Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Seeing that there was no one around, Yanwan asked Chunchan to bring some tea and snacks. After everyone had left, Bai Ruiji had already sat up from the bed.

"They've all left? Oh, I'm so thirsty. What happened? The emperor didn't notice anything, did he?" She hurriedly took the tea handed to her by Yan Wan and drank it. This trip took a long time and made her very thirsty.

Yes, Bai Ruiji was fine at all. It was just a trap set by Yan Wan to frame Jin Yuyan.

No, this is not a frame-up at all, but just letting her suffer the consequences of her own actions.

Yan Wan bribed the imperial physician Bao to prescribe a prescription to delay menstruation. These medicines were cobbled together from the medicines Bai Ruiji usually used to regulate her body. Therefore, the miscarriage was just an illusion caused by the delayed menstruation.

When Yan Wan deliberately challenged Jiang Yubin to his post, and Ruyi found out that Li Xin was the one who poisoned her, everything was already set in stone. She had brought the poison herself, so she couldn't deny it.

The people in Yikun Palace were very efficient and before nightfall, they had already discovered that Li Xin was the one behind the poisoning.

She was loyal and devoted. Even after being tortured to the point of being unconscious, she still insisted that she was the mastermind behind the incident.

Seeing this, Ruyi had no choice but to invite the emperor to make the decision.

When the emperor walked into the Yiku Palace in the night, Ruyi was sitting at the top, with Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu sitting on both sides, and Li Xin was kneeling in the middle.

This matter involves many people, so there is no need to call all the concubines in the palace. At the very least, we have to give Concubine Jia some face.

Li Xin was tortured to the point of exhaustion. She knelt on the ground with her head bowed, her face pale and listless, muttering to herself, "This is all done by me. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine... It's all done by me... It's all done by me... It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine...

The Ministry of Punishment has plenty of ways to torture people. Even though there was no blood on Li Xin's body, one could tell from her appearance that she had been tortured a lot in there.

Seeing the emperor coming, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. My master has nothing to do with it! I was jealous of Concubine Mei's favor, which overshadowed my master, so I wanted to poison her..."

Seeing the emperor coming, Li Xin rolled and crawled, trying to hug the emperor's legs and beg for mercy.

The eunuchs waiting nearby naturally wouldn't give her this opportunity, and held her tightly on both sides. If they really ran into their master, they would probably be in trouble too.

Li Xin didn't even have the chance to kowtow and beg for mercy. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

After paying her respects, Yan Wan sat down. Looking at this scene, she felt extremely happy.

She remembered how Li Xin had humiliated and abused her under Jin Yuyan's instructions. The five years she spent in Qixiang Palace were a place she dreamed of escaping. She would pay back every debt she owed her, bit by bit.

She wanted to slowly sever Jin Yuyan's arms and legs, return all the humiliation she had suffered over the past five years, let her taste what it was like to eat rotten rice, what it felt like to hold a candlestick all night, what it felt like to wash people's feet, and what it felt like to be insulted and bullied every day and have to endure it silently...

These were the tastes that Wei Yanwan would never forget all night long, and she wanted them to have a taste as well. This was what true fairness was.

There was raging anger in her eyes, and she admired Li Xin's miserable appearance with an expressionless face.

"Your Majesty, this Li Xin is the personal maid of Concubine Jia, the closest person to her. If something happened to Li Xin, Concubine Jia must also be held responsible for not keeping a strict discipline. To clear her name, I have already sent someone to fetch her."

As soon as Ruyi sat down, she began to explain to the emperor. Somehow, she was eager to prove to the emperor that she could be a good queen.

Looking at Li Xin, a chill spread across the Emperor's face. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before nodding calmly, "Well, the Empress did a good job on this matter. You were able to find the real culprit so quickly, which is worthy of the Six Palaces I entrusted to you. Concubine Ling, how is Concubine Mei? I heard she's awake. Is she okay?"

Ruyi had just been praised by the emperor, and before she could be happy, he asked her three questions in a row, which made her feel disheartened.

She was blamed by him and hurried to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. Just when she was about to tell him the truth, he didn't even look at her.

Seeing him looking at Yan Wan with concern, Ruyi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She couldn't help but start to doubt whether the emperor was really special to her or whether he really had his heart for her.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! It is others who are framing me, Your Majesty!"

Before Yan Wan could answer the emperor's question, she was interrupted by the sudden voice.

Jin Yuyan arrived late, her steps so hurried that the hairpins from her headdress hit her face. Without thinking twice, she knelt down and pleaded as soon as she entered the hall.

"Unjust? I warned you about the last incident with Carnelian. One was Zhenshu, and the other was Lixin. Both were your henchmen who were harming them. Why? Do I look like a fool?"

The emperor saw her trying to quibble, so he sat at the top and spoke lightly. For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole hall became terribly cold.

Yan Wan knew this was a sign of the Emperor's wrath, so she sneered, "Is Concubine Jia deliberately shielding Li Xin? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have brought Concubine Mei's lunch. We only need to have Doctor Bao investigate and see if the poison found in Li Xin matches the food and the poison Concubine Mei was poisoned with. The truth will be revealed."

"Call Dr. Bao."

Yan Wan and Doctor Bao were invited by Ruyi to Yonghe Palace together. At this time, he was being guarded in the side hall.

"Doctor Bao, can you please see if the poison in this thing is the same as the poison in Concubine Mei and her diet?"

At Ruyi's glance, Rong Pei sent someone to place the evidence in front of Doctor Bao.

Doctor Bao picked up the silver needle and examined it carefully before continuing, "Your Majesty, Empress, this poison is indeed the same as the one in the food and in Concubine Mei. It's unheard of, and even the silver needle can't detect it. It's definitely not from the Central Plains. And judging by the quality of this medicine, it's probably 10 to 20 years old, which is why it's lost some of its potency. Concubine Mei is blessed with a long life. If she had taken any more, even if I used all my medical skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to save her."

"I remember that Li Xin is a member of the Yu clan, Concubine Jia, tell me how she got hold of this foreign poison? Do you still want to quibble now?"

boom--

The teacup in the emperor's hand exploded next to Jin Yuyan, scaring the concubines. The flying fragments accidentally passed by Jin Yuyan's face. Almost instantly, blood gushed out on her fair and charming cheeks.

Jin Yuyan was almost stunned. She forgot to argue and just reached out to touch her cheek blankly.

The moment her palms touched it, she felt a warm current passing through. When she put it down and looked, it was glaring red blood.

She was so panicked that she didn't care about anything else. She knelt on the ground and crawled forward without paying attention to her manners.
