The Empress Dowager was angry and looked full of contempt: "If you really consider him, be as calm as you said, and have no intention of power, why not take him out of the palace and call him a free person?"

Just based on Huai'en's status in the palace, even if he secretly sent his child out, it would be effortless.

"You pushed him out at the beginning, but you were greedy and pushed him to this position! At that time, you never asked him a word of willingness. Now you pushed him to a place of doom, and you didn't care about what he originally intended - you kept saying it was for his own good, but you just wanted to use him to gain wealth and honor, just thinking about winning, and not daring to lose!"

"Now that the situation is out of control, I began to think of a way out for myself. Although you still have one or two sincerity to him, but the remaining 80 or nine out of ten are all selfish!"

"No...I am not..."

Concubine Yun's eyes changed and she shook her head with tears flowing.

"I was really a little bitch at the beginning and could not withstand the persuasion of the people around me, so I made Ji'an's identity clear to the world... But I have long regretted it. I know I have made many mistakes, but I have never been willing to gamble with Ji'an... Now I copy scriptures day and night to pray for Ji'an, and I--"

After she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the empress dowager.

"Can't stand the persuasion of the people around you? Why don't you say that you can't stand the greed of your own-" The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed.

She looked at the thick handwritten scriptures on the table behind Concubine Yun and sneered, "Pray for Ji'an? Don't deceive yourself! Look at the Ai family, you are afraid that you have done something bad and are self-righteously redeeming yourself, so that your conscience will be better!"

“…”

Concubine Yun cried so hard that she could not help herself, and she could only shake her head tremblingly.

The Queen Mother looked at her quietly for a moment, but when she spoke again, her tone gradually calmed down.

"You have been safe and sound in Xianfu Palace over the years. Even if you were assassinated in Kaiyuan Temple, you can escape unstoppable. Do you really think it is your so-called cautious nature or your extraordinary luck? If you were not planning for you everywhere, how could you still have the life to push him into the abyss-"

The Queen Mother looked at him with a straight look and asked, "If you really have the selflessness you said, why didn't you stand up and explain the true story of that day when something happened to Ze'er?"

Concubine Yun's trembling body froze slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the empress dowager said, "Since Ann's Day clearly rejected Ze'er's proposal to bring the snacks back to Changchun Palace on the grounds that 'the snacks must be eaten while it is hot'. But when Ze'er left, you pretended to be a good person again and took the food box and handed it to him-"

Concubine Yun's face turned red and white.

"I... I saw that the Sixth Prince was very difficult to get closer to Ji'an, so I thought to pass the Sixth Prince... Maybe I could use this to show my kindness to Changchun Palace for Ji'an. That day, I told the Sixth Prince a lot of good things about Ji'an... I just wanted to tell Changchun Palace that my mother and son would never have any grudges..."

"The Ai family doesn't want to hear your stupid thoughts - the Ai family is asking you why they haven't told the truth about it?!"

"I am one with Ji'an... Even if I say it, it will definitely not prove anything..." Yun Fei cried slightly and added: "Besides, even if I don't say it, Ji'an will definitely say it... I have no intention of deliberately concealing it."

"Is that true?" The Empress Dowager looked at her condescendingly and said disappointedly: "But the prince has never mentioned it. This matter was found by the Ai family."

Without thinking, the prince could not be untouched by this.

Concubine Yun's expression was slightly stagnant.

"It is someone else's business to believe it or not. But as a mother, you must not say--"

The Queen Mother looked at her and said almost word by word: "Shen, you are not worthy of being a mother at all, let alone having such a good child."

At this time, she was not disappointed, but rather felt it was not worth it for the prince.

No matter how much the woman in front of me said, she could not hide the selfishness that came out of her bones.

"If you listen to Ai's words by 10%, you should go to Yangxin Hall immediately and truly admit your mistake to the emperor in front of all the ministers."

Concubine Yun raised her head slowly.

She opened her mouth and after a while she was able to speak out: "I am afraid that no one will believe me if I go and say it..."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "No matter whether it is useful or not, this is what you should do - the Ai family does not expect you to help the prince, nor will they threaten you with the responsibility of becoming a mother. However, since you have a breath, then you should be able to pay back as much as you take it from him!"

Don’t even think about using excuses that “it’s useless to do it” to conceal your selfish cowardice!

Concubine Yun didn't know whether it was shame or fear, but her eyes trembled and she knocked her head down.

"I understand the teachings of Empress Dowager Xie..."

The Queen Mother glanced at her last.

"You don't need to understand the Ai family." The Empress Dowager turned slowly: "You can't really understand it for a while."

“…”

Concubine Yun knocked her head lower, touched her forehead to the ground, and tears raged.

"I respectfully send the Empress Dowager..."

"Empress, the Empress Dowager has gone far away. Please help you up..." A little palace maid bent over to help Concubine Yun and said in a low voice.

The suffering and fear of the past few days are almost overwhelming. Concubine Yun has almost exhausted her strength.

The palace maid held the person into the bed with a little difficulty.

Concubine Yun leaned under the couch, covered her face and cried, and the Queen Mother's words kept echoing in her ears.

Those words, word by word, were like needle tips, constantly piercing her heart. She wanted to think deeply, but she had no courage to face them.

The palace maid handed over a warm handkerchief that was half-dried and said in a soft voice: "Empress, please wipe your face... Be careful, don't cry and ruin your body."

Concubine Yun put her hand down and subconsciously raised her head to look at her.

After a brief confusion, Concubine Yun realized.

This palace maid was originally in the outer hall, but after Tourmaline left, she began to serve her daily life alone.

Thinking of Tourmaline's death, Concubine Yun couldn't help but fall into a loss of mind.

There are some things that she still can't figure out.

Soon, the palace maid presented another cup of hot tea.

"Empress, have some tea."

Concubine Yun subconsciously took it, held it in her hand, and her eyes were dissipated.

The palace maid stood quietly beside her for a moment, and then said, "Empress, this tea is going to be cold, do you want me to change it for you?"

Concubine Yun came to her senses, noticed the warmth under her fingertips, shook her head, and slowly moved the teacup to her lips.

Seeing this, the palace maid lowered her head again, looking obedient.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came in.

"Grandma, let's wait, this tea is not enough!"
