Chapter 103 The Fall of the Yang Family
"Are you okay?" Concubine Hui asked, holding Wen Wanyu's arm. If anything happened to her, none of them would survive.
Wen Wanyu shook her head: "How do you plan to deal with her, Madam?"
Concubine Hui pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Lin Fenyi was acting like she was mad and nearly hurt you. I will ask the Emperor to make a decision."
When Wen Wanyu passed by Lin Fenyi, she asked the eunuch to release her. Without support, Lin Fenyi collapsed to the ground in a daze. Concubine Hui and her men left first.
"I'm reminding you for the last time. Although I'm not injured, your intention to hurt others is enough to bring ruin to your Lin family." Wen Wanyu's words were indeed exaggerated. It's not that they will be doomed, but it is possible that they will never be able to make a comeback.
Lin Fenyi blinked, a mist of confusion appeared in her eyes, she moved her lips, but in the end, no words came out.
Wen Wanyu advised her, "You're working so hard for Concubine Wan. As an outsider, I shouldn't say anything... But you have to think carefully. How many lives can the Lin family give you?"
He shook his head and was about to leave.
Lin Fenyi finally got scared and grabbed the corner of her skirt, trembling, "I, I regret it. Please save me!"
Now only Ling Zhaoyuan can save her.
She couldn't let go of this opportunity. She didn't want to die, and the Lin family couldn't be ruined because of her...
Wen Wanyu raised the corners of her lips slightly. "You confessed your guilt. If you want to survive, whether it's the incident at Qianli Pond or this incident today, and if you don't want the Lin family to fall because of you, then confess everything, including the person who was behind you."
The person who was giving instructions behind the scenes was Concubine Wan.
Not knowing how much she had taken in, Wen Wanyu stopped looking at her and slowly walked down the stairs. The choice she made was entirely up to her.
Today, it was just a plan between her and the emperor.
Last night——
【remember】
Xie Junyao moved all the memorials to be reviewed to the side hall because he didn't want to be separated from Wen Wanyu for a moment. Even if he didn't want to see her, he felt particularly at ease as long as he knew she was by his side.
"Wanwan, come here."
Wen Wanyu ran down from the bed upon hearing this, "What's wrong?"
Xie Junyao pulled her into his arms and handed her the memorial in his hand. "Take a look and tell me what you think."
"Ah? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Let's not watch it..." Wen Wan's eyelashes drooped and she shook her head. She was really afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see, and what if she blurted it all out in a moment of hasty words.
Xie Junyao raised a faint smile on his lips, "It's okay, take a look." He opened the letter and placed it in her hand.
Xie Junyao picked up the teacup on the table, the mist of tea floated in the air, and there was tenderness and a smile on his brow.
Wen Wanyu had no choice but to look carefully and read every word. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she stared at Xie Junyao.
"Is this true?"
"Of course." Xie Junyao put down the teacup.
This encrypted memorial said that Concubine Wan's father, the Grand Protector General, was training his troops and preparing for a rebellion in a month. As long as the emperor gave the order, the plan would be implemented and the Grand Protector General would be captured immediately.
She guessed correctly that the person who sent this encrypted memorial was Concubine Zheng's brother.
The memorial said it would be a month later, and it would take half a month to send a secret letter from the border to the capital by express horse. This means that the Grand Protector is about to rebel and the General is about to take action.
Wen Wanyu couldn't help but be stunned. This was the emperor, suspicious and unfathomable by nature. Every step he took had his reasons and he would not make a single mistake.
Knowing that the Grand Protector was planning a rebellion, he played along, kept his troops in place, and lured him into the fire pit, then wiped out the roots and wiped them out completely. This was probably the reason why Concubine Wan was promoted to Noble Concubine.
Being attracted to the emperor is a big taboo!
"What do you think?"
Wen Wanyu lowered her eyes and said, "Wanwan is just a little girl and doesn't know what to say."
Xie Junyao leaned his head on her shoulder. "I have always known that the Grand Protectorate has evil intentions and is plotting rebellion. That's why I only punish and admonish Concubine Wan for her repeated mistakes. This is all for this day. I believe that in a few days, the Andong Protectorate will have a new leader."
"Yeah." Wen Wanyu responded softly, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
Xie Junyao's hand was around her waist, and he was softly leaning against her, with an indescribable look in his eyes. "I know what you are thinking. But time will prove everything... including what I have to say to you."
Wen Wanyu smiled and said, "Yeah."
"Wanwan, there's something I need your help with."
The Emperor had instructed her to deliberately provoke Lin Fenyi at today's gathering in the Plum Garden, forcing her to reveal everything and expose Concubine Wan. Even without her family's protection, Concubine Wan still had the Second Princess by her side. Only by dispelling Concubine Wan's hostility could she stop her tyranny.
——
In Yonghe Palace, Lin Fenyi knelt on the ground, facing the emperor with a dark and frightening face. She remembered what Wen Wanyu said, and according to the "template" given by Wen Wanyu, she took the initiative to confess her guilt and told everything.
Xie Junyao threw a teacup and said, "Please invite Concubine Wan to come."
"One by one, they are increasingly disregarding me."
Concubine Wan entered the palace, her eyes locked on Lin Fenyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and kicked her on the back: "You bitch!"
He couldn't even handle such a small matter, and yet he wanted to put all the blame on her.
Xie Junyao also didn't expect that while he was still here, Concubine Wan would still be so presumptuous and use vulgar and obscure words without any hesitation.
"Noble Concubine Wan." Xie Junyao called her coldly.
Concubine Wan came to her senses and knelt in front of Lin Fenyi. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lin Fenyi has framed me. This is all nonsense! How could I possibly have instigated her to kill Ling Zhaoyuan? Your Majesty, please understand."
"Yeah?"
"Empress Hui said that you and Ling Zhaoyuan had an argument in the Plum Garden today." Xie Junyao had a blank expression on his face, his eyes scrutinizing.
Lin Fenyi trembled and said, "I know that I deserve death, but I dare not say a word of nonsense. I did push Ling Zhaoyuan into the water, but it was Concubine Wan who instigated me to do all this!"
Concubine Wan turned around and glared at her angrily: "When did I instigate you to push Ling Zhaoyuan into the water? I only asked you to kill her to silence her."
Xie Junyao sneered: "Is Concubine Wan admitting it?"
Concubine Wan finally realized that the bitch Lin Fenyi had deliberately said these words to flatter her! She was so furious that she ignored the rules and rushed over to grab Lin Fenyi by the hair.
"How dare you plot against me!" he said viciously.
Concubine Hui stood up and said, "How disgraceful! Pull Concubine Wan away quickly."
"Noble Concubine Wan, this is Yonghe Palace, not your Jinxiu Palace. How is this different from a common woman?"
Concubine Wan's face flushed red as she glanced at the emperor cautiously.
She immediately changed into a different person, her voice filled with tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment... I had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
Concubine Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, today in the Plum Garden, I accidentally saw Concubine Wan and Ling Zhaoyuan arguing. Concubine Wan has been trying to get the Second Princess to dislike Ling Zhaoyuan. The Second Princess and the First Princess have completely different temperaments. I've heard that the Second Princess often steals the First Princess's things, and I'm worried that the Second Princess will become a playboy around Concubine Wan."
Imperial Concubine Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Jin Jieyu, what nonsense are you talking about? I have no right to have you dictate how I educate my children!"
Xie Junyao glanced at her indifferently and said, "Jin Jieyu is right. From now on, the Second Princess will move out of Jinxiu Palace and will be raised by Concubine An for the time being."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Concubine Wan was completely panicked and grabbed the corner of Xie Junyao's clothes: "No, don't let me leave Yue'er. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Xie Junyao ignored her, his eyes cold, "Lin Fenyi was demoted to a concubine and banished to the cold palace."
"You," Xie Junyao said to Concubine Wan, lowering his head, "go back to your Jinxiu Palace first."
"emperor-"
"emperor--"
