Yinzhen went to Zhongcui Palace with his men without saying hello to anyone. Concubine Liang knew about Juelan's mother. Although the girl was in her palace, this matter had nothing to do with her. If he wanted to search, she could do it.

Yinzhen didn't find Juelan in Zhongcui Palace, so Concubine Liang was a little worried. Some indescribable feeling always wanted to follow Yinzhen. It was the first time she felt so nervous in her own palace.

There was only Juelan's room left to be searched, and Concubine Liang followed in and watched the guards rummaging around. Fortunately, they didn't find anything, after all, this was her palace. Just when nothing was found, Yinzhen noticed the uneven area under the table, and after a careful touch, he pulled out the envelope.

Concubine Liang wanted to grab it and take a look first, but was stopped by the guards around her.

"As the mistress of a palace, you cannot touch me. Let me go." As the letter was unfolded, Concubine Liang became a little anxious.

Yinzhen stroked the letter in his hand and looked at Concubine Liang: "Your Majesty has been wronged. Let me read the contents of the letter to you."

The voice was not loud, but the content of the letter was enough to make Concubine Liang's face more and more panicked: "Stop, don't read it." Although the letter was found in Juelan's room, the content cleared herself from the blame and everything pointed to herself.

Yinzhen held the letter high in front of Concubine Liang and said, "Does Concubine Liang have anything else to say?"

"I know nothing. You should ask whoever found the letter."

As soon as Concubine Liang finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Really?"

Kangxi strode in. He had come to see Concubine Liang today, but he happened to hear the conversation just now outside the door.

Kangxi took the letter from the fourth son. The words in the letter made him look more and more disappointed with the person in front of him. He had never thought that Concubine Liang had such little thoughts before, but now she did such things. Instigating his subordinates to practice witchcraft and stir up waves in the court, she really deserved to be punished.

Concubine Liang did not dare to look up at the majesty of heaven, and all the palace maids knelt with her in the hall.

Kangxi asked Yinzhen to bring Juelan over for questioning. As soon as Juelan arrived, she told him everything that had happened.

"The letter says that Concubine Liang ordered you to do it. Is that true?" Kangxi asked immediately after she finished speaking.

Juelan understood what her uncle meant and immediately nodded and said that it was indeed the case. Now that there was evidence, it would be difficult for Concubine Liang to defend herself.

Kangxi did not expect that the person being punished was the usually gentle Concubine Liang. If the trend of witchcraft was not eradicated, the harem would not be at peace. Even if Concubine Liang wanted to explain, Kangxi was so angry that he would not listen.

Concubine Liang was demoted to a concubine and fined for half a year as a punishment. As for Juelan, who helped him persecute the royal family with witchcraft, Kangxi ordered her to be imprisoned in the laundry department for three months without anyone visiting her because of their blood relationship.

After Concubine Liang was demoted, many of her subordinates turned against her. People in the court were afraid that the Eighth Prince would be implicated by his mother, and there were very few people speaking up for him recently. On the contrary, the Fourth Prince was becoming more and more important in front of Emperor Kangxi.

Deyin learned about Juelan's affairs several days later. Her father and mother mentioned the emperor's attitude in handling the matter during a meal. It was not until Deyin continued to ask that she learned that the emperor punished Juelan to go to the laundry department for the sake of Baidao's face. If it were someone else, they would have been punished with a foot of white silk.

"The Fourth Prince is the one who thought it through. This time we kill two birds with one stone." Guaerjia said while looking at Baidao.

That letter, on the one hand, stopped Juelan from marrying into the Eighth Prince's mansion, as Kangxi would never allow such a person to be the prince's wife. On the other hand, it suppressed the power of Concubine Liang, and the Eighth Prince was also affected.
