Mo Qiyuan's face was filled with anger:
"Enough! Yes, I have only ever been sincere to Yun'er, but that is my business. It is not her fault that I fell in love with her. Why do you hate her? If you want to hate someone, you should hate me!"
Concubine Jing smiled bitterly, "Oh, I want to too, but I can't make you hate the emperor! I can only get rid of Ye Jinyun and prevent her from getting the emperor's love. Then I will feel more balanced."
Mo Qiyuan's eyes were sharp. "So, you colluded with the Xu family and Madam Yang. You took advantage of Yun'er's absence from the palace to officiate at the Lu family's wedding and attacked her, hoping that the cat would cause her miscarriage. Then you arranged for Madam Yang to tamper with the delivery bed, hoping that people would think she died in childbirth!"
"Yes, she was pregnant with twins, and a difficult birth was already very likely. If she were hit by a cat, wouldn't that make it even easier to conceal her identity? Besides, I only want her to die. As for her child, I plan to keep it if I can. As long as she dies and I am still in this palace, I can stay by the emperor's side and raise her child."
Concubine Jing narrated calmly, and when she talked about being able to stay with Mo Qiyuan and raise a child, she even smiled with an obsession, as if she was seeing such a beautiful day coming.
When Mo Qiyuan heard her say this, he was even more furious. He had heard her admit with his own mouth that she had harmed Ye Jinyun, and he never wanted to see this disgusting woman again.
"Come here, Concubine Jing is imprisoned immediately for plotting to murder the Empress and the heir to the throne! Along with the entire Xu family, they will be executed in three days!"
When Mo Qiyuan sent someone to take her into custody, Concubine Jing knew what her fate would be. However, she did not expect Mo Qiyuan to be so cruel that he would not even spare the entire Xu family. She immediately roared like crazy:
"No! Your Majesty! This is all my fault. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare the Xu family! They are innocent!"
Mo Qiyuan sneered:
"Innocent? Xu Muran, when you asked the Xu family to help you plan outside the palace, why didn't you consider that they were all innocent? Moreover, don't think I didn't know that the rumor about your Xu family's involvement was also there. It's just that the source of the rumor is difficult to hold accountable, so I let those people who are the same as your Xu family go. Since the Xu family dares to help you kill Yun'er without fear of death, then I will let them know the wrath of a king! Come! Drag her away!"
Concubine Jing was being dragged away but she still begged Mo Qiyuan for mercy, but Mo Qiyuan didn't even want to look at her.
After dealing with Concubine Jing and the Xu family, only Yang is left. However, he wants Ye Jinyun to handle this matter. After all, she is her eldest brother's biological mother. If she is executed directly, it may ruin the relationship between the two siblings.
Mo Qiyuan knew that Ye Jinyun cared deeply about her elder brother, and the amulet she used for blessing that year only had her elder brother's name written on it.
After leaving the imperial study, I arrived at Fengyi Palace.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, the palace servants in the yard immediately bowed and greeted him. Mo Qiyuan waved his hand to let them skip the formalities, and then stepped into Ye Jinyun's bedroom.
Ye Jinyun was resting on the bed in the hall. The two newborn babies were placed beside her and were held in one hand by her, while their eldest son was holding her other hand and sleeping soundly.
Seeing that Ye Jinyun's sleeping position was a little stiff because of these three little guys, he walked forward, gently picked up his eldest son from her arms, and let him sleep in his arms.
As if sensing that there was a child missing from his side, Ye Jinyun moved his hands and woke up.
"Husband, when did you come here?"
Mo Qiyuan sat down at the head of her bed and stroked her hair. "Just now, when I came over, I saw that Lin'er seemed to be putting some pressure on you, so I brought him over."
Ye Jinyun looked at the children and smiled. When she was about to rest, her eldest son saw that his younger siblings could sleep next to him, so he insisted on sleeping with them. She was afraid that the little guy would think that his mother did not love him, so she did not refuse. However, she had to take care of the two younger ones as well as the older one, which really made her very tired when she slept.
Mo Qiyuan also noticed that she hadn't slept well, and said with some concern: "Yun'er, why don't you leave the children to the wet nurse? Otherwise, how will you take care of three children?"
Ye Jinyun nodded. The children were too young to be taken care of.
"Concubine Jing...did she confess her guilt?"
Mo Qiyuan's face was a little heavy when he heard this. "She admitted that she did it. I'm sorry, Yun'er. It was your husband who almost got you hurt."
"It's none of my husband's business. A woman's jealousy is unreasonable. Some people will see you as a thorn in their side even if you just stand there and do nothing. This is not something others can control. But I want to know how Yang became connected to Concubine Jing. If I hadn't recognized her hateful eyes today, I'm afraid she would have hurt our child."
Ye Jinyun was still frightened when she recalled the situation at that time. Although she had the system, if she had not recognized that it was Yang and let her press her belly, she couldn't say whether it would directly harm her child.
After all, they are about to give birth, and once they are out of the womb, they are no longer protected by the system.
Fortunately, she was very familiar with the way Yang looked at her when she was in Ye Mansion, so even though she changed her appearance, she still recognized her at a glance.
No wonder she felt that one of the midwives who came in looked familiar. It turned out to be her.
"Yun'er, do you still remember that I asked you and your elder brother to leave the Ye family, and then Ye Zhongqiu divorced Yang?"
Ye Jinyun nodded. This incident happened not long ago, and the secret guard came to her and described it vividly.
"So, Yang Shi was the one who connected with Concubine Jing and the Xu family after being driven out of the Ye family by Ye Zhongqiu?"
"That's true. According to what Lu Zhengyan interrogated Yang, after she was driven out of the Ye family by Ye Zhongqiu, she originally returned to her mother's home. However, her father and brother believed that she was not only worthless now, but also had offended you. They were afraid that she would be in trouble with the royal family, so they took the money she brought from the Ye family and drove her out of the Yang family as well.
At this time, Yu Wan'er sent out the invitation to marry Lu Zhan. When the Xu family and Concubine Jing found out, they guessed that you would definitely be there, so they brought Yang back and told her that she wanted revenge on you, and they planned this together.
The Xu family asked her to disguise herself as a midwife and sent her to Madam Xu's parents' home, saying that she was there to help their nephew's wife give birth. Then the Xu family calculated the date, sent away all the midwives in the city, and designed to let the cat hit you and Yu Wan'er, determined to make you have a miscarriage, a difficult delivery, or to do something to you during delivery.
I just didn't expect Yun'er to recognize Yang with just her eyes. Otherwise, they might have succeeded. And if they caught the midwives and found out it was Yang who did it, they could have pinned the blame on her. And the cat didn't just pounce on you. Once they got rid of the girl who raised the cat, no one would have known it was Concubine Jing and the Xu family who were behind this.
