Chapter 117 All admitted

"Ye Ting Prison?" Upon hearing these three words, Yipin trembled all over and immediately asked, "Didn't Ziqiao commit suicide?"

According to the previous agreement, if there is a risk of exposure or other unstable situations, Ziqiao will commit suicide directly to cut off the clues and ensure the safety of Concubine Yi.

In return, Concubine Yi would arrange the future life of her family outside the palace and buy land and houses for her family.

"No, I think it was because the man named Dujuan committed suicide first, which made others on guard, so Ziqiao failed to succeed?" Qiuyan guessed.

But Concubine Yi thought more than her, and felt a chill on her back.

"No, maybe she didn't intend to commit suicide at all. We might have been deceived by that bitch!"

Qiuyan was puzzled. "What did the Queen say? What did Ziqiao lie to us about?"

"Don't you understand? We never asked her to collude with the people around Concubine Wei to frame Concubine Wei, but she did it. It must be someone else's instruction. Otherwise, why would she, a maid in the flower room, do such a thing?"

Concubine Yi released her hands that were holding Qiuyan's shoulders, staggered back a few steps, bumped into the table behind her, and her feet went weak, and she barely managed to stand by holding on to the table.

"Mom, be careful!"

Qiuyan hurried forward and wanted to support her, but was pushed away by Concubine Yi.

"While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, someone wants to use me to get rid of both Concubine Wei and Concubine Xie at the same time. Now that it has failed, Concubine Wei will escape, and then I will die. Zi Qiao didn't commit suicide, so she will definitely give me away. I have to make her shut up!"

When she said this, a fierce look flashed across Yipin's face, as ferocious as a demon.

Qiuyan's pupils shrank and she felt as if her throat was being strangled, so tight that it was uncomfortably tight.

He swallowed hard and said, "Why don't you find that yellow bird? That way you can escape danger!"

"The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. Time is of the essence, making this easier said than done. My most important task now is to shut Ziqiao up first. Otherwise, how can I survive and find out who is behind this? Besides, I suspect that person is the Queen!"

Hearing this, Qiuyan felt like the sky was falling.

Queen, if the person who is using them and their servant behind the scenes is the Queen, how should they deal with it?
It is impossible for them to overthrow the Empress Dowager.

Just like before, the queen used the fetus in Sun Baolin's womb to harm others and almost caused Sun Baolin to have a miscarriage. In the end, it was only the palace maid beside the queen who took the blame.

Even the royal heir could not shake the queen's position, let alone a concubine like Yipin who did not have a high family background, was not favored, and had no children.

"Don't just stand there, think of a way quickly, go to the Ye Ting Prison and kill Zi Qiao!" Concubine Yi said gritting her teeth.

She didn't even want to do something like instigating rebellion. It was too unsafe. Only when someone died would she keep quiet forever.

"Okay, okay." Qiu Yan nodded nervously, then quickly went out.

In Anqing Hall, Qingfang was closely watching the movements in the main hall. When she saw Qiuyan leave, she immediately returned to the house and told Xie Jiu about it.

"Sure enough, he can't sit still." Xie Jiu lowered his eyes, a cold expression on his face, "Yang Zhian is a smart man, I'm sure he won't let me down."

Liu Baolin pursed his lips and said, "Of course not. Eunuch Yang also wants to complete the task as soon as possible so that he can give an explanation to the emperor."

Indeed, just as they said, Yang Zhian was very efficient in his work.

An hour later, news came from the Ye Ting Prison that Qiu Yan, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Yi, bribed the Ye Ting Prison guards and intended to poison Zi Qiao, a criminal slave awaiting trial.

This action is too obvious in its intention.

He wanted to kill and silence the witness.

When the news reached Ninghua Palace, Yang Zhian had already arrived with his men.

"Empress Yipin, please come with me."

"Haha, hahahaha. Let's go, where to? Yama Palace?"

Concubine Yi sat in the main seat in the living room of the main hall, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes from laughing, and she looked crazy.

Yang Zhian frowned when he saw her like this. Just when he thought it would take some effort to take Yipin away, he didn't expect Yipin to stand up by herself.

"Let's go. It's just right for me to be reunited with my children."

After saying this, he ignored Yang Zhian and the others and walked out of Ninghua Palace alone.

Inside the Chengming Hall.

Zhao Xingjin looked at Concubine Yi kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Why isn't the Emperor speaking?" Concubine Yi chuckled. "Could it be that the Emperor doesn't even want to say a word to me now?"

Zhao Xingjin's face showed no emotion, and his voice was calm, "I never thought you would harm anyone."

"Yes, I didn't expect that either." Concubine Yi lowered her eyes and her body softened a little.

Finally, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Xingjin with anger.

"But Your Majesty, this is all because of you. You became impatient with me after hearing a few words from other women. You even refused to listen when I mentioned the miscarriage. I am so heartbroken. Your Majesty, that child was miscarried because of you!"

"I have never forgotten your miscarriage."

Zhao Xingjin's eyes showed fatigue, and he really didn't want to mention it anymore.

That old incident has become Yipin's inner demon, and no matter what anyone says, it is useless.

"Your Majesty should not have forgotten! Your Majesty, you are the biological father of that child!" Concubine Yi roared and cried out.

He covered his heart, collapsed on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, and his face flushed red.

"My child, I should have a healthy child, who can give it back to me!"

Looking at her heart-wrenching appearance, Zhao Xingjin felt indescribable emotions in his heart. He frowned tightly and clenched his fists.

"So, what happened today was that you bribed someone to poison Concubine Xie and then put the blame on Concubine Wei, right?"

Concubine Yi raised her eyes, her eyes were red, and suddenly she showed a creepy smile.

"It is I who am. I hope that all those whom the Emperor values ​​will die. If it weren't for them, the Emperor would definitely remember our past together and my children, wouldn't he? There are more and more people in the palace, and the Emperor's heart is not enough to share. I can only kill them to regain the Emperor's attention!"

She did not say that she had never plotted against Concubine Wei, and that there was someone else involved in this matter.

Because Concubine Yi knew that she could not escape the disaster, she simply took it all on to save that person.

She guessed that the man must hate Xie Jiu as much as she did. From then on, she would no longer be able to plan anything. However, as long as there was someone in the palace who wanted to kill Xie Jiu and had the ability to do it, she would be happy.

After listening to Concubine Yi's confession, Zhao Xingjin couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Concubine Yi poisoned the concubines, framed the innocent, disturbed the palace, and disregarded the law. She is stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine. She is exiled to Luoying Palace and is never allowed to leave without being summoned."

Luoying Palace, the most remote residence in the palace, is almost the same as the cold palace.

Yang Zhian didn't expect that the emperor would care about the concubine's life, but this was not something he could comment on, so he immediately obeyed the order and took the person away.

A nice banquet, tasting crabs and admiring chrysanthemums, should have been an elegant and beautiful thing, but it turned out like this. Zhao Xingjin felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He dismissed everyone in the hall and went into the inner room to rest alone.

The news that Concubine Yi, oh no, now it’s Concubine Zhang, was demoted to Luoying Palace, quickly spread throughout the harem.

Inside the Weiyang Palace, the Queen heard the news, her hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and she looked up and asked.

"Concubine Yi admitted all the charges before the Emperor without any explanation?"

"Yes, I admit everything, including putting the blame on Concubine Wei." Tingyun said in a low voice.

Hearing this, the Queen chuckled, "She's quite clever. If you say anything more, she'll be killed instantly."
