Chapter 240 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 29

Tao Ran's acting skills have improved.

"What does the emperor mean by this? Has the emperor remembered the wrong person?"

She was stunned for several breaths.

"Chen Concubine and Rong Jieyu have already established a mutual agreement, not to interfere with each other, and have nothing to do with each other. Concubine Chen's family has also made it clear long ago that they will not have anything to do with the Ji family. Concubine Chen has never been to Chuxiu Palace, and there are I haven't seen Rong Jieyu for more than a month." After saying that, Rong An ordered Ruyi to get the receipt...

The emperor was extremely irritable.

"Rong Jieyu! I want to interrogate her personally!" He darkened his eyes.

Everyone frowned again. Wasn't it Qiu Meiren who did something wrong? The emperor wants to interrogate Rong Jieyu?

What made everyone even more dissatisfied with the emperor was that at this time, the emperor's left and right arms were removed. He didn't care about his newly dismissed confidants. Instead of interceding for them, he only thought about a woman who fell in love with him?

This emperor...has no brain, right?

The concubine said coldly: "Since we want to interrogate, we simply summon Qiu Meiren together."

The emperor opened his mouth but never refused.

The elders were disappointed with the emperor, but after all, the emperor was chosen by the late emperor, and the veterans were not ready to give up on him completely. Several ministers who cared about life had no choice but to be patient and start to understand them...

However, the emperor was obviously not interested in preaching. He almost stared at the door and his attitude was too perfunctory, which made everyone even more dissatisfied.

Not long after, someone came from outside to report something urgent.

A trace of joy flashed across the emperor's face, while Tao Ran and the queen raised their eyebrows together and exchanged glances.

The visitor reported: "Rong Jieyu was walking halfway, and an assassin ran out of nowhere. He aimed at Rong Jieyu and chopped..."

The emperor's body had an obvious lean back, and his face was much looser. Well, Ji Rong is dead, and the only conclusive witness is gone. Who else can testify against his Qiuqiu?

"But fortunately..." The servant who reported the matter gasped heavily. "Fortunately, the defense was urgently increased not long ago, so the newly transferred chief of guards and Prince Ning worked together to prevent the assassination..."

"Can you speak?" The emperor was angry. "So what happened to Rong Jieyu?" Is she dead?

"I come to see the emperor." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a voice full of grievances reached his ears.

Isn't it Ji Rong who's coming?

The emperor looked her up and down.

This damn woman, damn her! Although she was helped in, it was obvious that the injury was from the previous fight in Chuxiu Palace.

Not only did the emperor wilt, but his entire face also turned very dark. Ji Rong is intact, so the people he sent out...

Sure enough, several men in black with their jaws removed were brought in.

"That's unreasonable!" Everyone was shocked.

It would be too arrogant to shout and kill directly in the palace.

Prince Ning stepped forward and said, "They all have poison sacs in their teeth. They came here with the intention of death."

Queen: "So these people are dead soldiers?"

Princess: "Who has such hatred against Rong Jieyu?"

Only then did Ji Rong realize how much work she had done.

She knelt down in fright and pointed at Ye Ruqiu, who had just been brought here: "It must be Beauty Qiu. I am only having trouble with Beauty Qiu in the palace, so please be aware of this!"

Idiot Ji Rong, until this moment, thought that the only one who could help her was the emperor. I still feel that the reason why she escaped from danger just now was because of good luck.

"Your Majesty, I discovered Qiu Meiren's scandal today, so Qiu Meiren became furious and ordered someone to assassinate me! I can swear that this matter has nothing to do with Qiu Meiren. I came with Qiu Meiren, But why are these men in black all here for me? Beauty Qiu is standing there, unprotected and unharmed. The only one who can do this is Beauty Qiu!"

Ji Rong was anxious to bite Ye Ruqiu, but naturally everyone would not be led away by her.

Who is Ye Ruqiu?

After today's scandal came out, the Ye family's background was completely exposed. If her family had that ability, would they still have to beg and rely on the concubine's family for many years?

Besides, this is the palace. If cats and dogs have no identities, how can they come in quietly? Still a dead soldier! There are not many people in the palace who can easily use dead soldiers!

Many people began to turn their attention to the emperor. Who said that his expression was so bad and he was still protecting Qiu Meiren just now? Could it be that the emperor did it for Ye Ruqiu, so...

Both the Queen and Tao Ran started to watch the show.

They had used Ji Rong before, so how could they not have thought that the best way for the emperor to protect Ye Ruqiu was to get rid of Ji Rong?

Of course, as the culprit Ji Rong, the emperor could not let him go.

So after the incident, the queen arranged for someone to go to Chuxiu Palace to secretly protect Ji Rong and watch over Ye Ruqiu.

Just now the emperor suddenly asked to summon Ji Rong, in fact they guessed that the emperor was going to take action.

With this awareness, how could the emperor's actions be successful?

Even though his men were attacking fiercely, they couldn't stop the opponent from taking precautions.

They failed in the sneak attack, but were captured alive because of the intervention of the Imperial Forest Army and Prince Ning who descended from the sky...

The emperor was about to faint with anger.

Did he really want to interrogate Ji Rong? He just wanted to deal with Ji Rong quietly on her way here. As long as Ji Rong is dead, Qiuqiu will be fine. Even if someone doubts him, there is no evidence, right?

The emperor had made a plan.

He originally planned to blame the assassin who had previously assassinated the imperial concubine. First the imperial concubine was assassinated, and then Ji Rong today. Since the two families were so close, he could lead the spearhead to the general's mansion and lead the person behind the killer to the queen...

But the imperial concubine had cut off her relationship with the Ji family. Not only did Ji Rong not die, but she still bit Ye Ruqiu to death. And the evidence about the Chen family that his people originally planned to stuff in Ji Rong's dead body failed...

What a complete failure today!

Ji Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, began to vividly describe what she saw and heard today. Compared with her speech in the afternoon, what she said at this moment was more vivid and specific, and it bit Ye Ruqiu to death...

The more she revealed the truth, the more Ye Ruqiu would die.

"Death!" the concubine said.

"No!" The emperor disobeyed the concubine again.

"Emperor, the royal family cannot afford to be embarrassed like this!"

"I am the emperor. If I say no, it won't do!"

"Your Majesty has gone too far!" The four ministers and Prince Heng spoke up at the same time. "Your Majesty, filial piety comes first! Watch your words!"

"Your Majesty..." The concubine's voice trembled. "The Emperor must not be confused. How can the Emperor ignore the dignity of the royal family for the sake of a mere woman?"

"Then do you think I am the emperor? I can't even protect a mere woman, so what kind of emperor am I?" The emperor became more and more excited, and directly protected Ye Ruqiu, looking around at everyone in the hall.

"The emperor has reached the point where he is willing to disobey all the elders for this woman?"

"If you regard me as the emperor, then leave Qiu Meiren's disposal to me. Otherwise, you will admit that I am just a puppet emperor!"

All the veterans gasped one after another, OK, OK, this is a direct threat!
