"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"

Concubine Jia woke up as if from a dream, realizing that she might have fallen into a trap set by Concubine Ling, and hurriedly knelt down to explain.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Your Majesty, I was frightened by Meipin and Sulian just now, so I said some nonsense. The deaths of Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince have nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, please do not believe what they say. It was Concubine Ling who deliberately framed me in order to escape punishment!"

The emperor helped Yan Wan up with pity, "Hurry up. Concubine Jia, are you still being stubborn at this time?"

Concubine Jia refused to admit it. "I am not being stubborn. I really have never done these things. Your Majesty, please understand!"

The emperor sneered, "Didn't you want to know why I summoned Meipin that day? I suspected that Meipin was a pawn planted by the Queen Mother beside me, so I asked Li Yu to summon her."

"Who would have thought that you would be so guilty that you would have the evil intention of poisoning Meipin. If Yan Wan hadn't accidentally seen Li Xin testing poison on Meipin, she would have thought something was fishy and rushed to Yonghe Palace to warn her."

"Princess Mei also misunderstood and thought that the matter was exposed. In order to avenge her child, she confessed all the evil things she had done."

"If it weren't for this, I would never know that it was you two vicious women who killed Empress Xiaoxian and Yongcong!"

Jia Fei heard that the emperor had known about Meipin's crimes for a long time, so why did he tell it after so long? Then she thought, it was because there was no evidence to prove that she was the mastermind!

The Emperor first had Concubine Mei poison Concubine Qing to defeat the Empress Dowager's pawn, and then pretended to sentence Concubine Mei to death and hid her in order to make her let down her guard.

And now that Su Lian has come back to life, she can testify that it was Li Xin who killed Su Lian, and she can be convicted!

Concubine Jia realized this and knew that it was useless for her to say anything.

Concubine Jia pointed at Yan Wan and asked, "How could you rescue Su Lian? When did you doubt me? Was your fall from favor a deliberate illusion created by you just to lure me to Yongshou Palace?"

Yan Wan explained, "Empress Xiaoxian suddenly fell into the water and died. I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to find Su Lian to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, I saw Su Lian being assassinated by a man in black! Fortunately, a guard heard some noise and came out to check. The man in black was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, so he pushed the unconscious Su Lian into the water, and then my people rescued Su Lian."

"Su Lian was injured so badly that she has been in a coma. I can only take care of her and wait for the day when she recovers and wakes up. After Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the throne was vacant. You have repeatedly caused trouble in the harem, which made me suspect that you have evil intentions."

"Later, you wanted to poison Meipin, and Meipin let it slip in panic, which made me realize that Empress Xiaoxian's death was indeed related to you! So I advised Meipin to report it to the emperor, but the evidence was too little to convict you, so you have been at large for so many years!"

"The Emperor ordered me to secretly investigate your crimes, but I discovered that you, the Fourth Prince, and the ministers were in league with each other. A few months ago, when Su Lian woke up, I had planned to deal with this matter after I gave birth."

"But I didn't expect you to be so cruel and colluded with Grandma Tian to murder the Thirteenth Prince, and even framed me for all these crimes! I reported it to the emperor and played a good trick to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Concubine Jia looked at Yan Wan in disbelief and sneered, "I never knew that Concubine Ling was so loyal to Empress Xiaoxian?"

Yan Wan said: "It was the Emperor who rescued me from Qixiang Palace, and it was Empress Xiaoxian who personally trained me, so I was able to be a noble lady at the beginning. I am grateful for the kindness of the Emperor and Empress Xiaoxian, and I will seek justice for Empress Xiaoxian even if I have to sacrifice my life!"

Concubine Jia never thought that Ying'er, who had been bullied in her palace, would one day bring her to such an irreparable state. Concubine Jia really hated herself for not being more ruthless at the beginning, so that she would not lose miserably now!

Concubine Jia pointed at Yan Wan and cursed, "Concubine Ling is really loyal and brave. It turns out that her stay in Qixiang Palace was not in vain. Otherwise, this self-torture trick would not be so realistic. Even I was deceived by you, a bitch!"

When the emperor saw that Concubine Jia had reached this point and still refused to repent and continued to insult Yan Wan, he kicked Concubine Jia to the ground and cursed her.

"You vicious woman, you have harmed so many of my princes and princesses! It is not a pity that you die. Didn't you dream of letting your son ascend to my position? Didn't you dream of marrying a wife born in a prince's mansion for Yongcheng?"

"Okay, I'll grant you your wish! I'll issue an order to let Yongsheng be adopted as the son of Prince Lu. As for you, killing you would be too easy for you. Li Yu, pass on my order that Concubine Jia murdered Empress Xiaoxian and the heir to the throne, and all her titles shall be stripped away and imprisoned in Qixiang Palace, with twenty lashes a day!"

Concubine Jia stirred up trouble in the harem just to let her son have the chance to ascend the throne, just for the instructions of Prince Yu. When Concubine Jia heard that Yongsheng had no chance of succession and was not even the emperor's son, she immediately collapsed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! Yongsheng is your son, he is innocent, please take back your decision!"

The emperor cursed, "Yongcheng is my son, but then Yongcong and Yongjing are not my descendants? You, a vicious woman, have killed so many of my children, and you still have the nerve to beg me?"

Concubine Jia suddenly pointed at Concubine Mei and said, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Mei who personally killed Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince. Since Your Majesty was able to spare Concubine Mei's life, why can't you forgive Yongsheng?"

The emperor said: "I spared Meipin's life in order to expose your crimes today. I never said I would forgive her!"

At that time, the emperor sent Concubine Mei to a farm outside the palace to work as a servant. Concubine Mei, who had been pampered for many years, naturally could not do such things, and suffered a lot for this.

Meipin was determined to avenge her child, and she endured it no matter how hard it was. Today, seeing her enemy fall into such a miserable state, Meipin has nothing to cling to in this world.

Meipin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a heinous crime and I know that I have let down Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince. I am willing to die to atone for my crime. I only ask Your Majesty to give me and Concubine Jia a chance to end things before I die!"

Yan Wan also pleaded for Meipin, "Your Majesty, all the wrong things Meipin did were for her child. Your Majesty, please agree to her request."

The emperor nodded and retreated with everyone else.

Concubine Jia didn't think she was wrong at all, and didn't care what Concubine Mei would say, "Concubine Mei, don't blame me for being cruel. You are born in a lowly family, how can you be the mother of your son? You can only blame yourself for being stupid and believing my lies!"

Meipin ignored these sarcasms and said to herself: "I was locked up outside the palace by the emperor as a lowly servant and suffered countless tortures. Fortunately, I am good at playing the pipa and was appreciated by the master, so my life has become much better."

"I heard that the emperor wanted to test the riding and archery skills of several princes, so I spent all the money I had saved over the years and finally bribed someone to put a silver needle on the saddle of the eighth prince. Not long after, I heard the good news that the eighth prince fell off his horse and became disabled."

"My Lady Jiafei, are you happy to hear this news? Are you as happy as I am?"

Concubine Jia was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Concubine Mei, "You, the vicious woman, are the one who harmed my daughter Yongxuan? I will kill you!"

Meipin fought back while laughing wildly, "Hahaha, so Concubine Jia also feels sorry for her own child? This is what "tit for tat" means. I have finally gotten my revenge!"
