Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

After listening to the young eunuch's account of what happened on the way, Steward Wang walked into the palace with trepidation.

As soon as he saw the emperor, he knelt down in panic and kowtowed: "Your Majesty! I would never dare to harm my brother! This was all done by that hateful dog servant on his own initiative. I don't know who bribed him to dare to do such a treasonous thing behind my back!"

At this point, the truth is revealed.

Little Li had already collapsed to the ground in fear, begging for mercy while trembling all over, "Your Majesty, please have mercy! I...I was forced to do this! It was Ah Shuang beside Concubine Jia who forced me to do this. No, no, no...it should be said that she threatened me. I had no intention of doing this!"

At this time, Jiapin completely lost her mind, talking incoherently and shouting crazily.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I never meant that. It is obvious that these servants are deliberately framing me. Please believe me!" However, faced with the solid evidence in front of him, the emperor was already furious.

"Enough!" With a roar, the emperor's face was filled with anger, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

It was obvious that he was so furious that he could not contain himself.

Then, he gave an order without mercy: "Jiapin intends to murder the royal heir. Her crime is heinous and she must be executed immediately!" Before he finished speaking, the eunuchs on the side quickly stepped forward and dragged Jiapin away.

But she still struggled and shouted: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again!" However, it was too late, she was destined to escape the tragic fate.

Concubine Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: "Fortunately, I was not involved in this matter. What a blessing!" She couldn't help feeling a little lucky and proud, but at the same time she also realized that she had to be more cautious in the future.

After the emperor calmed down, he turned around, held the queen's hands tightly, and said softly with a loving look in his eyes: "Queen, you and Yonglian have suffered a lot because of this matter."

The queen responded gently: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my poor discipline. I will definitely rectify the order of the harem in the future."

After saying this, the Queen looked sharply at Concubine Gao beside her.

The emperor stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then announced: "Wei Yingluo, I order you to do your best to treat Yonglian. At the same time, the entire Imperial Hospital will be fined for one year, and the one named Liu Yang will be immediately expelled from the palace and never employed again!"

Then, the emperor continued in a stern voice: "In addition, Concubine Gao is forbidden to leave the palace for three months. The rest of the concubines listen carefully and restrain their own behavior. Including the people in your own palaces, they must also be strictly guarded! If something like this happens again, I will not forgive them easily!"

Concubine Gao nodded with a look of grievance and said, "Yes, I understand."

Upon seeing this, other concubines also expressed that they would follow the imperial edict and exercise self-discipline and self-reflection.

At this time, Wei Yingluo knelt down to accept the order and thanked him, but she deliberately showed an embarrassed look and said: "I will definitely do my best to cure the Second Prince, but it's a pity that the Second Prince has not received timely treatment and has been delayed for a long time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to fully recover."

The emperor's anger, which had just subsided, was ignited again. He widened his eyes and roared, "Absolutely not! The entire Imperial Hospital is Wei Yingluo's assistant! No matter what, you must cure Yonglian for me!"

Wei Yingluo knelt down and accepted the order without hesitation, and all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital responded in unison, saying that they would do their best to save Yonglian.

However, Er Qing, who was standing aside, was burning with rage in her heart.

She couldn't understand why she knew nothing about such an important matter, while Mingyu knew it all and didn't even say a word to her.

Now it seems that Wei Yingluo is obviously favored by the Queen. Not only that, she also saved the Second Prince's life. Maybe she will replace her position in the future.

However, Wei Yingluo was an expert in medicine after all, and if he acted rashly on her, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Er Qing could not help but fall into deep thought.

At the same time, Wei Yingluo was concentrating on acupuncture for the Second Prince. Her technique was skillful, and her movements were gentle and accurate. After a while, the acupuncture was completed, and not long after, the Second Prince slowly opened his eyes. Although he still looked very weak, he had woken up after all.

Seeing this, Concubine Gao thought to herself, "I didn't expect that this plan would fail, and I sacrificed Concubine Jia for nothing. What a pity! But I heard that the Second Prince could not fully recover, and I felt a little relieved."

Concubine Gao recalled what Concubine Jia said about this thunder god vine. It would not be a problem if it was discovered by the Imperial Medical Bureau, because if one had been poisoned, even if he was cured, he would lose his fertility and would definitely lose the chance to inherit the throne. After all, it was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to let a person without heirs be in charge.

Thinking of this, Concubine Gao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She thought to herself: "So what if I'm under house arrest? As long as I can get rid of this thorn in my side, everything will be worth it." At this moment, she seemed to have seen a bright future.

At the same time, the queen was standing by her son Yonglian's bed with tears in her eyes.

When Yonglian slowly opened her eyes, the queen was so excited that she almost cried out.

"Yonglian, you finally woke up! How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" The queen held her son's hand tightly and asked with concern.

The emperor also hurried over. He walked quickly to the second prince's bedside, and saw that his beloved son's face was as pale as paper, and his heart was broken.

"Your Majesty, I'm much better now." Yonglian looked at the worried look on his father's face and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Originally, he just pretended to be sick to scare those people with ulterior motives, but he didn't expect it to make him so worried.

The emperor looked at his sensible son, suppressed his inner grief, and said softly: "Good boy, you have suffered. Don't worry, I will never let go of those who hurt you."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor's face became extremely gloomy. His eyes widened with anger and he gritted his teeth and said, "No! Jiapin dared to commit such a heinous crime. Her entire family must be punished!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Yonglian is not seriously injured at the moment. This punishment is too harsh and may cause unrest in the former dynasty!"

The Queen still felt uneasy. She felt a little reluctant about the Emperor's decision to execute Concubine Jia, but she had no choice but to do so in order to give a warning to all the concubines in the palace.

"Empress, you are always so kind and considerate. Well, if that's the case, you all should remember this. If anyone dares to plot against the law and attempt to murder the heir to the throne, I will punish them severely and even punish their entire clan! I will never tolerate it!"

The emperor sternly warned all the concubines present.
