?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I am just a mortal, so naturally I have selfish motives, and the selfishness is not small at all?"

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

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "My concubine's selfish intention is "I wish to win the heart of another person, and we will never be apart until we grow old together."

Yu Lin smiled unconsciously and said: "Talking to Yuanyuan always makes me feel better. Yuanyuan is worthy of being my interpreter."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary that I cannot afford to be a concubine."

Yu Lin added: "If Concubine Rong could be as considerate as you, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the harem. Every time I forgive her, she always challenges my patience."

At this moment, Lu Yuan's heart was extremely complicated. She didn't want to add trouble to Yu Lin, but she also didn't want to let go of this perfect opportunity. After a brief psychological struggle, she walked to Yu Lin and knelt down gently.

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

Lu Yuan solemnly said: "I want to redress sister Xiner's grievance!"

Yu Lin frowned and said, "If Mr. Yigui has any grievances, please get up and tell me."

Lu Yuan recounted what Xiao Shunzi's brother Xiao Kangzi said that day, and finally said: "The person who had an affair with the courtiers and stole the secrets was obviously Concubine Rong, but she escaped with a golden cicada and put the blame on Xin

My sister, I'm sorry that Xin'er is young and has no wealth, so she can only be slandered by others. Xin'er is innocent and lively, with a simple nature. She has been imprisoned in Yanfu Palace for almost half a year now, and I don't know how she is doing now."

As she stood, the tears had already flowed out and fell to the ground, leaving stains of tears.

Yu Lin said: "Don't worry, I just punished her by grounding her. I didn't let anyone treat her harshly."

Lu Yuan said sadly: "I know that the emperor has never treated Xin'er harshly, but the servants in this palace are accustomed to worshiping those who are superior and those who are inferior, and acting according to the wind. The emperor blamed Xin'er, and those subordinates took the opportunity to behave themselves."

Yu Lin was a little unhappy, frowned slightly and said, "Are you blaming me?"

Lu Yuan said with tears in her eyes: "I don't dare, I dare not. All this was caused by Concubine Rong. Please give me a fair punishment, Your Majesty!"

Yu Lin was silent for a long time, then called Li Zhong and ordered him to go to Yaohua Palace to announce the arrival of 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 and had very simple makeup. She knelt down to say hello to Yu Lin. Lu Yuan also gave her a gentle salute, but she raised her chin high and turned a blind eye.

Yu Lin said seriously: "Concubine Rong, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Concubine Rong whispered: "I don't know."

Yu Lin said again: "I know what you did. Should you say it yourself or should I find someone to tell you?"

Concubine Rong said: "I really don't know what I did wrong. If there is something wrong, someone deliberately fabricated it for me." She said and gave Lu Yuan a cold look.

Yu Lin said: "Do you dare to say that you did not have an affair with the previous court? Why did I make a joke in the Queen's Palace that day, and a few days later your father filed a memorial for the appointment of the crown prince."

Concubine Rong replied: "Your Majesty, I am not the only one in the harem who knows about this, and my concubine's father is not the only one in the previous dynasty."

Lu Yuan secretly thought in her heart: Concubine Rong is really powerful, and her suspicions have been eliminated in half with just a few words.

Yu Lin continued to ask her: "Does Yi Guiren's matter have anything to do with you?"

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

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

In less than a moment, a young eunuch followed Li Zhong and walked in. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to say hello: "My servant, the well-off man in the imperial kitchen, is going to say hello to the emperor."

Lu Yuan said: "Xiao Kangzi, let me ask you, you must answer truthfully in front of the emperor, who is Xiao Shunzi who was serving tea in front of the emperor to you?"

Xiaokangzi raised his head and said clearly: "He is my slave's biological brother."

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

Lu Yuan said again: "Xiaokangzi, tell me what you know. Don't make up random things."

Xiao Kangzi calmly told the whole story in detail how Xiao Shunzi was bribed by Concubine Rong, how he sneaked into Chengming Palace at night to steal the memorial, and how he framed the blame on Yi Guiren after being discovered.

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

"I didn't do it!" Concubine Rong still refused to admit: "Sister Lu has always been at odds with me, and is very close to Yigui, so she found a slave like this to put unwarranted charges on me."

Yu Lin said solemnly: "Rong Fei, every time you make a mistake, I always forgive you, but you always don't know how to reflect and don't want to 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: "I'm issuing an order: Concubine Rong has an affair with a court official, falsely accuses the concubine, deprives her of the title, reduces her to a lower rank and agrees, and moves out of Yaohua Palace!"

After hearing this, Concubine Rong felt weak and almost fainted. She was helped out by two maids from Chunyuan Palace.

Lu Yuan said softly: "Your Majesty, in accordance with Dayin's laws and regulations, anyone who has an affair with a court official should be punished for his crime."

"Yuanyuan!" Yu Lin said with a slight displeasure: "I don't want to kill all the heroes, demote them, and ban them. This is already a severe punishment for her. I will comfort Yigui to make up for her.

The injustice suffered.”

Lu Yuan said nothing more, stepped forward and bowed: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

When she came out of Chunyuan Palace, the cold wind blew, and Lu Yuan couldn't help shivering. Chunhua quickly put on a cloak for her, and Lu Yuan said, "Let's go to Chenming Palace."

In the side hall, Concubine Xian ordered Yue Xi to serve hot tea. Seeing that Lu Yuan looked unhappy, she guessed what she was thinking and said slowly: "Sister, don't think too much, this is the best ending."

Lu Yuan said softly: "Concubine Rong has outstanding appearance and comes from a family of meritorious officials. The emperor must have feelings for her after all."

Concubine Xian said calmly: "How long can you get good results by treating others with sex? The emperor just wants her family to have merit and doesn't want to be criticized behind her back. Let's go and see Yiguiren together."

Lu Yuan and Concubine Xian came to the side hall of Yanfu Palace together. Yiguiren had been lifted from the ban. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send many people to clean and tidy up, and they also rewarded many things. For a time, Yanfu Palace was filled with people.

People were walking around and it was very lively.

Yi Guiren sat on the soft chair with an indifferent expression, turning a deaf ear to the chaos around her. When she saw Lu Yuan and the others coming, she stood up, saluted Concubine Xian, and said lightly: "You are here."

Lu Yuan saw that she had become much thinner, her face was slightly pale, the original lively brilliance in her eyes was gone, she was very indifferent, and her behavior was also very different from before. Lu Yuan saw that her temperament changed drastically, she couldn't help but shed tears, and then

Po Ti smiled and said, "I feel relieved when I see you looking at me."
