Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Although there are many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone is in charge of what, and the people in charge are fixed, so it is still easy to check.

Moreover, in order to accurately poison Cao Qinmo's charcoal fire, the charcoal sent to various places must be divided into portions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If the person who poisoned Cao Qinmo wanted to poison her, then he must have known who to give it to.

Therefore, the scope of the investigation was small.

The person who poisoned the food should be identified soon.

However, the result was unexpected. Everyone's evidence and testimony proved that no one could get close to the charcoal.

The answer is obvious.

Concubine Rui still refused to give up, "Your Majesty, you can ask other people in Xianfu Palace to testify for me!"

Yinzhen was patient and called Feng Ruozhao and other palace maids as she wished.

Feng Ruozhao was very clear about the dispute between Rui Guiren and Cao Qinmo, after all, they lived in the same palace.

But she only told the part she knew.

"In the past two months, Miss Ruochu, who is beside Noble Lady Rui, has helped me to collect the charcoal fire. There has been no problem, so I have not paid attention to this matter."

Feng Ruozhao performed Tai Chi so well that Yinzhen and Yixiu didn't know what to say.

Yixiu then remembered that Feng Ruozhao was also a person who liked to smooth things over in his previous life. His stance was always very centrist and he never sided with anyone.

Yin Xiu said, "Your Majesty, the situation that day was indeed as Young Master Jing said, but this servant really did not receive the charcoal. It was Xiao Dongzi who said that he received it, but the situation... Your Majesty also saw it."

Feng Ruozhao then followed her words and said, "Yes, Xiaodongzi in Sister Cao's room did say that he got the charcoal that day."

Yinzhen called the little Dongzi over.

Lady Rui also thought of this.

She was not afraid of anything that Xiao Dongzi said, because it turned out that he was bribed by her.

If Xiao Dongzi could tell the emperor that it was Cao Qinmo and the others who took the charcoal away, wouldn't that prove that everything Cao Qinmo said was false?

Noble Lady Rui asked, "Xiao Dongzi, tell me the truth. Did you take the charcoal? Did you take all the charcoal for yourself and say it was me who did it?"

The little Dongzi knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, I have never seen those charcoals! Since the beginning of winter, Miss Cao has never seen charcoal again!"

"I said I took it away before because Miss Rui forced me to do so!"

This time, not to mention Feng Ruozhao, even Yin Xiu was stunned.

Since Concubine Rui deliberately arranged for Xiao Dongzi to be the one who brought the charcoal to Cao Qinmo, she said that the charcoal fire was taken away by Cao Qinmo.

There is an 80% chance that the poison was given to Cao Qinmo by Concubine Rui!

Cao Qinmo half lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Since she already knew that Xiao Dongzi had ulterior motives, how could she not punish him?

I have already won them over to my side.

Yixiu looked at Cao Qinmo's expression and understood everything.

After she learned that Concubine Rui was planning to attack Honghui, she naturally helped Cao Qinmo.

The timing arranged by Cao Qinmo was very appropriate.

"Your Majesty, I definitely don't!"

"This person belongs to Cao Qinmo! She arranged this!"

Concubine Rui screamed miserably, but what Feng Ruozhao had just said was very clear.

Yi Xiu cooperated and said, "It seems that it is true as Concubine Cao said. Concubine Rui poisoned Concubine Cao first, and then pretended to be poisoned herself."

"The conflict caused by the coal grabbing just happened to be the reason for Cao Changzai to poison her. In this way, Concubine Rui could get away with it."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Yinzhen said: "I think so too."

"Rui Guiren murdered other concubines. This is an unforgivable crime. Considering that you have served the Emperor, I will spare your life. You should reflect on your mistakes in this room. You are not allowed to leave from now on."

Concubine Rui didn't expect that she could still keep her life.

As long as I'm still alive, I can take my time with the rest.

-----------------

"Cao Changzai has a good plan." Jianqiu whispered to Yixiu.

Jianqiu has been fighting with Yixiu in the palace for many years and is very familiar with these routines.

None of the women who had been around Yinzhen before were as resourceful as Cao Qinmo.

It was Yixiu who had a keen eye for talent and brought this scheming person to his side early on.

"If Concubine Cao follows you from now on, you won't have to worry about the other concubines in the harem anymore."

Yixiu smiled faintly: "Whether Cao Qinmo can be used or not, we still have to wait and see."

In her previous life, Nian Shilan was betrayed by her.

Why would she make the same mistake again?

-----------------

Since Yinzhen ascended the throne, Concubine Rui was the first concubine to be placed under house arrest.

When people talk about it, they can't help but feel a sense of empathy, and many people have a feeling of being in the same boat from the bottom of their hearts.

But there are also those who are skilled and bold, and feel that chaos is a good time for them to stand out.

On this day, everyone came to Jingren Palace to pay their respects, and Yixiu also felt that everyone's faces were not as cheerful as before.

"I'm sure everyone has heard about Concubine Rui's story. Although the palace has its own rules for rewards and punishments, the emperor is kind and I can't bear to blame the sisters. As long as everyone behaves well, they can take care of themselves and the families behind the sisters will not be implicated."

"Of course. If any of my sisters make the wrong decision, they will inevitably be punished. These are the rules of the palace and everyone must abide by them, including me. Have I made myself clear?"

"Thank you for your teachings, my lady. We will follow your instructions."

Glancing at the people kneeling below and paying their respects, Yixiu finally nodded slightly. These words, which combined kindness and severity, would surely be an effective deterrent to most of the people below.

"Princess Qi, Concubine Chun, the two of you stay for a while." Just as everyone was about to disperse, Yixiu called out to Li Jingyan and Lingyu.

--------------------

The three of them moved to the inner room of Jingren Palace. Yixiu looked at her two former sisters and said, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, I have been very busy. The three of us haven't been able to talk together for a long time."

As soon as Yixiu finished speaking, Jianqiu came up with some snacks and said, "This red date and longan soup is Concubine Qi's favorite, especially now that the weather is cooler, it can nourish yin and replenish blood. This lotus root cake is Concubine Chun's favorite. The Empress said that everyone is getting older now, so she asked me to reduce the sugar by three points compared to the past. I prepared it for the two ladies early in the morning."

"When I was in the palace, Your Majesty often prepared food for me. I didn't expect Jianqiu would still remember it now."

Lingyu's fingertips lightly placed on the cup and saucer, and she said with some emotion.

"The Queen often said that although there are many concubines in the palace now, she always remembers the affection between the two ladies when they were together, and she often talks about it. How could I not remember it?"

"The Queen..."

Li Jingyan has always been not good at speaking, but at this moment, he was so moved that his eyes were red.

Seeing that the mood was almost built up, Yixiu began to get to the point: "Since the two sisters entered the palace, they have rarely seen the emperor. I wonder what the two sisters think?"

"How could I not want to see the emperor, but now my beauty has faded and my love has faded..." Li Jingyan touched her face, feeling very sad.

"Why do you have to give up on yourself, Concubine Qi? At least you still have the Third Prince."

Thinking about what happened to the Third Prince and Concubine Ying in the previous life, Yixiu felt that it was time to arrange a marriage for Hongshi earlier, so that Hongshi wouldn't have a seizure in the future and implicate the girls in the palace.

"I have discussed Hongshi's marriage with the emperor a few days ago. The emperor meant that Honghui is now married. Although Hongshi is a few years younger than Honghui, they can still meet first. This is what I mean too. As his mother, you should also worry about it."

"I...I thank the queen for her grace, and thank the emperor for his grace."

When Yixiu said this, Li Jingyan was deeply moved. She really didn't make a mistake in her choice of person. The Queen still cared about them and their son. "I will bring the Third Prince to pay my respects to you in a few days. Your Majesty, the Third Prince has grown taller again... Please take a good look."

"Yes, yes, he has grown taller. Go ahead and grow taller! Who can be taller than him?"

Yixiu waved her handkerchief, asked Li Jingyan to get up, turned her head and looked into Chunpin's eyes and said, "What about Chunpin?"

"My concubine..."

Ling Yu's heart was slightly moved, but if she was asked to express how much she admired and loved the emperor, she really couldn't say it.

Yixiu understood it, but fortunately she had found another path for Lingyu that was more suitable for her.

-------------------

Sure enough, in the next few days, everyone in the palace behaved much better, and even fewer people went to Yinzhen to serve tea and water.

As a result, Yinzhen actually felt a little uncomfortable.

If no women in the palace fight for him, how can his uniqueness as an emperor be demonstrated?

"Your Majesty, please turn over the sign."

On this day, the eunuch in the Jingshifang came to see Yinzhen with a green sign. Yinzhen glanced at it and frowned, saying, "There are so many signs, but I find them very boring."

At this point, a beautiful woman appeared in front of Yinzhen's eyes. She had been making many mistakes since she entered the palace, but it also showed that she really cared about him, right?

It is because I care that I can't help but lose my temper, but I just go too far without realizing it.

Ugh.

Yinzhen sighed softly in his heart. It was a pity that such a talented, beautiful, and affectionate woman was not in the palace now. Otherwise, it would be interesting to tease her.

There was a click.

Yinzhen gently turned over a small green card, which was exactly Huapin's. He said, "Let's go to Yikun Palace. Huapin is about to give birth. I will go and see her more."

Huapin is pretty and charming, which is a rare interesting thing in the palace nowadays. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yinzhen's lips.

Days in the palace are mostly tiring and boring, and one always needs stimulation to entertain oneself.

However, late at night, a shrill scream was heard from Yikun Palace.

Ah ~

Ahh~

Yinzhen was awakened from his sleep, frowned and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Su Peisheng..."

"Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much!" Huapin's voice came before Su Peisheng's. She tightly grasped Yinzhen's clothes and begged, "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much."

However, before Yinzhen could reply, Aunt Fangrong hurried in with Lanxin. Fangrong was indeed an experienced old aunt in the palace. Before visiting Concubine Hua, she did not forget to pay respect to Yinzhen in a proper manner.

"Your Majesty, Madam, now that Madam Hua is older, the child is bound to be naughty in my mother's belly. This is because the child is growing in your belly!"

In less than a moment, Fang Rong finished the inspection, allowing Yinzhen and Huapin to rest assured.

"Is there really no problem? Should we call the imperial physician to take a look?" Tong Jia Wanqing still asked worriedly. It was late at night and the palace gates were already locked. Besides, Yinzhen was here. If she wanted to ask the imperial physician to come, she would have to get Yinzhen's approval.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial physician to take a look..." Tong Jia Wanqing raised her head and looked at Yinzhen: "I am really scared..."

A hint of consideration flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, and he looked at Fangrong, who seemed to be considering how to arrange the next thing: "Send an order for the imperial physician to come to the palace."

Yinzhen turned around and ordered Su Peisheng to send someone to invite her, then turned around and patiently comforted Huapin: "If the pain is over, try to see if you can fall asleep. If you can't rest well, it will not only hurt yourself but also be bad for the child. Aunt Fangrong is an old aunt in the palace, and I still believe her words."

"Just cover yourself with the quilt and close your eyes. When you wake up again, the doctor will be waiting for you."

"I will stay here with you and won't go anywhere."

After that, Yinzhen sat down beside Tong Jia Wanqing's bed and held her hand, saying, "Go to sleep. Even if you can't sleep, close your eyes and take a rest. Regain your energy. The imperial physician will be here soon."

Aunt Fangrong and Su Peisheng looked at each other, and both of them tactfully led the palace maids out.

-----------------------

In the side hall of Yikun Palace, Cao Qinmo had already been awakened by the noise.

Although she was said to be woken up, she had not actually fallen asleep. The emperor came to the Yikun Palace which was very close, but the emperor only had eyes for the pregnant Concubine Hua. She had just dressed up neatly and was walking around in the courtyard of the Yikun Palace, but the emperor just passed by her as if he didn't see her at all!

It’s all because of Concubine Hua, who took away too much of the emperor’s energy!

That's why she couldn't see the emperor!

"My lady, I have secretly inquired about it. It is Concubine Hua who was feeling unwell late at night. I heard that the Emperor has sent someone to summon the imperial physician, who is now sitting by the bed to accompany Concubine Hua to sleep." Yinxiu walked up and whispered in Cao Qinmo's ear.

"Humph! As expected, she is a fox who seduces the master!" Cao Qinmo snorted coldly: "When the emperor is not here, she doesn't feel uncomfortable and can't sleep at night. I think she sleeps well. Her snoring can echo throughout the Yikun Palace!"

Yinxiu stood aside without saying a word. Whatever the master said was final. It would be fine even if the echoes could be heard throughout the entire Zijin City!

The next morning, Huapin woke up slowly. When she turned around, she saw the emperor's concerned face. Her nose felt sore and tears fell. Did the emperor just sit there and watch over her all night? !

"Your Majesty..." Huapin called out tenderly, "How could I let you suffer so much? It's all my fault."
