After Ye Ling left.
The Empress Dowager has arrived.
They sent over a lot of health supplements.
"These tonics are all good for your health. No one would dare to tamper with the tonics I sent, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Wow! Thank you, Grandmother! A mother-in-law as wonderful as you is truly rare! My mother is so blessed to have such a wonderful mother-in-law like you!
The Empress Dowager was very pleased with Ye Qianqian's praise of her.
As you get older, you become more easily swayed.
He likes to hear sweet words, especially when those words are spoken by his own granddaughter.
"If you need anything in the future, remember to tell me. Don't be shy. You are my daughter-in-law, and I should dote on you."
Wow! If every mother-in-law treated her daughter-in-law as wonderfully as an empress dowager, would there still be any conflicts between them? They'd probably be closer than mothers and daughters! I really hope I'll meet a mother-in-law like that someday! She'd send me all the best food and drinks! I'd definitely treat her as filially as I would my own mother!
The Empress Dowager actually felt somewhat guilty.
Because she wasn't as good as Qianqian described.
With so many women in the harem, she simply couldn't treat them all equally, and she was constantly dealing with jealousy, strife, and complaints.
When Consort Jin was favored by the Emperor, the Empress Dowager worried that she had used seductive tricks and never treated her well.
Later, when the Emperor began to favor other women, Consort Jin did not become jealous and dutifully performed her duties.
Only then did the Empress Dowager change her attitude towards her.
With a clever and mischievous little princess about to be born, her attitude towards Consort Jin naturally became even better.
"Your Majesty, last night, I advised His Majesty—"
"I know, it's alright. Your Majesty can go wherever you like. I will not interfere further."
Who wouldn't love such a clever and intelligent little princess who seems to have a telepathic connection with her elders?
The Empress Dowager couldn't be happier to be in the Chuxiu Palace every day, listening to the little princess boast all the time!
This warm atmosphere was quickly shattered by Consort Qi!
That evening.
The Empress suddenly summoned all the concubines in the harem to Jingren Palace.
However, it was not explicitly stated what the matter was.
Consort Jin was puzzled at first.
But she still went.
Ye Qianqian thought for a moment.
In her previous eight rebirths, she did not have any memories of the empress suddenly summoning all the concubines.
However, Ye Qianqian had gotten used to it.
After all, each of the previous eight rebirths had seen the gears of fate reverse direction, causing events in each new life to deviate from the trajectory of the previous one.
The ninth time, I suppose, is no different.
However, Ye Qianqian had a bad feeling that what the Empress was going to do tonight might be related to her mother.
No matter what, we must protect my mother.
Consort Jin had just entered the inner palace of Jingren Palace.
She then felt all the concubines' eyes were fixed on her.
Consort Jin's heart was beating very fast.
She knew that she had been the Emperor's favorite for the past few days, and this morning, the Empress Dowager had come to see her in person, said those intimate words, and given her those tonics.
Right now, she is favored and pampered, but she has also become the mortal enemy of the concubines!
Consort Jin sat down tremblingly.
Ye Qianqian sensed Consort Jin's nervousness.
When the mother experiences emotional fluctuations, it can also affect the fetus.
[Mother, don't worry, don't be afraid, Qianqian is with you!]
Consort Jin placed her hand on her stomach.
I took a deep breath and slowly relaxed.
The Empress saw that everyone had arrived.
This good show should begin.
"It was dinnertime, and I didn't want to bring this up, but since it concerns the royal bloodline, I have to be careful!"
After the Empress finished speaking...
He glanced at Consort Lin.
Consort Lin immediately stepped forward and knelt before the Empress.
"Your Majesty, I must accuse Consort Jin of adultery!"
Consort Jin was taken aback!
Adultery?!
When did she ever do anything shameful behind the Emperor's back?
Ye Qianqian took a deep breath after hearing this!
Sure enough, tonight, everyone who came had ill intentions! They were all after Mother!
[Mother, don't be afraid! This is all a frame-up! Mother, please calm down and don't get angry. If you upset the baby, Qianqian will feel terrible!]
Consort Jin's mind was already in turmoil.
After hearing Ye Qianqian's words of comfort, she tried her best to calm herself down for the sake of the little princess!
The Empress frowned.
"Since Consort Lin accuses Consort Jin of having an affair, then who is the person she had the affair with?"
"Guard Sun Hai."
"Why does Consort Lin say this?"
"Your Majesty, I know that before Consort Jin entered the palace, she had a very good personal relationship with Sun Hai. Sun Hai even gifted her a jade bracelet, a family heirloom! Even after Consort Jin entered the palace, Sun Hai did not give up his feelings for her. A portrait of Consort Jin was always hanging in Sun Hai's home outside the palace! I have already sent people to arrest Sun Hai and searched his room to find the portrait!"
"Guards! Bring Sun Hai here!"
Sun Hai was quickly brought up, bound hand and foot.
Consort Lin gave the portrait of Consort Jin to the Empress.
The Empress opened the portrait and looked at it.
"It really is a portrait of Consort Jin! Consort Jin, do you and Sun Hai have an affair?"
"I did not," Consort Jin replied truthfully.
"This matter cannot be resolved based solely on your account. Sun Hai, while you were in the palace, did you have an affair with Consort Jin?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not lie! Even after Consort Jin entered the palace, our childhood friendship never ended. We have met secretly in the palace more than once!"
