My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

"If you're here, then who's the person upstairs?"

Following the sharp cry, everyone looked toward the stairs and saw a slender woman standing at the top of the stairs, dressed exactly like Wei Nanxun.

The most astonished was Ruotao. She looked up at her several times, then back at her, and said in disbelief, "No, it's impossible! I saw Lady Wei go upstairs with my own eyes. She pushed the Crown Princess down the stairs..."

Wei Nanxun paused for a moment, seemingly realizing what was going on with the commotion.

She suddenly pushed aside the people surrounding her and saw Wei Mingzhao lying in a pool of blood.

Because the imperial physician had not yet arrived, no one dared to step forward to help her, fearing that if anything happened to the child, those who had touched her would also suffer misfortune.

When Wei Nanxun saw the large pools of blood, her mind went blank.

Memories of my past life flooded back instantly, exactly the same as those of this moment.

The only difference is that she was the one who was wrongly accused of murder and had no way to defend herself.

It was true; Wei Mingzhao still chose the same method, still determined to kill her.

Did she really hate her that much?

Wei Nanxun pushed aside the people surrounding her and stepped forward to pick up the unconscious Wei Mingzhao: "Sister, wake up! Sister, how did you all treat her like this? Why has my sister become like this?!"

“I had heard from my elder sister that the palace servants in the Eastern Palace were neglecting her, but I didn’t believe it. I thought she was just being too sensitive. I never imagined that you would actually dare to treat her so harshly. Even if you don’t respect our Wei family, you should at least protect the imperial heir in her womb.”

Her eyes widened as she reprimanded each of the palace maids who had formed a circle around her.

When she saw Empress Dowager Jiang, her eyes reddened even more: "Your Majesty, you must do me a favor for my elder sister and the child in her womb."

"You, you get up first. The child in Zhao'er's belly is also my great-grandchild. I am more distressed than you. I will never let the person who harmed her get away with it."

He said sternly, "Hurry up and catch the murderer upstairs!"

The woman looked thin, but she had a fierce strength. Perhaps when faced with life and death, people will unleash their potential.

But ultimately, two fists can't fight four hands, and they were subdued by the two old women.

When she was dragged downstairs, she seemed somewhat deranged, and it was the old woman next to her who forcibly lifted her chin.

When she revealed her face, one of the palace maids in the Eastern Palace recognized her. "This, isn't this Yue'e from His Highness's study?"

Empress Dowager Jiang frowned slightly: "You mean she's someone close to the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, I dare not deceive the Empress Dowager. This woman has been serving His Highness in his study, and occasionally..."

The palace maid seemed to realize that what she was about to say was inappropriate, and said much softer, "Yes, I can serve the emperor in bed."

The fact that the crown prince favored several palace maids might not sound very nice, but it wasn't really outrageous.

"go on."

"But Yue'e always takes advantage of His Highness's favor towards her and doesn't give our Crown Princess any face. She has spoken rudely to us several times."

If it were truly for the sake of vying for favor, then it would be understandable.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang's gaze was fixed on Yue'e, Jiang Qiongzhi said casually, "Grandmother, how come this Yue'e's clothes look so much like Miss Wei's..."

Everyone then looked at the two of them. Actually, the clothes didn't look like them; the only similarity was in the sleeves.

But Wei Nanxun wore pink when she entered the palace today, and now her clothes have turned into a light yellow, while her pink dress has been transferred to Yue'e.

"It was her! She's the one who killed my sister!"

“I went to the restroom just now and bumped into this person on the way. She looked flustered and was holding a bowl of tea. She spilled it all over me. I was a mess and couldn’t show my face. She was probably afraid of being punished, so she offered to give me her clean clothes.”

"I didn't agree at first, but seeing that her clothes were somewhat similar to mine, I thought it would be better than seeing the Empress Dowager in dirty clothes, so I planned to ask Sister Jiang for a new one when I met her."

"Who would have thought that she would harm my elder sister?"

Wei Nanxun spoke fluently without any pauses, and her serious expression made it seem as if she wasn't making it up at all.

Even Empress Dowager Jiang believed it, but Jiang Qiongzhi thought it was too much of a coincidence.

How could someone dressed so similarly to her appear and conveniently become her scapegoat?

"Your name is Yue'e? Tell me, is it really as Miss Wei said?"

Yue'e's hair had already come undone during the struggle, leaving her disheveled, but the terror in her eyes was still evident.

Her slightly dazed pupils scanned back and forth between the three of them, finally settling on Wei Nanxun.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Yes, I spilled my tea on her. She said she was Lady Wei, and I knew she was the Crown Princess's sister, so I took her clothes and dressed up as her to get close to the Crown Princess."

"She's the one who got pregnant with the Crown Prince's child; she must die!"

She laughed louder and louder until she was convulsing on the ground.

Her shrill laughter echoed in everyone's ears. Empress Dowager Jiang raised her hand in disgust: "Drag her away."

"There's no need to concern ourselves with the Crown Prince; just beat him to death with sticks."

Wei Nanxun watched Yue'e being dragged away, wanting to speak, but ultimately clenched her trembling hands.

If she hadn't bumped into this person and seen her face, which bore a resemblance to hers, and her attire, she would be the one dead now.

At first, she didn't understand why Yue'e said "So that's how it is," but after hearing that she served the Crown Prince, she understood everything.

Pei Yuyan was so disgusted that he found someone who resembled her and dressed up like her; such a fetish was truly repulsive.

However, what Yue'e said at that time was that she was asking her to help them change their clothes so that she could sneak out of the palace.

Wei Nanxun, unaware of Jiang Qiongzhi's next move, hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

After changing her clothes, before hiding, she warned Yue'e not to go into the garden, but to escape through the side gate and ask for directions outside.

She had calculated the time, intending to hide a little longer, and then pretend to be sick when someone came looking for her.

Unexpectedly, before anyone even came looking for them, they heard a commotion.

Only then did he tentatively come out to see what had happened.

I never imagined that Yue'e would take her place and become the one who harmed Wei Mingzhao.

Most incredibly, she even admitted that she was the one who pushed the person.

When their eyes met, Wei Nanxun saw a hint of relief in her eyes.

This was a complete reversal of the previous situation. Empress Dowager Jiang was not stupid. When she saw Wei Nanxun appear before her unharmed, she knew that she had been used as a pawn.

It was either Wei Nanxun and her sister, or her good grandniece.

She appears harmless and dignified, but in reality, she is extremely cunning and shrewd, and she almost got pecked in the eye by an eagle.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, took her pulse, and shook his head at Empress Dowager Jiang.

Although Empress Dowager Jiang already knew what was going on, she was still somewhat disappointed: "Take good care of the Crown Princess. Don't worry about anything else. The most important thing is to save her life."

As his younger sister, Wei Nanxun naturally had to go to the East Palace to wait for news.

Empress Dowager Jiang was already suffering from headaches, and now she was even more physically and mentally exhausted.

"Qiongzhi, come back with me."

Jiang Qiongzhi nodded slightly and stepped forward to help Empress Dowager Jiang back to Cining Palace. As soon as they stepped out of the garden, she said in a very soft voice, "Grand Aunt, did you notice anything just now?"

"That palace maid named Yue'e seems to look very much like Seventh Sister..."
