Zhu Yixiu is reborn in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and single-handedly kills her way throug

Chapter 266

"Empress Dowager, I was mistaken in this matter. Concubine Yi is malicious and used the people around Concubine Jin to cause Concubine Hui to have a difficult labor and seriously injure her body. She deserves severe punishment."

"I will issue an edict to abolish Yi Changzai's title, demote her to the rank of official daughter, and confine her to Jiao Lu Pavilion. She is not allowed to leave the house unless summoned."

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Alas, I know that the Fucha family is powerful, but you are the emperor. When it comes to planning, you are far superior to a mere concubine like me. Emperor, you are no longer the little prince who lived in fear every day in the Old Summer Palace."

"Now that you are rich and powerful, and the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to be timid in your actions. Show your imperial demeanor, and who would dare to openly criticize you?"

"As for private matters, how good is your royal father's reputation among the people? That still cannot erase the fact that he was a wise ruler."

Hongli was a little stunned by the Empress Dowager's words.

But the Queen Mother did not stop there.

Then he sighed deeply, "I am old. Although I have children like Yongji who are always by my side, I can't help but feel uneasy from time to time."

"I think the day when I will meet the late emperor is not far away. In this life, I only hope that when you become the emperor, there will be no more obstacles. I hope Qingying can be a good queen and become your most capable and virtuous wife."

"As for the rest, I have no further wishes."

At this point, a trace of fatigue appeared on the empress dowager's face.

Regardless of what Hongli thought, Qingying felt a little sad when she saw it.

I am not from the Ulanara clan.

I am Zhu Yixiu.

Looking at this person in front of me who looks exactly like me, I feel a little distressed.

Over the years, I am the only one who knows how fearful the Queen Mother was during those days.

Even if she was cruel and ruthless, she could not change the fact that her life was limited by the emperor's favor.

"Imperial Mother, I am fortunate to have your constant guidance. I also hope that you will be in good health and live out your days in peace."

"Hearing the late emperor's words, Empress Dowager, please do not speak again in the future. Otherwise, your son and Qingying will be sad too."

The warmth between mother and son seemed to move Qingying.

Her eyes turned slightly red, and then two lines of tears fell.

This caused the Queen Mother to laugh and she said, "You little boy, I haven't done anything yet, and you're crying. If that day really comes, how can I leave with peace of mind?"

"The Empress Dowager is still talking!"

Qingying grabbed Hongli's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the Empress Dowager. She is deliberately trying to make me sad."

"I was originally moved by the deep love between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but for the Empress Dowager to say this, it really makes me cry endlessly."

Qingying rarely looked like this, which made Hongli feel curious.

He held Qingying in his backhand and said, "Qingying is right. Empress Dowager, please don't say such sad words again in the future. Otherwise, not only Qingying, but also your son will be heartbroken."

The Queen Mother had no reason to refuse, so she nodded and said, "You are all good children, I know that. Then I will pray to the Buddha to let me live longer and watch the children grow up."

The hall was filled with joy and the atmosphere was excellent.

After a moment of laughter, the Empress Dowager continued, "That Yichangzai, please follow the Emperor's wishes. However, Fucha is different from others. I will send a verbal order and ask Li Rongbao's wife, Jueluo, to come to the palace and explain the matter clearly."

"I think that the Fucha family has been passed down for many years, so they will definitely not be too unreasonable."

Hongli nodded and said, "Yes, I will trouble you, Empress Dowager, for this matter. However, apart from Fucha and Jin, I don't know what to do for the time being."

The Queen Mother took a sip of her teacup and asked, "Did the maidservant that Jin brought from the Joseon Dynasty die?"

"Empress Dowager, Jin's personal maid was named Xiangling. Because of the interrogation, my daughter-in-law had her caned thirty times. Although she is still alive, I'm afraid her body is already crippled."

Qingying sat up slightly and replied.

"That's difficult."
