"Yes, Your Majesty." Following the response, An Fuhai stumbled in, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Mian Mo, I will personally draft a decree to release the Yun family from the palace." Dongfang Chen said coldly.
An Fuhai was slightly startled, and then quickly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After answering, An Fuhai stepped forward and waited. Dongfang Chen's face darkened, he picked up the pen, filled it with ink, and started writing.
The next day, early morning.
The always deserted Leng Palace ushered in a group of eunuchs delivering edicts. The one holding the edicts was An Fuhai, and the person delivering the edicts was Yun Xiyao.
After a flurry of preparations, they were ready to receive the order. Then, with Yun Xiyao in front, Bai Zhi and other servants from Leng Palace behind them, they all knelt on the ground, waiting for An Fuhai to announce the order.
An Fuhai held up the imperial edict and read loudly: "By God's will, the emperor issued an edict: According to my investigation over the past year, the real culprit in the witchcraft case committed by the Yun family was Qingyue, a female official next to the Yun family, who was arrested a year ago.
The execution, in this way, proves Yun's innocence. Now I have decided to exempt Zhu from the punishment and make her a concubine. I hereby--"
If it weren't for her good mental quality, Yun Xiyao would have fainted with excitement. Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Yun Xiyao fell on the ground and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"Okay, Yun, please get up and take the order." An Fuhai said calmly.
Yun Xiyao stood up, holding back her tears, and devoutly took the imperial edict from An Fuhai, and then said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager An."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, you are welcome. You can pack up now and follow the servants to Shuyan Palace." An Fuhai said respectfully.
Yun Xiyao was overjoyed when she heard this, but she restrained her facial muscles to prevent herself from acting too rude, and tried to say in a calm tone: "There is nothing to clean up here. I can leave with Eunuch An right now."
"That's it, Concubine Shu, please." An Fuhai gestured with his hands respectfully.
In this way, Yun Xiyao followed An Fuhai back to Shuyan Palace holding a volume of imperial edict.
In Fengxiang Palace, Yun Jingchu listened to Bai Zhi's report, slightly curling his lips and smiling unfathomably.
After the report, Bai Zhi looked at Yun Jingchu with an uneasy look. To be honest, now that Yun Xiyao was favored again, Bai Zhi was lying when she said she wasn't worried. She was worried for herself and also worried for Yun Jingchu.
"Okay, I understand. Since Yun is no longer in the Leng Palace, I will ask Concubine Xian to transfer you and the other three people who are responsible for serving her. From now on, you will be on duty in Fengxiang Palace and don't have to go back to the Leng Palace.
"
Bai Zhi was overjoyed, and then thanked her: "I thank the Queen."
Nodding, Yun Jingchu turned to Xueying and said, "Xueying, you should go to Concubine Xian right now and ask her to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transfer the four servants responsible for serving the Yun family to my palace.
"
"Yes, empress." After Xueying said that, she walked out the door.
Then, Yun Jingchu turned to Snow Vulture on the other side and ordered: "Xue Vulture, take Bai Zhi out now and arrange her room and tasks."
Xue Jiu responded and took Bai Zhi out to make arrangements.
The next day.
All the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects to Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu looked at the thin but still beautiful Yun Xiyao in the crowd and smiled, but did not let anyone get up.
Now, there are nearly one-third fewer concubines in the harem, and it seems a bit deserted than in the past.
Under Yun Jingchu's gaze, Yun Xiyao felt tense, feeling that she might be in trouble again.
