The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Xue Jinhua knelt on the ground with her head bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your servant greets you!"

At the same time, another gentle greeting came from the side: "Your Majesty, I greet you."

At this time, the emperor's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, which made people feel chilly.

His gaze first fell on Concubine Jing, then slowly moved to Xue Jinhua who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were sharp and deep.

When Concubine Jing noticed the emperor's displeased expression, her heart suddenly tightened and her originally calm face turned pale in an instant. She wondered to herself, could it be that the emperor had heard the conversation just now?

At this moment, the emperor raised his hand slightly and said in a cold tone: "My beloved concubine, please don't be polite. Miss Wen, please stand up as well."

After getting permission, Xue Jinhua stood up with his hands hanging down.

The emperor glanced at her nonchalantly, then turned his gaze back to Concubine Jing and asked with a half-smile, "I really didn't expect that Concubine Jing would summon the future Crown Princess today?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing's body trembled involuntarily, and she replied with forced calmness: "Your Majesty, please don't tease me. I just wanted to apologize to Miss Wen in person because of what happened to the third princess yesterday." After saying this, she secretly raised her eyes to observe the emperor's reaction.

"Oh? So, my beloved concubine has already apologized to Miss Wen?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face became more and more unpredictable, making it impossible to guess whether he was happy or angry at the moment.

Concubine Jing's heart suddenly sank, and she quickly explained: "In reply to the emperor, Miss Wen is sensible and magnanimous, and did not take this matter to heart with me. It is my narrow-mindedness that makes the emperor laugh."

After hearing these words, the emperor's tense face finally relaxed a little, and his expression eased a little.

He snorted and said, "In that case, let Miss Wen go back to the palace first. If she stays here for too long and becomes unwell or gets sick, I'm afraid the prince will come to me to complain and cause trouble again." After that, he waved his hand to signal Xue Jinhua that she could leave.

Concubine Jing's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. She could only nod awkwardly and said, "Everything is up to the emperor."

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "It is my fault. I will have someone escort Miss Wen out of the palace right away."

She just nodded slightly and gestured to the palace maid beside her.

The palace maid understood and said softly, "Miss Wen, please move this way."

Originally, Xue Jinhua had made up her mind to leave, but unexpectedly, the moment she turned around, her eyes inadvertently swept across Concubine Jing's body, and the jade pendant hanging around Concubine Jing's waist instantly attracted her attention.

At that moment, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the depths of Xue Jinhua's eyes, and her heart was filled with turbulent waves. An expression of disbelief appeared on her pretty face.

Because the jade pendant was exactly the same as the one her second brother had given her!

A thought flashed through her mind like lightning - could it be that this Concubine Jing was also from Wuyou Valley?

However, just as she was lost in thought, she discovered that the palace maid who was leading her was getting farther and farther away.

Helplessly, Xue Jinhua had to suppress her inner shock and confusion and quickly control her outward emotions.

After her figure disappeared, Concubine Jing said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't know why, but I always feel that the Miss Wen I saw today seems to be very different from six years ago."

The emperor smiled indifferently when he heard this and replied, "Master Wen has already explained that Miss Wen has been taking some special medicine in the countryside for many years, which is why her appearance has changed so drastically. I think it is not a rare thing."

Concubine Jing stared at the emperor, only to see that his expression was as calm as water.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Even though the current situation is different from six years ago, it is understandable."

"However... I heard an incredible news today. The second wife of the Zhao family, that is, the lady of the Jiang family, actually mistook Miss Wen for the first wife of the Zhao family who had long passed away... Your Majesty, tell me, isn't this strange?"

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and responded, "This matter is not so strange. I have met Madam Zhao several times in the past. To be fair, their faces do have some similarities. However, weren't their identities verified on the day they fell into the water? The mole is real. If you look at it carefully, you can find that Miss Wen and Madam Zhao are different after all."

At this point, the emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy, as if he was quite unhappy about this matter. "Forget it, forget it. Madam Zhao is already dead. If you bring these things up again, it will only add to the bad luck!"

Concubine Jing was always smart and intelligent. She noticed that the emperor was slightly angry, so she quickly opened her red lips and said softly, "Your Majesty is wise and what you said is absolutely right. Perhaps this is just a misunderstanding."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly to show his approval.

Concubine Jing was secretly delighted upon seeing this. Seeing that the emperor's mood was gradually improving, she took the opportunity to change the subject and began talking about the third princess.

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess..."

"The Third Princess's problem is entirely her own fault. She cannot blame anyone else! If she still cannot reflect on herself this time, I will never let her out easily." The Emperor's tone was firm, leaving no room for maneuver, and his attitude was resolute.

Such a tough stance made Concubine Jing feel nervous. The words that were about to come out of her mouth to plead for her daughter seemed to be choked by a fishbone in her throat, and she could no longer utter a word.

"Your Majesty is right. The Third Princess is indeed too naughty and willful. It's all my fault as a mother. I have been too indulgent and overly pampered her, and neglected to discipline her strictly. That's why she has become so wanton and unruly now."

"I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future and will never tolerate her." As she spoke, Concubine Jing slowly lowered her head, her pretty face filled with deep self-blame and guilt.

Seeing this, the emperor's tense expression finally relaxed a little, but between his tightly furrowed brows, one could still clearly sense the annoyance in his heart that had not yet dissipated.

He only sighed heavily and said helplessly, "My beloved concubine, how could you know that I have been exhausted and irritated by the many memorials about the third princess these days. Those ministers in the court who are proud of their achievements and take advantage of their seniority are like hungry wolves staring at their prey, eagerly hoping to seize this matter and make a fuss about it. Sigh... It's really a headache!"

Having said that, the emperor frowned, his face solemn, and he could not help but shake his head slowly. His sharp eyes shot straight at Concubine Jing, as if he wanted to see through her appearance to her true thoughts.

Then, the emperor said in a serious and solemn tone: "Therefore, the matter of the third princess must not be taken lightly, and must be handled with extreme caution and properly."

"This matter is of great importance. If it cannot be resolved smoothly and satisfactorily, even if I dote on her and show partiality to her in every way, I am afraid that I will not be able to ensure that she will be safe and sound."

"My beloved, you must understand the complicated interests involved."

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Jing was secretly shocked. She had originally been hoping for the best, thinking that this matter might not be as difficult and serious as she had imagined.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that things were much more complicated and serious than she had initially expected, and it was completely beyond her expectations.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Concubine Jing nodded slightly and responded softly.

She just coughed gently a few times, her voice sounded a little weak, which made people feel pity.

At this moment, those beautiful eyes were also filled with tears, like two crystal clear pearls, sparkling with a lovely light. The whole person looked even more pitiful and even more pitiful.

"emperor……"

Concubine Jing opened her red lips and called out to the almighty emperor in front of her with deep affection. She looked at him expectantly, thinking that the emperor would soften his heart and pity her as he had done in the past when he saw her so weak and helpless.

Unfortunately, times are different now. Although the emperor did feel soft-hearted for a moment, when he thought about the fact that the third princess's issue had not been properly resolved, coupled with the things mentioned in the memorials submitted by the ministers in the court recently, every single thing made him feel stressed and troubled.

He could only harden his heart and forcefully suppress the tenderness and sweetness in his heart, still keeping a stern face and his expression did not change at all.

"Princess Jing, if you have free time, please have a good chat with the Third Princess." The Emperor slowly raised his head, his eyes deep and solemn, and then said: "I still have many important things to deal with, so I will not sit here for long."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing's face stiffened slightly.

She knew that if she insisted on keeping the emperor now, not only would it be difficult to keep him, but it might even lead to some unnecessary disputes and unpleasantness.

So she quickly knelt down and saluted, saying: "I respectfully follow the emperor's will and send him off."

Although she was feeling resentful, Concubine Jing still behaved extremely docilely and modestly. She suppressed her anger and personally escorted the emperor to the palace gate.

Just as the emperor turned and left, his figure completely disappearing from sight, Concubine Jing's originally tender face instantly turned gloomy and extremely ugly.

She gritted her teeth and thought to herself: The Wen family is really powerful! No wonder the third princess fell and suffered a great loss in front of her.

This woman must be the famous eldest daughter of the Wen family in Beijing. Otherwise, how could the Wen family, who have always been low-key and secretive, openly display their powerful strength because of an impostor?

Just as Concubine Jing was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the maid beside her whisper, "Your Majesty, the third princess is here."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing frowned slightly, her eyes cast towards the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window, and she sighed softly, "It's come to this point, and she still hasn't realized where she went wrong? She just kept shouting that she was wronged... Now that she's caused such a big incident, she came to me for help."

"Over the years, she has been living a free and unfettered life, and her behavior has become more and more reckless. It can even be said that she is extremely arrogant..."

Concubine Jing gently waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Kyoto has been quite uneasy and turbulent recently. Let her restrain her temper for a while and be aggrieved for a while."

Then, she turned to look at the attendant beside her and said calmly, "Go and tell her that I am in trouble now and have no time to take care of her."

After that person left, Concubine Jing's originally calm face suddenly became solemn.

Thinking back to Miss Wen's fate, according to numerology, she should have been a person who had passed away long ago.

But the reality is so confusing and confusing.

"Someone come! Please quickly invite the Imperial Master to come for me!" Concubine Jing shouted loudly.

"Yes, your Majesty." A response came, and after a moment, a waiter hurried away.

Soon, the national teacher was invited here.
