Chapter 331 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Gao Xiyue 21
Even though he was restrained, Wang Qin was still shouting incoherently, "Lianxin, Lianxin, come here quickly, no, you said you were the Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine, no, you seem to be Consort Xian..."
Everyone present clearly heard these words and realized that this seemed to be a conspiracy against the Imperial Concubine. Unfortunately, Consort Xian was also in the Imperial Garden and became the target of this disaster.
Consort Zhe could no longer contain herself. She approached Wang Qin and pointed at him, demanding, "What do you mean by that? Lianxin said she is a Noble Consort?"
Consort Xian, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of unease and said, "Wang Qin is not in his right mind right now; he's just talking nonsense."
Consort Zhe looked furious. "Is Consort Xian speaking up for him? Speaking up for someone who tore open your clothes and assaulted you?"
Touched on a sore spot, Consort Xian rebuked sharply, "Consort Zhe, how dare you!"
"I'm being presumptuous? I am a fellow concubine, what right do you have to call me presumptuous!"
"Alright!" Gao Xiyue interrupted the two's argument and instructed the palace servants, "Take Wang Qin to the Imperial Prison. Moxin, go and report the truth to the Emperor and Empress, and ask them to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"yes."
Consort Xian suppressed her fear. She knew that Lianxin was bound to go to the Department of Strict Punishment, and she couldn't guarantee that Lianxin wouldn't expose herself under torture.
Moreover, there is the Empress. Lianxin's younger siblings were taken to work in the Fucha family by the Empress. The Empress had a long-standing grudge against her and had also considered adopting Consort Mei's child.
They might use his younger siblings to threaten Lianxin, and then Lianxin would definitely turn against them. It would be all over, completely over...
The results of Lianxin's interrogation came out the next day. Just as Consort Xian had guessed, the Empress used Lianxin's younger siblings as leverage to force her to implicate Consort Xian.
Lianxin even admitted that she was deceived by Wang Qin's appearance and took the initiative to ask the Empress for a marriage decree. After being abused after marriage, she did not want the Empress to worry.
After attempting suicide by drowning, she was rescued and comforted by Consort Xian. Grateful for this, she helped devise a plan for Wang Qin to humiliate Consort Chen.
But it was because she took the wrong path and mistook someone else in the dark that she became Consort Xian, and thus suffered all of this.
Everyone with eyes could see that Lianxin was unwilling to be betrothed, but no one said anything about it.
The Emperor was furious because of Consort Xian's scheme against Gao Xiyue, and naturally had no interest in whether Lianxin was willing to be betrothed to him or not.
Consort Xian was eventually stripped of her title and demoted to the rank of Noble Lady, and was confined to Jingren Palace.
In other words, the emperor had a lot of affection for her, and she was also a concubine, yet in the end, it was she who suffered all of this.
Otherwise, anyone else would have been placed in a cold palace, but after this ordeal, the affection between them has been greatly diminished.
Consort Xian was demoted to Noble Lady Nara and confined to Jingren Palace. Noble Lady Mei was the happiest, because Noble Lady Nara would no longer be able to raise her child.
Consort Mei's joy was short-lived as she went into premature labor, giving birth to a deformed baby that died shortly after birth.
The Emperor naturally didn't want outsiders to know that he had a deformed child, so he only told the outside world that it was stillborn and had Consort Mei stay in Yonghe Palace to recuperate.
This time, no comments were made specifying that Consort Mei's son was deformed, because only the Empress, the Emperor, and Gao Xiyue knew about it, and they kept the news under wraps.
Gao Xiyue went to Yonghe Palace only because the Emperor was in her palace that day and knew that Consort Mei was about to give birth, so she naturally couldn't not go.
Afterwards, during a visit to Changchun Palace, the Empress revealed the joyous news that Consort Yi was pregnant with the Emperor's child.
Noble Lady Yi was a bondservant of the Manchu Banner. When the Empress was still a Fujin (consort), she received instruction from the Fujin for a period of time.
