Concubine An's body went limp and she fell to the ground, unable to utter a word.
He Fei took a step back and looked at her with a very sad look.
"why?"
"Concubine An, you are the one I trust the most in the entire harem. Why do you treat me like this?"
"How have I wronged you that you want to hurt me like this?"
"You caused me to have a difficult childbirth, stirred up trouble in the palace, and tried to kill my son. You also watched helplessly as Nanny Cheng instigated your daughter to push my daughter into the lake."
"If the Queen hadn't been smart and figured out the conspiracy long ago, and hadn't been kind and done her best to protect my son, and if my daughter hadn't been so careful and sent someone to tell me before she left, and I hadn't been worried and secretly followed her, no one would have known she was dead."
"Princess An, tell me, why do you do this to me?"
"This in the end is why?"
Concubine An slowly raised her eyebrows and looked at her coldly.
"You really want to know?"
"Yes, I want you to tell me in person."
"Okay, since you want to know so much, I will be merciful and tell you."
"From the beginning, I approached you just because I wanted you to protect me from the harem's attacks and help me give birth to a child smoothly."
"So in my eyes, you have always been a tool, not my good sister at all."
"Tools are meant to be used, of course, and how I want to use them is up to my heart."
"Now, do you listen carefully and understand?"
"An Fei, you are not a human being. You are so cruel and ruthless. You will not die well."
Concubine He rushed forward to fight with Concubine An, but was stopped by Princess Jianping.
"Mother, there is no need for you to be sad because of this kind of person. This will only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy."
"Yes!"
Yun Zhining nodded and winked at her playfully.
"Although Concubine An betrayed your trust, I have always treated you as a good sister, and you have been good to Jianping and the Sixth Prince, so there is no need for you to be sad because of someone like Concubine An."
"Without her, you still have me, you will never be alone."
"Thank you, Queen, thank you so much."
Seeing that Concubine He had calmed down, Princess Jianping looked at Yun Zhining with gratitude.
"Empress, to be honest with you, at first Fourth Sister just wanted to teach me a lesson, and didn't want to kill me. The reason she pushed me into the lake was because I suspected that Concubine An had planned for the Empress to have smallpox."
"What did you say?"
Qi Yejing could tolerate what happened before, but what Princess Jianping just said concerned Yun Zhining's life and death, so he immediately took it seriously.
"Princess An, is what Jianping said true?"
Now that things have come to this, Concubine An no longer wants to deny it.
"That's right. The reason why the Queen got smallpox was all planned by me."
"Some time ago, a child got smallpox and died. Doctor Zhang gave his parents some money and bought a piece of clothing that the child had worn and gave it to me."
"I pretended to be sick to attract Concubine He and Princess Jianping to visit me, and then let the Fourth Princess touch the dress for a few days in advance, and then let her bump into Princess Jianping and infect her with smallpox."
"Then, under the pretext of apologizing, I asked Concubine He and Princess Jianping to deliver the gifts to Qingning Palace, and took the opportunity to infect Yun Zhining."
"Sure enough, my plan was successful. Yun Zhining really got smallpox."
"But I never expected that even though she knew she would die if she got smallpox, Zhou Baozhu still resolutely decided to go in and take care of Yun Zhining. Your Majesty, regardless of your own safety and the requests of all the officials, stayed in Qingning Palace to take care of Yun Zhining in person, and even announced the decree to make her the queen in public just to bring good luck."
"What's so good about her? Why don't you choose me instead of her?"
"what is this?"
"Why exactly?"
Concubine An screamed heartbreakingly, but Qi Yejing did not show the slightest sympathy.
"Because Aning is kind, she would never take the initiative to plot against others, nor would she do anything to children. Moreover, she puts my life above hers and is willing to sacrifice her own life for me."
"She's so good to me, so I have to be good to her."
"The road to becoming an emperor is very lonely and cold. I hope she will accompany me, sleep in the same bed and die in the same grave, for all eternity, never to be separated."
"So, you have already decided on Yun Zhining."
"It is my fault."
"Big mistake."
"Oh no, oh no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince committed suicide!"
"What did you say?"
Concubine An rushed towards the eunuch who reported the news, grabbed him by the collar, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Why would my son commit suicide out of nowhere?"
"The Third Prince learned that you almost killed the Queen and Princess Jianping, and he felt ashamed to face them in the future. He also learned that he was the son of you and Prince Rong, not the Emperor's son. He didn't know how to face the Emperor in the future, so,..."
"He committed suicide by taking poison!"
"puff!"
With her hopes shattered, Concubine An could no longer bear it. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Today is the most chaotic day in the harem of the Jianyuan Dynasty. The truths that have been buried for seven years have surfaced and everyone is shocked.
Concubine An committed many evil deeds and was guilty of many crimes; she could not escape death.
Zhang Pin was an accomplice and was guilty of the same crime.
Nanny Cheng was beaten to death in public.
The fourth princess and the tenth prince were sent to live in the imperial mausoleum and were never allowed to return to the palace for the rest of their lives.
Qi Yejing found a lot of letters between Concubine An and Prince Rong from Changyuan Palace. With the help of Yun Zhining, he found Prince Rong's hiding place and completely annihilated him, eliminating this hidden danger.
Ying was cleared of her grievances and promoted to the position of imperial concubine.
Hu should have been restored to the throne, but her previous position had already been taken by someone else, so Yun Zhining proposed to promote her to the rank of noble concubine as a reward for her.
Since Ying was a concubine, she was qualified to raise the fifth prince. However, after the decree of promotion was delivered to her, she rushed to Lin'an Palace in person to meet Yun Zhining and Qi Yejing, requesting to change the fifth prince's jade book to make him Concubine Hu's biological son.
Qi Yejing thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.
After Concubine Hu heard the news, she was very excited, and loved the Fifth Prince even more from then on. The people of the Hu family were also very grateful to Concubine Ying. Every time they sent something to Concubine Hu, they would prepare one for Concubine Ying, and they also tried their best to support Concubine Ying's father, brothers and relatives. The people of the Ying family also cherished this opportunity and improved the status and strength of the Ying family bit by bit.
After going through so many things, Qi Yejing was tired of the endless struggles in the harem, and he didn't want his children to become victims of the struggles, so he dismissed all the concubines who were not favored, and sought the opinions of the concubines who were favored but had no children. Those who were willing to go home were allowed to go home, and those who were unwilling to go home were sent to the temporary palace to enjoy their old age.
The remaining concubines in the harem became decorations because Qi Yejing had moved all his things to Yun Zhining's bedroom and ate and slept with her.
This incident caused a huge uproar. The harem protested and the court also reported it, but Qi Yejing had made up his mind and would not change it.
Eventually they had to agree.
The thirteenth year of Jianyuan passed in such chaos.
In the spring of the 14th year of Jianyuan, on the second day of the second month, the dragon raised its head and Daye held a grand ceremony to crown the queen. Yun Zhining officially became the queen of Daye and the mother of the country.
Because Zhang Wanru and Zhou had both lived in Fengyi Palace, and their endings were not very good, Qi Yejing did not let Yun Zhining live in Fengyi Palace, but rebuilt a Fengluan Palace as Yun Zhining's bedroom.
Qingning Palace was left for Xiao Pu Tao and others to live in.
In March, Yun Zhining held a spring banquet. The eldest prince fell in love at first sight with a gentle girl, and the second prince got to know a hot-tempered girl. Little Grape accidentally saw the girl's brother competing in archery with others, so she joined in. Unexpectedly, she lost to the girl's brother. She was not convinced and competed with the girl's brother everywhere. Unexpectedly, she got herself involved.
In April, Yun Zhining gave birth to triplets, the eleventh prince, the twelfth prince, and the eleventh princess. Qi Yejing gave them names and titles as soon as they were born.
The eldest prince became King of Ying, the second prince became King of Kang, and the fourth prince became King of Chu.
In October of the same year, the King of England married the niece of Concubine Hao. They lived a sweet life after marriage and gave birth to a little princess the following year.
In the second year after she came of age, Little Putao officially married Duan Qingfeng, the son of the Minister of War. In the second year after King Ying had a daughter, Prince Kang married Duan Qingfeng's sister and had a son. The son was as naughty as he was. He finally understood how irritable Concubine Lin was back then.
When the King of Chu was 25 years old, Qi Yejing passed the throne to him and took Yun Zhining out for a trip. When they passed by Jiangnan, they were reluctant to leave and stayed there for a year.
Then, the twelfth princess was born.
When the twelfth princess was just one month old, Qi Yejing sent her back to Chang'an City and handed her over to Xiao Pu Tao.
Although the twelfth princess has a pair of unscrupulous parents, she has a bunch of responsible brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. Her brothers and sisters take care of her, and her nieces and nephews grow up with her. She lives a happy life.
Sometimes when I see people around me acting like spoiled brats to their parents, I miss my unscrupulous parents a little bit. I wonder where they are now, whether they are happy or not, and when they will come back to see me.
[Well, the story ends here. It's a bit regrettable, but I have tried my best to write it. Maybe because few people read it later, I was a little impatient. The original one million words are now only a little over 600,000. Many people and many things are not written. Moreover, this is my first time to write a palace fighting story. There are still many places where I am not proficient. Please bear with me.]
[Along the way, there are many people who have accompanied me, commented, urged me to update, and gave me rewards. I also saw many familiar IDs following me chapter by chapter. I am really grateful to you. Thank you.]
[If we are destined to meet, I hope we can meet again in the next book.] [I wish you all good health, success, prosperity and good luck.]
