Chapter 71: The Imperial Edict and the Fate of Concubine Ling

She frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, and asked impatiently, "What on earth are you doing here in Kunning Palace?" What's the point of telling me this at this time? I'm just a servant, how can I control Empress Lingfei?

Lamei bit her lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and then told everything that had just happened in detail.

After listening to this, Rong Mama first covered her mouth with her hands, with an expression of surprise on her face, as if she couldn't believe what she heard, but the trembling corners of her mouth and the constantly shaking chest revealed the excitement and excitement deep in her heart.

Oh my, this is so exciting! She must quickly tell the Queen about this great event so that the Queen can also be happy.

So, she suppressed the joy in her heart and said calmly, "Ahem, you wait here, I will go and report to the Queen." Before she finished speaking, she turned around and left impatiently, her steps seemed particularly brisk.

La Mei collapsed to the ground as if relieved of a heavy burden, silently praying in her heart that the Queen would have mercy and let her go.

The Empress had been feeling particularly sleepy lately. She had just woken up, and with half-awake eyes, she saw Rong Mama rushing into the bedroom in a panic. She rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion, "Rong Mama, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Rong Mama quickly placed a pillow behind her for her to lean on, then sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, something very funny just happened to Concubine Ling. Last time, after Concubine Ling smashed all the porcelain in the Yanxi Palace, the Imperial Household Department actually sent her a batch of ironware, iron shoes, iron clothes, and even wood carvings today."

"Empress Ling was so angry that she fainted, and then was hit by an iron object. Now she's lying in bed in unbearable pain. Lamei said Dongxue had already gone to call the imperial physician and the female doctor. I wonder why Lamei didn't tell the emperor and came to our Kunning Palace? Oh, and by the way, Lamei's body is covered with scars, many new and old. She said they were all caused by Concubine Ling."

The Empress was stunned. Thinking of the room full of ironware and wood carvings, and then thinking of Concubine Ling wearing iron clothes and iron shoes, she suddenly found it funny. She touched her belly and said to Rong Mama, "Send someone to tell the Emperor, and then go with La Mei to take a look. Without the Emperor's permission, the Imperial Household Department wouldn't dare to do such a drastic thing."

Concubine Ling, you are finally going to kill yourself.

As soon as she reached the gate of the Yanx Palace, she heard the sound of Concubine Ling slaughtering a pig. Rong Mama was startled and almost fell to the ground. After she finally stood firm, she scolded La Mei beside her: "Hurry up! What are you dawdling for! If you delay in saving your master, I will skin you alive!" After that, Rong Mama quickened her pace and walked into the Yanx Palace.

After entering the Yanxi Palace, everyone inside was busy and no one noticed them. Rong Mama hurried to the bedroom of Concubine Ling. As soon as she arrived at the door of the bedroom, she saw Doctor Hu standing in front of the screen, directing the female doctors inside and Dongxue to treat the wounds on Concubine Ling's body.

Rong Mama took one look at Concubine Ling on the bed and suddenly felt dizzy and her stomach churned. She couldn't help wanting to vomit. She suppressed her nausea and stood far away, not daring to get close to the bed. She could only watch Concubine Ling from a distance.

Rong Mama was about to burst out laughing in her heart, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "You must be careful, don't let Empress Ling Fei suffer too much pain, otherwise you will be in trouble. I am old and my eyesight is not very good, so I will not go over and delay the Empress's treatment." After saying that, she turned and walked out of the room.

When Lamei heard this, her hand trembled, and Concubine Ling screamed like a pig again in pain.

The female doctor glared at her angrily and said, "You want to kill your queen? How dare you be distracted at this moment?"

In the imperial study, Emperor Qianlong listened to Li Yu's report expressionlessly, and without even looking up, he said, "Go and take away all of Concubine Ling's outer garments. She will only wear the iron vest from now on. Also, issue an order that all servants in the Yanxi Palace, except for Lamei and Dongxue, be dismissed. She must stand in the Imperial Garden for two hours every day, wearing the iron vest and iron shoes."

Li Yu lowered his head and silently lit a candle for the woman who was once the most favored in the harem. This kind of punishment was really unprecedented.

After he left, Qianlong snorted coldly and continued to review memorials.

A mere foot-washing maid, yet she dared to have such great ambitions. Not only did she kill two princes, she was also responsible for Xiaoxian's death. After she became favored, she even murdered many concubines in the harem. Only the Kunning Palace was strictly controlled by the Nara family, leaving her no chance. Even so, she had taken advantage of the queen's straightforward nature in the past, causing her to misunderstand and neglect the queen time and time again.

Since you want wealth, status, and fame so much, I will grant you your wish! And as for the family behind you, don't even think about escaping.

When Li Yu arrived at the Yanxi Palace, he didn't rush to announce the decree, but stood outside and chatted with Rong Mama as if nothing had happened. Everyone knew the status of these two in the hearts of the Emperor and the Empress, so Doctor Hu didn't dare to neglect them and gave even more careful guidance.

Soon, the injuries on Concubine Ling's body were treated and she was awakened by the pain. Seeing Li Yu's eyes shining, her pale face seemed to have a luster.

Li Yu glanced at her, then took out the imperial edict. Everyone in the room knelt. He looked at Concubine Ling with a forced smile and said, "The Emperor has said that since Concubine Ling is not feeling well, she does not need to get out of bed to perform the ceremony. She can just lie down and listen to the edict."

When Concubine Ling heard this, her cheeks flushed with excitement. It turned out that the emperor still loved her.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: From this day forward, no additional servants are to be allowed in the Yanxi Palace, except for Winter Plum Blossom and Winter Snow. Furthermore, all outer garments of Concubine Ling are confiscated. From now on, she may only wear iron clothes and iron shoes. Furthermore, she must stand in the Imperial Garden for two hours each day before leaving. This is decreed."

Madam Rong turned her head away and laughed silently, her shoulders shaking.

Lamei and Dongxue collapsed to the ground, looking as if they had lost all hope in life. They were finished.

Upon seeing this, Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly took his female doctor and left. From then on, the Yanx Palace would become the biggest joke in the harem.

Li Yu stepped forward and placed the imperial edict next to Concubine Ling's pillow, saying coldly, "Empress Ling, please accept this order! Starting tomorrow, guards will come every day to take you to the Imperial Garden. Empress Ling, do not try to escape, or the lives of all the members of the Wei family will be in jeopardy."

Concubine Ling's pupils shrank, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Why does the emperor treat me like this?"

Li Yu looked at her coldly, "Empress Ling, please think about how many evil things you have done since entering the palace!"
