After Zhang Tingyu and E Min left, Yinzhen really wanted to immediately issue an edict to appoint Wen Yuan as a concubine, and then promote her to a consort after she gave birth safely.

It was just hearsay. Although he believed that E Min would not deceive him with such a big thing, he still had to give an explanation to the world.

Therefore, any rewards will have to wait until Zhang Tingyu's experimental results come out.

Let’s get back to the harem.

Ulanara Yixiu did not regain consciousness after waking up, because it was already dark when she woke up. Once it got dark, those ghosts appeared again, and Yixiu could not rest in peace at all.

After a night of commotion, dawn finally arrived.

Yixiu just woke up and wanted to ask Jianqiu to make a calming soup for her.

But she found that in Jingren Palace, the people she was familiar with, such as Jianqiu, Huichun, Xiuxia, Randong and Jiang Fuhai, were all gone.

Now Jingren Palace is full of unfamiliar faces, and each of them has a serious expression, as if they can eat someone in the next second.

Yixiu felt very uneasy. She always felt that something was out of her control. She asked, "Who are you? Where is Jianqiu? Where is Jiang Fuhai? Let them serve me!"

The oldest maid stepped forward and said in a serious tone, "Jianqiu and others helped the tyrant to commit atrocities and have been executed. We are the maids that Chief Steward Su transferred from the Shenxing Division. My last name is Zhu, so you can just call me Nanny Zhu."

"Nara commoner?" Yixiu asked subconsciously.

"When the commoner Nara was in a coma, the emperor issued an order to abolish your position as queen, demoted you to a commoner, and imprisoned you in Jingren Palace, where you were not allowed to leave until you died."

Yixiu got up from the bed and wanted to walk, but because she hadn't eaten all day, she had no strength at all and fell to the ground. Even so, she still maintained her pride as the queen, "Impossible! I am the queen! I am the emperor's wife, and the emperor will not depose me! You are so presumptuous! You are all so presumptuous!"

Nanny Zhu lowered her eyes and looked at Yixiu lying on the ground as if she were looking at an ant.

"The Emperor said that you have harmed concubines and the heirs of the throne, that you have no talent or virtue, and that you are unworthy of the position of Empress. Therefore, he has announced to the world that you have been deposed."

"Harming concubines and killing the heirs." Yixiu repeated these two sentences over and over again. Suddenly, she burst into tears. She crawled to the gate, banged on it and cried, "Your Majesty! Do you still remember my Honghui? He was so young, but because of that bitch Rouze, all the palace doctors were trapped, my Honghui died! Your Majesty! Rouze deserves to die! The bastard she gave birth to also deserves to die! My Honghui is gone, how can those bitches be worthy of conceiving an heir to the throne! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Nanny Zhu and others originally thought that the queen was a born vicious woman, but they never expected that there was such a background.

Although I felt a little touched, I still maintained my previous attitude.

After Yixiu fainted from crying, Nanny Zhu quickly asked someone to carefully lift Yixiu to the bed.

"What a poor man he is," whispered another maid.

"But there are also hateful aspects." said Nanny Zhu.

The new ladies had no idea about the fate of the deposed queen, after all, they had not been with her for long. But Zhen Huan guessed that the musk buried in the Broken Jade Pavilion was most likely from the deposed queen.

After the queen was deposed, the one who was actually the most excited was Concubine Hua of Yikun Palace.

She had been dreaming of the position of wife since she was in the palace, and after entering the palace, she dreamed of the position of queen.

Now that Yixiu has finally stepped down, she is already thinking about it!

"Songzhi, go and call Concubine Cao."

Songzhi agreed and went to Qixiang Palace.

Now, there are only Concubine Cao and Wen Yi, mother and daughter, in Qixiang Palace. Without Concubine Li to pressure her, Concubine Cao feels that the air in Qixiang Palace has become fresher.

Thanks to her cleverness.

Ever since there were rumors of ghosts and gods in the palace, and seeing that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang frequently led things towards Yu Ying'er, she guessed that they were going to take action against the timid Concubine Li.

That's why she used the excuse that Wen Yi was sick that day to hide away, just to allow the plans of Zhen Huan and others to proceed smoothly.

By then, even if Concubine Li spoke out Hua Fei without thinking, with General Nian around, nothing would happen to Hua Fei.

Things turned out just as she expected. Concubine Li was sent to the cold palace, and Qixiang Palace became the territory of her and her daughter.

Now, he just needs to work harder to climb up and strive to become the master of Qixiang Palace and live in the main hall.

Only then will it be truly fulfilling!

It was because she didn't go that day that she missed the good show of the deposed queen encountering a ghost. After listening to Concubine Hua's account of what happened that day, she always felt that this matter was related to Concubine Yue, but she didn't know how she did it.

However, even if she couldn't guess her tricks, she would never look down on this noble lady Yue again. With such scheming and tricks, and the royal heir in her belly, if it was a boy, she would have a promising future.

Concubine Cao looked at her daughter crawling around on the bed and analyzed the princes under the emperor's wing.

The third prince took after Concubine Qi's brain. It is said that he only finished learning the Three Hundred Thousand Classics when he was twelve years old. Now his progress in the Four Books and Five Classics is very slow. Unless all the princes are gone, the emperor will never choose him.

The Fourth Prince's existence is equivalent to constantly reminding the Emperor how he was schemed by the Eighth Prince and others, how he was scolded by the late Emperor, and how he was impeached by the censors of the previous dynasty. As for this son, the Emperor probably wishes he had never existed.

Fifth Prince, I heard that those who are weak can only be recuperated in the hot spring palace in Rehe. I am afraid he cannot survive the winter in the Forbidden City, let alone the future.

To Concubine Cao, the most important thing in the world is her daughter, and she would do anything for her daughter. She thought that if Wen Yi had a close brother, and this close brother was the next emperor, then even if Wen Yi got married in the future, she would have someone to rely on.

With this in mind, she decided to get closer to Wen Yuan. If Wen Yuan was pregnant with a boy, that would be good. It would also allow Wen Yi and the little prince to spend more time together. After spending more time together, they would naturally develop a sister-brother relationship.

If it was a girl, she would have another baby after this one. Anyway, she had already been injured when giving birth to Wen Yi, so Wen Yi would not have any brothers.

When Songzhi came over, what she saw was a mother-daughter blind date. She cleared her throat, interrupting this heartwarming scene.

"Lady Cao, our queen wants you to come over."

"Please excuse me, Aunt Songzhi, to make this trip. I'll go over after I settle Wen Yi."

Songzhi was conceited about being a popular maidservant beside Concubine Hua, and she dared to hold her chin high even in front of the former queen. Naturally, she would not give any face to a minor noblewoman like Concubine Cao. She just hummed indifferently and left.

Concubine Cao had long been accustomed to Songzhi's disrespect, so she just let the wet nurses coax Wen Yi. Fearing that Concubine Hua would become impatient, she quickly rushed to Yikun Palace.
