Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Just as Defei and Yixiu were walking towards Yonghe Palace, in the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City, the temple door was closed and a master and servant were having a conversation.

"What do you think Concubine De meant just now? Did she already know that I was the one who killed Concubine Min?"

"I can't see it. Besides, Concubine Min is gone now. As long as we clean up the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen, I don't think anyone will be able to trace us."

"However, I think what Madam Defei said makes a lot of sense."

"She said that Concubine Min was favored by the emperor and was born in the Bordered Yellow Banner. I'm afraid the emperor will definitely ask for an explanation. Since we've already taken action, why not just go all the way and find a scapegoat."

"Oh? That's a good idea."

The concubine sitting on the chair gently stroked her armor, which was a reward from Emperor Kangxi and was unique in the harem.

"Is it time for those of us in Chuxiu Palace to take some action?"

The servant standing aside understood and went out to look for someone.

--------

The next day, Concubine Min's funeral was held, and everyone was about to leave after bidding farewell.

A palace maid suddenly rushed out, stopped in front of the guard of honor and shouted:

"I want to report Yipin for murder. She killed Minfei. This crime is unforgivable!"

"I want to report Yipin for murder. She killed Minfei. This crime is unforgivable!"

"I want to report Yipin for murder. She killed Minfei. This crime is unforgivable!"

After shouting three times in a row, the ceremonial guard heading to the imperial mausoleum had to stop.

"Concubine Min is about to be buried. We can't delay the funeral. Why don't you drag her away?!"

"Who are you to guarantee what you say?!"

Two scolding voices came at the same time. The one who wanted to drag the person away was Concubine Yi, and the one who asked about the palace maid's identity was Concubine Yi.

The emperor would not personally attend the funeral of a concubine.

There was no queen in the palace at that time, and Concubine Yi had many sons, so among the concubines, her status was naturally higher.

"How can we allow a palace maid like her to talk nonsense in such an occasion? We should just drag her away and beat her to death!"

Concubine Yi was furious!

She recognized this palace maid; she was a servant in Chuxiu Palace.

She felt justified in scolding him because she herself had never done anything like that.

"It seems that Sister Yipin recognizes this person. She is so impatient and stops people from talking. Could it be that something is wrong..."

It was Shu Fei who spoke.

"What do you mean?" Yipin asked, "Could it be that you ordered this bitch to slander me?!"

"Let's go back to the palace first. This place is not far from Yonghe Palace. If you don't mind, you sisters can come to Yonghe Palace to listen together."

Zhuxi turned around and ordered: "Zhuxi, go and invite the emperor to Yonghe Palace. Do it quietly and don't let outsiders know."

In the Yonghe Palace, everyone sat down.

Defei was considered half the host, sitting side by side with Yifei in the main seat. Yixiu was a junior and had already gone to the side hall to avoid the taboo.

Concubine Yi said, "Tell me in detail what you just said."

The maid said, "My name is Cui Liu. I am a servant in Chuxiu Palace. I used to serve in the small kitchen. I saw with my own eyes that Yipin took something from outside the palace and asked someone to put it in the hands of Concubine Min."

De Fei asked: "Why didn't you say it then, but now?"

Cui Liu said, "I didn't dare to do it at first, but later when Concubine Yi found out about it, she threatened me. I was not able to sneak out until Concubine Yi's funeral."

As they were talking, Emperor Kangxi walked in and Concubine De gave up her seat for the emperor.

"What happened?" Emperor Kangxi said while sitting in the main seat, and Concubine Yi informed him of what had just happened.

The emperor continued, "You said you ran away secretly? Was there anyone guarding you before? How did they treat you? Tell me one by one."

Cui Liu introduced that the eunuch guarding her was an unfamiliar one. There was a scar on his left cheek under his eyebrow, which he had never seen before in Chuxiu Palace.

"San Dezi, send someone to search Chuxiu Palace."

After a cup of tea, San Dezi came back and said, "Your Majesty, I found a young eunuch in Chuxiu Palace. He had hanged himself. There was indeed a scar on the left side of his face, and he also left a letter."

The confession in the letter was naturally consistent with what Cui Liu said.

After Kangxi finished reading the letter, Sandezi came forward and handed over two packages, one containing beans and the other containing honey.

"What else do you have to say?" Kangxi raised his eyes, his tone was flat and his eyes were cold.

Anyone who has served Kangxi for a long time knows that in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, Concubine Yi at this time is almost a corpse.

"If your majesty thinks so, I have no way to defend myself! But I dare to swear on the Khorchin clan that I have never done these things, otherwise our Khorchin clan will end up without descendants!"

Concubine Yi was obviously not the one who understood the emperor's mind.

Even when she was defending herself, there was still a hint of anger in her tone.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Kangxi's expression became even darker.

"No, no, no, please swear not to bring the entire Khorchin clan with you. Our clan is divided into many branches, and I, your concubine, am not very familiar with my sister."

The person who was speaking was a noble lady, who was also from Khorchin. However, not only was she unfamiliar with Concubine Yi, but there were even many conflicts between their maternal families.

"You..." Yipin said, "Your Majesty, please believe me. I will never do such a thing!"

"Since you have nothing to say to defend yourself, I have no other options. I will take you to the cold palace and let the aunt in charge investigate."

After saying this, Kangxi left Yonghe Palace.

Naturally, someone took Concubine Yi away and temporarily detained her in the cold palace.

Everyone had their own thoughts. Some were half-believing and half-doubting, some were secretly glad, and some felt that Concubine Yi deserved it.

"This Concubine Yi actually dared to commit violence in the palace. She is so outrageous." The speaker was Concubine Shu. She fiddled with a pair of her earrings, her tone full of sarcasm.

This kind of verbal dispute is of the utmost uselessness.

Defei has always been scheming. She knew that the more she said at this time, the more mistakes she would make, and she had to be extra careful about her manners. She just listened to Shufei and Yifei making a few sarcastic remarks from the left and right, and then sent everyone out.

After seeing the last person walk out of Yonghe Palace, Yixiu came in to serve Defei.

"Mother, you have been working hard all morning. I have just asked the kitchen to cook longan and red date soup for you. Mother got up early today, so you can take a rest after you finish drinking it."

Yixiu was sensible and did not mention the incident again.

But she and Concubine De both knew that the real culprit behind the scenes would appear again.
