The Emperor Has An Illness CH 36-61 (END)

Chapter 51.1

Liao Qing Qing said, "Replying to Your Majesty, this imperial concubine[1] would like to ask some questions to the witnesses at the scene."

Emperor Jing Li asked, "How are you going to question them?"

"This imperial concubine would like to borrow Noble Consort Liang's side hall for a while."

"I[2] will allow that."

"And—"

"And what?"

"And I would like to ask Noble Consort Liang and Empress Dowager to be present."

Emperor Jing Li's eyes darted to the side towards Noble Consort Liang. He said, "Granted."

Liao Qing Qing bowed in accordance with the rules to Emperor Jing Li. Then, she bowed to Empress Dowager and Noble Consort Liang. She walked up to Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, this imperial concubine will support you to the side hall."

Empress Dowager nodded her head.

Liao Qing Qing and Empress Dowager entered the side hall.

Noble Consort Liang followed behind them.

Worthy Consort and the others appeared puzzled. They didn't know what Liao Qing Qing was up to, but she was convinced that her scheme was so seamless that there was no way Liao Qing Qing could find anything wrong no matter what she would do.

After all, all the witnesses were her people, except for He Xiang.

Therefore, Worthy Consort remained in the hall.

Without Lady Xi of Bright Countenance, who was an eyesore, and Noble Consort Liang, she was the only person who had the most power in the hall. Her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Emperor Jing Li.

It had been a long time since she had seen Emperor Jing Li after Magistrate Liao was framed. He seemed even more handsome than before, the most dashing man she had ever seen. With one glance, her heart longed for him.

She knew that her family background was not comparable to Noble Consort Liang's.

She did not aspire to be an Empress.

She just wanted to be an Imperial Noble Consort and be by Emperor Jing Li's side.

At this moment, this was her chance since Noble Consort Liang and Lady Xi of Bright Countenance were not around. She subconsciously straightened her back, lifted her head ornaments, and tugged at her dress. Regret loomed over her. I would have dressed better if I had known I would be spending time with His Majesty. Forget it. The other parts of me look rather pretty.

She pursed her lips, looked up at Emperor Jing Li, and called out softly, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Jing Li was fiddling with the lid of his teacup and the slightly green floating leaves in it. When he heard this, he looked towards Worthy Consort.

Worthy Consort could not open her mouth and seduce Emperor Jing Li. She had no choice but to find an entry point and said, "Elder Sister, Noble Consort, and Younger Sister, Lady of Bright Countenance, have been in the side hall for so long with Empress Dowager. They have not come out yet. I wonder what they are talking about."

"Of course, they are talking about how you falsely accused Lady Xi of Bright Countenance."

One sentence shattered that bit of yearning for Emperor Jing Li in Worthy Consort's heart. Worthy Consort immediately explained, "Your Majesty, this concubine[3] and the others personally witnessed it."

Emperor Jing Li slightly lowered his head to take a sip of tea with knitted brows.

This tea is really astringent.
