An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"who?"

Hearing Concubine Qi's exclamation, Prince Shen immediately became alert and strode over.

"Wait." Concubine Wan had already noticed something was wrong, and she stopped Prince Shen, "This is the palace, it's not good for Your Majesty to walk around without thinking, let me go and take a look."

Prince Shen also knew that the matter was serious, so he stopped. He told Concubine Wan to be careful, and stretched his neck to stare at the direction where the sound came from.

On this side, Jingtai and Lianqiao finally pulled Concubine Qi out of the snow and were busy cleaning the snow off her body.

"Mr. Qi, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Concubine Qi in such a miserable state, Concubine Wan was also a little shocked, but the next moment she realized that Concubine Qi might have heard the conversation between the two, and her expression changed immediately.

She managed to keep her face calm, but her heart was beating like a drum and almost jumping out of her mouth.

"Is it your turn to ask what I am doing?"

Concubine Qi was already unhappy about being in such an embarrassing state, and being seen in such a state by Concubine Wan, getting angry a few words was already a small matter.

According to her true thoughts, she wanted to stand up and pretend to fall, and then use her armor to poke out Concubine Wan's eyes.

"What? Seeing you fall under this tree, it's wrong for me to show concern for you?" Concubine Wan looked down at Concubine Qi, and her tone became a little aggressive because she was worried that her affair with Prince Shen would be discovered.

"You don't need to worry about me," Concubine Qi really rolled her eyes this time. She looked at Concubine Wan with disgust and raised her hand to fan her nose. "I'm worried about getting infected by someone like you if I stand too close to you."

Concubine Wan frowned, and she took another step forward, staring at Concubine Qi, "What on earth did you see just now?"

"What did you see?" Concubine Qi sneered. Jingtai took off his cloak, shook off the snow on it, and then put it on again.

She was shivering from the cold, her fingers tightly holding onto her cloak, but her attitude was still very sarcastic, "What did I see? You had an affair with Prince Shen behind the Emperor's back, and you're just as cheap as your sister."

"Filthy words are used in the palace. Lady Qi is really capable of this."

Concubine Wan simply ignored Concubine Qi's words. Prince Shen in the distance had already quietly walked away. At this time, only Concubine Wan and Concubine Qi and their group were left in the Imperial Garden.

"To treat someone like you, using foul language is already a gift. You've done a lot of vile things, and now you're pretending to be noble."

"Lady Qi, you should have evidence for what you say. If you slander me like this, don't blame me for being rude and reporting you to the emperor."

"Okay, let's go to the Yangxin Palace now and tell the emperor that you and Prince Shen have dismissed the people around you and are meeting in a corner of the Imperial Garden.

Tell the Emperor that you and Prince Shen were flirting with each other and shamelessly saying sarcastic poems to each other!"

There was nothing Concubine Wan could not understand after hearing this. Concubine Qi heard everything the two people said. If she made it known to the Emperor, she would definitely be in trouble.

But I can't let her be so arrogant and question me repeatedly, otherwise I won't be able to prove my innocence.

Concubine Wan almost gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Concubine Qi is really thoughtful, she actually knows exactly when Prince Shen entered the palace.

Now that Prince Shen is not in the Imperial Garden, how can you say that I met him and there was any fussing between us?

I think Lady Qi has been standing in this icy and snowy place for too long, and her head is dizzy from the cold, so she may have mistaken someone."

When Concubine Qi looked up, she found that Prince Shen had indeed disappeared. She stamped her feet in anger and turned around to curse Jingtai.

"You useless thing, why don't you keep an eye on Prince Shen!"

"This..." Jingtai didn't dare to speak because of being scolded. After all, she didn't notice when Prince Shen left.

She hurriedly looked at Lian Qiao, hoping to get the latter's help.

"My lady, it seems that Prince Shen fled upon hearing the noise. The servants were busy helping you up and had no chance to stop him."

This reason is reasonable, but Concubine Qi glared at Lian Qiao, then looked back at Concubine Wan, "It's obvious that you have something to hide, otherwise why would you run so fast? If I hadn't come at the right time, I'm afraid you would have been making love in this imperial garden and lost your mind!"

"You!" Concubine Wan's face turned pale with anger after being slandered by Concubine Qi. She was usually sharp-tongued, but at this moment she was so angry that she couldn't say anything.

"What do you mean, it seems that my guess was correct, this is what you were planning!

Zhen Yuwan, the emperor gave you this name because he thought you were gentle. But you just treat yourself as a vessel, trying your best to put everything into the bowl.

Prince Shen is the emperor's younger brother. Although you are only a noble, you can still be called a married woman. If you are a married woman and have an affair with someone, you will be thrown into a pig cage in the folk!

How can I allow you to be so presumptuous, even pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of me, and even questioning me."

The more Concubine Qi spoke, the more excited she became. She was no longer as cold as before. "This young lady and my two maids saw it clearly. Don't think you can escape. Let's go to the Yangxin Palace now and defend ourselves in front of the Emperor!"

"See it clearly? What did you see?" Concubine Wan laughed in anger. She did not explain at all, but questioned Concubine Qi, "They are both your maids. They will listen to whatever you say. They are not witnesses at all.

Moreover, the Prince Shen you mentioned is not here, so how can you say that I am here to meet him?"

"Lady Wan, you really open my eyes." Lady Qi's eyes widened, unable to believe that Lady Wan was lying with her eyes open. "It was obviously you who did it, how dare you not take responsibility for it?"

"I was just passing by the Imperial Garden and saw Lady Qi being crushed by the snow. I came over to show my concern but was slandered.

Since I entered the palace, I have never been slandered and wronged like this before. I must drag you to the emperor to refute it clearly. "

As they were talking, Concubine Wan turned around and tried to pull Concubine Qi to find the Emperor. Concubine Qi didn't even have time to react and was pulled forward two steps by Concubine Wan.

"You dare to deny it in front of everyone. Do you really think the emperor is a fool?"

"Since you are sure that the problem is mine, then come with me to argue before the Emperor." Concubine Wan snorted and pulled even tighter. Concubine Qi took two stumbling steps and then stood there, unwilling to move.

After all, according to her idea, Concubine Wan should have cried and begged her not to tell the emperor, so why was she not afraid at all and instead wanted to report her to the emperor?

But Concubine Qi was absolutely sure that she had not missed a single word, and what Concubine Wan and Prince Shen were discussing was their private affair.

But why is Concubine Wan so bold? She seems to be very confident.

The more Concubine Qi thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She shook off Concubine Wan's hand and looked her up and down in disbelief.

"Why, didn't you say you wanted to go before the Emperor? I promised to take you, but you hesitated.

Could it be that what happened today was planned in advance by you, Noble Qi, just to slander me?"

"Nonsense, go ahead. The three of us saw it clearly and we will definitely not let you escape."

Concubine Wan smiled and nodded, spreading her hands in a gesture of invitation.

Lianhua, who was standing by, had already quietly returned and whispered to Concubine Wan that Prince Shen had already left.

Concubine Wan nodded, and her pounding heart finally calmed down.

She looked at Concubine Qi in front of her, deliberately slowed down her pace and walked slowly, and kept tentatively lifting her foot to step on the ground to test, for fear that she would slip if she took a step.

Concubine Qi was angry and could not help urging them to walk faster. Concubine Wan only agreed verbally, but her pace did not change.

No matter how much Concubine Qi urged, it was of no use. She was so angry that she called Lian Qiao over, and together with Lianhua, they supported Concubine Wan and "helped" her to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as they entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, before Concubine Qi could say anything, Concubine Wan rushed to the emperor's side, tears instantly falling from her eyes, and she started to say that Concubine Qi had slandered her.

"Your Majesty, I was enjoying the snow in the Imperial Garden when I saw Concubine Qi being crushed by falling snow under a tree. I wanted to go over and help her so that she wouldn't catch a cold.

But I never thought that Concubine Qi would repay kindness with hatred, and she believed that I had an affair with the Prince of Shen whom I met by chance, and she even said dirty words, saying that I and the Prince of Shen would do something absurd in this icy and snowy place. "

The more Concubine Wan spoke, the more tears she shed. Concubine Qi tried to speak several times, but was interrupted by Concubine Wan's crying and had to force herself to speak back.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how I have offended Lady Qi to the point where she has used such a charge to slander me.

I would rather die than be accused of defiling the harem."

Concubine Wan cried so emotionally that not only Concubine Qi was stunned, but even the Emperor was frightened by her appearance. He could not believe that this was Concubine Wan's true appearance.

After all, her character is not so weak and can be bullied at all. She is even more resolute than her sister.

Therefore, her current appearance seemed a bit fake, and the emperor did not trust her immediately.

"Your Majesty, the truth is not what Concubine Wan said."

Concubine Qi was calm at this time, and even had the mood to glance at Concubine Wan, "I heard them say some sour words about the golden wind and jade dew meeting each other, and the two of them were entangled in a tug of war.

I originally wanted to remind the two of them to be polite, but I didn't expect an accident to happen and I was crushed by the falling snow from the tree.

When I looked again, Prince Shen had already run away in fear, leaving Concubine Wan alone.

This Concubine Wan wanted to turn the tables and even said that it was the concubine who set a trap and framed her.

Now she is running to you again, crying and confusing right and wrong. I and the two maids beside me have heard and seen it with our own ears and eyes, and there is absolutely no way we can wrongly accuse her."

Jingtai and Lianqiao, who were following Concubine Qi, nodded together, proving that what Concubine Qi said was true.

The emperor looked at Concubine Qi, then at Concubine Wan who was crying beside him, and he already had a general understanding of what had happened.

It is true that Concubine Wan met Prince Shen, and it is also true that Concubine Qi heard their conversation.

However, the content of this conversation needs to be considered.

Concubine Wan covered her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her eyes slightly and looked timidly at the emperor. She looked exactly like Rouze.

The emperor's heart was immediately shaken, and he blinked faster, "Lady Wan, what did the Prince of Shen tell you?"

"Your Majesty, do you really not trust me?"

Concubine Wan did not answer the question asked. She blinked her eyes, and the tears in her eyes seemed about to fall.

"Don't act so pitiful and make the emperor pity you."

Concubine Qi curled her lips and felt annoyed when she saw Concubine Wan's methods. After all, these were all tricks she had used too many times and the Emperor would definitely not be fooled.

Concubine Wan ignored him, and the Emperor also didn't even glance at Concubine Qi. The two of them stared at each other in silence, as if all the words were contained in their eyes.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Concubine Qi gritted her teeth and glared at Concubine Wan. She suppressed her anger and called the Emperor in the same soft voice.

It was a pity that she was just flirting with a blind man, and didn't even get a glance from the emperor. "Your Majesty..."

"You go down first. I will ask Concubine Wan about this matter in detail." The emperor still did not move his eyes away. He seemed to be concerned about the instructions, "Go back to Chuxiu Palace and have a rest. Change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but I don't feel cold now," Concubine Qi squatted down and saluted, but she didn't want to leave. Instead, she looked up at the emperor again, "My two maids are here, they can repeat everything they heard.

I also ask Your Majesty not to believe one-sided words and let them influence your final judgment.

At this time, the concubine and Concubine Wan are here, and the emperor can call Prince Shen to confront him face to face. Whether it is the concubine who slandered or the two of them really have an affair, we will know it by asking them. "

When Zhen Huan was in power, it was Concubine Qi who reported her affair. Now, Zhen Huan's sister was seen by Concubine Qi as well.

I don’t know if these two sisters owed Concubine Qi some debt in their previous life, which is why they exposed themselves to Concubine Qi when their hearts were moved.

Concubine Qi is a person who likes to make a big deal out of everything. Not only did she make Concubine Wan ashamed to face people, but she also made the Emperor lose all his face.

Therefore, when the emperor saw that Concubine Qi was about to make a fuss again and let everyone know about this embarrassing thing, he became even more displeased, even more so than when Concubine Wan had an affair with Prince Shen.

"...I understand everything. You can go back first."

The emperor patiently asked Concubine Qi to go back and rest again. The latter nodded reluctantly and walked away, looking back every few steps.

After the Yangxin Palace quieted down, Concubine Wan wiped her tears and sat back in her chair.

"How long has it been between you and Prince Shen?"

"Your Majesty, you...you don't believe me?"
