The attendant turned around, and Concubine Rong, who had come to snatch the potted plant, missed her and almost fell to her feet.
"My dear, my dear, are you okay?"
Concubine Rong became so angry that she slapped the palace maid who stepped forward to help her in the face.
"If you leave that potted plant for me, whoever dares to disobey the order will be punished by me."
The palace people were in a dilemma. Even if they disobeyed Concubine Rong's orders, they would not survive, so they had to bite the bullet and go forward.
"Someone is coming!"
However, Chu Yunxi shouted outside the palace, and the attendant who was originally waiting outside threw the Concubine Rong's guard who was blocking the way three meters away into the palace.
"Whoever dares to snatch this potted plant today will have their hands cut off!"
"Yes, Crown Princess!"
Chu Yunxi's words still echoed in everyone's hearts, and the resounding responses from the attendants made their hearts tremble again.
Chu Yunxi looked at Concubine Rong with sharp eyes.
"Including Master!"
Concubine Rong was shocked. She didn't expect that Chu Yunxi would dare to treat her, the empress of the harem, like this, and she suddenly started crying.
"Oh my God, I don't want to live anymore. I was forced to do this by a junior, so I might as well die. Your Majesty, please get well soon, otherwise we in the harem will have no way to survive!"
Concubine Rong's words were all accusing Chu Yunxi and his subordinates of committing crimes, bullying their elders, forcing the emperor's concubines, and taking the opportunity to control the harem.
Chu Yunxi only looked at it coldly, without even the slightest hint of emotion.
"Crying, making trouble, and hanging herself are the actions of an ignorant woman. Concubine Rong should still keep her tears and show them to the third prince."
After Chu Yunxi said this, he took his attendants and walked out.
After being reminded by Chu Yunxi, Concubine Rong remembered her situation. It was not just the face battle in front of her, but also her son's life.
Concubine Rong quickly got up and stopped Chu Yunxi again.
"Chu Yunxi, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I want a truth! A reason! A reason for me to let you go!"
Chu Yunxi shouted loudly, and Concubine Rong's body was trembling a little. Nothing was as important as her son's life.
After a long confrontation, Concubine Rong finally calmed down her voice.
"Everyone, please go down. The Crown Princess and I will have a chat alone."
"You guys also go down first."
Chu Yunxi ordered his attendants.
"Princess."
The attendants were afraid that Concubine Rong would do something wrong again and hurt Chu Yunxi.
"It doesn't matter. If something happens to me in Concubine Rong's palace, you can avenge me. Remember, you must eradicate the root cause!"
"Yes, Crown Princess!"
The attendants obeyed the order and retreated.
Concubine Rong was so angry at Chu Yunxi's words that her chest swelled and hurt. What does it mean to eradicate the roots? She must bring the third prince with her, right?
Concubine Rong looked at Chu Yunxi unkindly, then suddenly turned her eyes and thought of something.
"Why didn't you go to the emperor to expose me? You have no evidence to prove that those things came out of the potted plants, so you threatened me with the third prince and asked me to plead guilty and compromise?"
Chu Yunxi said calmly:
"The emperor is currently resting. Whether as a citizen of Yunxiao Kingdom or as the emperor's future daughter-in-law, I hope that the emperor can recover as soon as possible. I don't want to disturb Shengting with such dirty things."
Concubine Rong feels more at peace now. She thinks that Chu Yunxi really has no evidence and wants to resolve the matter privately, so she still has a way to survive.
"Oh, that sounds nice. I'm afraid that if you have evidence, you won't care about disturbing the Holy Spirit."
"Concubine Rong, don't you think it is too narrow-minded to judge others by oneself?"
Chu Yunxi found a chair and sat down by herself. Concubine Rong frowned, but she knew that it was not time to care about these details, so she could only go back to the upper position and sit down.
Chu Yunxi straightened his clothes.
"The reason why I came to see Concubine Rong is not to give Concubine Rong a chance, but to give the Third Prince a chance. After all, the Third Prince and His Royal Highness are blood brothers. If it is because of his stupid mother, he will
, having to be the enemy of the East Palace, how unjust do you think the third prince must be?"
Chu Yunxi's words were already very rude. She thought about it carefully. Now that the palace was heavily guarded, it was almost impossible for the third prince to send this potted plant in when he could not enter the palace.
Then there is only one possibility left: Concubine Rong colluded with the ministers of the previous dynasty.
If she reported this matter directly to the emperor, Concubine Rong would definitely be dealt with. The third prince might be implicated, maybe not, but the third prince would definitely hate Concubine Rong and go to the East Palace because of Concubine Rong's death.
She didn't want to be an enemy of the third prince even more than Concubine Rong. After all, a prince could do more than a concubine in the harem.
Concubine Rong was feeling proud one moment, thinking that Chu Yunxi was just bluffing, but the next moment, her heart skipped a beat.
The third prince was very filial to her. If she died because of the East Palace, what Chu Yunxi said might really happen.
The prince is not dead yet. If the prince recovers, how can her son be the opponent of the prince, the god of war?
Concubine Rong felt scared for a while. She almost harmed her son. She should be more careful and ensure that she hit the target with one strike.
"Concubine Rong, His Highness the Crown Prince is more important to me than my life. I will not let anyone who will endanger His Highness the Crown Prince's life be ignored. If you are stubborn, let the third prince taste his mother's concubine.
It’s a means.”
Chu Yunxi seemed to see what she was thinking and threatened her.
"No, don't."
Concubine Rong was finally afraid and held on to the handrail tightly. Chu Yunxi, a bitch, didn't take the right path. No matter what the evidence was, if someone offended her, she would take back an inch.
Everyone has their weaknesses, and the third prince is her weakness. Concubine Rong paused and asked:
"If I tell you, can you let my son go?"
"That depends on whether the third prince is involved in this matter."
Chu Yunxi's expression was serious. If the third prince had evil intentions like his mother and concubine, she wouldn't mind if the two of them solved it together.
"No, absolutely not, I swear to God."
Concubine Rong raised three fingers.
"If the third prince is involved in this matter, let him die without his body intact."
In order for Chu Yunxi to believe her, Concubine Rong finally said the cruel words out of her mouth. Fortunately, her son did not know about it and the oath would not come true.
"Okay." Chu Yunxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Rong dared to say such an oath, which shows that the third prince is true and has nothing to do with the murder of Jun Lingyun.
"Then Concubine Rong, are you willing to tell the truth?"
Concubine Rong tightened her handkerchief. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if she betrayed Duke Xiao, but Chu Yunxi was right in front of her, holding her son's life in his hands, so she had no choice.
As a mother, you would rather die yourself than see your child hurt in the slightest.
"Can you promise me to protect the third prince from murderous hands?"
Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes and already had a guess in her mind.
"Okay, I promise you that as long as the third prince has no different intentions, His Highness the Crown Prince and I will treat the third prince well and do our best to protect him."
Concubine Rong finally exhaled, swallowed, and said:
