Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 185 I'm Sorry

Looking at Yan Wan lying on the ground and having her pulse checked by Zhang Yun, Hongli's face turned black.

"Step aside!"

Everyone quickly moved aside and knelt down.

Hongli walked quickly to Yanwan, picked her up and carried her directly into his bedroom.

Jinzhong quickly stood up and pulled Zhang Yun with him.

Zhang Yun quickly got up and followed Jinzhong into the bedroom.

As soon as Hongli put Yanwan down, Jinzhong and Zhang Yun were already kneeling three meters in front of the bed.

Hongli turned around and was about to shout for help, but when he saw the two of them kneeling so straight, he was stunned: "Hurry up and show Concubine Ling! ... What did you think of what you saw just now?"

Zhang Yun knelt down beside the bed and replied to Hongli: "Your Majesty, I will have to wait and see!"

Hongli's face looked frighteningly gloomy.

Jinzhong got up and hurriedly moved a chair to him so that he could see Yanwan up close.

Hongli sat down and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Li Yu quickly said: "Yes..."

Jin Zhongqiang spoke first, "Empress Ling Fei said she came to apologize, and when she arrived, she knelt at the entrance of the palace. I asked her to get up, but she refused, and said she had committed a serious crime. That's how she is now."

Li Yu heard that he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said and was still covering up for himself, and he felt a little relieved: "The emperor was too tired to review the memorials last night. The queen felt sorry for the emperor and refused to let the servants call you. She just said that she would wait until you wake up before talking."

Jinzhong hesitated for a moment and lowered his head quickly.

Hongli immediately knew that something was fishy, and looked at the others with a cold face: "Are you all saying the same thing?"

After a long while, an inconspicuous eunuch knelt down and crawled two steps: "Your Majesty, I saw that Eunuch Jinzhong went into the main hall several times and came out with a helpless look on his face."

The first one spoke, and the second one soon crawled out on his knees: "Empress Ling Fei doesn't look well. Imperial Doctor Zhang has examined her several times. Please get up, but she is very frightened and says that she has committed a serious sin. She dare not get up until you speak."

Hongli said coldly: "How long did she kneel?"

Li Yu said: "Not long..."

Hongli kicked him in the chest and said, "Jinzhong, you say it!"

Jinzhong prostrated himself: "Half an hour!"

Li Yu felt chest tightness and pain from being kicked, but he didn't dare to lie down. He rolled over and quickly got up and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's because the queen loves you so much that she didn't let the servants wake you up!"

Hongli was so angry that he laughed: "You really have a good job!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yun squeezed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling has been kneeling for too long and was frightened. She has a miscarriage. I'm afraid she will have to stay in bed for at least a month to take care of the baby. If she can't recover..."

Hongli scolded: "I don't want to hear the second possibility!"

Zhang Yun's face was solemn: "I understand. I will do my best!"

Hongli stared at Li Yu gloomily. Li Yu trembled and said that he believed what Concubine Ling said.

Yu Hu sighed in his heart and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, what the Queen needs most now is rest."

Hongli stared at Li Yu and said calmly, "I think you really can't tell who your master is, Jinzhong."

Jinzhong immediately knelt down before him and said, "Your servant is here."

Hongli said in a deep voice: "From today on, you will take over Li Yu's position as the chief steward in front of the emperor. Li Yu will be demoted to the lowest eunuch of sweeping the floor. When you have learned the rules well, you can bring him to see me!"

Li Yu instantly softened: "Your Majesty..."

Jinzhong quickly responded: "Yes! I obey your command!"

Behind the scenes, he kept reminding Li Yu to shut up and stop angering the emperor.

Hongli said coldly: "Drag him away, give him thirty strokes of the cane, and then start working! If he can't do it well, go to the Sizhiku! Go to the Xinzheku!"

Jinzhong hurriedly helped the person down.

When they got outside, Jinzhong looked at Li Yu helplessly: "Master, you really fell into trouble this time for the Empress of Yikun Palace!"

Li Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He felt out of control and powerless all over.

Jinzhong brought Li Yu to Jinshou and said, "Master, Jinshou is one of our own. If he comes to fight, he will know how to control his hands. You have already touched the emperor's reverse scale. Don't make the emperor angry again during this period of time!"

Li Yu forced a smile with an unpleasant expression: "Fortunately, I still have you."

Jinzhong sighed, gave Jinshou a few instructions, and then quickly went to the main hall.

In the main hall, after Zhang Yun gave Yan Wan the medicine, Yan Wan finally woke up. She was obviously weak. She wanted to get up, but couldn't. She wanted to speak, but couldn't open her mouth. So she looked at Hongli, tears in despair.

Hongli was frightened by her tears: "What's wrong with you?"

He looked at Zhang Yun irritably: "Why is Wanwan like this?!"

Zhang Yun said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Take your time. Your Majesty will be able to speak."

He took out a pill and handed it to Yuhu: "Aunt Yuhu, please press it under the root of your tongue."

Yu Hu did as he was told. After a while, Yan Wan's complexion looked much better and she was able to speak again.

When Hongli heard her call him "Your Majesty", he felt relieved for the first time. "I don't know you yet. You are born timid and kind. What big mistake can you make? Even if you really made a big mistake, do you have no confidence in me? Do you think I will turn my face against you?"

Yan Wan choked up and said, "Your Majesty treats me so well, but I... I am truly to blame for this even if I die!"

Hongli held her hand tightly: "Stop saying such self-harming words!"

Yanwan looked at Chunchan who was squeezed behind. Chunchan was holding the basket tightly in her arms. Only when she saw Yanwan looking at her did she dare to step forward and knelt on the ground.

Yan Wan held Hongli's hand tightly, as if to gather strength: "Your Majesty, my mother... is practicing witchcraft... in Yongshou Palace!"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was so scared that they knelt on the ground, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Hongli looked at Yuhu and said, "Send everyone away."

After a pause, he said, "Jinzhong and Zhang Yun, Chunchan stays."

Yu Hu took the order and took all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room downstairs and closed the door himself.

In the room, Hongli looked at Yanwan quietly: "Tell me what's going on..."

Seeing Yan Wan's pale face, he finally softened his expression and said softly, "I promised you that I will not implicate you because of the mistakes made by your mother and brother."

Yan Wan shrank her shoulders and said, "Chun Chan, show the emperor what you dug out from the corner."

Chunchan opened the basket tremblingly.

Hongli looked down and saw four rag dolls, their bodies pierced with long needles as thin as cow hair, flashing with coldness in the light of dawn.
