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

“If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, I have evidence. When she handed me the thing that day, I didn’t pay attention and dropped a silk handkerchief. I was afraid that Yue’er would not keep her promise after the incident, so I hid the thing, and hid it in…” He burst into tears and no longer asked for wealth. He just wanted to avoid implicating his family.

Before Xiao Shunzi could finish, Jinzhong stepped in. He heard what Xiao Shunzi said and happily interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, I found the banknotes and wanted to see if I had missed anything else. I found this thing in the crack of the wall in the utility room. This might be the silk handkerchief that Xiao Shunzi mentioned."

Jinzhong was holding a tray, which was filled with banknotes and a silk handkerchief. You could vaguely make out a crescent moon embroidered on it.

"Yes! That's it! Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I left the handkerchief and entrusted it to a friend, hoping he would keep an eye on it for me. If my family disappears after my death, I can ask him to present the evidence to the Empress and Concubine Yu. Your Majesty! I deserve death, and I only ask you to give me a quick death! Forgive my family... They know nothing, and it was just me who was being clever..."

After saying that, he kowtowed to the emperor sitting at the top like crazy as colorful clouds, trying to get relief.

"Yue'er, do you still want to cover up for Concubine Jia? You might as well tell us everything you know. This way, the emperor can spare your life."

Yan Wan used a silk handkerchief to wipe the few drops of tea that were on Jin Yuyan's face when she dropped the cup, and gave her a sinister reminder.

Hearing this, Na Yue'er was immediately at a loss. She hurriedly knelt and crawled forward from behind Jin Yuyan, begging for mercy: "Please spare my life, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty spares my life, I will tell you everything... I'm sorry, my master, I must save my life first."

"Bitch! How dare you betray me! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please don't listen to their lies. I was wronged and I didn't do it." Jin Yuyan was anxious. She didn't expect Yue'er to be so easily instigated by others. In just a few words, she started to turn against her and accuse her.

She was furious and slapped her in the face.

"Okay, okay! I didn't know my concubine was so cunning. I'll spare your life. Tell me everything you know!"

The truth was revealed, and the emperor was so angry that he laughed. He had never thought that Jin Yuyan would actually murder the queen and put the blame on Concubine Ling! He wanted to hear what other good deeds this imperial concubine had done.

"Sister Li Xin's plot to murder Concubine Mei was instigated by the master. I saw her handing her the poisoned silver needle through the crack in the door. And... and, the master is always thinking of Prince Yu. She dreams of him at night. The bracelet she often holds in her hand was given to her by Prince Yu. They often communicate... That Dongzhu was also found by the prince..."

"Eastern pearls have always been luxurious and only the royal family can use them. How dare you privately mine them without the emperor's order? Even if you get them on the Yu family's territory, it is a taboo. I felt something was wrong during the Wanshou Festival..." Yanwan spoke softly, adding fuel to the fire.

The emperor originally thought that it was just some dirty things, but he didn't expect that it would involve the disputes between the previous dynasty and the harem.

Looking at the concubines present, the emperor felt dizzy, as if everyone was looking at him with pity.

What a shame! What a shame!

"Your Majesty! I am devoted to you! Please don't listen to the one-sided words of this lowly maid! Your Majesty!"

Jin Yuyan didn't expect that Yue'er even knew about this matter. She wanted to argue weakly, but no matter what, the man sitting above her would never let this matter go easily.

"One-sided story? Now there are three people accusing you! You dare to say it's just one-sided story? Bitch! This is your personal maid, how dare you say that what she said is all false? Let's put everything else aside! What exactly is going on between you and Prince Yu?"

Yue'er was Jin Yuyan's personal maid, and her words were more effective than ten or eight words from ordinary people. When she mentioned the bracelet, the emperor couldn't help himself. He grabbed Jin Yuyan's neck and questioned her harshly, looking ferocious and terrifying, which frightened the concubines present for a while!

Jin Yuyan was quite favored, and the emperor had seen the bracelet when he went to Qixiang Palace.

She played with it every day, not because she liked it, but because it was a gift from her beloved!

Yan Wan had returned to her seat at this time. Yi Huan beside her was frightened by the emperor's appearance. Her face turned pale. She had never seen the emperor so angry.

The emperor's wrath would result in the death of millions. Everyone present fell silent, fearing that they would offend him.

"Your Majesty! Everything I said is true. I also have letters between my master and Prince Yu hidden in my room. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, just send someone to check!" Yue'er took a gamble and produced the final evidence.

Jin Yuyan's pupils shrank slightly. She! How did she get these things? She had clearly burned them all!

When the emperor saw Jin Yuyan's frightened look, he knew that this was true.

"Investigate! Go and investigate for me! Search Qixiang Palace from top to bottom. I want to see what else you, a bitch, have hidden!" He was furious and his face turned red with anger.

"So that's how it is. No wonder when Prince Yu forced his first wife to death and was escorted to the capital, Concubine Jia ignored her recent pregnancy and went to see him in her nightgown. You're really calculating. You hurt the Empress and the heir in her womb, and then you turn around and put the blame on me. All of this is to pave the way for you and the Yu family! Concubine Jia relies so much on your mother's family. It turns out there's another man backing you up..."

Yan Wan took a sip of the fine Longjing tea and spoke in a neutral tone, each word piercing the emperor's heart.

Jin Yuyan was panicking. She ignored Yanwan's actions and kept begging the emperor, "Your Majesty! None of this is true. What happened today was indeed done by me, but I was just confused for a moment and was jealous that the Empress's child was given more attention than mine. This has nothing to do with my maternal family or the prince! Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please don't doubt my maternal family. The Yu family has always been loyal to Your Majesty and has no other intentions!"

She made up her mind and took all the blame, knowing that the only option was death.

Moreover, she was pregnant and had given birth to two princes. The emperor would not kill her no matter what. Even if she died, she could not bring trouble to the Yu family and the prince.

The emperor watched her beg for mercy. When he thought about how he had forgiven her several times for Yu's sake, he felt extremely disgusted. It turned out that he had been deceived to this extent!

No matter what, this was unforgivable. If she hadn't been carrying the dragon heir in her belly, even if she died a thousand times, she wouldn't have been able to redeem his dignity.
