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

Yu immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "I don't know how I have offended Concubine Wan, to let her humiliate me like this!"

Zhen Huan didn't expect that the palace maid actually lied, but then she realized that she was framed.

She could only look at Yixiu and said very seriously: "Empress, I am innocent! I have never laid a finger on any of the women in the imperial court!"

Shen Meizhuang also quickly knelt down to plead for Zhen Huan, "Empress Dowager, Consort Xian, Wan Changzai has a gentle temperament and has no grudge against Yu Shi. How could she possibly slap her in the palace?"

Concubine Hua sneered, staring at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Why? Is Concubine Shen with Wan Chang today? How do you know whether she has ever beaten anyone?"

Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua looked uncomfortable for a moment and lowered her head guiltily.

Yixiu asked calmly, "Wan Changzai, do you have any concrete evidence to prove that you didn't beat any of the Yuguan women?"

This put Zhen Huan in a dilemma. At that time, there were indeed only herself and Yu Shi on the palace road, plus the people who served them, but these people's testimonies were not counted.

Concubine Hua smiled. This Zhen Huan monopolized the emperor's favor every day. It was time to teach her a lesson.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled complacently, "Empress, since Wan Changzai can't produce any evidence, then it can only mean that she really beat Yu Guannu. Yu Guannu may be of low status, but Wan Changzai beat her for no reason, which is really against the rules! Please, Empress, make the decision and correct the palace rules!"

Yixiu frowned slightly, but she still looked at Zhen Huan in front of her calmly and did not respond to Hua Fei's words.

Concubine Hua was a little anxious and wanted to urge Yixiu, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Wait a minute! Concubine Wan is innocent. I can prove her wrongdoing!"

After hearing the voice, everyone couldn't help but look towards the door, and saw Gui Changzai, wearing a light blue Manchu dress, standing outside the door and shouting.

She was holding a little boy in her hand, and it was the Fourth Prince Hongli.

Yu's face turned pale. Wasn't Concubine Gui always worshipping Buddha and never leaving the house? Why did she suddenly appear here today, and keep saying that she wanted to testify for Zhen Huan?

Hua Fei's expression was also very ugly. Her face was stiff and her tone was a little cold.

"Hasn't Concubine Gui been ill for a long time? What are you planning to do by bringing the Fourth Prince here so early in the morning?"

The new concubines who entered the palace looked at this Concubine Gui with great curiosity. They heard that this Concubine Gui was the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, but she seldom went out and only worshipped Buddha in the Buddhist temple every day.

Gui Changzai took Hongli to Yixiu and bowed respectfully to Yixiu and everyone else.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort, and Her Majesty the Hua Consort!"

Yixiu smiled slightly and said, "Gui Changzai, please stand up. Just now you said you could prove Wan Changzai's innocence. I don't know what you meant by that!"

Gui Changzai winked at Hongli beside her, indicating that he should explain in person to Yixiu and others.

The young Hongli was very well-behaved. He bowed politely and then said, "I have been feeling unwell these past few days, so I have been resting in the palace and not going to the study. Today I feel a little better, so..."

Hongli hesitated to speak, which made Gui Changzai, who was kneeling beside him, very anxious. She pinched Hongli hard and scolded him, "What did you say to me just now, kid? You are mute again!"

Hongli's expression visibly shrank. He started to cry out of fear, saying, "Today I wanted to sneak out to play, but I didn't expect to hear their conversation in the corner. That Yu Gong girl first provoked Wan Changzai, but Wan Changzai didn't hit her! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Hongli became more and more frightened and cried even more sadly.

Yixiu couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Hongli like this. As a mother, she couldn't bear to see her child like this.

"Jianqiu, quickly help the Fourth Prince up. Concubine Gui, the Fourth Prince is still young, why are you hitting him?"

Yu didn't expect that someone actually saw it, but she could only grit her teeth and refuse to admit it.

"Fourth Prince, how can you talk nonsense at such a young age? When did I ever provoke Concubine Wan? It was clearly Concubine Wan who hit me on purpose. Empress, please believe me!"

Hua Fei's eyes were filled with anger. What had happened these days? What should I do? Why was nothing going well?

She was already angry about what happened to Concubine Xin, and now with all the new and old grudges added up, she started to yell at Concubine Gui:

"You are so bold, Concubine Gui, what are you thinking of deliberately instructing a child to lie? The Fourth Prince must have many people following him. How could he sneak away alone?"

Although Hua Fei's attitude was a bit arrogant, what she said made sense.

Gui Changzai did nothing every day except take care of the Fourth Prince. How could she not know that such a big child was missing and let the child sneak away?

Gui Chang was stumped by the question for a moment. She was just a palace maid and had no knowledge. Hua Fei was angry and could only glare at the Fourth Prince.

"Hongli, come here and tell Mother what you saw! Speak up, you child!"

Gui Changzai's harsh rebuke frightened Hongli, who had just been coaxed by Jianqiu, and made him burst into tears again.

"Mother, I didn't lie! I really saw it, I didn't lie, Empress Mother!"

Yixiu could no longer suppress her temper. She slammed the teacup to the ground and shouted, "How dare you! Shut up!"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Gui Changzai couldn't help but shiver.

But when she thought about what would happen in the future, she still gave herself courage.

This Wan Changzai will have great fortune in the future. For the sake of Hongli's future and her own second half of life, she must tie this Wan Changzai tightly.

"Your Majesty, Hongli and I really didn't lie. The child really saw it. He's so young, how could he lie?"

Yixiu turned her gaze to Gui Changzai, and she could see all the little thoughts in Gui Changzai's eyes.

Yixiu originally thought that Hongli would be well taken care of if he stayed with his biological mother, but she did not expect that Li Jingui's background and vision would make Hongli like this.

Yixiu sighed, her eyes gradually softened, she looked at Hongli with a smile and waved to him.

"Come, Hongli, good boy, come to the Empress Dowager. She has something to ask you! Don't be afraid, just tell her. She will make the decision for you!"

Yixiu's voice was very gentle, and in Hongli's heart it sounded like the sound of nature.
