Chapter 515 I will punish her personally
Everyone packed up and went to welcome the emperor. Yan Wan stood half a step behind Empress Fucha, looking fixedly in the direction of the palace gate.
When she saw the emperor entering the palace and saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, she smiled sincerely, gently and affectionately. Anyone who saw her knew that she was looking at the person she loved with her life.
Hongli's eyes softened and he quickened his pace.
He had been living a carefree life in the south of the Yangtze River, trying all kinds of things that should and shouldn't be played. After the excitement, he was left with only emptiness and loneliness.
After coming back this time, he has completely given up those boring but exciting ways of playing. Instead, he prefers warmth and misses Yan Wan and the queen in the palace more.
Now that he had met the Queen, she was still as gentle and virtuous as ever, and with tears in her eyes she said that he had lost weight.
And Yanwan looked at him with tender eyes and regarded him as indispensable in her life.
He thought to himself - with such a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Holding one in each hand, his eyes were full of smiles: "I have good news to tell you, Concubine Rong is pregnant!"
Empress Fucha and Yan Wan were both shocked - the emperor was living a dissolute life in Jiangnan, and if Concubine Rong got pregnant at this time, she would probably suffer a lot.
But both of them showed expressions of genuine surprise.
Empress Fucha asked worriedly, "No wonder I can't see her. Can her body still bear it?"
Yan Wan also frowned slightly: "She has always been weak, and I don't know how she will be after the long journey. Your Majesty, let's go back first, you take a rest, I will go and settle her down first and then come to pay my respects to you."
Hongli sighed at their virtues and said, "I feel at ease with you in the harem."
Following Yan Wan's wishes, he asked Yan Wan to settle Concubine Rong, while he took the Queen and other concubines to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was originally going to go on this southern tour, but before leaving, Yan Wan cried and said that she was weak and could not take care of the children. As the old lady was old and felt sorry for her grandchildren, she stayed.
Now that Hongli had returned to pay a visit, the empress dowager looked at the emperor, who had gained considerable weight, and with a gentle and loving expression on her face, she felt extremely disgusted in her heart.
When the previous emperor was alive, no matter how outrageous it was, it was just bringing back Lan Yi from the Rare Beast House. Even so, it was gossiped about by the women in the palace and the ministers outside.
The emperor was so good that even the prostitutes were implicated.
Brought it back!
If this isn't being blinded by greed, then what is it?
But she was indeed old and didn't like to be in charge of things. After all, the emperor himself didn't care about his reputation and health. The most she could do was to give him a reminder, but it was not good to slap him in the face.
She didn't want to go through the days of fighting and strife in the early years again.
"The emperor has lost weight, which shows that there are many political affairs in Jiangnan. However, no matter how diligent the emperor is in governing the country and loves the people, he still has to take care of his health."
Hongli's face turned red, knowing that the Empress Dowager had known about his affairs in Jiangnan, and he said ashamedly, "Yes, son, I know about it. It's my fault for making the Empress Dowager worry about it."
The Queen Mother saw that he was truly ashamed, so she stopped talking and left him to continue for a few more words before she began to look tired.
Hongli was tactful and took his women away.
After Aunt Fujia sent Hongli off, she came back and continued to massage the Empress Dowager's legs.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother asked, "Did you say that the Royal Concubine came to this palace and cried before...was it intentional?"
Aunt Fujia smiled and said, "No matter if it was intentional or not, it just happened to help you avoid the trouble, so that's a good thing."
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "You really like the Imperial Concubine."
Aunt Fujia was not afraid either, she smiled and said, "Those who sincerely treat the Queen Mother are good to me."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Go and deliver the black fox fur I got the other day to Yongshou Palace. This year's weather looks even colder than last year. Whether the Imperial Noble Consort makes clothes for herself or for Yongyan and the others, it's all good."
Aunt Fujia responded with a smile: "The Queen Mother really loves the Imperial Concubine and the Fifteenth Prince."
The Queen Mother snorted and started petting the cat.
At the same time, in Baoyue Tower, Concubine Rong dismissed everyone and said to Yan Wan, "You don't have to worry about me. This belly is fake."
Yan Wan: “…”
She looked at Concubine Rong in shock, having never expected this to happen.
This is even more outrageous than actually being happy.
Concubine Rong looked bored. "The Emperor is hanging out with those women, and playing around with Yao Chang, getting dirtier and dirtier... But he still has to remember me, and he always uses those new tricks he has learned to torture me!"
When she said this, her face became gloomy and angry, her eyes were full of hostility, her body was shaking with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Yan Wan felt the same way and felt the same anger rising in her heart.
If both parties are willing to do this, then of course it is fun no matter how excessive it is. But if the man is far more noble than the woman, and the woman cannot resist and can only obey, it may seem harmonious, but in fact, what is the difference between this and rape?
What's more, he has learned new tricks to bully people!
Tears rolled down Rong Guifei's cheeks. If it weren't for Yan Wan, she really wouldn't want to tell the shameful truth: "...Yao Changzai actually knew about this and came to ridicule me! I naturally wanted to let her know what it means to seek death! So she asked Lord Zhang for a prescription, and relying on her low menstrual flow, she pretended to have disturbed the fetus. The emperor then demoted her to a concubine and had Jinzhong torture her for two days and two nights."
But what if he was fined?
She is unhappy!
She asked Yan Wan in a trembling voice, "How long will it take? How long will it take?"
Yan Wan held her hand solemnly: "It won't be long, believe me."
She looked at Concubine Rong's belly and whispered, "Since this child doesn't exist, it should be put to good use."
Concubine Rong said in a deep voice: "Just frame Concubine Yao. The emperor won't kill her anyway."
Seeing the numbness in her eyes, Yan Wan knew that the emperor had really made her suffer.
No wonder the Emperor looked so nostalgic and tender, it turned out that not only was he physically exhausted and unable to play anymore, he also had completely offended Imperial Concubine Rong and knew he couldn't appease her anymore.
Yan Wan held Concubine Rong's hand and said softly, "Everything will be fine. I won't let you suffer in vain."
Concubine Rong nodded dejectedly and lowered her eyes.
Yan Wan looked at her with pity and said, "I will go back first. You just need to rest and recuperate. I will take care of everything. You can eat and sleep as you like... Xiang Jian, just remember one thing. It is not your fault that you dare not resist. If you can resist, I believe you will be the princess who is most willing to rush to the front line of the battlefield."
Concubine Rong trembled and rushed into the inner room quickly.
Yan Wan did not chase after her. She looked at her worriedly and walked out of the door. Even though she walked a long way away, she could still hear her muffled crying.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked her to go."
Chunchan heard Yanwan's murmur and whispered, "How can you disobey the emperor's order?"
Yan Wan stepped over the high threshold and looked back at the luxurious Baoyue Tower. She turned her head away with a cold look in her eyes: "Yao Changzai defied the palace rules, committed insubordination, and seduced the emperor to destroy his health. She should be punished! I will punish her personally!"
