Fu Yuheng looked at her with interest, as if he was considering the credibility of her words, but in fact he sneered in his heart. It was really difficult to make the harem more obedient!
"Concubine Qi, is there anything you want to explain?" Yu Guangjian found it a little funny to see her angry face. She was quite brave. She still had the mind to be angry even after being criticized like this.
"There's nothing to say." Li Ruotong simply gave up. Anyway, he already knew the whole story. If he wanted to blame her, no matter how much she defended herself, it would be useless.
"Sister, are you really colluding with Guard Lin?" Tuoba Min asked in surprise. She seemed to be hinting at something just now, but now she seemed to know nothing.
She glanced at her unhappily, "What a hypocrite." Then she kept silent, and just looked in the direction of Lin Feng, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Tuoba Min was a little angry when she heard her say that, but in front of Fu Yuheng, she could only look tearful and said, "Sister, how can you say that to me? I am just stating the truth."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she thought he would definitely blame Li Ruotong, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
"Enough!" Fu Yuheng shouted angrily. Both of them were still frightened and knelt down quickly.
In fact, both of them guessed that he would be angry, but they only guessed the beginning.
Tuoba Min was still sobbing slightly, but suddenly, he was stunned, his eyes widened, looking at the scene in surprise.
He actually walked up to Li Ruotong, helped her up, and then comforted her in a gentle voice: "My beloved concubine, you are frightened. It is my fault. If I had made everything clear at the beginning, you would not have been suspected by others without reason."
After he finished speaking, even the person involved did not come back to his senses. He just stared at him blankly with his lips slightly parted.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face? Or are you staring at me in a daze?" As he spoke, he blinked meaningfully.
Only then did Li Ruotong react, and then guessed that he was trying to help her out, "That's right, the emperor is rarely so gentle." She leaned lightly in his arms, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
This made Tuoba Min, who was kneeling beside her, so angry that her eyes turned red. The two men seemed to have forgotten her existence, and everything was beyond her expectations. What was going on
But in just a few breaths, Fu Yuheng turned his head and looked at her, "You always target my Concubine Qi, but what do you think of her?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a little anger leaking out. His whole body was full of momentum, which made people shudder, "Guard Lin was just passing some words to Concubine Qi on my behalf, so what? Do you have to report this to Concubine Min?"
There was an obvious accusation in her words, which made her shudder. "Your Majesty, I just heard the palace maids discussing this matter in the garden today, and I really saw Guard Lin there, so I misunderstood. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Oh?" Fu Yuheng raised his eyebrows. "So Concubine Min didn't know that the rumors spread by the palace maids could be heard? I don't know which palace maid it is. Why not bring her here for me to take a look? People who gossip like this cannot be allowed to stay in the palace." A cold look poured out from him.
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please forgive me this time. I won't believe in rumors anymore." She cursed the maid who told her the news. She didn't even find out the news, which put her in this situation. She didn't expect that if she didn't have the intention to harm others, she would never end up like this.
In the eyes of the two men, Tuoba Min staggered away, and his appearance seemed a bit funny.
"Remember to take care of the follow-up of today's incident." Fu Yuheng left a word and followed her away.
Li Ruotong was left standing there in a daze, but when she came to her senses, she could only look in his direction with gratitude.
Only then did Lin Feng dare to step forward. Don't mention how much self-blame he felt just now. If it weren't for what she had just told him, he would definitely have been unable to help but step forward and take all the blame. Fortunately, it seemed that Fu Yuheng had no intention of blaming him, which made him feel relieved.
"Are you okay?" Seeing her distracted look, he blamed himself even more in his heart. It was all because of his impulsiveness that today happened.
Li Ruotong shook her head, said goodbye to her and went back to the house.
Shen Qingwan also heard the news from Lianyun, and was stunned, but then she smiled. She didn't expect that he, who was usually so suspicious, would come to the rescue for the two of them today. This was a little unlike his style, but maybe it was because the matter had been almost resolved and he was in a good mood!
"That Mongolian woman..." She frowned slightly and muttered to herself. From what she saw now, she was probably not a good person either.
Thinking about it in my mind, I went to bed early.
What she didn't expect was that while she was sleeping, she vaguely heard some movement beside the bed. She opened her eyes slightly, but vaguely saw a figure standing beside the bed, and she woke up all of a sudden.
Then he screamed, "Ah!" and subconsciously dodged, but as expected, he was stabbed in the shoulder.
The man seemed not to have expected that she would actually dodge, and was a little regretful that he did not take her life, but the sound of servants coming over could be heard outside the door, so he could not delay any longer and hurriedly climbed out of the window. However, before leaving, he still glared at Shen Qingwan with some reluctance.
At this time, Lianyun pushed the door open and shouted in panic, "Empress!"
Just now a palace maid came to call her, so she didn't pay much attention to it. It was only until she heard her voice that she hurried over. When she came in, she just saw the person leaving.
He pounced on her all of a sudden, and Shen Qingwan quickly stopped her movements, but even such a slight pull made her gasp.
"Lianyun, turn on the lamp." Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise her body would be lying here now.
The candlelight lit up, but it made her face even paler. It seemed that there was more than one person who wanted her life. She originally thought that once Fu Huaiyu and the Liu family were executed, she would be able to live in peace for a while, but she didn't expect that she would be killed again.
Who on earth wanted to kill her so badly
At this time, Fu Yuheng also rushed over after being informed by the palace maid, and saw that her body was stained with blood. Lianyun was beside her helping her stop the bleeding.
