A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

The person who came was the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, not the deputy envoy Wu Zhaonan. Concubine Qing asked Wu Zhaonan to do the job and promised that after the task was accomplished, she would promote him to the position of chief envoy.

After the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory came in, he saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am humbled and I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do?"

Xiao Rui asked, "Did you predict that it would snow today? Did you leak anything?"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory said righteously, "Your Majesty, I have never calculated it, and I have never leaked a single word of anything I have detected without your permission."

Concubine Qing stood aside, very satisfied with such an answer. Fortunately, the person who came was the envoy who spoke up for justice. If Wu Zhaonan had really been called, he might have said the wrong thing in a panic.

Concubine Yu said something indifferent, but it actually reminded everyone, "Even if nothing has been leaked, I don't know if the people below will."

"It would be better to check whether anyone from the harem has entered or left the Imperial Observatory in recent days."

After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Qing looked at Imperial Concubine Yu with eyes that seemed to want to expose her. This bitch from the foreign tribe, she had never done anything to trip her up, yet she was targeting her like this!

Xiao Rui: "Go check!"

Xia Lu: "Yes."

After the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory left, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was also called up. As soon as he entered the room, he subconsciously glanced at Concubine Qing, and then bowed and greeted her as if nothing had happened.

When Song Qingwan saw him, she asked with resentment, "Butler, why are the soles of my shoes so slippery? What on earth is placed underneath..."

The butler picked up the shoes as if nothing had happened, examined them carefully and said, "Madam, these are just like ordinary shoes. Maybe they are more slippery because of the snow."

Haitang pointed at him and said, "You are talking nonsense. There is clearly a layer of grease on it. You must be deliberately trying to harm my queen and the heir to the throne!"

"Your Majesty, look! There's something wrong with these shoes!"

After Xiao Rui took a look, he knew everything.

The steward saw that the emperor had a bad expression on his face, so he knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, it must be the fault of those subordinates who did not do their job well and used the wrong materials. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" After saying that, he slapped himself in the face.

When Song Qingwan saw this scene, tears welled up in her eyes.

"My child was killed by a single word of incompetence..."

When Xiao Rui saw Song Qingwan crying, he felt so distressed that he patted her on the back.

"How could you do such a thing! Concubine Yu was pregnant with the heir to the throne, yet she was so careless. All the palace maids who participated in making these shoes should be executed! As the chief steward, you let your subordinates make such a mistake, so you are to blame. Remove your position as chief steward and punish you with eternal imprisonment!"

After hearing this, the butler knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, I am too old to do the work of the Eternal Lane... Your Majesty!"

Xiao Rui: "If you can't do it, you will die."

After hearing this, the steward immediately stopped talking.

After a while, Xia Lu came back to report after finishing his investigation.

"Your Majesty, according to an insider, someone has seen Yan'er, who is beside Concubine Qing, going in and out of the Imperial Observatory."

After hearing this, Xiao Rui looked at Concubine Qing coldly.

"Check what Yan'er did at the Imperial Observatory and who she met!"

Xiao Rui's eyes made Concubine Qing shudder, but Wu Zhaonan came over and confessed his crime.

"Your Majesty, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory is seeking an audience outside and said that Yan'er had come to see her."

"Let her in!"

After Wu Zhaonan came in, he replied, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Miss Yan'er once came to me before her death and asked me to calculate the day when the snow would fall. She said that she had to go out of the palace to do something in a few days, so she wanted to avoid this day to avoid delaying things. Then she gave me a bag of silver. I just wanted to do her a favor... so..."

Concubine Qing did not expect Wu Zhaonan to come uninvited, and she did not expect what he said.

Then Wu Zhaonan cursed again, "It turns out that Yan'er deceived me! I thought that the day for viewing plum blossoms must have been recommended by Yan'er to the Imperial Concubine. That Yan'er is really hateful, deceiving both sides!"

"I heard that Yan'er's sister Ying'er died in Xinzheku a few days ago. Maybe she hated Concubine Yu because of this, and that's why she planned all this!"

Concubine Qing echoed, "Yes, yes. Before she died, Yan'er told me that this day was a good day. As soon as I heard that, I decided to set the date. Who would have thought that Yan'er was so cruel and vicious? It's really sad... Alas..." Then she shook her head in pretended helplessness.

Anyway, Yan'er is dead now and there is no evidence.

Imperial Concubine Qing knelt down and said, "It is my fault for not realizing Yan'er's evil intentions. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhaonan also said sincerely, "I am also guilty! It is all my fault. I would like to be demoted to the lowest position and become a servant. Please forgive me for the sake of Concubine Yu and the heir."

Wu Zhaonan was very cunning. The reason he acted like this was because he knew in his heart that since Xia Lu had taken action, he would certainly not be able to hide his affairs. Instead of letting the emperor convict him, he might as well plead guilty himself!

He always spoke for Concubine Qing, because he was sure that as long as Concubine Qing could turn the situation around, it would not matter if he suffered a little now, as he would be able to rise to prominence in the future!

Song Qingwan looked at Wu Zhaonan, his eyes were full of shrewd calculations. This man was very smart, but he ignored the fact that the current emperor had single-handedly eliminated dissidents and stood out to sit firmly on the throne. He would not fail to see his cleverness.

Xiao Rui said, "In that case, then you should go to Yongxiang to clean the toilet with the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! If you make unauthorized calculations of astronomical phenomena and leak them, you will never be employed by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory!"

Wu Zhaonan endured the humiliation in front of him and said gratefully, "I... no, I thank the emperor very much!"

Now, the two trusted maids around Imperial Concubine Qing, as well as the wings she had placed in various palaces, were all eliminated. But it didn't matter, she comforted herself, she was still an imperial concubine, and everything would turn around one day.

The next second, the emperor said, "Your Highness is tired these days. The people around you have all had such bad things happen to you. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the harem for now. Take a good rest."

"Promote Concubine Yu to Concubine Yu as a sign of consolation."

"Xu agrees to restore his position as noble lady, and Noble Lady Yu will reward him with 100 taels of gold."

After hearing this, Xu Yinshang happily expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" As expected, she had made the right bet this time. In the past, she had been serving as Concubine Qing's lackey without any benefit. Instead, she was called a bitch by her in public!

Concubine Qing forced a smile and said, "Yes, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty..."

Song Qingwan looked at Concubine Qing's distraught look. Is it sad? Even sadder things are waiting for you later! This is just the beginning...

She knew that losing a child alone was not enough to completely overthrow Concubine Qing, but if she had her claws removed, it would be much easier to deal with her!
