The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"Wei Jieyu, you just said that I instructed you to tamper with Empress Dowager Xiaoci's tonic. Then may I ask when, where, and under what circumstances did I instruct you to do so? Who was around you at the time? Who can prove that I did this?"

"On July 18, after the Sixth Prince's third-day bathing ceremony, you found me and told me that the Emperor liked the Sixth Prince very much and might make him the Crown Prince in the future. By then, Xiuyi and I would be the Empress."

"You are unwilling to let He Xiuyi ride on your head, and you are even more unwilling to let the Sixth Prince suppress the Fourth Prince. Princess Jianping, who has always followed Princess Chang'an's lead, is higher in status than Princess Chang'an, so you came up with this idea, using the Sixth Prince's birth date to cause chaos in the palace, and then pointing all the spearheads at the Sixth Prince, forcing the Emperor to drown the Sixth Prince."

"You have failed the Empress Dowager Xiaoci's love for you, failed the Emperor's trust in you, and even failed He Xiuyi's reliance on you."

"So even if I risk my life today, I will expose you and let the Emperor and Empress Dowager Xiaoci see clearly the vicious heart beneath your beautiful face."

"Clap clap clap!"

Yun Zhining couldn't help but applaud.

"What Concubine Wei said is indeed well-founded. However, you seem to have forgotten that on July 18, after the Sixth Prince's third-day bathing ceremony, Concubine An and I personally sent the Sixth Prince to the Bishui Palace and handed him over to He Xiuyi. After we had a meal at the Bishui Palace, we went to the Imperial Study to serve the Emperor. Everyone in the Imperial Study can attest to this."

"Then may I ask, what extraordinary ability do I have that I can create a second me to meet you, and then instruct you to drug the Empress Dowager Xiaoci, thereby causing chaos and getting rid of the Sixth Prince?"

"Moreover, I personally delivered He Xiuyi that day, and I also personally reminded An Zhaoyi and He Xiuyi to be on guard against someone taking advantage of the fact that the Sixth Prince was born on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to affect the Sixth Prince's reputation."

"The Emperor also knows this."

Qi Yejing, who was called, nodded slowly.

"After I finished my morning court session, I learned that He Xiuyi gave birth to the Sixth Prince at midnight on July 15th, so I took Dong Ling and others to visit He Xiuyi at the Bishui Palace. He Xiuyi told me in person that Concubine Yi had warned me about this matter, and begged me that if someone really used this matter to slander the Sixth Prince and attempted to kill him, I must not believe it."

Concubine Wei: ???

"Since the emperor already knew about this matter, why did he personally order the drowning of the Sixth Prince that day?"

"Did you see the Sixth Prince drowned?"

Wei Jieyu:!!!

"so,……"

Qi Yejing ignored her and turned his head to look at Dong Ling, a little irritable.

"Didn't I ask you to send someone to the Bishui Palace to invite He Xiuyi? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside.

"The Heshi of Bishui Palace and the Zhaoyi of Changyuan Palace request to see the Emperor."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaoyan has arrived, the Empress Dowager Xiaoci has arrived, and the Princess of Lin'an has arrived."

I don’t know whose name I heard, but Concubine Wei’s pupils suddenly shrank and a trace of guilt appeared on her face.

However, this trace of guilt soon disappeared, and it seemed that no one noticed it.

"My son, please send my regards to your mother. May your mother be blessed with peace and blessings."

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness."

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

As soon as Empress Dowager Xiaoci sat down, she spoke.

"I heard that Concubine Zhe has caught the murderer who has kept me bedridden for months. I wonder who is so bold as to poison me?"

Yun Zhining bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"Your Highness, it's Concubine Wei."

"No, that's not the case, Empress Dowager. It was Empress Yi who ordered me to murder you. Empress Yi forced me to do all this. If you want to blame someone, blame Empress Yi. Don't blame me. Don't blame me!"

"Snapped!"

A slap interrupted Concubine Wei's heart-wrenching roar. She covered her face and looked in disbelief at Empress Dowager Xiaoyan who attacked her.

"Aunt, you hit me?"

"You actually hit me for Yun Zhining!"

"I hit you!"

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan shook her arms and snorted coldly.

"Don't think I don't know. You wanted to harm me in the beginning, but you saw that my defenses were tight and you couldn't do it, so you had to settle for the next best thing and attack Empress Dowager Xiaoci."

"I have warned you many times, both openly and secretly, but you still refuse to change. I can only sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice."

"Killing relatives out of righteousness?"

Concubine Wei finally reacted.

"So, today is not my bad luck, but you set a trap on purpose to catch me in the act?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Concubine Zhe went to Xiaohe Palace on the orders of Yun Zhining, and Yun Zhining found Concubine Zhe on the orders of Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and asked her to do this.

Although Concubine Zhe didn't understand why Yun Zhining found her out of the blue, since she had been given such a good opportunity, she would be a loser if she didn't seize it.

Concubine Wei first curled the corners of her lips, then slowly smiled, and then, she laughed out loud.

"I was wondering why it was so smooth when I took action today. It seems you had dug a trap long ago, waiting for me to jump in."

"Well, you are worthy of being my good aunt. You are so kind to me. You know what I want, but you refuse to give it to me and let me get it myself."

"He clearly knew there was a fire pit ahead, but he was unwilling to warn me and instead watched me jump into it."

"You are very good, really very good!"

"How could my father have such a ruthless sister like you? How could I have such a vicious and cruel aunt like you?"

"You are firmly seated on the throne of Queen Mother, enjoying great honor and favor, yet you are unwilling to support your own niece. Why are you so selfish? Why can't you see others doing well?"

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan snorted coldly.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Persuade the Emperor to make you the Queen?"

"Persuade the emperor to give you a prince?"

"Then let you become the second me by virtue of your son's status as a mother, and continue the glory and elegance of the Wei family?"

"Otherwise, if you can become the Queen Mother, why can't I?"

"How am I inferior to you? How am I inferior to Zhou? Why can Zhou become the queen and you can become the queen mother, but I can't be the queen or the queen mother?"

"Why?"
