In an instant, there was deathly silence outside. You could even hear the sound of a pin dropping to the ground. Everyone couldn't believe their ears. What did that person say just now?
The emperor even lost his expression, as if he had no idea what the little eunuch inside meant.
After a while, the clever concubine finally noticed the turmoil in this, but she didn't want to miss such an opportunity to drive Wen Congyun into a place of eternal destruction. Not to mention that Wen Congyun was not favored, it would not hinder her, as long as she Wen Congyun was still the emperor's concubine, so they were destined to be enemies, so the fewer enemies, the better.
So the concubine pretended to be frightened and shouted back at the little eunuch: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wen Zhaorong is His Majesty's concubine, and His Majesty is still outside. How can there be a man in Wen Zhaorong's bed?"
How could she explain to Wen Congyun? It's almost enough to add fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the emperor finally realized something. The expression on his face instantly became distorted, and his eyes were opened angrily and covered with bloodshot eyes. If Wen Congyun were in front of him at this time, he could strangle him alive. she.
The emperor walked angrily to Wen Congyun's bedroom without saying a word. The other concubines looked at each other a few times, and instantly understood and followed the emperor in.
Wen Congyun's bedroom is located at the innermost part of Fangyun Palace, and the fire started from the entrance of Fangyun Palace. Everyone put out the fire in time, so the fire only reached the outside of Wen Congyun's bedroom and was extinguished, so Wen Congyun Yun's bedroom was intact except for the smoke that drifted in from outside. Everything inside could be seen clearly.
When the emperor saw with his own eyes that Wen Congyun was tightly entangled with a strange man and was still meticulously dressed, his vision went dark and he almost fainted. Fortunately, he was in good health, even after being so stimulated. Hold on.
His eyes were wide open, staring at the naked man and woman on the bed, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and the big eunuch's arm was almost broken by him, but the big eunuch didn't dare Speaking out at this time, I had no choice but to endure the pain.
"Ah! Wen Zhaorong...how dare she betray His Majesty!" The clever concubine exclaimed in a low voice. Seeing this rare scene in a hundred years, the other concubines also covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, not knowing that they were afraid of screaming. She spoke out, still afraid that her smile would be seen.
"Come here! Wake up these bitches!" the emperor ordered through gritted teeth.
Soon a guard came in with a basin of cold water and poured it on the two people on the bed.
The smoke that Lu Shichu used was not too powerful, so as soon as the basin of cold water was poured on them, Wen Congyun and Fang Zheng woke up slowly.
Wen Congyun had just woken up and before she could react, she saw the emperor standing beside her bed with a face as black as coal. She smiled reflexively and said, "Your Majesty, are you here to see me?"
When the emperor saw that she could actually laugh, he was so angry that his head was about to smoke. He slapped Wen Congyun hard on the face and cursed: "Mr. Wen! Do you still have the nerve to smile at me?"
Wen Congyun was finally woken up by the emperor's slap. When she realized her situation, she screamed in panic and wished she could faint immediately so she wouldn't have to face the current situation. She knew she was finished.
Fang Zheng also realized that he and Wen Congyun had been caught in bed with a girl. He also panicked, but after all, he still loved Wen Congyun the most, so he immediately protected Wen Congyun behind him with great responsibility, his eyes tight. He stared at the emperor closely and said, "I forced Cong Yun. She was forced and did not betray you."
"Bah! Do you think I'm a fool!?" The emperor was so angry that he stopped shouting, pointing at Fang Zheng and ordered the guards, "Break his legs!"
The guards immediately swarmed forward. Fang Zheng had always resented the emperor for taking away his sweetheart and not cherishing him. Now that he saw that he was about to be arrested, he immediately resisted.
However, although his martial arts skills were good, those who could serve as guards in the palace could not be poor in martial arts, not to mention there were many of them. So soon, Fang Zheng was caught by the guards and his legs were severely broken. .
Fang Zheng's screams made Wen Congyun tremble, but now that she couldn't protect herself, it was impossible to plead for Fang Zheng, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear it.
"Mr. Wen, what do you want to tell me?" the emperor asked Wen Congyun through gritted teeth.
Even though Wen Congyun was usually very scheming and scheming, this incident of catching a girl in bed still made her panic, because she couldn't escape no matter what.
But she was still a bit quick-witted, because she didn't want to die, so she rushed forward in a panic and hugged the emperor's legs. She raised her little face and cried so hard that she said in a panic: "Your Majesty! I don't know anything about this concubine." I don’t know, I fell asleep last night, and when I woke up, I looked like this! Your Majesty, you have to believe me, I must have been framed..."
Wen Congyun cried and defended herself to the emperor, her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face. She was so pitiful, as if she had really been framed. However, no matter how she denied her excuses, the emperor did not believe her. Men are the most pathetic. He hated being cuckolded, especially by a man like the emperor who had a strong sense of self-esteem. He witnessed his woman betraying him and getting involved with other men. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Wen Congyun alive.
"Mr. Wen, do you also think that I am a fool?" The emperor laughed angrily, pinched Wen Congyun's cheek, and said fiercely, "If you dare to betray me, I will never make it easy for you..."
Wen Congyun was so panicked that she felt chills all over, but she still had to cry and deny and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, I really did not betray you. It was that person who harmed me. I am unjustly accused..."
"Your Majesty, since Wen Zhaorong is claiming injustice, it is better to investigate clearly before speaking. It would be bad if Wen Zhaorong is really wronged. If there is no injustice, then Wen Zhaorong will have nothing to say." The imperial concubine said to the emperor softly, "I remember, I remember The maids serving Wen Zhaorong were all brought by her from her parents' home, and they should know everything about her affairs. Why don't your Majesty ask someone to interrogate those two maids of hers?"
"Okay, let's interrogate her two maids! If they refuse to confess, they will be beaten to death!" the emperor said, staring at Wen Congyun coldly.
And when Wen Congyun heard that her personal maid was going to be interrogated, she felt paralyzed because her two maids really knew everything about her and Fang Zheng.
She regretted, regretted that she should not have kept these two maids, regretted that she had not cleared away the traces of her childhood sweetheart earlier. She knew that the situation was over at this time, and she collapsed on the bed with despair.
When the other concubines saw her desperate look, they were all in a happy mood. For them, it would be best if Wen Congyun couldn't get up at all.
