The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 606 I am too lenient with you

Concubine Cheng's back stiffened and she turned to look at Empress Shi.

The other party looked calm and unperturbed. Although there was no expression of gloating, Concubine Cheng immediately concluded that the other party had learned the news and came to laugh at her and take advantage of her misfortune.

Gritting her teeth secretly, Concubine Cheng said coldly: "It's so late, what are you doing here, Queen?"

"Isn't my sister here too? If you can come, why can't I?" Queen Shi asked back with a smile, her tone lacking much emotion, as if she was just talking casually.

But this smile fell into the eyes of Concubine Cheng at this moment, and she felt it was particularly dazzling.

After all, she had just mocked Queen Shi for being childless, and she was proud of herself for being able to get the emperor's protection with the help of Xiao Yi. So at this moment, even if Queen Shi was just standing here, it was enough to make her feel humiliated.

But thinking that her son was still imprisoned in the Sky Prison, Concubine Cheng could not care about these things anymore. She turned around and looked at the door of the bedroom and raised her voice.

"Your Majesty, I beg to see you. Please see me no matter what!"

The young eunuch hurriedly stopped him, "My Lady, the Emperor has already said that he is not feeling well and wants to have a good rest. You should not stay here..."

But before he could finish his words, he was scared back by Concubine Cheng's vicious look.

"You little slave, when did you have the right to stop me like this!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down quickly and dared not speak again.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know what happened, I beg Your Majesty to see me for the sake of my many years of service!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you!"

Concubine Cheng kept talking, and when she got to the end, she gritted her teeth and knelt down at the door of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to see me tonight, I will kneel outside this palace. I will never leave unless Your Majesty sees me!"

Queen Shi stood quietly behind Concubine Cheng, watching her pray loudly and watching her kneel down.

She neither opened her mouth to mock nor stepped forward to request to see Emperor Xiao. She just stood there in silence for a while, then turned and left.

Noticing the footsteps gradually fading away behind her, Concubine Cheng slightly side-glanced and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Queen Shi didn't say anything and left directly, which was beyond her expectations, but on second thought, she felt it was reasonable.

After all, the other party's mere appearance here is humiliating enough, so why bother saying anything else? What's more, in front of the emperor, the other party has always pretended to be gentle and generous, so naturally he is unwilling to reveal this mask.

Concubine Cheng didn't bother to care about these things anymore. She quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the door of the bedroom.

In this way, she knelt outside Emperor Xiao's bedroom for a full incense stick of time.

Concubine Cheng originally thought that if she did this, Emperor Xiao would be somewhat sympathetic, but she did not expect that even though her knees were already aching from kneeling, there was still no decree to summon her from the bedroom.

Just when she began to doubt whether this trick would work, finally, the eunuch beside Emperor Xiao walked out of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you in."

Concubine Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up with the help of her maid.

When entering the bedroom, Concubine Cheng walked deliberately very slowly, looking a bit pitiful as she limped along, in an attempt to make Emperor Xiao feel distressed.

But when she saw Emperor Xiao sitting in the main seat of the bedroom with a solemn look on his face, she immediately realized that this matter could not be solved by pretending to be pitiful.

"emperor……"

As soon as Concubine Cheng opened her mouth, the teacup next to Emperor Xiao was swept to the ground.

The harsh sound of porcelain pieces breaking was accompanied by Emperor Xiao's cold words: "You two really are great. Do you think I can be deceived, fooled and manipulated by you?"

"I dare not!" Concubine Cheng was shocked and knelt down quickly. Her knee hit a piece of broken porcelain and she frowned in pain.

Trying hard not to cry out in pain, Concubine Cheng carefully raised her eyes, met Emperor Xiao's cold gaze, and spoke with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what happened, nor do I know what Yi'er did wrong. I just heard the news that he was thrown into the prison, and I was so anxious that I knelt outside the bedroom hoping to see Your Majesty. I absolutely have no intention of forcing Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to understand."

In the past, Emperor Xiao would have thought this look pitiful.

But at this moment, thinking of what Xiao Yi had done, coupled with the fact that Concubine Cheng had poisoned him before, Emperor Xiao felt extremely offended.

"I have never treated you and your son unfairly, but you have deceived me and concealed the truth. You have been stirring up trouble in the harem, and he has been pretending to be cynical on the surface, but secretly plotting and scheming with cruel means. How many lives have died in his hands? He is really abominable!"

Emperor Xiao’s words made Concubine Cheng’s heart tremble violently.

Planning and scheming, cruel means, and even loss of life? What did Yier do?

Concubine Cheng was flustered, but she still tried to calm herself down and explained: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what Yi'er did, but I believe that no matter what he did wrong, it was just a moment of confusion. He definitely didn't have any intention of hiding or scheming against Your Majesty. In his heart, he has always admired you and would never do anything..."

"He has great admiration for me? How ridiculous! Does his admiration mean that he wants to kill my subjects, ignore my people, and even kill my son?"

Emperor Xiao's words were like thunder exploding in Concubine Cheng's heart.

Subject, citizen, son?

The emperor's deceased son was none other than the third prince Xiao Ling...

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. How could Yi'er harm his own brother? This must be a misunderstanding. Moreover, your Majesty knows how good the relationship between the Third Prince and Yi'er is. Yi'er would never do such a thing no matter what!"

"Humph, you are still trying to defend him. He has already admitted it himself."

Admitted it? Concubine Cheng was stunned again.

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Xiao in surprise. Seeing that the surprise on her face did not seem fake, Emperor Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Could it be that even you, his mother, have been kept in the dark by him and have no idea about it?"

Concubine Cheng came to her senses and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I really don't know anything. There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe someone deliberately set up a trap to wrongly accuse Yi'er. You also know that Yi'er is now highly regarded by you in the court. It is possible that someone is jealous and wants to plot against him."

"I have already said it, he admitted it himself."

"Yier admitted... maybe, maybe he was just angry for a moment and thought that Your Majesty didn't believe him, so he spoke nonsense and said things without thinking. Yes! This must be the case!"

Looking at Concubine Cheng who was still arguing, Emperor Xiao felt extremely disappointed, and his heart became even more depressed.

"I really regret now that I was too lenient towards you and your son!"

As soon as the words of disgust and disappointment came out of his mouth, Emperor Xiao suddenly felt a strong dull pain in his heart!
