Chapter 207 He Deserved It, the Dust Has Settled
Consort Yu and Wang Changlin were both imprisoned in the imperial prison.
Zhao Yucheng took the military token of Wang Changlin's personal guard from him and led his men to capture nearly 50,000 soldiers in the western and northern suburbs.
After a period of reorganization, they were incorporated into the army.
Consort Yu spent three days and three nights in the dark and gloomy prison, without eating, drinking, or uttering a single word.
It wasn't until the fourth day that she requested an audience with the emperor.
She thought about it for three days and three nights, and she regretted it for three days and three nights.
She had meticulously planned for so long, thinking that it wouldn't be long before she could enjoy wealth and luxury and never have to depend on others again.
Who would have thought that, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, she finally chose Wang Changlin and fell in love with him.
She believed that he truly loved her and was willing to help her become Empress Dowager.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the very oriole he had carefully chosen.
Having seen everything clearly, Consort Yu had no desire to struggle or argue any further.
The only thing she couldn't let go of was the Fourth Prince.
She feared that after her death, the fourth prince would suffer inhumane treatment.
She had heard that the children of concubines who were banished to the cold palace lived worse lives than those of palace maids and eunuchs.
The fourth prince was only eight years old, and she didn't want him to live the rest of his life in pain.
Therefore, she wanted to see the Emperor and use her honesty to secure a peaceful life for the Fourth Prince.
Before the Emperor, Consort Yu recounted her journey from descending the Tianquan Mountains to entering the palace, and from giving birth to the fourth prince.
He frankly confessed the entire process of scheming and plotting to win the throne.
She also said that after the Seventh Princess's birth mother, Consort Zheng, gave birth to the Third Prince, she became pregnant with the Seventh Princess again.
During that period, the Emperor showed great favor to Consort Zheng, which made her jealous. She secretly planted a spy by Consort Zheng's side.
This is why Consort Zheng always felt that there were ears on the walls of the palace where she lived.
Consort Yu also set up a trap for Consort Zheng's Xiangxi Palace, having her informant administer a pill that caused both heat and cold poisoning.
Finally, after the seventh princess was born, the heat and cold poison was drawn to her face by the formation, turning her into an ugly monster.
After that, the Emperor gradually neglected Consort Zheng, and Consort Yu finally felt relieved.
"Yu Shi! 'The most vicious heart is that of a woman' is not even enough to encompass what you've done!'"
The emperor was heartbroken. Such a wicked woman had been lurking in the deep palace for so many years, harming his beloved concubines and children, yet he had been completely unaware.
Consort Yu knelt before the Emperor, clutching his feet, and pleaded desperately, "Your Majesty, I know I deserve to die a thousand deaths..."
However, considering that the Fourth Prince is also of royal blood, we beg Your Majesty to spare his life.
The Emperor did not give Consort Yu an answer. He closed his eyes tightly, too distressed to speak.
He waved his hand silently, signaling for Yu Fei to be dragged away.
Three days later, Wang Changlin was torn apart by five horses, and his body was thrown into a mass grave to be fed to wild dogs.
Because Grand Tutor Shen Linyuan begged the Emperor with his life to spare his daughter Shen Lingshu's lineage.
Finally, the emperor stripped Wang Changlin's family of their titles, reduced them to commoners, exiled them three thousand li away, and condemned them to slavery for generations, never to be pardoned or allowed to return.
With the help of the Grand Tutor, Shen Lingshu and her daughters Wang Yucong and Wang Mengling were allowed to remain in the capital as commoners.
Consort Yu was executed, stripped of her title, deposed as a consort, expelled from the imperial clan, and never to be included in the imperial family genealogy again.
The fourth prince was stripped of his title of prince, demoted to Prince Ning, and exiled to his fiefdom of Sui, never to return to the capital.
The imperial advisor was beheaded and his head displayed to the world as a warning.
The huge upheavals surrounding Consort Yu's struggle for the throne and Wang Changlin's rebellion finally came to an end with each of them receiving their just deserts.
Zhou Ruo resumed her days of treating patients at the clinic.
Because of her efforts in saving the Crown Prince's soul and exposing Consort Yu, Wang Changlin, and the Imperial Preceptor, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion suddenly gained 100,000 spirit stones.
One afternoon, Zhou Ruo was strolling around the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, feeling elated about his abundant spirit stone treasury.
Suddenly, a girl of unparalleled beauty appeared outside Ji'an Hall, and Jia Yuntian, who was behind the counter, couldn't help but drool.
"Pretty sister!" Zhou Ruo recognized the Seventh Princess without her veil at a glance and ran happily to her.
Zhao Jinzhong's reaction was no better than Jia Yuntian's.
Although everyone saw that the Seventh Princess had no poison scars on her face after Zhou Ruo cured her at the clinic that day.
However, after several days, the Seventh Princess was even more beautiful than on the day she was cured, and Zhao Jinzhong almost didn't recognize her for a moment.
"Pretty sister, why aren't you wearing a veil today?" Zhou Ruo asked her with a smile.
The Seventh Princess pinched Zhou Ruo's little face and said, "Yu Shi has already confessed to Father Emperor what she did to Mother Consort and me."
No one is harming us anymore, so I no longer need to be careful and cover up.
Zhao Jinzhong was also happy for her, saying, "The Emperor must be very pleased to see you like this, right?"
At this point, the Seventh Princess couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling as she recalled the scene of her paying her respects to the Emperor early this morning.
The Seventh Princess heard that the Emperor was in low spirits because of Consort Yu's matter, and had not been able to eat or sleep well for several days.
So, after getting up early in the morning, she thought about giving the emperor a surprise, hoping it would make her father happier.
She discarded her veil and went straight to the imperial study.
When Eunuch Qin saw the Seventh Princess approaching from a distance outside the Imperial Study, his mind raced.
Who is this princess? She looks familiar, but there has never been a princess in the palace with such a heavenly appearance!
The seventh princess skipped happily to Eunuch Qin and called out, "Eunuch Qin!"
After carefully listening and examining the figure, Eunuch Qin finally recognized that the person in front of him was none other than the Seventh Princess, An Ziying.
"Seven...!" Eunuch Qin was so shocked he almost shouted it out.
The seventh princess mischievously covered her father-in-law's mouth to keep him quiet.
She pointed towards the Imperial Study. Qin Gonggong, who was being held by the Seventh Princess, nodded, his eyes already moist.
Looking at the Seventh Princess, who was once ridiculed for wearing a veil, now possessing such an enviable appearance,
Eunuch Qin was pleased.
The Seventh Princess quietly entered the Imperial Study, where the Emperor was intently reading commemorative documents.
With a furrowed brow, the Seventh Princess looked up at the Emperor and noticed that he looked several years older in just a short time.
The seventh princess called out "Father" with heartache.
The Emperor did not look up, but just by hearing the voice, he knew it was his lively and somewhat mischievous seventh princess.
"Ziying, what brings you to see me today?"
The Seventh Princess saw that the Emperor did not look up, and she did not say anything either.
After a moment of silence, the Emperor sensed something was wrong and raised his head from the pile of folded paper to look at An Ziying.
"Purple..." The Emperor paused when he saw the Seventh Princess, his words caught in his throat, and he stood there stunned.
After a long while, the Emperor slowly got up and walked to the Seventh Princess.
He raised a large hand in disbelief and touched the side of the Seventh Princess's cheek where the poison scar had been.
"Are you Ziying? Are you my seventh princess, Ziying?" The emperor's voice began to choke.
The seventh princess looked up at the emperor with tears in her eyes and nodded gently, "Father, it is your child."
The Emperor pulled the Seventh Princess into his arms, and the father and daughter embraced and wept.
"Excellent! My seventh princess is so beautiful! My child, you've suffered so much these past years!"
The appearance of the Seventh Princess dispelled much of the gloom that had been hanging over the Emperor's heart.
Ever since the Emperor learned that the poison scar on the Seventh Princess's face was caused by Consort Yu, he has felt guilty.
Now that he saw that she had recovered and was no longer tormented by the ugly poison scars, the Emperor was finally less distressed.
Inside the clinic, the Seventh Princess replied to Zhao Jinzhong, "Yes, Father is very happy."
After saying that, the Seventh Princess turned to Zhou Ruo and expressed her gratitude: "Sister Zhou Ruo, I came here specifically to thank you."
"I also have one more request."
"Beautiful lady, please speak freely."
Zhou Ruo suddenly picked up the heroic spirit of General Zhao and spoke with great conviction.
The Seventh Princess smiled and then said seriously, "I would like to invite you to the palace to help dispel the spell that Yu Shi has set up in my mother's palace."
