Chapter 65 Lin Fenyi's Return
Concubine Zhengui stood up slowly, walked to Li Dexian, and paused for a moment, "I understand."
Then he walked to the desk and said to Wen Wanyu, "In that case, let's do as Concubine Ling said and go back to Changlixuan and copy it slowly."
She deliberately spoke the three words "slowly copy" very slowly.
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, as if provoking, as if showing off.
Wen Wanyu glanced at Li Dexian, who looked embarrassed, as if he was about to say something but hesitated.
"Yes, Your Majesty," she replied.
Concubine Zhengui turned around and said, "Go back."
Li Dexian followed her and asked, "Miss Ling, did the Imperial Concubine do anything to you?"
Wen Wanyu smiled slightly, "It's okay. The Imperial Concubine just asked me to copy a scripture."
Li Dexian breathed a sigh of relief.
Another turn and they were at Changlixuan. Li Dexian was still following her. Wen Wanyu asked him, "Eunuch Li, don't you need to go back to Chengqian Palace to serve the Emperor?"
Li Dexian's face was full of smiles. "The emperor specifically instructed me to escort you back to Changlixuan."
Wen Wanyu smiled and nodded.
In some respects, the emperor was still very considerate. He wanted to "rescue" her from Concubine Zhengui's Fuyao Palace and send her safely to Changlixuan.
"Oh, right." Wen Wanyu stopped at the entrance of Chang Lixuan and asked, "Eunuch Li, how did the emperor know I was in Fuyao Palace?"
Concubine Zhengui must have concealed the news.
Li Dexian lowered his voice, "The eldest princess's nurse came to Chengqian Palace and told the emperor that you were invited to Fuyao Palace."
Wen Wanyu was a little surprised.
Li Dexian nodded in response to her surprised look.
It turned out to be Yu'er. She originally thought that after all, Concubine Zhengui was Yu'er's biological mother, and Yu'er would not let Concubine Zhengui be at a disadvantage.
Besides, Yu'er should know that telling the emperor about this matter would most likely increase the conflict between Concubine Zhengui and the emperor.
Wen Wanyu sighed and said, "You should go back and serve the emperor. Thank you, Eunuch Li, for today."
"My lady, you are too polite. This is what I should do." Eunuch Li said with a smile.
——
As soon as Wen Wanyu returned to the bedroom, the eldest princess came running over in a hurry.
The eldest princess pouted and asked, "Are you okay?"
His eyes revealed a child's sincere emotions - worry and self-blame.
Wen Wanyu touched her head, bent down, and looked her in the eye: "I'm fine. Yu'er, don't worry."
"Sister Ling."
"Um?"
The eldest princess lowered her eyelashes and sniffed, "It's all my fault. Mother, that's why I'm causing trouble for you."
The six-year-old child, almost seven years old, looks young but actually understands everything.
Wen Wanyu placed his right hand on her shoulder, his expression serious: "Yu'er, you don't need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. If you always take the blame on yourself, how uncomfortable you will be."
Touching the eldest princess's cheek, he said, "Remember these few words of mine. I won't blame you, and I won't think this is your fault."
The eldest princess nodded woodenly.
——
After the meeting with the ministers, Xie Junyao took a sip of tea and asked, "The imperial concubine didn't do anything to her, right?"
Li Dexian said, "The Imperial Concubine only asked Concubine Ling to copy a few scriptures."
Just? How many?
Hearing these two words, Xie Junyao couldn't help but sneer. He knew the imperial concubine too well. The imperial concubine was a strong-willed person.
She would feel somewhat uncomfortable with Yu'er moving to Fuyao Palace. If she were to say who in the entire harem was the most unwilling to give up, it would be her.
If Yu'er's wet nurse hadn't informed her in time, copying a few scriptures wouldn't have been so easy.
After learning that Concubine Zhengui did not let Wen Wanyu off easily, he asked Wen Wanyu to return to Changlixuan and continue copying scriptures.
He threw down the teacup and said, "Why are you copying? Tell her that she doesn't need to copy."
What made Xie Junyao angry was actually Concubine Zhengui's inappropriate embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Protector has become restless again these days."
Hearing this, Xie Junyao's brows relaxed: "So fast."
The Grand Protector was a rather amusing man. Whenever the Grand Protector made a move, he would go and give him a warning, and he would always settle down immediately. But within six months, he would start to stir up trouble again.
"Since that is the case, I hereby declare that Lin Fenyi, who suffered an undeserved disaster, will be restored to her position, and Yang Deyi, who has misbehaved, will be demoted to the rank of Consort."
——
De Fei stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say?"
"Lin Fenyi is reinstated. Yang Deyi is demoted?"
"Yes, my lady."
De Fei slowly sat down, holding the corner of the table. When Fang Wenyi passed away, the emperor had said he would continue the investigation. It turned out that it was not a lie, the emperor really had someone investigating behind the scenes.
Since Yang Deyi was demoted to a concubine.
That meant that the Emperor already knew the truth, and that meant she had already been exposed...
Does the emperor know about her?
Concubine De was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. She had to admit that the Emperor's move was too good. He made her lose her composure and refused to give her a result.
This time, both she and Yang Cainu were negligent.
Lin Fenyi's restoration was celebrated with great fanfare, but the timing was inappropriate, as Concubine Wan was still under house arrest.
Yang Cainu seemed to have suffered a shock and locked herself in the palace for a whole day.
——
A reminder here: Yang Cainu and Concubine Wan were both daughters of the Grand Protector.
