Jingwan drank the water and listened carefully. She felt something was wrong. "Did something happen?"
"Miss, do you want me to go and have a look?" Nanny Gong said.
Jingwan shook her head. "No need. If something really happened, we'll know in the morning." Something that happened in the middle of the night was definitely not a good thing. It might be some shady business. No matter what the purpose was, whether or not he could find out was one thing, but he was afraid that he would get himself into trouble if he didn't do it well. "Nanny, go and rest. You don't have to stay here to watch over me."
"We're outside, not at home. Miss, sleep well. I'm fine."
Although Nanny Gong spoke softly to her, Jingwan knew her insistence. They had been together day and night for more than two years. It was enough for them to know each other's temperament. When Nanny Gong was stubborn, Jingwan could not do anything to her.
So, she had better go to sleep. Jingwan yawned and lay back down. She was not very awake. After Nanny Gong turned off the light, she fell asleep quickly. After that, she slept well.
Nanny Gong gently fanned Jingwan to make sure that there was a cool breeze, but it was not too fast to disturb her.
In the darkness, although she could not see clearly, Nanny Gong still looked at Jingwan. "Good girl, after tonight, those demons and monsters related to the Prince will be cleaned up. He said that he will treat you well for the rest of his life. Believe him. Although he often does not abide by the rules, does whatever he wants, and is overbearing and bad-tempered, he always keeps his word. You will live a good life. You don't have to rely on the Third Young Master and Third Young Mistress. Good girl, you will live a good life."
At this moment, Emperor Le Chengdi was sitting upright in the Li Zheng's house. Although he was not wearing the imperial throne of the imperial court and was only wearing casual clothes, he still exuded an extraordinary aura. Especially the cold air that was emitted from his body, which made people shiver even though it was June. There were quite a number of people present. The nobles and ministers were better off, but the commoners were kneeling on the ground, shivering.
Not only the common people were kneeling on the ground, but there were also two people of high status kneeling in front of Le Chengdi.
"Why did Imperial Father summon me here in the middle of the night?" Li Hongyuan walked in casually from the outside. His voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't woken up yet. At the same time, his displeasure could be felt from his body. Thinking about it, it was reasonable that he was woken up from a good sleep. If it wasn't his father who invited him, he would probably be very angry.
Le Chengdi raised his head and glanced at his sixth son. His hair was hanging loosely behind his head, and his coat was casually draped over his shoulders. Under the dim light of the fire, Le Chengdi looked much more docile and harmless than usual, which was full of anger and anger. As his father, Le Chengdi had never seen him like this. "Your clothes are disheveled, what a scandal!"
Li Hongyuan frowned, feeling that his anger was rising again. In fact, he had never slept well. When he slept, the environment was very quiet, and any noise would disturb him. When he woke up, he was very grumpy. These days on the road, he naturally didn't sleep well. At this time, even his father wouldn't be able to get a good look from him. He rubbed his eyebrows and suppressed his anger. "Imperial Father, what's the matter?" If there's something, say it quickly. This prince still needs to sleep. He glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. "Why aren't you sleeping? Are you singing a drama?"
In his previous life, after he ascended the throne, especially after the country was stable, even if the sky fell and the earth cracked, it would have to wait until he woke up. In this life, the only thing that could disturb his sleep without arousing his anger was probably Jingwan's matter.
Being woken up in the middle of the night, no one would be happy. Knowing his temperament, Le Chengdi didn't argue with him at this time.
"Yuan 'er, sit down first." Noble Consort Su said in a soft voice.
Li Hongyuan glanced in the direction of the voice. "Imperial Mother, why are you here?"
"Imperial Mother and your Imperial Father don't want to be tormented at this time, but, alas …" Noble Consort Su sighed helplessly.
Eunuch Mu and the others brought a chair for him and placed it next to Noble Consort Su.
Li Hongyuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly walked over with a sullen expression. After sitting down, he directly reached out and pressed his hand to his forehead. He leaned against the chair in an undignified manner and then closed his eyes. From where Imperial Concubine Su was sitting, she could clearly see his slightly furrowed brows. There was a hint of forbearance and sullenness mixed in. He seemed to be quite uncomfortable.
Noble Consort Su felt sorry for her son. Her son usually slept until he woke up naturally. Waking up in the middle of the night, he must be suffering. Therefore, her anger towards the culprit rose even more. "Lord Ruan, how long is your good daughter going to make us wait?" Even though Ruan Ruizhong's back was hunched, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He looked dispirited. Although he had only twisted his waist before, he probably wasn't very nimble now, so Noble Consort Su's anger didn't subside.
"Noble Consort …" Ruan Ruizhong's lips moved, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.
Li Hongyuan opened his eyes and glanced at him. This old man was already so depressed now. When he knew everything, even if he didn't vomit blood and die, he would most likely have a stroke and collapse in bed. Wouldn't the plan of squeezing him for a few more years be ruined? Li Hongyuan looked away with disinterest. In the entire Qi Yuan, there were tens of millions of people. Couldn't they find a person who could replace him, Ruan Ruizhong? If it was useless, then it was useless.
"Is Ruan Fangfei causing trouble again? Tell me what's going on first. "
"That little b * tch has the gall of a bear's heart and leopard's guts. As your future Imperial Consort, she actually hooked up with someone else." Noble Consort Su gnashed her teeth and said hatefully.
Ruan Ruizhong's vision turned black, but he couldn't defend himself and could only gasp for breath.
Li Hongyuan paused and then straightened his body, slightly surprised, "This is her way of making ben wang regret?" He sneered, "She's really going all out." Looking at the two men kneeling in front of Le Chengdi, no, one of them could only be said to be a teenager, "Then, who is this man, Uncle Zhong, or Eleventh Brother, or both of them?"
"Jin Qinwang …" Ruan Ruizhong trembled all over, looking like he couldn't wait to strangle Li Hongyuan to death.
That's why, once Li Hongyuan's mouth became poisonous, even a saint could stomp his feet.
Li Hongyuan sneered, "She has the guts to do it, why would she be afraid of others talking about it?"
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, it has nothing to do with me. It's Uncle Zhong, not me, it has nothing to do with me." Eleventh Prince hurriedly distanced himself. He didn't want to be remembered by the terrifying Sixth Brother. He also made a move on his several Imperial Brothers who held great power, without any leniency. He himself, this pitiful worm without power and influence, certainly wouldn't be enough to play with him for a round.
Speaking of which, Eleventh Prince was also depressed. He was just used to seeing all kinds of beauties around him. Suddenly coming to this kind of place, he met a good-looking and enthusiastic girl and wanted to taste a beauty with a different flavor. To put it bluntly, he was used to eating exotic delicacies and suddenly wanted to taste plain porridge and side dishes, just as Jingwan expected when she first entered the village.
This girl happened to be from Li Zheng's family. Moreover, speaking of which, he was the one who was seduced. Perhaps she really was blinded by riches and honor and wanted to achieve good things early. That girl was "hungry and couldn't be choosy" and chose someone who seemed to be easy to hook up with and had a noble status. And a certain prince really willingly took the bait, so there was an appointment at night. Unfortunately, this pair of wild mandarin ducks was just about to fiercely grind each other when they heard movement and bumped into another pair of wild mandarin ducks who were working hard to fight. That feeling was really …
Previously, when Le Chengdi didn't say anything, Eleventh Prince knelt quietly. At this moment, he probably really wanted to prove his innocence to his Sixth Brother, so he spilled the beans and explained the cause and effect of his experience clearly without omitting anything. Therefore, in the eyes of these unfavored princes, Li Hongyuan's despotic power was more terrifying than Le Chengdi's power.
Eleventh Prince was not yet fourteen, but since he first had sex, there were signs that he couldn't stop. However, because he was still in the palace and wasn't old enough to marry, he could only fool around with the palace maids around him. Then, he secretly looked at the other palace maids in the palace, even his father's concubines, and swallowed his saliva.
It was no wonder that he was so easily tempted by her.
After he finished speaking, Le Chengdi lifted his leg and kicked him. "What a good-for-nothing."
Eleventh Prince staggered, but Le Chengdi didn't use too much force, so he knelt down obediently. However, he carefully moved a little further away.
In Le Chengdi's mind, Sixth Prince was also beautiful, but he knew restraint. He was not the kind of licentious person who disregarded his health and dared to play without restraint. His hair was not even fully grown, but he dared to play without restraint. Was he not afraid of hurting his health? After all, he was his son. He had to ask the imperial physician to check his pulse after the matter. However, even if his son took the initiative to do something wrong, it was because he was led astray by others. Moreover, this time, he was obviously seduced by others. So, this was all the fault of the other party. "Li Zheng, you have raised a good daughter."
Li Zheng knelt on the ground, trembling more and more. His daughter was usually proud and arrogant, but who knew, who knew, who knew that she would do such a ridiculous thing. "Your, Your Majesty …" He trembled but couldn't say more.
The girl wasn't any better. She didn't have the "bold enthusiasm" of seducing others.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since Eleventh Prince likes this girl a little, why don't we take her away? There's nothing bad about being a maid. After all, if we punish a girl when we pass by this village, it's equivalent to disturbing the peace here. It's also bad for Your Majesty's reputation. What do you think?" Imperial Concubine Su suggested.
Imperial Concubine Su knew the temperament of people like Eleventh Prince too well. He purely wanted to taste something new. If he didn't eat it, he probably couldn't forget it. After the novelty passed, he would think about tonight and look at the wild flower picked by the roadside. He would only think about how embarrassing it was. It would be strange if this wild flower could have a good life.
The way to punish people really didn't have to be so simple and crude. It could be more tactful and wouldn't ruin the reputation.
Le Chengdi pondered for a moment. "As my beloved concubine says."
"Thank you, Imperial Father. Thank you, Imperial Concubine." Eleventh Prince hurriedly kowtowed. Li Zheng and his daughter didn't know the rules, but he couldn't not understand.
"That's enough. Scram to the side."
Thus, this pair of wild mandarin ducks was let off lightly. However, the other pair wasn't so simple.
Old Madame Ruan came late with Ruan Fangfei supported. Behind them was Imperial Concubine Su's aunt.
It was obvious that she had just washed up and dressed.
Ruan Fangfei was originally dispirited and listless because of the shock from the three heads. It could even be said that she had been muddle-headed. Now, even if she had seriously washed up, she had lost all her luster.
There was a state where even if it was withered, you could still feel its vitality. There was also a state where no matter how beautiful and beautiful it was, you could only feel the decay emitting from it.
There was no doubt that Ruan Fangfei was in the second state. She was rotten from the inside, like a walking corpse, moving slowly. When the aunt behind her pushed her to kneel down, she was still in a trance.
As for her mother, she didn't seem to be in a good state either.
When Ruan Rui saw his wife and daughter like this, he was extremely distressed. He almost burst into tears. Trembling, he got up and knelt beside the mother and daughter. "Emperor, I'm afraid there are other secrets in this matter. Emperor, please investigate thoroughly." His daughter was caught having sex with someone. This had already become an indelible fact. Now that things had reached this point, it was better to completely break up and get rid of it. His daughter was either forced or framed. It was better than shamelessly gaining a reputation for being lascivious.
Seeing the officials who had always been loyal to him like this, Le Chengdi's heart softened. He sighed softly. "In that case, let the two of them explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Royal Brother, tell me first, what exactly is going on? "
The one who was the most aggrieved right now was probably Prince Zhong. He still didn't know how this happened. He inexplicably became an adulterer. He was only slightly awakened when he was caught, and when he found out about the situation he was facing, he was almost scared to death.
"Imperial brother …" Prince Zhong's lips wriggled. "This matter," he didn't know how to say it. He was afraid that no one would believe him. However, he had to say it. "Because it was too hot and I couldn't sleep, I kept tossing and turning on the bed. So, this younger brother simply got up and walked around blindly. Because the Imperial Army was patrolling at night, this younger brother didn't bring any guards. Unknowingly, I walked a little further away. When I heard some noise, I was a little scared and was about to turn back. Who knew that I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance? After that, I didn't know what happened. Then, my nephew and the others appeared and attracted the Imperial Army." Prince Zhong looked vexed.
This meant that he was definitely not the one who was scheming. It just happened that he was the one who was being schemed against.
Le Chengdi's brows were tightly knitted.
Prince Zhong suddenly became anxious. "Imperial brother, imperial brother, believe me. Everything I said is absolutely true. Although this Miss Ruan hasn't married into the family, she is still sixth nephew's woman in name. Even if I ate a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, I wouldn't dare to touch his woman. Believe me, I'm really innocent." He almost cried.
"Okay, shut up." Le Chengdi said irritably.
Noble Consort Su looked at Prince Zhong with an even worse expression. At that time, Sun Yijia was Yuan 'er's prospective Wangfei. His son dared to have evil thoughts. Now, she was just a prospective Secondary Consort. Father and son were of the same origin. What did he not dare to do?
Le Chengdi's eyes fell on Ruan Fangfei, who kept her head down. "Ruan, what do you have to say?"
"Fangfei, Fangfei, what grievances do you have? Tell His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely make a decision for you. Fangfei, say something, Fangfei …" Madame Ruan shook Ruan Fangfei and cried uncontrollably.
After a long time, Ruan Fangfei slowly turned her head to look at her mother in a daze. "Say, say what? There's nothing to say."
"Fangfei," Madame Ruan hugged her. "Good daughter, don't be like this, don't be like this …"
Although Ruan Fangfei looked like this on the surface, in fact, her heart was unprecedentedly sober, very sober, including when she was scared to the point that she lost her mind. After this incident, she "recovered without any medicine". Perhaps it was similar to the saying that when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction.
In the middle of the night, her cousin from her maternal family came to find her. Because the people who served her, including her mother, all knew him and knew that they were close, they didn't stop him and couldn't stop him. He told her that he had been following the carriage. He said that he missed her so much that he almost went crazy. He had a lot to say to her. He was pulled down from the carriage and ordered the servants not to follow. He was a hooligan and his martial arts were very good. However, Ruan Fangfei didn't care and still trusted him. Not only did he know too many of her secrets and helped her do a lot of things that she couldn't do in person, but she knew that her condition wasn't very good. When it was quiet around her, the three heads appeared in front of her eyes. She needed to do something to distract herself. She knew the current situation. If she was discovered by others, her end would be very miserable. However, whether it was the fragrance on her cousin's body or his strong arms, it made her feel at ease. Therefore, everything went according to his wishes.
Even though there were many torches outside the carriages, he still brought her out. The haystack field next to the village, facing the carriages, was faintly visible under the light of the torches. However, once they entered, they basically couldn't see it.
What happened next would be her nightmare for the rest of her life …
However, Ruan Fangfei couldn't say anything. Although she didn't know the details of her mother's background, she knew that she had secrets, including her maternal family. Her cousin and her mother might be of the same origin. Her maternal family hadn't come to the capital for so many years, and those who came were secretly doing things. She didn't sacrifice herself for her mother, but rather, if her mother's matter was exposed, it was very likely that it would implicate the whole family. Perhaps, the whole family would be executed. She didn't want to throw her life away. Moreover, although her mother cared about her, if it involved the matters behind her, it was very likely that her mother wouldn't let her say a word that could threaten her. Her mother might even kill her first.
"Mother, let me die. I don't want to live anymore. Let me die …" Ruan Fangfei's tears streamed down. Taking advantage of her mother's inattention, she suddenly slapped her hand away, got up abruptly, and rushed towards a tree in the courtyard.
That tree wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was just that no one would stand under that tree for no reason, so Ruan Fangfei bumped into it head-on. Then, her body fell limply to the ground.
Ruan Ruizhong and his wife were stunned at first, but then they reacted. "Fangfei …" That mournful voice seemed to indicate that she was already a dead person.
Fortunately, although there were a lot of people in this village, it was still big enough. The neighbors lived relatively far away from each other. Otherwise, this voice would have alarmed the entire village. However, even so, the few families nearby would have heard it.
The husband and wife rolled and crawled over. They hugged the unconscious Ruan Fangfei and cried miserably.
Le Chengdi rubbed his suddenly swollen temples. "Call the imperial physician."
Because of Ruan Fangfei's strange fate of not being able to be the main wife of the imperial family, Le Chengdi didn't care at first, but he couldn't bear Imperial Consort Su's displeasure. With such a fate, there must be something wrong with this person. She was a good mother who doted on her son. She was worried that something wrong would harm her son, so she would whisper a few words in Le Chengdi's ear from time to time. Even if it wasn't intentional, after a long time, Le Chengdi's impression of Ruan Fangfei would also worsen. With this bad impression, good things would make him suspicious, and bad things would make him more evil. Ruan Fangfei's suicide attempt didn't make Le Chengdi pity her at all. If she really died, he probably wouldn't even frown.
Imperial Consort Su's face was even gloomier. She had seen this kind of little trick many times. There was clearly something wrong with this matter, but she refused to say it. She desperately wanted to avoid this matter. Wouldn't it make people suspect that she was a fickle woman who schemed against men? Where did she put her son? Where did she put the imperial family's face? If it wasn't the Emperor who spoke, she would never allow the imperial physician to be called. Little slut, it's best if you die. You're so disgusting!
Li Hongyuan looked on coldly from the sidelines. He could clearly see that Ruan Fangfei had bumped into the tree trunk fiercely. In the end, when she was about to hit the tree trunk, she deliberately shifted her position. He was sure that Ruan Fangfei wouldn't die.
He only gave the order and didn't know the specific situation. However, it didn't matter. In any case, he had already distanced himself from this matter. Moreover, it was good that she was so tenacious. He wanted to see how long she could last.
Then, his gaze shifted to the woman who was hugging her. Now, this woman was already suspicious. However, it was because of this that she was even more afraid of taking action. After all, once her identity was exposed, she would definitely die without a burial place.
As for Li Hongyuan himself, because he didn't want to expose his power for the time being, he didn't kill her ruthlessly. However, even if he was really exposed, Li Hongyuan wasn't afraid. It was just that it would be troublesome to clean up the mess later. He might even implicate the bowls. The only one who could make him worry would always be Jingwan.
Moreover, this woman at most managed the Ruan family's backyard like an iron bucket. She didn't extend her hands too far. Ruan Ruizhong wasn't someone to be trifled with. If she really touched his forbidden area, he would immediately wake up. Without Ruan Ruizhong, this big tree, this woman would come to an end. As for those people in the capital, their movements were all under his control.
Therefore, in truth, even if there were some small loopholes, he was too lazy to fix them. These loopholes would be ignored or torn apart. The process would be complicated or simple, but the final result wouldn't change.
Li Hongyuan slowly stood up, "Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, this son will take his leave first."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it.
Le Chengdi looked at him, "How are you going to deal with this matter?"
Li Hongyuan glanced at his father, "Imperial Father's words are strange. Naturally, I'll deal with it as it should be. Don't tell me this woman who has slept with countless men still needs this son to carry her back to the residence?"
The corner of Le Chengdi's mouth twitched, "Don't talk nonsense with this old man. If it's that simple, why would I call you here?"
Li Hongyuan smiled sarcastically, "This son's face has already been ruined eight or ten times. At most, the scope of my curse has expanded, and even my concubines have been cursed. The Grand Secretary is your trusted aide, so this son still has to give him face. Ruan Fangfei has nothing to do with this son anymore. As for the rest, Imperial Father can deal with it as it should be. "
"Yuan 'er, don't talk nonsense. This time, it has nothing to do with you at all." Imperial Concubine Su's gaze was like a knife stabbing at Ruan Fangfei. Especially when she saw that she was showing signs of waking up with a groan, she couldn't wait to go up and strangle her to death. "It's also because of your good nature that you didn't bicker with her. Otherwise, even if she was drowned in the river, she deserved it."
Ruan Fangfei had indeed woken up. She had a terrible headache, felt dizzy and heavy, and felt nauseous. Although she wanted to avoid a direct death, in order to make it look real, she naturally couldn't hit her too lightly.
Ruan Fangfei grabbed her mother's arm tightly and forced herself to open her eyes. Her vision was blurry, but she stared at Li Hongyuan, "Li Hongyuan, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you …"
"Impudent, is Yuan 'er's name something you can call out directly? What, you still want to blame Yuan 'er for today's matter? Don't think that just because your father is the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, you can take yourself seriously. I gave you face, but you don't want it. "Imperial Concubine Su angrily scolded.
Ruan Ruizhong was also angry, but he could only tell Ruan Fangfei to "shut up" and then apologize to Imperial Concubine Su, "Imperial Concubine, please don't be angry. My daughter didn't mean it that way."
Imperial Concubine Su sneered, "I don't care what she means. It's fortunate that such a fickle woman didn't enter the family. Otherwise, wouldn't she have directly made my son wear a green hat today? As the saying goes, cultivate one's body, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. There's nothing to say about Lord Ruan being an official. However, it's better to put some effort into the family. Everyone says that you married a good wife, a virtuous wife and a loving mother, but in the end, you raised your daughter to be like this. As a daughter, she usually looks good in all aspects, but deep down, she's a lowly person. As a mother, she's dignified and virtuous. Perhaps she's the same kind of person deep down. "
"Imperial Concubine — —" Ruan Ruizhong's tone became harsher, "Imperial Concubine, please don't slander others. There must be a hidden story about my daughter's matter."
"Hidden story? Of course there is. The hidden story is that she's naturally dissolute and seduced men in her boudoir. "
"Imperial Concubine — —"
"Could it not be? If she didn't run out on her own, would she be at the haystack? Don't say that she was schemed against and was taken away by others. How many servants in your Ruan Family say that they're vegetarians? Even if she was schemed against, with so many people, why was it only her who got into trouble every time? In the end, isn't it because there's something wrong with her? "
Ruan Fangfei refused to defend herself, and Ruan Ruizhong was rendered speechless by Imperial Concubine Su.
Le Chengdi coughed lightly, "Beloved concubine, that's enough."
Le Chengdi was simply giving advice after Imperial Concubine Su had finished speaking. It was so stifling that it made one's heart, liver, and lungs hurt.
"Zhongqing, go to the Ruan Family and ask if it's the same as before."
"Replying to Your Majesty, this subject has made the decision without authorization. I've already asked. There's nothing unusual with the Ruan Family." Yu Zhongqing, who was guarding the courtyard door like a guardian, immediately responded.
Well, previously, Ruan Fangfei was frightened and three people were drugged. However, since then, there was no one who left her side, but there was nothing unusual. Le Chengdi couldn't help but suspect that his beloved concubine's deduction was correct.
It was already hot, and Ruan Ruizhong was sweating profusely. He wanted to ask Ruan Fangfei again, but unfortunately, he fainted again.
"Master, can you let it go first? Save her first, save her first …" Madame Ruan pressed a handkerchief to her forehead and pleaded.
"Yes, yes, the imperial physician. Where's the imperial physician?"
The imperial physician had actually already arrived and was huddled at the courtyard door. When he heard Ruan Ruizhong's voice, he hurriedly came in and greeted Le Chengdi and Imperial Concubine Su. "Okay, quickly go take a look."
The scene fell into silence again.
"This son will take his leave." Li Hongyuan spoke again. Without waiting for Le Chengdi's response, he directly lifted his feet and left.
Le Chengdi didn't ask him to stay. He turned to look at Imperial Concubine Su, "Beloved concubine Ruo, why don't you rest first?"
"Wait a little longer. Your Majesty, since Miss Ruan is unwilling to tell the truth, we can't use torture on her. Let's not talk about the cause of the incident. So many people saw what happened between her and Prince Zhong. It's better to deal with it as soon as possible. My poor Yuan 'er clearly didn't do anything, but he was inexplicably implicated again and again. "As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry.
Not to mention others, even Le Chengdi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. That evil creature was pitiful? And before, what did she say that he had a good temper? If he was pitiful, then there was no one in the world who wasn't pitiful. If he had a good temper, then there was no one in the world with a bad temper. However, Ruan Ruizhong and his wife, as well as Prince Zhong and the others, all looked at Le Chengdi.
Le Chengdi pondered for a moment, "Beloved Official Ruan has been loyal to me and worked hard for Qi Yuan. I can't bear to see his good reputation ruined. Imperial Brother, you don't have a wife now. You should marry this daughter of the Ruan family."
"This subject obeys." Prince Zhong always knew what to do in front of Le Chengdi.
Imperial Concubine Su slightly lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. Ruan Ruan had ruined her son's reputation, yet he still wanted to retreat unscathed and become a Prince Consort? Not only did he not trample on Ruan Ruan, but he also raised her status and made her a senior instead of a concubine? It wasn't so beautiful even in her dreams. She leaned closer to Le Chengdi, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the order that Master Liaochen gave to Miss Ruan?"
With this reminder, Le Chengdi suddenly came to his senses, "Thank you for reminding me." So, he turned his head and changed his words, "The daughter of the Ruan family is impure after all. She should be a concubine."
Ruan Ruizhong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. In his opinion, it was obvious that Noble Consort Su was playing tricks. Obviously, she had forgotten that Li Hongyuan had told him about Ruan Fangfei's fate. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
It was fortunate that Jingwan was not present. Otherwise, she would have asked the Grand Secretary of the Inner Court to gauge the extent of the trauma in his heart and ask him if he would still be loyal to Le Chengdi after the way Le Chengdi treated him. Although thunder and rain were the grace of the emperor, after he gave his heart and soul in exchange for the emperor's thunder, would he really have no complaints in his heart?
When Ruan Ruizhong thanked the emperor, at least his heart was not calm. Was he targeting Le Chengdi? Noble Consort Su? Or Li Hongyuan?
Moreover, if Le Chengdi handled it like this, wouldn't it ruin Ruan Ruizhong's reputation?
It wasn't a clever cover-up in the first place. It was equivalent to not having any cover-up at all. If Jin Qinwang was involved, hehe, trying to cover up would only make it more conspicuous. How about this!
Le Chengdi also felt tired and told them to do what they were told to do. After Ruan Fangfei woke up, if she wanted to talk, then she would talk. If she didn't want to talk, then she wouldn't talk. Le Chengdi also didn't have the patience to pay attention to him. He only told Yu Zhongqing to strengthen the defense and patrols. Every family also couldn't lower their guard. This journey was really not peaceful. The following matters were also handed over to Yu Zhongqing to wrap up.
Even if Li Zheng heard something that he shouldn't have heard, to have given birth to such a shameless daughter, he himself also lost enough face. As long as he was smart, he would restrain his family members and not go outside to talk nonsense. It should be known that as a common person, if they were caught criticizing the Imperial Family, it would be a serious crime.
Li Hongyuan returned to his own Qinwang carriage. "An Yi."
An Yi quietly went up and knelt on one knee in front of Li Hongyuan. He softly reported the matter.
The bridge on the road was broken by them. This was within Li Hongyuan's expectations. He also knew about Ruan Fangfei's cousin, "Since I said to bite back, then bite back. Keep the person, it will be useful."
It was just that the appearance of Qinwang Zhong was really unexpected. Ruan Fangfei's decisive choice was indeed her style.
"There can't be any more mistakes on Wan Wan's side."
"Master, rest assured. Because Luo Daren and Old Madam Luo already know about Master's matter, when they were in the capital, they had already sent guards to the Luo Family. Miss Luo has always been surrounded by people to protect her. There won't be any problems."
"En." Li Hongyuan closed his eyes, "Go down."
