Chapter 209 Exposed (Part )
Because Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong both lived in the Yanx Palace, they went to the East Warm Pavilion together.
The two of them bowed, and Yinzhen did not ask them to sit down, so they just stood aside.
But a moment later, Zhen Huan, Wen Shichu, and Qi Chong also arrived one after another. Seeing that everyone was present, Yinzhen signaled Su Peisheng to explain the whole story.
An Lingrong was shocked after hearing this, but she had to control herself and not show any guilt. She kept repeating to herself, "No conclusion has been drawn yet, I must not just accept it."
Zhen Huan's eyes were red, as if she had just learned about this matter. She even said, "Your Majesty, could there be a misunderstanding? How could Sister An do such a thing? This is a serious crime of murdering the heir to the throne. She...she wouldn't dare to do it."
Xia Dongchun patted her chest in shock and said, "Fortunately, I was cautious and asked Doctor Xu to check it out. Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous, Your Majesty."
At this point, Yinzhen thought of Hongyi and his expression changed again and again. He obviously thought that if Xia Dongchun had not been careful, Hongyi might not have been born.
An Lingrong saw this and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is true that I made this scar-removing glue, but I would never dare to do such a thing, Your Majesty, please understand!"
Yinzhen just looked at her coldly without making any comment.
An Lingrong felt more and more uneasy. After all, she was the one who did it. She thought that no one would know about it, but who could have known that it would be exposed in such a way.
"Thinking back to when I had a miscarriage, I heard Lord Wen say that I seemed to have used musk. At first I thought Lord Wen had misdiagnosed me, but now I think, is it because of this scar-removing glue?" Zhen Huan covered her lips with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
"I know this. Wen Shichu came to report to me." Yinzhen nodded. At first he thought it was because of Huanyixiang in Yiku Palace. Now it seems that it was not because he accidentally hurt his and Huanhuan's child while guarding against Shilan, but there is actually another hidden story.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt relieved. As long as it was someone else, it was good enough.
"Your Majesty!" An Lingrong also heard that Yinzhen was not going to give her another chance to argue, and she became anxious.
Xia Dongchun spoke up at this time: "An Da Ying, you are so cruel. If I remember correctly, when you first entered the palace, you and Wanpin were as close as sisters. Are you so ruthless to your own sister?"
After saying that, Xia Dongchun turned to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, if Lord Xu hadn't discovered something wrong this time, and if we allowed such a person to stay in the palace, wouldn't there be no peace in the harem?"
"What Concubine Zhao said makes sense." Yinzhen agreed with Xia Dongchun's words, but for the sake of caution, he still asked the two imperial doctors Wen and Qi to check the scar-removing glue.
"Your Majesty, this scar-removing glue does contain musk. There is not much paste left in the box, but it is obvious that no one has used it for a long time. If the musk was added by Concubine Wan before giving it to Concubine Zhao, there should be signs of stirring." Although Wen Shichu had known for a long time that there was musk in the scar-removing glue, he still pretended to have just discovered it.
Qi Chong was the only one among the three doctors who was actually doing the first examination. After a careful inspection, he also said, "Your Majesty, I have the same opinion as Lord Wen. This thing looks like it hasn't been used for a long time. Musk should have been mixed in from the beginning, not recently."
"Your Majesty," Jin Xi also stood up and said, "If Concubine Zhao hadn't mentioned the scar issue by chance this time, our Queen wouldn't have remembered the scar-relief glue. How could our Queen have foreseen it and given it to Concubine Zhao in advance by mixing musk with it? Please understand, Your Majesty."
"Of course I know all this." Yinzhen did not spare An Lingrong a glance, his voice full of the emperor's majesty, "Su Peisheng, pass on my order and inform the six palaces that An Shi has plotted to murder the heir to the throne and has a lack of moral integrity. She shall be deposed, demoted to a commoner, and banished to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty!" An Lingrong collapsed on the ground, unable to accept this fact.
Su Peisheng had already agreed: "Yes, I will go right away."
Immediately afterwards, Yinzhen was too lazy to listen to An Lingrong's further words, and waved his hand to signal Su Peisheng to have someone take An Lingrong away.
Perhaps knowing that she had no hope, An Lingrong did not beg for mercy anymore.
The matter was settled, and Xu Zhiyun, Wen Shichu and Qi Chong also took their leave.
Xia Dongchun saw that Yinzhen seemed to have something to say to Zhen Huan, so she bowed and said, "Your Majesty, according to the time, Hongyi will wake up soon, and it's time for me to go back."
"Okay, you are also frightened by this matter. I will accompany you when I have time." Yinzhen said.
"I'll take my leave." Xia Dongchun also left with her people.
Only Yinzhen, Zhen Huan and Jinxi were left in the palace.
Jinxi also tactfully went outside to wait.
"Hanhuan, you have suffered." Yinzhen held Zhenhuan's hand, "Don't worry, I intend to promote you to a higher position. I will issue an order immediately to promote you to a concubine."
Zhen Huan was concerned about the rules: "Your Majesty, I have no children, and I am not very experienced. Even if I want to be promoted, it should be Concubine Zhao who has both sons and daughters. How dare I take the position of concubine?"
"If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it." Yinzhen knew this, but he was determined to promote Zhen Huan, and no one could stop him. "I have already given Zhaopin the share of the concubine's position and the power to assist in managing the six palaces. You don't have to worry about this."
Zhen Huan had no reason to refuse, and she and Yinzhen held hands as if they were in tune with each other.
On the palace road, Xia Dongchun sat upright in the sedan chair, feeling relaxed and happy.
But this was not enough. An Lingrong was just banished to the cold palace, which was not enough to relieve her.
We must find a way to get rid of her completely to prevent future troubles.
