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

Zhen Huan cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, please don't do it!"

The Emperor looked at the aggressive Concubine Hua, then glanced at the weeping Zhen Huan. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "I am willing to believe that Concubine Wan is innocent, but this matter is of great importance. It is better to take the palace maids who served Concubine Wan to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation."

Concubine Hua smiled with satisfaction. She stood up, saluted the emperor, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise!"

She turned around and sternly said, "Come here, drag the maids and eunuchs serving Concubine Wan into the Ministry of Punishment! Torture them severely and make sure you get something out of them!"

If anyone who went to the Ministry of Punishment would be punished by having their skin peeled off, I didn't believe it. If they had tried all 72 punishments, even if Zhen Huan was innocent, what would it matter? If I didn't believe it, those people wouldn't change their words.

Zhen Huan was anxious. Liu Zhu grew up with her since childhood, and Concubine Hua was now going to trample her to death. If Liu Zhu entered the Ministry of Punishment, not only would Liu Zhu be doomed, but she would also be close to death.

In a hurry, Zhen Huan tore the cotton coat hard and actually tore a small hole. A secret letter was hidden in the small hole.

Zhen Huan burst into tears of joy. Holding her cotton coat high in the air, she stood in front of Liu Zhu and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is something inside this cotton coat. Your Majesty, there is something inside this cotton coat."

Everyone looked at the cotton coat held by Zhen Huan in shock. The emperor winked at Su Peisheng, who understood. He stepped forward, took the cotton coat and tore it apart with force.

With a "swish" sound, banknotes and a letter slipped out from the cotton coat.

Concubine Hua's face turned pale almost instantly. She stared at Zhen Huan, as if she couldn't believe that all this was happening.

Concubine Duan had a faint smile on her face, as if she had expected all this.

Zhen Huan quickly picked up the letter, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I was framed. From now on, I am clear on this matter."

The last sentence was said by Zhen Huan in a pitiful way.

The emperor's brows relaxed a little. He rubbed the beads on his hands and said softly, "Wan Changzai has been wronged. Su Peisheng helped Wan Changzai up."

Su Peisheng wanted to help Zhen Huan, but unexpectedly was rejected by Zhen Huan.

She handed the letter in her hand to Xiudong who was standing beside her, and glanced at Yixiu secretly.

"As the victim of this incident, I am not in a position to read this letter. I would like to ask Aunt Xiudong to read it for me."

Yixiu nodded and smiled at Xiudong.

Xiudong then picked up the letter and read aloud, "Dad, Mom, here is two thousand taels of silver. After you get the money, take your sister and brother and leave the capital immediately, and never come back.

If anyone claims to be from the palace, especially Concubine Hua and Concubine Bi, you must stay away from them, find an unfamiliar place, and change your name.

If you meet someone asking about your daughter, you must pretend not to know them. Your daughter is caught up in the palace struggle and cannot escape. Leave quickly and don't worry about her.

Concubine Hua's face changed drastically, and her voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "How dare you! This is a false accusation! How dare you frame me!"

Huipin said calmly, "Is this letter real or fake? Why not find the old letter from the palace maid Cai'er and compare it? Wasn't that the original letter written by the palace maid Cai'er?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua, who was slightly distracted. After a moment's pause, he said, "Su Peisheng, go and compare them!"

There is no doubt that both letters were written by the same person.

The emperor came down in person, and no one dared to sit down. They all stood up and knelt on the ground.

The emperor carefully compared the handwriting of the two letters. Finally, he tightly grasped the letter paper. Su Peisheng was closest to him, and he clearly saw that the emperor's hands were shaking with anger.

Concubine Hua even knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. She didn't understand why such a perfect plan suddenly turned out like this?

The Emperor suddenly raised the letter and slammed it hard in Hua Fei's face. He said angrily, "How dare you! What else do you have to say now?"

"Come here, pass on my decree. Concubine Hua, who framed a concubine in the palace, is under house arrest for three months and demoted to Concubine Hua. Concubine Bi, who falsely accused her former master, is a culpable person. She will be slapped in the face twenty times and demoted to a court lady."

He turned to look at the pitiful Zhen Huan and said with a wave of his hand, "Wan Changzai has been wronged in this matter. I will promote her to Wan Guiren."

After dealing with this matter, Yixiu was about to leave with Xiudong and Jianqiu, but was stopped by Concubine Duan.

"Could I go to the Queen's palace and sit for a while?"

Yixiu smiled gently and said meaningfully, "It's rare for Concubine Duan to be interested in going out. I welcome you."

Gyeongin Palace

There was no one around, so Concubine Duan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yixiu with a half-smile and said, "I would like to thank the Empress for her assistance in today's matter."

Yixiu narrowed her eyes slightly. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and chuckled, "Concubine Duan, I don't understand what you're saying. Concubine Hua and Concubine Bi framed Concubine Wan, and they've brought this upon themselves. What does this have to do with me?"

Concubine Duan raised the corner of her lips and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so clever, please stop playing tricks on me. This matter was indeed initiated by me. I deliberately caused the relationship between Wan Changzai and Noble Lady Bi to deteriorate, and secretly told Concubine Qi that Wan Changzai was unwilling to accept the favor.

When the relationship between Concubine Wan and Concubine Bi deteriorates, the two will inevitably fight for the Emperor's favor. Concubine Hua loves the Emperor deeply, so she will naturally take action.

Yixiu stared at Concubine Duan with a sharp gaze and asked, "Concubine Duan, you've said so much to me today. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to the Emperor?"

Concubine Duan smiled sadly, and her voice carried a hint of desolation and fearlessness.

"I have long been a living dead in this deep palace. Moreover, without the Empress's help, I would never have achieved my goal so quickly. Didn't Miss Xiudong find the letter in Cai'er's room today?"

Yixiu smiled brightly. After so many years, Concubine Duan had indeed made great progress.

Concubine Duan continued, "Concubine Hua has always looked down upon you, so it's only natural for you to do this. Concubine Hua and I have an irreconcilable feud, and I'd like to ask the Empress for a favor. Her Majesty, please just pretend you don't know. Don't worry about anything else. This is absolutely clean, and your hands won't get dirty."

Yixiu met Concubine Duan's deep eyes, pursed her lips, and asked, "I only need to stay silent to defeat an opponent. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan chuckled lightly, a hint of probing in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I do not deserve your thanks. After all, apart from Your Majesty, no one else in the harem has the ability to make things happen with just a flick of the wrist."
