This great drama is almost done and it’s time to come to an end.
Xie Mingxi slowly opened her mouth: "Now that the matter has come to light, let's follow the mother's wishes and send Miss Ninth back to the Yu family!"
"Yu Qiao did this behind her master's back and almost made a big mistake. Considering that you have served your mother for more than ten years, I will spare you the death penalty this time. However, this palace cannot tolerate a slave who goes behind his master's back.
"
"Someone, drag Yu Qiao out, beat her thirty times, and expel her from the palace!"
This time, it was Yu Qiao's turn to be filled with grievances and look pale.
It was revealed that she drugged the emperor, and she was lucky to be able to save her life. At this moment, how could she open her mouth to beg for mercy?
Yu Qiao swallowed the sour pain in her throat, kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you, the Queen, for not killing me."
Then, Yu Qiao kowtowed to the Queen Mother Yu again: "It was my fault that I almost caused a big disaster. I deserved to be kicked out of the palace. From now on, I can no longer serve the Queen Mother. I will kowtow to the Queen Mother a few more times."
Boom, boom, boom!
Yu Qiao kowtowed very hard, and her forehead landed heavily on the hard and cold jade ground. Soon her forehead became red and blood oozed out.
Queen Mother Yu knew that she should show her anger. It would be better to scold Yu Qiao severely and show her anger at being betrayed by a slave and a bully...
But she couldn't do anything or say anything at this time. It was as if something was blocking her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe and almost suffocating her.
Xianzhi turned against her.
Zhilan is dead.
Yu Qiao will be expelled from the palace.
Everyone around her left her.
…
After kowtowing, Yu Qiao was dragged out by several palace maids.
Yu Yan collapsed on the ground, neither crying nor fussing, nor arguing and explaining. She stood there in a daze, as if she had lost her mind.
Empress Dowager Yu, who successfully removed herself, didn't look good at this time.
How could Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi miss this great opportunity to stab her in the heart?
"Queen mother, calm down!" Sheng Hong said with a sincere expression of concern for his filial son: "Slaves like these who betray their master must never stay in the palace again."
Xie Mingxi took over the conversation: "Yes! My daughter-in-law must choose some other maids who are far more loyal and capable than Yu Qiao to come to Fulin Palace to serve the queen mother."
Empress Dowager Yu was expressionless: "No need. I'm exhausted. Let's go back to the dormitory to rest. The emperor and queen can go about their own business!"
Empress Dowager Yu tried her best to straighten her back, not wanting to show the dejection of a loser. Without looking at the two of them, she tremblingly left with the support of the maids.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi looked at each other, joy flashing in their eyes.
An envoy from the Zhao Yuan reported the news in advance, and Empress Dowager Yu's plan seemed pale and ridiculous. The couple joined forces and used the plan to plot against Empress Dowager Yu. They successfully cut off Empress Dowager Yu's last arm and also cut off her body.
The ambition of the Yu family to send their daughter to the palace as a concubine.
"Your Majesty, would you like to go back to Jiaofang Hall to rest for a while?" Xie Mingxi asked softly.
Sheng Hong nodded, held Xie Mingxi's hand, and the emperor and empress walked away together.
From the beginning to the end, no one gave Yu Yan a second glance.
…
Yu Yan knelt on the spot blankly. Her knees were sore and painful, almost numb. After a long time, Yu Yan began to cry softly. Her cries were as desperate and pitiful as a little beast that had fallen into a trap.
An hour later, Zhou was summoned to the palace.
Empress Dowager Yu did not even see Zhou, and sent a palace maid to deliver the oral message.
This palace maid was not as favored as Zhilan Yuqiao, and she was also an old man who had served Empress Dowager Yu for many years. She opened her mouth to tell the "whole story" of the matter: "...Miss Ninth did such a thing, which made the Empress Dowager lose face and also brought shame to the Yu family.
.The Queen Mother has an order, Madam, please take Miss Ninth out of the palace immediately, and don’t let Miss Ninth appear in front of others in the future."
Mrs. Zhou was shocked and angry. She didn't dare to ask more questions and responded repeatedly.
Mrs. Zhou took the distraught Yu Yan back to the Yu Mansion.
Yu Yan is the legitimate daughter of the Yu family. She was called to the palace to accompany Queen Mother Yu because of her outstanding appearance. The Yu family also had great expectations for Yu Yan. Especially Yu Guangde, who had lost his position as the head of the family, was looking forward to Yu Yan.
She can become a palace concubine, give birth to a prince in the future, and restore the glory of the Yu family.
Yu Guangzheng, who became the head of the family, had the same expectations in his heart without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yan caused a big disaster in the palace and was mercilessly sent back to the Yu family by Queen Mother Yu.
Yu Guangzheng was furious and asked Yu Yan personally what he had done.
Yu Yan cried and expressed her grievances: "...This matter has nothing to do with me. I have never bribed Yu Qiao, nor have I instigated her to drug the emperor. Yu Qiao poured this basin of sewage on me.
In order to clear her name, the Queen Mother punished me severely regardless of the indiscretion..."
Yu Guang's expression changed again and again, and he interrupted Yu Yan sternly: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't slander the Queen Mother!"
"From today on, you will stay in the boudoir and are not allowed to leave the room."
The current Yu family must never be dragged into palace battles again.
She would rather sacrifice an insignificant Yu Yan than completely fall out with the Queen Mother, let alone become a thorn in the Queen Mother's side.
Yu Yan was just a chess piece from the beginning. If this move is made well, it will give the Yu family a chance to make a comeback. There is nothing to regret if the chess piece becomes useless.
…
From that day on, Yu Yan never appeared in front of others.
Miss Yu Jiu, who was in the palace to take care of her illness, suddenly left the palace and returned to the Yu Mansion. No matter how you looked at this, something was wrong. The Yu family announced to the outside world that Miss Yu Jiu was sick and did not dare to stay in the palace for a long time, lest the illness would be passed on to her.
Queen Mother Yu.
Miss Yu Jiu was recuperating in her boudoir. A year later, Yu Yan was seriously ill and died.
These are all things for later.
Not only Yu Yan but also Yu Qiao was expelled from the palace.
After thirty blows, half of Yu Qiao's life was lost. She was kicked out of the palace for making a mistake, so naturally she was not qualified to pack her clothes.
The imperial guard who was ordered to send Yu Qiao out of the palace placed Yu Qiao at the door of a medical clinic and left another one hundred taels of silver for Yu Qiao: "This hundred taels of silver is given to you by the Queen to treat your injuries.
After you recover, leave the capital immediately and find a place to live in peace. You are not allowed to set foot in the capital again."
Yu Qiao struggled and kowtowed in thanks.
After the guards left, Yu Qiao struggled to get up again and walked slowly into the hospital. She had lost her former glory and now had nothing except a hundred taels of silver in her arms.
Fortunately, Queen Xie did not kill them all and left her a way to survive.
Compared to Zhilan, she is already lucky.
With these one hundred taels, she could buy some medicine for her injuries and have enough travel expenses to leave the capital. She was literate and good at female needlework, so she could support herself as an embroiderer in the future.
From now on, she has no further involvement with the palace, and no longer has to worry about serving the moody Empress Dowager Yu.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiao's bitter heart felt a flash of relief.
