Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

The Empress felt that Yu Suisui was ungrateful on this level.

"Over the years, in the Prince's Mansion and Changchun Palace, haven't you been fed and clothed by me?" The Empress felt that it was only right for Yu Suisui to do things for her.

Not to mention that she didn't let Yu Suisui work for nothing; she even rewarded Yu Suisui.

Yu Suisui couldn't help but laugh at the Empress's matter-of-fact manner. "Your Majesty, is your dowry still with me?" In the Prince's mansion, everything she ate and lived in belonged to Emperor Qianlong.

After entering the palace, everything in Changchun Palace, including food and clothing, was provided by the Imperial Household Department; the Empress never provided anything on her own.

The only time the Empress bestowed a gift upon her was when she chose something that the Empress herself liked and sent it to her.

The purpose was simply to hope that when Yu Suisui wore it, Emperor Qianlong would see it and be reminded of her.

The Empress paused for a moment. "Consort Jing, what do you mean by that?" Her dowry was meant for her daughter and future daughter-in-law.

What right does Consort Jing have to spend her dowry?

"What I mean is, since Her Majesty the Empress didn't spend her own money to support me, how can it be said that Her Majesty the Empress provided me with food and drink?" Yu Suisui felt that this matter was easy to understand. Even if the Empress did provide special treatment, it wouldn't be her turn.

From childhood to adulthood, the original owner always received the same rations as a little maid, and never received any special treatment.

Empress: "You live in my courtyard, in my Changchun Palace, so how can you say that you don't eat and sleep under my roof? Consort Jing, don't be so heartless."

"Your Majesty, is the Prince's Mansion yours? Is the Imperial Palace yours?" Yu Sui asked more directly this time. Some people are like that; they know the answer, but they just don't want to admit it.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" The Empress slammed her hand on the table. "Consort Jing, don't think that just because the Emperor favors you now, you can say whatever you want to slander me." Consort Jing's words were utterly fabricated.

Seeing the Empress's exasperation, Yu Suisui said in a very calm voice, "Your Majesty, you said it yourself, so how did it become that I am a concubine you raised? I eat and live with the Emperor."

Having lived here for so long, I've come to believe this place belongs to her.

The imperial palace never belongs to one person, so how did Changchun Palace become the Empress's own?

She was only a temporary resident there.

Hearing Yu Suisui's sophistry, the Empress felt that she had become a morally corrupt person who was full of lies in order to deny her kindness.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to plead with the Emperor or not?" The Empress stared intently at Yu Sui, afraid of hearing what else Yu Sui might say.

Yu Sui Sui said calmly, "Your Majesty, you may not want to know, but before His Majesty left, he said that if Your Majesty were to make things difficult for me, someone would be dispatched at top speed."

"If Your Majesty the Empress thinks that killing me won't cause any harm, then perhaps the Emperor would order the entire Fucha clan to be buried with me?" Yu Suisui's last sentence was complete nonsense.

Before leaving, Emperor Qianlong did say that if the Empress made things difficult for him, he could talk to Gao Yuncong, and Gao Yuncong would send someone to speak to Emperor Qianlong.

However, she is taking advantage of the Empress's misunderstanding of Emperor Qianlong.

The Empress did indeed want to use the same trick again, but Consort Jing disagreed. She could use other methods to force Consort Jing to agree.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor had a backup plan.

After Yu Suisui finished speaking, she stood up and bowed politely: "Your Majesty, I take my leave."

After taking a few steps, Yu Suisui turned around and looked at the Empress. "Your Majesty, is Yuzhu's illness very similar to what I had back then?"

The original owner's illness was not an accident, but a result of human intervention.

Yu Zhu fell ill. After hearing Zhang Changzai's description and comparing it with the original owner's illness at the time, it's not hard to see that there is a connection between the two.

The Empress's upright back suddenly slumped. She was panicking. Would Consort Jing tell the Emperor? Or did the Emperor already know?

These two main characters do look quite similar.

The poison they use can all be the same type.

When Zhang Changzai saw that Yu Suisui had returned unharmed, he patted his chest repeatedly.

"You're finally alright." Zhang Changzai really wanted to go with them, but Yu Suisui wouldn't let her.

Yu Suisui smiled and comforted Consort Zhang: "I've said too much. I'm definitely fine. The Emperor arranged for people to protect me before he left." Perhaps he knew what the Empress was going to do, so he made arrangements in advance. Or perhaps he was worried about her and afraid that she might do something, so it was also a way of protecting the Empress.

It's quite surprising that Emperor Qianlong favored the Empress.

Zhang Changzai: "It's good that you're alright. You don't know, after what happened with Yuzhu, I was really afraid that Changchun Palace would take risks." After all, those people in Changchun Palace have all gone mad.

Yu Suisui reached out and took Zhang Changzai's hand. "Sister Zhang, the Empress has changed. She's not the Empress we used to know." It was still necessary to bring the Empress down from her pedestal.

Zhang Changzai was born into the Empress's family; environment can influence a person for a lifetime.

"I know." Consort Zhang was closer to the Empress than Consort Yu, so she heard more about her. She hadn't thought about those things before.

Over the past six months, she has been studying with her aunt and has gradually come to understand some things. The Empress is not the Empress that everyone talks about.

When Qianlong returned to the palace, Yuzhu was still alive, but barely clinging to life.

The first thing the Empress did upon seeing Emperor Qianlong was to beg him to spare Yuzhu's life.

"Your Majesty, what happened back then was my fault. I shouldn't have had such malicious thoughts. But Consort Jing is still alive!" The Empress thought that Consort Jing wanted to take revenge on Yuzhu because it was Yuzhu who had poisoned her.

Emperor Qianlong asked in shock, "What? How is this related to Consort Jing?"

The Empress thought that Qianlong was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she immediately knelt down and confessed that she had poisoned Consort Jing.

"I was just confused at the time. I just loved Your Majesty too much. Your Majesty told me that Consort Jing was beautiful and gentle. I was just jealous." The Empress said this now, without thinking that she was wrong.

She just wanted to save Yuzhu.

Emperor Qianlong was unaware of this matter. He genuinely believed that Consort Jing was ill. If it weren't for Consort Jing's ability to cheer him up later, and the matter of Yonglian, he would probably have forgotten about Consort Jing altogether.

Upon hearing the Empress recount the whole story, any lingering pity or past affection that Qianlong felt for Yuzhu, and any desire to let her go, vanished completely.
