There were many people in the side hall of Yiku Palace. The emperor looked around. As an emperor, he felt humiliated and provoked by the fact that the woman beside him had another man in her heart.

Yiku Palace is not far from Qixiang Palace. The palace servants acted quickly and found the letter that Yue'er mentioned in less than three incense sticks of time.

To be precise, it was a half-burned letter, but you could vaguely make out the handwriting on it, some from Concubine Jia and some from Prince Yu.

These were secretly left by Yue'er when he was least prepared.

"Now that things have come to this, how do you explain yourself? I have treated you well, is this how you repay the emperor's kindness? Since your heart is elsewhere and your heart is only for your Yu clan, then you don't need to be a concubine anymore. Guard the future of your Yu clan and go on."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia committed treason, harmed concubines, and poisoned the imperial heir. She deserves death! I beg Your Majesty to punish her severely, so as to give an explanation to the Empress, Concubine Ling, Concubine Mei, and the poor imperial heir!"

Hailan stood up and she would never give Jin Yuyan another chance to make a comeback.

Yan Wan and Rui Ji exchanged a glance and followed suit: "Your Majesty, please help me! Severely punish Concubine Jia!"

"Your Majesty! My unborn child deserves no injustice!"

People knelt on the side hall floor. Jin Yuyan stood there in a daze, mumbling to the emperor, "Please show mercy." Tears streamed down her face, and she knew she couldn't get up now.

The emperor was extremely tired after today's farce. He leaned back in his chair, staring at Jin Yuyan with a grim expression.

Jin Yuyan felt so nervous that she unconsciously wanted to avoid his sight. She gave up struggling, knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Propagate my oral order. Imperial Consort Jia, Jin, is vicious and cruel. She has murdered concubines and plotted to kill the imperial heir. She deserves death, but considering she gave birth to the imperial heir, I will spare her life, strip her of her title, demote her to a commoner, and confine her to Qixiang Palace, never to leave. I never wish to see you again!"

"Your Majesty! You can't treat me like this. I'm pregnant with your child! You can't be so heartless!"

Deposed as a commoner? Jin Yuyan suddenly looked up at the emperor in disbelief. She had thought she would just be demoted to a lower position and that would be the end of it, but she hadn't expected the emperor to be so heartless as to directly depose her as a commoner. Wouldn't that mean she would never be able to turn things around in this palace?

It would have been fine if she didn't mention the child, but the emperor got even angrier when she did.

Now that you're in trouble, you're thinking about your children? Why didn't you think about whether your children would be harmed when you did such evil things?

The emperor suppressed the rage that was boiling in his chest and felt extremely disgusted. How could he tolerate such a lowly and vicious person raising her child?

"Child? You still dare to mention a child? In that case, you have taken someone else's child. You should be forgiven. After this child is born, it will be given to Concubine Mei to raise. And you will stay in your Qixiang Palace and atone for the sins you have committed! Come! Take her back to Qixiang Palace!"

"Little Shunzi, beat him to death with sticks. As for the palace maid Yue'er, you have made a meritorious report, but you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. You will be beaten with a hundred sticks and thrown out of the palace. Don't let her pollute my palace."

After saying this, the emperor got up and left. He could not stay in this side hall any longer.

What a shame!

Hearing this, Concubine Mei looked at Yan Wan in surprise.

"Since the Emperor has already dealt with this matter, you can go back first. I and Concubine Yu will take care of it. Especially Concubine Ling, you must be scared today, right? Go back and have a good rest."

Concubine Chun, who had been invisible for a long time, finally spoke. Ever since her child behaved unfilially in front of the hall, she had completely fallen out of favor, and the emperor had never considered her a person.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Everything is settled. There is no point in staying in Yikun Palace. It is better to leave so as not to bother others again.

"What happened today was really dangerous. It's the first time I see the emperor so furious. It's really scary." Yihuan covered his chest and said with lingering fear.

Yan Wan also breathed a sigh of relief: "I have to thank Sister Meifei for helping me find the witness. If it weren't for Caiyun, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to turn things around. That Jin family is really vicious, and now she can be said to be reaping the consequences of her own actions."

"She deserves it. Who told her to murder the royal heir?" Bai Ruiji said hatefully.

She finally got her revenge and now she feels extremely happy. No one can hate Jin Yuyan more than her.

"Congratulations, Sister Meifei. Now you can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's so lonely in this deep palace, and having a child by your side is better than anything else."

"Yes, the Emperor has already issued an order to bring the child to you as soon as it is born. You have always loved children, and now your wish has been fulfilled."

Yihuan and Ruiji lived close together, and she often came to visit the Tenth Prince. She could see how much she loved her son.

Bai Ruiji's mind was in a state of confusion. She noticed Yan Wan's gaze. No one understood today's events better than she did. Rather than saying the child was a gift from the emperor, it would be more accurate to say it was Yan Wan who gave it to her.

"Thank you very much for your kind advice, sister. Sister Ling Fei must be exhausted. We won't bother you any more. Have a good rest. We will come back to see you." Bai Ruiji's eyes were shining, and there was some inquiry and fear in her eyes as she looked at Yan Wan.

Yan Wan nodded and said goodbye to the two of them at the gate of Yongshou Palace.

Today's performance was really tiring, but it was worth it that she had prepared for so long. She finally sent Jin Yuyan into an endless hell, where she would never be able to turn over.

boom--

The emperor was furious. After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he started smashing things around. Li Yujinzhong and several eunuchs who were favored by the emperor looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to go in and offend the emperor.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

We servants value our lives more than anyone else, so how dare we go up and persuade them?

"Master, how about asking the Empress from the harem to come and give us some advice? It's not going to work if things keep going like this!"

There was a slight glint in Jinzhong's eyes. He was always like this. As soon as his eyes turned, countless bad thoughts would flow out.

"The Empress is still comatose in the Yikun Palace, and Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu are not favored, so it will be difficult to persuade them."

Li Yu nodded. He was a thoughtful person and had thought of this, but he was at a loss as to who to ask to comfort him.

"How about I ask Consort Shu? Or Consort Mei? Consort Yu and Consort Chun are currently in the Yikun Palace looking after the Empress, so I'm afraid they can't leave."

Jinzhong enthusiastically stepped forward to offer a candidate, but he knew that the only person who could persuade the emperor now was her.

Li Yu shook her head: "Ever since the birth of Concubine Shu, the relationship between the Emperor and her has become distant. Concubine Mei is very straightforward. She is very good at not irritating the Emperor, let alone trying to appease him."

Jinzhong lowered his head in disappointment, but his expression beneath his hat hinted at a sense of confidence. "What should we do? If this continues, smashing things won't be a big deal, but the Emperor will be furious, and the Empress Dowager will undoubtedly scold us servants for not serving them wholeheartedly."
