Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yi Ya stood still and told Wu Ya's actions one by one with a determined look.

"My dear mother, the day Li Gege gave birth was a day of joy for everyone in the palace, but unexpectedly, Uya became jealous and took advantage of Li Gege's weakness to secretly attack her. Not only did she tamper with Li Gege's diet in an attempt to make her have a difficult delivery, she also deliberately misled the midwife at the critical moment, causing Li Gege to suffer great pain during the delivery process. In the end, although she barely gave birth to the child, she became ill and could no longer have children."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De's face turned pale, her fists clenched, and her nails almost dug into her palms without her realizing it. She never expected that such a cruel and ruthless person would appear in her family.

"This kind of evil behavior is simply intolerable!"

She angrily scolded, "I thought she was just a little bit scheming, but I didn't expect she would do such a heinous thing! Yinzhen is right, such a vicious woman should be severely punished!"

Seeing that Concubine De was so angry, Yi Ya felt relieved. She knew that Concubine De was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and would definitely not cover up for someone who made a mistake. She continued.

"I also know that this matter is of great importance, so I have never dared to speak out. But now that Mother has asked, I dare not hide anything. Although Wu Ya has been confined, I think that confinement alone is not enough to settle the matter, let alone explain it to Li Gege and the palace."

De Fei nodded, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "You are right. This matter cannot be left at this point. I will personally look into this matter and make sure to give justice to Li Gege and give an explanation to the palace. At the same time, I will also warn the family members not to do such despicable things again, otherwise, I will never let them off easily!"

Yi Ya was grateful to Concubine De for making such a decision. She knew that with Concubine De's support and justice, Li Gege's grievances would be vindicated and the order in the palace would be more stable.

She knelt again and said gratefully, "Thank you, mother, for making the decision for me and Princess Li. I am very grateful!"

Defei reached out her hand to help Yiya up, her eyes full of love and determination: "You and I are not only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also family members. We should support each other. You handled this matter very well, and I am very pleased. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, and I will do my best to help you."

Outside the window, the spring breeze blows gently, taking away the tension and depression in the room, leaving behind warmth and harmony.

Yi Ya sat next to De Fei, and the two were enjoying this rare time as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The topics ranged from trivial matters in the palace to the blooming and falling of flowers, and they were filled with laughter and showed their intimacy.

Just as they were immersed in this warmth, there was a slight noise outside the door, followed by the steady and powerful footsteps of Yinzhen. He had just finished his court and hurried to Yonghe Palace, thinking of Yiya and hoping to pay his respects to his mother.

Yinzhen walked into the hall and first bowed respectfully to Concubine De and greeted her.

"Your son, Yinzhen, pays respects to your mother. Is your mother in good health?"

Defei looked up at Yinzhen, her eyes full of kindness and satisfaction. She gently raised her hand to signal Yinzhen to stand up, and pointed to a chair beside him for him to sit down.

"Fourth Brother, please take a seat. Mother is fine. You are so thoughtful to come here right after the court session."

After Yinzhen sat down, he glanced gently at Yi Ya, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

Seeing this, Concubine De understood the purpose of Yinzhen's visit even more clearly. So, she did not say much, but just smiled at the two of them, as if everything was self-evident.

After a moment of silence, Concubine De spoke softly, bringing the topic to business: "Fourth Brother, have you decided on the candidate for Concubine? If you have considered it carefully, you should ask the Emperor for the title as soon as possible, so that everyone in the palace can be prepared."

Yinzhen's expression turned serious when he heard this. He nodded slightly and replied, "Don't worry, mother. I have already made plans for this matter. I will report it to father when everything is arranged properly."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Yi Ya and Yin Zhen and gave them earnest instructions.

"You two are the pillars of the palace. Not only should you support each other, but you should also shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the palace together. It is your mission and responsibility to keep the palace harmonious."

Yinzhen and Yiya both nodded solemnly in agreement. They understood Defei's expectations and teachings, and their hearts were filled with determination and resolution for the future.

Yinzhen has always been a little reserved in his interactions with Concubine De. He doesn't know how to start a conversation with his mother naturally, but at this moment, he chooses to listen quietly and let Concubine De's words pass through his heart like a spring breeze.

After Concubine De finished speaking, he said sincerely: "I will remember your teachings in my heart. Please rest assured, I will live up to your expectations."

Afterwards, Yinzhen and Yiya stood up together and bowed to Concubine De again to say goodbye.

They walked out of Yonghe Palace, hand in hand, on the palace road, their hearts filled with love for each other and longing for the future.
