How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 613: How Pathetic

There was a eunuch, who was so intimidated by Yan Hengyin’s words and his stern, righteous expression, that he went ahead and spoke.

"Actually, it was Princess Consort Rong who pushed Noble Princess Consort Xu. She couldn’t stop herself and fell into the lake."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xianghua, who was beside Pei Lingling, slapped his face.

"Bold servant, do you know the serious crime of defaming your master?"

The eunuch gritted his teeth, "I know, but I was taught from a young age not to lie or frame others."

Hearing this, Pei Lingling was infuriated.

Clearly, it was that Noble Princess Consort Xu causing trouble, yet she somehow ended up as the villain.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

But she also remembered that the person in front of her, the Emperor, held her fate in his hands, so she suppressed her anger and acted coyly.

"Emperor, I’m truly wronged. I just wanted to walk over and say a few words to my sister, but then I was pulled into the lake."

After saying this, she shed two teardrops, looking pitiful indeed.

Compared to Pei Lingling’s pitiful state, Pei Shu’er remained very calm.

She had no sympathy for Pei Lingling, to put it bluntly, Pei Lingling was simply not as skilled.

Moreover, if she herself were not capable, the one falling into the lake would have been her.

With both new grudges and old, she couldn’t easily let Pei Lingling off the hook.

She said, "The Imperial Concubine also mentioned you came to greet me, so why would I have any reason to push you?"

"More importantly, not only do people on my side say you were pushing me, but even people on your side say it too. Isn’t the truth quite clear?"

Yan Hengyin’s expression had turned unsightly.

Even the eunuchs and palace maids around Pei Lingling were hanging their heads in silence.

Pei Lingling was almost bursting with anger.

"You’re spouting nonsense! This eunuch must have been bribed by Noble Princess Consort Xu."

In a certain sense, Pei Lingling hit the mark, but no matter what, Pei Shu’er would not admit it.

She laughed coldly, "The Imperial Concubine’s words are so arbitrary. This blame just has to be pinned on me?"

Pei Lingling pleaded again, but Yan Hengyin impatiently frowned.

"Enough, take the Imperial Concubine back. What happened today must not happen again, furthermore, the Imperial Concubine is inciting trouble, so she’ll be confined for a month."

Hearing this, Pei Lingling felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Seeing the impatience on Yan Hengyin’s face, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Today was truly an unlucky day for her.

First, she was pushed into the water by Noble Princess Consort Xu in the cold of winter, then bitten back by her own people, and ended up covered in filth.

Pei Lingling didn’t want to leave but was taken away by the guards.

"Emperor, Noble Princess Consort Xu harmed me. I did not hurt her. Emperor, you have to believe me."

Saying this, Pei Lingling broke free from the guards, then walked nearby Pei Shu’er and raised her hand to slap her.

"You vile little liar."

But her hand was caught by Yan Hengyin, his face full of disappointment.

"Consort, when did you become so jealous?"

Pei Lingling was furious, "I’m jealous? Emperor, don’t be fooled by this woman!"

Pei Shu’er wore a look of humility and grievance, "Your Highness, after all, you’re the Imperial Concubine. Using a bit of power to oppress people and accusing a small noble concubine like me with such heavy charges, I naturally dare not say anything."

As soon as Pei Shu’er said this, Yan Hengyin’s eyes noticeably lit up.

Yan Hengyin said, "If you desire a higher position, you can ask me. I am willing to give it to you."

Pei Lingling’s tears stopped, thoroughly surprised.

Why was it that this plain-looking Noble Princess Consort Xu seemed to have the Emperor eager to please her?

She was immensely disgruntled, filled with jealousy.

Seeing Pei Lingling still standing there, Yan Hengyin looked at the guards.

"Does my command not work anymore?"

When Pei Lingling was taken away by the guards, she couldn’t comprehend how things had come to this.

Clearly... she was just here to see who exactly this Noble Princess Consort Xu was.

How did it end up this way?

Yan Hengyin’s gaze turned to Pei Shu’er, filled with a tenderness that even made Pei Shu’er’s heart tremble.

Yan Hengyin smiled, "Pei Shu’er, you are jealous."

Pei Shu’er shook her head, "You misunderstood."

She only intended to mock Pei Lingling with a few words earlier.

Truly, she had no intention of vying for a higher position.

Yan Hengyin seemed to be in a good mood today, sitting for a while in Ren Shan Palace.

Then he said, "I’m hungry. Go make something to eat, I want something made by you personally."

Pei Shu’er happened to be tired of the meals cooked by the palace chef, and she enjoyed cooking herself, also thinking she could add some medicine to make Yan Hengyin drowsy.

After contemplating, she went to the kitchen.

As she stood up, Yan Hengyin watched her back and suddenly said, "Have you gained a bit of weight recently?"

Pei Shu’er’s movement paused, knowing she needed to avoid any complications, she had been wearing very loose clothes to maintain her leisurely pregnancy.

Now with Yan Hengyin pointing it out, Pei Shu’er’s face remained unchanged, but her heart unexpectedly quickened.

"A bit, after all, I can only stay in the palace all day and scarcely move about."

After saying this, Yan Hengyin stood up, walked over to Pei Shu’er, and stood silently watching her downcast eyebrows.

"Are you holding a grudge against me in your heart? In a while, once this turmoil quiets down, you’ll be able to go out."

Pei Shu’er roughly knew what turmoil Yan Hengyin referred to.

Nothing more than Tang Zan now colluding with outsiders and making a move outside.

Currently, she hadn’t contacted Empress Xiao, the most crucial person, otherwise, she could have left here already.

Seeing Pei Shu’er remain silent, Yan Hengyin’s expression also darkened.

He clenched his hand, took a deep breath, barely managing to steady his emotions.

Sometimes he really wanted to kill Pei Shu’er.

But more often, he couldn’t help but instinctively want to please her.

What a pitiful wretch.

She treated him that way, yet he’d still like a moth to a flame chase after a glimmer of hope.

She went into the kitchen, prepared the meal, and after bringing it out, Yan Hengyin seemed quite pleased eating it.

His face gradually relaxed from its initial gloominess to a later expression of ease.

After eating, Yan Hengyin fell asleep at the table, dreaming.

Pei Shu’er called the palace maids, instructing them to watch over Yan Hengyin, and to delay him if he woke up early.

Meanwhile, she changed into night clothes and headed for Empress Xiao’s palace.

Upon seeing Empress Xiao, she realized that even Empress Xiao was not having a good time.

There were not many people in the palace, but there were quite a few guards outside the palace gates, practically under soft imprisonment. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When she approached Empress Xiao, she saw Empress Xiao burst into laughter, her eyes full of mockery.

"So has he finally found me intolerable and sent you to kill me?"
