All the witnesses and dramas are hard to save, and Rong'er's heart is sad as he explores the truth.

A guilty conscience, spitting out the truth because of what he said.

Yesterday, Rong'er had sent word to Xuan Ye that he was going to see Xuan Ye. The counselor came over, and sent a message to Xuan Ye, saying that this matter had been handed over to the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Yi, telling Rong'er not to ask about it anymore and not to help out. The counselor secretly told her that the emperor seemed to have no intentions of saving his wife this time, and that Rong'er shouldn't have too much hope.

She was feeling extremely frustrated. She still couldn't sit still, and decided to go to the Imperial Concubine Yi to find out what was going on. Rong'er still had a big question in her mind, the emperor had already decided to give a lighter punishment for this matter. Who was the one who brought this matter to the empress dowager, and who knew the truth of this matter? According to the consultant, Liang Jiu Gonggong was the only one the emperor sent to investigate this matter. Only the emperor, Liang Jiu Gonggong, and the three of them knew about this matter in the Palace. He had asked Liang Jiu Gonggong specifically, and the emperor had also asked.

”My concubine, you're a rare guest.” Imperial Concubine Yi smiled faintly.

On the other hand, since the Imperial Concubine Yi was in charge of the imperial harem, there were many people who came to befriend her every day, and not many more than just her, so it was indeed a bit sudden for them to suddenly come today. Thinking about it, they did not intend to beat around the bush here, so he directly said, ”Imperial Concubine Yi, you know that I entered the palace in the same year as you, so I heard that you and the empress dowager have a deep relationship. I also heard that you and the empress dowager came to investigate the case, so I wanted to ask about it.”

”Oh, so that's how it is.” Imperial Concubine Yi gently nodded and slowly stood up. She took two steps and said, ”Esteemed wangfei, from my point of view, this case is considered complete evidence. She herself did not deny it, so … I'm afraid we'll die for sure. ”

”Huh?” Rong'er's heart tightened, and his voice trembled as he slowly asked, ”Dang …” Is there really no hope for us anymore? ”

Looking at Rong'er's expression, Imperial Concubine Yi suddenly lowered her head and said softly: ”It's very difficult, in fact … I truly did not expect this to happen. I did not do it intentionally, so I hope that you do not blame me. ”

Rong'er felt pain in his heart and shook his head lightly. ”Imperial Concubine Yi received the imperial concubine's imperial decree to subdue your concubine. Your concubine won't blame you.”

”No …” Imperial Concubine Yi looked up and said, ”It's not this, it's because …” The Imperial Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment before muttering, ”I subconsciously told it to the empress dowager while they were chatting. Who would've thought that the empress dowager told the empress dowager …”

”What?” Rong'er suddenly raised his head and looked at Imperial Concubine Yi, ”What did you say? You told Her Majesty? ”What did you tell Her Majesty?”

”A few days ago, when the concubines were chatting with me about you, we talked about the matter of the concubine and your confinement. No one knew why, but when we were chatting later on, the concubine said that she heard that the reason was because the concubine was disloyal to the emperor and had the jade pendant for a relationship with a man outside the palace. At that time, I felt that it was inconceivable, because the concubine was a real person, but I was curious about it. Imperial Concubine Yi looked at Rong'er.

Rong'er continued, ”I didn't expect the empress dowager to bring this matter to the empress dowager. The two elders thought this was a very serious matter for the imperial family, so they paid great attention.”

The Imperial Concubine Yi raised her head and said sincerely, ”Actually, I feel very uncomfortable. If my concubine is sentenced to death, I always felt that I was the one who harmed her, and it was all my fault for not keeping the door open with my words. But if she is truly disloyal to the emperor, then it is indeed her fault.”

”Did your concubine tell you?” Rong'er raised her eyebrows. ”How did she know?”
