Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

In the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Zhong Xiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed firmly.

"Your Majesty, please stand up for the Imperial Concubine and the little prince and severely punish the real thief!"

Yuwen Yang clenched his fists and tried to keep his tone calm. "I had someone find out. Concubine Zheng, having lost her own child, was jealous of Shuhui's ability to bear a prince. So she put fabric used by a smallpox patient in the wet nurse's clothes. As a result, the little prince contracted smallpox and died, and Shuhui died of depression."

"Your Majesty, it wasn't Concubine Zheng who did it! She was also framed."

Zhong Xiu's eyes were misty with tears. "After the little prince left, the queen became seriously ill and could not eat. I was very worried, so I often stayed in the small kitchen in the middle of the night, trying to make some food that would be easy for the queen to digest."

"It was late that night. On my way back to my room, I heard a quarrel in the bamboo forest. They were saying that Concubine Zheng was just a scapegoat, and that the one who attacked the little prince was..."

"Who is it!" Yuwen Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could kill that person on the spot.

"She is the Majesty's personal maid, Xiao Li, now known as Concubine Li."

"How is this possible!" Yuwen Yang slumped down in his chair, his eyes dull. Over the years, Lipin often recalled with him the scenes when Shuhui was still alive and missed Shuhui. How could this be possible?

"I swear to heaven that what I said is absolutely true! I also heard that Zheng's maid Lianxiang threatened Xiaoli, demanding money and her future from her for helping her frame Zheng, and said that if she didn't give it to her, she would report her to the emperor."

"A few days later, I heard the news that someone had drowned in the lake in the Imperial Garden. It was Lianxiang, the one Xiaoli was talking to."

"I was terrified and finally found the opportunity to tell Her Majesty the truth. She was furious."

"But..." Zhong Xiu burst into tears, "The next day, news came that the queen had passed away."

"I also wanted to expose Xiaoli's true identity, but I had no evidence. Moreover, Xiaoli later became the Emperor's Li Concubine, and she had the support of her father, the head of the Imperial Household Department."

"I didn't dare to confront her head-on, so I bribed the eunuch in charge of Shoukang Palace and asked for protection in the Empress Dowager's palace. I am struggling to survive, but I am afraid that no one will avenge the Imperial Noble Consort."

"Later, I met a palace maid named Hehua, Lianxiang's younger sister. She had a bundle that Lianxiang had sent out of the palace. Inside it were not only the treasures that Xiaoli had sealed, but also a deed signed and stamped with her handprint."

Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment, unbuttoned his clothes, and took out a piece of paper from his inner garment. "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Yuwen Yang took the paper with the girl's sweet fragrance and was distracted for a moment.

"Your Majesty..." Zhong Xiu fainted.

"Someone, call the imperial physician!" Yuwen Yang picked up Zhong Xiu and placed her on the couch.

After reading the contract, Yuwen Yang was furious and asked someone to call Concubine Li.

When the emperor summoned them, everyone came quickly.

"Imperial Physician, you must heal her for me! Otherwise, I will bury you with me!"

Doctor Wang, sweating profusely, took the girl's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief, having assumed she had some incurable illness. "Your Majesty, the girl is not seriously ill. She fainted due to emotional fluctuations. I can revive her with a few injections. But she needs to rest and not get so excited again."

Yuwen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can give me the acupuncture."

"Yes."

The imperial physician inserted three silver needles into Zhong Xiu, and she slowly woke up.

"Your Majesty..." Zhong Xiu lay weakly on the couch, which made Yuwen Yang feel very pity for her.

"Rest well, I will never let that evil villain go."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Yuwen Yang considerately covered him with a blanket.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Concubine Li bowed tenderly.

Although she didn't know why the emperor summoned her to the imperial concubine's palace, she was an old friend of the imperial concubine, so she was not too worried.

Yuwen Yang didn't call out, but walked up to her with a gloomy face.

Lipin waited for a while, raised her head to take a peek at what was going on, but was slapped away.

Her face was burning with pain, and Lipin burst into tears, stunned.

"Your Majesty? What are you doing?"

"You vicious woman! I ask you, is the eldest prince's smallpox related to you?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Concubine Li had no time to cry. She was stunned, her eyes full of panic.

"Shuhui's death is also related to you!"

Lipin finally remembered to deny, "No, no, Your Majesty, I didn't do it. Your Majesty, please believe me, I didn't do it. Someone framed me. Who was it? It was the Imperial Concubine. Did the Imperial Concubine want to frame me?"

"I always thought that everyone around Shuhui was as kind as her, but I didn't expect you to be such a sinister person. Who do you think you are? The imperial concubine is nobler and more favored than you, so why would she frame you?" Yuwen Yang was clear-headed for once.

"I ask you, Shuhui treated you well, why did you do such a cruel thing?"

Lipin suddenly laughed, "So the emperor has already determined that I am guilty, then I have nothing to say."

"You make it sound like I've wronged you. Take a look for yourself."

The paper was thrown in Lipin's face. Lipin picked it up and said, "It turned out to be Lianxiang, that bitch."

Perhaps knowing that it was useless to deny it, Lipin's smile grew even brighter. "Your Majesty, didn't she treat me well? It was just charity. My father later became a second-rank official, and I am also the daughter of an official. I am qualified to participate in the selection and become a concubine!"

"She was weak after giving birth and couldn't sleep with him, so she thought of recommending a maid to her to secure his favor. But she actually thought of a second-class maid and didn't want me to go. It's clear that the emperor had noticed me, hadn't he? You even praised my beauty. She looks haggard and is jealous of me."

"If she doesn't let me have my way, then she can't expect to have an easy life either. If she wants to use the prince to take the throne of queen, then I will get rid of the prince. She even found out that it was me who did it and wants to report me, so how can I let her live?"

Yu Wenyang gasped in anger, "You vicious woman!"

"I did it because I love you, Your Majesty. I did all this just to be able to serve you, and she can't stop me." Lipin laughed wildly, "I succeeded, hahahaha."

"You bitch!" Zhong Xiu rushed out and slapped Lipin. Lipin was caught off guard and was about to fight back, but was kicked down by Yuwen Yang.

"Someone!" Yuwen Yang supported the staggering Zhong Xiu, suppressing his anger. "Demote Concubine Li to a commoner and banish her to the cold palace, where she will never be allowed to leave. He Jing is guilty of corruption and perverting justice, plotting to murder the imperial concubine and heir, and deceiving the emperor. His crimes are unforgivable. All his property must be confiscated, and his entire family must be executed as a warning to others."

Lipin didn't react to the first half of the sentence, but panicked when she heard the second half. "No, Your Majesty, father didn't do that. I did it all by myself. You can't do this. I did it all by myself. I am willing to die to atone for my sins. Please, let them go!"

"I won't kill you. I want you to live in pain, unable to die even if you want to."

He Lili was in a state of disarray, her face covered in blood from her bruised forehead, making her look even more terrifying. She screamed until her voice was hoarse, unable to struggle, but she still begged for mercy, but the guards mercilessly dragged her to the cold palace.

Zhong Xiu burst into tears of joy and wanted to bow, but was stopped by Yuwen Yang. "Your Majesty is wise! The Imperial Concubine and the young prince can rest in peace knowing that you have avenged them. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Shuhui must be very pleased to have someone as loyal as you always thinking about her."

"This is what I should do." After saying this, Zhong Xiu seemed to have lost her strength and fell into Yuwen Yang's arms.
