Yun Zhining shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I am afraid that once the decree of making me a consort is announced, I will become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others."

"Don't worry, with the emperor here, no one can hurt you."

The queen patted her hands, her eyes fell on Zhou Baozhu beside her, and said with a smile.

"Princess Zhou, you have accompanied and taken care of Concubine Yi all the way, doing your best without any regrets. The Emperor and I have seen it and remembered it in our hearts, so we have discussed it and sought the opinions of the two Empress Dowagers and decided to promote you to Shunyi."

"In the future, you must take good care of Concubine Yi and the eldest princess. As for the third princess and the fourth prince, you must also pay more attention to them and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Thank you for your advice, Queen. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect Queen Yi, the eldest princess, the third princess, and the fourth prince."

"Okay, okay, Concubine Yi, with you by my side, the Emperor and I are relieved, and the two Empress Dowagers can also rest assured."

"Okay, I still have some things to do in Fengyi Palace, so I'll go back first. I'll come to see you in a few days when I'm not busy."

"You are too polite, Queen. Although I am blind, my hands and feet are still intact and I can ride in a sedan chair. I will definitely go to Fengyi Palace to pay my respects to you tomorrow."

"Okay, there's really nothing I can do about you."

The two of them acted out the show to each other for a few times before the queen took her people away.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Yun Zhining slowly sat down with the support of Qingzhu.

"Baozhu, do you feel something is wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it's very wrong."

"Logically, Dong Ling should have been the one to announce the decree, but the emperor sent the queen instead. Where is Dong Ling?"

Dong Ling, he...

At this moment, he was leading people to Concubine Shu's bedroom.

At this time, Concubine Shu didn't know that Yun Zhining had transformed into Concubine Yi, and was only one step away from her. She didn't even know that she was about to face a disaster, and was still complacent.

"Hahaha, you deserve it!"

"In order to curry favor with Empress Dowager Xiaoci, Yun Zhining actually attacked Prince Consort Wei. What a pity! Although Princess Lin'an believed her, her son hated Yun Zhining because of this incident. He rejected her in public and made her blind again."

"Nice job!"

"If I wasn't worried about exposing my identity, I would have wanted to give Wei Peng a big gift to thank him for getting rid of this big threat for me."

Shufei's personal maid shook her head when she heard the voice.

"Your Highness must not take it lightly now."

"Although Ming Xiurong is blind, she almost lost her life in order to save the emperor. When she was forced to stay in the small town to recuperate, she was ridiculed and assassinated. The letters she wrote were intercepted and never delivered to the emperor. With all these factors added up, the emperor must feel guilty about her."

"If we do something to her now, it would be terrible if the emperor finds out."

"Your Majesty, why don't you calm down for a month or so? After the New Year, when the Emperor's focus is on government affairs and the concubines in the harem begin to compete for his favor, we can find someone to kill Ming Xiurong in one blow."

"Then we can stir up trouble and make all the high-ranking concubines without children compete for the eldest princess, the third princess, and the fourth prince. Then we can follow the trend and no one will suspect that we did it."

"Good girl, you are really smart."

"Okay, then let's do as you say. If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."

The maid nodded and was about to say something when she was interrupted by the sound outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Concubine Shu will receive it."

Concubine Shu didn't understand why, but she went out anyway. What if something good happened?

Her father has achieved very good political results in the past year, and her brothers have also performed very well. The emperor may be very pleased and want to reward her.

She was a noble concubine, rich and glorious, with countless rare treasures, so rewards were not something she was hungry for. However, the position of Madam was still vacant. If she could be successfully promoted to Madam, she might get pregnant after Yun Zhining died.

If she could be as lucky as Yun Zhining and give birth to twins, she would be able to surpass Madam Yin, who has no children, and Madam Lin, who has children but no future, and become the number one among the ladies.

A few years later, when Concubine Qi died, she became a concubine and competed with Concubine Zhou.

By then, if someone else were to kill the eldest prince, Concubine Zhou would surely be heartbroken, and might even die with the eldest prince. Then, she would frame the matter on the queen, and throw the blame for the deaths of Yun Zhining and Concubine Qi on the queen.

The queen has no children, her family background is not prominent, and she is not well regarded by the royal family members. With these three blames on her, she will definitely be deposed.

By then, she will become the new queen of Daye.

And her son is the crown prince of Daye and the future emperor.

When she thought of this, Concubine Shu quickened her pace and her face showed a bit more pride and excitement.

"The concubine accepts the order."

"Shufei Wang has been in the palace for many years, but she has no children. Jealousy grew, so she first sent someone to kill Yun Fulan's unborn child and framed the deceased commoner Ma. Then she deliberately set a fire during the autumn hunt in an attempt to burn Concubine Yi to death. Fortunately, Concubine Yi reacted quickly and put out the fire in time, thus avoiding a disaster."

"I have warned her many times, but she has committed many evil deeds and has not changed her ways. Seeing that Concubine Yi was forced to stay in the town, she sent people to assassinate her. She also intercepted the letters between me and Concubine Yi, and gave Empress Dowager Xiaoci drugs to make her sick, so as to delay my steps and prevent me from personally bringing people to the town to welcome Concubine Yi."

"He has a vicious heart and despicable means, which are outrageous. His crimes are too numerous to list."

"From now on, you will be deposed from your position as Consort Shu, demoted to a commoner, banished to the cold palace, and given a pot of poisoned wine."

"Those who carry out the crime at home will be sentenced to death. Those who know about it but do not report it will be put to death. The rest of the people, those over ten years old, will be exiled to the frontier, and those under ten years old will all be sent back to their hometowns and will not be allowed to set foot in Chang'an City for the rest of their lives."

"Within the nine clans of the Wang family, no one within three generations may participate in the imperial examinations or military examinations, and may not engage in business in prefectures above the county level. If anyone engages in business, they must withdraw within two months. Those who resist will be executed immediately. No mistakes will be made."

"etc,……"

Things turned around so quickly that Concubine Shu couldn't react for a while.

"Who is Concubine Yi?"

"When have I ever hurt Concubine Yi?"

"Why did the emperor kill my entire family and even destroy the royal family's retreat just because of a non-existent person?"

Dong Ling glanced at her and spoke slowly.

"Half an hour ago, the Emperor issued an edict to make Ming Xiurong his consort, and bestowed the title Yi."
