In the days that followed, the emperor would always visit Concubine Lou in Lan Yuyuan. He was naturally concerned about whether her health was getting better, and occasionally sent people to bring delicious snacks.

After a wave of operations, Concubine Lou felt a little uncomfortable and would inevitably keep a distance from the emperor when getting along with him.

"Lan'er, you don't seem to talk much in the past two days. Do you...don't like me coming to see you?"

The emperor asked with some disappointment. He came with expectations every time, but Concubine Lou did not show much joy, and her words were not as polite as before, as if she did not want to get too close to him.

After hearing his words, Concubine Lou's expression froze, and then she shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, Yemuqi had no choice but to explain to her: "Father, the emperor, mother and concubine have no such intention."

"It's just that the mother and concubine have lived in the cold palace for too long and have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs. During this period, the father comes to accompany and talk to her every day, so the mother and concubine will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable."

The emperor had seen with his own eyes what it was like in the cold palace. Moreover, Concubine Lou had a cold temperament, so he believed in Yemuqi's explanation.

"Lan'er has indeed suffered."

Looking at Concubine Lou who was not wearing makeup, the emperor's heart was filled with excitement. After thinking about it, he said to Yemuqi: "Your concubine is not in good health. I have ordered the imperial doctor to take medicine to nurse her back to health, and arrangements have been made in the imperial kitchen."

"You should talk to her more these days. I think she will be happier with you by your side."

"Yes, I obey your orders."

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

Concubine Lou bowed slightly and saluted. After these few days of treatment, her illness had improved a lot and she could now get out of bed and walk.

Seeing the smile on her face, the depression in the emperor's heart dissipated a lot. He stood up and held her hand and said, "The weather is very nice today. Come walk with me in the courtyard."

Yemuqi followed them not far away, watching the emperor whisper softly to the noble concubine Lou, and the stone that had been hanging finally fell to the ground.

Although the mother-in-law has left the cold palace, the matter of being falsely accused of having an affair with the guard has not been resolved. Now it seems that it is time.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor proposed to restore the posthumous title of Concubine Lou, but was opposed by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, think twice. Concubine Lou was originally a guilty person. Now that she has left the cold palace, she has violated the laws of our dynasty. How can she regain her posthumous title?"

"I second the proposal! Although Concubine Lou is the biological mother of the prince, she cannot ignore etiquette. I hope the emperor will think twice!"

The courtiers stopped one after another. When the emperor saw this situation, he suppressed his discomfort and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Lou has been with me for more than ten years, why can't she resume her posthumous title?"

"I am just informing you about this matter, not discussing it with you. Do you hear me clearly?!"

However, the emperor's righteous words did not stop the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and they even brought up the past again, just to make the emperor change his mind.

"Concubine Lou is the emperor's concubine, but she secretly has an affair with the bodyguard. This behavior has ignored the etiquette and law. I hope the emperor will punish her severely!"

"The emperor was soft-hearted back then, but now he can no longer defend this person. I sincerely ask the emperor to deal with it."

The two sides were arguing endlessly, and the expression on Yemuqi's face became increasingly ugly. Listening to their various arrangements of his mother and concubine, he instantly became furious.

"My mother-in-law was framed for what happened back then. She stayed in the cold palace for so long on unfounded charges. Do you still want to deal with her now?"

As soon as Yemuqi said these words, the entire Highness fell silent. One of the ministers responded not to be outdone: "Although Concubine Lou is His Highness's biological mother, we cannot ignore ethics."

"Furthermore, the matter of Concubine Lou and the bodyguard's affair has been concluded for a long time, so where does the word 'false accusation' come from?"

The minister confirmed the facts with certainty. Yemqi did not argue with him. He turned around and saluted the emperor: "Father, my mother and concubine were framed back then. I have evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Although the guard who was falsely accused of having an affair with his mother and concubine died, I went through all kinds of hardships to find his mother. I have brought her here and hope that my father will allow her to enter the palace."

"That's right."

The next moment, Yuanyi's mother was brought into the hall by the guards, and came before the emperor under the gaze of everyone.

"A common woman comes to see the emperor!"

The emperor frowned slightly. After all, this matter was related to Concubine Lou's reputation and his face, so it was inevitable that he felt a little alienated.

Yemuqi saw what he was thinking and took the initiative to step forward and said, "Aunt Yuan, do you know what happened back then?"

I saw the old woman wiping her tears sadly, then taking something out of her arms, holding it with both hands and raising it above her head.

"I have a son named Yuanyi who works in the palace. He got this hairpin back a year ago and said that someone ordered him to frame the imperial concubine in the palace."

"Although I tried my best to persuade him, I was seriously ill at that time, and my adopted son ignored the advice in order to treat me."

"Later I learned that my adopted son died in vain, and I guessed that it was related to this matter, so I hid the hairpin, thinking that one day I could use it to clear my son's innocence."

"Half a month ago, I was hunted down. Fortunately, I was saved by a passing righteous man and was able to save my life."

Having said this, the old woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, my son was killed. Please find out the real culprit and give my son justice!"

The emperor's face was extremely ugly. He asked his personal eunuch to take the thing from the old woman's hand, and he recognized it as the queen's hairpin after just one glance.

"presumptuous!"

With a roar, everyone except Yemuqi knelt on the ground tremblingly in fear.

"Come, please the Queen!"

When everyone who was confused just now heard this sentence, they immediately understood that the matter was related to the queen. Several ministers wanted to say good things to the queen, but they did not dare to speak.

The queen, who was in the harem, did not know what was going on in the court. After being summoned by the emperor, she hurried over. It was not until she saw all the civil and military officials of the court kneeling on the ground that she became nervous.

"I have met the emperor."

The emperor looked at her and snorted coldly, throwing the hairpin in his hand in front of her, "Queen, I ask you, was it you who planned the affair between the imperial concubine and the guard?"

The queen was stunned when she saw the hairpin, and then looked at the old lady on the ground, shaking her head and denying: "No. Although I don't know why my concubine's hairpin is here, the matter of Concubine Lou has nothing to do with me."

"It's irrelevant? If you hadn't bribed the guard, why would your things be in her hands?"

"I don't know, but I have never done anything like this. I hope your Majesty will find out."

"Now that there are witnesses and material evidence, you still dare to quibble!"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."

The emperor had already had doubts about what happened back then, and today there was evidence and evidence, and he was even more convinced that the affair between Concubine Lou and the bodyguard was framed.

At that time, Concubine Lou was the most favored, and it was normal for the Queen to be jealous. If you think about it, who else was the one who planned all this, not the Queen!
