Perhaps it was because she hadn't heard this voice for a long time, Concubine Jia couldn't remember who the voice belonged to and could only stare outside the door.

Concubine Jia looked at the woman dressed as a palace maid outside the door and took a few steps back in fear, pointing at her in disbelief.

"Mei, Meipin? Why is it you? Haven't you been sentenced to death by the Emperor? Could it be that Concubine Ling disobeyed the Emperor's decree and saved you?! Concubine Ling, what crime should you be punished for!"

After many years, Concubine Mei finally stood in front of her enemy again. She was extremely excited and kept smiling strangely at Concubine Jia.

"Haha, Concubine Jia is always thinking about harming me. While I am still alive, Concubine Jia doesn't ask me, but instead blames Concubine Ling."

"Empress Jia, didn't you ask Empress Ling to ask me in person who killed Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince? It was me!"

"I believed your rumors, Concubine Jia, and thought that Empress Xiaoxian had ordered Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian to poison my poor child. So I was deceived and killed the innocent Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince on your behalf, Concubine Jia!"

When Concubine Jia saw Meipin coming back from the dead, she was a little panicked. She was even more frightened when she heard what Meipin said, and she quickly denied it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can even murder Concubine Qing, who has always been on good terms with you. How can the words of such a madman be credible? Don't even think about slandering me!"

Meipin didn't want to ask anything more, she just wanted to get a definite answer from Jiafei, an answer that she and her poor child had been waiting for for many years!

Meipin looked at Jiafei, stared into her eyes and asked, "Madam Jiafei, I have told Madam Lingfei the truth as you ordered. Now, is it your turn, Madam Jiafei, to tell me whether you killed my child?!"

Concubine Jia subconsciously avoided Concubine Mei's gaze and said, "It was Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian who fed cinnabar to the fish and caused you to give birth to a stillborn baby. What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that Concubine Jia refused to admit it, Concubine Mei was not in a hurry. She took out a dagger from her sleeve and circled around Concubine Jia and her servant.

"Since it was Imperial Noble Consort Huixian who did the evil, and Consort Jia was loyal to Empress Xiaoxian, why did Consort Jia tell me the "truth" in the end? Why did she bring Mo Xin, who was suffering from smallpox, to see me?"

"During the Eastern Tour, why did Concubine Jia tell me that Empress Xiaoxian was already dying? Why did she kindly test my food for poison when the Emperor summoned me to question me?"

"I had no appetite, so I fed the food to the parrot. If not, I would have eaten the poisoned rice and would have bled to death like the parrot! Concubine Jia, how do you think I can repay your kindness?"

Concubine Jia widened her eyes, "You knew the food was poisonous? Then why..."

Suddenly, Concubine Jia reacted and pointed at Yan Wan and asked, "It's you? What did you say to the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace that day?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "I'm talking about Concubine Jia's affairs. As for what Concubine Jia did, you are the only one who knows it best. Why would Concubine Jia ask me?"

Concubine Jia felt like she had fallen into a trap. Was Concubine Ling planning to use Concubine Mei as a handle to threaten her?

Concubine Jia had finally defeated Concubine Ling, so how could she watch Concubine Ling have a chance to make a comeback?

Concubine Ling had just given birth and was weak. Li Xin was quite skilled, and it would not be difficult for the two of them to deal with Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei together!

Concubine Jia decided to go all out. "Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince have been dead for many years. You two lunatics are trying to pin the crime on me based on your unfounded and groundless talk? Li Xin, Concubine Mei and Concubine Ling have lost their minds. Let's send them off!"

Li Xin agreed and was about to take action, but Meipin swung the dagger in her hand at them, and Concubine Jia Li Xin was unable to get close to them for a while.

At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open was heard again. "Empress Jia, do you and Li Xin still remember me? The water in Jinan is so cold that it almost chilled my bones!"

Concubine Jia looked back in a daze at the woman outside the door who looked like a human or a ghost. She was so scared that she screamed and fell to the ground.

"Su Lian? Aren't you already... Are you a human or a ghost? Don't come over here!"

Su Lian walked forward a few steps silently, staring at Concubine Jia with eyes as calm as water and without warmth.

Suddenly she smiled, "Empress Jia, what are you afraid of? Didn't you send Li Xin to tell me that there was something strange about Empress Xiaoxian falling into the water, and asked me to meet her in the evening?"

"I still remember that Li Xin was wearing a black robe that night. If I hadn't looked carefully, I wouldn't have recognized her at all. Li Xin was holding a pearl flower and said it might be evidence left by the murderer who killed Empress Xiaoxian."

"Empress Jia, you are so cruel. I have always obeyed you because of your kindness. But you harmed Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince, and you even refused to let me go. God has eyes, and today I can finally take revenge!"

Concubine Jia was terribly frightened. She didn't know what had gone wrong. How could Su Lian, who was killed by Li Xin, suddenly come back to life and be found by that little bitch Concubine Ling?

Meipin asked curiously, "What did Concubine Jia do to make the maidservants accompanying Empress Xiaoxian obey Concubine Jia's orders and take so many scapegoats for Concubine Jia?"

Yan Wan said, "Back then, Concubine Jia was the first to discover that Wang Qin, the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, wanted to have a concubine. She advised Empress Xiaoxian to marry a palace maid to Wang Qin so that she could always find out what the emperor was thinking."

"Empress Xiaoxian was persuaded by Concubine Jia. The original candidate was Su Lian, but Concubine Jia said that Su Lian was too old and Wang Qin liked Lian Xin, so she let Lian Xin replace Su Lian."

"Su Lian was grateful to Concubine Jia when she heard the news, and she told her any news as soon as possible."

Just as Concubine Jia was about to deny it, another woman rushed in excitedly.

"So it was you, the vicious woman, who came up with this idea! What hatred do I have against you? You pushed me into the devil's pit of Wang Qin and ruined my life!"

Concubine Jia was getting more and more confused. "Lianxin? Why are you here too?"

Lianxin trembled with fear when she thought of the painful experiences she had with Wang Qin.

"After Empress Xiaoxian passed away, I wanted to die with her, but Concubine Ling stopped me. Otherwise, even if I died, I would not know who killed me!"

Jia Fei was helped up by Li Xin. She looked at Yan Wan and questioned, "What do you want to do by saving Su Lian and Meipin? Do you think the emperor will believe you? Do you think the emperor will come to Yongshou Palace again?!"

Yan Wan smiled at Concubine Jia and her servant, "Does Concubine Jia want to see the Emperor now?"

Concubine Jia had a bad premonition. Suddenly, the palace door opened and Li Yu held a whisk in his hand and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!"
