Chapter 134 Confession Bureau
"It's none of their business. They served well. If they are beaten with sticks, they will be replaced with new ones."
After hearing what Luo Yao said, Yongzheng's expression eased slightly.
"Since your master has pleaded for you, I will spare you this time. Please leave."
Several palace maids kowtowed and thanked the emperor repeatedly as if they had been pardoned, then retreated.
Yongzheng looked at her again, waiting for her to tell him why she was unhappy.
Luo Yao didn't intend to hide it. Everyone around her was arranged by him, and she would know it with just a little question.
This is a good opportunity to take advantage of this time to resolve the hidden danger in her identity.
If someone finds out later that she is the child of a traitor's daughter, it would be a huge disaster.
As Luo Yao thought about this, her expression turned sad.
I wanted to wipe away my tears, but when I blinked, no tears fell.
I could only lower my voice and said slowly:
"Today, I went to the Imperial Garden and met Concubine Wan."
Yongzheng frowned, "Did she embarrass you?"
Huanbi came from Suiyuxuan, and this cannot be changed.
There is a high possibility that the other party will use this to make things difficult for his beloved.
Yongzheng immediately issued an order to punish the other party.
However, Luo Yao held him tightly and did not let go, so Yongzheng decided to wait a little longer.
After all, his lover doesn't take much initiative.
"It's not that it's difficult, but... in addition to meeting Concubine Wan, Concubine Shen and Lady An also came.
The Concubine Shen said that I didn’t know how to be grateful, and that after becoming a mistress, I forgot the care that Concubine Wan had given me.”
Luo Yao also took the opportunity to put eye drops on Shen Meizhuang.
Yongzheng just listened quietly, patting her back with his big hands from time to time, acting as a qualified listener.
"Shen Meizhuang is even lower than you in rank, yet she dares to say that to you. I will issue an order to demote her to a concubine later, okay?"
Yongzheng didn't care who was right or wrong. If he offended someone he favored, even if he was right, he would be considered wrong.
Luo Yao looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Your Majesty is so kind to me~"
She liked this kind of blatant favoritism, and he would stand on her side no matter what.
However, in the eyes of others, Yongzheng was showing signs of becoming a tyrant.
The color makes the mind faint!
But then Luo Yao sighed and said faintly:
"If I were really just a maidservant beside Wan Chang, she would be right to say that. Unfortunately..."
"In fact, Wan Changzai is my half-sister."
Yongzheng was listening when he was suddenly stunned.
"She is your sister?"
He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
If Zhen Huan was her sister, why would she be a maid beside her?
Even if they are half-siblings, this can't happen. They are not different brothers or sisters.
"Yes, I am also the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, but he didn't dare to marry my mother. After my mother died, he brought me into the Zhen Mansion to be a maid."
Luo Yao gave a brief account of the incident, and did not hide the fact that her mother was the daughter of a criminal.
It is always better to confess voluntarily than to be investigated.
Yongzheng was silent for a while, shocked by Zhen Yuandao's outrageous move.
Even if she is the daughter of a criminal, you should not take her home. You can send her somewhere else to be raised by distant relatives.
If all else fails, just say that she is the orphan of a good friend you made outside and you can adopt her as your adopted daughter.
But he chose to be a maid, obviously not wanting to spend any more time and effort on his daughter.
Being a maid would not attract attention, nor would it shake his status and identity.
Zhen Yuandao is so cruel to his own flesh and blood. I'm afraid he is no longer useful.
Yongzheng's eyes were cold, he hugged Luo Yao again and said softly:
"Qingqing has suffered a lot over the years."
It would be fine if you didn't know your own life experience, but after knowing it, you still have to serve others as a maid.
That was a torment for her.
Luo Yao pursed her lips, her eyes a little moist.
"Your Majesty, don't you blame me for hiding my identity? My mother is the daughter of a criminal..."
Yongzheng interrupted her and said without hesitation:
"I don't care about that. On the contrary, I am very happy that you can be honest with me."
He even forgave his son, Zha Zha Long, and took him as his concubine even though someone tried to assassinate him.
To Yongzheng, the daughter of a guilty minister, she was naturally nothing.
Whether or not one is a criminal is just a matter of a word from the emperor.
Luo Yao finally smiled when she heard that. She wrapped her arms around his strong waist and buried her face in his arms.
Smelling the faint scent of ambergris, she said to herself:
"Your Majesty, I don't want to hide anything from you."
The corners of Yongzheng's mouth curled up, and some secret corners of his heart were filled with joy. He liked the other person's dependence on and closeness to him.
This made him feel that the other person was gradually belonging to him, both physically and mentally.
............................................
In the Suiyu Pavilion.
Shen Meizhuang didn't know that she was about to be demoted.
She was comforting Zhen Huan.
An Lingrong was not here, and there were only the two of them in the room.
Shen Meizhuang was still standing up for Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan just felt tired.
"Sister Mei, please stop talking. Huanbi didn't do anything wrong to me. It was me...it was the Zhen family who did something wrong to her..."
She had been holding this matter in her heart for a long time, and she couldn't help but speak it out.
Now that she really said it out loud, she just felt relieved.
Shen Meizhuang was confused.
"Huan'er, what do you mean? How can you say that the Zhen family has wronged her? Isn't she just a maid?"
Zhen Huan lowered her head, "Actually, Huanbi is my sister..."
Shen Meizhuang was confused.
Yikun Palace——
"Your Majesty, someone sent a message saying that they saw Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen arguing in the Imperial Garden."
Songzhi was delighted and told Nian Shilan all the news she had heard.
In the harem, every stone can speak, so what happened in the imperial garden spread quickly.
Nian Shilan was originally flipping through the account book out of boredom.
It is not an easy job for her to assist in managing the six palaces.
However, after hearing the news from Songzhi, she also became interested.
"So it's mainly because of Zhen Huan? I didn't realize Shen Meizhuang was so stupid and was used as a pawn so easily."
Concubine Hua laughed disdainfully and didn't believe in their so-called sisterhood at all.
Songzhi quickly agreed:
"Yes, Concubine Shen is obviously the highest-ranking among them, but it is Concubine Wan who makes the decision."
"Otherwise you'd say she's a fool."
Hua Fei said calmly, and then asked:
"Where is the emperor now? He's not with that bitch again!"
Songzhi lowered her head, knowing that the queen was going to be angry again.
"Yes...it is in Yongshou Palace."
After getting the definite answer, even though she was mentally prepared, Nian Shilan was still so angry that she smashed the teacup beside her.
"Snapped!"
"Where's Cao Qinmo? She's dead. How long will it take for her to come up with a plan?"
She scolded angrily, her almond-shaped eyes glaring with extreme sharpness.
I wish I could eat those people alive.
How long has it been since the emperor came to her Yiku Palace?
This can't go on!
"Go, call Lady Li to me."
