Chapter 309: Take this as your token of loyalty
Yan Wan bowed and looked up at Hongli: "I have no reason to protect Concubine Jia, but I have reason to uphold the strict palace rules and not allow anyone to trample on them. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Ruyi's face was full of sarcasm: "Others don't know about Concubine Ling, but I know it. You..."
Hongli ignored Ruyi and helped Yanwan up himself: "I know you are not trying to protect Concubine Jia. I believe you. You don't have to take Concubine Xian's words to heart."
Yan Wan smiled brilliantly: "I know that the emperor understands me!"
Of course, she wanted to protect Concubine Jia. She now had too positive an impression in front of the Emperor, but she really needed to do some shady things and she really needed a mad dog that would only listen to her orders.
Concubine Jia is very suitable.
Now, Concubine Jia has bitten Prince Yu in order to protect herself. It is obvious that she has turned her love into hatred for the man she was madly in love with.
She had already witnessed the coldness of that man, so she would naturally not be so foolish as to think that if she fell from grace again, the Yu family would still help her. Instead, she was afraid that they would soon send a prettier and younger lady from the Yu family to share her favor.
She couldn't rely on the emperor either, because he was already suspicious of her. She was not stupid. She had studied the emperor's preferences for nearly twenty years, so she could naturally see it.
Her sons would not be able to inherit the throne, and she and her sons could only rely on the sons of other concubines in the future.
With so many reasons, there is no reason for her not to choose to be a dog for me!
Yan Wan asked whether Hongli understood her, and also asked whether Concubine Jia understood her and whether she was willing to be her dog.
Concubine Jia was smart enough, she did understand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know that I have abused Your Majesty in the past, and I have had a grudge with Your Majesty for a long time, but Your Majesty is magnanimous, although she doesn't like me, she still gave me the opportunity to do things according to the palace rules.
"I have violated the palace rules this time. Even though I did it out of filial piety, I still broke the rules. I am willing to be punished! In addition to copying the book, please punish me as well, so that others will take me as a warning and dare not trample on the palace rules again!"
Ruyi was furious: "Your Majesty! There is something fishy going on between the two of them!"
Hongli has always claimed to be Yanwan's bedside man, and he understands Yanwan's disgust for everyone in Qixiang Palace better than anyone else, so he doesn't believe that Yanwan would collude with Concubine Jia.
He ignored Ruyi again and said to Concubine Jia in a deep voice, "Concubine Jia, you must think it over carefully. If you ask to atone for your sins, I will allow Yanwan to repay you in kind, which can be regarded as paying back some of the debt you owe her."
Concubine Jia trembled all over and gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I made a mistake. I am willing to be punished and I am willing to repay my debt! If one day is not enough, then one month. If one month is not enough, then one year. If one year is not enough, then five years.
I am willing to repay all that I owe to Concubine Ling without complaint, and I will never let this matter cause any waves in the palace and damage Concubine Ling's reputation!"
Hongli looked at her for a while, then turned to Yanwan and said, "Since she took the initiative to petition, you should give her five years."
Yan Wan said softly, "Your Majesty, I will never let a grudge go unpunished. Do you dislike me?"
Hongli's heavy and irritable mood was dispelled by her words, and he held her hand tightly: "Don't go out of line, I promise you will take revenge for any slight."
Yan Wan smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Hongli smiled and looked at Ruyi, who was full of resentment. He had gone through a lot of struggle physically and mentally, so he let go of Yanwan's hand, walked over and held Ruyi's hand, and said to Yanwan: "Take Concubine Jia back and teach her a lesson."
Ruyi looked away with a stern face, but her face was flushed, as if she was a shy and awkward little girl. She also looked at Yanwan with the side of her eyes, and she couldn't help but reveal a little pride and arrogance in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
Yan Wan treated her seductive eyes as shit, not only ignored them, but also asked her to stay away from them. She quickly called Concubine Jia and left with her people.
Ruyi: "..." Jealousy! Wei Yanwan must have been jealous to the point of madness, so she hurried away, fearing that the emperor would see her narrow-mindedness!
The extremely "jealous" Yan Wan didn't even look back and walked away, then she ran into Chun Chan and Wang Chan who were waiting at the intersection ahead.
She held Chunchan's hand and looked back at Concubine Jia.
Concubine Jia walked quickly forward, with her head lowered, and walked on the innermost side, pretending to be another maid of Yanwan with a humble look.
Wang Chan walked at the back, looking around warily.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for saving my life."
Yan Wan glanced at her with a half-smile: "I have a grudge against you, how could I possibly save you?"
Concubine Jia curled her lips and said, "If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have really been in trouble."
Yan Wan glanced at her and said, "Oh? Then I wonder, how do you want to repay me?"
Concubine Jia lowered her eyes and said, "I am now helpless and helpless. My only two wishes are that my children can grow up safely and become a rich and noble prince in the future. The second wish is that Concubine Xian die a miserable death and avenge my Zhenshu."
Yan Wan said, "Don't you want to go up any further?"
Jia Fei was reminded of the past by her words, and she smiled bitterly, "I don't know why I was so fooled by phlegm that I actually thought a foreign woman could be the mistress of the Qing Dynasty."
Perhaps, being addicted to love is like being blind. She doesn't know how to cherish what she already has, and ends up in this situation.
Fortunately, she finally woke up.
She lowered her eyes and said, "I am only going to live as a child in this life. I will just follow you quietly and do whatever you ask me to do."
Yan Wan chuckled, "I know what kind of person you are better than anyone else with this skill. Jin Yuyan, you are like a poisonous snake nesting in the bushes. You are the most patient and the most poisonous. Once you bite, it will definitely kill you."
Concubine Jia's eyelids trembled slightly: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Wan interrupted her, her pretty eyes full of calmness: "You don't need to explain. Since I know what kind of person you are, I still dare to use you. I am not afraid that you will bite my master one day."
Concubine Jia raised her eyes to look at Yan Wan, her beautiful face full of inquiry: "I underestimated you at the beginning."
Yan Wan smiled gently: "Jin Yuyan, you should think about it carefully. In the past thirty years of your life, have you ever done anything for your own happiness?"
She raised her eyebrows: "Now in this harem, I am here to protect you. As long as you are willing to obey, you can try what it means to act recklessly and what it means to go with the flow."
Concubine Jia's eyelids trembled, and she had to admit that she was tempted. Apart from the child and revenge, who wouldn't want to live a carefree life without fear of being plotted against and killed suddenly?
Her heartbeat quickened: "I, your humble concubine, will follow your Majesty's lead!!!"
Yan Wan looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Since you have accepted my invitation, you should tell me a big enough secret as a token of your acceptance."
