TICIEC Chapter 59.1

“Sister Ning, I have always been close to Chun Que. I feel bad that she was punished, and this will also affect my pregnancy…”

Shun Pin used the imperial fetus to pressure Ning Wanyin.

Ning Wanyin looked at her with her clear and cold eyes: “Your Majesty, please speak these words to His Majesty. I am only acting according to the rules. As your head maid, Chun Que has an inescapable duty to stop you from going to Linlang Palace.”

“However, she didn’t stop you, which almost caused a disaster. She deserved the fifty lashes. If Shun Pin feels bad about it, please think more about your maids in the future.”

Shun Pin’s face turned pale and then flushed.

This clearly meant that the reason Chun Que was beaten was because of her own actions.

Shun Pin was pregnant with the Emperor’s child, so naturally, she wouldn’t be punished. The Emperor would only reprimand her palace servants.

Ning Wanyin looked at Lian Rui and said, “Issue the order: all palace servants of Changchun Palace shall go to witness the execution. Shun Pin almost got into trouble this time, and His Majesty was furious. They should be punished, but now is a time when we need capable people, so this Jieyu will make a note of it for them. If they perform their duties diligently in the future and Shun Pin gives birth smoothly, then their merits and demerits will cancel each other out. If they are not careful again… Then they will be punished for all their crimes.”

Lian Rui accepted the order.

Xiao Xiazi stepped forward, covered the mouth of the frantically screaming Chun Que, and dragged her away.

Shun Pin watched helplessly as Chun Que was dragged out, feeling both angry and anxious.

She wanted to say, “Ning Wanyin, you have such audacity!”, but she didn’t have the guts to say it.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. This concubine will take her leave now.”

Ning Wanyin curtsied and took her leave.

After Ning Wanyin left, Shun Pin slammed her hand on the table in anger.

But more than being angry at Ning Wanyin, she felt lingering fear.

That vile Fang Zhaoyi almost ruined her prince. Countless people outside were also eyeing her unborn child…

She dared not go out anymore.

Her entire life’s wealth and glory depend on this child, whether it is a princess or a prince; if she miscarried, she would lose everything.

At least give birth to the child first, then there will be hope later!

She still needs to rely on Ning Wanyin.

Thinking of this, Shun Pin gradually calmed down and called out toward the door: “Someone, take the red jade coral from my treasury to Ning Jieyu. Thanks to her for protecting my unborn child, I must thank her properly.”

…

Wei Yingya was released from the Cold Palace.

Her body was covered in bruises from the beatings, and she was completely dazed.

She thought that her life was destined to end tragically in the Cold Palace, but she never expected that there would be a time when she could come out.

What she couldn’t understand even more was that the person who framed her was none other than Fang Zhaoyi, her former honored guest…

They had no past grudges or recent conflicts, and she had always treated Fang Zhaoyi with courtesy. Why would Fang Zhaoyi harm her?

The first thing Wei Yingya did after leaving the Cold Palace was to go to the Ministry of Justice to find Fang Zhaoyi and ask her for clarification.

“Ying Meiren, look at your feet. The ground is covered in blood, staining your shoes.” A eunuch from the Ministry of Justice said politely as he led the way.

Now that Ying Meiren had been restored to her original position, given her former favor, these eunuchs naturally gave her face as well.

Wei Yingya stepped through the sticky bloodstains on the ground, enduring the discomfort in her stomach, and arrived at the execution platform of the Ministry of Justice.

Fang Zhaoyi was beaten until she was covered in blood and on the verge of death.

“Ying Meiren, you only have a quarter of an hour. Please hurry. This servant still has the execution to carry out.” The eunuch on duty reminded her.

Wei Yingya nodded. She looked at Fang Zhaoyi with a mixture of anger and confusion.

“Why did you want to harm me?”

“Hah…”

Fang Zhaoyi, having been tortured for three days and suffering unbearable pain, now only wanted to die. Seeing Wei Yingya, she only felt that she was delaying her journey.

She mocked her: “How naive you are to ask such a stupid question. You are His Majesty’s favorite concubine; countless people in the harem wish you dead. However, you were born into a noble family, so even if others have designs on you, they may not dare to act on you…”

“But your father is dead, and the Wei family title has fallen to your second uncle. Your second uncle wants your life, so I’ll help him send you on your way.”
