Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

After An Lingrong left, Xiudong reported the recent situation in the palace to Yixiu.

"Empress, didn't you say that the person in the Plum Garden was Zhen Da Ying? I was far away at the time and couldn't see clearly, but I felt that the woman praying was steady and talented. How could Yu Da Ying be so frivolous?"

Yixiu glanced at him and said leisurely, "Such a fool, he won't be able to be proud for many days. Have you prepared the people that An promised to arrange?"

Xiudong lowered her head and replied, "Don't worry, Queen, those people are very tight-lipped. An promised not to let anyone know about practicing singing in private!"

Yixiu nodded, but still reminded him, "Zhen promised you guys to keep an eye on that side too. If there's any movement, report to me immediately!"

Xiudong replied: "Yes!"

Xiudong had just left when Jianqiu came over in a hurry.

When Jianqiu saw Yixiu, she immediately knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. I promised to tell Concubine Hua that Concubine Xin stole something bestowed upon her by the Emperor and will have her imprisoned in the Ministry of Discipline!

Xin Changzai reported this matter to the Imperial Concubine, but now, Hua Fei, relying on her deep favor from the Emperor and her brother's success in the previous dynasty, has publicly argued with the Imperial Concubine. Now that both sides have their own opinions, the quarrel is getting out of hand. Tao Ye, who is beside the Imperial Concubine, asked me to come and ask you to come!"

Yixiu was slightly stunned. She remembered that in her previous life, Yu Da Ying seemed to have framed Concubine Xin and had her locked up in the Ministry of Punishment.

"This Yu Ying is too arrogant! Concubine Xin is an old servant of the Emperor and the princess's biological mother. Although she is not favored, she is just a palace maid. How dare she be so excessive!"

Huichun said angrily.

Yixiu pondered for a moment, then took Jianqiu and Huichun to Xin Changzai's palace.

Along the way, Yixiu felt something was wrong. How did Concubine Hua get involved in this matter?

According to Hua Fei's personality, she is unlikely to stand up for a small promise!

Chuxiu Palace

Xin Changzai was wearing thin clothes and kneeling on the ground, crying inconsolably.

"Empress Hua, I have truly never stolen anything bestowed upon me by the Emperor. I beg you to discern this! Empress Xian, I have served the Emperor for many years and have never harbored any ill intentions. Please save me!"

Concubine Xian's face was filled with rage, and if Tao Ye hadn't stopped her, she would have almost rushed forward to hit someone.

"Hua Fei, I promise you, since when have you two ever had the final say in this palace? Since you say Concubine Xin is stealing the imperial gifts, you should have compiled the evidence and handed this matter over to me and the Empress! Now you are abusing private punishment at every turn? Do you think I and the Empress don't exist?"

Hua Fei glanced at Yu Da Ying, who immediately rushed out like a vicious dog, pinching his throat and shouting:

"Empress Xian Guifei, now that we have all the evidence, are you trying to favor Concubine Xin? I know you have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, but now the evidence is irrefutable. Empress Hua has also imposed the punishment. You are trying to stop her. Are you instructing her?"

Concubine Xian was furious. No one in the palace dared to speak to her like that.

But then there was a loud slap, and Yu Da Ying was slapped in the face.

Yu Da Ying's face was filled with surprise. When she saw who it was, she was obviously panicked for a moment, but when she remembered that Concubine Hua was beside her, she also plucked up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, how can you punish me for no reason?"

Yixiu smiled coldly and looked down at Yu Daying from top to bottom, as if he was looking at an ant.

"I am the Emperor's legitimate wife, the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and the Crown Prince's biological mother. You only made a small promise. Why can't I beat you?"

Yu agreed and lowered her head in grievance. She turned around and looked at Hua Fei with hope, hoping that Hua Fei could make the decision for her.

But she had underestimated Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua coughed uncomfortably and reluctantly bowed to Yi Xiuxing: "Your servant pays respects to the Empress. Why is the Empress here?"

The others also hurried to pay their respects to Yixiu, but this time Yixiu did not say anything, just looked at everyone coldly.

"If I don't come soon, I'm afraid the harem will be in turmoil! Someone, find Concubine Xin a thick coat to wear! How come this palace has become a trial court?"

The palace maid Xin Chang was beside hurriedly took out a piece of clothing from the house and put it on her master.

Concubine Xin was not a sentimental person. She knew that now was not the time to cry, so she wiped away her tears and cried out to Empress Yixiu, "Empress, I am truly wronged! Today, Yu Ying brought a group of people without explanation and said that I stole something given to me by the Emperor! I have never been to her place at all, and those people turned my room upside down without listening to my explanation. Who knows where they found a jewelry box, and Yu Ying accused me of stealing it! I don't even recognize that thing. It is truly unjust!"

Hua Fei stood where she was, her tone carrying some depth, her voice rising several degrees.

"Xin Chang, what you're saying is really interesting. Could it be that this thing grew legs and ran into your room? There are so many places in the palace, but it chose to go to your room. It's really interesting!"

Yixiu couldn't stand Hua Fei's behavior, so she sneered and said, "Hua Fei, I'm still here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There's no need to be so sarcastic!"

Yixiu looked at Yu Yingda again and said, "Yu Yingda, you said Xin Chang was stealing and there was both witnesses and evidence. Where is all that evidence?"

Yu agreed to look at Concubine Hua again, and Concubine Xian scolded her, "The Empress is asking you a question, why are you always looking at Concubine Hua? After all, the Empress is the one who calls the shots in this palace!"

Yu agreed and bowed, then waved to a young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, this is Little Lizi from my palace. He found this in Concubine Xin's room. Little Lizi, please show the box to Your Majesty and tell me where you found it."

Little Li quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yi Xing, then explained, "I found this in Concubine Xin's closet. Concubine Xin had it wrapped in a handkerchief. I would never dare to lie!"

Xin Changzai panicked, "Your Majesty, I absolutely did not steal anything. Even if I did, why would I put it in such a conspicuous place like the closet?"

Yu agreed and said suggestively, "Maybe it was just stolen and there was no time to hide it. Didn't Little Leo say you wrapped it in a handkerchief?"

Yixiu slowly closed her eyes and gently raised her left hand to support her temples.

Jianqiu and Huichun stepped forward at the same time and slapped Yu Daying and Xin Chang in the face.

"Who dares to interrupt the Queen when she asks? This is the fate!"
