Jin Yuyan hugged the emperor's arm and sobbed:

"Oh~ Your Majesty, the prince of the Yu family forced his first wife to death. It can be said that he is completely inhumane. I have served you for many years and have witnessed your deep affection for the queen. Now, in comparison, he seems even more cruel. Although I am from the Yu family, I am ashamed of him!"

After hearing Jin Yuyan's words, the emperor believed it a little. He was indeed kind to his wife and the queen. Under his influence, Concubine Jia was very different from Li Yin.

"Yuyan, are you just going to watch me punish your mother clan, the Yu family?"

Well, this emperor is still the same emperor, and I can believe him with just a few words. But fortunately, he has not changed, otherwise I would not be able to cope with it.

Jin Yuyan snorted angrily, "Your Majesty, this was all done by the prince alone. The people of the Yu family are innocent. In my opinion, this time the criminal has entered the capital, it is a good opportunity to punish him, and besides..."

Jin Yuyan glanced at the emperor's expression, which was quite friendly. She took a box from the table, which contained ten thousand taels of silver notes in scattered pieces.

"I not only know that Prince Yu forced his first wife to death, but he also tried to bribe me to advise him to inherit the throne sooner, but I refused. These banknotes are evidence of his crime. I hope the emperor will not show mercy to me and severely punish Prince Yu!"

"I am yours in life and your ghost in death. I am your Consort Jia, the mother of the Fourth Prince and the two children in your belly. I will always be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the Aisin-Gioro family."

The emperor picked up a stack of silver bills and looked at them. He was moved by Jin Yuyan's loyalty. Yuyan was indeed sensible and was willing to risk ruining her own reputation in order to eliminate the treacherous minister.

He also believed that Yuyan had no other intentions towards him. After all, Yuyan took out all the money that Yu had given her, in bits and pieces, which made him feel heartbroken.

"Yuyan, if I punish Yu severely, you may not be able to be the Imperial Concubine after giving birth. You know, I want you to be the Imperial Concubine."

Jin Yuyan didn't care this time. She had a lot of money in her hands and a beloved son. The annual salary of the imperial concubine was just a drop in the bucket for her.

Yuyan's eyes were full of affection. She took the emperor's hand and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't care about these false names. You are the only one in my heart and eyes. As long as you are not deceived by the shameless Li Yin, I am willing to lose everything."

The emperor is a person who becomes more suspicious and less willing to give something to others the more they want it. Yuyan's attitude makes him feel even more guilty.

He thought about it and decided that he could only compensate Yuyan by considering her mother and family background.

He rewarded Yuyan's mother and sister who were temporarily staying in the capital with a mansion, and also granted her mother the title of a fourth-rank lady.

In order to prevent Jin Yuyan and several princes from being implicated, he ordered the father of the Minister of Personnel Jin Jian, the Minister of the Imperial Household Jin Sanbao, to recognize Jin Yuyan as his adopted daughter and raised the banner for the entire Jin family.

From then on, Kim Yu-yeon's external identity was no longer a tribute girl from the Yu clan, but a member of the Manchu Korean Kim clan of the Plain Yellow Banner.

Later, Yongsheng had a close relationship with his nominal uncle.

After Prince Yu entered the capital, the emperor issued three edicts in succession, accusing him of being disloyal and unjust, and said he was unworthy of being a minister. He also stripped him of his crown as Prince Yu and threw him into the Heavenly Prison.

Li Yin pleaded several times in prison, asking Jin Yuyan to come and see him, but Jin Yuyan refused with a faint smile.

Several ministers of the Yu family wrote to Jin Yuyan and sent a large amount of ginseng and silver notes, asking Jin Yuyan to intercede for the prince and rescue the Yu family.

Thinking of her own situation in her previous life, Jin Yuyan wrote a letter to Yu as a last resort for her.

Soon, Prince Yu's biological brother Li Shan submitted a secret memorial, saying that Li Yin was not of the royal blood of the Yu family, but that the wet nurse had swapped the son born to the Queen Mother with the wet nurse's son.

In the secret memorial, Li Shan also stated that all of Li Yin's evil deeds were committed by him alone and not the intention of the entire Yu family, and asked the Qing Dynasty to severely punish Li Yin.

Yu was sincere and willing to increase the annual tribute, but she only asked the emperor not to vent his anger on her.

When the emperor received the secret report, he sneered. Both parties knew that Yu had abandoned Li Yin, so he just wanted to save Yu's face.

On the eve of Jin Yuyan's delivery, the emperor ordered Li Yin's brother Li Shan to succeed the throne of Prince Yu, and returned Li Yin to the Yu family to be dealt with by his wife's mother's family.

Later, news came that Li Yin was castrated by his first wife's mother. He was tied up and made to kneel in front of his first wife's grave, where he was whipped every day and became like a madman.

In less than half a year, Prince Yu died.

At this point, the case of Prince Yu came to an end.

On the second day after Prince Yu was dealt with, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yu, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ling and Concubine Qing all came to Qixiang Palace to comfort Jin Yuyan.

In order to cheer up Yuyan, Xiyue brought Shuangxi over to perform magic tricks and coaxed Jin Yuyan by saying:

"Don't worry. From now on, if anyone dares to discuss your mother's family in the palace, I will let Shuangxi slap him in the face."

As he spoke, he gave her a black fox fur cloak that Lord Gao Bin had brought in.

"Look, I can't even bear to wear this cloak myself, so I'm giving it to you."

Jin Yuyan's eyes lit up: There is such a good thing.

Her eyes were filled with joy, and there was no trace of sadness at all.

Lu Muping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Concubine Jia was fine. She picked up the cantaloupe on the table and took a big bite. It was so sweet.

Because she and Yihuan had a good relationship, the two of them asked the Queen for permission, and Mu Ping moved to Chengqian Palace to live with Yihuan. The two were always inseparable.

Seeing that Jin Yuyan was about to give birth, Yihuan said enviously:

I have always been in poor health, and I don’t know when I will be able to have a child of my own.”

When Lu Muping heard Yi Huan sigh, she felt that the melon in her hand was no longer sweet. She said worriedly:

"Yihuan, you eat less than one-third of what I eat every day. Your wrists are so thin that they sway when you clench them. You should take care of yourself first, as you are so thin."

Yi Huan's cold face was tinged with warmth. She knew that Mu Ping really loved her.

"I have had a weak constitution since I was young, but I have been pampered for so many years, so the symptoms are not obvious. Whether or not I can have children depends on fate. I will not force it."

Jin Yuyan saw a trace of guilt flash across Yan Wan's face. This expression was the same as when she looked at Yan Wan. She thought that Yan Wan might have been involved in the affairs of Yi Huan and the Tenth Prince in her previous life.

Before everyone was leaving, Yuyan still asked Zhenshu to follow Mu Ping and Yihuan to Chengqian Palace, and taught Mu Ping how to make medicinal food that nourishes yin and replenishes the kidneys, so as to slowly recuperate Yihuan.

Yan Wan was the only one left. She looked at Jin Yuyan proudly. Humph, she knew that Jin Yuyan was heartless and would never be heartbroken for that Prince Yu in this life.

Although she was also worried about Jin Yuyan, after all, she was carrying twins in her belly. If she was stimulated to give birth prematurely, her life might be in danger.

Yan Wan's eyes could not deceive anyone. In her previous life, half of these eight and nine children died at her hands. In this life, before they were born yet, Yan Wan naturally felt guilty.

Seeing Yanwan's worry, Jin Yuyan tapped her nose and held her hand to persuade her:

"Okay, okay, I'm not like you. I was held hostage even when I was giving birth. Don't worry, I know the Queen Mother won't let Ruyi go."

Yan Wan heard that Jin Yuyan was talking about her first childbirth in her previous life, so she turned around.

"Well, I came to comfort you, but you teased me. I shouldn't have come to see you. You are a grown-up, but you are still so mean."

Jin Yuyan realized that she shouldn't have mentioned Yanwan's sad story, so she stood up and hugged Yanwan.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I apologize to you, okay? I got a lot of silver notes from the Yu family this time. I'll give you half of it. You and I will be the richest people in this palace."

Jin Yuyan thought about it again and decided, forget it, it seems that Concubine Hui is still the richest person in the palace.

Jin Yuyan knew that Yan Wan still hadn't gotten over the knot in her heart about her children from her previous life. Except for Yong Yan, Yan Wan had never experienced any joy of mother-child relationship.

She didn't want to bring this up again and make Yan Wan sad.

In this life, she and Yan Wan are good friends, and the reason why people can become good friends is because they understand each other's nature and then help each other to succeed.

In the side hall of Qixiang Palace, Chen Wanyin and Hailan were happily sewing small clothes and hats for Jin Yuyan's children.

Although Jin Yuyan hinted many times that they could just sew the clothes like boys, Chen Wanyin refused to believe it. Could it be true that the twins didn't have a daughter?

She still resolutely sewed a few small skirts and thoughtfully embroidered butterfly patterns on them.

During the time she was in Qixiang Palace, Concubine Jia treated her sincerely. She would share half of any rewards with her and would even recommend her to sleep with the Emperor when he came to see the Fourth Prince.

Now she can serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber once or twice a month, all thanks to the kindness of the Empress and Concubine Jia.

Chen Wanyin was grateful and painted several portraits of the Empress and Concubine Jia. Unexpectedly, the Empress returned the favor by showing them to the Emperor.

The emperor therefore thought more highly of her and promoted her to the position of concubine.
