Chapter 216: Help me get revenge

Nanny Li took the treasure box, knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply. Xi Que, Shuang Jiang, Nanny Xiang and others turned their heads to wipe their tears.

"Nanny Xiang, take someone to see Nanny Li off. If you see Nanny Li's family, please say hello on behalf of me."

Saying hello on behalf of others is fake, but being a backer for Nanny Li is real.

Concubine Xian really took all aspects into consideration in order to make Nanny Li happy in her later years.

Nanny Xiang and Nanny Li are old friends. If there is anyone in the palace who is most reluctant to let Nanny Li go, it must be Nanny Xiang.

Jiang Xinyue asked her to see Nanny Li off, and it was also to give the two old sisters a little time to reminisce.

"Woof, woof, woof... woof..."

Even the dog that was rolling around on the swing in the yard seemed to sense the depressed atmosphere and kept barking at Li Ma.

Its drooping ears and eyes showed its low mood.

Li Ma was afraid that she would cry if she stayed any longer, so she strode out. When

Li Ma and Xiang Ma had been out for half a cup of tea, someone came from Yikun Palace: "Empress Xianfei, our Empress wants to summon you to Yikun Palace to talk."

Does the Empress want to find her for some cooperation? It

doesn't hurt to go and take a look, just in case it's beneficial to her!

She had a falling out with Concubine De, but not with the Empress, and even on the surface, their relationship was pretty good.

When the Empress was surrounded by enemies, she would most likely want to win allies instead of making enemies.

There were still green leaves replaced by new buds falling at the entrance of the Yikun Palace, but no one was there to sweep them, which was impossible in the past.

Jiang Xinyue held up the hem of her skirt to prevent the corners of her clothes from sweeping the withered leaves, and walked into the Yikun Palace without looking around.

There were very few palace servants, and even Fenyun was the only one at the door to pass messages.

Fenyun should have been serving the Empress closely, so when did she start doing the work of a second-class maid?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is here."

"Come in!"

At this time, the Empress didn't care about any false etiquette.

She had a circle of white silk wrapped around her head, and bright red blood oozed from her forehead. After just one or two days of not seeing her, her previously decent figure had become as thin as a skeleton. Her

face was pale, and her lips were cracked and bleeding. She looked as if she was about to die.

Jiang Xinyue stared at her for a few seconds and found that the color of her cheeks and behind her ears were inconsistent. She knew in her heart that the queen had powdered her face to pretend to be pitiful!

It was impossible for her to powder her neck as well, but there was an oversight, and Jiang Xinyue looked at the dividing line behind the ears.

"Your concubine has seen the queen..."

But who is Jiang Xinyue?

When it comes to acting, she is the lady!

"Cough cough cough... Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian, there is no need to be so polite, get up quickly..."

The cough was not very real!

She should cough twice, breathe faster, cough until she starts to vomit, tears come out of her eyes, and then let Fenyun pat her on the back. After her breathing stabilizes, she speaks again in a weak voice.

Jiang Xinyue had an expression of disbelief and worry on her face, and her eyes kept looking at the queen: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for just a few days, why are you so haggard?"

She reached out to help the queen, but the queen grabbed her arm. Her palm was cold, which made Jiang Xinyue realize that the queen was seriously ill, half of which was fake, but the other half might be true.

The Queen's breathing quickened a little, and she held Jiang Xinyue's hand harder and harder: "Xianfei, my body is useless, Defei... I didn't expect that the most ambitious person was hiding beside me despite all my precautions. Xianfei, you have to help me get revenge!"

She gritted her teeth when she said the last sentence, and her eyes quickly became red, as if she would shed tears of blood in the next moment.

If it was just because the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion had hurt her, or if Defei had framed her, it would not be enough to make the Queen so hateful and angry.

Jiang Xinyue knew that the Queen would only blame herself for not being as skilled as others after a brief anger.

"Your Majesty..."

The concern in her eyes was genuine: "What happened? The other day, Concubine De said that it was I who poisoned the Third Prince, how come you suddenly changed your words and said it was you? I know that if you wanted to kill the Third Prince, he wouldn't be alive today, how could it be you who did it?"

The Queen chuckled: "Even you understand this, how could the Emperor not know it?"

She laughed and tears flowed down her face: "I didn't lose to Concubine De, I lost to "It's the Emperor who wants me dead... It's my husband who I've slept with all my life who wants me dead!"

She shouted and pounded the bed, "I'm so stupid. I always thought that as long as I was wholeheartedly for him, he would always find the good in me. I deserve this. It's me, hahahaha... puff..."

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the Empress' mouth. Jiang Xinyue screamed and supported the tall and thin skeleton who fell down: "Empress!"

Why must it come to this?

If you are heartless, I will give up. The Emperor doesn't love me, so I can just love myself. Why do I have to hurt myself like this?

It's not worth it at all!

The Queen fell into her arms: "I chose this path, and I don't blame anyone, but... my children... my children are innocent!"

Speaking of the deceased Crown Prince Duanhui and the Second Prince, the Queen's eyes burst into strong hatred again: "My children, Zhan'er and Chuan'er, were killed by Concubine De!"

"What?"

"Not only my children, there are only two princes, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, in the harem for all these years. It's because Concubine De secretly drugged the pregnant concubines, so no children were born in the palace." The Queen's

eyes were full of regret: "I trusted her too much back then, and that gave her the opportunity to kill Zhan'er and Chuan'er."

"How did Your Majesty know it was Concubine De?"

They didn't find out for so many years before, how did you know it was Concubine De who did it this time?

Jiang Xinyue would not rush into something without evidence.

"I said so, so I have evidence."

The Queen glanced at Fenyun, who had red eyes, and took out a bloody handkerchief from the drawer of her dressing table.

"This is a blood letter written by Ning Feixiu, a maid in the palace of Concubine De, who died in this palace's Yikun Palace. It confessed Concubine De's crimes of killing the former crown prince and the second prince, as well as many pregnant concubines in the harem. Before Concubine De entered the palace, she studied medicine for a period of time and was very knowledgeable about making poisons, which I never knew."

Her youngest son suddenly fell into the water while watching fish by the river and drowned.

The Queen suspected that Concubine De had used some medicine to cause him to faint, otherwise how could he not call for help after falling into the water?

The little prince suddenly contracted smallpox and died in a strange way.

If she thought about it carefully, she could see the figure of Concubine De in every detail, but because Concubine De was hers at that time, she didn't think about Concubine De at all.
