Chapter 242 Beauty's Scheme (4)
Before Nie Shen'er finished speaking, the emperor's face had already turned dark: "Who said such a treasonous thing?"
"I don't know who that person is, but if I see him again, I will definitely recognize him." Nie Shen'er realized that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to tie herself to the princess's boat.
"Come on, your uncle and aunt will take you for a tour around the palace." Facing his niece whose hand was injured, the emperor's majesty suddenly erupted, and he was determined to find the thief and avenge his niece.
The news that the emperor, empress and Princess Anyang were touring the palace together spread quickly, and many ambitious women dressed up and went out, waiting to meet the emperor.
As for the princess and the queen, they were all ignored by them. The queen was a young girl and was mute, and the princess was also an outsider, so they didn't care about her at all.
Even Concubine Li, who often spoke ill of the Queen, thought so. She hurried to the palace road closest to the Pepper Room and just happened to meet a few people traveling.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty." Concubine Li only had the emperor in her eyes, and she selectively ignored everyone else.
When the emperor saw that it was his favorite Concubine Li, he also greeted her with a smile. At this time, Nie Shen'er spoke up: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Princess, it was this person who secretly slandered the Empress. All the bad things about the Empress in the palace are related to her."
Concubine Li didn't expect that someone would know about this, but she felt that the emperor doted on her and the queen was dumb, so she spoke fearlessly: "Your Majesty, I just said a few unpleasant words. The queen shouldn't be so petty as to let a palace maid reprimand me, right?"
"That's right," the emperor said dotingly, "Since she can't control her tongue, then forget it, Shen'er, pull out her tongue, take her to the Queen Mother's palace, and tell her everything."
"Yes." Nie Shen'er left happily. The emperor asked her to do such a dirty thing, which at least showed that the emperor treated her as his own.
Concubine Li was incredulous. Wasn't she the emperor's beloved concubine? How could this happen? What went wrong?
In fact, it was not Concubine Li's fault that she couldn't understand. The emperor was already feeling very guilty about Yan'er's words at the moment, and when he saw that Concubine Li dared to say that about Yan'er to her face, he naturally became furious.
When he thought that Concubine Li's confidence came from him, he felt even more guilty. He did such a thing on impulse. If it were normal times, he would at most punish the other party instead of sending her to the Queen Mother.
In fact, the emperor felt a little regretful at this moment, but since things had come to this point, he could only endure it. Looking at Yan'er's admiring eyes, his regret disappeared without a trace.
Dealing with Concubine Li made the emperor feel the benefits of power for the first time. However, his temper was hard to change, and he still had a long way to go before he could become an emperor that would satisfy Lu Zhi.
Shi Yi looked at Yan'er and smiled in his heart. If he were the emperor, these words would never reach Yan'er's ears. It seems that Liu Ying is still far behind.
In the afternoon, Nie Shen'er came back with a pale face: "Your Majesty, Queen, Concubine Li is dead. The Queen Mother found out that Concubine Li had an affair with the enemy country. Fortunately, the Emperor discovered it in time."
When the emperor heard this, the few remaining feelings of guilt disappeared without a trace. He felt that he was worthy of being the emperor for discovering this person in time, and even looked at Yan'er with fondness.
"Yan'er really helped uncle a lot"
Seeing that the two of them could get along normally, Shi Yi felt relieved. Lu Yuan took a lot of benefits in exchange for his protection of Yan'er, so it was reasonable for him to use the emperor to protect her.
As for why he didn't go directly to the emperor, Lu Yuan understood his younger brother. He was indecisive and sentimental. If he protected his Yan'er, he would be afraid that Yan'er would be bullied without knowing why.
Shi Yi was satisfied, but Lu Zhi was not very satisfied. What she wanted was for Liu Ying and Yan'er to get along as husband and wife, not for the emperor to be a good uncle as Nie Shen'er said.
"Go and ask the emperor and empress to come see me. No, ask Anyang to come." Lu Zhi felt that her daughter was more trouble-free and capable, and was more like a son.
She wished that the two could be switched immediately. Thinking that they were twins, a boy and a girl, and looked similar and had somewhat similar body shapes, Lu Zhi had a bold idea, but quickly stopped it.
