”Royal Grandmother, who did you hear it from? I'm still investigating this matter, and I haven't found it. How do you know it's true?” ”I see.” Xuan Ye said softly.

The empress dowager waved the jade pendant in her hand. ”Your majesty, this humble one's eyes are blind. This shouldn't be something from our palace, right? This concubine brought a jade pendant with a lily engraved on it to enter the palace.

He had seen this jade pendant before, but he had never seen what was carved on it. He never thought that it would actually be carved on top of this pendant. ”Royal Grandmother, does Grandson know about this? How did you know?”

”Your Majesty, it isn't how This Dowager knows. It's the truth! This concubine has done something that disgraced our royal family, moreover, it has already caused a storm. What about it? ”Your majesty, do you think I should not know about this?” The empress dowager was a little angry as she raised her voice to ask.

”No, Royal Grandmother, please calm your anger. Your grandson only felt that it was strange.” Xuan Ye comforted him.

The empress dowager lightly stroked her forehead. ”This Empress Dowager has been dead for less than a year, and yet something like this has happened in this palace. The war in the south has finally stabilized, but things happened at home one after another!”

Grandmother, don't worry too much. Be careful of my health, I had intended to investigate this matter myself and did not want my grandmother and mother to worry too much. Grandmother, don't worry. Xuan Ye stepped forward and held the empress dowager's arm.

There's no need to trouble Your Majesty. This is a harem matter, let the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Yi investigate. Your Majesty, you've suffered greatly from this matter. It's all your fault that those blind servants chose such a person to enter the palace. The imperial family's face has been completely disgraced.” ”The empress dowager gave Wang Jingzhi a pained look. She had always felt that this concubine was very polite, gentle, and low-key. She had always liked her, but she had never thought that she would do such a harsh thing. It truly infuriated her.

”Ah?” Let mother and Imperial Concubine Yi go and investigate? ” Xuan Ye asked in surprise.

”En, you have been working hard on your country's affairs day and night, and the war in the south is not yet at an end.” En, you have been working hard on your country's affairs night and night, and the war in the south is still not at an end, and the matters in the imperial harem should be checked by us. The empress dowager sighed softly.

It was now known to all that for the sake of the dignity of an emperor and the dignity of the imperial family, he could not possibly spare her. He understood that when people were all paying attention to this matter, they had to make an example of it, and perhaps it was a good thing for the empress dowager to investigate it, at least so that he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of Rong'er. Thinking of this, Xuan Ye raised his head to look at the empress dowager and said, ”Then I'll have to trouble the empress.”

”Sigh!” Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will do their best to investigate. This way, no one in this harem will ever dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty again. ” Her Majesty nodded.

Xuan Ye nodded his head and looked at the kneeling concubine. Jingzhi raised his head and caught sight of Xuan Ye's eyes and they both looked away. Xuan Ye had an indescribable feeling that this woman was willing to ignore him, the emperor, for the sake of her so-called feelings. To submit. He admired this woman, so when Rong'er begged for mercy, he agreed to just drop the matter, because he would go and seek revenge. If he let her off today, his dignity as an emperor would be gone. Even in the outside world, a man of dignity wouldn't be able to endure the disloyalty of his woman, let alone a king like him.

Xuan Ye silently thought to himself. ”Consort, this is your life. Your life!”

Right, even though she had been strictly forbidden from entering the house and didn't understand the situation outside, looking at the expression on the empress dowager's face, she already knew what was going on right now. It was also good, whatever was coming would eventually come, and she suddenly felt relaxed, so relaxed that all the expectations and hopes she had for the past ten years, as well as pain, had become unimportant, because … She was about to be released.
