Chapter 359 Two Women in the Imperial Study
In the imperial study, Zheng Tianbao, who came to convey the message, bowed and left to send Chen Lingyi away according to the Emperor Tianqi's instructions.
As soon as Zheng Tianbao left, Concubine Bai knelt down heavily, regardless of her pregnancy.
"Before Hanyu died, she personally revealed this to me -
In Anruo Temple, it was Zhu Yan, who was beside Princess Qingyi, who found her and used threats and bribes to make her apply special herbs on her clothes, which attracted the green snake on the ginkgo tree.
Your Majesty, it turns out that Princess Qingyi wanted to harm your child with me. You must take charge of the heir to the throne!"
After Concubine Bai learned about this, she insisted on finding Emperor Tianqi and reporting Chen Lingyi, despite the obstruction of her personal maid Yinchuan.
But after arriving at the imperial study, Concubine Bai hesitated when she remembered Yinchuan's words of advice.
"I have been in the palace for many years. The emperor and Princess Qingyi are from the same mother and have a very close relationship. He will not listen to your one-sided words!"
But Chen Lingyi happened to appear outside the imperial study at this time. Concubine Bai felt that it was God's will. Just when she was cowardly and retreating in the imperial study, Chen Lingyi came to her door.
Isn't this God telling her to expose Chen Lingyi's evil deeds in front of the emperor so that the emperor will immediately punish Chen Lingyi outside the door?
So, Concubine Bai knelt on the ground cautiously and accused Chen Lingyi of trying to murder the royal heir in Anruo Temple.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up and helped up Concubine Bai, who was kneeling on the ground with a big belly.
"My beloved, you are in a very poor health right now, so the most urgent thing is to take good care of yourself and give birth to my son safely.
As for other things...don't think too much about them, it will not be good for you or the baby in your belly."
Emperor Tianqi had a very gentle look on his face. He was already handsome, and this made him look even more gentle. Concubine Bai actually forgot what she had just cried about and stared at him in a daze for a moment.
Soon, Concubine Bai came to her senses and immediately understood what Emperor Tianqi meant, and her face turned pale.
The emperor really didn't want to pursue Chen Lingyi, but Chen Lingyi wanted to harm the emperor's son!
A huge grief surged in her heart. For the first time, Concubine Bai decided to go against the Emperor Tianqi's wishes. She kowtowed heavily and pleaded again:
"Your Majesty, I admire you and I want to give birth to a prince for you. I beg you to severely punish Princess Qingyi!"
Emperor Tianqi let go of the hand that was on Concubine Bai and let her kneel on the ground with her big belly. He returned to the desk and sat down again.
"Hanyu is accusing Princess Qingyi, do you have any evidence?
Since you didn't bring it, you probably don't have it.
How can I punish him severely without any evidence?"
Concubine Bai raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Tianqi in disbelief. Emperor Tianqi's face and tone were equally cold.
Concubine Bai did not expect that the emperor would be so indifferent to her and the royal heir in order to protect Chen Lingyi.
She knew that the emperor liked her obedience and liked her to regard him as God, so her disobedience just now would make the emperor unhappy.
But when she saw with her own eyes that the emperor's attitude changed from gentle to indifferent, she was still so shocked, and felt as if she had done something very stupid, all along!
The reason why Chen Lingyi would harm her child was simply because he and she had been at odds for a long time. But it was precisely because Chen Lingyi's improper behavior had caused the emperor to lose face that he disliked Chen Lingyi!
In the game between her and Chen Lingyi, the emperor always stood on her side, making her mistakenly believe that the emperor cherished her and hated Chen Lingyi.
In the end, in the emperor's heart, Chen Lingyi was more important than his blood descendants!
Wouldn't it be a joke if I offended Chen Lingyi for the emperor's sake?
Concubine Bai stared at Emperor Tianqi infatuatedly. A huge sense of chill and absurdity rose in her heart, making her unable to calm down for a long time.
Emperor Tianqi looked at the woman on the ground who was pregnant with his child. Although he was still angry, he couldn't bear it.
"My beloved, please go down. Remember my words and take good care of yourself. Don't think too much, and don't make random comments or you will lose face for the royal family."
"Your Highness... obeys your order."
Outside the imperial study, because Emperor Tianqi didn't want to see his Chen Lingyi, when he saw Concubine Bai coming out with an embarrassed look on her face, his originally gloomy mood instantly became much better.
"What happened to Concubine Bai? She came out of the imperial study crying. Isn't that a bit... inappropriate?"
Concubine Bai subconsciously covered her belly. She glared at Chen Lingyi with red eyes, not hiding her disgust and hatred for Chen Lingyi.
“Whether I have behaved inappropriately is up to the Emperor to decide, and Princess Qingyi does not need to worry about it.
Princess, if you have time, you should worry more about yourself. After all, good and evil will be rewarded. If you do too many bad things, retribution will not be far away!"
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Lingyi to react, Concubine Bai turned and left.
It didn't matter that Concubine Bai left, but Zheng Tianbao, who witnessed her quarreling with Chen Lingyi, felt a little embarrassed.
It is a big taboo for a servant like him to see the masters bickering with each other!
Zheng Tianbao secretly glanced at Chen Lingyi, who looked worried, and complained in his heart. Seeing that Chen Lingyi's gloomy face showed no signs of relief, and she had no intention of leaving, Zheng Tianbao had to take a step back and said:
"Since the princess has something important to report to the emperor, I will pass it on to the princess. Please wait for a moment."
……
The second communication was successful and Chen Lingyi was called to the imperial study.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Emperor Tianqi did not speak.
"Qingyi, meet the emperor!"
Emperor Tianqi still didn't speak.
Chen Lingyi didn't know why Emperor Tianqi remained silent, so she gritted her teeth and knelt down.
"Qingyi has news about Commander Lin's death and wants to report it to His Majesty in person!"
Emperor Tianqi's eyelids twitched, "Get up!"
Chen Lingyi stood up and looked up, and saw Emperor Tianqi sitting behind the desk, looking at her coldly, and her heart tightened.
After a pause, she told Emperor Tianqi what she had prepared in her heart:
“Qingyi has inquired about the death of Commander Lin from various sources, and I am reporting this to you.
After the Emperor and the Queen Mother confined Luo Xiaoran to Fukang Palace, the Queen Mother wanted to put her in the Sky Prison mainly to prevent the Lin family from feeling that the punishment was too light and believing that the royal family was biased towards the future Princess of Yan.
As for the Queen, after learning of Commander Lin's death, she made a big fuss in Shoukang Palace. Her mother put her under house arrest in the name of recuperation and would not let her out of Kunning Palace for the time being.
The mistress of the Lin family outside the palace wanted to enter the palace, but was rejected by the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother told the Lin family to wait for the palace to find the murderer, and the Empress Dowager also meant the same thing.
But... the Lin family passed the message to Qingyi again, saying that no matter whether Luo Xiaoran was the murderer or not, the Lin family... would not let her go. "
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi's expressionless face finally showed a big change.
That's a, sneer!
