A loud slap rang out, and the two of them finally came to their senses, lying on the ground, covering their faces and crying: "There's a ghost, there really is a ghost?"

  "Hush, the Emperor is here, even ghosts and monsters wouldn't dare approach." Li Gonggong knew that Xiurong disliked such talk, and couldn't help but kick their feet again.

  Two people rolled on the ground, clutching their painful spots, but still with a terrified expression.

  "What's wrong with you? What did you see?" Chu Lian furrowed her brow, if they continued to ask like Li Gonggong, they might not be able to get anything useful out of them even if they were beaten to death, she couldn't help but interrupt.

  Perhaps it was Chu Lianruo's gentle voice that made them feel a sense of comfort, or perhaps it was her temperament itself that gave people a feeling of reliability. The two palace maids became much calmer after hearing her words and glanced nervously at Xi Rong and Li Gonggong, who had gloomy faces, before answering in a low voice: "We saw the Jade Noble Consort."

  Shi Yu Yin's death in the Cold Palace was something that Xi Rong knew about, even though she was seriously ill at the time. However, after all, Shi Yu Yin was a woman who had been banished to the Cold Palace, so how could she have any status in Xi Rong's heart?

  Even if Shi Yu Yin had been favored by Xi Rong in the past, and received his love, after her death, she did not receive a single inquiry from him. Just like Qin Zhao Xin, who was abandoned like an old shoe.

  Chu Lian's heart sneered, but her face didn't show it, she just slightly changed color and looked somewhat incredulous: "Don't talk nonsense."

  After saying this, Chu Lian Ruo hurriedly lifted her head to look at Xū Róng, only to see that Xū Róng had narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Is that so? Where did you see Yu Guifei?" Chu Lian and Li Gonggong were both somewhat at a loss as to what Xun Rong was thinking, and could only quietly watch him, falling silent. But unexpectedly, Xun Rong suddenly took the initiative to speak up.

  "Right over there..." Two palace maids huddled together, their eyes fixed on the corner where they had been standing before.

  Mr. Li was about to scold the two again, but Xu Rong had already walked in that direction on his own initiative. Mr. Li was shocked and quickly followed with his men.

  Chu Lian glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground twice, curled up the corner of her mouth and smiled, it seemed that the effect of the medicine was really good.

  These two were among those who killed Shi Yu Yin with that wet nurse, and with her concocted elixir, they indeed did a very good job.

  Xu Rong and the others had already walked far away. Chu Lian followed them, just catching up to Xu Rong's side when they made a new discovery.

  "Who's there?" Li Gonggong scolded, and gave a wink to the guard beside him.

  Several guards came forward together, pulled out a figure from the corner and brought him before Xun Rong.

  Looking at the figure, it was a woman, Chu Lian Ruo standing beside Xi Rong, without making a sound.

  His gaze fell on the person, sizing him up for a few moments. The man was dressed in ordinary palace attire, but looked more disheveled than usual. He didn't recognize who this person was, so he had to ask: "Which palace's servant are you, daring to be so bold?"

  The palace maid heard Xun Rong's question, her body trembled, and she collapsed to the ground, weakly lifting her head, with tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty..."

  When she raised her head, everyone in the scene was frightened, and even Xun Rong couldn't help but take a step back. Li Gonggong hastily shouted: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

  In an instant, dozens of guards rushed over and surrounded Xú Róng and Chǔ Liǎnruò, separating them from that person.

  Perhaps it was because there were more people, and everyone finally had some confidence. Looking at the figure kneeling on the ground, who seemed to be neither human nor ghost, that person turned out to be the deceased Yu Guifei.

  When Yu Guifei died, it was not a big deal, but the people in the palace all knew about it. Her body was also carried out and thrown into a pile of rubble. Who would have thought that one day, there would be an opportunity to see her again in this deep palace?

  Shi Yu Yin saw the fearful look of the crowd, but she didn't make any movement, just staring at Xu Rong with a sorrowful expression, tears streaming down her face.

  Xu Rongjiao was taken aback by the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and had never encountered such a situation before. Seeing Shi Yuyin's body stiffen, he was at a loss for a moment, and looked towards Li Gonggong.

  Li Gonggong was also trembling with fear, his legs were weak, but seeing Xū Róng's expression, he still forced himself to ask: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

  "Your Majesty, I am human. On that day, I was lucky to have escaped with my life, but I am innocent!" Shi Yu Yin had lost a lot of weight over this period of time, but her delicate face remained the same, only looking much paler and thinner.

  Listening to Shi Yu's sincere and heartfelt cry, Xu Rong finally calmed down, seemingly believing her words. After all, who would want a ghost kneeling in front of them?

  He clenched his fists tightly, not wanting to bother with Shi Yu Yin at first, but since Shi Yu Yin had come back from the dead and appeared here, he instinctively felt that something was amiss. He decided to open his mouth and ask: "I've been thinking about you during this period of time, and I know you've suffered a lot. Now that you have the chance to see me again, tell me, what grievances do you have?"

  Upon hearing this, Chu Lian'er lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Shi Yu Yin, but her face was unusually calm.

  Things went as she had arranged, and it was worth her trouble to arrange them.

  Shi Yu Yin is now also a desperate attempt, if she was in the cold palace, even if this life would not have the opportunity to see Xū Róng again, although she also hated Chu Lian Ruo, but did not think that, on the contrary, because of Chu Lian Ruo, because of this disaster, gave her an opportunity to turn over.

  She propped herself up with both hands, heavily knocking her head on the ground several times. When she lifted her head again, blood was already visible on her forehead. Only then did she sob and say: "Your Majesty, the matter of Concubine Die back then was truly a miscarriage of justice for me. I couldn't find any evidence to prove my innocence, and now I don't think about it anymore. It's just that, with women like Concubine Die who have hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions, I know that if I don't reveal her true face to Your Majesty, I fear she will harm you in the future."

  If it were in the past, Shi Yu Yin would have cried to Xu Rong like this, but Xu Rong probably wouldn't have had even half a bit of patience to listen. On the contrary, she would have been extremely disgusted with Shi Yu Yin.

  But now the situation is different, Yuan Mengdie is what kind of woman, he already has a deep understanding, but because there is no evidence to dispose of her, he can only reluctantly keep her. Now Shi Yuyin's crying, it actually makes him feel like every word is piercing his heart, hitting his conscience.

  Shi Yu Yin had been by Xi Rong's side for many years, and was also someone who understood people's intentions. She was very familiar with Xi Rong, otherwise she wouldn't have been favored for so long. Now that she had spoken the words in Xi Rong's heart, it actually brought up a thread of fond memories of her past kindness. Most importantly, with Yuan Meng Die by her side, it highlighted Shi Yu Yin's superiority, even if she was just a deposed empress, she was much better than Yuan Meng Die.

  It suddenly occurred to him that meeting Shi Yuyin wasn't a bad thing after all.

  "I gave you the opportunity today, and it's fine to speak freely. You can still consider my feelings at this time, which shows how deep our relationship is. If it were the case of the imperial son back then, I would have nothing to do with you, but I'm willing to give you another chance, re-investigate the matter, and clear your name."

  Xī Yùyīn and others are just like Xū Róng, she knows that wanting to get Xū Róng's favor is probably too difficult, but giving herself a chance to rebirth is still possible.

  A hint of pride rose in her heart, but Shi Yuyin didn't show it. Instead, she continued to recount how Yuan Mengdie had tried to kill her in the Cold Palace back then, and even brought up the matter of Yuan Mengdie's child, saying that it was all a deliberate trap set by Yuan Mengdie.

  Shi Yu Yin said this without much evidence, but at the critical moment when Xu Rong was thinking of dealing with Yuan Meng Die, Xu Rong would naturally take advantage of it.

  That night, Shi Yu Yin was sent back to the palace where she originally lived. Although her status had not been restored yet, this was undoubtedly a huge gain.

  Shi Yu Yin, with the help of Huang Shang, found out the people who wanted to harm her before. With the help of Chu Lian Ruo's secretly administered fantasy medicine and Shi Yu Yin's sudden reappearance in front of them, the guilty ones became even more fearful and immediately confessed everything, revealing that it was all orchestrated by Yuan Meng Die.

  There was a concubine who plotted against the fallen enemy in the cold palace, which is a common thing in the harem and would not attract the emperor's attention. However, Xiurong still attached importance to this matter and finally had evidence to put Yu Mengdie into the cold palace.

  Xu Rong naturally wanted to kill Yuan Mengdie, but the prime minister would not watch his only daughter die in vain. After much activity and maneuvering, he finally managed to secure a chance for Yuan Mengdie's survival.

  But Chulian knew that the prime minister was just stalling for time, he wouldn't watch his own daughter die and would definitely think of a way to rescue Yuan Mengdie.

  As expected, the prime minister requested an audience with the empress dowager, but the empress dowager had already colluded with Xi Rong and knew of the prime minister's ambitions, so she naturally would not help him.

  Then, there was a stir on the side of the Cold Palace. Qing went to investigate and found that the Prime Minister had sought an audience with the Empress Dowager but was unsuccessful. He bribed someone in the palace and planned to use the tactic of "the golden cicada sheds its shell".

  Chu Lian smiled slightly upon hearing the news, without making any movement, and let Qingqing pass the message to Shi Yuyin's ears.

  On that day, it was indeed discovered again that Yu Mengdie had a miscarriage before, and it was also slander against Shi Yuyin. The emperor was furious and even more disgusted with Yu Mengdie.

  He and Shi Yu Yin went to the Cold Palace together, originally wanting to teach Yuan Meng Die a lesson, but unexpectedly ran into Yuan Meng Die trying to escape with someone arranged by her father. Immediately, she was accused of another crime of private communication and executed on the spot.

  The punishment of women throughout history has been the most cruel form of corporal punishment, this law is even more painful than being torn apart by five horses.

  Things have developed to this point, even if the prime minister tried his best, he no longer had the ability to save Yuan Mengdie.

  From then on, there was no more Butterfly Imperial Concubine in the harem, and Yu Mengdie's name was also prohibited from being mentioned in the palace. Even the bedroom where Yu Mengdie lived was sealed off.
