Concubine Mei saw Ji Yunzhuo walking in, and hurriedly put down the teacup and greeted her with a smile: "Ah Zhuo, the mother concubine is about to send someone to invite you!" β
Suddenly, seeing Ji Yunzhuo's serious expression, she smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Who owes you money, what happened? β
Ji Yunzhuo said: "I have just met Princess Anhe. β
Concubine Mei paused, then laughed and said, "Oh, you've seen her, is she okay?" β
"Mother!" Ji Yunzhuo raised her voice and shouted, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" β
"Explain? What to explain? Did Princess Ann and Princess tell you something? Concubine Mei began to be unhappy and questioned her son.
"Isn't what Princess Ann and Princess said the truth?"
Ji Yunzhuo looked directly at Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei sat back in her seat and said with a sigh of relief: "Why do you easily believe what Hua Wanwan said?" Why would you rather trust an outsider than your own mother? β
"Mother, do you believe in yourself?"
Concubine Mei was stunned.
Ji Yunzhuo continued to ask: "The matter of the eldest prince and Lingzhi, mother, do you believe that you can stay out of it?" Do you believe you are innocent? Tell me! β
Concubine Mei couldn't hold back any longer, and said negatively: "Yes, Hua Wanwan is right, the accident on Chinese New Year's Eve is the bureau designed by the palace, in order to make the eldest prince ruined and the empress lose face!" But what is Hongu doing this for? β
"For me? For the sake of my throne, you must wipe out all those who threaten me. This reason is universal to the mother, no matter how much the mother does to prevaricate the ministers, I just want to say that I am too tired, if my future must rely on the blood and tears of so many innocent people to be happy, then we don't want that throne! β
"It's too late! Now, do you think you can get out of it? Ah Zhuo, you are too naΓ―ve, now you and your mother are riding tigers, you are now the most powerful competitor of the crown prince, how many people are staring at you, if you can't be ruthless, you will only be eaten alive! β
Concubine Mei's words surprised Ji Yunzhuo.
He turned away and said, "Why should the mother be alarmist? The four princes have gone, the six princes have been exiled, the eldest prince is crazy and stupid, the nine princes are just starting out, and the seventh prince has long since died and has no place to be buried......"
"Don't forget that there are also the third prince and the fifth prince, do you think that the fourth prince is gone, who knows if he will make a comeback? Although the six princes are exiled, they don't want to return to the capital all the time, there is Dongzheng Hou behind the eldest prince, and since the nine princes are fledgling, they have a great chance, Ah Zhuo, the situation is so grim, how can you take it lightly? If the mother concubine and you are a little relaxed, don't talk about the throne, even your life is at risk. β
Concubine Mei's analysis made sense, Ji Yunzhuo was irrefutable, and he said: "In this case, the mother concubine should not easily turn her back on her allies. That Lingzhi is Princess Anhe's confidant, how can the mother concubine move Princess Anhe's people? β
"This matter is a miscalculation by the mother, the mother thought that if she wanted to achieve something, she would have to sacrifice, who knew that Princess Anhe would not be of the same mind as the mother."
Ji Yunzhuo smiled dumbly: "The mother concubine doesn't want to think about this matter, except for letting Lingzhi die and letting Princess An and Princess break with us, what else do we get?" The mother concubine spent so much effort to calculate a game, but it was harmful to others and herself. For the eldest prince, the mother concubine is the executioner who killed Lingzhi......"
"Ah Zhuo, you blamed the concubine for being conclusive, do you know about this, even if the concubine is the executioner, you also acted as an accomplice."
Ji Yunzhuo was stunned.
Concubine Mei said: "Do you still remember that **** who brought the eldest prince to the Mei Palace to drink peach blossom brew?" β
Ji Yunzhuo stumbled backwards, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Concubine Mei set up such a game because she knew the secret of the eldest prince's crying to herself.
It turns out that you did not kill Beren, but because of you, Boren died.
At this moment, Ji Yunzhuo apologized to the eldest prince, Lingzhi, and Hua Wanwan.

Coming out of the Mei Palace, Ji Yunzhuo wanted to go to Kunning Palace to see the eldest prince, but he was afraid that a weasel would end up paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he was even more afraid of facing Hua Wanwan's indifference, so he finally left the palace depressed.
On the way back to the Eight Emperors' Palace, the carriage was killed by an arrow, and Ji Yunzhuo injured his left arm in a fight with the Assassins, and the sword was poisoned, but fortunately he found the antidote in the arms of the dead Assassin.
Looking at the assassins all over the ground, thinking about the thrilling scene of Shicai, Ji Yunzhuo realized that Concubine Mei's words were not alarmist, but true.
In all dynasties, the battle for the crown prince was bloody, and he was unavoidably able to face such a brotherly confrontation.
Success or defeat depends on his choice, but also on the destiny of heaven.
The news of the assassination of the Eighth Prince soon spread throughout the government and the opposition and the harem.
In Kunning Palace, Hua Wanwan reminded the queen: "Should the queen mother go to the emperor to clear her name?" β
The queen has long heard that the assassination of the eighth prince has caused many people to suspect that she is the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying." The queen has the queen's clear height.
Hua Wanwan disagreed: "Sometimes, justification may be interpreted as quibble, but not justification can also be interpreted as acquiescence. β
The queen thought about it, so she went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.
The emperor now sees her, and he can only hide his disgust.
Originally, he valued Dongzheng Hou so much, if it weren't for the queen giving birth to a stupid prince, then Dong Zhenghou would be undoubtedly the uncle of the country.
"The queen came to see me late at night, but for the assassination of the eighth prince?"
The emperor got straight to the point.
The queen knelt on the ground and raised her head, and said, "In the emperor's heart, can you think that the concubine is the mastermind behind the scenes?" β
The emperor put down the wolf's hair, raised his eyes to look at the queen, and said: "According to what the queen sees, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, someone said that the queen was the mastermind behind the assassination of the eighth son, but it was groundless? β
"Of course not."
"Oh, I'd love to hear about it."
The empress said calmly: "The eldest prince had an ugly incident on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor sent Concubine Mei to preside over the trial, so that the eldest prince was severely whipped and injured. Others must have thought that the concubine hated Concubine Mei for this matter, so they sent a murderous assassination. β
"The emperor is really a smart man."
The queen said: "What does the emperor think?" In the emperor's heart, is the concubine such a person? β
It's hard to say. The emperor was in his heart.
But he said: "Since I have made you the queen, I know that you must not be a narrow-minded person, and you must be tolerant." β
The empress knew that the emperor's words might not be sincere, but at the moment, she still felt excited when she heard it in her ears.
She bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a reluctant request, I hope the emperor can order a thorough investigation of the assassination of the eighth son, first, to return the concubine's innocence to the public, and second, the eighth prince is the pillar of the country, and the emperor, as the king of a country and the head of the family, must protect him!"
