Chapter 363
Upon hearing this, Hongli turned around and looked at the other person, but did not intend to reply.
"I heard something yesterday, and I wanted to ask you about it."
It was as if your heart skipped a beat, and you subconsciously had a bad premonition.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and put on a somewhat forced smile, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"When I first entered the palace with the noble lady, a lot of musk was found in the east wing of the Yikun Palace. Do you have anything to say about this?"
The noble man's face changed instantly.
But I will never admit it.
"Your Majesty, I don't know..."
"You really don't know?"
Hongli stared at Ru Guiren without blinking, his expression becoming more solemn.
This made Ru Guiren unable to utter any more of his sophistry.
But Hongli never stopped there.
"When the noble lady first entered the palace, she was isolated and helpless. When she discovered this, she dared not speak out. She only dared to have someone quietly throw the things into the Thousand Carp Pond. However, I could not bear to watch her suffer this injustice without being able to speak out."
Hongli's words made Ru Guiren lose the courage to speak again.
He lowered his head, his face pale as he twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.
Hongli suddenly chuckled.
"You don't have to be nervous. I didn't say that this must be your doing."
"After all, the nobleman has not been harmed by this, so leaving a few things here and there is no great sin."
These words made Ru Gui's heart beat like a drum.
His knees went weak and he knelt down.
"emperor…"
"stand up."
Hongli's voice was unquestionable.
If you are not sure what the other person is thinking, you have no choice but to do as he is told.
Hongli's voice rang out again shortly afterwards.
"Where did you get the musk?"
As soon as he stood up, he heard these words, and his heart sank again and again.
The emperor has already determined that this was his doing.
I closed my eyes, as if I didn't know where to start my argument.
She could only bow her head in resignation, "Your Majesty, I lost my child to someone else, and in a moment of misconception, I didn't want others to get pregnant, so I made the mistake and did this."
"But I have already regretted it. I also knew that I had secretly thrown away those dirty things with the noble lady, so I didn't say anything."
"In the final analysis, it is all my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have no complaints."
Hongli was a little surprised by the nobleman's sudden calmness.
But on second thought, isn’t this the result I want?
He didn't care that the other party knelt down again.
Putting his hands behind his back, Hongli spoke again, "Now you are honest, but have you ever thought about what would happen if the noble lady didn't discover those dirty things and was really hurt?"
"She has had a hard life since she was a child, and after entering the palace, she was plotted against like this. What kind of pitiful person is she?"
If hatred arises in the noble man's heart.
Having a hard time?
For a concubine's daughter, it is a blessing from heaven that she can enter the palace. Why should she dream of anything else?
Although he thought so, he didn't dare show it on his face.
"Your Majesty is right. Everything is my fault. Fortunately, I was very careful and did not make any mistakes. Otherwise, I would never be able to redeem myself."
"I dare not ask for the emperor's forgiveness, but I only ask that the emperor take better care of the noble sister. This will also make up for the guilt I feel."
Hongli sneered, "You're actually good at doing me a favor."
"I dare not. Your Majesty, please rest assured. If I get the chance, I will definitely take better care of He Guiren and will not let her be bullied."
When the noble man said this, Hongli paused.
Another sigh followed.
"I knew that the people I value would not be unforgivable criminals."
"emperor…"
"You haven't answered me yet. Where did you get the musk?"
If you are confused for a while.
If I open my mouth, wouldn't I be exposing Zhou Yue's affairs clearly in front of the emperor?
This is absolutely not allowed, otherwise what future do you have?!
The mind becomes determined in an instant.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I paid for musk to be sent from outside the palace. I only got that much in total. There is no more in Yikun Palace."
