Zhu Yulan was speechless and tears of regret flowed down her face.

Upon seeing this, the personal maid knelt down hurriedly and confessed the whole story of how Zhu Yulan failed to frame Zhu Xianyue and instead thought the poison was ineffective and suffered the consequences.

Zhu Yulan never had a chance to turn things around again.

In response, she could only kneel and say, "This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with the Wuding Marquisate. I hope the Emperor will forgive the Wuding Marquisate for the sake of my father and... Noble Lady Heyue."

As a noble lady from an aristocratic family, Zhu Yulan was taught from a young age that no matter how powerful a woman is, she is just a pawn.

Your greatest role is to marry a powerful man and help the man in your family who is struggling in the officialdom.

Even hateful people have their pitiful side.

Zhu Xianyue said nothing about this.

Because she knew that without the imperial concubine, and if she, the eldest legitimate daughter, did not protect the Wuding Marquis Mansion, and if Zhu Qingxu and his legitimate son Zhu Yuanzheng were both incompetent, the Wuding Marquis Mansion would fall into decline sooner or later.

These grasshoppers can be roasted slowly over low heat.

final.

Zhu Yulan was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Fengluan Palace for life.

Her palace maids were also sent to the torture chamber to perform hard labor.

Every five days someone would come and beat her with a stick, but they wouldn't beat her to death.

Just torture her slowly.

After everyone dispersed, the things in Fengluan Palace were also taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhu Yulan fell to the ground and suddenly understood something.

Zhu Xianyue could have chosen not to save herself because she hated her.

But now he rescued her and made her look like this, he did it on purpose, to make her look bad.

The bitch is vicious!

But she didn't dare commit suicide.

If a concubine commits suicide, it will bring disaster to her family.

In the end, I could only cover my face and cry, enduring the sorrow.

…

Jiang Heyu asked Zhu Xianyue to move to Yuxiu Palace.

Zhu Yulan's farce prevented Zhu Xianyue from sleeping with him that day.

What you can't get will always cause you unrest.

When Jiang Heyu went to court the next day, he kept thinking about Zhu Xianyue.

He is not the kind of person who is blinded by lust, but this time he really couldn't help himself.

I finally made it to night.

Zhu Xianyue was carried to the Yangxin Palace by eunuchs on a soft silk quilt.

Jiang Heyu touched her tender face with his hand, and his fingertips were slightly warm.

"Mammy has given you the rules of the bedroom, right?"

"...Yeah." Zhu Xianyue nodded shyly.

"But before I serve you in bed, I have something to say."

Zhu Xianyue held Jiang Heyu's hand, her deer eyes sparkling.

Jiang Heyu: "What's the matter?"

"I have a body that is immune to all poisons, so I had no reaction after eating the candied water chestnuts mixed with poison."

Jiang Heyu's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Zhu Xianyue to rely on him so much, even telling him her most important secret.

"I...I did it on purpose for Zhu Yulan to see. She, my mother, and my father were all mean to me, so I framed her. She didn't push me in Fengluan Palace. I fell on my own."

"My concubine's mother..."

Zhu Xianyue directly told Liu Pianran and Zhu Qingxu everything they had done to her mother Liu Qiuyi.

"It's a pity that I have no evidence and cannot bring them to justice."

Jiang Heyu listened quietly.

Then he asked, "Yue'er, aren't you afraid that I will blame you for telling me this?"

However, if Zhu Xianyue didn't tell him, he would find out the truth sooner or later.

Zhu Xianyue, you are very brave to dare to do something under his nose.

Hearing this, Zhu Xianyue softly sighed, "Ah!" and said shyly, "I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that Your Majesty is my husband, and I should be honest with him."
