Nian Shilan fainted in front of the Yangxin Palace, but she couldn't get the emperor to show any mercy. Pang Ju even made a solemn statement in the front court: "All those who follow Nian Gengyao have committed treason and must be executed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers rushed towards the Nian family's followers like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. All the Nian family's property was confiscated, Nian Gengyao and his son were beheaded, and all the elderly, weak, women and children in his family were exiled. When Nian Shilan woke up and heard the bad news, she was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, has he lost all his affection for us? Have all these years of love and time been wasted?"

She didn't know that the emperor had shown mercy, but her mortal enemies could not tolerate her continuing to live in the palace in a high and mighty manner!

A conspiracy against her has begun...

In Zhongcui Palace, Yueli went to bed early. At this moment, with her long black hair loose, she was holding her son Hongsheng in her arms and coaxing him gently, but in her heart she was thinking about how to overthrow the queen.

Nian Shilan is now a grasshopper in autumn, with Zhen Huan, Qi Yuebin and others eyeing her covetously, so she doesn't need to worry about her.

But the Queen had previously used Yun?'s attempt to force the emperor to abdicate to kill both her and her child, and this grudge was huge.

She had to think carefully about what kind of death to choose for the queen.

Yueli's eyes rolled as she came up with a trick. After putting Hongsheng, who had already fallen asleep, down, she rummaged through the secret compartment in her exquisitely carved bed. Using her body to cover herself, she exchanged a small pill from the system and pretended to have taken it out from the secret compartment.

"Danju, come here."

Danju, who was serving at the side, leaned over and took the pill from his mistress's hand and wrote down Yueli's instructions one by one. Then he lowered the curtain and left as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Pangju turned over the Queen's card and stayed overnight in Jingren Palace.

Of course, Pangju's original intention was to make final arrangements with Yixiu on the rewards for the concubines in the harem and the subsequent affairs of the Nian family.

For example, Guaerjia Wenyuan, the daughter of Guaerjia Emin, a hero of the previous year, is about to enter the palace, and the specific arrangements for her entry into the palace still need to be discussed with the queen.

For example, Wanpin and her daughter, who made great contributions to the downfall of Nian Gengyao, should also be rewarded, and Pangju wants to make Wanpin a concubine.

There is also Yueli. When she was giving birth, Prince Dun was plotting a rebellion. Fortunately, Lady Fucha had already entered the palace to accompany her during childbirth. She noticed the abnormality in time and caught the spy who was waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos!

But Prince Dun is not the only master behind this spy. After Fat Ju asked Xia Yi to interrogate him, he discovered that the Queen seemed to be behind him!

After all, nothing really happened to Concubine Yi and her son, and because of the Empress Dowager, Pangju had to keep the matter secret.

But the man was captured by Mrs. Fucha herself, and the lives of her daughter and grandson were involved. The Fucha family was extremely concerned about this matter, and Fat Ju could not let it go so lightly.

Therefore, whether it was to warn the queen who had evil intentions or to appease the Fucha clan behind Yueli, the position of imperial concubine had to be given up.

Although Yixiu was unhappy about Yueli's promotion to Imperial Concubine, she dared not object. She had just returned from the Old Summer Palace when the Empress Dowager invited her for tea. Knowing that her schemes had been discovered by the Emperor, Yixiu was terrified and would not dare to attack Yueli again for the time being.

But for Zhen Huan, Yixiu was determined to make trouble no matter what. She would never allow that face to continue to be proud in front of her!

And Yu Ying'er, I really underestimated her back then! She actually noticed my feelings, hid my pregnancy from everyone after discovering it, and then, after the Emperor returned from summer vacation, she had the imperial physician report it to the Emperor. She even had the audacity to ask the Emperor to let her, the Empress, take care of her baby!

Because she was pregnant, the Emperor had restored her to the promised position upon returning to the palace. But now, the Emperor actually wanted to reward her with another promotion, making her a concubine! Then, when her child was born, would the Emperor also make her a noble lady, a concubine, or a concubine?

What merits and abilities did Yu Ying'er have?!

Listening to Fat Orange finalizing things one by one, Yixiu felt like vomiting blood.

After Nian Shilan fell, another restless one rose up again! Yixiu was really angry...

"The Queen seems to be much younger today, which reminds me of many things that happened in the palace."

After discussing the promotion of the concubines in the harem, Pangju looked at Yixiu, who seemed to have regained her youth overnight, and said with some nostalgia.

"Ah, is that so? Is the emperor teasing me?" Yixiu, flattered, subconsciously touched her cheek. At this moment, she looked like a complete girl, without any pretense at all.

Fat Orange was fascinated. "Xiaoyi, you have been married to me for more than 20 years, right?"

"Yes, I have served you for twenty-seven years."

Fat Ju threw away the memorial and stood up. Yi Xiu didn't care about her feelings and hurriedly stood up with her. Unexpectedly, Fat Ju held her hand. She looked up at Fat Ju in surprise.

"emperor?"

"It's late at night, Queen, please stay with me."

"Yes, yes!" Yixiu was almost incoherent with excitement!

Is that what the Emperor meant? Is that right? How long has it been? It seems like since Nian Shilan entered the palace, there has been no more sex between them.

The Jingren Palace called for water three times in one night. It was a blessing of rain after a long drought, and Yixiu was overjoyed.

The next day, Fat Ju was a bit dazed when he left Jingren Palace. He and Yixiu hadn't been close for years, and last night...

Because of this matter, Pangju was a little absent-minded during the morning court, but after the court, he saw from afar that it seemed that Xiuxia from the Queen's palace was waiting in front of the Yangxin Palace.

"Su Peisheng, what's going on?"

Su Peisheng looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, Miss Xiuxia has been waiting for half an hour. It is said that after Concubine Cao paid her respects this morning, she accused Concubine Hua of killing the Dragon Clan and plotting to murder the concubines in front of everyone!

This is a matter of great importance, and the Empress is hesitant to make a decision, so she has come to ask the Emperor for instructions."

"Who?!"

After a morning of confusion, his mind suddenly cleared up, and anger surged in Fat Orange's heart like a prairie fire. "Cao Qinmo! How dare she do that!"

With the fall of the Nian family, Nian Shilan, as a daughter of the Nian family, naturally could not stay out of it.

But Pangju had feelings for her but also felt guilty about it, so his original plan was to first let Shilan be a concubine, and then slowly promote her back after the storm subsided.

But now that Cao Qinmo has done this, Fat Ju can no longer protect Concubine Hua.

Cao Qinmo has been taking refuge with Nian Shilan since entering the palace. She knows all the evil deeds that Nian Shilan has done, so her accusation this time is naturally accurate: the death of Concubine Chun, Yu Ying'er's miscarriage, Concubine Wan's premature birth, Concubine Hui's life hanging by a thread several times, collusion with the previous dynasty to sell official positions and titles, and the cassava flour and tranquilizing soup fed to Wen Yi... All these things are too numerous to list!

"Noble Consort Hua, unvirtuous and unkind, colluded with the outer court. Effective immediately, she will be stripped of her title, demoted to the rank of concubine, and confined to the Yikun Palace. Noble Consort Cao, for your meritorious reporting of the case, will be promoted to the rank of concubine and granted the title of Xiang."

Fat Orange finished speaking and left. Cao Qinmo felt a little uneasy, but soon fell into the joy of everyone's congratulations.

"My dear concubine, I will climb up step by step and earn a good future for Wen Yi!"

Previously, Fei Yunyan had been demoted to a noble lady and moved out of the main hall of Qixiang Palace due to Yu Ying'er's miscarriage. Now, Cao Qinmo, who had been subservient for many years, had lost her vigilance and could not wait to move into the main hall, which made Fatty Ju even more disgusted.

So, after discussing with the Queen Mother, Concubine Xiang soon fell ill and the ceremony of conferring her the title of concubine was naturally aborted.

That day, Yueli sent someone to give Cao Qinmo a small gift.

In Qixiang Palace, Cao Qinmo took the medicine bowl, but was frightened by the three words floating on the medicine soup - the medicine is poisonous

With a "crack!", the porcelain bowl shattered, the medicine spilled all over the floor, and the three words floating in the bowl disappeared without a trace.

"Empress!" Yinxiu knelt down in panic, her guilty conscience clearly visible.

"You! Who are you?" Cao Qinmo's face was pale as she struggled to ask the question deep in her heart. Who wanted to kill her? And who was reminding her?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Madam, I'm sorry... This servant," Yinxiu kowtowed several times. When she raised her head again, tears were streaming down her face. However, she didn't dare to look her master in the eye. She closed her eyes and spoke in a low voice for a long time before uttering four words -

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey."

Hearing this, Cao Qinmo felt as if a loud bang exploded in her mind. In an instant, the calculations behind Concubine Wan's smile, the weirdness of Concubine Duan's closeness to Wen Yi, the astonishment of everyone present when Nian Shilan was exposed, the fleeting cold malice hidden in the emperor's eyes when he appointed her as a concubine, and Concubine Yi's inadvertent reminder, all came to her mind in an instant!

Cao Qinmo's mind, which had been dazzled by wealth and fame, regained its clarity and she smiled sadly. It turned out that from the very beginning, she had fallen into the calculations of others and became the last knife stabbing at Nian Shilan!

Cao Qinmo, awakened from her despair, buried herself in her quilt and uttered a suppressed wail: "Xiangpin, Xiangpin, Xiang, oh! So that's how it is, so that's how it is! All my scheming was in vain, hahaha!"

"Zhen Huan, is my knife any good? You'd better be careful. Although my knife is sharp, it will hurt your hands!"

The sinister face is hidden in the quilt. The desperate mother snake is making a final plan for her child.

"Wen Yi, my mother will use her own life to send you off one last time."
