The emperor was furious. Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu were taken back to the palace and placed under house arrest. No one was allowed to visit them. Yonghuang and Yongzhang knelt at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the heavy rain.

When Concubine Chun woke up from her coma, she learned that Yonghuang and Yongzhang were framed by Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, which made the emperor furious and caused him to say such words in public.

As Concubine Chun rushed to the Yangxin Palace, she scolded Kexin, "Jiapin was always fawning on me, and I thought she was truly submitting. It turns out that she wanted to become the empress, and she was trying to sow discord between Yonghuang and me. What a good plan!"

"Hai Lan has always been on good terms with me, and she once lived in my Zhongcui Palace. Hai Lan has always been friendly with the six concubines without competing or competing with them. I never thought that she would have such a vicious mind!"

"Hai Lan is the most loyal to Concubine Xian. I think she wants Concubine Xian to ascend to the throne! If it weren't for God's eyes, and the emperor hadn't noticed their conspiracy, I'm afraid that after this incident, I still don't know who plotted against me and Yong Zhang!"

Concubine Chun trotted all the way to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and saw Yonghuang and Yongzhang kneeling in the rain begging. She only hated herself for being stupid and not discovering the evil ambitions of Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu in time, which caused Yongzhang so much pain.

Concubine Chun knelt beside Yong Zhang and pleaded loudly, "Your Majesty! My children and I know we are wrong. Please give me a chance to explain!"

Aunt Yuhu, who was beside the emperor, came out and said, "You all should go back. The emperor doesn't want to see you."

Concubine Chun pleaded, "Aunt Yuhu, please tell them to let the children go in and pay their respects to the Emperor!"

Yu Hu sighed and said, "Noble Concubine Chun, the emperor is still angry, so don't waste your time. It's raining so hard now, you should take the two princes back to the palace. Otherwise, you will anger the emperor again!"

After saying this, Yu Hu ignored the painful pleas of several people and turned to enter the Yangxin Palace.

Concubine Chun went to see the Queen Mother again, but she refused to see her and fainted again after a lot of trouble.

The Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace said to Fujia, "Noble Consort Chun is too proud. She has not even become the Empress but she is already acting like one. Now that something has happened, what's the point of looking for me?"

"I originally thought that she was obedient and weak, and that she would have to rely on me in everything when she became queen, so I promoted her. I didn't expect that she would be so useless!"

"Right now, she has no chance, so the only one left is Concubine Xian."

Fujia supported the Queen Mother and said, "In fact, Imperial Concubine Xian can also do it. She has no children, and the Ulanara clan has no one in the previous dynasty. She also pledged her loyalty to you in the marriage of Princess Hengti."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "There is indeed no one more suitable than her."

The funeral of Empress Xiaoxian was over, and the concubines and princes were all punished, and the emperor was upset. He thought about how the concubines flattered Concubine Chun during the funeral.

Ruyi would also plead for Concubine Yu. The emperor didn't want to see them, but suddenly he remembered that Concubine Ling had always been doing her duty and had never been involved in these bad things, so he went to Yongshou Palace.

In the Yikun Palace, Suo Xin looked at Ruyi who was adjusting her armor and asked in confusion, "My Lord, Concubine Yu has been confined to the Yanxi Palace. Aren't you going to plead for Concubine Yu?"

Ruyi fiddled with her armor and said, "During the funeral, I asked the emperor to reject my request. The emperor was angry and probably didn't want to hear anything I said."

"Everyone in the harem is in danger now, and Concubine Jia is also under house arrest. I'm sure no one will deliberately mistreat Hai Lan during her house arrest, so there's no need to worry."

Suo Xin thought for a moment and said, "The Lord is wise."

Yan Wan stayed beside the emperor quietly without saying a word. Recently, Concubine Chun and her son always knelt outside the Yangxin Palace and begged bitterly, which made the emperor very upset.

It was rare for the Emperor to have a quiet time in Yongshou Palace. He still couldn't get used to it and couldn't help asking, "Lingpin, don't you have anything to say?"

"Then does Your Majesty want to hear what I have to say?" Yan Wan asked gently.

Yan Wan was the one who gave the emperor the least worry in the palace, which made the emperor want to hear what Yan Wan thought. "Just say it!"

"Noble Concubine Chun and the two princes made mistakes in a moment of confusion. It is right for the emperor to punish them, but after all, they were framed and are the emperor's own flesh and blood. I heard that the eldest prince has been in a state of loss of mind recently, and the third prince has also become ill because of this. The emperor should punish them lightly and give them a heavy warning."

The emperor said angrily, "Although they were framed by Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, that's just because they are stupid! If they didn't really disrespect Empress Xiaoxian and covet her, how could they be provoked by a few words?!"

"Other things are fine, but what makes me most angry is that as my sons, they don't understand my thoughts and don't share the same mindset with me. They even made such a scene in front of the concubines and ministers. Isn't this a slap in my face?!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger." Yan Wan comforted softly, "The two princes just wanted to share your worries. They must know they are wrong now and will definitely not make the same mistake again in the future! Can you be magnanimous and forgive them this time?"

"Your Majesty, you must be very tired after working so hard for Empress Xiaoxian's funeral for so long. I have just learned a massage technique. Would Your Majesty like to try it?"

After saying this, Yan Wan did not wait for the emperor's reply and started pressing for him.

The emperor felt much more relaxed all over, and suddenly remembered something, which he told Zhongdao.

"Jinzhong, when Empress Xiaoxian recommended Concubine Chun to me, there was no third person present. Why was Concubine Chun so sure that she could become the successor? Did someone leak the news?!"

"Jinzhong, take your men to Zhongcui Palace and check carefully to see if there are any suspicious people!"

Jinzhong took the order and left. Yanwan couldn't help but complain in her heart: "You finally reacted. Your Yangxin Palace has long been infiltrated by Ruyi and is controlled by Ruyi's people. You should be more careful!"

Jinzhong took his men and searched the Zhongcui Palace. Anyone he disliked in the slightest was chased out by Jinzhong.

"Humph, your daughter was doing well at the beginning, serving the eldest prince in the Zhongcui Palace, helping the eldest and third princes to please the emperor. If you, a brainless idiot, hadn't listened to the rumors spread by that vicious woman, Yupin, how could your daughter have been bullied by Jiapin for five years!?"

"I never thought that there would be a day when you two would fight each other. God is watching over me. Today, I will seek justice for you, Master Ling!"

The Zhongcui Palace, which used to be bustling with people, has now become a place that people avoid. Today, the emperor sent people to search again.

Concubine Chun felt even more guilty, hating herself for not seeing the true colors of Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu earlier, and causing Yong Zhang to become like this!

Concubine Chun secretly swore in her heart that once she had recovered from this, she would settle the score with Concubine Xian who was behind Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu!
