The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 233 Lifelong Confinement
The powder was the same brown color as the packet that Concubine Duan brought, and it had the same smell.

Wen Xianqing said.

"Your Majesty is wise. It is the same medicine."

Yunli was still denying it and trying to turn the tables, but when he saw this scene, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Yinzhen waited until Wen Xianqing had carefully collected the powder before he patiently asked Yunli.

"I just want to ask you, who gave you this powder?

Who asked you to use it to poison Concubine Hua and her son?"

Empress Dowager De said.

"Your Majesty, I think this is just a child's joke, how can it be called poisonous?"

Yinzhen said lightly.

"My mother always protects Yunli, but she protects him to the point of being lawless.

Yunyu is already fifteen years old. If it weren't for my mother always saying that he is still young,
At this age, it's time to choose a wife and concubine for him.

When I was fifteen, I remember my mother said that fifteen is the age at which one becomes a man. "

Empress Dowager De said.

"From what the emperor said, he has always been holding a grudge against me.

I am your mother, does the emperor also hold a grudge against me?"

Yinzhen felt desolate. Empress Dowager De had never been close to him since he was a child, and he didn't expect to get much maternal love when he grew up.

But now Yinzhen discovered that his biological mother was a woman who could not distinguish right from wrong and doted on his children excessively.

Yinzhen said.

"My dear mother, your words are too serious. I dare not bear a grudge against you.

My body and hair are given by my parents, and as a son, I am grateful to my mother.

But the Son is a son of man, a husband of man, and a father of man.

The son of my son suffered such a great sin at birth.
The son was really resentful.

Please go back to Yonghe Palace first, my son wants to have a good chat with Yunzhen.

Come, send the Queen Mother back to Yonghe Palace!"

Without further ado, the servants helped Empress Dowager De into the sedan chair and returned to Yonghe Palace.

Although Empress Dowager De kept saying that she wanted to stay here, she forgot that this world belonged to her son and even more so to the Emperor.

Ulanara wanted to persuade Yinzhen to calm down, but when she met Yinzhen's eyes, she didn't dare to say anything.

Yinzhen stared at Yunli who was still kneeling in front of him.

"You don't have to admit it today, and I don't care how you put the poison into the hot water that Concubine Hua will use for childbirth.

I just want to tell you that I have tolerated you for a long time. If it weren't for my mother who kept stopping me, you would have been in the clan residence by now."

Yunzhi rubbed his hands vigorously to relieve the itch, but the more he rubbed, the more itchy it became, and some places had already broken skin from scratching so hard.

He looked at Yinzhen's expression, and then saw that his mother was speechless. Only then did he realize that, unlike when the emperor was around, his brother would not spoil him.

"Brother, please forgive me! I didn't expect this medicine to be so effective. I know I was wrong!

I can apologize to Concubine Hua. I can apologize!

Please forgive me, brother!"

Yinzhen no longer had any patience, all his patience was exhausted, he sneered.

“It is too late to forgive sins when they are already guilty.

You are so naughty that I cannot teach you on behalf of the Emperor.

You poisoned the concubines and killed the heirs of the throne, but I remember that you and I share the same mother.
I will not take your life, after all, you are my brother.

It’s just that you made a mistake, and you have to take the consequences yourself.”

Yunzhi wanted to beg for mercy, but he heard Yinzhen say.

"Su Peisheng! Pass the decree down that Aixinjuelu Yunzhen poisoned the concubines and killed the royal heirs. He had no respect for his elders and committed treason. He was extremely rebellious and rebellious.

But I think he is my brother, and I cannot bear to impose the death penalty on him. I deprive him of his noble title and demote him to a commoner. There is a private house in the west of the city, where he will be imprisoned. He is not allowed to leave without the emperor’s order for the rest of his life, and no one is allowed to visit him. "

Yunli looked at Yinzhen in shock. He couldn't believe that his brother could make such a decision. He just acted on impulse and wanted to teach Concubine Hua a lesson.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will never dare to do that again! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Yunli was extremely frightened and started crying, and Yinzhen was also extremely tired.

"From now on, I don't have a brother like you.

Su Peisheng, hurry up and go!"

After Empress Dowager De was sent back to Yonghe Palace, she could not rest at all. She sent people to inquire about the news, but all those who went were sent back by Su Peisheng and no news was found.

It was not until the next morning that news came that the Fourteenth Master had been stripped of his title and imprisoned, never to be seen again for the rest of his life.

Empress Dowager De had not slept all night and was already very weak. When she heard this, she fainted.

Yinzhen also did not sleep well the night before. When he attended the morning court, he heard that Empress Dowager De had fainted.

He only instructed Su Peisheng to find the imperial physician to take a good look at the matter. If any precious medicinal materials were needed, they could be found in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

He knew that if he went to Yonghe Palace now, it would not achieve any effect. Instead, Empress Dowager De might pester him to take back his decision.

Yinzhen is the emperor, and no one should interfere with his decisions.

It was said that Empress Dowager De woke up and asked to see the Emperor, but she was only told that the Emperor was busy with government affairs and would come to see her when he was done.

Nian Shilan had experienced childbirth and poisoning the day before and was extremely tired.

Wen Xianqing stayed up all night by the Fourth Prince's side, looking after him all the time. He also ordered people to bring clean hot water and wash the Fourth Prince's body.

The little baby finally got through the ordeal safely, and all the red marks on his body disappeared.

When Nian Shilan heard Yinzhen's decree, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Songzhi served Nian Shilan breakfast and said.

“Yesterday was truly thrilling, both the Majesty and the young master were itching all over, and this servant was extremely frightened.

Fortunately, the Emperor is on your side and has severely punished the Fourteenth Master.

I heard that the Empress Dowager in Yonghe Palace has been crying today.

But she was weak and fainted after crying for a while.

The emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to go and see.

I'm sure the Emperor is also worried about this."

Nian Shilan smiled and said.

"Your Majesty doesn't worry about me. If he really does, then no matter how busy he is with government affairs, it's not as important as his mother's illness.

In my opinion, the Emperor didn’t punish Fourteenth for me, but probably for himself.”

In her previous life, Shilan knew that Yinzhen was very dissatisfied with the fact that Empress Dowager De doted on Fourteenth Prince. In addition, the relationship between him and Empress Dowager De was shallow, and Fourteenth Prince had repeatedly provoked Yinzhen before he ascended the throne. This led to Yinzhen imprisoning Fourteenth Prince as soon as he ascended the throne.

In this life, Yinzhen's resentment towards Empress Dowager De was no less than in his previous life, and the relationship between mother and son seemed even thinner in this life.

In the previous life, Empress Dowager De tried her best to help Yinzhen ascend the throne. In this life, Yinzhen ascended the throne ahead of schedule entirely on his own.

Instead of controlling her temper, Empress Dowager De questioned Yinzhen again and again. It seemed that Yinzhen had had enough.

As for Empress Dowager De's illness, Yinzhen may not be unaware that there was something fishy going on, but Yinzhen has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude, which shows that the relationship between mother and son is even weaker than Nian Shilan expected.

Yinzhen had been tolerant of Yunti many times. This time, Yunti just went too far and ruined his life.

Nian Shilan was just about to sleep a little longer when Xiao Linzi came in.

"Master, something new has happened."

Nian Shilanqi said.

"what happened again?"

Xiao Linzi replied.

"My Lord, you know that Concubine Duan and the Empress Dowager of Yonghe Palace have never had any private contact.

At this moment, Concubine Duan was asked to leave by the Queen Mother. "
