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

Consort Xian coughed lightly and reminded, "Please be careful with your words, Concubine Qi. This matter involves the heir to the throne and is of no small importance. The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress are still here. Concubine Qi doesn't want to be punished for her inappropriate words and actions, right?"

Concubine Xian has always been strict, and now she has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. She said she would punish Concubine Qi. If Concubine Qi doesn't shut up, she will be punished immediately.

Concubine Qi laughed dryly twice and had to shut up.

After Concubine Qi was scolded, although the other concubines wanted to say something, seeing Concubine Xian's stern look, they kept their mouths shut.

The emperor had lost all patience and said to Su Peisheng, "Come here, drag this palace maid away. No matter what means, you must make her speak."

Su Peisheng responded: "I obey your order."

After saying that, he waved to the eunuchs below, signaling them to drag Lu'er away.

Lu'er finally reacted at this time. She stretched out her hand to Nian Shilan while crying, "My lady, this is all for you, my lady, please save me, my lady..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Huipin and others were even eager to try it.

Concubine Xian glared at them again, and only then did she suppress the concubines in the harem who wanted to speak.

But she couldn't stop the Queen Mother. She sternly said, "How dare you, Noble Nian! How dare you plot to murder the heir? I knew you were arrogant and jealous, but I didn't expect you to change. If that's the case, I can't keep you. The harem simply can't tolerate a woman as vicious as you."

Nian Shilan's face changed drastically. She pushed away Lu'er who was still pulling at her and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I tell you to? Tell me clearly."

Yixiu just watched Lu'er acting below. She looked very shocked and half fell to the ground, feeling very aggrieved.

"My lady, I am devoted to you. Others can beat or kill me, but you cannot. How could you treat me like this? I have no grudge against Ruda and I. Without your permission, how could I dare to murder the dragon heir in Ruda's belly!"

After saying this, Lu Er stood up and said to the Queen Mother, "Since Noble Nian is so heartless and disloyal, then don't blame me for being unfaithful. At this point, I can no longer hide anything for Noble Nian. Noble Nian has always been jealous. After learning that two concubines in the harem were pregnant, she was furious every day and wished to get rid of the two concubines' dragon fetuses as soon as possible.

One day at noon, Noble Lady Nian came to me and promised me many benefits, and asked me to put cinnabar in Ru Ying's food. Noble Lady Nian also said that Ru Ying had always been unfaithful and that it was normal for her to accidentally lose the child, and no one would suspect anything.

Yixiu spoke up before the Empress Dowager, "Since Noble Lady Nian has made up her mind to take the promised dragon fetus, why didn't she come up with a better excuse when she asked for cinnabar? There are many concubines in the harem who have gone to the Imperial Household Department to get cinnabar. Wouldn't this be too conspicuous?"

Nian Shilan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am truly wronged. I did not harm the child promised by your permission. I did not! Just as the Empress said, how could I be so foolish as to leave such a big handle behind?"

Lu'er cried aggrievedly, "Your Excellency, you asked me to make up any excuse to go to the Imperial Household Department to ask for cinnabar. But Your Excellency Nian has always been a man of final say in the palace, arrogant and overbearing. The people in the Imperial Household Department didn't dare to offend us. When they heard that I wanted cinnabar, they gave it to me without asking what it was for."

While crying, Lu'er accused Nian Shilan of another crime.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she threw the teacup beside her. "At this point, what else is there to say? Come on, take Concubine Nian away and banish her to the cold palace to be punished later!"

The Emperor still felt that there were some doubts about today's incident, so he spoke up to stop them, "Madam, I think there are still some doubts about today's incident. It would be better to interrogate her carefully before making any decisions. Let's first put Noble Nian under house arrest!"

The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Your Majesty, I know you've always cherished our friendship, but this Nian is simply too arrogant. Putting aside the question of whether or not she was the one who gave Ru the cinnabar, she's been so arrogant in the palace, taking things from the Imperial Household Department without restraint, a crime in itself. Are you still going to protect her?"

Without giving the Emperor time to react, the Empress Dowager directly ordered Zhuxi, "Spread my words, banish Consort Nian to the cold palace!"

The two palace maids outside immediately came in and wanted to drag Nian Shilan out from the ground.

Nian Shilan was already aware that she was being plotted against. She stood up from the ground, tears streaming down her sharp and beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do this. I entered the palace when I was a teenager and have been with Your Majesty for so many years. Isn't Your Majesty aware of my feelings for Your Majesty?"

After saying that, Nian Shilan turned around casually and followed the two palace maids out of the room.

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan's departing back, wanting to say something but hesitant, and finally glared at Lu'er fiercely.

Although today's incident seems to have solid evidence, it is full of doubts.

Lu Er shuddered subconsciously, took two steps back, and rushed towards the pillar, crying out: "I know that my crimes are heinous, and I beg the emperor to grant me death."

The emperor's face changed, but it was too late for him to speak and ask someone to stop him.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Xiudong plucked a pearl flower from her head and hit it in the direction where Lu'er was running.

Xiudong was so strong that he knocked Luer to the ground.

The situation was urgent and she had no time to apologize to the emperor and the empress dowager, so she quickly stood up and ran to Lu'er, pressing Lu'er's acupoints, making her unable to move.

After finishing all this, Xiudong knelt on the ground and apologized to the emperor and the queen mother:

"This happened suddenly. I'm sorry for offending you. I beg the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to forgive me."

Xiudong had just solved the emperor's worries, so it was natural that the emperor would not make things difficult for her.

Although the Queen Mother was somewhat displeased, Xiudong was, after all, one of the most trusted maids in the palace by Empress Dowager Yixiu, so she could only wave her hand impatiently and stop talking.

"Come here, take this maid to the prison and keep a close eye on her. Don't let her commit suicide."

The emperor said coldly.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's faces changed, but things had come to this point and they were helpless.

Originally, all this was a perfect arrangement, but who could have thought that the Queen would intervene halfway and was determined to save Nian Shilan.

Until now, the two of them still have some doubts in their hearts. The Queen's hatred for Nian Shilan was no less than theirs. The Nian family has been in opposition to the Prince's party for a long time. How could the Queen want to protect Nian Shilan?
