Ruyi and Hai Lan failed to solve the case and ended up getting themselves sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Concubine Jia was very proud of seeing this.

But Concubine Jia's purpose goes far beyond this. She wants to use a series of schemes to involve Concubine Ling as well.

Concubine Jia sent people to spread rumors that she had seen Zhachi and Zorlu drinking and gambling together, and that she saw Zorlu giving Zhachi a lot of silver.

I heard that Wei Yang felt that her daughter was wronged and had many resentful words towards Ruyi.

Just as Concubine Jia was about to do so, she was surprised to find that someone had already taken action, which coincided with her own idea.

Concubine Jia guessed that it was Ruyi's doing, and took advantage of her action to bribe the torturers in the Ministry of Punishment, who beat Zhaqi to death!

Seeing that Concubine Ling was about to give birth, Ruyi had not yet caught Wei Yangshi's fault in the palace. Ruyi did not want to wait any longer, so while Wei Yangshi was wandering outside, she deliberately asked Sanbao to lead the way and brought Wei Yangshi to the Yikun Palace.

Soon afterwards, Yan Wan received news that not only was the death of the Thirteenth Prince related to her brother Zuolu, but someone also saw Wei Yang practicing witchcraft at home to curse the Queen!

Jinzhong followed the emperor's order to interrogate Yan Wan. As soon as he entered Yongshou Palace, he did not bother to avoid suspicion. He supported Yan Wan and spoke anxiously as they walked.

"The old lady was tricked into going to Yikun Palace, and they said that a rag doll that cursed the queen was found on her! The queen reported to the emperor and asked my master and Ling Yunche to go to the palace to search for evidence! Now the old lady and Master Zuolu have fallen into the hands of the queen!"

It seems that she can't escape this disaster. Yan Wan asked: "What about the emperor? What does the emperor mean? Do you believe it?"

Speaking of the emperor, Jinzhong felt a little lucky. "Your Majesty knows your Majesty very well. When the queen went to the emperor with the "evidence", the emperor did not believe it."

"It's just that the Empress said it with such confidence, and this is related to the succession of the Emperor, so the Emperor has to summon you to ask. Now we are just waiting for my Master's evidence!"

Yan Wan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "As long as the emperor doesn't believe it, we still have a chance to turn the tables. Jinzhong, it all depends on you!"

When Yanwan arrived at the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Ruyi was talking to the emperor inside.

Ruyi said, "This is what happened. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, it depends on how Li Yu and Ling Yunche report back. Your Majesty, since Hai Lan has been proven innocent, I want to personally take Hai Lan out of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Although the emperor had some prejudice against Hai Lan for many years, he would never believe that Hai Lan murdered the queen's brother for Yong Qi.

The purpose of locking Hailan in the Ministry of Punishment was, firstly, to silence the gossips of the people, and secondly, to use this incident to punish Hailan.

Of course the emperor would not object to Ruyi's words. "Yupin has been wronged. If you go to pick her up in person, it will show our attitude. Go ahead."

As soon as the palace door opened, Yan Wan greeted the emperor and Ruyi with a normal expression, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Queen!"

Ruyi's lips curled up into an imperceptible sneer, "It's Concubine Ling, you are pregnant, don't be scared by what your mother and brother do later!"

Yan Wan seemed not to understand the sarcasm in Ruyi's words, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Queen specially invited my mother to the Yikun Palace. Thank you very much for the Queen's hospitality!"

Ruyi felt unhappy when she saw the panic-stricken and angry look on Concubine Ling's face. She thought that with Li Yu and Ling Yunche there, everything would be safe, and Concubine Ling was just pretending to be calm.

Ruyi had to go to the Ministry of Punishment to pick up Hailan. It was a pity that she couldn't see with her own eyes Concubine Ling being unable to defend herself in front of the emperor and being punished by the angry emperor.

No one knew what happened in the Yangxin Palace. They only heard that Concubine Ling suddenly had a miscarriage and was about to give birth.

For the sake of the royal heir, the emperor suspended the interrogation and sent Concubine Ling back to Yongshou Palace.

The concubines in the other palaces soon received the news, and Ruyi and Hailan were on their way back to the Yanxi Palace.

Ruyi said, "Hai Lan, your suffering was not in vain. I will report to the Emperor to severely punish Concubine Ling's family and seek justice for you and Yongjing Jingsi!"

Hai Lan said, "I believe in you, sister! If we can use the charge of witchcraft to completely bring down Concubine Ling, then we can avenge the Thirteenth Prince and the Fifth Princess!"

Ye Xin was very worried that Hai Lan would suffer in the Ministry of Punishment. When she heard that the Queen was coming to take Hai Lan out, she hurriedly followed her.

Ye Xin cried, "My master has suffered! The Queen's plan not only saved my master, but also brought down Concubine Ling. It's so satisfying!"

Ruyi was a little unhappy. "When I reported to His Majesty that Wei Yang cursed me, His Majesty was still skeptical. It was obvious that he was deceived by Concubine Ling's hypocritical face! I am a little worried that Concubine Ling will use the dragon fetus in her belly to ask His Majesty to forgive her this time!"

Hai Lan came up with a good idea and told Ye Xin: "Even if the emperor is willing to forgive, he will only forgive Concubine Ling. I'm sure he won't let Wei Yang and her son go. Go to Yongshou Palace and tell Concubine Ling the news. I want to see if Concubine Ling will care about her biological mother and brother!"

Although the emperor had not yet punished Concubine Ling, the crimes of Concubine Ling and her daughter had spread throughout the palace.

Yan Wan was about to give birth, and the Yongshou Palace was in chaos. Chun Chan was waiting in the inner hall. Jin Zhong was not able to go in, so he was anxiously walking around outside.

Listening to Yanwan's cries of pain, Jinzhong hid in the corner, distressed and anxiously praying to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless his master to have a safe and smooth delivery, hoping that his master would suffer less pain.

At this moment, Ye Xin took advantage of the situation and ran into Yongshou Palace. Ye Xin deliberately shouted loudly at Yan Wan.

"I heard that Eunuch Li Yu and Guard Ling had arrested the old lady and Lord Zuolu in accordance with the emperor's order. They also found evidence from the Wei Mansion that the old lady cursed the queen, and Lord Zuolu bribed Master Zhaqi."

"The Emperor was furious when he heard this, and has issued an order to have the old lady and Lord Zorlu thrown into death row! I heard that in order to protect Lord Zorlu and Concubine Ling, the old lady admitted that all this was her own idea, and she bit her tongue to commit suicide!"

"It's a pity that the old lady died at such an old age and no one saw her off! Although Lord Zorlu has saved his life, I'm afraid he will be sent to Ningguta as a slave! How pitiful!"

Yan Wan knew that all this was not true, but the unbearable abdominal pain seemed to trigger the original owner's memories, and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Chunchan was anxious and distressed, and rushed out to scold: "Who allowed you to run to Yongshou Palace and talk nonsense? What are you still standing there for? Hurry and kick her out!"

Ye Xin listened to Yan Wan's painful groans, feeling extremely happy in his heart, and continued to shout, "Who made your master do so many unscrupulous things? This is your retribution! If you were innocent, why would you be afraid to hear this?"

Yihuan was shocked when she heard the rumors in the palace. She instinctively felt that someone was trying to harm Yanwan. She also heard that Yanwan was pregnant and was about to give birth, so she hurriedly took Hexi to Yongshou Palace.

Who would have thought that before he even stepped into Yongshou Palace, he would hear what Ye Xin said.

Yi Huan angrily said, "How dare you! How can Yongshou Palace allow a slave like you to run wild? Wang Chan, Chun Chan, drive this vicious thing out of Yongshou Palace!"

Chunchan and Wangchan cheered up and joined forces to throw Ye Xin, who was still cursing, out of Yongshou Palace.
