The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Concubine Ge was stunned, and everyone was stunned.

No one expected Yunxue to suddenly confess at this time. She said, "After Yunshuang and I settled Miss Xue, we saw that the study was unattended, so we wanted to send Yunshuang away and steal valuables, but we accidentally broke the Baixi bottle. Unexpectedly, Yunshuang found out when she returned. I was afraid that Yunshuang would report me, so I had to kill her to silence her. Who knew..."

Her eyes were red and tearful, and she looked at Yun Shuang with gritted teeth: "Who knew that this bitch was not dead yet! She always steals my limelight and the favor of the queen. I have been wishing she was dead for a long time!"

Yun Shuang shook her head in astonishment: "No... No, Yun Xue, don't..."

"It's nothing!" Yun Xue said sternly, "Before Your Majesty entered the palace, I was so kind to you, but what about you? You always want to be better than me. Why?!"

Seeing that Yun Shuang wanted to say something, Yun Xue pointed at her and said, "Shut up! If you still have the heart, shut your mouth!"

She blinked, holding back tears, and bowed to the Queen Mother again: "In short, everything was done by this servant, and it has nothing to do with you, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Concubine Ge who was kneeling in a daze, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Concubine, what's going on?"

Concubine Ge's eyes were red, and she opened her mouth: "Empress Dowager..."

Yun Xue kowtowed to her and said, "My Lady, I am guilty and ashamed of myself. Today, I have caused you to be punished by the Queen Mother. Please do not plead for me."

After that, she said to the Queen Mother, "If the Queen Mother wants to interrogate me, then interrogate me. It is because I am similar in figure to Miss Xue that Yun Shuang mistook me for Miss Xue. It is also because I was too greedy that such a disaster occurred. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

The Empress Dowager will not severely punish Concubine Ge, just like she did last time, she will not severely punish Ge Yuanhui. But if it is confirmed that Concubine Ge was responsible for this incident, then it will definitely become a heavy blow one day, especially since her mortal enemy Concubine An is still present.

Only if Yunxue admits to the matter and the case is closed can the root of the trouble be eliminated. However, if Yunxue is dealt with according to palace rules, she will definitely not survive.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the Queen Mother ordered: "Take her away and interrogate her strictly."

Several eunuchs said yes and took Yunxue away.

“Yunxue…Yunxue!”

Concubine Ge tried to persuade her to stay, but Yunshuang also choked up with sobs.

Yun Xue just smiled sadly: "Your Highness... I will tell the truth to the people in the torture chamber. Before entering the palace, I promised to accompany you forever. Now I can only break my promise..."

She glanced at Yunshuang who was already sobbing and unable to speak: "Yunshuang, you are useless and can't do anything right, but if you can't protect the queen in the future, I will never forgive you even if I become a ghost!"

Without giving them much time to say goodbye, Yun Xue was urged to leave by the eunuchs.

In this situation, if Xue Zhiyi wasn't the one framed by their conspiracy, she would have been moved.

The Ge family is worthy of being the Ge family. No matter whether it is Concubine Ge or Ge Yuanhui, they are surrounded by such loyal servants who are willing to put their own lives at risk.

Concubine Ge was still in a daze, crying. But even if Yunxue took all the blame, it didn't mean that Concubine Ge would be completely unharmed.

"Concubine."

The Queen Mother's voice startled Concubine Ge, and she quickly knelt up and said, "I am here."

The Queen Mother said, "There are always disputes in the harem, and now it has spread to my Jianzhang Palace, to Wuyou's crowning ceremony, and even implicated the officials' wives. Is this how the Imperial Concubine manages the six palaces?"

The queen had no children, was not favored, and was in poor health, so the power to manage the six palaces fell on Concubine Ge.

Hearing this, the imperial concubine didn't even bother to wipe her tears, and quickly leaned forward and kowtowed: "Queen Dowager, I am incompetent, please forgive me!"

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, "According to the records of the Imperial Hospital, the Queen's health has improved a lot. You have been busy taking care of the two princes, and you have neglected to teach your own palace people. In my opinion, the affairs of the six palaces should be handed over to the Queen, and you, the Imperial Concubine, should take care of Cuiwei Palace first."

Concubine Ge's breath was choked, and she felt furious. Just a few words made her lose the power to assist in managing the six palaces that she had held in her hands for more than ten years. It was all because of Xue Zhiyi, all because of this cunning little bitch!

An Zhaoyi was secretly excited about her victory over Concubine Ge today, but suddenly she heard the Queen Mother calling her, "An Zhaoyi."

She bowed quickly: "I am here."

"I am worried that the Queen will have trouble handling palace affairs alone. It won't be long since you were conferred the title of Zhaoyi. You should visit the Queen more often, learn a little from her, and help her out a bit."

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. An Zhaoyi was delighted: "Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Xue Zhiyi watched, and she probably guessed that the Queen Mother wanted to use this incident to weaken Concubine Ge's power in the harem, and let the Queen and An Zhaoyi share power with her, so as to check and balance each other and break the situation where Concubine Ge was the only one in power.

Concubine Ge almost wanted to vomit blood. She suffered such a great loss today. For a lowly maid like Xue Zhiyi, she lost Yun Xue, who was loyal to her, and hurt Ge Yuanhui's face. She also lost the right to assist in managing the six palaces, and let An Shi get the benefits for nothing!

He glanced at Xue Zhiyi who was sitting there quietly. He was so calm and indifferent, as if not a drop of blood had stained his body.

She suffered such a great loss, but that little bitch Xue Zhiyi was unharmed!

She has never suffered such injustice in all these years in the palace... When her Chong'er inherits the throne, she will make sure Xue Zhiyi dies a miserable death!

At this moment, the eunuch who had just escorted Yunxue came hurriedly: "Empress Dowager!"

"What's wrong?" Huo Wuyou asked him with a frown.

I only heard the eunuch say, "Empress Dowager... just now when the servants were escorting Yunxue, she suddenly broke free from us and hit her head on the stone steps... and died."

“What…” The continuous blows made Concubine Ge a little dazed, tears falling down: “Yunxue she…”

In order to preserve Cuiwei Palace and avoid torture, she chose to commit suicide.

Xue Zhiyi sighed calmly: Yun Xue is a loyal and brave man, but it's a pity that his loyalty is used to harm others, what a pity.

An Zhaoyi still felt a little regretful. She had thought that since people are all flesh and blood, it would be quite lively if Yunxue couldn't bear the torture and confessed what the imperial concubine had done today.

Today's matter ended in such a hasty manner.

It was getting dark, and it was time for Xue Zhiyi to leave the palace.

Walking on the long palace road again, it was evening now, the sky was gloomy, and the palace road became dark and depressing.

I don't know why, even though I escaped unscathed today, deep down, I still feel a little uneasy.

She had to go back early, but at the moment, she had someone to wait for.

Following the palace maid who led the way, she pretended to be frightened and deliberately slowed down her pace.

Sure enough, just as she was about to reach the palace gate, Huo Wuyou called her.

"Xue Zhiyi, wait a moment."
