I just want to live a happy life

But so what? Yi Xin didn't care.

Su Peisheng walked up to everyone and told them the results of the investigation.

The fact was just as Huanbi said. Even though it was late at night that night, many people saw Concubine Duan coming out of Yanqing Palace wearing a cloak. Even though she was hiding all the way and her face was not seen, the faces of the people around her were exposed.

The only person who could be carefully served by Jixiang was Concubine Duan.

Moreover, Su Peisheng had investigated clearly everything about what Wanpin said and did when she met Xiangpin and Duanfei in the Imperial Garden that day.

Suxi also confessed that he was Concubine Duan's man and helped Concubine Wan set fire to Suiyuxuan in order to frame Nian Yingying and get rid of her through him.

Everyone looked at her with mockery, contempt and disdain, which made Zhen Huan look ugly and angry.

Before Zhen Huan could explain anything, another person walked in from outside Chuxiu Palace. It was Yinxiu, the maidservant beside Concubine Xiang. With red eyes, she looked at the emperor and choked up and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang... Concubine Xiang has passed away."

Everyone was shocked. They knew that Concubine Xiang was ill, but they didn't expect to hear the bad news at this time.

Everyone looked at Concubine Wan again.

I understood it instantly. If it weren't for Huanbi's report, Zhen Huan's plan might have really succeeded.

Zhen Huan and Concubine Duan planned to burn down Yuxuan and let Suxi say that it was all done by Nian Yingying. Then, with the incident of Shen Meiyu being burned to death, the Emperor would surely be furious and deal with Nian Yingying according to Zhen Huan's wishes.

And at this time, Concubine Xiang passed away. Based on the emperor's guilt towards Zhen Huan, he might really let Concubine Duan raise Wen Yi.

What a good plan.

But man proposes, God disposes. Their plan did not succeed. It seemed that God could no longer stand it and exposed Zhen Huan's plan.

Zhen Huan is smart, but also stupid. She knows that she is not the only one living in Sui Yuxuan, but she still does not act more carefully.

Because of Xiangpin's death, Zhen Huan's calculations were completely shattered. Even if she explained again, no one would believe her and would just think she was quibbling.

"Your Majesty, I admit that burning down Yuxuan was a plan of mine and Concubine Duan, just to get rid of Nian Shilan. If it weren't for her, my child wouldn't have been in danger. How can I not hate Nian Shilan?"

"But it was not my fault that Sister Mei and Concubine Xiang had sex. It really had nothing to do with me."

At this time, Huanbi spoke again. She looked at Zhen Huan hatefully. If she had not allowed the servants of Shui Yuxuan to bully her and prevented the emperor from coming to her, she would not have lived such a miserable life.

Every day she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she had to be on high alert for those who might harm her. Why did she finally become a mistress, but now she lives worse than a servant?

She watched Zhen Huan being favored, and everything she ate, wore and used was better than her. All she had in her heart was jealousy and revenge. She kept an eye on her every day. The arrival of Concubine Duan finally gave her the opportunity she had been waiting for.

Fortunately, Cui'er reminded her that day, otherwise she would have really missed it. Zhen Huan, don't even think about escaping this time, she will definitely pin her down completely and she will never be able to get up again.

Seeing Zhen Huan's eyes finally showing fear, she felt very happy.

"Your Majesty, Wanpin is lying again. Hui Guiren's death was not an accident. It was Wanpin who did it. I saw with my own eyes that Hui Guiren was walking behind Wanpin and was hit, but Wanpin did not think of saving her."

Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat. How come Huanbi saw her giving up on Sister Mei? Now Zhen Huan really regretted why she didn't get rid of Huanbi when she regained favor. If she hadn't been there, her plan would have succeeded long ago.

You won't end up in such a situation.

"Your Majesty, I did not harm Sister Mei. You must believe me. I am not such a cruel person."

The emperor sighed and said in a deep voice: "Princess Wan, how can I trust you with all these things happening? These things happened too coincidentally. I never believed in so many coincidences."

What the emperor meant was that he didn't believe her. She admitted that she had a hand in all these things, but Concubine Xiang's death really had nothing to do with her. How could the emperor not believe her?

Without giving Zhen Huan any chance to argue, the emperor issued an order directly.

"Wanpin Zhen, you set fire to the palace and killed people. I am demoted to a concubine. After the Suiyu Pavilion is repaired, you don't have to live in the main hall anymore. I remember there is a small Buddhist temple in the back hall of Suiyu Pavilion. You can live there. In addition, you need to burn incense for Xiangpin and Hui Guiren, pick up Buddha beans, and copy the Sutra of the Rebirth of the Pure Land every day. You are not allowed to stop every day."

"And Concubine Duan, you will be demoted to Noble Lady Duan. From today on, I will have someone guard Yanqing Palace. She doesn't have to come out. Just like Zhen, I will set up a Buddhist temple in Yanqing Palace to pray for Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Hui."

"In addition, Su Xi was sentenced to death."

With these words, tonight's events were settled, and Zhen Huan no longer had the desire to explain anything further. It was over, everything was over.

Zhen Huan's face turned pale.

Seeing that the event was over, the emperor waved his hand and asked the concubines to leave. They were somewhat reluctant to leave as tonight was truly wonderful.

Concubine Qi's plan failed. The emperor did not stay in Chuxiu Palace, but went to Yanx Palace with Yi Xin as he had done originally.

When leaving, the emperor didn't even look at Zhen Huan and let her be taken away. Yi Xin had guessed his thoughts to some extent. From the moment he blamed Zhen Huan for Concubine Xiang's death, he had completely given up on her and would never care about her life or death again.

After returning to the Yanx Palace, the emperor had already rested while being waited on. After all, it was already very late after dealing with all the things tonight. However, Yi Xin came to the side hall, and Hong Yao had already fallen asleep.

She looked at him for a while, covered him with the quilt, and then returned to the main hall.

On the second day, after the morning court session ended, the emperor issued another decree, promoting Concubine Xiang to Concubine Xiang and Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui, and their funeral ceremonies were carried out according to the funeral ceremonies for concubines.

But the real reason for Shen Meizhuang's death was kept secret by the emperor. The Shen family only knew that Shen Meizhuang died of illness, and they didn't know what this had to do with Zhen Huan.

Of course Yi Xin would not let go of this opportunity. How could she let the Shen family be kept in the dark? Of course she had to tell them the truth.

As the funeral ceremonies of Concubine Xiang and Concubine Hui ended, the problem of Princess Wen Yi was brought to the surface. After all, Princess Wen Yi was still young and needed to find a foster mother to take care of her.

At this time, Concubine Jing began to think. She had never been favored since she came to the palace, and she had no children of her own. The night was long, and she didn't know how long she would have to endure in this deep palace.

If she could raise Wen Yi, she would have someone to accompany her in this deep palace, and she would definitely take care of Wen Yi as her own child.

So, Concubine Jing made the soup herself for the first time and sent it to the Yangxin Palace, hoping that the emperor would understand what she meant.
