My Devil Emperor
Proof

"What does the Empress mean?" liang Rong asked, turning his body.

"Your servant's problem is over, but my servant's problem is not over. Why the rush to leave?"

Liang Rong frowned. "Hamba doesn't understand."

"Princess Liang Rong, this is not just about flowers but also about ethics. That's right, I probably won't mind the flowers, you can take as many as you want. But, this Xiao Ling did not ask for permission first. Aren't you guys looking at me?"

"This—only a small matter, why is the Empress so calculating?" Liang Rong said with a little displeasure.

Yuan chuckled. "Little problem? You mean taking flowers from Empress Xuan's garden without her permission is a small matter? A lowly servant who cut the Empress's talk was a small matter? Also how is your attitude and behavior when talking to me, already good?"

Liang Rong narrowed his eyes looking at Yuan. Inwardly wondering what the woman would do.

"Look, what do you mean you're looking at me like that? Liang Rong, don't cross your limits!"

Hearing that, Liang Rong directly lowered his head and said, "Sorry if Your Majesty is offended. Liang Rong didn't mean that."

"You haven't become a concubine yet, but your etiquette is already bad like this, are you very confident? After all your servants still broke the rules, Xiao Ling, my flowers are even more valuable than your life, don't you know?"

"Empress, please don't be angry."

"Xiao Ling has already damaged my flower. He took it without my permission, JingLi give him one slap!"

"Good." Jingli walked up to Xiao Ling and gave her a hard slap.

"Xuao Ling dared to speak cut off my conversation, she has no respect for me at all. Slap her!"

Jingli slapped her hard until it made the young woman stagger.

"Make a mess in my palace, give him one more slap!"

Jingli slapped him back. This time made Xiao Ling fall down.

Seeing her servant like that, Princess Rong opened her voice. "Your Majesty, please forgive Xiao Ling. Please stop it." His face looked pale and shocked.

"I'm not finished yet."

"Your Majesty beg your forgiveness."

"Daughter, don't beg her!"

Liang Rong glared at Xiao Ling. "Shut up!" pepakas.

"Aiyaa~ at a time like this, even he still dared to oppose me. Princess Rong, your servant is very virtuous."

"Your Majesty, Xiao Ling is used to me pampering, she does like to talk openly like that. Please Your Majesty release it. Please consider our relationship."

"relationship? What kind of relationship does Princess Rong mean?" tanya Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"This— I will be the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, it means that I will be your sister, can the Empress release Xiao Ling just this once? I'm begging you as your sister."

"Right too, Princess Rong was the Emperor's future concubine. Do I have to call you Concubine Rong now?"

"Itu—"

"Jingli, that's enough. If I punish her again, it will definitely make Consort Rong difficult."

Yuan walked over to Liang Rong. He stopped right next to her and whispered, "Concubine Rong, oh I mean future concubine Rong. I let you go this time, hoping that in the future don't act too impulsively. Remember, you are still not officially recognized as a concubine.  Don't act that will make you regret it. And that servant of yours, you must discipline him well, this servant like Xiao Ling is afraid of becoming your obstacle. Remember carefully where you are and do not underestimate your opponent. I guess you still remember what happened to your Ying'er sister right?" Yuan patted Liang Rong's shoulder slowly, and then turned to leave him.

"This matter is over you can go."

***

Liang Rong looked at the sinister Xiao Ling who was bowed silently in front of him. "You are useless! Can't you control your emotions?"

"Daughter, guilty servant. Please forgive me."

"It's useless! Because of you I was humiliated by her." Liang Rong massaged his temple slowly.

"La—lain times, I won't do it again, Princess."

"What do you mean next time? Do you intend to repeat it?!"

Lan Ling was stupefied and replied, "Ti—it's not like that."

"Be quiet! I don't want to hear your voice. You just go, take care of your face first."

"Okay, Princess." Lan Ling immediately left Liang Rong with her sad face.

"Zhou Yan Li!"

***

"Your Majesty, you're amazing. It felt so good when the servant slapped him earlier," Jingli said in flames.

Jingli shook his head quickly. "No, no. Empress, the original servant spoke earlier."

"That's it. Looking at Princess Rong's character, I think she'll do something else."

Geck.. Geck..

The sound of knocking on the door made Yuan turn his head.

Jingli swiftly went to take a look.

"Yunniang, why are you quiet? Any issues?"

"There is no Empress, just a little tired servant," replied Yunniang.

"Rest."

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress."

Yuan turned his head and saw Jingli coming with a eunuch.

"Easim Gui? What brings you here?"

"The emperor had affairs with Yunniang's servants, ordering the servant to take him to the trial."

"Yunna?" Yuan glanced at Yunniang who was looking down.

"Is there a problem?" Not knowing why, Yuan felt a little anxious and pounding. It seems like there will be other problems that are more difficult to deal with.

"Yunniang's servant is suspected of being a suspect for the events that befell the Empress three months ago."

"What!" Yuan staggered back but Yunniang held him back. "It—this is impossible."

Yuan pulled himself away. He stared in disbelief at Yunniang. "This— is not true, right?" tanyanya.

Yunniang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I serve you sincerely. There's no way I can do that. This— there must be a misunderstanding. Your Majesty, I will not make things difficult for you, if His Majesty the Emperor wishes to punish the servant, it is fine. In this life, I just don't want Her Majesty the Empress to misunderstand me. Everything I did to you was sincere."

"Servant Yunniang, let's explain in court."

Yunniang was pulled by a few servants to quickly exit the residence. Meanwhile, Yuan was still staring confusedly at Yunniang's departure. Everything happens suddenly.

"Your Majesty the Empress," call Jingli aware. He held onto Yuan's arm which was about to fall down.

"This is impossible" Yuan murmured.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Jingli brought Yuan to sit down.

"Jingli, take me to the courtroom."

"But—"

"If you won't drive me, then I'll go alone." Yuan stood up and walked weakly.

"Empress, wait." Jingli immediately followed Yuan and wiped him out.

Elsewhere, Yunniang knelt before the Emperor.

"Yunniang, why did you do it? You know, you've betrayed Empress Xuan. He'll be very disappointed to know."

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it."

"Liar. Do I have to use Linghun Ge to make you admit it? All the evidence has led to you. How are you going to explain it?" tanya ZiXuan looked at him lazily.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Yunniang, he couldn't possibly do it. No one knows him as well as I do. It—this must be a mistake."

"Ah, my Empress has come." Zi Xuan looked at Yuan who had just come along with Jingli beside him.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible."

"Xiao Li, I won't catch him if there's no evidence. You look well! The incense of a pair of nights and this black grass I found buried not far from where he lived. In your house."

Yuan looked at the two foreign objects and muttered, "Black grass?"

"Grass that can be used as poison to destroy meridians. The poison you accidentally drank three months ago."

Yuan felt his body getting weaker. If only Jingli had not held it back, he might have already fallen down by now.

"No way!" he said while shaking his head. His eyes are starting to heat up.

"Try you ask, where did he come from," ZiXuan said with a flat face.

"Yunnan, western region. And these two things are from the west."
