The emperor was also stunned for a moment, his old face turned red, but fortunately he looked around and saw the top of his head, and promised Chu Yunxi not to have an attack, and then he wanted to get back to business.
After Chu Yunxi's reminder, the emperor's mind was as clear as a mirror.
Concubine Rong was shocked. She didn't expect that Chu Yunxi would dare to ask the emperor such words. It's strange that the emperor didn't suspect her if the paper on the window was broken.
Sure enough, I heard the emperor reprimanding Aunt Song.
"You naughty slave, if you don't tell the truth anymore, I will not only beat you to death today, but I will also punish all nine of your clans!"
The emperor knew that Concubine Rong would not identify herself, so he focused his torture on Aunt Song.
When Grandma Song heard that the Nine Clans were going to be killed, her three souls went to the Seven Souls. She thought of her lovely little grandson. Although she only saw her only a few times a year, she would hug her and never let go every time she met.
Seeing that the emperor was suspicious of Concubine Rong, even without her testimony, Concubine Rong would not be able to pass this test. Aunt Song glanced at Concubine Rong apologetically, and Concubine Rong's heart froze to the core.
Grandma Song's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. She is Concubine Rong. Her Majesty, Concubine Rong, must do this. I have tried to persuade and stop you, but I have no choice but to help others do evil. I beg the Emperor to spare my family."
After Concubine Rong heard what Nanny Song said, she went crazy and hit Nanny Song.
"How dare you betray the Lord and join forces with outsiders to frame me!"
She knew that Nanny Song beside her was her last line of defense. If Nanny Song confessed, her crime would be iron-clad and there was no way to deny it.
Grandma Song cried:
"Rongfei, please don't make the same mistake over and over again. Once you've lost your way, you'll know how to return."
"You're a traitor who's worse than a pig or a dog! How dare you say that! Let's see if I don't tear your mouth open!"
Concubine Rong was beating up Nanny Song, and the situation got out of hand for a while.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
The emperor shouted sharply, and Concubine Rong realized where she was and didn't dare to do it again. She turned her head to the side and saw the emperor looking at her belly in disgust.
"Okay, Concubine Rong, you are so good!"
In order to compete for favor and for the sake of heirs, she completely ignored the life and death of the emperor. He was her husband and her king! How dare she!
It was at this moment that Chaner was called in.
"My servant comes to see the Emperor."
"Are you Can'er? The concubine you reported to the East Palace?"
After interrogating Nanny Song, the emperor had already established the evidence of Concubine Rong's crime, so naturally he was kind to Can'er, who was the one who indirectly saved his life.
Although Can'er was scared, seeing Chu Yunxi on the side, she felt bold and tried to speak clearly.
"Back to the emperor, I am a slave. I have no intention of betraying my master. It's just that Concubine Rong never treats us palace servants as human beings. I already had two companions who disappeared for no reason after serving Concubine Rong.
I’m afraid, I’m afraid it’s going to be more bad than good.”
Chan'er slowly opened her sleeves again.
"Your Majesty, I really can't stand what Concubine Rong has done, so I will report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I know that I have committed the following crimes, and I ask the Emperor to punish me."
Even the imperial doctors who were used to seeing this couldn't help but look away. To treat a little girl so cruelly, they really didn't treat the palace people as human beings.
The emperor clenched his fists. He really didn't expect that Concubine Rong was so ruthless. It was not surprising that she would murder him.
"What's your fault? You saved me and deserve a reward. What reward do you want?"
Only when rewards and punishments are clear can you convince the public.
Concubine Rong knew something was wrong when she heard that the emperor wanted to reward Chan'er for reporting her.
"Your Majesty, how could you?"
"I told you to shut up!"
Concubine Rong could only hold back the words she didn't say.
The emperor looked at Can'er who was kneeling on the ground again. Can'er mustered up his courage.
"Your Majesty, slave, slave, I would like to serve the Crown Princess in her Fanghua Palace."
Chu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard this, and everyone else also admired Can'er.
Gold, silver, and jewelry are only temporary. If you don't have the skills, you can't keep your wealth in this palace. It's better to be with a good master. Good birds choose trees to live in.
The emperor raised his eyes and asked Chu Yunxi.
"What do you think, Crown Princess?"
Chu Yunxi nodded.
"Father, my daughter-in-law has verified Can'er's character. Since Can'er is willing, let her come to my daughter-in-law's palace."
"Okay, if you are successful in rescuing the driver, then it will be as you wish."
The emperor agreed, and even Concubine Rong could not stop it. Can'er kowtowed to the emperor and Chu Yunxi with some excitement.
"My servant thanks the Emperor and the Crown Princess."
The emperor looked at the shocked and angry Concubine Rong, who was the protagonist today.
"Come here! Confined Concubine Rong in her palace, guard her day and night, and let her give birth to the child! Beat Aunt Song to death with a stick!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just love you so much that I am jealous. Your Majesty..."
In the end, Concubine Rong did not say a word for Nanny Song. She only defended herself once more and was dragged away.
She was still secretly thankful in her heart that it was the child in her belly who saved her life.
Little did she know that in addition to being grounded, there were even more cruel orders waiting for her.
The emperor's face had calmed down, but his words made everyone take a breath.
"When Concubine Rong gives birth to a child, leave the mother and keep the child!"
Everyone was still shocked by the news, and the emperor had already rubbed his forehead and drove away.
"Before this, anyone who dares to disturb Concubine Rong's birth will be guilty of conspiring to kill the emperor's heir! Please step aside."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The emperor's meaning was understood by everyone present. He wanted to hide the news from Concubine Rong and let her give birth to the child properly.
Everyone bowed and carefully exited the emperor's palace, their hearts still shaking.
Leave the mother behind and keep the son! Concubine Rong has tortured herself to death, and there will be no more Concubine Rong in Yunxiao Kingdom.
I just pity the little prince, who will be born without a mother to protect him.
What Chu Yunxi was thinking about was whether the third prince would be resentful of the East Palace because of this incident and have inappropriate thoughts again.
But Concubine Rong has repeatedly acted like a monster and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. She is really a person who cannot be influenced. Staying here would be a greater disaster.
As for the Third Prince, we can only let nature take its course. I hope he can stay clear.
Doctor Zhang cupped his fists at Chu Yunxi.
"Princess, I will take my leave first."
Seeing this, the other imperial doctors hurriedly followed suit and saluted. The one in front of me used thunderous means to deal with Concubine Rong.
He and His Highness the Crown Prince truly complement each other and are a match made in heaven.
"You all worked hard."
Chu Yunxi said politely and smiled tacitly at Dr. Zhang. Then he looked at the timid Can'er behind him.
"let's go."
Chan'er was flattered, and she was extremely happy to be accepted by such a good master as the Crown Princess.
Xiao Lian came over and took Chan'er's hand to comfort her.
"Sister Chan'er, no one will bully you anymore. Our princess is the best mistress in the world. Don't be afraid, I will help you arrange it."
Can'er nodded with tears in her eyes, and Si Qi also looked at her and smiled slightly. It's great that another miserable person has emerged from the pit of fire.
Mr. Sikong is right. By following the Crown Princess, she will have the opportunity to personally participate and change the world.
When they returned to the East Palace, the sky had darkened, and Jun Lingyun was reviewing memorials. The emperor had been in low spirits these days, and as soon as he had to deal with matters, it fell on Jun Lingyun again.
Especially those cases where officials were killed, the emperor had already entrusted him with the investigation.
Therefore, Jun Lingyun was very busy these days, but when he saw Chu Yunxi coming back, he put down what he was holding and waved to Chu Yunxi.
