Grandmother reprimanded him and pleaded guilty to being punished.

The king came in fear of honor, but his son was afraid of begging for it.

In the empress dowager's palace of mercy, Rong'er knelt in the middle of the floor with the empress dowager, empress dowager, and Imperial Concubine Yi sitting on top. Rong'er smiled wryly to himself as he thought that it had been a long time since anyone had paid so much attention to her.

”Esteemed wife, this one is not without feelings. This one knows that you and Wang Jingzhi have a good relationship, but no matter how close your relationship is, the rules of the palace cannot be ignored. Amongst the later concubines, you were considered the first to enter the palace, don't you understand?” the Empress Dowager asked reproachfully.

”Furthermore, she even changed the clothes of a eunuch. How proper is this? How would the imperial concubine make the outsiders think of her?” The empress dowager scolded in dissatisfaction.

”Chenqie knows her wrongs.” Rong'er didn't refute her as he lowered his head and said softly.

”The empress dowager, empress dowager, and concubine were also worried and respectful, but paid attention to their feelings. Considering her crimes, I hope you can take it lightly.” The Imperial Concubine Yi hurriedly advised.

The empress dowager sighed, ”My concubine, you've been in the palace for more than ten years, and you've experienced all sorts of things. You've also given birth to a prince and his daughter, and the previous year the emperor said that he would take you in as his concubine and confer you the title of the emperor's concubine, and that would be the greatest of all concubines. With your background, it would be a great favor for you, and this one has always thought of you as a sensible woman who knows what etiquette and rules are.

Hearing the empress dowager's painful words, Rong'er bent over and kowtowed. ”This concubine has lost all trust in the empress dowager, empress dowager, and emperor.” She had done it wrong, but if she was given another chance to do it again, she would still do it. People talk about feelings, and when they think about things with feelings, they forget their reason and their rules.

There was a momentary silence in the palace. Suddenly, the voice of a consultant came from outside. ”The emperor has arrived.”

Following the shout, Xuan Ye walked in. Rong'er raised her head to look at him. It had been a long time since she had seen the emperor, but she hadn't imagined that this would be the case.

Xuan Ye quickly glanced at Rong'er who was kneeling on the ground. He smiled at the empress dowager and the empress dowager and said, ”Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Mother, I heard that Imperial Concubine had obeyed the imperial imperial decree, so I came to take a look.

The empress dowager nodded. ”That's right, This Dowager, Her Majesty and the Imperial Concubine Yi are currently interrogating.”

”Oh, what's going on? ”Can you tell this to grandchild?” Xuan Ye sat down and asked.

”Imperial Concubine Yi, tell the emperor about it.” The empress dowager chose Imperial Concubine Yi.

”Yes.” The Imperial Concubine Yi stood up and blessed Xuan Ye, saying, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, it's like this. Yesterday, chenqie went to look for Zhi Zhi, you know, the empress dowager sent a royal decree that other than chenqie, the rest of the imperial concubines are not allowed to see Zhi Zhi, who would have thought that chenqie would see Rongqie there, and …” The Imperial Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment before looking at the empress dowager, who was staring at her intently. She continued in a soft voice, ”Furthermore, she was wearing eunuch's clothes. All the palace people who were travelling with chenqie saw her.”

”Your majesty, this concubine was really outrageous this time. Furthermore, she admitted her own guilt.” Her Majesty replied.

Xuan Ye nodded and looked at Rong'er. ”Your concubine, do you know your crime?”
