Chapter 165 It was...I did it!
Jin Weige is now far away in a remote palace, under house arrest every day.
Most of the palace servants who had tried to please her and work for her also stopped making any moves.
She was like half blind to news from the outside world.
She knew even less about the Queen's affairs.
When she learned that the emperor asked her to go to the Yangxin Palace, she was happy but also a little nervous.
She anxiously asked Xiyue to find her most beautiful clothes, "Is it okay to go to see the emperor like this? Have I lost some weight recently? Do I look better?"
Xiyue helped her put on powder, "My queen, you will always be the most beautiful in the harem."
After a long time, Jin Weige finally packed up and walked to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in small steps.
This place she used to visit often now looked so strange.
She stepped in nervously, and when she saw Zhang Chengyan, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in them.
It had been a long time since she last saw the emperor, the man she loved so much.
"Your Majesty..." Jin Weige stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Yeah." Zhang Chengyan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that she had obviously lost weight.
After all, we have been friends for many years. Even if we haven't met for a while, once we meet, we will still recall the past.
"Princess Jin, do you know this person?"
Jin Weige looked at the nanny kneeling on the ground and blinked, "Your Majesty, I don't know her."
"Your Majesty, how could you not recognize me? You were the one who sent me out of the palace! Yesterday, it was General Jin who found me and told me to beat the drum to complain and tell everyone what the queen had done!"
Jin Zhi?
Her brother?
Jin Weige's mind was blank at this moment and she had no idea what was going on.
Li Ma Ma knelt on the ground, crying, "My queen, please stop pretending that you don't know. I have told you everything! The queen planned the Koi Carp Embracing the Pearl to murder the heir to the throne, and also framed you. If you didn't know, why did you send me away and lock me up?"
Jin Weige was not stupid. After listening to what Nanny Li said, she roughly guessed what had happened.
The people in front of him beat drums to appeal for justice, accusing the queen of murdering the royal heir.
What the queen did was like a koi holding a pearl...
But... she had never seen this person, let alone sent her out of the palace!
"Don't talk nonsense here!"
"I didn't lie, Your Majesty. If you don't believe me, you can just ask General Jin to come to the palace. It was he who sent me here! I have been imprisoned in the Jin family's house. This is true!"
Seeing her like this, it seems like she really isn't lying.
Jin Weige's brain worked quickly and he soon thought of something.
Just the day before, Concubine Zhao's father Xun Mingzhi did something wrong, which resulted in the eldest prince being sent to the Queen's lap.
Immediately afterwards, someone beat the drum today to appeal for justice and sue the queen. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
So... her brother Jin Zhi is helping Concubine Zhao?
When she realized this, she almost vomited blood!
Jin Zhi was her elder brother. Since he had known for a long time that the Queen was framing him, why didn't he jump out at that time? Instead, he watched himself being demoted to a concubine and even moved to the farthest palace, unable to even see the Emperor!
Now that Concubine Zhao is in trouble, he can't wait to take action.
Could it be that in his heart, I am not as good as Concubine Zhao?
Jin Weige couldn't help but clench his hands, his nails piercing into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.
The pain in the heart is the most painful!
Zhang Chengyan frowned slightly, "Princess Jin, did you do this?"
Jin Weige opened his mouth, with an impulse to speak out his guess.
In this way, Concubine Zhao will definitely be suspected by the emperor!
But...she can't say it!
Because Jin Zhi is her brother!
My biological elder brother!
Even if the other party is helping Concubine Zhao now, and even treats her better than she does herself, she can't say it!
Jin Weige knelt on the ground weakly, "Your Majesty, it was...it was I who did it!"
"Then why didn't you tell me before? Since you were framed by the Queen, I won't punish you as long as there is evidence."
When Jin Weige heard this, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
I have been suffering for so long, and Jin Zhi just watched it!
It had only been one day since Concubine Zhao's child was sent away, and he couldn't wait to take action!
Then what has happened to me after all the suffering I have endured for several months?
The palace was old and shabby, and she had to eat cold food. The bird's nest and supplements she usually had were gone, making her look several years older than before.
Each of these things caused her more pain than lingchi (a form of torture)!
"I was asking you a question, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Your Majesty..." Jin Weige's lips trembled, "Your Majesty just wants to find a better time."
"So now that the Queen has a prince, it's a better time?"
"Yes!" Jin Weige raised her head and put all her hatred for Concubine Zhao on the Queen. "The Queen framed me so badly, how could I watch her, such a wicked person, raise the Emperor's child! Your Majesty, my feelings for you are evident to all! I can endure being wronged, but I cannot endure anything happening to your offspring!"
She leaned down again and knelt on the ground, hiding her uncontrollable tears. "Your Majesty, I have always thought that my feelings for you are different from others. Your Majesty would never bear to let me suffer, so I have been waiting... I just didn't expect that I would have to wait so long."
"Your Majesty, I only found out afterwards that it was the Queen who did it. But you have already punished me. If I say that the Queen was the mastermind, outsiders will definitely think that Your Majesty was deceived, which will damage your reputation. That's why I thought of waiting until later to save your face."
Zhang Chengyan stood up and helped her up personally. "You have suffered a lot, and I know what you are feeling. Let's put it this way. From today on, you will move back to Yaoguang Palace. During the time you have been away, I have also sent people to clean up. Even if today's incident had not happened, you would have returned."
Jin Weige burst into tears, "Your Majesty..."
She burst into tears.
The first time was not because of the emperor’s feelings for her, but because of Jin Zhi!
Because her own brother was so cold and heartless to her, she couldn't accept it!
"Okay, you should go back to Yaoguang Palace first. You don't look well, so take good care of yourself."
Jin Weige almost stumbled out of the door.
She really wanted to find Concubine Zhao, slap her hard, and ask her why she still seduced Jin Zhi!
But she didn't dare to go over there now, as that would be simply an admission of guilt.
After leaving the palace, Xiyue saw that she looked so bad, and hurried forward to support her, "Madam, what happened to you?"
"Let's go back to Yaoguang Palace."
Xiyue's face lit up with joy, "My Queen, can we go back now?"
"Yes, go back first."
Not long after the two left, the queen came to the Yangxin Palace again.
When she saw Nanny Li, her face turned grim, "Your Majesty."
"Well, I already know what's going on." Zhang Chengyan signaled them to take Nanny Li away first, as he had something to say to the Queen alone.
After the people left, Zhang Chengyan did not hide what happened just now, "Jinpin knew about your slander and framing. She was the one who sent Nanny Li away. If you hadn't been raising the eldest prince this time, she probably wouldn't have come to beat the drum to complain. In Jinpin's opinion, you have a vicious mind, and the eldest prince will only have problems if you have him under your wing."
Concubine Jin?
When the queen heard the name, her first reaction was that it was impossible!
She knew Jin Weige's character very well.
If she had known that I had framed her, how could she have endured it until now? He must come out immediately to prove his innocence!
Besides, the eldest prince was not Jin Weige’s son. She must have wanted to kill him. How could she do such a thing for a child born to her enemy?
This... this is simply like the act of a saint!
Jin Weige is absolutely unworthy of such noble character!
"Your Majesty, I really do..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything else. I don't want to hear it now." In fact, Zhang Chengyan has already concluded that it was the Queen who did it.
The irrefutable evidence is here. If we continue investigating, we will definitely find the truth.
As for Jin Weige, she has such an impatient temper, and the only reason she has been able to endure until today is because of her true love for herself.
He was touched that she had endured until now for the sake of his reputation.
"I don't want to embarrass the royal family, so I will announce to the public that this is just a misunderstanding. As for Nanny Li, she cannot die. I will arrange for her to leave the palace tomorrow so that the people will know. From today on, you will stay in Fengyi Palace. As for the eldest prince, you will still be the one raising him. But I will personally send people to serve him, so you don't have to do anything."
The reason why the eldest prince was not taken back immediately was also because she did not want the outside world to spread rumors that the queen had really done something wrong.
After the storm has subsided, the eldest prince will be sent back to Concubine Zhao.
A queen with this kind of character is indeed not qualified to raise a prince.
"Your servant... understands." The queen knew that it was useless for her to defend herself, so it would be better for her to say nothing, so as not to make the emperor even more disgusted.
"Go away, I don't want to see you now."
