Balin Meiruo was choked by Eyinzhu's words and couldn't find any good words for a while.

Since returning to the palace, Ruyi, the Empress Dowager, has never visited Yanwan and the two princes in Yongshou Palace. Unexpectedly, she was so calm when facing the mastermind behind the assassination of her only child.

Yihuan felt sorry for what happened to Yanwan, and she couldn't understand how Ruyi, as a mother, could be so indulgent towards the mastermind who wanted to assassinate her own child!

Yan Wan had no mood to quarrel with Balin Meiruo, so Yi Huan stepped forward and said, "The Emperor has already found out that the assassin is from Balin's tribe and has executed him on the spot. I'm afraid it won't be long before the assassin's mother clan is held accountable!"

"It's been so long since I returned to the palace. Hasn't the Queen ever asked Ying Changzai why she did this?"

Balin Meiruo looked at Ruyi guiltily, not knowing how to explain to her.

Ruyi couldn't tell whether all this was true or false.

Yi Huan sneered and continued, "Does the Empress think that the confession obtained by the Emperor himself is false? Is it to cover up someone's crime and deliberately make up a lie to deceive the Empress? Or, after returning to the palace, the Empress's mind was on Yongshou Palace, so she ignored Ying Changzai?"

Ruyi was caught in the cross-examination by Yihuan's words, and her expression suddenly turned ugly in front of all the concubines.

Hai Lan was very angry when she saw Yihuan dared to question Ruyi in public and embarrassed Ruyi. She stood up and pointed at Yihuan.

"How dare you disrespect the Empress, Concubine Shu! You are so bold! The Empress has her own reasons for doing things, why does a mere concubine like you need to interfere? You are overstepping your bounds!"

Yi Huan raised her head slightly and looked at the angry Hai Lan. "Ying Chang is just a small concubine, but she dared to poke the scar of Ling Guifei, who is in charge of the six palaces, in public. Is that bold? Yupin, you are just a small concubine, but you dared to criticize me and yell at me. Is that an act of usurpation?"

"Empress, is it true that Ying Changzai and Yupin behaved like this according to the rules set by the Empress? This really opened my eyes!"

Ruyi blushed immediately. Seeing this, Rong Pei immediately questioned, "Empress Shu, be careful with your words! Isn't it disrespectful to question the Empress to question her? What did Concubine Yu say that was wrong?"

Yi Huan said, "As the mother of my child, I am puzzled that I have ignored the murderer when my child was assassinated. Is there anything wrong with asking the Empress for advice? The Empress is the legitimate mother of all the princes and princesses in the harem. Since the Fourteenth and Sixteenth Princes contracted the smallpox, has the Empress ever visited them in Yongshou Palace?"

Yihuan's words clearly stated that she was incompetent as the queen, which made Ruyi very angry.

Balin Meiruo, in order to change the subject and to cover up her guilty conscience, spoke up for Ruyi, "The Fourteenth and Sixteenth Princes are suffering from smallpox, a fatal disease. The Empress is a noble woman, why must she go to visit them?"

E Yinzhu immediately retorted: "Isn't the emperor's dragon body noble? Didn't the emperor visit Yongshou Palace many times?"

Balin Meiruo said: "What would happen if the emperor went? Didn't the Fourteenth and Sixteenth Princes die young? It's just a waste of effort!"

Balin Meiruo's words attracted the attention of all the concubines. Yan Wan was so angry that she stood up and said angrily: "Ying Changzai, what are you talking about? Are you cursing my child?!"

Balin Meiruo said immediately, "It's not that I cursed Concubine Ling's child. It's that Concubine Ling did too many evil things and got her retribution!"

Yan Wan was extremely angry. If she hadn't been so sad and weak these days, she would have slapped Balin Meiruo in the face.

Yihuan and others came together to help Yanwan fight against Balin Meiruo. Seeing so many people bullying her mother, the Sixth Princess Jingxuan rushed over and yelled at Yanwan.

"Noble Concubine Ling, you are such a bad woman! It's all because of you that my mother and my grandfather's family were deprived of their titles! Noble Concubine Ling, you have done so many evil things that God took my fourteenth and sixteenth brothers away from me! If you continue to be so arrogant, the next ones will be my seventh sister, ninth sister, and fifteenth brother!"

"If you didn't have them, how could you still help manage the six palaces? This is all retribution for you, you deserve it! It was you who killed your fourteenth and sixteenth brothers, they didn't want to be your children, it would have been even better if your fifteenth brother had also died of smallpox!"

Yan Wan knew that she had lost the Fourteenth Prince Yonglu and the Sixteenth Prince. Ruyi, Balin Meiruo and others must be laughing at her and gloating over her misfortune in private.

But Yan Wan really didn't expect that even a child would dare to say such vicious words in front of so many people. That was her half brother!

Yan Wan was angry and hurt, her hands were shaking as she pointed at the Sixth Princess. Yi Huan hurriedly supported Yan Wan and was about to scold Balin Meiruo and her daughter for Yan Wan, but Yan Wan had already fainted from anger at the Sixth Princess.

Yihuan screamed, and hurriedly sent Yanwan back to Yongshou Palace with Eyinzhu.

Balin Meiruo proudly hugged the Sixth Princess and said with a smile: "Well said! It really makes people happy. Jingxuan is really my mother's good daughter!"

The Sixth Princess smiled proudly, "Of course!"

After the Emperor took Ruyi and Yanwan to Mulan Paddock, Balin Meiruo took advantage of the Emperor and Yanwan's absence to make trouble in the harem and took the Sixth Princess Jingxuan back to her own palace.

Balin Meiruo blamed the people of Concubine Ling's group for the reason that she was deprived of her position as a concubine. She also secretly instilled hatred towards Concubine Ling into the Sixth Princess Jingxuan.

At this time, a smallpox epidemic broke out in the palace. The Fourteenth Prince Yonglu and the Sixteenth Prince fell ill because they were too young. Balin Meiruo felt that this was a punishment from God on Concubine Ling.

These words were told to the Sixth Princess Jingxuan many times, so today in Yikun Palace, the Sixth Princess Jingxuan could speak such outrageous words so openly.

When the news reached the Yangxin Palace, the emperor immediately flew into a rage.

"How could Ying Changzai and Jing Xuan say such things? How is Concubine Ling? What did the imperial physician say?"

Jinzhong was so angry that his teeth were itching. He finally managed to cheer up his master, but he ended up meeting this crazy mother and daughter. Jinzhong wanted to kill Balin Meiruo and her daughter with his own hands!

Jinzhong's eyes were red with distress, "Yes, everyone in Yikun Palace heard it! Concubine Ling was so angry that she fainted. Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu sent Concubine Ling back to Yongshou Palace."

"The imperial physician has gone, but no news has come yet. Imperial Concubine Ling has just lost two princes, how can she endure such a blow again? Your Majesty, I feel sorry for Imperial Concubine Ling and the two princes!"

The emperor said angrily: "Balin is such a vicious woman. I was busy dealing with the smallpox epidemic and had no time to question her. Now she has caused such a disaster. She deserves to die!"

"Li Yu, banish Balin to the cold palace immediately, and confine the Sixth Princess to Xiefang Palace. Once I have investigated the assassination at Mulan Paddock, I will deal with them together! Jinzhong, go to Yongshou Palace!"
