"My lord, I obey the order."
"Also, the old lady of the Qiu family is granted the title of Second Rank Lady, a crown of imperial decree, and court robes. Qiu Yinong's mother is granted the title of Fifth Rank Concubine, a crown of imperial decree, and court robes."
"Uncle Emperor, I have another mother. If you are granting me a title, could you also grant it to my other mother?"
Qiu Yinong looked at Emperor Yongsheng expectantly.
"What a greedy girl! Because you saved the Empress Dowager, you were made a county lady and your grandmother and mother were given imperial titles, yet you are still greedy."
Emperor Yongsheng glared at Concubine Xian in displeasure, then looked at Qiu Yinong and asked gently, "Yier, can you tell your uncle why you have two mothers?"
Qiu Yinong then told Emperor Yongsheng that she and her sister were taken away by mistake, and Emperor Yongsheng looked at her with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
"She is a good girl who knows how to repay kindness, sister, you have found a treasure." Emperor Yongsheng looked at Emperor Showa.
Emperor Zhaohe also smiled and bowed: "My Royal Brother is absolutely right. My Royal Sister has indeed found a treasure."
"Okay, I will grant your other mother the same imperial title as your mother." Emperor Yongsheng laughed.
Qiu Yinong solemnly thanked the emperor for his grace, stood up, and looked at the little palace maid.
"Uncle Emperor, that little palace maid was the one who poisoned me."
Emperor Yongsheng looked at the palace maid. When the little palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed to her knees on the ground.
"How dare you!" Emperor Yongsheng's face was full of anger, and the empress dowager looked at her with pain.
"Aqiao, I have treated you well, haven't I?"
"Back then, you were nearly beaten to death by the chief steward, but the Empress Dowager saw this and couldn't bear it. She not only pardoned your crime, but also brought you to Ci'an Palace to serve."
"Is this how you repay the Empress Dowager?" Nanny An scolded.
Aqiao was so frightened that her body was shaking, and her heart was filled with sorrow. The lives of her family members were in the hands of Concubine Xian.
If she dared to tell the truth, not only would she die miserably, but her family would also be in danger. Concubine Xian gave birth to two princes and two princesses.
She may not be in trouble.
She had always felt guilty for poisoning the Queen Mother, but there was nothing she could do because her family's lives were in the hands of Concubine Xian.
She had to.
Now that the truth has been revealed, I feel relieved.
"Empress Dowager, I feel so guilty towards you. I hate you so much. The day has come for me to leave the palace, but you have refused to let me go. My fiancé has abandoned me and married someone else..."
The Queen Mother was clearly confused. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a fiancé? I just thought you were smart and obedient, so I wanted to act as a matchmaker and give you to Guard Chen as his wife."
"I never thought that good intentions would lead to bad results. Alas..." The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the little maid was in disbelief.
The Queen Mother treated her like this, she is simply not a human being.
The little palace maid cried bitterly, pulled out her hairpin, and stabbed the virtuous concubine.
The virtuous concubine's eyes turned cold, and she quickly pulled out the hairpin of the palace maid beside her and stabbed it into the little palace maid's neck.
Everything happened so fast that Qiu Yinong didn't react and was still eating melons.
Just as Concubine Xian was about to pull out the hairpin, Qiu Yinong took a few steps forward and grabbed Concubine Xian's hand.
Qiu Yinong shook off the hand of Concubine Xian, who was full of disbelief, and injected a trace of life force into the little palace maid, who then gained the life force.
After she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt warmth on the wound.
"Thank you so much, County Lady. Yes, it was the Concubine Xian who asked me to poison the Empress Dowager. I fabricated all the stories I heard."
"Empress Dowager, I don't know why the Virtuous Consort hates you so much. My family's lives are in her hands, and we have no choice but to obey her."
"I am not worthy of being your servant. I am sorry to the Queen Mother. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse."
After saying this last sentence, the little palace maid closed her eyes forever.
The small system warned Qiu Yinong not to go against her fate, as this girl was supposed to die today.
That's why I didn't save her.
"Then I can't change Emperor Yongsheng's fate either?" Qiu Yinong asked curiously.
After the small system checked, it replied, "Emperor Yongsheng's original lifespan was eighty-nine, but he was later poisoned to death. This was an accident. The master asked the little palace maid to reveal the culprit today."
"So the fate has changed. You can give the medicine to strengthen the body and prolong life to Emperor Yongsheng. This is a wise emperor, and his merits are greater than his master's."
It hurts the little system.
"Thank you very much."
"Bang!" Emperor Yongsheng smashed the tea bowl angrily.
"Xianfei!"
Concubine Xian was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, this lowly maidservant bit me before she died. I did not do those things."
"Really?" Qiu Yinong stood up, her clothes stained with blood, and she looked at Concubine Xian with a cold expression.
"Uncle Emperor, can you please ask all the outsiders to leave first?" Qiu Yinong said to Emperor Yongsheng.
Emperor Yongsheng waved his hand, and all the imperial doctors, palace maids and nannies who were serving him left.
Only the Showa Queen, the Empress, the Noble Consort, and the Three Consorts of Hyeon-deok-sook were left present.
The virtuous concubine frowned for no reason. Her eyelids had been twitching these past few days, and she felt displeased whenever she saw this girl. It seemed that they were really incompatible.
"This is the Talisman of Good and Evil, given by my little master. My little master is an immortal. Does the Concubine Xian dare to accept this Talisman?"
"What immortal? I was wondering how someone so young could possess such abilities. Turns out she's actually a demon girl!"
The virtuous concubine's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Someone come!"
"Don't worry, I've sealed this space off. If you dare to tell anyone about what you saw today, your memory will instantly disappear."
