Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1218 Demoted to Concubine Wei

Emperor Yuan Zhen held the hydrographic map in hand and rushed to Qingning Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

He walked very fast, almost in long strides.

The prince followed closely behind him with Fu Chen in his arms, and kept urging: "Your Majesty, please slow down."

at the same time.

Concubine Wei had already knelt in front of the Queen Mother, bursting into tears: "Your Majesty, I am obsessed with ghosts. Please punish me."

The Queen Mother looked indifferent and asked quietly: "Oh? Concubine Wei, do you also make mistakes? Where are your mistakes?"

She has no prejudice against Concubine Wei.

In other words, she always treats things differently than people.

When she lived to her age, she knew all the tricks in the palace.

Although the queen has always acted like a well-educated, sensible and caring mother, she can still see through the queen's disguise.

She could see the queen clearly, not to mention Concubine Wei, a beloved concubine who was both impressive in appearance and conduct.

So she didn't have much favorable impression of Concubine Wei.

We don't get close to each other on weekdays, nor do we deliberately target each other.

Now that Concubine Wei was kneeling in front of her and taking the initiative to admit her mistake, she certainly knew Concubine Wei's innermost thoughts, so she couldn't help but speak in a weird way.

Concubine Wei is naturally not an ordinary character. Facing the twists and turns in the palace, she is at ease with her.

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, she pretended not to understand and continued to confess her crimes guiltily and sincerely:

"My concubine was jealous and framed Li Meiren, which made His Majesty Long Yan furious and sent Li Meiren to the cold palace. She almost lost her life. Please punish the queen mother."

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked at the elegant Concubine Wei in front of her.

She examined it slowly, inch by inch.

Finally, she got straight to the point: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you use your tricks in front of the Aijia, the Aijia will be very upset."

Hearing this, Concubine Wei knelt down deeply and said, "Queen Mother, help me."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Whose life will you save? The Ai family has seen how the emperor has treated you over the years. To say that the emperor will punish you because of Li Meiren is not a big deal."

Concubine Wei quickly shook her head: "It's not to save my concubine's life, but to save Yao'er's life."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and asked: "Why do you say this?"

Concubine Wei carefully explained:

"In all these years that I have been in the palace, I have never suffered any hidden losses. His Majesty's favor is on the one hand, and my concubine's scheming is on the other."

"I am not a good person. In order to survive in the palace, I have never used any means. Fighting for favor, fighting for power, I have participated in everything."

"If you always walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet. If one day I make a bad move and take the bitter pill of my own making, I will have nothing to say."

"But what happened this time is because of Yao'er. I feel pity for him, and I beg the queen mother for your understanding."

The Queen Mother sighed: "After decades in the palace, this is the first time you have said such words to the Ai family. The Ai family is really not used to it. Tell me, what trouble did Xiaojiu encounter?"

Concubine Wei said eloquently: "Queen Mother, your eyes are so bright that you must have seen Yao'er's changes."

"After he came back from northern Xinjiang, he was different. He no longer behaved as he did before. He became motivated and responsible."

"This time when there was a flood in Jiangbei, he not only used his marriage as an excuse to raise a lot of silver, but he also took out his private house and took it with him to Jiangbei."

"His progress is a good thing for the people, but not everyone in the world wants him to make progress."

Speaking of this, Concubine Wei became trembling:

"Just a few days ago, I accidentally discovered Li Meiren's background. After I saw Li Meiren enter the palace, I took away the favor that should have belonged to me."

"I was jealous of Li Meiren and regarded her as a thorn in my flesh. I wanted to get rid of her quickly, so I got hot-headed and handed over the evidence." "But when Li Meiren almost died because of this, he was brought back to stay in the immortal world by your majesty. When I was in the palace, my first thought was that Your Majesty would probably punish me for Li Meiren."

"And the second thought came next - the information involved two people. It seemed that it was only aimed at Li Meiren, but it also involved Grand Master Qin."

"When I think about Yao'er's relief work in the north of the Yangtze River, I am very frightened. Your Majesty may be suspicious that I am paving the way for Yao'er."

Speaking of this, Concubine Wei burst into tears:

"Queen Mother, Yao'er is a prince, and he is favored by your majesty. If I say that I have never had any evil intentions, I'm afraid I won't believe it myself."

"But I know that now that the reserve position has been determined, there should be no complications. Therefore, I have always allowed Yao'er to do whatever he wants, in order to express my position."

"But when the son grows up, he has no control over his mother. Yao'er and his people in Northern Xinjiang have been reborn, and his changes are beyond my control."

"Now that Yao'er is on good terms with General Zhenbei, I can't help but be frightened and panicked, lest he get into trouble."

What Concubine Wei said was very emotional.

The tears really fell.

However, the Queen Mother did not even move her eyebrows after hearing so much.

He just asked: "How did you get that handle?"

Concubine Wei said frankly: "From the beginning of the palace banquet that day, I noticed Li Meiren. A woman's intuition told me that Li Meiren would become my rival."

"So my concubine has been looking around for Li Meiren, but she has found nothing. Until a few days ago, people who investigated the Qin Mansion said that Li Meiren had lost her virginity when she was in the Qin Mansion."

"And some people often saw Grand Master Qin entering and leaving Li Meiren's room, so I... fabricated the fact that Li Meiren and Grand Master Qin were having an affair out of thin air, in order to frame Li Meiren."

"But what a coincidence, after checking for so long without finding any useful information, I actually found out about this matter a few days ago..."

The Queen Mother is a wise woman.

Concubine Wei's words went round and round in her heart, and she knew something was fishy.

So, she spoke out her decision: "The beloved concubine is jealous and uses cruel and sinister methods to frame other concubines and court officials. I will take back the imperial concubine's treasure book and demote her to Concubine Wei to serve as a warning to others!"

When Concubine Wei heard this, instead of being angry or sad, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."

If the Queen Mother punishes someone, then the Emperor cannot punish her again, otherwise it would be disobeying the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's move was more than just punishing Concubine Wei.

He also wanted to put an end to this matter so that it would not cause greater trouble and thus involve the Ninth Prince and the power struggle between the princes.

It can't be said that there is no good intention.

Finally, the Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes: "Go down, shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. Don't come out until everything is calm."

Concubine Wei.

She should be called Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei kowtowed three times seriously, then quietly stepped back.

The Queen Mother fell into deep helplessness: "Yes, my son has grown up and I can't help him. Things are really going to change."

Eunuch Mei and Eunuch Han bowed, but did not dare to answer.

Just as Concubine Wei left, Emperor Yuan Zhen walked in with a gloomy look, and then threw the hydrograph on the coffee table.

He said with a solemn expression: "Queen Mother, something happened!"
