Chapter 158: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 78
Yongqi really wanted to know, so when he knew Yongsheng was coming, he waited at the door, wanting to find out.
The answer he got was exactly what he expected. Yongcheng looked at him apologetically and said, "I only found out about this after I woke up. I am ultimately sorry for you and the Empress Dowager. Fourth Brother does not ask for your forgiveness."
Yongqi smiled slightly, "Thank you for saving me today, Fourth Brother. The Emperor has already made the decision, so that's all."
This matter was directed at him. Since he is fine, it is not difficult to give face to Fourth Brother.
But the abuse from his third brother was still lingering in his mind. It was fine if he abused him, but what about his mother? He had to teach him a lesson.
After being taken away, Jin Yuyan leaned against the window and stared at the beads in her hand for a long time. This was the beads she brought from Yu's family, but now, only this dead object could bring her some comfort.
"Your servant pays respects to Lady Jia."
Bai Xi looked at Jin Yuyan, her face still as indifferent as when they first met. Jin Yuyan took a deep breath and forced herself to look at her: "Aunt Bai Xi, has the emperor issued an order?"
She pretended to be strong, but Bai Xi could see the trepidation and fear beneath her pretending to be calm. She did not keep it a secret and told Jin Yuyan about Hongli's arrangement for her: "The emperor has ordered that the mother of the fourth prince, Jin, is stubborn and unyielding, and does not discipline her subordinates. She is demoted to a concubine, stripped of her title, and confined to Qixiang Palace for life, and is not allowed to leave without being summoned."
In the end, Hongli still gave Yongsheng a face and did not charge her with the crime of killing the royal heir. But she might never be able to get out of this crime in the future.
Jin Yuyan suppressed her discomfort and knelt down to receive the order: "I will obey the emperor's order."
Seeing Jin Yuyan's pale face, Bai Xi told her what Jinzhong had told her: "Jin promised that the emperor would spare your life because of the Fourth Prince's plea. Don't do such treasonous things again in the future."
"If you say that the Fourth Prince is indeed pitiful, the fact that his birth mother was a tribute daughter of the Yu clan has forever cut off his chance of inheriting the throne. Now that he has a birth mother like you who has made a big mistake, I'm afraid his path to becoming a prince will be blocked in the future."
Jin Yuyan felt a darkness in front of her eyes. She looked at Bai Xi in astonishment and said, "What did you say? What did you say?! What do you mean by this?"
She originally felt sorry for her child and pleaded for her, fearing that Yongcheng would be implicated, but Bai Xi's words struck her like lightning and terrified.
"You...what are you saying? Who told you to say that? Huh?!"
Jin Yuyan has always taken the words of the revitalizing Yu family and the prince as her guiding principle, and never thought that everything she has done today is just a joke from beginning to end in the eyes of others?
Bai Xi looked at her almost crazy appearance and felt that this woman was a tragedy from beginning to end. She used this belief to live her life as a ladder to climb up for the Yu family, and she still dreamed of the supreme position?
How sad.
"Everyone in the palace knows about this. Not to mention the emperor, even the ministers outside will not agree. You should spend the rest of your life here repenting for your sins."
After Bai Xi left, she took the rest of the servants with her. The people around Jin Yuyan would either be sent away or return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find new masters.
But Jin Yuyan probably doesn't have any chance in this life.
Jin Yuyan knelt on the ground for a long time. The hall was empty and she just felt extremely cold. She looked around anxiously and finally hugged herself with trembling hands. It turned out... everyone knew about it, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark?
Hahahaha, hahahaha! Ridiculous! Too ridiculous!
Jin Yuyan screamed and cried uncontrollably. Her life was now falling apart. The mother clan that had once made her proudest now made her feel miserable.
When the new palace maid came to serve, they saw Jin Yuyan lying on the ground. She looked like she was in great pain, with disheveled hair and a dead heart.
Bai Xi went back and saw Jin Zhong standing at the door. She asked him, "What did Jin Da Ying do that made you hate him so much?"
Jinzhong: "...Maybe it's because she did too many evil things and I couldn't stand it."
His words were vague, so Bai Xi didn't ask any more questions and said to him, "I did what you said."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Bai Xi, I'll treat you to tea some other day."
Jinzhong had a smile on his face. Bai Xi felt a chill when she saw him like that. She didn't answer him and just waved her hand and went in.
As soon as I entered, I saw Hongli and Wei Yanwan having a meal. After what happened today, both of them had no appetite.
"Reporting to the Emperor and the Empress, I have already gone to Consort Jin to announce the decree."
"Well, have someone keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything harmful to the world again in the future."
Bai Xi agreed and then stepped back.
Seeing Hongli, she knew that he was disappointed with Jin Yuyan and the Third Prince, so she advised: "The Emperor has punished him, so let's just leave it at that. As for the Third Prince...he lost his mother early, so it's normal for him to act a little ridiculous for a while."
Hongli snorted coldly, "He is not ridiculous at all, but now he dares to do something to harm his brother. If we let him go on like this, we can't imagine what will happen to him!"
At this point, he couldn't help but blame Su Lujun again, "It's Su's fault in the end. She taught the eldest prince to be like that, and she still dreamed of the position of queen! Now Yongzhang has done such a thing!"
Hongli is extremely furious now, and I'm afraid he will be in a bad mood for some time.
Wei Yanwan could only give a few words of advice and was unwilling to say anything more.
Besides, Yong Zhang wanted to harm her child. Although he was stopped by Yong Cheng, he really wanted to harm Yong Qi."
When they were resting at night, Wei Yanwan was held by Hongli for a long time, which made her feel hot all over.
Just as she was about to push him away, she heard Hongli say to her, "Yanwan, only you and Yongqi know what I am thinking."
There was a strong sense of depression in his tone. He must have been very angry today. Wei Yanwan pushed his hand away and patted his shoulder gently: "I will always be by your side."
"I know."
After saying that, Hongli hugged Wei Yanwan tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and hid the triumphant smile on the corner of his lips.
Wei Yanwan had no idea that she had been tricked by Hongli, so she endured it and fell asleep.
If Hongli was really angry, he was actually angry, but more importantly, they wanted to hurt Yongqi.
Yongqi has been with him for so many years, and he has always loved and pampered Yongqi, even more than he did Yonglian in the past. If Yongqi was really killed at this time, he would definitely be heartbroken.
He has been partial to Yongzhang and Yongcheng for so many years and has indeed neglected Yongzhang and Yongcheng, but he admits that he is partial to them. It's okay for Yongzhang and Yongcheng to be dissatisfied with him, but they cannot hurt Yongqi.
Considering that Yongzhang was his own child, Yongqi ordered his men to beat him with twenty boards. His subordinates knew the limits and only inflicted some physical pain on him without causing any serious harm.
